A/N: I do not own Glee, I am simply writing about it. Hope you guys loved the last chapter! The song that Sam sang to Stella may not have fit perfectly, but its all I could come up with on spot. Plus I love Tim McGraw :) Oh & I apologize for the weird bolded/all-caps titles in between paragraphs, those just divide up each setting for the chapters. Hope you guys like this next chapter!

February 10th was one of the hardest days Quinn and Sam had ever faced, in all their lives. The few days before, and the days ahead were no better, but that day in particular was difficult. The twins were slowly improving, but not by much. Most of their friends and family had finally gone home after being completely on edge for two days straight, but emotions were still high for everyone. Sam was out in the waiting room, busy thinking about whether or not he should do something for Valentines day. He had no other girl friends to speak with about this subject. Quinn was the only girl he ever confided in about anything. There was the time in high school he dated Santana, but that was high school, and it had only lasted for so long. He figured Rachel was his best bet, and luckily she and Finn had come back to the hospital. Heck, he figured he might as well talk to both of them. He looked up to see the two of them walking over. 'What timing' he thought.

"How ya holdin' up?" Finn asked, as he and Rachel sat down on either side of Sam. Rachel put her hand on Sam's shoulder and gave him a warm smile. "Alright. Quinn is in with both of them right now. She doesn't want to be away unless absolutely necessary, which is understandable. But Valentines day is today, and I don't know if I should do something for Quinn or not. I just don't know if she'll be up for it." Sam was still struggling to hold himself together, for he knew his babies' lives were still hanging in the balance, but he wanted so badly to do something special for Quinn. She truly did deserve it after everything she'd gone through. "I think even something as simple as take out here at the hospital, and a nice arrangement of flowers would be plenty." Rachel said, rubbing Sam's back. "Yeah, Rachel's right. There's no need to go all out when you have bigger things to worry about." Finn said with a smile. "I mean if you do want to take Quinn out, Finn and I would be more than okay with keeping watch over the twins. I know neither of you wants to be away from them, but Quinn could use the distraction. She needs a night away from stress and worry." Rachel said. Sam looked up at her and smiled, nodding his head. "I guess I can just take her to a restaurant close by. That should be easy enough." Sam said, as Rachel and Finn nodded. Sam suddenly stood up, a huge smile coming across his face. "Im gonna go page Dr. Morrison and let her know you guys will be sitting in with the babies tonight, since they usually only allow family in the NICU. Finn, can you do me a favor and pick out a nice arrangement of flowers for me? There should be a shop somewhere in this hospital. And Rachel, can you run over to my house and grab one of my suits and a nice dress for Quinn? You have nice sense of style so it shouldn't be too hard. Thanks guys!" On that note, Sam took off down the hall in search of Quinn's doctor.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Rachel got to the door of the NICU, and could see Quinn fast asleep in a rocking chair, propped right in front of both Noah and Stella. She tip toed into the room, knowing if she was caught she would probably be a heap-load of trouble. She lightly tapped Quinn on the shoulder, and Quinn immediately stirred. "Rachel? What-" "Shhhhh. Come with me." Rachel said with a smile, taking Quinn's hand and leading her out of the room. They went into a nearby bathroom, as Rachel put a small duffel bag up on the sink. "Rachel, what's going on?" Quinn said, as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh my." Quinn was startled by what she saw. Her hair was still a mess, she hadn't worn make up for days, and she was still in her pink robe one of the nurses had given her just days ago. She then looked over to see Rachel quickly dial a number on her cell phone. "Mercedes, we're ready." Rachel said, hanging up the phone. Mercedes then appeared in the doorway, with a blowdryer and curling iron in one hand, and two brushes and a comb in the other. "What in the world is going on?" Quinn said, still extremely confused. "We cant tell you yet. Just don't worry about it." Rachel said, as she gently sat Quinn down on a stool that was nearby. Mercedes leaned Quinn's head back into the sink, and washed it quickly. She then blew it dry, and curled it with her curling iron. This was all done in less than twenty minutes. Then Rachel went to town on Quinn's make up, creating a beautiful evening glow. Mercedes handed Quinn the dress Rachel had picked out, and put her in a stall to change. She then came out, and for the first time saw her reflection. She was wearing a knee-length red dress, and was surprised it still fit her since she had just given birth.

The dress was fitted from the waist up, and the remainder of it was a flowy skirt. "Quinn, you look beautiful." Rachel said, smiling. "Mhmmmmm. Damn straight." Mercedes said, as she too smiled at her friend. Quinn was still speechless. She didnt know it was possible to look this beautiful after having given birth just 4 days ago. "Thank you guys so much…" She said, still taken a back. "Now then, lets go find that good-lookin' man of yours." Mercedes said, draping her arm through Quinn's and leading her out of the bathroom. She looked up suddenly, to see Sam standing there. He was dressed in a grey suit, holding a beautiful bouquet of orange and pink calla lillies and looking ruggedly handsome. Quinn steadied herself, feeling like she would faint at the sight before her. She slowly walked over to Sam, as Mercedes, Rachel and Finn watched. Quinn gently placed her arms on Sam's biceps, leaning in and kissing him passionately. "What's all this for?" She said breathlessly, pulling away from him. Sam smiled, taking his free hand and tucking a piece of her long blonde hair behind her ear. "Its Valentines Day, silly. You didnt think I would forget, did you?" He said with a smile, leaning in and kissing her again. The couple then turned to face their friends. "Thank you guys so much for agreeing to spend time with the babies. They need to spend time with our close friends anyway." Sam said, leaning over and shaking Finn's hand. "Why dont I take the flowers and put them in the middle of the babies? I bet they'd like that." Rachel said, taking the arrangement from Sam. "That would be great." Quinn said. "Ok well go on you crazy kids. Go enjoy yourselves. Noah and Stella are in good hands." Finn said, smiling at his friends.

After Sam and Quinn disappeared down the hallway, Mercedes said her goodbyes, and Finn and Rachel were off to the NICU. "Finn, Im nervous." Rachel said, grabbing his hand. "Don't be. You love babies." Finn said, smiling down at her. But upon entering the dark room and seeing everything inside, Finn's face fell. They made their way over to where Noah and Stella were, and Rachel carefully put the flower arrangement on the cart in between the two incubators. She sat down in the rocker she had found Quinn in, and did everything she could not to cry. Finn pressed his fingers against the glass of Stella's incubator, in such shock he didn't know what to do. "Why does she have a tube taped to her mouth?" he asked, not turning away. "She's on (sniff) a respirator. (sniff) She has an infection (sniff) in her lungs." Rachel sobbed, trying so hard to keep calm. Once again, Finn didn't know what to say. He knew Stella was born premature but had no idea what she was facing. "She still isn't strong enough to be held yet. The nurse was telling me she has to be able to breathe on her own before that happens." Rachel said, as Finn slowly sat down in the chair next to her. "That'll be soon, right?" he said, turning to face her. Rachel simply shrugged, a sad look still on her face. "All we can do is hope." She said, leaning over and taking hold of Finn's hand.

SAM & QUINN – DATE NIGHT

Sam couldn't get over how beautiful Quinn looked in her red dress. He just kept staring and staring, unable to pull away. At one point, Quinn caught him staring and smiled. "What?" she said softly. Sam smiled, leaning over and kissing her on the cheek. "You look beautiful." He said with a smile. They arrived at the small quaint restaurant down the street from the hospital, and quietly made there way to a table. "I hope Rachel and Finn are okay. Rachel looked really nervous when we left." Sam said, opening his menu to review what was on it. Quinn shrugged, wiping away a quick tear from her cheek. "What? Don't tell me you're sad." Sam said, giving Quinn a warm smile as he reached over and took her hand. "I mean they were only born days ago, and we're already away from them. Seems kinda odd, don't you think?" She said. "I mean if you didn't wanna come out tonight you shoulda said something. Otherwise, just do me a favor and enjoy yourself, alright? You really do deserve it." Sam said, smiling at Quinn in hopes of reassuring her.

Quinn gave him a small smile, while she silently went into thought. She was so grateful for everything Sam had done for her and put with up in the last few months. She had put him through so many things with the pregnancy, like mood swings, morning sickness, doctor's visits, and countless fights over silly things that they made up about later. One thing she would be forever grateful for was the work Sam and his mother had done on the nursery, and especially everything his mom had bought for them. And she would be lost without him during this new, but scary time in their lives. Yes, they were finally parents, but parents to premature twins, twins that were clinging to life. She knew she would be completely lost without Sam. Her thoughts were interrupted by food coming to their table. Sam had ordered them one large plate of spaghetti and meatballs, one of Quinn's favorite dishes. "Mmmm, this looks great." Quinn said with a smile. They immediately dug in, both very hungry. After at least twenty minutes, they managed to finish the entire dish, and were back in route to the hospital. "Sam, I cant thank you enough for tonight, and for everything you've ever done for me." Quinn said, taking hold of his hand and glancing at him. "You know I'd do anything for you Quinn. And we will get through this tough time together, and will grow old together and watch our children grow up together." Sam said, turning and kissing Quinn's forehead, as she smiled.

When they got back to the hospital, they immediately headed for the NICU. There they found Rachel and Finn, both fast asleep in front of Stella and Noah's incubators. The nurse saw them come in, and quietly walked over. "They haven't left here all night. Some great friends you have here." She said with a smile. Sam and Quinn smiled at her, and then smiled at each other. "Oh, great news. Your daughter has been taken off the respirator and is breathing on her own now, so she's making fantastic progress! Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days!" Quinn and Sam both heaved sighs of relief, as Quinn put her hand over her heart and leaned back into the crook of Sam's neck, as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. With all the excitement, both Finn and Rachel slowly woke up. "Oh. Hey guys, did you have a nice dinner?" Finn said, standing up. Quinn and Sam nodded, both beaming. Finn looked confused, as Rachel slowly stood up too. "They took Stella off the respirator." Sam said, still absolutely giddy with joy. "Oh. Well the must have done that while we were sleeping." Rachel said with a small giggle. "But that's fantastic!" she said, leaning over and engulfing Quinn in a hug. "Thank you so much again for sitting in with them tonight. We owe you guys big time." Quinn said, putting her hand on Finn's shoulder, as he smiled down at her. "It was no problem. It was nice finally getting to see the babies." He said. With that, they all exchanged hugs and Finn and Rachel left the room. Quinn turned and looked up at Sam, smiling at him and leaning in to kiss him. Sam returned by kissing her deeply, wrapping his arms around her waiste. "Happy Valentines Day, Quinny." "You too."

Yay for happy endings! Haha. More to come, hope you guys enjoyed! REVIEW!
