"BETH"
Ch. 1:
The Night
Quinn woke up to Beth crying. It was exactly 3:15 am, time for Beth's 2nd feeding of the night. Quinn quietly got out of bed without trying to wake Puck up. She slowly made it down the hallway to her daughter's nursery. She went in and picked up the teary eyed baby girl. She sat down in the old rocking chair her mother used to rock her. She got Beth's bottle and gave it to her. Beth's whimpering slowly subsided. She looked up at Quinn with those beautiful green blue eyes just like her own. Quinn stroked Beth's golden curls as she drank her bottle. "I love you with all my heart. As long as you're my baby, my baby you'll be." Quinn said softly to her. Quinn closed her eyes and she had a flash back to the day she first meet Puck. It was the start of her sophomore year in high school. She was wearing a pink sundress with her blonde wavy hair down. He came up to her and introduced himself. He was the type of boy her dad would never let her date, but there was something about him that she loved. One month later he asked her out. They went out to see a movie. It was an action movie, but Quinn didn't mind. She just liked being with him. He made her feel pretty inside, where it really mattered. He told her that he felt different around her, in a good way though.
Just then Quinn snapped back to reality and Quinn looked down and saw that Beth feel asleep. Quinn put down the bottle and kept rocking her back and forth. Quinn went back to her flashback.
Puck made her feel special. And she did the same for him. They had been dating for two months, when one night after a date Puck invited Quinn into his house. No one was home. They went up to his room. They lay on his bed for a while just talking about life. When suddenly Puck kissed her. The kiss turned into making out. They slowly began going further and further until it turned into sex. And that was the night everything changed. Quinn looked back down at Beth again. Beth looked so serene and peaceful. Perfect in fact. Beth was perfect. Quinn walked over to Beth's crib and gently laid her down. Quinn tiptoed out of Beth's room. She walked into the guest bedroom to sleep, that way she wouldn't wake up Puck. Besides she was now wide awake and still thinking about her flashback. Quinn remembers waking up that next morning and feeling so sick. She threw up twice. She had a knot in her stomach, and not just from being sick. That knot was telling her there was something wrong. Quinn left that morning before Puck had woken up. She drove to the farthest gas station away so no one would recognize her. She walked in and buried her face in her long blonde waves. She hesitantly walked down the isle she never wanted to be spotted in. She checked to see if anyone was looking at her. With her hands shaking, she picked up a small box with the words "pregnancy test" on it. With her hands still trembling she walked towards the front and placed the small box on the counter with $1.25. She was getting into the car, as her phone rang. It was Puck. Quinn couldn't answer. She drove home. She climbed up the secret ladder next to her room she put there for instances like these. She prayed her parents were still in bed. She quietly went into her room. She put her pjs on, messed up her hair, and tried to make it look like she had just woken up. She went into her restroom and just stood there pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do. She couldn't take it any longer. She sat down and took the stick out of the box. She followed the directions. She could feel her heart pounding as she waited for the results. Those were the longest three minutes of her life. She was sweating so much. She left like she could faint at any second. She refused to look at the stick, yet she wanted to know. This result could change her life forever. She could feel her eyes slowly looking down. This was it, she saw it. The tiny "plus" sign. She was pregnant.
