Beginning Our Life
Last Time: Sarah and Puck spent the night together on a date. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any songs that I may put in here.
For Better Or For Worse
Sarah's Point of View
I slowly copied down Mr. Schue's notes. I swear this was one of the most boring classes ever even though this was my favorite teacher.
"What's his problem?" Marley whispered and nodded towards Ryder jumping around in front of us.
"I don't know," I whispered back, "I was really happy to be in this class with you two, but now I'm regretting it if he's going to act like a moron."
"Hey," Marley kicked the back of Ryder's chair, "What is your problem?"
"Did you take one of those 11 hour energy shots?" I asked.
"There's a reason they're illegal in Canada," Marley added.
"No. What? No, I'm good," Ryder smiled, "Fantastic."
I rolled my eyes and sat back, "Freak."
Jake suddenly walked in and my eyes widened, if possible, they even popped out of my head when he started singing. That was until I remembered that Puck sang to me last year. My hand wrapped around my locket and I gave a stiff nod to myself as Marley and Jake finished their song, I was not jealous at all.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I pushed open the nursery doors, "What are we doing for Valentine's day?"
Puck looked up from where he was changing Nate, "How was your day? Good? Good. Oh, how was my day? Well, I took Nate out and we weren't even there ten minutes before he threw up all over me and I smelled like puke for the next hour even though I cleaned it off in the bathroom after going upstairs and across the entire building because the downstairs bathroom was closed so I pretty much was there for nothing since I couldn't even find you a Valentine's gift which apparently I'm guessing you want a good one by the question. So you know what? My day was great."
My mouth gaped for a second before I shook my head and ran over to him and pulled him in a hug, "I'm sorry," I whispered, "I'm so sorry."
"It's fine," he grumbled.
I kissed the side of his mouth, "Really, I wish I could have been there with you today."
He shrugged and slipped from my grip to finish taping Nate's diaper.
I bit my lip; the feeling of guilt continuously washing over me.
"Your mom picked me up a new tux for Mr. Schue's wedding," Puck said quietly, "Wanna see it?"
"Yeah," I smiled, "That'd be great."
Puck avoided my eye contact while passing me Nate and rushing out of the room.
I sat on the rocking chair with a sigh, "Sorry. I shouldn't have gotten Daddy upset. I was just a little jealous of Aunt Marley, but I'll be ok. Maybe next time you can help me out though, like how about you don't throw up on your dad? Or at least let him shop before getting him all smelly."
Nate gurgled and smacked his lips.
I smiled, "Let's make a deal. You stop throwing up on Dad and I'll buy you a new dog to go with your other ones. Deal?" He raised his fist and I laughed while gently touching my own fist to it, "Alright."
Puck walked in wearing his new suit, "So?"
I grinned, "Hot."
"Yeah?" he smirked and slowly spun so I could see it all, "You really think so?"
"Uh-huh," I stood and walked over to him, "What do you think, Nathan? Do you like Daddy's new tux?"
He drooled down his chin and Puck's nose scrunched up, "I'll just accept that and trust you."
I laughed before kissing him, "You look great."
"What are you wearing?" he asked.
I led him to my standing dresser and pulled out the dark red dress I'd bought with Brittany the other day, "This."
He nodded with a smirk, "That's like the hottest thing you've ever bought."
I laughed while putting it back, "I'll take that as a compliment."
Puck gripped my waist tightly, "Sorry for that mini freak out."
I shrugged, "No problem, you just had a little diva moment."
"Really?" Puck chuckled, "I'm the diva in this relationship? We'll see about that."
"What are you gonna do?" I teased.
He took Nate from my arms and set him in the crib before turning around and smirking, "Teach you a lesson."
My eyes widened and I backed up, "No, I'm sorry."
"You can apologize all you want for that little comment, but it doesn't get rid of the fact that your son threw up on me and prevented me from buying you a gift," Puck followed me and jumped forward to block the door.
I heard the click of the lock, "Puck, I'm serious, what are you doing?"
He shrugged and gently pushed me backwards on the mattress, "It's been six weeks since Nate was born."
My hands tangled in his hair, "I know, but-" I realized what Puck planned on happening and started pushing on his chest, "No, please, no, I'm not ready."
Puck froze and blinked before climbing off of me and sitting on the bed, "You've never turned me down before."
I sat up, "I'm sorry."
He shook his head, "No, it's my fault, I just assumed you would have wanted to."
"I do," I whispered, "But not here."
Puck looked up, "What are you talking about?"
I let out a deep breath and gently tugged on his jacket, "We're going to a wedding in two days. There's going to be a reception in a hotel. Everyone's staying the night. Our son won't be in the next room."
Puck caught on and grinned, "I can wait, but know that it'll be hard to wait any longer."
"So that's how we'll spend our Valentine's day?" I asked.
Puck shook his head, "I'll figure out something to top last year. Maybe we can do what I told Jake, you can put on a fashion show to get us in the mood."
My mouth gaped before I scoffed and shoved him, "In your dreams, moron."
"They're good dreams," he called as I went to grab Nate.
I laughed softly while picking up my baby, "Daddy's going to get in trouble."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I shifted in my seat between Sam and Puck, "When's this going to start?"
"Any time now," Puck answered.
I leaned into him, "Do you think Nathan's ok?"
"Yeah," Puck breathed, "He's probably great. He loves our family."
"A whole night without him," I shuddered, "I can't believe we're doing this."
Puck kissed the top of my head, "We can go home anytime."
I looked up, "But the hotel room-"
"Can wait," Puck smiled, "Really."
I shook my head and straightened up, "We're staying."
Puck's hand made it's way to the back of my hair and stroked down to my neck where he squeezed softly, "This is our Valentine's day, I'm up for anything."
The doors in the back opened and the music played. We all turned and there was a collective gasp from everyone. Sue started walking down the aisle dressed in Ms. Pillsbury's dress.
Puck snickered, trying to quiet the sound by hiding in my hair. Brittany snapped a couple pictures and I was torn between wanting them or hitting the camera out of her hand.
Sue whispered something once at the front. Mr. Schue's eyes widened. Finn looked like he was going to faint. The bridesmaids all began talking to each other in hushed tones. Mercedes covered her mouth with her hand.
Mr. Schue stepped forward, "Um, everyone, I'm sorry, but there isn't going to be a wedding today. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you'd like to stay until we figure out what's going on, that's great. Thank you," he turned and slowly walked out a side door.
Finn seemed torn for a second before quickly walking up the aisle and out the doors.
Puck and I glanced at each other and seemed to understand each other immediately. We shot up and hurried past Sam and Brittany. Puck pushed his way through everyone trying to leave all at once. I wasn't as lucky as him and had to keep dodging guests. Finally, I made it out the doors in time to see Finn run into a bathroom down the hall. Puck shoved open the bathroom door and I didn't hesitate to follow him.
"What do you know, Hudson?" Puck asked loudly.
Finn jumped from his spot in front of the sink, "What are you talking about?" he whispered.
Puck quickly spun him around, "You know why Ms. Pillsbury ran out."
"Finn," I walked forward, "Just tell us."
He glanced between us with wide, scared eyes, "It's my fault, I did it."
"What'd you do?" Puck asked.
Finn shook his head and stared down at his hands, "It's my fault. I ruined Mr. Schue's life."
"I'm sure you didn't," I said softly, "Tell us what happened and we can fix it."
"I kissed Ms. Pillsbury," Finn slapped his palm to his forehead, "I hate myself! I just want to die," he frantically began looking around the bathroom.
Puck grabbed his wrists and forced Finn to look at him, "Hey, no, you're not going to die and I won't let you hate yourself. You did not ruin this wedding, Ms. Pillsbury did by not showing up."
I nodded and stepped forward while reaching a hand out to gently touch Finn's arm, "This isn't your fault. Just because you...kissed...Ms. Pillsbury doesn't mean you ruined the wedding."
"You should go back out there," Puck said quietly, "Everyone saw you run out, they'll get confused because you didn't go with Mr. Schue, so you need to find the groom and just figure this all out, alright?"
"And don't mention the kiss," I added, "At least not today."
Finn gave a stiff nod and ran out of the bathroom.
I was about to follow when Puck grabbed my arm. I turned, "Yeah?"
"Honestly, do you think that's why Ms. Pillsbury left?" he whispered as if anyone could hear us.
I bit my lip, "I don't know, I've never been in her shoes, but I would guess that had to be a part of it."
Puck nodded, "I was thinking the same thing. What was Finn thinking? Sure, she's kinda pretty and he's lonely, but look at all the cougars around town, they are..."
I raised my eyebrows.
He cleared his throat and ran a hand around his neck, "Is it hot in here? Or is it just me?"
I smirked at his blush, "It's actually me."
He chuckled and chased me from the room.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Blaine and Kurt sang as Puck and I danced around with Sam and Brittany, just like a couple weeks ago.
"Isn't Sarah pretty?" Brittany asked Sam.
He nodded and spun her around, "Just as pretty as you."
Puck lifted me up, "I think she's the prettiest girl here."
I giggled as he set me down, "Stop."
He quickly kissed me, "I'm gonna get something to drink, you want anything?"
"Water's fine," I smiled.
Sam followed Puck while Brittany leaned in close to me, "What'd Puck get you?"
I shook my head, "Nothing. At least, nothing yet; there's still a couple hours left of the holiday."
"Sam got me this bracelet," Brittany held up her wrist where a pretty, silver chain with different colored jewels dangled.
"That's amazing," I smiled, "I got Puck that tie clip he's wearing. It's engraved with his name on the front and Nathan's birthday on the back. Marley gave me the idea."
"I bought Sam two dozen chap sticks and wrote interesting facts on each one," Brittany stated, "It took a long time and almost all of my brain power."
"Oh," I nodded, "Cool."
I turned when I felt a familiar pair of lips on my neck, "Hey baby," Puck whispered.
I laughed, "Hey."
He passed me a glass of water, "I got you a cupcake too."
"Thanks," I led him to our table that we were sharing with Finn, Rachel, Santana, and Quinn. I sat in my seat and took a bite out of the dessert, "Did you get one? It's really good," I said after swallowing.
Puck ran his thumb on the side of my lips to get a stray piece of frosting, "No, but maybe I'll try one in a little bit."
I shrugged, "Ok."
Suddenly, Puck held up a long black box, "Happy Valentine's Day."
I shakily took a sip of water before grabbing the box. I could feel Puck's eyes on me as I opened it. Inside was a short chain designed for bracelets with four hearts dangling from it. I lifted them up and smiled. The first one read, "Anniversary ~ 9/16/11." The second was, "Noah ~ 8/17/93." On the third, "Beth ~ 6/8/10." And finally on the fourth, "Nathan ~ 1/3/13."
"It's like a calendar," Puck said softly, "I saw a nurse at the hospital wearing one and thought you might like it. I know you already-"
"I love it," I reached forward and pulled him in for a hug, "I love you. Thank you."
He quickly kissed my temple, "You are very welcome."
I tried staying in his arms, safe, for another minute, but Rachel and Kurt had other plans.
"You two have to sing!" Kurt said while falling into the seat on my side.
Rachel nodded and sat next to Puck, "Noah, I haven't heard you sing in forever; you too, Sarah. Please."
Puck caught my eye and shook his head, "No thanks."
I bit my lip, "I don't know what song we'd sing."
Kurt pulled out his iPod, "I picked it out and I know you two have both heard it before so you can't say no."
I glanced at the screen, I did know the song.
Puck grabbed the iPod and groaned, "Damn."
Rachel squealed, "So will you sing? It is your glee assignment, Sarah."
I reluctantly stood and held out my hand, "Come on, they won't stop until we agree."
"Ugh," Puck ran a hand over his face before standing, "If I screw this up-"
"You won't," Kurt clapped him on the back, "Go, go, go!"
Puck and I made our way to the stage and slowly walked up. I could feel everyone's eyes on us.
"I haven't sung in front of a crowd in months," Puck muttered while adjusting the microphone.
I gave him a small smile, "You'll be great."
(Puck, Sarah, Both)
Don't think about tomorrow
We've only got today
There's nothing I want from you
Not a word you have to say
You are all I need
And all I can defend
All I need to hold on to
If the world should end
There's nothing else I need to know
And there's nothing
You need to pretend
If the world should end
I reached for Puck's hand which he gripped tightly as we sang to each other.
And the sky tonight is luminous
For all the wrong reasons
And every doorway is hiding something
And if this world should all come crashing down
I wouldn't care at all
And if there's no tomorrow
I'll have today again
There's no time for sorrow
When there's no such thing as time
And if the darkness will descend
Don't need a saviour or a friend
I can say I've really loved
If the world should end
We ended the song with a smile on our face. Together, we walked off stage and found a spot on the edge of the dance floor.
"You were amazing," Puck whispered in my ear as we began to slow dance to the beginning of Finn and Rachel's own song.
"And so were you," I smiled, leaning into his chest.
He spun us around, "For a second, I missed it. Glee club. I missed singing with you."
"We can sing to Nate and Beth," I suggested quietly, "I know Grace likes when you sing, too."
Puck ran his hands down my back, "Maybe we'll do that sometime then; have a mini concert."
I laughed, "Exactly."
We were silent for a minute until Puck suddenly turned us around, "Look straight behind me," he breathed.
I did and held back a gasp. I looked up at Puck, "What are they doing together? Is Quinn gay now?"
Puck rolled his eyes, "Doubt it, she's probably drunk."
I glanced behind him and snickered when Quinn did stumble over her heels, "Oh yeah, she's stoned."
Puck spun around so he could get his own look, "I wouldn't say stoned exactly, just a little tipsier than she can handle. I should probably check on her."
I stayed quiet and watched my feet knowing he didn't love her like he did me, but that he just wanted to make sure she was ok.
The song ended and Puck kissed the top of my head, "Be right back." Yet just as he was starting to walk away, Santana dragged Quinn out of the reception hall. A second later, Artie and a girl in a wheel chair followed with Kurt and Blaine on their tail. Jake and Marley left the room holding hands as were Finn and Rachel.
I froze in place, "What are they doing back together?"
"Quinn's gay?" Puck asked himself.
"And Kurt and Blaine!" I stared at the door.
"How did I not realize that my girlfriend was a lesbian?" Puck stated loudly.
A couple people turned at his voice and I tugged him to a corner, "Shh, people are going to start actually listening to you and rumors could start. What's gonna happen when Quinn's not gay but people think she is because of you?"
Puck shook his head, "I don't get it. What is wrong with me? I attract lesbians."
I shoved him, "Shut up."
He blinked and suddenly smirked, "Do you know what time it is?"
I shook my head no.
Puck grabbed my hand and started pulling me from the room, "It's time for a little something I call my special talent."
I laughed as he led me into an elevator, "Really?"
"Yeah," he breathed against my neck where he began to plant a dozen kisses, "And I swear you'll enjoy it."
"Could we take it slow?" I whispered.
"Of course, angel," Puck pushed me against the wall to gain advantage.
I smirked while dragging his face up to be even with mine, "If I'm the angel, are you the devil?"
"I'll be whatever you want me to be," he countered.
I burst into a fit of laughter as the doors slid open. Puck swooped me in his arms and carried me to our room. He adjusted me so he could pull out the room key. As the door clicked open, I heard laughter and many other noises that I'd like to forget coming from surrounding rooms.
"Guess it's sex night for everyone," Puck said while carrying me in the room. He kicked the door shut before tossing me on the bed.
"Romantic," I teased.
He raised his eyebrows, "Should have said something; I would have covered the place in rose petals."
I shook my head and motioned him over, "I don't care about that, but what I do care about is that my fiancé gets his shirt off before I tear it from him."
"Oh, fiancé," Puck nodded while removing he jacket and tie, "Sounds nice."
I smiled and showed him the ring, "I'm pretty lucky."
He tore of his shirt, snapping a few buttons, and pounced on me, "Well then, Future Mrs. Puckerman, let's get this show on the road."

A/N: I really loved this episode and hope I did it justice. What'd you think? Puck and Sarah's song was If the World Should End from Spiderman on Broadway. I know I've had a lot of Sarah's P.O.V., but it'll eventually go back to everyone else, this was just how I pictured the chapters, so I hope you don't mind. I'm so excited for Glee this week and for all to come! PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I love to hear all your thoughts!
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Tyra - Thanks a million!
dance-sing-live - I think your We've Got Tonite question's answered in the last couple paragraphs, if you get what I mean (plus it will be answered next chapter as well). And if you ever have any other song suggestions or anything, just PM me, you don't have to wait for an update. Thanks for it all!

Sneak Peak: "We were in room 206," he answered, "That's two rooms away from you." "Who was in 208 then?" I leaned against the counter. Blaine stood next to me and looked out at everyone sitting around, "Do you know who else left together last night?"
Blaine and Sarah try and figure out what happened last night!
