Hey guys! So these first few chapters are just going to be an intro to Puck and Quinn's home life etc before it starts getting into the real story-line. *spoiler* but Beth is in this, just to clarify. Beth is 17, Aaron is 11 (i know i said he was either 12 going on 13 or 13 on 14 but it just simpler to make him a little younger) Riley is 4 and Puck and Quinn are 32. Please review and let me know your thoughts and what you guys want to see! I wanna incorporate what you guys want into my ideas, and if you have any questions that involve possible spoilers PM me and I will answer right away! Just don't wanna spoil it for anyone. I should be updating more frequently and it'll really enter the main plot of the story in a chapter or so. Thank you all so much!


"So how's school?" Puck asked taking a bite out of a slice of pizza. He reached for Aaron's garlic knot and he slapped his hand away.

He shot a glare at Puck, "Schools fine."

Puck bit the inside of his cheek, "you think you're real cool with that attitude huh?" He watched his son poke at his food, leaning his elbow on the table and his cheek resting on his palm.

Aaron looked at Puck and twitched his lip to the side, "No."

"You know you could always just tell me what's up, you got your period yet?" He gave Aaron a playful smirk

"Haha dad, real funny." He was so much like his mom. If Quinn was upset nothing could cheer her up, she would just have to talk about it. The more the topic was avoided the more aggravated she got.

"Is this about your mom?" Puck asked crossing his arms and leaning forward a little and Aaron just looked down and nodded his head. He and Quinn were very close- he was a huge mamas boy. Recently she just hasn't had time to be the mom she was, "First of all, your mother loves you, she wants the best for you that's why she's working so hard."

Aaron nodded, "I just feel like she loves her clients more than us."

Puck shook his head, "You gotta understand that the reason why she doesn't have much time for us because she wants to make your life better and easier. You're her carbon copy there's no one she loves more than you."

"Even you?"

"We have a different kind of love, but if we were both drowning she'd save you." Aaron laughed a little and was quiet for a minute. He picked up his slice of pizza and took a bite. "And I want you to be a little more respectful towards your mom. You know she loves you, today I think she goes on trial- her last one for a while so-"

"I'll be nice dad I promise, like I wanna have both of you not just one at once." He said looking down at his pizza, avoiding any eye contact with Puck.

Puck rose and eyebrow and shrugged, "We're both working hard son, you know me with school, mom with work-"

"You just want what's best for me I know dad, I know."

"Give it some time, in 2 weeks you're gonna wish she goes back with all the love she's gonna be smothering you with."


Quinn stepped out of the courthouse, of course she had won the case, due to lack of evidence that she had thrown out due to the Fruit from the forbidden tree doctrine. There were news reporters, she hated journalists. With the credibility she's been gaining she hated them, always pestering her with questions, taking up her valuable time. It was the worst part of her job.

She looked over and saw her client with her family, she had 5 kids. They were all crying and hugging her. That was the best part of her job. Allowing people to have a second chance, legally erasing their mistakes. Linda looked over at Quinn and smiled, Quinn smiled back and Linda walked up to Quinn, wiping the tears off her face. She came over with her daughter and Quinn smiled big at her, kneeling down.

"Hey sweetheart!"

"Hi Miss Quinn." The little girl swayed back and forth looking at the floor.

Linda squeezed her hand, "It's Mrs Puckerman, Jocelyn."

Quinn smiled and shook her head, "You can call me whatever you want." Quinn punched the girls cheek, "how old are you" Jocelyn held up 4 fingers, "Wow! My Riley is 3, you've met Riley."

"Mhm, long time ago." She nodded and was still swaying back and forth.

Quinn smiled, "Well, your mom has my number if you want to hang out again, okay sweetie?"

She nodded at her, "Thanks for everything Miss Quinn." Jocelyn smiled, "I would've missed my mommy a lot if she had to go." Tears were forming in her big brown eyes. Quinn felt some in hers. It was so sad to her that a 4 year old had to understand that their mom could potentially go to jail, and just be gone.

Quinn held it back with a smile, "It's my job."

Jocelyn gave Quinn a big hug, she pulled out and smiled at Quinn, "You're the best at your job."

Quinn smiled at her and moved her hair out of her face, and turned around abruptly when she heard a honking noise. She saw Puck and Aaron in the window. She waved a hand at them, signaling for them to come over.

Puck got out of the car and locked the door while Aaron of course stayed in. Quinn stood up and shook her head, "such a brat." Puck walked over and kissed Quinn's forehead.

"He's pissed I lectured him." He took Quinn's briefcase and smiled at Linda, "congrats Lin." He gave her a one armed hug and smiled at her when he pulled out, squeezing her shoulder.

Jocelyn smiled up at Puck, "Hi Mr. Puckerman." She waved up.

He smiled, "oh, what's up princess."

Jocelyn giggled, "nothing."

"You happy mommys coming home?"

She smiled and nodded, "Mhm"

Linda put an arm on her shoulder, "I'm gonna go Quinn, thank you so much again for everything."

She smiled, "No problem keep in touch" Quinn smiled and waved at them. They turned around and began walking to the car, "so what happened with Aaron."

"He said he wants both of us present and misses you and how shit used to be."

She tilted her head back, "oh my god" she sighed out, "I'm too tired right now, the prosecutor gave me fucking hell."

He laughed a little and pinched her cheeks, "but my baby always wins."

Quinn sighed and laughed, "Puck stoppp" she whined and he let go, "I'm not taking anymore fucking cases until the kids start the new school year."

Puck smirked, "We'll see, you're a friggin workaholic" he opened the car door and grabbed his glasses- yeah he was old.

She got into the car and smiled at Aaron, "hey sonny."

Aaron resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Hi mom, how was work."

Quinn turned around and put on her seatbelt, "good, we won the case." She took her hair out of her sleek, tight bun and sat back in her seat.

"Don't you always?"

"Yep, but I won't for a few months, that was my last case until September."

Though he was trying to hide it, a little hopeful smile creeped on Aaron's face, "really?"

"Yep. Your dad needs to focus on school this summer." She pinched Puck's cheeks while he was driving and Aaron laughed

"School is 4 hours a day, 3 times a week, I'll have time." Puck smacked away Quinn's hand

Quinn turned around, "Okay, then I just missed hanging out with you" she held her hand out, Aaron smiled, high fived it and Quinn squeezed his hand.


Puck and Quinn had dropped Aaron off at a friends house, Quinn knew that he was an 11 year old kid and wanted to play videos games and talk about girls. But he was only allowed technology on the weekends, so he might as well enjoy it.

"Remember when we were younger" Puck said, putting his arm on the back of her seat and pulling out of parking, "like when you were pregnant with Beth." He changed the gear and began driving, "you used to give me road head every time we were alone in the car."

Quinn laughed and tilted her head back, "you were my baby daddy, who had a Mohawk and a hummer and I was rebellious."

"I mean I could cut my hair if that's all it takes." Puck smirked at her and she laughed

"It's a very primitive thing I guess for me, even now you still look so sexy when you drive." Puck began to take the buckle off of his pants, "stop" she said while laughing.

Puck smiled at her, "wanna go out?"

"Where?"

He shrugged, "like out, on a date. I read somewhere that it's really good for married couples to go out on dates."

"Where, in one of your cosmos?" She grinned at him and he raised his hand up, jokingly.

"Watch your mouth before I watch it for you." Quinn chuckled and rose an eyebrow at him, "even if it's just like out to eat or something, it hasn't been just us two in a while, like since Riley was born, figured since neither of us is really working, we'd have time for us."

Quinn smiled at him and put a hand on the back of his head, "but how would I make time for the young guys I'm cheating on you with."

Puck shook his head, "you could just say no if you don't wanna go out."

"Aw look at my baby getting hurt" she pinched his cheeks

"Quinn stop."

She pulled her hand away, "of course we'll go out." Quinn put her hand on his knee and tapped on it.

"Finn is coming in a few days so I'm gonna be busy fucking him for a little, but then I'll come straight to you."

"Finns coming?!" Quinn asked with big eyes.

"Yeah, he's finally off from work and made time for the love of his life."

Quinn smiled softly, "Holy shit, I haven't seen him in like 7 years."

Puck nodded, "me either, I mean we talk and text or whatever but I haven't been able to see him in person for a while. He's gonna be staying in Ohio for a while though, think he's trying to teach at McKinley."

"Where's he staying? In Lima?"

Puck shook his head, "no, he found an apartment in Cleveland for cheap."

Quinn shook her head, "no way is he staying in Cleveland, why doesn't he just stay with us until he finds an apartment... In Lima."

He sighed, "I told him that, he refuses- doesn't wanna be a burden."

Quinn ran her fingers through her hair, "do you know how bad Cleveland is now, way worse than when I was living there when Aaron was born- even then was bad."

"Cause you refused to stay with my mom..."

"Puck, I had Aaron, you came back and I thought I was pregnant I wasn't gonna have 2 kids running around your moms apartment, with Sarah too I didn't wanna bother them."

Puck shook his head, "whatever." He gripped onto the steering wheel, "I'm just gonna get him drunk and make sure he knocks out on our couch."

Quinn pursed her lips and nodded, "good idea."

Puck pulled over and took the key out of the ignition.

"By the way I'm taking the kids to see my mom and dad tomorrow."

"What?!"

Quinn closed her eyes, "I know, I know. My mom and dad are back together and he hasn't met Riley, he really wants to."

"Fuck that, he really wanted to meet Beth and you saw how he treated her."

"he's older now and was mad at me and his life. He's my dad and they're going."

"They're my kids and they're not."

"Puck, stop being immature." It was like bitter 15 year old Puck was coming out, the one with the Mohawk that Russell hated and the one that Quinn fell in love with, "he invited you too."

Puck laughed and shook his head, "No fucking way." He got out of the car and slammed the door.

"Fuck." Quinn spat and opened her door, slamming it too.

"Hey ma." Puck walked up to his mom who was sitting on the stoop, smoking a cigarette. He leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "how was she."

"God she doesn't shut up. Worse than you when you were a kid."

Puck laughed, "Sarah's inside?" his mother nodded and he went inside.

Quinn walked up and leaned down, kissing his mother on the cheek. she hated the smell of cigarettes. "Hey Elaine, how are you?"

"What happened?" Elaine asked putting out her cigarette. She knew Quinn hated smell. Quinn furrowed her brow, "a mother knows her son."

Quinn smiled a little, "Something stupid." She opened the front door, "you coming in?"

Elaine nodded and got up. Quinn held the door open for her and then Riley ran into Quinn's legs, hugging them tight. "Mommy, daddy and Sawah ah talking about you in the kitchen."

Quinn shook her head and picked up Riley. "Sarah, Noah! Come in the living room! Riley go check upstairs on Adam." Elaine put her hand on the back of Riley's head.

Riley quickly ran up the stairs. Quinn shook her head, "Honestly it's fine, I can deal with Puck later he's just being stubborn."

"Noah! Don't talk about your wife behind her back, come here!"

Puck came in quickly and Sarah followed behind him, "What Ma?"

"Take a seat bubba" she walked up to Puck and pinched his cheeks "you want anything to drink?"

Quinn smiled a little and Puck grabbed his moms forearms, "seriously Ma." She was never a sweet mom she loved him of course and he was a mommas boy, she just wasn't sweet. And when she was it was in a mocking or condescending way.

"What's the issue?" She eyed Puck and Sarah and sat on the couch. Sarah sat next to her and Puck sat down on the opposite couch. Quinn sat on the other side of it.

Puck pinched the bridge of his nose, "Quinn wants to take the kids to see her father-"

"and mother." Quinn added, "they got back together last month."

"So?" Sarah rose an eyebrow, "I remember what he put you through he doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"It's not sympathy, he's still my father." She refrained from commenting on their father, that if he showed up they would want to introduce their kids to him, "I don't want my kids wondering why they never met him."

Puck sucked his teeth "They won't fucking wonder, we're gonna tell them they kicked you out, cheated on your mom and treated you both like shit." Quinn shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Do you not remember what he said to Beth? To all of us?!" Sarah's brow furrowed, "Quinn I love you but he doesn't care about anyone but himself."

"You guys listen." Elaine looked at Puck and Sarah who both had the same angry expression on their faces, "if your father came back I would make you guys come and bring your kids and you guys would."

"Over my dead fucking body."

"Whatever then Noah, but just because you hate your shitty father doesn't mean Quinn hates hers." Elaine put her hand on Sarah's back, "Judy is a very nice woman, I don't think she would take him back cause she's bored." Puck was looking straight, avoiding any eye contact with Quinn or his mom, "and just go, if you feel he's being out of line, leave."

Quinn moved over closer to Puck and rested her arm on his knee, "Okay Ma." The power Elaine had over Puck was so cute to her. Aaron was nothing like that, he used to be but he fought back and forth with Quinn, that's how she was with her parents too. Puck was always a mommas boy, even when she first moved in when she was 15, Puck barely argued with her- only when it came to Quinn or Beth.

Quinn wasn't mad at him, she knows he takes it personal, since he's a man, his dad treated him like shit and so did Quinn's he didn't think they deserved it. Maybe it because Quinn never knows what it is to be a father, maybe it's because she's a daddy's girl at heart but she wanted him to be a part of their life.

Elaine got up and looked at her kids, who were both looking at the ground, then went upstairs.

Sarah hugged herself a little, they rarely spoke of their father. Last time Puck saw him he was 18, Sarah was 11, since then they hadn't really spoke of him. "Sorry Q."

She shook her head and held up her hand, "don't apologize. It's fine." Quinn took her arm off of Puck's knee and put her hand on the back of his head, stroking it.

"You don't have to go you know, and I won't stay long."

Puck shook his head, "No." Finally he looked at Quinn, "I'm gonna go."


Puck walked in with a sleeping Riley on his shoulder. Quinn kicked off her shoes and sighed once she laid down on the couch. Puck went to put Riley to sleep in her room and Aaron came out of his.

"Mom!" He called out, watching his mother run her hand over her forehead

"Yeah?" Quinn turned around and saw Aaron with his phone in his hand.

"There's this awesome trailer I have to show you, this movie comes out tomorrow and I really wanna see it." He kneeled down next to Quinn, loading a video on his phone.

Quinn sighed, "we're going to my moms tomorrow, we aren't staying for long."

His brow furrowed, "yeah okay." Every time they went to Judy's they stayed for a minimum of 3 hours, "maybe the day after tomorrow we can go see this, looks like a good family movie. We can also go with Daniel and his parents."

Quinn smiled at him and ran her fingers through his hair, "I'll talk to your dad." She pinched his cheeks and he smacked her hand away, her brow furrowed.

"Pimples."

She smiled again and shook her head, "go back to bed it's 10 o'clock we're going early to your grandmas."

Aaron rolled his eyes, "I'm going to bed but not to sleep." He stood up and looked down at Quinn

She held out her hand, "do whatever you want just make sure you're up at 9."

He low-fived her and she squeezed his hand, "okay ma, goodnight."

"Night baby" She let go of his hand and he went to his room. Puck pushed himself off of the wall, walked over to Quinn and smirked.

"Say thank you."

She rolled her eyes, "shut up Puck." Quinn grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, flipping through the channels.

Puck grabbed the remote from her and set it on the bedside table, "you know." He laid down above her, hovering over her, "the kids are asleep and we're both here, awake." He pressed his lips to hers then down her jaw and her neck.

Quinn bit her lip, "Puck... I-"

"Shh, just let me." He breathed out against her neck and pressed a hot, wet kiss on her sweet spot. His tongued brushed against it and he sucked on it lightly.

Quinn closed her eyes and wrapped an arm around his neck, she could fall asleep like this. Him over her, just breathing against her neck, nipping, biting, kissing, licking and sucking on it. She nearly was, but she didn't want to fall asleep- she wanted to fuck her husband. Quinn's hands went to his shoulders and she gripped on to his shirt, "take it off Puck"

She felt his smirk against her neck, Puck got on his knees and pulled his shirt over his head. Quinn ran her hands up and down his chest and pulled him back down. He kissed her lips and she bit into his bottom lip softly. Then her phone started ringing. She pulled away, "fuck."

"Ignore it baby, everyone knows you're off." He unbuttoned her blouse and rolled it off of her shoulders.

She looked at her phone and saw an unfamiliar number, "Hello?" She asked with a furrowed brow

"Hey Quinn it's Beth- i just got a new number."

Quinn's eyes widened, she sat up, as did puck and put the phone on speaker, "Hey sweetie what's up"

"Nothing, I was just wondering if I could stay with you guys for a few weeks this summer."

"Oh, yeah of course you can." It had been five years since they've seen beth, they call and text but hadn't spent time together, since both of them were so busy, Beth was focusing on school and cheer. Now she graduated and was going to Brown in the fall, so she had a bit of free time.

"Cool, Ill call you tomorrow, sorry i called so late by the way, i just spoke to my mom about it, she said it's cool. Is Puck there?"

"Yeah baby, I'm right here." He spoke into the phone and was grinning, "so when do you plan on coming, your mom isn't working this summer, so she says, so the sooner the better."

"Aw, you just wanna see me asap don't you."

Puck laughed a little, "True, true."

"Probably in a week or two, Im gonna go see online for the cheapest ticket available."

"If you need us to pay for your ticket it's not problem at all-"

"Dad- its fine. I just gotta get ready and say bye to my friends who are going away to college. Ill call you guys tomorrow, bye."

"Bye baby." Puck hung up the phone and Quinn grinned at him, "that was random."

Quinn was smiling, "Shelby mentioned it to me a few months ago but she never really followed through."

Puck smirked, "i guess beth did." This was great, Quinn wasn't working, Puck was in school which had become extremely easy for him and his first-born was coming.

She ran her fingers through his hair, "i love you"

"I love you too baby" he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, Quinn pulled out slowly.

"But we aren't having sex tonight." She got up and ran to the kitchen.

"We'll see about that!" He called out after her and chased after her. Even after all these years she was still a tease but he was in too good of a mood to not fuck her brains out.


Quinn woke up with Puck's arms draped around her. He usually slept on his side of the bed but whenever they have sex, Puck always cuddles. She pulled his arm off of her which of course woke him up.

"Babe, just five more minutes." He wrapped his arm back around her, pulling her closer into him.

Quinn sighed, "Puck we gotta go see my parents." She looked over at the clock which read 8:30. She did have some time.

Puck let go of her and laid down on his back, "I did well huh?" He raised an eyebrow at her and she let out a huff

"Amazing." She said dully

"Are you being sarcastic Quinn?"

She shook her head, "Me? No. Never." She stood up and limped around the room as she grabbed her clothes that they had tossed around their room last night. They had sex for 3 hours. She hated having sex like that, during and immediately after it's great- but when she woke up she could barely walk. She threw Puck's boxers to him, "Where's ur shirt i just wanna make some coffee."

He held up his shirt, "Come take it."

Quinn rolled her eyes, walked over and reached for the shirt, he quickly pulled his hand back,

"Just one kiss" Quinn shook her head, laughed a little and pressed her lips lightly to his. He handed her the shirt and grinned at her, "is it weird how I never got used to how hot you are naked." Puck looked his wife up and down.

She laughed and shook her head. She turned around, just before she pulled Puck's long t-shirt over her head, he smacks her ass- hard.

"Puck!" She said pulling the shirt down, "that hurt, my whole body is fucking sore."

He stretched his arms up and arched his back, "Well don't worry." Puck pulled on his boxers and stood up, "we wont be having sex like that for a while" he grabbed her face and kissed her, "next time I wont even try to make you come, okay?

She smacked his arm, "shut up."

Puck walked to the door, opened it and stood on the other side of it, "I'll make us coffee, you don't know how to do shit. Just get ready for mommy and daddy." He looked over and smirked at her.

"Fuck you" she picked up a pillow and threw it at him but he quickly shut the door.


"Mommy i hate dwesses" Riley whined from the backseat

"Hey, don't say hate it's not nice." Quinn said while she did her make up in the mirror in the car, "just have to wear it for a little, your grandpa thinks all girls should wear dresses."

"Thats stu- silly." Riley's brow furrowed and Quinn turned around. It was crazy how much she looked and acted like Puck.

"It is stupid" Puck said looking at Riley through the rear-view mirror, "but at least you look cute." He pulled over in front of Quinn's old house. It looked exactly the same as it did the first time he came over nearly 20 years ago, "Q" he put the car in park, "i really don't wanna stay too long."

Quinn's eyes rolled back, "fucking relax Puck" she said under her breath as she opened her door. She walked around the car and took Riley out of her carseat.

"Mommy, is grandpa nice?"

Quinn nodded, "Yeah he is." She put Riley down and held her hand as they walked to the front. Puck followed behind with Aaron and Quinn knocked on the door.

Judy opened the door, smiling big at all of them, "Hi guys! Come on in"

"Hi gwanma!" Riley stretched her hands up to hug her and Judy picked her up. Riley loved Judy, she always got her everything she wanted and every time they went over, which was rarely, she would give her 20 dollars.

"Hey sweetie! You excited to see grandpa?"

Riley played with Judy's hair, she rarely wore it down, "Mhm" she mumbled while nodding.

"Hey Judy" Puck kissed her cheek, as much as he despised Russell and was disappointed that Judy took him back. He liked Judy, he felt horrible for her though.

"Hi mom" Quinn kissed her mom's cheek and took Riley from her, "Where's dad"

"Oh! He's just fixing up something for you guys in the kitchen" Judy smiled at Quinn and then her eyes went to Aaron, "My god Aaron, you've gotten so big!" She leaned down a little and hugged him, "How's baseball going?" She closed the door behind them and walked with him in the house.

Aaron bonded with Judy over baseball even though she had no idea what she was talking about. Puck braced himself for the exhausting small talk he would have to have with that cunt Russell Fabray.

Quinn was holding onto Puck's fingers and dragged him into the kitchen, even at 32- she felt the need to hold his hand to feel safe, "Hey dad" Quinn had a faint smile on her face.

He turned around and smiled, "Oh Quinny" he walked over and kissed her head, "and Puck, how are you" he stuck out his hand and Puck took it

"I'm fine."

"How's the air force treating you?" He asked, putting his hands on his hips.

"I got shot, so I retired early. I'm gonna go back to work in a few months." Puck felt something against his legs and saw Riley hiding behind, peaking her head out.

Russell grinned, "who's this pretty little girl."

"Dad, this is Riley." Quinn moved out of the way but Riley stayed behind Puck.

"Hi sweetie"

Riley stayed behind and stuck her hand out, waving. They all started laughing.

Russell still had a grin cemented onto his face, maybe it was genuine. Puck still hated him, "I'm making some waffles, wanna help?"

"I love waffoos!" She jumped from behind Puck and stood next to Russell, "do you have chocolate chip?" Her whole face scrunched up and Quinn smiled at her, she just reminded her so much of Puck- with this waffles bullshit.

"Its your lucky day, I do! We can put strawberries too if you like." He told her and she made a sour face

"Mommy would love some fwuits."

He chuckled "Your grandpa hates fruits too, but trust me you'll love it."

Puck didn't hate him entirely- he hated the things he's done to Quinn and can't forgive him for what he said to Beth, but it looked like he was really going to begin explaining himself when he invited Puck and Quinn out on the patio.

Quinn had a drink in her hand, something light, a mimosa. It was Sunday afternoon and she had been working like a dog the past two weeks, this was exactly what she needed, "What's up dad?" she asked leaning against the wall of the house, Puck did the same.

"Sit, sit" he waved his hand as he settled down in to a chair next to Judy, "ouh, my back isn't what it used to be." He huffed out and exhaled.

Quinn smiled at her dad and sat down on a long chair next to Puck. Russell had more grey hair than the last time she saw him, 6 years ago, "Thanks for making breakfast dad"

"Oh no problem, Judy's fresh Belgian waffles have nothing on my toaster ones" he said laughing, which then turned into a cough. Russell wasn't too old, he just looked it and was sick from all the cigars and cigarettes he had been smoking all those years.

Puck held his beer in his hands and offered it to him, "Do you need?" Quinn elbowed him and he rolled his eyes, "It wont fuck him up Q don't worry."

Russell shook his head and then cleared his throat, "Thank you Puck." Judy was rubbing her hand on his shoulder as his eyes fell to the ground.

"Russell, why'd you call them over?" She asked in that mom tone, trying to get him to speak up.

He had a nervous smile, almost looking disappointed, "Always has to be a reason right?"

"Well, you haven't really talk to us in 7 years so..." Puck began and Quinn elbows him again, a little harder this time.

"6 years 8 months and 2 weeks." Russell said in a matter of fact tone. Puck's eyebrow arched at him,

"Saying what I said to Beth, my only- well my first grand-daughter stayed with me. First and last time I saw her."

Being reminded of that day made Puck resent Russell and not wanna let him near Riley or Aaron, "Last time we've seen her too. She hasn't been able to come back, she didn't feel wanted." Puck waited for the elbow but Quinn and stared at anywhere besides her dad's sad, low eyes.

Russell sighed, "first off, I wanna apologize to the two of you-"

"Sorry Russell but fuck your apology. My daughter didn't talk to me or Quinn for a whole year. At all. No call. No text. Nothing, not even her adoptive mom because she begged her not to. All because of you."

"Puck can you-"

Russell held up his finger, "he's right Quinny." Puck held up his head a little and Russell continued, "You guys are so lucky."

Puck's jaw dropped a little and he leaned forward, "excuse me?"

"Noah I'm 61 years old, how old are you?"

"32."

"And are you happy?"

Puck nodded, "Of course I am."

"At 32 I was a sad young man." He sat up a little, "that's why I left you guys and I regret it to this day. I never made mistakes when i was younger, never knew what I wanted. I just did was I was told and that was it."

If Russell wanted Puck to feel sorry for him he was really losing it.

"So i went searching for that fun, that life you see on TV. Do what wasn't expected of me. You guys got that out of the way early and were able to settle, I'm 60 years old and I need to keep growing."

Puck rubbed his eye, "I don't see your point."

"My point is, I know I was shitty and I may have realized a little too late that my family is the only thing I want and need. But I'm hoping we can out all the bad, horrible and selfish things I've done behind us and just all be a family."

Quinn felt herself about to cry she nodded her head and practically jumped to her father. Her arms were tight around his neck, "Of course."

Judy was crying too and wrapped her arms around the two of them. Puck stood up and put his hands in his pockets. He just stood in front of them as they were in a sobbing embrace.

Quinn pulled out and wiped her face, she stood up next to Puck and smiled at Russell.

"What do you say" Russell offered his hand.

"We can be a family, but not as your last dying wish shit. It's for my kids. Because that's what always comes first." It was a little to late to rub it in his face, with Russell's kids all grown, but whatever.

Russell nodded and smiled at Puck, "Thank you."

"It has nothing to do with you." Puck looked at Quinn quickly and saw the disappointment and hurt on her face, "I'm gonna go check on the kids" he walked back into the house and Quinn shook her head.

"Sorry about him, he'll get over it."

Russell nodded, "He's right. As bad as i was Quinny you turned out great, I am so proud of you."

"Well i had a lot of help dad" she looked at the floor and smiled, "It's not all me."

"Help is one of the keys to success."

That made her think of her job. She almost missed it.
