A Child's Faith
Chapter 2: Quinn Talks To Elizabeth
Burt and Carole were at the cemetery to visit Finn's grave when they heard Quinn yelling, "I'm not Rachel or Burt, Elizabeth! I want Puck to wake up so bad I can't stand it!" As they got closer, they saw Blaine and Kurt standing behind Quinn, as she was still yelling. Then Blaine says to Burt, "She and Tracie were kicked out of the hospital for yelling at Puck. Tracie is still with Puck and Santana is watching her. Quinn has been yelling at Elizabeth's grave for three hours. She was yelling for Tracie at first, comparing Puck to you. Then their relationship to the one you had with Elizabeth. Then, before you walked up, she was saying what Tracie said yesterday before we left."
Soon Quinn was kicking Elizabeth's headstone as she screamed, "I named my daughter Elizabeth, not Beth! Then I gave her up! I'm not giving up on Puck!" Before falling to her knees crying. Then Burt picks Quinn up and holds her in his arms as he says, "You're right, Quinn. You are not me or Rachel. By the way, Puck is not like his dad. He is a good man. You just got to hang in there, okay?" Then Kurt takes her to her car and drives her back to the hospital.
As soon as they enter Noah's hospital room, Tracie throws a book across the room, and Quinn is the one that notices it was a Sleeping Beauty storybook. Then Tracie screams, "Why would Mama Rachel give me that book for my birthday? Walt Disney is a big meanie! I can't read this without thinking of Uncle Nono! I want my best friend to wake the hell up! It's been a month! Nono's mama is right! How did Grandpa Burt not go crazy when Nana Beth was here?" Then, as the others come into the room, Quinn takes Noah's hand, and she sings "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes.
(Quinn)
How do I...get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I?
How do I?
Oh, how do I live?
Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, oh, baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I?
How do I?
Oh, how do I live?
Please tell me, baby
How do I go on?
If you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby, don't you know that you're everything good in my life?
And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I?
How do I?
Oh, how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live?
Then, without looking at the others, she says, "I just want Mr. H here. I know we planned to have Tracie's party here, but I can't deal with this, and I see Tracie's not up for that either. You don't think we didn't hear you guys talking about Puck? You are the reason we are losing hope. Mr. H is the only one that doesn't think Puck will die." Then Quinn glares at Carole as she repeats, "Mr. H is the only one who doesn't think Puck will die!" Then she goes back to staring at Noah as she says, "I know Finn's dad died and left Mrs. H to raise Finn alone. But she moved on, just like Rachel did. For God's sake, Puck is my person. Now leave us alone!" Soon, the others walk out, and Carole tries to apologize, but Quinn just ignores her.
After the others leave, Burt says, "I lost a lot of my friends because they were saying the same things about Elizabeth. Ha, I got thrown out for yelling at Norah at least five times since they brought in Puck. Tracie told me she asked Rachel for a Hulk doll with a mohawk." Then takes a bag out from under Noah's bed and shows Quinn a Hulk with a mohawk. Then Quinn goes to the bathroom and comes out with a matching Hulk doll as she says, "I think I will keep mine now and give it to this baby..." Then she looks at Noah as she says, "I told him the night we broke up. We started fighting about Beth and then I said he was no better than his dad. I, I hope this baby is a boy, for Puck's sake." Then, as Norah quietly walks in with Rachel and Beth. Quinn cries as she sings "Forever Love," by Reba McEntire.
(Quinn)
The first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew,
We'd spend this life side by side.
I still feel the same though you're so far away,
I swear that you'll always be my...
Forever love
I promise you,
Someday we'll be together,
Forever love.
I won't give up.
No matter what...
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love...
Minutes and hours and years may go by,
But my heart knows nothing of time.
So don't cry, just keep me right there in your dreams.
And hold on to these words of mine...
Forever love
I promise you,
Someday we'll be together,
Forever love.
I won't give up.
No matter what...
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love...
...is a road to our destiny,
Nothing can change what is meant to be...
Forever love...
I won't give up.
No matter what...
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love...
I'll be waiting for you
Forever love...
Forever love...
The moment Quinn saw Rachel and Beth, she broke down. As Beth tries to hug Quinn, she pushes her away and yells, "I heard you tell Tracie that Puck will never wake up, Beth!" Then she makes Beth look at Noah as she yells, "I'm your mother, Beth, and Puck is your father! That is your father in that bed! We're the deadbeat parents that gave you up! Yes, I heard every word! Tracie even tried to tell you that she knew that! Tracie and Mr. H, are the only two people I can stand to be around. Because they don't talk about wishing Puck was dead! Puck and I were too young to raise you! That's why we gave you up! I'm not giving up on Puck! Rachel used to call Kurt's stepbrother Finn her person. Now she is with Jesse! When I say Puck is my person, I really mean it. Now get the hell out of here before I let Tracie or Mr. H yell at you!" Beth says nothing and looks at Noah as she leaves with tears in her eyes.
Then Quinn picks up her Hulk doll and grips it as Burt gives Tracie the other one. Tracie put her doll in Noah's arms and says, "Nono wants to name his son Burt Finn Puckerman, and if the baby is a girl, after Nana Beth. He told me that night we couldn't sleep." Then she looks at the Sleeping Beauty book as she says, "If Nono is asleep, as long as Princess Aurora was. I'll help your baby believe he'll wake up. If your son falls for me, we can really be a family, and if your son is like Dada, we all know Nono will be worse than Grandpa Burt." Then Quinn says to Burt, "You will be this baby's grandpa too, and it doesn't matter what this baby is. Boy, girl, gay, straight, or whatever. You are this baby's grandpa. I know my dad will be his grandpa, but with Puck's dad not being in his life."
Then Burt hugs Quinn and says, "If you have a son like Kurt. I hope he doesn't do what Kurt did." This made Quinn chuckle, and Tracie said, "Aunt Beth said I might do what Queenie did." Soon they heard Rachel yell, "Tracie is my daughter Beth, and I know for a fact you did that twice! I also know that you aborted both babies! Now, go before I tell Shelby!" Before she enters the room, still fuming.
