Firstly thank you for all the reviews on this so far - and glad that people seem to be enjoying this.
I did plan to update this yesterday, but the fanfiction site was being a pain and I couldn't access my account.
Some people have guessed that this is a Puckleberry story, and there answer would be correct in that guessing - of course I can guarentee that it won't be all smooth sailing to begin with or that they will even end up together.
The same with Blaine and Mikki - that won't be smooth sailing either.
As for the other two - well ?! :)
Let's just say as a writer, I love creating conflict - I'm not much for the writing of complete and utter sap all the time, got to have a little drama and intrigue in there.
Unfortuanley I can't put all the areas as to which the story would fall - and there will be some angst and hurt in some chapters, but I will warn if there is anything that could potentially upset people (as with all my stories).
However enjoy this next chapter - this has a little more Tina in it, who apart from being referred to as the asian female, we haven't seen or really heard much of.
And in a few chapters I promise that there will be a very good Puckleberry scene, when we do find out what actually happened between them, and how Annie thus came about!
Also please check out my other new story on here titled "Sparrow wishes to Fly" which is the kind of sequel to "Baby, it's cold outside" - that and also there is a list of all my Glee stories (even the unpublished ones) listed now on my profile and hopefully soon I will be able to bring those to you as well!
Enjoy, and please review, fave or follow if you haven't done so already!

Chapter 3 – Reinforcements
Mikki got back to the apartment that she shared with Tina Cohen-Chang, the two of them having met when they were in college, and after forging what was definitely a best friendship, the two of them decided to after graduating move into an apartment together in New York City.
And it worked well for them, both having well paying jobs, Mikki working as a paralegal and Tina as an elementary school teacher, meant they were able to live a pretty comfortable life in their chosen city.
Mikki opened the door to their apartment and walked inside.
Tina was sitting at the kitchen table of their open plan apartment with a bowl of cereal and reading one of the daily papers on her tablet.
"Wow, not even trying to sneak in early now doing the obvious walk of shame" said Tina, with a laugh when she saw her friend.
"It's not like you didn't have any clue as to what I was doing" said Mikki, with a laugh, going into their tiny kitchen and grabbing a bowl and then sitting at the table and grabbing some cereal herself.
"Oh don't worry, Mike and Puck also had a pretty good idea what you were doing as well" said Tina.
"Yeah" replied Mikki.
"In fact Puck wanted to go and record it and then put it up on a porn site" said Tina.
Mikki looked at her. "Please tell me that he didn't do that".
"Nope, well not when I was there at least. But he could have afterwards, and it depends on how long you and Blaine were going at it, if he managed to get anything" said Tina.
."If he did do something like that, I think Blaine would probably kill him even more than he already wants too" said Mikki.
"Why does Blaine want to kill him. Mike and Puck threw him a pretty awesome birthday party" said Tina.
Mikki looked at her as she chewed. "And I'm sure he really loved at least one of the presents that was there" said Tina, with a laugh.
"Okay Blaine and I we aren't together, we just hook up occasionally and have some fun" said Mikki.
"Uh huh" replied Tina.
"Okay don't uh huh me, I know that tone" said Mikki.
Tina laughed. "Yeah, well it's just that you and Blaine seemed to be really enjoying each others company last night, that's all I'm saying".
"I was incredibly drunk last night that's why. I loathe Blaine Anderson and this morning he proved exactly why he is an incredible douchebag" said Mikki.
"And he's a douchebag why exactly?" asked Tina.
Mikki sighed. "I was trying to leave, he's trying to get me to stay, talking about cooking me breakfast and all that" said Mikki.
"Awwww" replied Tina.
"No not awww" said Mikki.
"And what do you have against cute guys offering to cook you breakfast?" asked Tina.
"Nothing, it's just Blaine and I, not together" said Mikki.
Tina just looked at her friend. "Anyway, I'm trying to leave and I open the front door and that's when we saw her" said Mikki.
"Saw who?" asked Tina.
"Annie" said Mikki.
"Annie" replied Tina.
Mikki nodded. "Okay, please don't tell me this was some other girl who is Blaine's girlfriend, or maybe even wife and she saw you leaving his place and..."
Mikki stopped her friend. "Teens, ease off the crazy train there" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"Not another woman then" said Tina.
Mikki shook her head. "Well she will be one day, like in a really long time, but no" said Mikki.
"Who's Annie then?" asked Tina.
"A little baby that was left out the front of the guys apartment" said Mikki.
"Baby" said Tina.
Mikki nodded. "Whose baby?" asked Tina.
"Noah Puckerman's it seems" said Mikki.
"Really?" asked Tina.
"Yep, turns out about a year ago he got some girl called Rachel Berry pregnant, she had the baby, but apparently can't raise it on her own, and now more so since she has the lead in the new Funny Girl movie that they are making in London, so she decided to leave the little girl in Puck's capable hands" said Mikki.
"Wow, and Puck just left for LA this morning. He's gone for two weeks" said Tina.
Mikki nodded. "Yep and hence why Blaine wants to kill him" said Mikki.
"And where's the baby now?" asked Tina.
"Around the guys place still" said Mikki.
"You left them with a baby?" asked Tina.
Mikki looked at her. "Those guys wouldn't have a clue how to look after a baby" said Tina.
"Oh believe me I am fully aware of that. But I needed to come home, have a shower and change clothes. I plan to go back around in a little while and try and figure out with them what to possibly do" said Mikki.
"I'll come with you then" said Tina.
"Teens, it's fine. You don't have to do that, I'm only going back because I was there when we found her" said Mikki.
"I don't mind really. And besides a big chunk of my degree was the focus on children and babies, so maybe I can give the guys a few tips" said Tina.
Mikki laughed. "They're going to need more than a few tips that's for sure" said Mikki.
And the two of them finished off their breakfast before Mikki headed off for her shower.

A little while later, Mikki was in the shower when her cell phone started to ring.
Tina looked towards her friend's bag upon hearing the ring and walked over to it, grabbing out the cell. She looked at the caller id to see that it said Mike Chang calling and answered it.
"Hi Mike" she upon accepting the call.
"Mikki?" asked Mike,as he tryed to get a crying Annie to stop.
"No, it's Tina. Mikki is just in the shower" replied Tina.
"Oh umm she said to ring if there were any problems" said Mike.
"With Annie?" asked Tina.
"Yeah, she told you huh" said Mike.
"She did" replied Tina. "Anything I can help you with?".
"Umm maybe I don't know. Annie started to cry about twenty minutes ago, and I can't seem to figure out why" said Mike.
"She doesn't need a diaper change?" asked Tina.
"Not from what I can see or smell" said Mike.
"Umm maybe she's tired, is she rubbing at her eyes, that would indicate that" said Tina.
"No, she's just like crying a lot, and it's pissing off Blaine even more then he already is" said Mike.
"Maybe she's hungry then, that could also be why she's crying" said Tina.
"So I need to feed her then" said Mike.
"Generally what happens when someone is hungry they will eat" replied Tina, with a laugh.
"Umm okay, yeah. What do I feed her then?" asked Mike.
"Well baby formula or food maybe if she's older enough" said Tina.
"Not sure how old she is, so wouldn't know what to feed her" said Mike.
"There's left over pizza, give the little brat that" said Blaine, louder enough for Tina to hear.
"Don't give her pizza, no. Tell Blaine to shut the hell up" said Tina. Mike laughed.
"Tina said no pizza and to shut the hell up" said Mike, looking at his roommate.
"Well tell Tina, to maybe get Mikki to come back around here and help, or maybe even herself, because we clearly have no clue as to what to do here" said Blaine.
"Yeah, that's quite obvious" said Tina.
"Umm, there is a little container in Annie's bag here and it got a white powder in it" said Mike, obviously having gone through the girl's bag.
"That better not be drugs" said Blaine.
"It's not drugs, it's got to be formula, so milk for Annie. Which is also for her a feed" said Tina.
"So give her that then" said Mike.
"Uh huh, is there a bottle in the bag also" said Tina.
"Ummm" said Mike, as he went through the bag moving aside spare clothes and the few diapers that they had.
"Yeah is" he replied, grabbing a bottle out of the bag.
"Okay, good. You need to put some of the formula into the bottle, add water and then heat it up a little and give it to Annie" said Tina.
"And how do we do that?" asked Mike.
"The formula is a container right that each has a certain amount in it?" asked Tina.
"Yeah looks about even in like five sections of this container" said Mike, looking at it.
"Okay, well one section is enough for one bottle, so put that in the bottle and then add the water, give it a bit of a shake, with the lids on, and then take off the lid and put the bottle in the microwave for about 30 seconds on a medium heat" said Tina.
"Okay, yeah I can do that" said Mike.
"Good, Mikki and I will be around really soon okay" said Tina.
"Yeah thanks Tina, can you just stay on the line for moment?" asked Mike.
"Sure" replied Tina.
"Here Anderson, take her will you" said Mike, obviously handing him the baby, so that he could prepare the formula.
Blaine looked at the baby in horror. "I don't want her" said Blaine.
"It's for like a couple of minutes tops, just to I prepare this" said Mike.
"Give him the phone" said Tina.
"Okay" replied Mike. "Tina wants to talk to you" said Mike, handing his phone to his friend and walking into the kitchen
"Blaine" said Tina.
"Yeah what?" asked Blaine.
"I'm guessing you hate kids" said Tina.
"Yes, they can't do anything for themselves, and that is just really annoying" said Blaine.
"Hey Blainers, ask Tina how much do I feel this bottle up, all the way or half way, what?" asked Mike, coming back in the kitchen.
"Enough so that the formula is liquid and not to thick or not too diluted" said Tina, having heard his question.
"Huh?" asked Blaine.
"Oh my god, men are seriously hopeless" said Tina.
"She said so the formula isn't too thick or diluted, and that men are seriously hopeless" said Blaine.
"Well that doesn't really answer my question" said Mike.
Tina sighed, rubbing her forehead feeling a headache coming on. "Okay, how much does the bottle hold?" she asked.
"Tina asked how much does the bottle hold?" asked Blaine.
"Umm, 4oz" replied Mike, looking at the measurements on the side.
"Okay, small sized bottle, so I would say fill it up to the top marked measurement and see how that goes" said Tina.
"Umm small size bottle, fill to top measurement" said Blaine.
"Okay and still 30 seconds in microwave" said Mike.
"30 seconds microwave?" asked Blaine.
"That size bottle make it 20, so it doesn't become too hot" replied Tina.
"Tina said make it 20 seconds instead" said Blaine looking at his roommate.
"Cool, be right back hopefully" said Mike and walked back to the kitchen.
"Blaine?" asked Tina. "Yeah?" he replied.
"You still do have Annie don't you?" asked Tina.
"Yeah I'm still holding her" said Blaine.
"Huh, it's just that she stopped the crying" said Tina.
"Oh yeah she has" replied Blaine, looking at the baby that he was still holding.
"Is she asleep?" asked Tina.
"Nope, she's just giving me this really weird look" said Blaine.
"Weird look?" asked Tina.
"Yeah, likes she fascinated with me" replied Blaine.
Tina laughed. "Maybe you have a way with children after all Anderson" said Tina.
"Anderson a way with children?" asked Mikki, coming into the living area and seeing Tina on the phone.
"Yeah hi, you're phone rang and I answered it" said Tina, looking at her roommate.
"Thanks" replied Mikki. Tina nodded.
"Blaine?" asked Mikki.
"Well Mike and Blaine, Annie wouldn't stop crying, so I suggested maybe they feed her and well it seems the one who seemingly despises children has gotten Annie to quieten down" said Tina.
"Huh, go figure" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"Is that Mikki?" asked Blaine.
"Uh huh" replied Tina.
"Okay, please tell me that the two of you will be here soon" said Blaine.
Tina laughed. "Your boyfriend wants to know when you'll be back to help him look after the baby?" asked Tina, with a smile at her friend.
Mikki glared at her and grabbed her cell phone from her best friend. "After I murder Tina Cohen-Chang for making such a horrid remark, I will be there" said Mikki.
"Okay yeah awesome, thanks" replied Blaine.
Mike ventured back into the living room from the kitchen with now the warmed bottle of milk. "How are we meant to do this?" asked Mike.
"I have no clue" said Blaine.
"Hmm, ask Tina then" said Mike.
"Actually it's Mikki now" replied Blaine.
"Okay well ask her then" said Mike.
"Umm, how are we meant to feed this kid" said Blaine.
"Hey you got her to stop crying" said Mike, finally realising that Annie was no longer screaming.
"Uhh yeah she just stopped" replied Blaine. Mikki laughed as she listened to the two guys on the other end, seemingly getting hang of things just a little bit.
"Okay to feed her, you need to cradle her in one arm, supporting the head whilst doing so, and then with the other hand give her the bottle" said Mikki.
"Okay" replied Blaine, and went to hand the baby back to Mike.
"Whoa, what you doing?" asked Mike.
"You're going to give her the bottle right" said Blaine.
Mike looked at him. "Hey you're the one who got the kid to stop crying, so I think you should do this" he said, holding the bottle out to Blaine.
"Okay, but if this kid even so much as spits up on me, I am going to be killing you along with Puckerman" said Blaine handing Mike the phone and readjusting Annie in his arms, so that he was cradling her and supporting her head.
"Ohhh so cute" said Mike, with a laugh as he handed Blaine the bottle of milk.
Blaine glared at him and held the bottle to Annie. "Here kid, drink this" he said.
Annie looked at him for a moment and then took the bottle teat in her mouth and started to drink.
"Wow, that's actually working" said Mike, to Mikki on the other end of the phone.
"Cool, well if you guys have got everything under control then, guess you don't have any need for me" said Mikki.
"No, no. You have to come back" replied Mike.
Mikki laughed. "Kidding, I'll be there in a little bit okay. Teens too" replied Mikki.
"Okay awesome, thanks. I'll let you go now" said Mike.
"Yeah see you soon" said Mikki. "Sure, thanks" replied Mike and ended the phone call.
"So you want to head over to the guys place now then" said Tina, looking at her friend.
Mikki looked at her and nodded. "Yeah and the sooner we get a hold of Puckerman the better" replied Mikki.
"Yeah" replied Tina and the two of them headed back to the guy's apartment.
