It had been a week since Puck tried to talk to Rachel about seeing Quinn and still no luck. He went to class, but Rachel didn't seem to be impressed. He stepped up in Glee and asked for more solos, but still, Rachel didn't budge. Puck even thought telling Rachel he quit sleeping with the cougars (which wasn't a total lie, he only stopped sleeping with half) but figured in the end it would be better is she didn't know about them.

He finally had enough and cornered Mercedes. If Kurt didn't have any good advice, maybe Mercedes would.

"I need help. I asked Kurt, but his advice didn't work," Puck asked Mercedes at her locker.

"With what?" Mercedes asked, looking kinda bored.

"With Rachel. I want to be part of Quinn's life, but because she is living at Rachel's now, I can't even talk to Quinn with out having Rachel telling me to leave."

"Well, I think you should just respect Quinn's decision to raise this baby by herself. If she wanted you she would have told you. I don't like what Rachel did when she told Finn, but I now realize he would have found out. You messed this thing up, now you have to deal with it."

"Mercedes, this is not helping me."

"Sorry, but I am with Rachel on this one. Leave Quinn alone," Mercedes said as she turned around and walked away, leaving Puck more frustrated than before.

Later that day at lunch, Puck managed to get in line behind Artie. He hoped Artie could help him, since Artie was a guy and would know where Puck was coming from.

"Puck, I realize that you want to be in Quinn's life because of the baby, but Rachel and Quinn both have a point they are trying to get across. You just need to accept it."

"Artie, not you too. I thought you at least would stick up for me with this thing. I am trying to take responsibility and all you are doing is judging me on what happened in the past. It's like no one wants be to succeed at anything.""Puck, it's not that, it's just that we all agree that Quinn has been through too much these past few months and right now what is best for her is to figure out what she wants to do. All of glee talked and no matter who you go to, they will tell you the same thing. I'm sorry, but you will have to accept it."

With that said, Artie rolled away from Puck and went to the glee table. Puck was still standing in line, feeling defeated. He couldn't be in his daughter's life, he lost his best friend due to a stupid mistake and now no one in glee would give him a chance. He thought of all the people in the school, the glee kids would be the ones to at least hear him out. Instead, they are the ones blocking him from even getting to know his kid. Puck didn't know how much more he could handle.

"I don't know how much more I can handle," Quinn said. It had been a week since Artie talked to Puck and Puck has since then backed off. He still gave her looks of longing and she knew he still wanted to be in her life, but the looks were getting to her. Some days she just wanted to wrap her arms around him and never let go.

Quinn and Rachel were sitting in Quinn's room doing homework. It became a sort of ritual for them. They would go to either Quinn's room or Rachel's and do homework until dinner. Then, they would eat, watch some TV. or a movie and go to bed. Quinn felt like she had a friend, Rachel felt like she had a sister.

"Quinn, you told Puck you don't want him to interfere with whatever you chose for your daughter. You know I will respect your wishes, but right now I think you should make him suffer a little bit longer. He needs to know that he can't just expect you to make a place in your life for him just because you two made a mistake one night. Now, I don't think my niece is a mistake, so don't get me wrong, but he needs to understand that you have feelings and thoughts that need to be respected."

"I guess you're right, but he just looks so sad all the time. He is going back to skipping class again and he told Mr. Schue the other day that he didn't want any solos anymore. I just feel like he doesn't care and is giving up on everything."

Rachel didn't comment on that, as she didn't know what to say in this case. Some days she thought maybe she should have given Puck a chance when he asked for one, but then she would remember what Quinn looked like after Finn found out. Puck deserves everything he has coming to him.

"Girls, dinner is done." David called up from the stairs. The two girls made their way down to the dinner table and stopped short when they saw the last person they ever expected at the table.
