Beginning Our Life

Last Time: Puck and Sarah went to the doctor's where they found out they'll be having a boy. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

Harder Than I Thought

Sarah's Point of View

I sat next to Puck on the couch and brought my legs up across his own.

"Yes?" Puck asked with a smirk.

I shrugged, "Nothing."

Puck laughed softly and turned back to the tv.

I leaned back against the pillows and just stared at him as he drifted off into his own little world.

Puck broke the silence when he said, "I don't know about the names Joseph, Jacob, or John."

I blinked and noticed he was still staring at the tv, "What?"

Puck turned to me, "Months ago, we said that when we're older we'd want to name our sons Joseph, Jacob, or John; but I don't think I want to name them any of those."

I slowly nodded, "Yeah, they are kind of old and overused."

"Exactly," Puck ran a hand up my leg until it met the edge of my sundress, "Our kid needs a name that not everyone has. I don't want him to be called John P. in school or just be one of the millions of Jacobs."

"Do you have any new thoughts then?" I asked.

Puck shrugged, "I don't know," he mumbled.

I smirked and sat up, sliding closer to him, "Come on, tell me," I poked his arm.

Puck bit his lip and turned off the tv, "You probably won't like it."

"So what? Just tell me," I prodded with a grin.

Puck took a breath and looked me full in the face, "Ok, so I was thinking it might be cool if my son was named after me, like Noah Jr., and then we could call him Junior or NJ; which is kinda like MJ who was an icon."

I stared at Puck in amusement, "You cannot be serious."

Puck shrugged, "I don't see a problem with naming my son after me."

"No," I stated.

Puck sighed, "Why?"

I laughed, "Because! If we want him to be his own person, we can't give him his dad's name!"

"It's a good name," Puck muttered.

I bit my lip, knowing my next move was going to be low, but also probably my only chance at getting my way, "But your mom picked out your name...do you really want her picking out the name to your son as well? I mean...she hit you...do you really-"

"Ok!" Puck yelled and fell back in defeat against the couch, "We won't name him Noah Jr."

"Ok," I smiled, "Maybe we could make Noah his middle name though, if you really want."

Puck softened and slowly nodded, "Alright."

"We should write these down," I said, mostly to myself.

Puck pulled out his iPod, "Here, I'll just make a note or something."

I nodded and watched as he typed Middle Names: Noah onto his screen.

"You say one now," Puck pointed at me, "I don't feel like getting shot down again."

I laughed and racked my name for boy names. Coming up with none, I reached for the baby name book on the coffee table. Puck chuckled as I flipped to a random page and scanned it.

"Here's one," I looked up from the page, "Justin."

Puck's face scrunched up, "Justin? I don't know, you just literally pulled that out of your butt, you didn't even think about it."

I rolled my eyes, "Justin Puckerman. It kinda has a ring to it."

"Just-in," Puck slowly said, "It sounds like the opening of the action news."

"Fine," I grumbled and glanced back at the book, "You're turn."

"Hmmm, let's see," Puck sighed.

I looked up to practically see the wheels turning in his brain. I bit back a laugh and flipped the page of the book.

"Gimme that," Puck ripped the book from my hands.

"Hey!" I protested, "Give it back!" I reached forward to try and get back the book.

Puck held it above my head, "No, go get your laptop or something."

"Idiot," I grumbled while standing up.

I ignored Puck's laugh as I made my way to and from my room with my laptop. I settled back next to him, "Come up with anything?"

"Yeah, are you ready for this?" Puck asked with a smile.

I nodded, slightly scared as to what was to come.

"Ryder," Puck's smile widened.

"What?" I asked.

"Ryder," Puck grabbed my hand, "It sounds really cool. Ryder Puckerman, Badass. That'd be his title."

"No!" I hit the back of his head, "I refuse. Absolutely not!"

Puck dodged my hits, "What's wrong with it?"

I swung one last hit at his arm before sitting back, "Ryder? No. Especially no since you added that 'title'."

Puck smirked, "I think it sounded cool."

"Yeah, whatever," I rolled my eyes.

"Ok, ok, you win that one," Puck pinched my side, "But what about Bentley?"

I thought about it. Bentley was kind of nice. Cute. It sounded country, but I liked that.

I slowly nodded, "Ok, yeah, put that on the list."

"Really?" Puck smiled.

I smiled back, "Really. It's cute."

Puck stopped from typing it in his iPod, "Whoa, hold on there. It's what?"

"Cute," I repeated.

Puck shook his head, "Nope, now we're not using it."

"Why?" my smile fell with the question.

"Because boy names aren't supposed to be 'cute' they're supposed to be strong and...manly. Dog names can be cute and my son is not a dog," Puck stared at me.

I stared back before slowly starting to laugh, "Boy names have to be manly?"

Puck blushed and looked away, "Stop."

"No, no, come on," I scooted up on my knees and ran a hand over his short hair.

"Sarah," Puck muttered and pushed me away, "We're done."

I sat back in silence as Puck stood and quickly walked out the front door. What happened?

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I flipped my phone over and over in my hand as I sat on my bed. I kept going over the conversation in my head. Besides laughing that he thinks guy names should be manly, I don't think I insulted him. Maybe I was a little harsh about Rider, but really, that was it, I didn't think he'd get mad. Now I was starting to get angry, he just gets up and runs away when he gets upset. Seriously?

My phone started ringing and I glanced down, hoping it was Puck. I felt disappointed, yet intrigued when I saw Rachel's name staring up at me from the screen.

"Hello?" I asked into the speaker.

"Sarah? Is that you?" Rachel asked back.

I laughed, "Rach, technology hasn't changed and neither has my number since you left. What's up?"

Rachel let out a strangled laugh, "I'm so glad you answered! I was afraid you wouldn't!"

I blushed, "Rachel, I have missed you."

"Thanks, but I have a question for you," Rachel prompted.

"Shoot," I smiled, realizing I missed her more than I thought.

"Kurt tells me that you found out the sex of the baby and you didn't call me!" Rachel screamed.

I laughed, "Sorry, I didn't know you wanted me to."

"Sarah!" I winced and held the phone away from my ear, "Of course I'd want to know!"

"Ok, ok. We're having a boy," I automatically pulled the phone away.

"A boy! Sarah, that's amazing!" I could practically hear Rachel smiling, "What does Noah think? I bet he's excited that he's going to have a son."

I smiled at the thought, "Yes, he's excited...," I drifted off at the memory of earlier, "Well, I thought so."

"Uh oh, what happened?" Rachel asked softly.

I bit my lip, "Earlier, we were talking about names when all of the sudden he got sort of upset and just got up and left."

"Sarah, that's nothing," Rachel assured.

"I don't know, he seemed pretty mad," that feeling of guilt was returning.

"Did you say something wrong?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know, maybe," I sighed, "Rachel, he wanted to name our son Ryder Puckerman, Badass."

"And what'd you say?" Rachel sounded just as disgusted as I had.

"I told him absolutely not, he should come up with a different name," I said simply.

"Did he?" Rachel asked.

"Bentley," I answered with a smile.

"Awww, that's so cute," Rachel cooed.

"Puck didn't think so," I mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Rachel questioned.

I sighed, "He wanted the name until I said it was cute and that's sort of when he got mad and left."

"Noah is complicated," Rachel stated.

"Yeah, but-"

"You still love him."

"Yeah," I sighed while setting a hand on my growing stomach.

"So...what's up?" Rachel suddenly perkily asked.

I laughed, "Nothing much. How are you?"

Rachel took a deep breath, "Fine. I'm just fine."

I nodded, sensing she was lying, but just left it, "That's good."

"Hey, did you get my gift?" Rachel asked.

I shook my head then realized she couldn't see so I said, "No, what was it?"

"You'll just have to wait and see," Rachel giggled.

My door opened and Finn walked in, "Hey, have you seen-Oh," he stopped and stared at me, "You're on the phone."

I slowly nodded, "Yeah."

"Is that Finn?" Rachel whispered.

"No," I answered her.

"What? I see you talking on the phone right now," Finn pointed to my ear.

"No, um," I stared at Finn, "Just go away."

Finn raised his eyebrows, but left anyways, not before I could hear him mumble, "Freak," though.

"Sarah, was that Finn?" Rachel asked.

"No," I quickly answered.

"I think I know the voice of my ex-boyfriend, Sarah," Rachel stated with what I'm guessing was a roll of her eyes.

"Well, it wasn't," I shot back.

My door opened again, but this time Puck walked in. He strode over to me and immediately jumped on the bed so he could start kissing my jaw.

"Puck," I muttered and tried to push him off.

"No," Puck breathed and pushed me back, "I want you."

A strangled breath escaped my lips as my head hit the pillows, "Rachel, I have to go."

Puck quickly sat up, "Rachel?"

I tried to roll away as he reached out to grab the phone from me, "Puck, no."

"Sarah! Is that Noah?" Rachel's voice sounded in my ear, "He can't find out! He'll tell Finn!"

"Sars, give me the phone," Puck grunted and pinned my hands above my head.

I quickly hit end and threw the phone across the room, "There. Now you'll never know."

Puck rolled off the bed and crawled across the room to grab my phone, "Hello? Rachel? Is that you?" he asked into the speaker.

I sat up and watched as he stared in frustration at the phone, "Puck, give it up, they're gone."

"Exactly who's gone?" Puck came and sat next to me, "Sarah, was that my Hot Jewish American Princess?"

I rolled my eyes, "I don't like you calling Rachel that."

"So it was Rachel?" Puck moved so his breath was against my ear, "You know you can tell me anything."

I shivered at the feeling of his breath against me. My mouth gaped as I tried to fight the overwhelming feeling to just lean over and kiss him. I finally shook the feeling and turned so we were nose to nose, "If I can tell you anything, then you can tell me anything."

Puck blinked, "What are you getting at?"

I inched forward and lightly kissed the area next to his mouth, "Why'd you run out earlier?"

Puck grunted and pushed backwards, "I'm not telling you."

"Then I won't tell you who I was talking to," I sat back and crossed my arms.

We stared at each other for a good five minutes before Puck broke the tension.

"I can just look at your call log," he stated and reached forward.

My hand quickly shot out and stopped his from grabbing my phone, "Please, Noah."

Puck's hand paused and he slowly brought it back to his lap, "Nothing was wrong earlier," he muttered.

"Really? Because you looked pretty upset before you ran out," I said gently.

Puck bit his lip and stared at me, "I'll maybe tell you if you tell me who was on the phone."

I opened my mouth to protest before closing it and nodding, "Fine. I was talking to Rachel."

Puck blinked before scrambling to get from the bed, "We have to tell Finn."

"No!" I jumped on his back, "Stop!"

"What are you talking about?" Puck tried to shake me off, though I noticed he was being sort of gentle, "Finn's not joining the army anymore! Him and Rachel can be happy together! No more of this moping crap!"

"Stop Puck! You can't tell anyone! Rachel didn't want anyone to know!" I struggled to hold on as Puck continued trying to get me to let go.

Puck finally gave in and set me on the bed, turning himself around to glare at me, "You make no sense."

"And you just leaving your girlfriend in the middle of naming your child makes sense?" I glared back.

Puck was quiet and his whole body softened, "Stop."

"I told you my secret, now tell me your's," I tried to appear gentler, but the words still had a harsh edge to them.

"Naming a baby is just so hard," Puck admitted and sat next to me, "I didn't realize how much thought I'd have to put into it."

"But you named Beth," I pointed out.

Puck sighed, "Because I was looking up Kiss songs and that was one of them. I figured the words kind of fit and I actually really liked the name. What songs do you know that are centered around guy names?"

I stayed silent, knowing he was right.

"Well, you know, besides Christmas songs," Puck added as an afterthought, "With Santa and all. I don't think our son wants to be named Santa anyways."

I couldn't help but laugh at his words, "You're right."

Puck smiled at me, "Nothing was wrong earlier, I was just getting frustrated and needed to get some air."

My laugh faded and I nodded, "That's fine, you just scared me."

"I understand," Puck whispered.

"Why the sudden need to do me though?" I asked quietly.

Puck chuckled, "I wanted to apologize for earlier and figured that was the answer."

"Hmm," I bit back a smile and tilted my head, "Maybe you can go through with that deal."

Puck lunged forward and pushed me down against the mattress, "Don't worry, we'll figure this name thing out in the end."

"Stop talking," I whispered.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

A/N: Thanks for the name options! I already have chosen the name (if you'd like to know, it's said in the epilogue of Never Forgotten Past), but I could still use some more for them to talk about. I really need help with chapter ideas, please. I'm asking you guys, my friends, for help because I really need it right now. I have future chapters planned out, but unfortunately they take place like two months from now in the story and I don't really want to do a time jump. PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I really do appreciate and love every single one!

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Ace5492 - Thanks! And I do like the name Bentley, but not Ryder so much. Hope you don't mind that tiny name bashing.

raem9898 - Oh, no, if you need someone to talk to, I'm right here, just a PM away :) Thanks for liking the thing with Grace, I'm gonna have to use that for next chapter since I've run out of ideas for now. Do you have any name suggestions? I'd really appreciate them! Lol, I love baby stories as well.

Tyra - Thank you! And lol, I meant did you read the last story, Never Forgotten Past? I knew you read the last chapter since you reviewed. Thanks for the name idea. It took me a while before deciding what Sarah and Puck would think on the name. I hope it didn't make you mad when they decided no.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Sneak Peak: I blinked back tears and ran away as fast as I could. Why were boys so mean?

Ok, so next chapter deals more with Grace and everything she's going through right now. I hope you don't mind, I just ran out of ideas at the moment.
