- I'm going to continue ths as a series of random one shots, set at important times in Beth/Puck/Quinn's life. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see

"Go on, wake her up" Puck sat Beth on the bedside Quinn. "Go on, say wake up mama" He watched as Beth put her tiny hands on Quinn's chest and tried to push herself into a standing position. At almost 9 months old she was eager to be mobile, and frequently became frustrated because she hadn't yet mastered crawling. Puck smiled as Beth leant forward, placing sloppy kisses on Quinn's cheek. Quinn mumbled and reached out a hand to wipe the slobber from her cheek as she tried to roll over, Beth's weight on her chest stopping her. "Come on" Puck bent down to kiss Quinn, "time to wake up."

"Mmm. What time is it?" Quinn asked, not opening her eyes.

"Almost 10."

Quinn's eyes shot open, ""Why didn't you wake me?" she asked, moving Beth from her chest and sitting up in bed.

"Erm" Puck ran his hand over his head, "I thought I had just woken you up"

Quinn laughed, "Do I get my morning kiss?" Puck nodded and bent down to kiss Quinn softly, his hand resting on her cheek as her tongue battled his. They only pulled away when Beth began to shriek on the bed beside Quinn. "Do you want kisses too?" she asked, laying Beth on the bed and covering the young girl in kisses as she shrieked in laughter.

"Me and Beth made you breakfast" Puck laid a tray of food on Quinn's knee before he moved to sit on the bed, Beth in the middle of her parents chewing on a piece of toast Quinn had given her.

"Oh Beth" Quinn sighed, noticing her daughter had wiped mushy toast all over the bedding.

Puck laughed, "it's her present for you" he laughed.

Quinn rolled her eyes, "and where is your present for me?"

"Why should I have got you a present?"

"Pu-uck" Quinn elbowed him in the ribs, making Beth giggle. "It's my birthday."

Puck gasped and grabbed Beth, pulling her onto his lap, "It's mama's birthday" he said in mock shock, "why didn't you tell me?"

Quinn laughed as Beth clapped her hands onto his cheeks, covering him in mushed up toast in the process, "serves you right" she told him.

"Behave" Puck warned, "or I'll not give you hands on these" he sat Beth beside Quinn and reached under the bed, pulling out cards and presents from their friends and his family.

Quinn's face lit up "Pleeeeease" she pleaded, pouting and fluttering her eyelashes.

"How can I turn you down eh?" Puck grinned, kissing her quickly before passing her the gifts and the cards, "happy birthday babe"

Beth helped her mother tear through the layers of wrapping paper and the coloured envelopes, Quinn's smile growing with each birthday message she read, and each present she prise from Beth's dirty hands. There was a cd from Rachel, money from Puck's mother, a promise to baby sit so she and Puck could have some time on their own from Mercedes, clothes from Kurt, half of a forever friends necklace from Brittany, and a voucher for a massage at a local spa from Will and Emma amongst the piles of gifts. "From my mom" she told Puck, passing him a small slip of paper, his eyes almost bulging from his head as he realised it was a cheque for 500 dollars.

"Wow."

"Yeah" she sighed, "She's really trying to make up for what happened. I think I might ring her, see if we can meet up."

Puck nodded, "not today though" he told her, "today is your day." He reached under the bed, "this is from Beth, you'll get your present from me later."

"Will I now?" Quinn raised an eyebrow as she opened her presents from her now sleeping daughter. "Oh Puck" her eyes filled with tears as she unwrapped a silver picture frame engraved with the words 'nap time'. In which he'd placed the picture he'd taken of Quinn sleeping with Beth on her chest, after she'd looked after Beth for the first time. She placed it on her bedside table beside the 'me and my mummy' photo frame she'd been given for mother's day.

"Beth made you this too" he gave her a handmade card, the front covered in big splashes of various coloured paint. "We made it this morning" he explained, "we both had to have a bath afterwards" he laughed, "it's a good job you're a heavy sleeper."

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, Puck and Quinn just enjoying the time they spent together with their daughter, laughing as she had her first taste of birthday cake, getting more of it around her mouth than in it.

It was only after Beth had been cleaned up and settled in her own room that Puck decided it was time for him to give Quinn her present. "Happy birthday" he smiled, passing Quinn the large, but suspiciously light box before sitting beside her on the sofa, watching as she pulled out box after box, each one slightly smaller than the last.

"Did you even get me anything?" she asked.

Puck shrugged, "there's only one way to find out" he grinned.

Quinn gasped as she opened the second to last box, finding a small red velvet ring box. "Puck, what . . ."

"I love you Quinn" he slipped from the sofa to kneel in front of her. "And I know I don't usually do all this romantic shit, but I want to be with you, and Beth, forever. We don't have to get married like next week or anything, but y'know, in a few years or whatever, when you're ready."

"Puck" Quinn interrupted, "just ask me. Please"

"Quinn Fabray. Will you marry me?"

Quinn nodded and held out her hand, "yeah" she was lost for words as he pulled her into his arms after slipping the white gold and diamond ring onto her finger. "Who'd have thought?" she spoke eventually, "Behind all that badass-ness Noah Puckerman's just a big softie.

Puck laughed, "Noah Puckerman is the luckiest softie in the world" he told Quinn, both of them unable to believe that this time last year they were living separate lives, both of them preparing to give their beautiful daughter away. When Puck 'stole' Beth from the hospital, he had no idea that he'd end up living in an awesome flat, with two of the most beautiful girls in the world. He'd never imagined his life could be so good.
