Puck, this isn't working anymore." Her voice was soft, barely audible. They had faced so much together and at such a young age. Every moment together was a reminder of the daughter they no longer had. Puck looked at the girl - woman standing before him. She was beautiful - painfully so. Her cheeks were stained with tears and makeup.

He knew they would never make it together. Love was only a small fraction of what made a relationship work. Puck wasn't angry. All he wanted was for Quinn to be happy and free. It was prom - they both declined on going. After their baby was born high school felt like a different life. They never quite got back into the swing of things. Glee was their only activity, but even that depressed the hell out of them.

Puck wanted to keep her, but Quinn was dead set on giving her away. He could see she regretted the decision, but she would never admit it. Quinn was stubborn. Puck grazed his thumb across her cheek, wanting to feel her soft skin one last time. "I still love you, Q."

"Me too."

There wasn't much left for either of them to say. After Graduation they would go their separate ways, both trying to forget the memory of their daughter. Puck placed a kiss on Quinn's forehead. "I'll see ya around."

Quinn said nothing but smiled.

It was time to finally let go. /i

Beth looked in the mirror; she was the perfect mix of her parents. She had no idea that she shared the same gorgeous blonde hair as her mother, and the soulful brown eyes of her father. There were so many qualities born into her. Her love of music; while crafted by Shelby - was from her father. He was a musician at heart; always performing music.

It was a warm night in April. The air smelled of new flowers and rain. It was the perfect night, but Beth felt lonely. She was coming up empty on all her searches for information about her birth parents. Figures, the only time she ever wanted to do research and it was impossible. Beth held back the tears, not wanting to show any signs of weakness.

Maybe she would always have to live without answers?

Beth turned on her radio; always preferring to listen to that then her Ipod. She enjoyed being surprised at what would play next. Unlike most girls her age, Beth enjoyed the classic. Those songs always felt a little bit more personal to her.

Shelby poked her head in Beth's bedroom. "Dinner's almost ready baby," She saw the tears streaming down her daughters face. "what's the matter?"

"I just - it's not important though." Beth told her. She really didn't want to get into this.

"Honey, you can talk to me." Shelby reassured her. They both sat together on Beth's bed. Shelby knew this day would eventually come. Her daughter had questions and they needed to be answer. "What's going on?"

Beth wiped her nose and breathed in deeply. "What are their names?"

Shelby felt that familiar ache in her heart. Beth would always be her daughter, but she raised a smart girl - one who had so many questions. At first, she tried to hide the adoption; hoping that maybe Beth would have no questions. The truth could never be hid - Beth was a smart girl. Shelby loved her daughter too much to see her suffer the way she had made Rachel suffer.

"Noah and Quinn."

Beth smiled sadly. Even knowing their names gave her a sense of comfort. While she knew they would never be in her life, she somehow felt they were close by. "I'm sorry if I am upsetting you."

Shelby place a kiss on her daughter's forehead. "Honesty is the most important thing to me, Beth. I want you to know that you can ask me anything."

"Do you know anything about them?" Beth asked softly. She wanted to know why they gave her up.

Shelby thought back to the day at the hospital. The way those two looked at Beth showed nothing but love. Shelby wished she knew more, but she told Beth all she did. "They really loved you and they wanted what was best for you. They were so young..."

"They loved me?"

"They still love you baby."
