A/N: The scene with Quinn and Puck at the hospital really got to me. Especially because Puck never answered when Quinn turned his question back around him. So, this is what came out of that. Tomorrow I think I'll do one from Quinn's POV of this same scene.

And I'm not really a Quick fan, but I'm slowly learning to not hate it.

Hope you enjoy!

"Do you wanna keep her?"

His heart breaks in two with Quinn's answer.

"No."

His chest tightens, and he struggles to keep his breathing normal. He blinks a couple times in the hope of delaying the onslaught of tears he's afraid is coming. (Badasses don't cry, right?) He loves Quinn. And he's going to respect her decision, because he knows he couldn't do this alone. (He's starting to believe that he'd be a good dad, but he's also aware – more so due to Rachel's current situation – that a little girl needs a mom.) But he just can't understand how Quinn can not want to keep her. He can understand wanting their baby girl to have the best opportunities possible (because he wants that too) but he doesn't understand not wanting that wonderful, perfect, miracle wrapped in a pink blanket through the window in front of them.

"Do you?"

He looks at Quinn; at the face he loves even all red with her hair all over the place. He swallows, and takes a deep breath. He forces himself to think about his little girl growing up with someone who can support her better than he can; taking all the dance classes her little heart desired, that he knows he couldn't pay for. With the love of someone just waiting for a miracle they can't produce themselves.

And he lies.

"No."
