Something That Happened 9
Their daughter starts preschool when they're about 21 and of course all the other parents look at them oddly. This isn't new to them—been happening for 4 years.
But when their daughter makes a new friend and she begins to ask why her mommy and daddy don't live together like her friend's mommy and daddy do, they really begin to understand just how different she will grow up with the life they lead now.
They're scared to go back to what they had before. They've been happy for the last year and a half—happier than either of them can ever remember being. They know that their daughter is missing out and is going to start asking more and more questions. What they don't know, however, is whether they can deal with living together again.
(Money and time management are better now since he got promoted to manager at the grocery store and only has to work one job, but they don't know if those are the only issues between them.)
After weeks of contemplating, they finally decide that moving back in together is what's best for their daughter. The little girl is ecstatic.
They soon find that this situation isn't as bad as it used to be. It's not as stressful this time around and they can actually continue to have sex, and unlike before, it isn't just intensity and heat, but rather something verging on love.
They're both pretty sure this is the first time they've truly felt this before.
They're happier—even happier than when they were sleeping together but not living together.
Their daughter seems to notice their genuine smiles.
They really feel like a family now.
She notices that her breath hitches when she sees him, something it has never done before, and she wonders if maybe this is true love.
He realizes that he's come to live for her smile, and if it isn't present, he isn't happy.
Love has never been something that Puck and Quinn have particularly had any understanding about, but now they think that they might finally have some.
