"Puck!" Quinn called aloud from Olivia's nursery.
Puck entered the room, "What is it babe?"
"Today you're going to face your fear," said Quinn, placing Olivia on the changing table.
Puck nodded, "You're right Q, I have to do this."
Quinn smiled, "Good," she said placing a kiss on his cheek before leaving the room.
Puck walked closer towards Olivia and observed the diaper. "Bye dad," said Beth, stepping into the nursery for a moment.
"Beth wait, come here!" Puck whispered, loud enough for her to hear.
"Why are you whispering?"
"I don't want your mom to hear me. Listen, I need you to change her diaper for me."
Beth chuckled, "No you have to do it. Mom told me I can't help you."
"Come on B, please?"
"Dad I have to leave for school soon!"
"How about twenty bucks?"
Beth thought, "Thirty."
"Twenty five," said Puck trying to compromise with the fourteen year old.
Beth rolled her eyes, "Fine, I'll help you but I'm not doing it for you."
Puck nodded, it seemed fair to him. Beth placed her backpack on the floor and walked closer towards Olivia. "Hi Livy," Beth cooed.
"So what do I do first?" Puck asked.
"Well you kind of have to undo the straps," said Beth, pointing to both straps on each side of the diaper.
Puck carefully peeled back the straps, "Hey I did it."
"See dad? This is progress!"
"Yeah maybe this isn't so bad after all," said Puck, continuing to open the diaper. However, he stopped when he saw the mess that Olivia had made in the diaper. He was mortified and so was Beth.
"Oh my god!" said Puck.
Beth covered her mouth and her nose, "That's so gross! I can't do this!"
Beth grabbed her backpack and started to leave. "I thought we had a deal Beth!" said Puck as he coughed.
"Keep the money dad. I have to go."
"Come on Beth!" Puck pleaded. It was too late because Beth already left. Olivia had started crying and Puck started to feel bad.
"Suck it up Puckerman. You can do this," Puck said to himself.
A new diaper and loads of baby powder and wipes later it was a success! He changed a dirty diaper. Puck was very proud of himself, "Look at that princess. Daddy did a pretty good job didn't he?"
Olivia just gave him a blank stare, "We'll work on the smiling and laughing later."

Beth arrived at school and couldn't wait for her first glee club meeting that afternoon. As she made her way towards her locker Emily approached her, "Beth! Lima is ending our volleyball league!"
"What! Why would they do that?"
"Coach Brown had to leave Lima because her sister who lives in Florida was sick or something so she had to leave and help her. There are no other coaches to fill in for her. Plus we don't have enough players for the league! What are we going to do now?"
Beth starting taking books from her locker and placing them in her bag, "Why don't we start a volley ball team at McKinley?"
"That's a good idea. But we have to tell Principal Figgins about it first."
Beth nodded, "I better get going Emily, thanks for telling me."
"No problem, bye!"
"Bye!"
Later that day in photography class, the students were taking notes on angles and lighting. As Beth was copying the notes, she saw a piece of paper move towards her. It was a note from Grant, she looked over at him, and he nudged his head to let her know to open it.
Beth opened the note and read it, "Hey, you look extremely bored."
Beth clicked her pen and wrote back, "Yeah, I thought photography would be fun but this is annoying."
She folded the paper again and gave it back to Grant. He wrote again and passed it back to Beth. "Yeah this is. My dad is a photographer so I'm pretty good at photography."
"So this class must be an easy A for you?"
Before Grant could reply, the bell rang. Beth put away her notebook and so did Grant, "Yeah it is," said Grant before he left. Beth smiled and shook her head as she left the classroom as well.
She met up with Emily and Juliet and they entered the choir room together. There were already upperclassmen in the room. They were talking amongst themselves as the three of them sat in the choir room chairs. A few looked over at Beth, Emily, and Juliet noticing they were freshmen.
"Hey Em," said Joel, Emily's older brother who was a junior.
"Hey," she said, giving him a wave in return. A few other freshmen walked in and took their seats as well.
"I don't know how in the hell we're even going to get to Sectionals this year without Bridget," said one of the girls.
"Yeah she was the best female vocalist in here," said another student.
"Sounds like Bridget was the star of the glee club," Juliet whispered to Beth.
"Yeah, it does," said Beth. Since Bridget lived with her aunt now, she had to go to a different school.
Soon enough, Mr. Shue entered the choir room, "Welcome back everyone!"
Everyone cheered and applauded, "And welcome the new freshmen to McKinley and to the glee club."
"Speaking of the new freshmen, can I sing something Mr. Shue?" Joel asked as he raised his hand.
"Go right ahead Joel."
Joel was the best male vocalist of the club and was known as the glee stud. Everyone loved Joel and his upbeat personality. He stood up from his seat and faced the rest of the glee club, "So I wanted to start this year off with a personal favorite of mine, anyone is welcome to join in. And freshmen this is a chance to show what you've got."
Joel pointed to the jazz band to start playing. When the music started, everyone knew what the song was.
[Joel]
Oh, yeah
Oh!
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this
[Joel]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
A few of the other members of the glee club joined in as well.
[Joel with Others]
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key
Oh
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)
[Joel with Others]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger
"One of us has to join in and sing. We have to show them that the freshmen can sing too," Emily whispered to Beth and Juliet.
"I'll go," said Beth. She jumped up from her seat, headed towards the front of the choir room, and started singing alongside Joel and a few of the other upperclassmen.
[Beth]
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)
[Joel]
And it goes like this
[Joel with Others]
Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
Everyone applauded at the end of the song. "Look at Beth! Great job kid," said Joel, giving her a high five. The rest of the upperclassmen praised Beth as well.
"That was so awesome Beth," said Juliet, giving her friend a hug and Emily gave her a hug as well.
"I think we've got some competition this year Mr. Shue," said one of the girls.
"I think you're right Anna," said Mr. Shue looking over at Beth. He knew exactly who she was and was happy to have her in the glee club.

"Hey sweetheart how was school?" Quinn asked as she saw Beth arrive home. Quinn was resting on the couch and Beth decided to join her.
"It was great actually. You know I hate my history teacher this year right?"
"Mrs. Pemberton?" Quinn questioned.
"Yeah, she's old, mean, and gives way too much homework."
Quinn giggled, "Yeah it used to be easy when you had me as your teacher wasn't it?"
"That's because you're young, nice, and didn't give as much homework."
"Well I know Mrs. Pemberton and she is a very good history teacher. You'll be fine."
"I guess so."
"Oh have you heard from Bridget lately?" Quinn asked.
"Actually, no I haven't," said Beth. Bridget not keeping in touch made Quinn curious, but she didn't let it get to her.
"Oh so how did dad do with changing Olivia's diaper this morning?" Beth asked.
"After you left he actually did it."
Beth's eyes widened, "Really?"
Quinn nodded, "Yeah he told me that you tried to help him."
"Yeah but I bailed when he actually opened the diaper."
Quinn laughed, "You two are too much."
Beth giggled, "So how are the two future Puckerman's doing?"
Quinn rested her hand on her belly, "Great actually."
"Have you and dad started thinking about names yet?"
"Not yet, but we have plenty of time for that."
"Quinn? Beth?" Puck called aloud, coming through the front door.
"We're in here!" said Beth.
Puck entered the living room with the biggest smile on his face, "You are now looking at the owner of a chain music store."
"Really? That's great honey," said Quinn, standing up from the couch. Puck walked over to her and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"So you're going to open another Half Note Haven?" Beth asked.
"Yep, I just signed the papers today. The store is in Columbus."
Quinn smiled at her husband, "I'm so happy for you."
That night, Quinn woke up and tried to feel for Puck next to her but he wasn't there. She stood up from her bed and made her way out of the room. Quinn saw a small light coming from Olivia's nursery and followed it.
She entered the room to find Puck in the rocking chair holding Olivia in his arms. Quinn heard him humming a song, to her it sounded like Sweet Caroline.
Quinn loved seeing him with Olivia he completely adored her. She always knew that Puck would be a great dad. Quinn didn't want to bother them so she headed back to her room for the night.
