Party at Karofsky's place tonight… you in?

Meg Randall had had a crush on Noah Puckerman since she'd put on her Cheerios uniform for the first time. She'd gone down on him a few times too. She was also Santana Lopez's biggest annoyance. It wasn't any better now that she was texting him either. Bitches like her were the reason Santana every once and a while checked his phone even if she had no right to. They both understood her reasons for being so insecure when it came to him. He didn't complain about it anymore either.

"Yea, I know last time I checked it was a cheerio tradition last time I checked. …you going?"

They weren't anywhere near home but that didn't matter. it wasn't like the party would start till way into the early hours of the morning anyway. It'd been a very long time since Santana had gone to the football players and cheerios Halloween party. since she'd crashed it her eighth grade year to be exact. The thoughts of the party still made her shutter as he guessed where her thoughts were and put his hand on her back rubbing the scar through his football jersey that she'd put on before they'd left the house. He knew all too well how sensitive the subject of party scenes were for her. One of the many reasons her anxiety pills would forever be just as important as her allergy meds. Quiet for a moment, they both stood silent and watched his little sister, dressed up as Tinkerbell skip up to a door with her candy bag.

"You know I don't care if you do. Just figure out a way to explain getting out of Juvie for a night."

Wasn't like he couldn't figure out a way to get out of that, he could always tell everyone at the party he'd slept with one of the female security guards to let him out for the night and all of the morons probably would have hung on his every word. Instead though he kissed the back of her head letting his arms drop from around her waist and stepped over to the side of her, enough to peer in at the sleeping infant all covered in with blankets. He thought she'd over done it with packing the fleece and cotton till he'd actually felt the bitter air.

I'll be sure to make it worth your while

Her eyes rolled at the text as she held up his phone. Needless to say it was part of keeping their reputations that she didn't so much care for. He smirked as he read the message and reached for his phone from her hand. She resisted the urge to smash it on the ground. she'd done that to plenty of his cell phones before, it wasn't like it was something Jane would be surprised at if he said he suddenly needed a new one. What she hadn't noticed at first was him holding in the end button and slipping it back into the cup holder of the carriage beside her apple cider.

"Ma can call your phone if she needs us. I'm doing time in juvie babe, no getting out once you're in."

Pulling the draw string to his sweatshirt he moved closer to her for a moment confused as she kissed him, not their normal to prove a point kiss either. It was just a simple meeting of the lips, a kiss that held a louder message than all of the times a teacher walked in and he had her pinned to the top of a desk while all of the jealous onlookers labeled them both in their heads with names they'd never dear speak outside. Stepping on the lock to make sure the carriage wouldn't go anywhere and looking to make sure that his baby sister was heading back for the carriage he grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to him. His lips pressed right above the left lens of her glasses. She looked up catching his lips in another simple moment as Li, now peering in at her nephew tapped her foot impatiently. The eight year olds eyes were slowly becoming heaver with sleep.

"Tell you what, you drive home tonight. Once those kids are both sound asleep in the backseat I'll give you a preview of why you're staying home tonight."

She whispered, her voice dropping low to avoid little ears that would surly tattle and stay awake at the slightest inclination that they were doing anything that Jane had said not to or would condone. She'd done a better job of telling on them since Gabe had been born then before Gabe had been in existence.

"Where's the baby?"

Seeing her walk into the den without Gabe in her arms and Li's candy bowl instead confused him. He was almost sure that their little bug would spend the entire night in hers or his arms after the Halloween he had. Saying it was cold out was an understatement. Yet, they'd driven all the way to Cedar Point so that Li could trick or treat. Sure, Puck taking Li out by himself might have been the logical answer but when did the two of them actually think logically? With Jane working the night shift it wasn't like they had many options. Instead at four o'clock on a Sunday afternoon they'd packed up the car, dressed Li and Gabe and set out for spending Gabe's first holiday back where he'd been born. The evening had been cold and brutal. He'd been bundled up so much that the penguin outfit and hat Jane Puckerman had decided to dress him up as for his first Halloween had been completely blocked out by blankets to keep him warm instead. Gabriel had been completely content to sleep and suck on his pacifier.
"Sound asleep in his crib."
She sat down beside him and the first thing he did was pull her by her hips into his lap, her head going back so that he could kiss her softly at first, his hand traveling under the sweatshirt she had on to rest on the bare flesh there. Neither one of them felt like they were seventeen anymore and they hadn't felt that way for a while. It was almost scary how things changed. Neither one of them would have traded it though, the little boy laying sound asleep in their room was just proof that thing were the way they were meant to be. At least for a while.
