Thank you everyone who reviewed the last chapter!

A lot of you have been waiting for a specific "moment" to happen in this story and I'm glad to say that it's in this chapter! I hope you all enjoy it!

I can't wait for Glee tomorrow night, FINALLY! 500 performances? That's crazy and I'm just so happy and proud of the cast, crew, choreographers, and anyone else involved. It's because of them that we have Glee and have reached a milestone that is 500 performances!


"Daddy!"

Puck slowly started to wake up when he heard Beth close to him. "Wake up Daddy! It's Christmas!" she said again.

He opened his eyes and saw his little girl on top of him. "You're finally awake!"

Puck chuckled, "Merry Christmas Beth."

"Merry Christmas Daddy, now let's go open presents!" she exclaimed jumping off the bed.

Puck stood up from the bed, "Is Quinn downstairs already?"

"Yep, we were waiting for you!"

Puck followed Beth out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Entering the living room, he noticed that the tree was lit and Quinn had started the fireplace. He noticed her sitting on the couch wearing a cream-colored sweater that was passed down to her from her mother. Smiling as she took a sip of what he knew was coffee.

"There you are," she said, placing the mug on the coffee table, "Merry Christmas."

He gave her a long kiss on the lips, "Merry Christmas babe."

"Can we pleeaassee open presents now?" Beth whined.

"Yes, yes, yes," Puck and Quinn said in unison.

Beth's face lit up with excitement, darting her eyes at the heap of presents under the tree. She ripped the presents open the only way a Puckerman could. Quinn had purchased Beth some outfits to save for spring. Puck had bought her an American Girl Doll that she had been chewing his ear off about for past few weeks. She also received an assortment of art supplies, movies, and other fun things an eight year old would enjoy.

Seeing that she had opened everything, holding her new doll in hand, Beth stood up from the floor and gave both Quinn and Puck a hug, "Thank you!"

"There's more," said Quinn.

"More?" Beth asked with wide eyes.

Quinn reached into her sweater pocket and pulled out a small velvet box and handed it to Beth. "I was a little hesitant at first when I thought about getting you this. But now, I'm sure that you will love it."

Beth took her eyes off Quinn and looked down at the box to open it. It was the locket that Quinn had purchased for her. "It's so pretty!" Beth said happily.

Puck and Quinn looked at each other and both of them smiled. "Is there a picture inside of it?" she asked.

"Open it and find out," said Quinn.

Beth took the locket out of the box and opened it. It was the picture that Judy gave to Beth, the one where Quinn was holding Beth after she was born. "I saw the picture on your side table," Quinn spoke up.

A smile grew on Beth's face when she saw the picture. Looking back up at Quinn, she wrapped her arms around Quinn to give her a hug. "Thank you so much! I love it!" Beth squealed.

"I'm glad you do," said Quinn. "Do you want me to put it on for you?"

The eight year old nodded anxiously as she lifted up her blonde curls so that Quinn could put the necklace on more easily. Once hooked, Beth let go of her hair and showed off the necklace proudly to Quinn and Puck.

"It's perfect," said Quinn.

"You did a good job picking it out Q."

Quinn smiled at him, "Thanks."

"And now for the grand finale," Puck joked before he left the living room.

"Where did he go?" Beth asked.

Quinn shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know."

A few moments later Puck came back into the living room with the puppy in his arms. Beth gasped and ran up to Puck, "A PUPPY!"

"Yep," Puck laughed at her reaction.

Beth turned to look at Quinn, "Is it for me?"

Quinn ruffled her blonde curls, "He's all yours."

"He?"

Puck nodded, "It's a boy."

Beth started to jump up and down, "Can I hold him?"

"Yeah, just be careful with him though," Puck said, handing the whimpering golden retriever to Beth.

Beth took the puppy in her arms, "He's so cute!"

"Any names in mind?" Quinn giggled, rubbing the puppy's head.

The little girl shook her head, "Not yet, this is a decision that takes time."

Both adults laughed at how serious she sounded, "Well you have some time to think about it."

"Thank you so much," said Beth, looking at both of them. "I love him so much!"

Quinn had cooked Christmas dinner for that night which Puck and Beth enjoyed. It was the happiest Quinn had felt in a long time, she was with the people she loved.

"This was the best first Christmas I ever had," said Beth with her puppy lying down on her lap.

Quinn was happy hearing that from Beth. The three of them were on the couch and they had just finished watching The Polar Express. Quinn had a ridiculous collection of Christmas movies from when she was a kid and The Polar Express was the most appealing to Beth.

The eight year old was seated in between her parents, still in her pajamas from that morning. It had been a tradition in Quinn's family that they would stay in their pajamas all Christmas day and she thought that she should instill that tradition for Beth.

Beth let out a loud yawn and Puck and Quinn looked at her. "Whoa, someone needs to get some sleep," said Puck.

"I don't want to go to bed yet."

Quinn looked at the clock on the wall, "Beth it's almost ten."

"So?"

"See, look!" said Puck, pointing to Beth's puppy who was fast asleep. "Even the puppy is asleep."

"That's because he's a baby," Beth explained, stroking the puppy's golden coat.

"Come on Beth, aren't you tired at all?" Quinn asked.

"Maybe just a little."

"Then let's get you to bed," said Quinn, making the first move by standing up from the couch. She carefully took the puppy from Beth so that she could say goodnight to Puck.

"Night Daddy, Merry Christmas again," she said, giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Puck chuckled, giving her a kiss on the cheek as well. "I love you Beth, Merry Christmas."

After brushing her teeth, Beth went into her room where Quinn was waiting for her. Beth got in bed and Quinn placed the now, wide awake, puppy on the bed. Beth had convinced Quinn that he should sleep with her that night, and she didn't argue.

Quinn made sure that Beth was tucked in, had Lulu, and that the puppy was with her. "There ya go," said Quinn.

"Thank you," said Beth.

"Goodnight Beth, Merry Christmas," said Quinn, making her way towards the door.

"Quinn wait!" said Beth.

She turned around, "What is it?"

"I just wanted to say that I'm happy that you're my real Mom."

Quinn walked back towards Beth with a small grin on her face, "Well I'm really glad that you're my daughter."

She sat on the edge of her daughter's bed and just looked at her, "Do you mind if I sing you something? It was something my mother did with my sister and I when we were little. Every night on Christmas day, she would sing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas right before we went to bed."

"Sure," Beth said sweetly.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light,
Next year all our troubles will be
out of sight,

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yule-tide gay
Next year all our troubles will be
miles away,

Quinn extended her arm towards Beth and pushed back strands of hair behind her ear. Beth had grown to love Quinn's motherly touch and had actually found it comforting.

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

"That was beautiful Mommy," Beth said softly.

Quinn was speechless from what she just heard. Did she really just call her…Mommy? Was she hearing clearly? Beth chuckled, seeing that Quinn wasn't saying anything, "Is it okay if I call you that now?"

"Y-yeah, it's more than okay."

Beth giggled as she leaned towards Quinn and giving her a hug, "I love you Mommy."

Quinn held her close, trying to hold back her tears. This was the moment that she had been waiting for and it was totally worth the wait. Beth was finally accepting Quinn as her mother or in this case, her mommy. "I love you too Beth, she said back, placing a kiss on Beth's forehead.

She stood up from the bed again, "Night Munchkin."

"Night," said Beth, wrapping one arm around her puppy and the other holding Lulu.

Quinn headed back into the living room. "What took you so long?" Puck asked, pointing the remote at the TV to find something to watch.

She sat down next to him on the couch, "Beth called me Mommy."

"She did?" Puck asked in an excited tone.

Quinn nodded, quickly wiping her tears away before they rolled down her cheeks, "Yeah she did. It was so casual and I wasn't even expecting it."

Puck pulled her close and kissed her temple, "That's great babe."

"That was the best Christmas present ever, just that."

"That's a shame," said Puck, pulling out a small velvet box of his own. "I guess you won't need this then."

Quinn reached out for it but Puck held it away from her, "Hey, hey, hey! You don't need this anymore!"

Quinn laughed, "Yes I do! May I please have it?"

"Yes you can," Puck finally gave in, handing her the small box. "Merry Christmas Quinn."

She opened the box to find the most gorgeous pair of earrings, "Oh Puck, they're beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like them."

She leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips. "Thank you, I love them," said Quinn before closing the box. "Now are you ready for your present?"

She stood up and went toward the closet by the front door. "It better be good Fabray!"

Quinn came back with a perfectly wrapped, rectangular box, with a red ribbon tied in the center to match. "Merry Christmas!"

"Finally!"

He untied the bow and tore up the wrapping paper. Lifting up the lid of the box he saw a brand new leather jacket, "How did you know I needed a new leather jacket?"

"Well you still have the same one from high school that barely fits anymore. I saw it the other day with your things and it was so worn down, so I got you a new one."

"Thanks babe, this is great."

"Oh and there's one more thing at the bottom," Quinn added.

Puck looked past the tissue paper and saw a book that was titled 101 Recipes that are Impossible to Mess Up. Puck laughed when he saw it and so did Quinn, "I know Beth loves your spaghetti but you need to learn to cook more. I can't make all the meals myself."

"Deal," he chuckled before kissing her again. It truly was the best Christmas any of them ever had.


I'm sorry if this chapter was shorter than the others but hey, Beth called Quinn her mommy! YAY!

I'm not sure what's going to happen in the next chapter...maybe something with Jenny and her mom and Puck and Quinn's first doctor's appointment? I don't know, we'll see!

Reviews keep me writing so PLEASE REVIEW! Thanks!
