AN: Woot Woot an update. Thank you to everyone who has either favourited, followed or is doing both and thank you to all the reviewers. Now on with the story.


"So you're the infamous Ray Puckerman - Berry. My daughter is disenchanted with you."

Ray kept quiet knowing that the older man wasn't asking any questions as of yet.

"Yes she mentioned that you had threatened her yesterday."

'Ah there it is' Ray thought to herself.

"Yes sir I did but, not with physical harm. Tell me, did you know that your daughter used to bully me everyday two years ago? How she made my life a living hell simply because of the clothes I wore? Granted they were hideous but that gave her no right to call me names, to torment me and have me slushied. Your daughter confronted me twice yesterday. I simply stood up to your daughter and threatened to expose a few truths about her that she simply does not want the student body to know. Honestly I wont actually say anything, but she doesn't know that and I'm hoping it will change how she treats people. I'm not a violent person Mr. Lopez but, if your daughter continues to harass and attack me, I will defend myself."

"Understood. I will be having a long discussion with my daughter tonight. Thank you for your honesty Ray."

Dr. Lopez left the room leaving Ray alone for the moment to gather her thoughts. Sighing she followed him out a minute later and met up with Quinn at the nurses station. Carole was already there fussing over her grandchild as Quinn signed all the remaining paperwork. Ray smirked when Finn tried to hold his daughter and she cried, fussing, trying to get away from him. Quinn frowned at the scene but was unable to hold Beth and Carole was trying to talk to the doctor. Beth must have sensed Ray watching her because the tiny blonde whipped her head around to stare at Ray before throwing her arms out at Ray.

"No." Growled Finn as he held his daughter tighter.

"Really Finn?! You are going to deny your child comfort after you got her in to this position in the first place? Besides she cant be comfortable being held by your bulky cast."

Finn continued to shake his head and just as Quinn went to yell at him, Beth bit his hand. Yelping in pain, Finn let go of his daughter and if it weren't for Ray's reflexes, the little girl would have landed on the floor. Ray cradled the tiny blonde against her chest, calming Beth and soothing her cries.

"SERIOUSLY FINN! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU JUST DROPPED OUR DAUGHTER!"

"She bit me. It hurt. I-I just reacted. I'm sorry."

"You reacted by dropping my daughter?"

"Hey she's my daughter too."

"Really because in the last two hours while in your care my daughter has gotten a goose egg, had her scalp glued together and you just dropped her like she was a hot coal." Quinn paused her rant to turn and look at Ray. "Can we stay with you? I can't live with him and I fear for Beth's safety while she is alone with him."

"NO! You are not going to live with her! You are not going take my daughter to live with that freak! I wont allow it."

"You can't stop me Finn. There is a room full of witnesses here that just watched you drop your daughter with out a thought. Don't make me take you to court. If you force this, you will lose her Finn."

"I don't care. I will take you to court to prevent our daughter from living with her." Finn roared out as he pointed at Ray.

Beth began to cry as Finn yelled at Quinn. Ray began purring for the little girl again. Walking out to the parking lot away from all the chaos in the E.R., Ray called her brother.

"Go for Puck."

"Noah, I need you to contact our lawyers and get one that specializes in family law on retainer."

"Umm ok. I trust you will explain when you get home and why I am hearing what I am right now."

"Yes I'll explain why. And we will be having house guests for awhile. Call the contractor to have the gate and fence put in, and yes that will be explained too."

"Ok Ray. See you soon sis."

A few minutes of Ray walking around with Beth in her arms and purring, the tiny blonde fell asleep. The days events finally wearing her out. Ray looked up having been able to hear Finn's whining and had to stifle her laughter as Carol dragged the tall ten out of the hospital by his ear as she yelled at him for his actions and behaviour. Quinn came out a few minutes later, talking on her cell.

"Ok thank you Britt. See you in a few minutes."

Quinn finally made her way over to where Ray was standing with Beth and smiled softly at the sight of her daughter curled into Ray, fast asleep on the taller girls shoulder.

"Brittany is already on her way, bringing my car and I guess your brother and the guys are heading to Finns. We are to meet them there."

Before Ray could reply Carole came over to talk to the two girls while Finn sat in the car sulking.

"Again Ray I am so sorry for my sons behaviour."

"Carole, it's not your fault nor your place to apologize. Finn is a big boy. He knows right from wrong, you as his mother would have taught him that as a child and instilled it into him over and over again. It's his decision to act like an ignorant jerk."

"As a mother I just feel like his actions are a reflection of my parenting and who I am."

"And sometimes Carole, no matter how much a parent teaches respect and open mindedness to their child, said child is just an asshole. Sometimes they change after being taken down a few pegs."

Quinn giggled at Ray's dry tone and not so subtle implication that Finn was an asshole. Carole was also trying not to smile as well.

"Well Quinn I guess I'll see you later."

"Actually Carole, we are going to be at your house later. Some of the guys are already on their way to your house to help me move my things. I'm so sorry Carole, I just cant stay there any more. I wont be able to handle him pestering me constantly over our break up."

"I understand Quinn." Carole replied sadly.

"I'm going to leave the furniture for Beth so she has a place to sleep when she is with you. I'll take the playpen for now."

"We'll see you soon then."

The older woman got in her car with her pouting son and drove off.

"I hope that you are ok with all this Ray."

"It's fine Quinn. I would rather you be safe and comfortable and Beth be safe from harm. The house has more than enough room for the two of you."

Brittany pulled up before anything else could be said. Quinn gently extracted her sleeping daughter from Ray's arms and placed her in her car seat.

"We'll meet you back at the Hudson-Hummel house. We have to get there quick. I don't know if the guys will be able to keep Puck calm if Finn says anything stupid." Britt advised before getting back in the car and peeled out of the parking lot.

Ray hopped in her jeep and peeled out as well, speeding towards the house. Ray recalls Noah telling her that Carole was currently dating Burt Hummel last year, and apparently the had moved in together. Ray pulled in just in time to see Sam and Mike standing in front of Noah in a vain attempt to keep her brother from Finn. Getting out of the jeep, Ray hurried over at human speed to her brother.

"Noah, DON'T. Let's wait for Quinn and we will get her things and leave. Ok?"

Noah nodded and made an effort to relax. Ray noticed that once her brother had relaxed, the other two boys did as well.

Soon enough the girls had pulled up to the house and the small group of friends packed up Quinn's belongings and Ray had spoken with Kurt regarding sitting with Quinn to design and decorate both her's and Beth's room. It had only taken them two hours to get everything done. Burt had kept Finn away from everyone and Carole had stayed with Beth. Ray had assured the older woman that as long as Quinn was ok with it, she could come see Beth anytime she wanted.


Second AN Note: So as this is an on going story I'm not sure that I will be able to update as often as I write everything long hand before typing it all out. I just hope that all the followers continue to stick with it as it goes. Much Love,
