Updating! Yay! So that was a pretty good episode. A lot of Shelby which is always awesome! And the scene where Puck tells Shelby he's in love with her! And him and Beth! Eep! Also, I loved when Quinn went to Shelby's!

But I can't WAIT until 2 weeks (which sucks) did you see the promo? Shelby was basically crying! Oh and Quinn and Puck in bed? Does Quinn Febray want me to shoot her? I need this episode now! Anyway, until I throw my CPU in anger about the wait or use all my tissues from my emotional state, let's update this baby!

Also the start of this chapter takes place exactly where we left off last chapter. Gonna change the date in the story to Friday(:

Shelby was laying on her couch. Puck had just kissed her forehead and then left. She knew that everything was happening so fast. Stuff was happening that shouldn't. It should feel so awkward, but it was the opposite. It was perfect.

Her thoughts were interrupted by crying coming from Beth's room. She got up and walked into the bedroom. She looked down into the crib at the little girl. Coughs and sobs came out of the tiny girl's body.

She reached into the crib and picked up Beth. She held the sweet smelling girl close and felt that her body was hotter than usual. "Shh, I got you baby," she cooed her girl with. She got the thermometer and checked Beth.

Nervous, Shelby looked at the tiny screen. 102.3

She started shaking. From the times that Beth had been sick, it wouldn't be anything to alert a doctor about. If she had a fever, it would only go up to 99. But this, she was scared for Beth's health.

Shelby adjusted the girl on her hip and pulled out her cell phone, dialing Puck's number.


Puck was sitting on his couch when a call came in from Shelby. Usually she would text him, but calling? Something must have been up. "Shelby? What's wrong?" he asked frantically.

It was a goal for Shelby to not cry. She didn't want to cry, but it was her baby. She couldn't help the tears that started to run down her face and the shakiness in her voice. "B-Beth has a fever. A h-high one."

Puck jumped up from his seat. He grabbed his keys and ran outside, still talking to Shelby on the phone. "I'm coming to your house. Don't worry."

He arrived at her condo 10 minutes later. He knocked on the door and Shelby came. She opened the door, revealing Beth crying from her swing. "I'm sorry I called you. I just don't have anyone else," Shelby said, her tears beginning to come again.

Puck stepped closer and held her close, pressing her head against his chest, and rubbing her soft brunette locks to give her comfort. He let her cry for a few more seconds before she pulled back. "Don't be sorry, I am happy you called me," he said.

That's when they focused their attention onto Beth. They both walked over and kneeled next to the little girl in the swing. She was crying, coughing, and had a temperature. Shelby reached out and touched her tiny hand. "Don't cry baby."

It broke Puck's heart. His little girl was sick, and Shelby was sobbing. "We should take her to the doctor," Puck said, looking down into Shelby's deep, dark brown orbs.

She nodded and then picked up Beth before handing her to Puck who cuddled her close. Shelby grabbed her purse. "Ready?" she asked quietly.

Puck nodded and followed Shelby out of the condo, still holding Beth. They got Beth's car seat from Shelby's car and put it into Puck's. Puck drove while Shelby sat in the back with Beth. On the way to the hospital, Beth started wheezing heavily, which scared Shelby more than before.

They got into the hospital parking lot and carried Beth in. Puck ran up to the front desk. "My baby is running a 103 temperature and is having trouble breathing," he spoke frantically.

The nurse at the front desk called for a doctor, who came right away. And by the time Beth was laid on the stretcher, her lips were swelling and she was sobbing. She was having more trouble breathing than before.

They rushed her into a room, that only allowed the patient and the staff. When Dr. Mallard told Shelby that, she tried to run. Puck's arm wrapped around her waist to hold her back. "My baby," she cried, "I want to see my baby."

Puck didn't let go of Shelby. He pulled her closer. She leaned her head on his chest. "It's ok, Shelby. Everything is going to be ok. I got you," he spoke softly.

Shelby pulled back and looked up. "I need to see her. To make sure she is ok."

Puck moved his hands up to her shoulders and rubbed gently. "She's gonna be fine. Let's go to the waiting room." He placed his hand on her back and directed her to the waiting area. They sat and waited.

After a little while, Shelby was growing nervous, and it was obvious by her eyes. Puck gently reached over and took Shelby's hand, wrapping it in his own. "It's all going to be ok," he reassured her one last time before the nurse appeared in the waiting room.

"Family of Beth Corcoran?" she asked with a smile.

Shelby stood up so fast that she almost toppled over. Almost. Puck wrapped his arm around her shoulders and guided her down the hall, following the nurse.

They got into the room and the sight broke Shelby's heart exploded into a million pieces. Beth was laying there, on a tiny bed, her eyes opening and closing. "Is-is she ok?" Shelby asked quietly.

Doctor Mallard spoke up. "It turns out that little Beth her is allergic to nuts," he said. "I'm guessing you didn't know that?"

Shelby ran her hand through her hair. "I didn't know. I put this new powder in her milk. It had almonds."

"Then that's what the problem was," he said.

"Is she going to be ok?" Shelby asked.

Doctor Mallard looked up with a smile. "She will be fine. She has to stay overnight for observation though. The allergy got pretty serious. Her throat could have closed completely."

Puck looked at Shelby and noticed that she was on the verge of sobbing. He knew she didn't like crying in front of other people so he decided to talk for her. "Can you give us a minute?" he asked Doctor Mallard nicely.

"Sure," he replied, standing up and then leaving the room.

As soon as he was gone and the door was closed, Shelby couldn't hold it in anymore. She wrapped her arms around Puck's neck and his arms drifted to his waist. "It's not your fault," he whispered.

"Y-yes it is. Why did I put that almond crap in her milk. I'm so stupid," she said, still holding on.

Puck pulled back, still holding Shelby's waist. "Stop saying that. It's not true and you know it. We couldn't have known about Beth's nut allergy. Why don't you stop blaming yourself and see your daughter?"

Shelby blinked back tears when he said that. Honestly, it was so super sweet. She gently kissed his cheek before sitting on the bed next to her baby. She stroked back the blond curls and kissed her forehead. "Mommy's here now," she said softly to her child.

Beth reached out a tiny hand and Shelby took it and kissed the tiny knuckles. Puck came behind the two and placed his hand on Shelby's shoulder. For once, she didn't feel alone.

Ya like? I intended it on being way longer but I have to go to sleep! I'll probably update tomorrow or sometime during the weekend. If I don't have the chance, I WILL update on Tuesday. So the question…
