I don't own Glee.

Enjoy!


"I think we should have a date night."

Rachel was still working out on her elliptical, and six weeks she was making progress. Her body wasn't the way it used to be, but she was almost at her regular size again.

"Are you sure?" she asked, finishing up on her exercise machine, "Who would watch over Cory?" The only person that ever really watched over him was Carole, so she only trusted her to be responsible for her son.

"I guess we could have Quinn and Puck watch over him."

"Did you just say Quinn and Noah?" after the way Quinn tortured Rachel while she was pregnant, she didn't really want her near her child. And she also had a feeling that her plan to destroy her wasn't over. As for Noah, he probably didn't want to babysit a baby that he thought was his child for twelve weeks.

"I don't think they'd mind. Maybe this will get them to hook up," Finn explained. Sometimes he was clueless; she hoped Cory wasn't like that when he was older.

"No offense, but before the party, me and her were equally prude. Her and Noah can't be together. That's like putting peanut butter and chlorine together; it just won't work," Rachel vindicated while walking up the stairs.

"Still, it'd be nice to do a little experiment. They'll be taking Chemistry in the fall after they babysit Cory, I promise!" Finn wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Fine. But if anything goes wrong, you're changing Cory's diapers for two weeks!"

"Fine. So...when do you wanna have a date night?" he asked.

"Tomorrow, I guess? she asked back, taking a bite out of an apple. He nodded in agreement, and they both walked into the dining room to set up lunch for themselves. Once they were finished, they both got a response from Noah and Quinn saying they'd do it. Noah and Quinn didn't know that they were babysitting together, though.

"Operation Quick is in commence," Rachel said, giving Finn a high-five.


Rachel delicately curled all the sides of her hair, finishing quickly. She was wearing a nice blue dress that she got from Good Will, and she decided to try a new hairstyle. Well, it wasn't necessarily new, but she just gave herself bangs. It was something different that she hoped would work out.

"Rach! Quinn's here!" Finn called from the living room. She was still surprised they were going to Breadstixs, since they should be using that money for baby needs. They agreed though to get whatever deal they had there, so it would be cheap.

"Coming!" the brunette finished her hair and walked out of the bathroom in a hurry. She saw Quinn sitting on one of the chairs, talking to Finn silently.

"Hello, Rachel," she said in her usual voice.

"Hi, Quinn," Rachel said back, "Are you ready to go?"

"Not yet. Let's go say bye to Cory," the couple went off into Cory's nursery to kiss their son goodbye.

"Bye Little Cor, we'll see you soon!" she kissed her fingers and then placed them on his cheek. Finn did the same, and they shut their son's door to hear another door open.

"I'm here! Wait, what's Quinn doing here?" they snickered quietly so they wouldn't be heard, and they ambled into the living room looking confused. It was all a part of the acting.

"I'm supposed to be babysitting, Puck," Quinn spat, crossing her arms together.

"No, I'm supposed to be babysitting," Noah growled, and the two argumentative teens shot a glance at Finn and Rachel, who were just smiling.

"We better go or else we'll lose our reservation. There's a list on the counter of what to do, bye!" the couple quickly left the house to avoid more arguing. They just in his car and started laughing their brains out.

"I wish we could have set up a camera or something. I would love to see what happens," he laughed while backing out of the driveway. If only they knew what was going on in the house.

-complicated-complicated-

Cory watched his Mommy and Daddy leave his room in fancy clothes. Where were they going? He usually saw them in simple clothes that Mommy would tell him about everyday. They didn't explain these clothes today. Or night, Cory wasn't really sure. There was something bright shining in his room, so maybe it was night. Daddy would tell him the difference between these "night" and "day" things. They would tell him a lot of things, but he couldn't remember or understand most of them since he was what they called a baby.

Right when he was about to fall asleep again, he heard the door open. Where Mommy and Daddy home already? He hoped so. But he saw someone with long hair and someone with weird hair. What were they doing here? Who were they? He only knew about Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Snixx and Gramma. Since he didn't know who they were, he decided that he would do what he did best.

Cry.

Whenever he cried, Mommy and Daddy would always come and save him. Instead he was picked up by the one with long hair and shushed him gently.

"It's ok, baby. It's ok," he could tell it was a girl because she sounded like Mommy. Her voice was soft and soothing. Cory liked the sound of it, "Auntie Quinn is here. It's ok."

Auntie Quinn? She seemed nice, but he didn't trust her yet though.

"What about Uncle Puck, huh? Let me see him," Uncle Puck didn't sound right. He didn't sound safe, so he didn't like him.

"I don't think Cory wants to see you. Besides your lifestyle is probably contagious. Rachel will kill you if Cory turns into you when he's older," what did contagious mean? It didn't sound like a good thing.

"Well, he needs a bath. It says so on Rach's list," Auntie Quinn took the list from Uncle Puck and started to speak.

"Give Cory a bath. Feed and change Cory's diaper and clothes. Burp Cory. Read Cory a book," Cory liked hearing his name.

"Jeez. That's a lot for one kid," Uncle Puck commented. Why wasn't he being nice? Mommy, Daddy, Gramma, and Auntie Snixx were always nice to him.

"Babies need a lot to attention and care, moron," he heard Auntie Quinn laugh. So far these people were really boring. He wanted Mommy and Daddy! Since they were gone, he thought of some things he could do to mess with these people. If they were nice, they wouldn't care. If they were mean, they would care and they'd be mad at him.

"Alright Little Cor, it's time for your bath," no one called him that besides Mommy. He was taken to something called a sink, which was already filled with water. He liked baths, they were nice and warm and there were things called bubbles in there that were fun to look at. Cory remembered that last time he had a bath, he smiled and Mommy and Daddy made a really big deal about it. He was wondering what they were doing right now. He hoped they missed him because he missed them.

"All done!" Auntie Quinn and Uncle Puck picked him out of his bath and started to dry him off. They were kinda rough but they didn't hurt him. Then, they put him in onesie that was really soft on the inside. Cory always liked that one because of it. Uncle Puck tried to feed him, but it wasn't working out right. Mommy and Daddy held him just right, but this guy wasn't doing it the way they do.

"He doesn't look comfortable, Puck. Here, let me," she said, signaling her hands out to hand him the baby.

"What are you, the baby whisperer or something?" Yes! She is! Be quiet Uncle Puck! Cory thought. He was then handed to Quinn, who held him much better. This was the way he was supposed to be held! After he was fed and burped, all he wanted to do was sleep. He starting nodding off when he heard arguing.

"I say we read him this!" Uncle Puck grabbed a book from some sort of bin and showed it to Auntie Quinn. She didn't look too happy with the choice.

"That's the guide to Halo, you moron! Finn must have left that in here. We should read him this," she grabbed another book from the bin and gave it to him.

"The Three Little Pigs? Isn't that a little violent for a six week old?" he asked.

"The guide to Halo is more violent than this book," Cory was getting really tired, and he figured by the time they finished yelling Mommy and Daddy would be home. He closed his eyes slowly and fell asleep.

"We're home!" awhile later, he heard Mommy's voice. A moment later, she came in with a large smile on his face. Her smile was nice and pretty. Her hair usually was too, but it was kinda messy. It was pretty earlier; why was it messy now?

"Hi Cory!" his Daddy was in his room too now, and he looked pretty happy. He must have been happy to see him.

"Ooo. Did you two get a little action tonight?" Cory heard Uncle Puck talking, and he saw Mommy cover his mouth with her hand. Action? What did that mean?

"Shh! There's a baby in here!" she made him stop talking, that was for sure, "Did you enjoy Auntie Quinn and Uncle Puck, Little Cor?"

He smiled, but it wasn't a real smile. He didn't do anything to Auntie Quinn and Uncle Puck today, but one day he would.


Originally, I wanted to make Quinn and Puck have alternating POVs for the babysitting, but I thought it was be funnier if it was in Cory's POV. You can kinda tell that Finn and Rachel explain a lot to Cory.

Coming up in chapter 29: Finn and Rachel try to decide if they should get a babysitter for Cory, if they should send him to a daycare center.
