The next day was McKinley's graduation. Quinn and I spent the morning in the doctor's office. As nervous as I was feeling, I was glad Quinn agreed to make the appointment when she did. Whenever my leg bounced, Quinn placed her hand on it softly and it stopped. We had only been at Dr. Wu's office for ten minutes and it already felt like a hundred years.

"Sweetie, will you please sit still?" Quinn asked for about the fifteenth time since we sat down.

"Sorry, I'm just anxious," I apologized as I tried not to fidget endlessly.

"I know. Me too. I didn't even tell my mom where we are. I was too afraid she'd get upset. I couldn't do that to her. Not today. She's already been emotional about graduation. I didn't want to add to it."

I nodded as we continued to wait for Dr. Wu. The longer the man took, the more I was sure I'd kill him when he did appear. I heard Quinn sighed sadly a minute later and I gave her a questioning glance. She held up her phone and I saw a notification that she had a new text from Kurt.

"He's been bugging the shit out of me lately. And it's really starting to upset me. I mean, it's not like we were best friends but we've always gotten along before. And now, it feels like because he's not happy he doesn't want anyone to be happy," Quinn said as she opened the text.

Two babies, two dead beats, wow you know how to pick 'em, Fabray. - KH

I watched Quinn's eyes cloud with tears. I didn't even ask before I took her phone from her shaking hand. My eyes burned hot as I read his text. I hit delete before giving Quinn's phone back to her. She didn't need to keep that message. Then I took out my phone and sent a response.

For someone who used to kind of be Quinn's friend, you're being a total prick to her lately. It needs to stop. Or you will be sorry. Got it?

Screw you, criminal chipmunk! - KH

Oh seriously?! You're not even over that yet? Wow, you have a miserable life

Right then Quinn was called to go back to an exam room. I slid my phone in my picket before I stood and took her hand. She held on tight as we made our way through the narrow hall.

After all the standard questions and getting her vitals, Quinn took the cup from the nurse and went in the bathroom. When she came out, I thought she looked small. And scared. Definitely scared, which didn't help me but I tried to keep that under wraps.

A few minutes later, Dr. Wu came into the room. I took note of the expression on his face. The problem was I couldn't read it. And that bothered the shit out of me.

"Hi, Quinn," he said.

"Hi, Dr. Wu," she answered, "Oh, this is my boyfriend. Sebastian."

I nodded at him in response because I was too nervous to speak.

"Well, Quinn, I guess I should say congratulations. You are pregnant, again," Dr. Wu announced.

I didn't hear anything after that because I guess I blacked out. When I came to, I heard Quinn crying. Slowly, I made my way to her and she grabbed onto me and cried into my shirt. We stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Come on, we need to get you home. You have a graduation to get ready for," I said in an attempt to sound chipper.

"This is gonna kill Mom," she cried as I started my truck.

"No. Not yet. We can tell her tomorrow if you want. Let's focus on something else for now. Like your speech. Are you ready?" I replied.

"I guess so."

I reached between the seats and grabbed her hand. I didn't let it go until I had to so we could get out of the truck once we got to her house. She smiled weakly as we walked toward the door.

The graduation was minutes from beginning. I was sitting next to Judy with Beth on my lap. Frannie and Michael were on Judy's other side. Lacy was on Frannie's lap, squirming non-stop. I chuckled lightly as I looked down at Beth. She was sitting nicely like both Quinn and Puck asked her before they had disappeared backstage. However, the second Principal Figgins asked Quinn to come on stage for her speech, Beth went nuts. Thankfully, we had an endless supply of snacks and she stopped screaming for her mommy when I gave her some crackers.

"Most of you that know me, know that the past four years haven't been easy for me. Or any of us, for that matter," Quinn began, she turned to wink at Rachel, who only nodded her agreement, in that moment, "It's been the typical experience. Ups and downs. Highs and lows. Friends and enemies. Becoming friends with so-called "enemies". You name it, good and bad, I can probably say yes, it happened. We've been through a lot together in four years. I've put some people through a lot in that time too. Most of it wildly undeserved. Thank you for not writing me off. For never writing us off. WE are sitting here, on the edge of so much uncertainty, so many new opportunities. If no one else says it, I will. Thank you, we couldn't have done this without you."

When she finished, or so I thought, Quinn turned to face her class. They looked at her expectantly, curiously. She nodded as she drew in a deep breath. I could only tell that's what she did because I saw her shoulders move.

"And you to guys, my class, my friends. Thank you for getting me through the last four years. I love you," she said sincerely.

As Quinn took her seat again, the response to her speech was almost deafening. People were clapping, stomping their feet, whistling, cheering, cat-calling. And I was pretty sure there were a few faint sniffles through out the room. I could hear Judy crying quietly next to me and I squeezed her hand gently. She looked up and offered a small smile. I nodded in return. When I look back toward the stage I could see Mercedes, Santana and Rachel all had tears flowing down their cheeks. I watched as Rachel reached across Mike and grabbed Quinn's hand. They held each other's gaze for a split second before turning their attention back to Principal Figgins.

"Thank you, Quinn Fabray. Now, children, the moment you've all been waiting for," he said with his strange enthusiasm.

"Azimio Patrick Adams...Rachel Barbra Berry...Michael Robert Chang Jr...Lucy Quinn Fabray"

"Beth, wave to Mommy," I instructed when I saw that Quinn had stopped and was looking in our direction.

Beth flailed her arms wildly as she yelled, "Mommy! Hi Mommy! I yove you!" Quinn grinned as she waved back to her and blew a kiss. She winked at me and I winked back then she left the stage.

"Melissa Anne Gunderson...Finn Christopher Hudson...Kurt Ian Hummel"

I looked around and noticed that Blaine, who had been clapping for Finn, immediately stopped when Kurt's was called. I felt terrible about it despite knowing he didn't blame me.

"Jacob Ben Israel...Mercedes Hope Jones"

"Basian! Dat's Auntie 'Cede! I yove you Auntie 'Cede!" Beth squealed excitedly as she waved to Mercedes.

Mercedes winked at Beth with a big smile.

"David Paul Karofsky...Santana Maria Lopez"

"Hiiii Auntie Tana!" Beth screamed as Santana made her way across the stage.

I knew Santana could hear Beth, she stopped and looked about the crowded room. To make it easier, I stood Beth on my lap. I knew when Santana found her because the smile on her face grew. She immediately blew Beth a kiss before she walked back to her seat.

"Richard James Nelson...Suzanna Leigh Pepper...Brittany Susan Pierce"

I looked down at Beth and I knew she could see Puck was coming next. Her eyes were wide with excitement.

"Cheer really loud for Daddy, Bethie. It'll make him smile to know you're proud of him," I told her.

"Otay Basian," she replied seriously.

"Noah Aaron Puckerman"

"DADDY! I poud of you! I yove you toe much, Daddy!" Beth screeched.

Rather than go back to his seat after getting his diploma, Puck jumped off the stage and ran to where I had Beth in the aisle. As soon as he was close enough, I let my grip on Beth go. Puck scooped her off the floor and squeezed her tight. He kissed her forehead and hugged her again.

"Thank you, B. Daddy loves you too," he said before putting her down, "I have to go back to my seat. You stay here with Sebastian."

"No, take her. She should be with you and Quinn anyway," I said.

Puck didn't need to hear anything else. He lifted Beth back off the floor and hurried to his seat. I watched as Beth squirmed from his lap and made her way to Quinn less than thirty seconds later. She grabbed Quinn's gown and pulled herself onto her mommy's lap. I smiled at them as I took a couple quick pictures. With my phone and Quinn's.

"And...Lauren Taylor Zizes."

A chorus of cheers broke out as soon as Lauren's diploma was in her hand . They did it. They graduated high school.

"Ladies and gentlemen, William McKinley's class of 2012!" Principal Figgins announced when Lauren got back to her seat.

The room was full of cheers. I watched as Quinn hugged Rachel, Santana, Mike, Brittany, Mercedes, Finn. Then I watched as she and Puck hugged each other and then hugged and kissed Beth. They did it. One just barely and the other at the top. All while loving their wildly imaginative and highly energetic daughter.

"I love you," I mouthed when Quinn looked at me.

"I love you too," she mouthed back before blowing a kiss my way.
