Disclaimer: Honestly, if Glee were mine, it might actually suck a little bit, lol ... cuz I'd write what I like and piss 50% of people off. Oh well ... ;) Good things it's Ryan Murphy's, then. He always writes amazing episodes!

He's had a pretty rough year, no doubt.
He's made some mistakes; one in specific … that, despite being a mistake, ended up making a miracle; his little miracle. Quinn's little miracle; Shelby's little miracle. All these mistakes (and not-exactly-mistakes) are things that he's going to have to live with.
He's going to have to live with the fact that he was once a terrible person, picking on others to be 'cool'. He's going to have to live with the fact that he'll never fully regain his friendship with Finn; he blew that, and even if Finn forgives him it can never be the same. He's going to live with the fact that somewhere out there, Shelby Corcoran is raising a little girl with Quinn's hair and eyes, and his nose and smile. That somewhere in the world, his little girl is growing up without him.
They aren't easy things to live with. The guilt for all he's done to the Gleeks alone is enough to keep away sleep at night while he berates himself for being such an idiot. And he'll always miss his friendship with Finn, even if he doesn't deserve to; that shit started when they were four years old, sharing rusty old toy cars in a small sandbox. He'll never forget his baby girl, out there in the world.
But sometimes, things aren't so hard.
When he's sitting on his bed, or in his backyard, or sitting in the park, with Rachel by his side (or with her head in his lap), strumming his guitar … it's almost easy to forget.
The simplicity of the melody, the sound of her voice gently mixing in with the chords, the feel of the strings beneath his calloused fingers; it's strange in a totally peaceful kind of way … and it makes his life seem so much easier.
He just sees her smile, and all of a sudden it's like he isn't carrying the weight of the world on his shoulder anymore.

A/N: Yeah, more Puckleberry. Honestly, this was just supposed to be about Puck and his guitar. But then I started writing, and by the end it wasn't anything like it was supposed to be.
Oh well, haha, I like it anyways! Hope you enjoyed, too.!
