Puck had made a good effort at a nice Christmas for Quinn. He flexed his impressive cooking skills by making roast beef with all the trimmings and had set up a small artificial tree in the living room complete with presents. They felt even closer after what happened on Christmas Eve. They spent the next few days the way they had spent the rest of the break to this point; snuggling on the couch and watching movies; Puck left the house only to get groceries, and again, to get the Rocky Road ice cream Quinn wanted.

Soon came the day that Susan and Sarah would be returning, with Susan's parents, Puck's grandparents, in tow. Quinn felt incredibly nervous to meet them, despite Puck's reassurances. She couldn't help but feel like they must hate her, the girl who was making their teenage grandson a father, and who was now living and sharing a bed with him. She stood in front of the mirror checking over her outfit, a navy dress with a white cardigan, which did a relatively good job of hiding her four month bump.

Puck walked up and stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and putting his hands on her belly. "Hey gorgeous, they'll be here soon. Ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Quinn turned and kissed him. "Do you know what your mom has said to them?"

"Well, I'm not actually sure what my mom's told them. She wanted me to tell them myself. Probably so their instant dismay was directed at me, instead of you know, them being upset at her and getting over it by the time they get to me,"

"Fabulous," Quinn frowned. "So they probably don't know about our situation. What are you going to do?"

"I hadn't really planned ahead. I guess I can introduce you and we can tell them,"

"Hah, you mean you'll tell them and then introduce me. Then you can take me to the mall if they're mad and we have to escape,"

"I guess that's a plan," Puck shrugged. "But really Q, they're going to love you and they'll be okay with everything,"

"Damn right it is," she kissed him and sat at Puck's, their, desk and logged into Facebook.

20 minutes later and Puck was playing Super Mario when he heard cars pull into the driveway. The door swung open and he heard his mom call "Hello? Anyone home?"

He quickly paused the game. "In here Ma!" he hollered back.

Susan came into the living room. "Noah dear, could you help your grandpa with the luggage?"

"Sure thing," He headed towards the door but turned back. "Oh! Ma, what have you told them?"

"Nothing. This is your responsibility Noah; part of growing up,"

He gave her a hug. "I'll talk to them" As he went out the door, Sarah barreled in. "Hi kid,"

"Hi Noah," she said as she ran past him.

Puck went to the driveway to find his grandmother and grandfather taking bags from the car. "I've got those," he said.

"Noah Isaiah! It's been so long, where have you been keeping yourself?" Judith, his grandmother scolded him as she reached up to take his face in her hands.

"I've had a lot going on, but I'll tell you all about it when we get in,"

He and his grandfather hugged and Puck took their luggage in. When he was done, he found Susan, Sarah and his grandparents in the living room.

"Noah, where's Quinn?" Sarah demanded. "I wanna show her something,"

"She's upstairs. Go on up,"

With that she hustled upstairs with her backpack. Puck turned to face his grandparents who looked puzzled at the exchange they had just witnessed.

"Who's Quinn, Noah?" Judith asked gently.

"I think this is my cue to leave," Susan offered a reassuring smile to her son as she left.

"What's going on Noah?" Abraham, his grandfather addressed him sternly.

Puck took a deep breath. "Bubbe, Zayde. Quinn is my girlfriend,"

"Oh Noah, that's lovely," Judith said.

"Yeah, I'm not finished though. I said I had a lot going on right?"

His grandparents nodded and exchanged looks.

"Well, she's living with us, because her parents threw her out, because she's pregnant, with my baby" he told them in a rush.

Puck felt the atmosphere in the room become overcast. No one uttered a sound what felt like hours, but was probably just moments. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Puck felt like he must be such a disappointment. His grandparents were always his greatest champions, despite all the stupid things he had done.

Finally his grandfather spoke. "Well, that isn't exactly what we hoped for you, until you were grown up anyway, but I'm sure you have heard enough grief from everyone else, so you won't get it from us." He coughed. "Are you happy Noah?"

Puck smiled contemplatively. "Yes I am. I really am. I love her. It isn't the ideal situation but it works for me,"

"If you are happy, we can be happy for you," Judith beckoned Puck forward and hugged him.

Abraham gave Puck a gruff handshake. "Now where are you hiding your girl? Are we going to get to meet her?"

"I'll go get her now. She made me tell you before she would come down,"

Puck found Sarah in his room showing Quinn the iPod their grandparents had given her. "Can I talk to Quinn now Sarah, alone?"

"Fine," Sarah ran downstairs.

"So did you talk to your grandparents?" Quinn asked.

Puck nodded. "I told them,"

Quinn touched her bump affectionately. "About both of us?"

"I did," He kissed her on the lips. "Now come on, they want to meet you,"

They went downstairs and Sarah squealed. "Quinn! Quinn! Come meet Bubbe and Zayde,"

Quinn still looked a little unsure. She reached at her neck to make sure she removed her cross, just in case. In the living room she saw an elderly couple who smiled warmly at her and Puck as they entered.

"You've got yourself a pretty one," Abraham remarked.

Judith hustled over to them and gave Quinn a hug much to the girl's surprise. "It's lovely to meet you dear," she squeezed Quinn's arm reassuringly.

"Thank you, it's good to meet you too. Puck's told me about you,"

"Told Quinn about us, but didn't let us know about her?" Judith winked. "For shame, Noah, we would have loved to have come up for Thanksgiving to meet her,"

"It's been complicated Bubbe,"

Quinn interjected. "It's not Noah's fault, things were a little difficult, but it was my fault,"

"But we have everything sorted now," Puck added quickly.

Puck and Quinn sat on the recliner, facing his grandparents.

"So, although we're too young to be great-grandparents, we want you to know that you have our love and support," Abraham told them.

"Have you decided what you're going to do about the baby," Judith asked.

Quinn looked at Puck and her lips puckered in uncertainty.

"Uh, no. Not yet," Puck decided to spare them the truth, because in his heart he still held hope that Quinn would change her mind.

"Ah well, there's still time," Judith reassured. "Just keep us in the loop,"

Soon the day came for Puck's grandparents to return home. Quinn was surprised to find that she was a little sad to say goodbye. She had found them to be a calming presence in the home although she hadn't really spent any time with them without Puck or Sarah around.

Quinn and Puck went outside, by the car, to say their goodbyes. "Now, if you kids ever need anything, we're just a phone call away. If you need to get away for awhile, our door is always open," Judith told them. She hugged Quinn before giving Puck a squeeze and said into his ear, "Take good care of her, and my great-granddaughter. Quinn is a very special girl,"

They waved as the car backed out of the driveway and drove out of sight. "It's weird, I'm kinda sad to see them go, but before I wasn't looking forward to them coming," Quinn leaned her head on Puck's shoulder.

"Didn't I say they'd love you? And that they'd understand?" Puck asked her.

Quinn sighed, "You did."

"That's 'cause I'm always right," Puck smirked.

"Hey babe, Matt just invited me over to hang with him and Mike, is that okay?"

Quinn looked up from her book, "Yeah sure, have fun."

"I'll be back around 9," Puck kissed her goodbye and rubbed her bump before leaving. When he got to Matt's, he went straight in and down to the basement. It had been routine, going to Matt's and hanging out with the guys, but he hadn't done it in months, placing his focus on Quinn and the baby. "Hey," he greeted the guys.

Matt and Mike were on the floor, with game controllers in hand. They looked up and nodded their heads in greeting. "Grab a controller and join us," Mike told him.

Puck joined them on the floor, "Is anyone else coming?"

"Don't think so," Mike answered.

"I texted Finn, and he said he might come," Matt told them. Puck's heart sank at this. "Sorry man, I forgot. I hope it won't be too weird,"

Puck cleared his throat, "Nah man. He's the one with a problem, not me."

"Okay cool, he may not show up anyway," Matt returned his focus to the television screen.

The boys played the game, mostly in silence, save for a few muttered obscenities when the game wasn't going their way. Half an hour after Puck arrived, they heard some heavy footsteps coming down the stairs. Puck felt dread as he waited for the door to swing open.

Moments later, Finn walked in, he looked in Puck's direction and grunted "Hi," to the boys.

He picked up the fourth controller and sat on the other side of Mike and Matt, far away from Puck. Finn was clearly uncomfortable, "and being none too subtle about it," Puck thought.

"I'm gonna go get drinks and food, who wants a beer?" Matt paused the game and got up.

Mike followed him, "I'll help you,"

"No beer thanks, I'll take a soda though," Puck answered.

"Really man? Of all people, I wouldn't expect you to turn down a drink," Matt questioned him.

Puck shrugged, "I've got other priorities,"

Matt and Mike nodded, they knew he was talking about Quinn and the baby, and cast a glance at Finn to see his reaction. Finn's jaw tensed up, and he and Puck were left alone. They sat in silence for several moments before Puck decided to confront Finn, "Are you ever going to forgive Quinn? You can stay mad at me, I can handle it, but Quinn has enough on her plate and doesn't need the additional stress of knowing you hate her," Finn remained silent so Puck continued on, "She's sorry, you know. About everything she did to you,"

"Is she happy?" Finn asked suddenly, "And, the…the…the baby," he struggled, "is it okay?"

"They're both fine. And I think she's happy, considering."

Finn nodded, "If you want, you can tell her I'm not mad at her anymore, if it'll make her feel better,"

"Thanks," Puck responded as Mike and Matt returned. They played for awhile longer. At 8, Puck excused himself and headed home. He realized, while they sat in that basement silently, fixated on the game, that there were other places he would rather be, other people he would rather be with.

When he got home, he encountered his mother, "Would you like something to eat?" she offered.

"No thanks, Quinn upstairs?"

"She said she was tired and was going to bed," Susan responded.

Puck entered the room he shared with Quinn and as expected, found her curled up on her side, under the covers. He stripped off his clothes and pulled on a pair of pyjama pants before joining her in bed. Moving close, he put an arm around his sleeping girlfriend and felt her body relax into his.

"Hi," Quinn said sleepily. "What time is it?"

"About 8:30,"

"You're home early," she yawned and snuggled into Puck's chest.

Puck gently ran his hand through her silky hair, "Finn was there," he stated.

"Is that why you left?"

"No, I came home because I wanted to do exactly this,"

Quinn's eyes remained shut, but she smiled, "You're sweet, you know that?"

"Finn wanted me to tell you that he isn't mad at you, that he doesn't want you to concern yourself with that," Puck told her.

She yawned again, struggling to remain awake, "He talked to you?"

"Yeah, just to ask about you," When he heard nothing more than soft breathing, Puck realized that Quinn had fallen asleep again. He pulled the covers back and promptly fell asleep as well.
