From the day she was born, Finn never really had much of a bond with Beth. After all of the drama that went down between him and Quinn it seemed like Beth wasn't in his territory; but that never stopped him caring for her. He had been staying with Quinn for weeks now and he was finding it incredibly hard to stop himself falling for the eldest of the Fabray girls. Beth was a perfect mixture of two people he loved a lot, Quinn Fabray and Noah Puckerman. She was bright, gorgeous and sarcastic just like Quinn but at the same time she was cheeky, brave and determined; like her father. He liked having her around; she kept things fresh and not so serious. When she was around the world just seemed like a happier place, he guessed that was the effect Beth Fabray would have on people when she was older.

"Ok Beth if you and you're mom go and wait in the car I'll get Cory into her car seat, grab the baby bag and I'll meet you two there."

For a couple of weeks now he had noticed that Beth was starting to get bored with sitting around the house all day so when he planned a family trip to the zoo he couldn't help but smile and feel slightly proud of himself when he saw how happy it made her.

"Alright Uncle Finn, hurry up I want to get there as soon as it opens!"

"We'll get there before."

Finn winked at her just as she giggled. She sure loved her uncle Finn alright.

"Ok Bethy let's go."

Quinn ushered her daughter out of the door, she was trying to hide it but she was pretty excited about going to the zoo today too, she loved zoo's... that was probably where Beth got her love of animals from. Finn was extra careful putting Cory in the car; she was still so tiny it was unbelievable. As he double checked the seatbelt he heard Quinn chuckle.

"I think she's done Finn..."

"Just making sure! She's so god damn small."

The ride to the zoo took a while, the nearest zoo was way out of Lima but it was all worth it when Finn saw both Beth and Quinn's faces when they got to the gate. It was the middle of winter so cold wasn't the word to describe the weather. There was no wind but it felt like the air around them was laced with ice, they were each wearing at least two pairs of socks and even Cory had tiny weenie gloves on.

"What are we going to see first Uncle Finn? Penguins... Please say the penguins I love penguins!"

Beth was overexcited to say the least; the cold weather didn't bother her in the slightest. She took Finn's hand in hers and pulled him through the cold zoo towards the penguin pool, apparently they were going to see the penguins first no matter what. Beth clapped her hands together with excitement when she saw that it was feeding time for the penguins, there weren't many people around.

"MOM! Please can I feed the penguins?"

Quinn frowned, she knew that feeding the animals at the park wasn't something the public were involved in, she just wasn't sure how to tell her daughter, the girl obsessed with penguins; that she couldn't feed them.

Luckily, one of the zookeepers overheard and seemed to be in a good mood despite the freezing conditions.

"You can help me feed the penguins if you like?! If you get your daddy to help you..."

Both Quinn and Finn stood awkwardly at the assumption that Finn was Beth's father. Beth didn't have the same concern.

"Oh he's not my dad, but he'll help me feed the fishes... won't you Uncle Finn?"

"Um..."

Finn had always had a small thing against birds, all birds... and the ones that swam were the worst. It wasn't that he didn't like them; he was just a little scared that they would bite him. Ok he was a lot scared that they would bite him.

"They're very friendly, and I'll give you all the help you need!"

Called out the zookeeper.

"Just for you Beth."

He replied. If it would make Beth happy then he would do it without question. Maybe he would get over his fear today. He and Beth stood on the side of the tank as all of the penguins flocked around. The tank was filled with the high pitched sound of Beth's giggling as the penguins jumped for the little fish that she was throwing out for them. Finn swore that when Beth laughed it was the greatest sound on the earth; she was literally the most perfect child he had ever met.

They finished feeding the penguins and soon enough they were walking through the zoo together. Beth was skipping ahead, shouting out the exact names of all of the animals she walked past and Quinn and Finn weren't too far behind, Quinn pushing Cory in her pram.

"You're so good with her Finn... you're good with both of them."

Quinn smiled as she felt the cold air touch her face.

"They're good to me."

"No I mean it! Beth loves you, when did she start calling you Uncle Finn?!"

Finn laughed, he didn't mind being called Uncle Finn, it was exactly what Becca and Allie (Sam's twins) called him too, he was getting used to little girls calling him it. He was cool Uncle Finn... kinda.

"I guess she heard me saying it to Cory and it stuck... it's cool, I like it."

"It's adorable."

"Thanks!"

"She definitely has your brain Quinn."

He said as he listened intently to Beth calling out random facts of information about the snow leopards.

"Well she has to get it from somewhere" Quinn winked and giggled. "Speaking of that... are you going to be ok with Rachel and Finn coming for Christmas? I'll understand if you're not."

"You know I think I'm fine, they found each other just like I found something special."

"Something special?"

"You and the girls, you make me happy Quinn."

She smiled without saying a word; she didn't know where this was going. They definitely weren't in any kind of relationship... but Quinn didn't want him going anywhere, not any time soon.

"Move in."

She said without thinking, it was what she wanted.

"What?"

Finn was shocked, he had been staying for a while but he never thought of it as a permanent thing... of course he never thought about leaving either.

"Move in with us Finn... I've loved having you around, so have my girls."

He didn't need to think about it, moving in with Quinn would be perfect. Throwing both of his arms around the back of Quinn, walking with her as she pushed Cory; he balanced his head on her shoulder.

"I would love to move in with you Quinn Fabray."

"Good."

"Ok"

"Ok"

"Done"

"Roomie"

They began to laugh together when Beth turned back to face them.

"What's funny mom?"

"Uncle Finn is moving in with us... What do you think?"

Quinn asked as she watched Beth widely smile.

"I thiiiink... our house has been his home for a while anyway."

"That's right."

"I love you Uncle Finn!"

Beth cried as she ran away again.

"I love you too Bethy."
