Okay so at the end of the last chapter I said that this new chapter would be about Beth spending New Year's Eve with Finn and Rachel, but it's not. I tried typing it and what I wrote was SO BAD! Like I just couldn't have you guys read it! It was choppy and it was a mess. It didn't flow at all. I'm sorry about that but this chapter is SO MUCH BETTER!
Thank you for everyone that reviewed the last chapter! I love all of the support and encouragement on the reviews and they really make my day so please keep them coming! I hope you all enjoy the chapter!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT: BRIDGET, ALAYNA, ANNA, JULIET, JOEL, OLIVIA, TYLER AND AVERY!
"So how was New York?"
"It's New York, how do you think it was?" Beth asked Bridget as they walked down the hallway. Things were going well for Beth; she had gotten an A on her photography class project, and she went to New York for New Year's Eve and to visit Finn, Rachel, and their son Christopher. She was also starting to patch things up with Grant.
"Amazing?"
Beth nodded, "And now we're back in hell."
Bridget giggled in response, "Well I had a great Christmas! Joel got me a necklace and I actually got to spend some time with my mom."
"That's great Bridget!"
"Yeah, I'm happy. I really did miss her," said Bridget before her and Beth entered the choir room.
"Great, now that everyone is here we can finally celebrate our win at Sectionals!" Mr. Shue cheered. The glee club applauded and cheered as Mr. Shue held up their first place trophy. Bridget took a seat next to Joel, and Beth sat next to Juliet and Anna.
"Everyone did an amazing job and I congratulate all of you!"
"Now we have to focus on Regionals," said Joel.
"Yep, you're right Joel. And I know for sure that we'll be going up against Vocal Adrenaline this year so we have to be better than ever," said Mr. Shue, placing the trophy back on the ground.
"Mr. Shue we've beaten them before as well as the past glee clubs and we'll beat them again. There's no stopping us," said Anna.
"You're right Anna, but we still have to take this very seriously because they can always beat us," said Mr. Shue. "Now to start getting ready for Regionals, I told you before winter break that when you come back the lesson was going to be confidence. Has anyone started thinking about a song for this week's lesson?"
Beth slowly raised her hand, "I actually have a song prepared."
"That's great Beth, come on down," said Mr. Shue.
Beth stood up from her seat, "Is it okay if I have Juliet and Anna for back up?"
Mr. Shue nodded, "Yeah that's fine!"
Juliet and Anna both stood up as well and the three of them made their way to the front of the choir room. Beth went over to where the jazz band was and picked up an acoustic guitar and pulled the guitar strap over her head and resting it on her shoulder. Anna and Juliet sat on stools behind Beth as she started to strum the guitar and sing.
I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying, "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you."
Oooh we called it off again last night
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever...
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right
And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Oooh, you called me up again tonight
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Oh oh oh
I used to think that we were forever ever
And I used to say, "Never say never..."
Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you,"
And I'm like... "I just... I mean this is exhausting, you know, like,
We are never getting back together. Like, ever"
No!
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
We are not getting back together,
We oh, not getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Everyone applauded for the young blonde and Beth had a big smile on her face. "I didn't know Beth could play the guitar," Joel whispered to Bridget.
"Yeah her dad taught her."
"Beth that was great, what did you have in mind, confidence wise, when you chose that song?"
"I mean I didn't choose it for a personal reason but I thought the song showed great confidence through the lyrics that were written by the amazingly talented Taylor Allison Swift," said Beth, giving the rest of the glee club a bow that made everyone laugh.
Mr. Shue chuckled, "That's great Beth, and I hope that everyone follows in Beth's path for the rest of the week."

That afternoon was when Puck's store was opening for the first time. Quinn insisted that she went but Puck didn't want her to since she was on strict bed rest. Not to mention that Quinn was overdue and was quite moody and just uncomfortable. "Puck they're never going to come out!" said Quinn.
"They will Q, just give it some time."
"GIVE IT TIME? It's past my due date and that's when they were supposed to come! I can't take this anymore! I'm tired because they can't stop kicking at night and I can't sleep. I'm still eating everything in sight and I'm the size of a whale!"
"But you're a beautiful whale," said Puck, attempting to give her a kiss but Quinn just moved away.
"Puck don't try to kiss me right now!"
"See, this is why you shouldn't come."
"But I want to support you!"
"Quinn it's a long drive and I know that would make you feel even more uncomfortable."
Quinn sighed and rested her hand on her large belly, "Puck I'm going."
Puck gave her a look, "Fine."
"Can you hand me my red ballet flats?" Quinn asked.
"Please?"
"I don't need to say please, I'm carrying your children."
Puck rolled his eyes as he made his way towards their closet. He found the red flats and handed them to Quinn. "No not those, the other ones with the cute bow at the top," said Quinn.
"Really Quinn?" said Puck, walking back to the closet to search for the flats that Quinn was talking about.
He found them and walked back to Quinn, "You know what, those won't match the dress that I was going to wear."
"You know what Quinn; pick out your own shoes!" Puck shouted as he went into the bathroom.
"Fine I will!" Quinn shouted back after hearing Puck slam the bathroom door shut. Quinn slowly stood up from the bed and started walking towards the closet. But she felt a sharp pain strike her lower back making her stop. "Oh my god," said Quinn in response to the pain. She waddled over to the dresser and leaned on it with her one hand and her other hand resting on her back.
"Puck," she said through her pain, but there was no response from Puck.
"Noah!" she said louder, now really expressing her pain through her voice.
She heard the bathroom door open and turned to see Puck running towards her, "Is it time?"
Quinn gave him a small smile, "Yeah it's time."
Puck smiled in return and pressed a quick kiss on her forehead, "I'm sorry for how I acted."
"I'm sorry too," Quinn admitted, kissing him back on the lips.
"Let's go have these babies," said Puck.
"Get what we need Puck," said Quinn.
"We need the bag we packed right? And we need the camera," said Puck, running out of the room.
"What's going on?" Beth asked as she stepped outside of her room.
"Your mom is having the twins so get ready to go. You know what," said Puck reaching in his jean pocket and pulling out the car keys. "Go start the car."
Puck tossed Beth the keys and she caught them, "Seriously?"
"You're gonna have to do it sometime," said Puck before he ran off.
"Sweet! Should I call Grandma and tell her to meet us at the hospital with Olivia?"
"Yeah!" Puck shouted back since he was already down stairs.

"Puck where are you at?" Quinn asked as she stood in the foyer, waiting for him to find the bag.
"I can't find the freakin' bag!"
"It's in the living room!"
Puck ran into the living room and looked around nervously. He finally found it and went to the foyer, "Is that it?"
"The camera?"
"Oh yeah!" said Puck before he ran off again. Beth came back in from outside and shook the snow off her head, "I started the car and I called Grandma and told her to meet us at the hospital."
"Hold my hand," said Quinn.
"What?"
"Just do it Beth. Oh my god," said Quinn as she felt another contraction. She grabbed Beth's and squeezed it.
"Mom any tighter and I won't have any feeling in my hand!"
"Puck we have to go NOW!" Quinn shouted.
"Okay, okay, okay I got it!"
"Puck get your shit together now or I'll get it together for you!" Quinn said sternly, making Beth chuckle and cover her mouth to hide her smile.
"Then let's go!"
On the car ride to the hospital Puck held Quinn's hand the whole time and never let go. "Say hi to the camera Mom!" said Beth.
Quinn looked over her shoulder and saw Beth with a video camera in her hand, "Beth, what are you doing?"
"Dad said I could be the camera woman and he said to get everything on video."
"Beth please get that out of my face, NOW!" Quinn insisted. The last thing she wanted was to be filmed sweating bullets and screaming in pain.
"But Dad said…"
Next thing you knew Quinn slapped the camera out of Beth's hand. Beth was shocked and had huge eyes, "MOM!"
"Beth it's okay, I had a feeling she would do that," said Puck. "There's another camcorder in the back."
Quinn threw her head back, "Oh my god. Can someone please just get me out of this car?"
"We're almost there Q."

"I WANT THE EPIDURAL!" Quinn screamed.
"Honey you can't," said Judy as she wiped the sweat off of Quinn's forehead with a rag as she held her daughter's hand.
"WHY NOT?"
"Because the nurse said it was too late," Judy responded.
"I don't care! I WANT IT NOW!"
Puck walked over to one of the nurses in the room, "Can't you give her something to take away the pain?"
"I can't sir, she's almost read y to start pushing."
"PUCK!" he heard Quinn shout, making him turn around and rush over to her.
"Don't leave my side okay?" Quinn cried in pain.
Puck took her hand again, "I won't, I'll be right here the whole time."
Back outside in the waiting room Beth sat in one of the chairs with Olivia on her lap. She didn't want to be in the delivery room because she knew she couldn't stand watching her mom in pain like that. Plus someone had to stay outside with Olivia. "Hi Beth!" said a little girl's voice. Beth saw that it was Alayna along with Sam and Mercedes.
"Did Aunt Quinn have the babies yet?" Alayna asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Nope not yet," said Beth.
"Hi Olivia," said Alayna giving Olivia a kiss.
"Not yet huh?" Sam asked.
Beth shook her head, "I hope it will be soon though."
"Beth guess what!" said Alayna.
"What?"
"Come here you," said Sam, taking Alayna into his arms. "What did we say about our little secret?"
"Oh yeah, don't tell Uncle Puck, Aunt Quinn, and Beth that Mommy is having a baby!"
Sam and Mercedes both sighed and Beth giggled, "Really?"
"Now that the cats out of the bag, yeah we are," Mercedes said with a smile, taking Sam's free hand into hers.
"That's awesome! I'm so happy for you guys!"
"Thanks, we didn't want to tell you because we wanted today to be about the twins."
"It's fine! And Alayna gets to be a big sister!"
"Like you Beth!"
Beth chuckled, "Yeah like me."

Tyler Jacob Puckerman was born at 6:25pm and Avery Nicole Puckerman was born at 6:33pm. Quinn was so happy that the pain was over but she knew it was so worth it in the end. Quinn held Avery while Puck held Tyler, "You were amazing Quinn," said Puck, giving her a kiss on the lips.
Quinn smiled, "They're both so perfect."
"We have a pretty good track record when it comes to baby making," said Puck, making Quinn laugh as she lightly bounced Avery in her arms.
"Yeah we do," said Quinn with tears in her eyes.
"Are you okay baby?"
"I'm fine; it's just that this time. We don't have to make the decision of giving them up or not, they're ours."
Puck bent down again and gave her another kiss. "I love you so much," he said tearfully.
"I love you too," said Quinn.
Puck pulled away again and observed Tyler for it seemed like the millionth time to him. "Well let's see if Daddy was right," said Puck, slowly taking off Tyler's blue hat making him flinch at the sudden breeze on his head. "Look at that he's got Mommy's blonde hair," said Puck.
Quinn giggled as she did he same with Avery, "She's got Daddy's brown hair." Avery gave her a small smile at the sound of her voice making Quinn smile in return, "She has Daddy's smile too."
"Tyler has Mommy's nose. Now we just have to see if they both have Mommy's eyes, just like I predicted. Come on little man, open your eyes for Daddy," Puck encouraged. Right on cue, Tyler slowly opened his eyes and sure enough he had Quinn's hazel eyes.
"Yep! He has your eyes Quinn, what about Avery?"
Quinn nodded as she looked down at her baby girl, seeing that she had her eyes. "Yeah she does, you were right babe," said Quinn.
"Can we come in?" Judy asked.
"Yeah you can," said Quinn.
Judy walked in with Beth following behind holding Olivia in her arms. Sam, Mercedes, and Alayna entered the room as well. "They are so cute!" said Mercedes.
"Let me hold one of them," Judy insisted. Quinn handed Avery to her mother, "She's so beautiful Quinnie."
"Can I hold one of them?" Beth asked shyly.
"Of course you can Beth," said Puck. Beth handed Olivia over to Quinn, "Hi baby girl," said Quinn, kissing Olivia's head and holding her close. Puck then handed Tyler to Beth, carefully placing him in her arms.
"Hi Tyler, I'm Beth, your big sister," Beth said sweetly.
"Can I hold one of the babies?" Alayna asked.
"If it's okay with Aunt Quinn and Uncle Puck," said Sam.
"Yeah it's fine if she does, but we have to help you Alayna because babies need to be handled carefully," said Quinn.
Alayna started jumping up and down excitingly, "That's fine by me!"

It was a few hours later and Beth was about to leave the hospital with Judy and Olivia while Puck spent the night with Quinn and the twins. Beth wanted to see Tyler and Avery one last time before she left, so she headed to the nursery where all of the babies were held. Beth looked in the room through the big glass window, searching for her little brother and sister. She eventually found them side by side, letting a smile slip across her face. Beth thought they were the cutest and the most adorable babies in that room, they probably were. Beth thought of how lucky they were, lucky to not being known as adopted children. She thought about how they wouldn't have to make more than one Mother's Day card on Mother's Day. Beth also thought about how they have the last name Puckerman, but she didn't. Beth never regretted being adopted because she loved having Shelby as her mom, always has and always will. But being adopted always has had its challenges for Beth.
"Hey B," said Puck.
Beth turned to see him and Quinn by his side. Beth smiled, "Hey."
Puck and Quinn walked closer to her, Quinn stood on Beth's left side and Puck stood on her right, looking at Tyler and Avery through the window as well. "They really are cute," said Beth. "Perfect even."
"Yeah they are, all of my babies are perfect," said Quinn, putting her arm around Beth.
"It must be easier this time huh?" Beth asked, looking at both of them.
"It is," Puck admitted.
"I'm glad they don't have to go through what I went through. Same for you guys, you don't have the decision to give up two perfect babies. I'm happy for them and I'm even happier for you guys," said Beth, feeling her eyes getting red and puffy, trying to hold back her tears.
Puck looked over at Quinn and saw she had two tears trickling down her cheeks. He didn't know if it was just her hormones or what, but he felt like he could cry too. Puck got closer to Beth and pulled her close as she held on to Quinn's hand. The tears that were shed were tears of sadness but they were mostly tears of joy.
I hope you all recognized the parallel with that last scene and with the finale of season one! My Quicketh heart! Lol, well I hope you all liked it! I'm so excited to write for Tyler and Avery now!
Song used: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
