Hey everyone! So I'm not sure if I explained this earlier or not but the reason I made Quinn's dad Logan's uncle, is because the same guy who plays Quinn's dad also plays Logan's dad, so I just had to do it, and congrats to those who caught onto that, you're very observant! I'm also hoping to wrap this story up within the next few chapters and there will be a prologue as well set a few years in the future, but let's just focus on this chapter for now! I hope you enjoy!

And as usual I do not own anything, except for the very few Glee things they sell in Canada…that's about the only reason I wish I lived in the States! Lol.

Chapter 9

The next day both Puck and Quinn were hard at work deciding what they would say to Luke and Lorelai that night, and they were so hard at work that they didn't even bother to eat much. So by the time dinner rolled around and they arrived at the Gilmore-Danes household, all they really wanted to do was eat, (especially Quinn). Luckily, Luke had dinner ready and Quinn smiled widely when she walked into the house and smelt bacon wafting from the kitchen.

"Hi Luke! It smells amazing, and thank you for the bacon!" She smiled and Luke just rolled his eyes, which meant that it was clearly not his idea to cook the bacon for them.

"Don't thank me, thank Lorelai, she begged me for the whole day to cook bacon for you she even held off se—" he started to say, but was interrupted by a hard jab in the arm by Lorelai, which he yelped in pain at.

"Not in front of company!" She laughed and playfully hit him. At this, Puck and Quinn looked at each other, and decided that they were both very happy with their decision, because the two seemed so happy together and they both knew that they'd only give their daughter the best they could.

"The food is almost ready, so if you want you can sit down", Lorelai said casually, but still eyeing Quinn suspiciously, as if saying "spit your big news out already woman!" Quinn just smiled back at the older woman and took a seat, followed closely by Puck.

"Not yet, we actually thought it would be better to discuss after dinner, since it's really not a dinner conversation", Quinn explained, while Puck just nodded in agreement.

"That's fine I guess, but that just means that you have to eat extremely fast like you're starving or you're Rush Limbaugh 'cause I hate waiting", Lorelai explained, receiving a laugh from the two teens and a roll of the eyes from Luke. Desperately wanting to change subject so that Lorelai would stop it with her crazy antics, Luke then piped in.

"Would you kids like something to drink?" Luke asked.

"You got any beer?" Puck answered back, and Luke and Lorelai just laughed. "I think he's saying he'll have a Coke", Quinn said, smiling at him and laughing. "And I'll just have water please, the baby doesn't seem to like much else these days", Quinn said while touching her stomach.

"How's she doing?" Luke asked while he handed the two teens their drinks and began loading food onto plates and placing them on the table.

"She's good, she's kicking a lot, sometimes she'll even wake me up, and she's growing a lot, so it's getting harder for me to walk without looking like a penguin, but I can tell she's happy", she said with a smile, and Puck smiled at this as well, even though they were both almost shitting themselves because they were so nervous about what they would discuss later that night. "Oooh! She actually just kicked!", Quinn exclaimed, which caused her to sit up more in her chair, and Puck quickly took her hand, thinking something else was wrong.

"Could I feel?" Lorelai said shyly, and of course Quinn had to agree, because after all, Lorelai could possibly end up being the mother of the child.

"Sure", Quinn said while Lorelai reached out her hand towards the younger girl's stomach. The second Lorelai put her hand on Quinn's stomach, the little girl inside it kicked which caused Lorelai to jump in surprise, but she then gasped and breathed out a "wow", while smiling a watery smile.

"She likes you", Quinn said with a small and watery smile on her face as well. Then, looking at the older woman's look of pure astonishment and longing for a life she didn't think she'd ever have, Quinn couldn't hold it in any longer or else she may burst into tears herself.

"That's why she should be yours", Quinn blurted out, causing everyone's eyebrows to hit their hairlines, (well for Puck it was more like where his hairline should be), and for the room to go completely silent. Of course it wasn't completely silent, because the plate that Luke was holding abruptly dropped to the floor and broke causing food to go everywhere and for Luke to whisper "shit"—but other than that, yes, completely silent.

"What?", Lorelai said, well more like breathed because she really couldn't think of anything else to say and she was too shocked for it to come out louder. As for Quinn, she couldn't really believe she just said that, and was still sitting there with her mouth hanging open, and at a complete loss for words. "Come on Quinn, you and Puck had a whole speech planned and now you can't talk! Just say it already!" She thought to herself. She then looked over at Puck, and as if he could read her mind, he just nodded at her, silently telling her to just get it over with.

"The baby should be yours", she repeated, finally finding the ability to speak again. "Me and Puck—we're just too young to raise a child, but we need to know that she—Beth, (cue a smile from Puck), will be with a family who loves her and will make sure she knows that everyday", she said, pausing to gather herself since tears were threatening to fall. "And the only way we can be sure of that, is if we give her to people we know—people who have helped us and cared for us, and people who need this baby". She was now openly crying, and out of the corner of her eye, saw that Puck was desperately trying to hold back tears as well, while muttering the words "badass", "cry", and "Puckzilla". She then looked up at Lorelai, and saw that she was also in tears, and then to Luke who seemed to be doing the same thing Puck was doing.

After a long silence that seemed like it lasted hours, Lorelai finally spoke up. "Are you sure?" She said in a small voice that was almost a whisper. All Quinn could do was nod and before she knew it, the younger woman was being hauled into a big hug, and both women were now crying their eyes out. "Thank you, so so much", Lorelai whispered to Quinn, still holding her close, and Quinn just smiled. "Well, let's eat!" Luke exclaimed and everyone laughed while sitting down.

The foursome decided they would discuss things after dinner, so once everyone was done eating, they all headed into the living room.

"So are you sure about this?" Lorelai asked once again once they were all sitting down in the room. "Yes. As much as we love her and want to keep her, we just can't", she said once again to the couple, and they just nodded in understanding. "When I found out I was pregnant, I wasn't ready, but I just loved her so much, I couldn't let her go. We don't want you two to regret doing this and we want her to know that her birth parents loved her very much once she gets older", she finished and the two teens forced smiles, knowing that they will not and cannot regret their decision. "Which is why, if it's okay with Luke, we would like to make it an open adoption, so that way you can see her whenever you want, even if and when you go back to Lima". The two teens looked at each other, both searching each other's faces for approval, before they both smiled and agreed with the older woman. "I do want to go back to Lima, at least until I finish school, but I'd love to come visit as much as I can", Quinn said and smiled, while Puck agreed as well. "Thank you, really you don't know how much this means to us", she said while embracing the two teens while still in tears.

"I'm happy to help Lorelai, after all, you've done so much for me these past few months, I'm actually really glad I came here".

"Are you saying you're glad that you ran away and scared me to death!" Puck said jokingly, while Quinn hit him in the arm.

"Of course not, but I think it would be a good idea to shut your mouth and be kind to the pregnant woman before she unleashes the wrath of her hormones on you", Quinn said, glaring at Puck who backed away cautiously, because he knew what she was like before she was pregnant, and it was ten times worse now and he did NOT want to test that.

"Fine geez, I'll back away woman!" Puck said, holding up his hands in mock surrender, while the two older people just laughed at the scene unfolding in front of them.

"Remember when we were like that?" Lorelai whispered to Luke.

"What do you mean "do I remember?" We're still like that!" He chuckled, wrapping an arm around his wife's waist and pulling her closer.

"Yeah, but you know you love it", she said smiling up at him.

"Okay you two, break it up! It's bedtime for you two children!" Lorelai said, playfully pointing a finger at the two of them.

"Geez, nice way to treat your guests and the woman who's giving you her baby!" Quinn said jokingly while sticking her tongue out at Lorelai who stuck hers out as well.

"That's how I treat all my guests, especially when they eat my food!" She joked back. "I'll see you in the morning though, bright and early so get some sleep!" She smiled back while leading the two teens to the door. Once Puck and Quinn left, Luke and Lorelai went back to the living room and collapsed on the couch.

"Did all of that really just happen?" She said, turning her head so she was facing Luke. Luke seemed to have the same disbelieving face as well.

"I think it did. We're gonna be parents—again!" Luke said, and at that moment, Lorelai basically threw herself at Luke and they both chuckled happily.

"Are you happy?" She asked him seriously, while lifting her head up from his chest.

"Of course I am. We finally get to have what we always wanted".

"You know, even before I asked you to marry me the first time, I knew I wanted a kid with you—I think I always wanted it", Lorelai said sincerely, staring into Luke's eyes.

"I did too, we were just too stupid to realize it. But we have our chance now, and I couldn't be happier", Luke said while he leaned closer to Lorelai and kissed her sweetly.

Later that night while in bed, Lorelai looked over at her husband sleeping peacefully, then over to the small pink outfit she bought for Beth to give to Quinn and was never happier in her life. Sure it took years and years to get to this point, but it was so worth it in the end.
