Hey guys, thought I'd give you one last update before I go back to educational prison aka, grade 12 * shudders*. Enjoy. One more thing, Boris Yeltsin, in his last review, spoke about Rachel practicing for when her and Finn's kid comes along. So, Mr. Yeltsin, thanks for the idea and please enjoy!
'' Alright buddy, I'm gonna throw this to ya real lightly, once you catch it run like the Flash to the pool gate 'kay?''
'' Sure thing daddy'' Storm said saluting his father.
'' That's my little private, now go long'' Puck lightly threw a children's football towards his child. Recently, Storm had decided to follow in his father's footsteps and had started playing peewee football.
He wasn't that bad either, however according to Quinn, the kid had his father's temper and was known by his teammates as Eruption because of it. She also said his team had scored 3 touchdowns all season.
Storm caught the ball and ran to the pool gate but accidentally ran into it.
The boy began to wail as his father ran to him.
'' Storm, buddy are you ok?'' Puck asked.
'' N-no, I taste metal.''
Puck knew what that meant, the inside of the child's mouth was bleeding.
Quinn dashed outside with Thomas at the rear.
'' Noah, what happened?'' Quinn asked, fear and terror in her eyes.
'' He went for the ball but he went head first into the pool gate. He doesn't seem to have a concussion but he tastes '' metal .''
'' Oh crap, hold on baby, mommy's calling 911.''

An hour later, the parents were sitting with their other son in the waiting room of Sue Sylvester memorial hospital. The former coach had had a hospital erected in her honor, or because of her ego, depended who you asked.
'' I knew this was a bad idea. Gah, the kid has potential but he's not coordinated. Dammit, why didn't I ask him to rush to the bushes?'' Puck sighed.
'' Hey Maverick'' Quinn snapped her fingers. '' It happens, the kid's a Puckerman, he's almost indestructible. Also from what your mom told me you didn't start off as a ninja either.''
Thomas hopped off his mother's lap and clutched his father's leg.
'' Tommy? What're you doing bud?''
'' It'll be ok, Storm's strong'' the child said hugging his father.
'' Thanks bud. This kid, he's his mommy's boy'' Puck smiled as he hugged his youngest child.
'' And Storm's his daddy's boy'' Quinn smiled, resting her head on his shoulder.
Soon a handsome Latino doctor emerged, Storm next to him with a bandage on the bridge of his nose, an eyepatch and two green lollipops.
'' Mrs. Puckerman, as usual you look amazing'' the doctor said.
'' Oh Doctor Nichols'' Quinn smiled, blushing.
'' Watch it pal. So, what's up with our kid?'' Puck asked.
Quinn gave him a dirty look.
'' Well Mr. Puckerman-
'' Sergeant Puckerman. I didn't spray lead into enemy soldiers in Helmand for nothing'' Puck corrected him.
'' Well Sergeant. Your son is fine. He has a black eye but he should be able to sleep fine, however he will need to wear the patch for the next week or so. He has however broken his nose, not to worry though, it should heal within a few weeks. Until then, no football.''
'' What? But I'm the full back!'' Storm protested.
'' Storm! We do not speak to people that way. Say sorry'' Quinn lectured.
'' Sorry Dr. Nichols'' the boy said.
'' It's fine, I personally enjoy children who has spunk. Also if I may ask when last did you two have a date?''
The pair thought about it.
'' I'd say about 3 months, why?'' Puck answered.
'' Well it's very healthy for most married couples to go out a lot. I myself go out with my husband weekly'' Dr Nichols explained.

That night the family were eating a Puck special; takeout pizza from Dominoes.
'' You know he's not wrong'' Puck said.
'' Could you be more specific?'' Quinn responded.
'' Dr. Guac. We don't get much time to spend with each other. I mean with my military career and your kindergarten teaching. Also with the boys, we never go out anymore.''
'' Noah, we're both working parents, we don't have time. But I do agree. Friday night, Angelo's pizza and grill?''
'' Deal'' Puck smiled. '' Ah crap'' he said.
'' Daddy said a bad word'' Thomas pointed out.
'' Yes he did Tommy. Don't worry mommy will wash out his mouth later.''
'' Wow, ratted out by my kid and punished by my wife. The American dream. What I meant was, that we don't have a sitter.''
A smile crept onto Quinn's face and she grinned.

'' I never got this game. What's it about again?''
'' First off its not a game its Fortnite, it's the greatest thing of all time.''
'' Hold on. Hello?''
'' Hey, Rachy it's Quinn.''
'' Hey Quinn, how're you?''
'' We're fine. Storm got injured this afternoon but he's fine.''
'' Poor kid, how is he?''
'' Fine, like I said, he just has a broken nose and a black eye. No concussion thank Gd. Anyway, I need a favor from you and Finn.''
'' Sure, anything.''
'' What're you doing Friday?''
'' Probably hurling my guts out until I become white as a sheet, why?''
'' Ah morning sickness. The twins made me lose like 10 pounds from it. Anyway, Noah and I are off to Angelo's for date night. We need babysitters and since you two are expecting, who better than you two?''
'' Ok, what time?-
'' Six thirty.''
Quinn hung up and high fived her husband.
Finn however was still playing Fortnite.
'' Hey babe who was that?'' Finn asked.
'' Quinn. She and Puck are going out Friday and they need sitters. They recruited us.''
'' Wow ok. Neve been in charge of someone else's kid before but ok. What time?''
'' 6 30, from the sound of it, Quinn wasn't going to take no for an answer.''
'' Well, that's Quinn for ya. Her way or the high way ya know?''
'' Oh, I know. She is my best female friend after all- wait who're you texting?''
'' Kurt. I want to see his reaction when he finds out he finds out he's your 3rd favorite person'' Finn smiled as the ran away while Rachel ran behind him.

'' Alright, here's what you need to know. Storm's already taken his Ritalin and Thomas is in his room playing LEGOs. They can't have lots of sugar. Only a plastic cup of soda, no more, no less'' Puck explained.
'' Also, no TV after 7:30. And no action movies. Storm found Noah's collection of die hard flicks'' Quinn added.
'' Bed is at 8:30, they'll want a story each. but they get one for both of them. Quinn and I alternate and, there's a small chair in front of their closets. Sit on it, do not sit on one's bed, the other one'll get jealous.''
'' The stories we read are usually fairytales but recently Noah's put them on Horrid Henries. They love 'em.''
'' Guys we got this. They're 4 how hard can they be?'' Finn asked.
'' Agreed. Those two are the sweetest little boys in the world.''
Quinn and Puck looked at each other before laughing out loud.
'' You guys are hilarious, see ya soon'' Puck said, slapping Finn on the back as he and Quinn got into Puck's truck.
Finn and Rachel entered the house and saw Storm in his and Thomas' room, playing with his brother.
'' Hey guys'' Finn said.
'' Uncle Finn!'' the duo squealed as the hugged the man.
'' Hey, do I get any love?'' Rachel quipped.
The two boys took the hint and hugged their godmother.
'' Aunt- -Achel?'' Thomas asked.
'' Yeh Tommy?''
'' Where're my mommy and daddy?''
'' They went out but –
'' Are they coming back?'' Storm asked.
'' Of course, they are. They love you too much to ever leave. But tonight, you get to stick with us. How fun is that?'' Finn asked.
The two boys shrieked with excitement.
'' Jeez, Kurt's quieter than those two'' Rachel whispered.
Soon the pair had ordered the two children Dominoes pizza. They had been told before hand via text from Quinn that it was their favorite food.''
'' Alright, one Hawaiian, one Regina, Tommy, Storm, what're you in the mood for?'' Finn asked as he spoke to the restaurant.
'' Cheese'' Tommy said.
'' Peroni'' Storm added.
'' Sorry bud, what's peroni ?'' Rachel asked bending over.
'' Sausage, its spicy'' the child explained.
'' Oh pepperoni'' Finn said. '' Coming up kiddo.''
Finn placed the order and soon after, he went to Dominoes and picked up the Italian dishes.
The group were now tucking into their food at the table.
'' So, your mom and dad tell us you guys are in pre-k, how cool is that?'' Rachel said.
The boys looked at each other.
'' What's wrong guys?'' Finn asked.
'' Tommy likes school, I don't '' Storm explained.
'' It's fun. I wanna be a teacher like mommy'' Thomas added.
'' I wanna be in the army like daddy'' Storm said.
'' Wow, cool dreams. Hey, do you guys know what uncle Finn does for a job?'' Rachel asked.
The children shook their heads.
'' I'm a teacher'' Finn answered.
Thomas looked at him amazed.
Storm just ate his food.

An hour later, the couple had put on a movie for the twins, the two boys lay on their stomachs as they gazed at the movie.
'' I don't get this, so the Rock isn't the bad guy?'' Finn asked.
'' No, he's the demi-god. My Gd, he could take me away on the seas'' Rachel said.
Finn looked at the children, they were entranced by the film. Since the Puckermans had forbade action flicks, comedy was too sophisticated for two 4-year-olds, romance would make them squeal, drama was boring and horror would ensure that they'd be paying for therapy bills until the boys graduated their senior year…of college. Thus the best option; DISNEY.
Finn then looked at Rachel, who had rested her head on Finn's shoulder. The man rubbed her stomach, she had begun showing recently which was a good sign, they hadn't made it this far the last two times.
The man couldn't help but smile, he couldn't wait to have this in a few months.
Once the film had finished, the couple made the twins put on their pajamas, Thomas' had yellow rulers on them whilst Storm's had camo print on it.
The twins then brushed their teeth, under supervision of course as even though they weren't parents yet, Rachel and Finn new all too well how much children loved hygiene.
The pair then tucked the children into their respective beds.
'' Alright, story time, who's ready?'' Rachel asked as she sat on Storm's bed.
Thomas began to well up and then started bawling.
'' Tommy, bud I'm so sorry, I'll go sit with uncle Finn, how's that?''
'' F-fine'' Thomas sniffed.
Rachel lent on her husband's head as he began to read one of the books Puck had prescribed.
-x-
'' Morning sleepyheads'' came a voice.
'' Huh? What?'' Finn asked, shooting up.
'' Wait, we're still here?'' Rachel asked groggily.
Quinn chuckled. '' Yep. You never left, I guess Horrid Henry tricks the tooth fairy puts you to sleep.''
'' Wait, we slept here?'' Finn asked getting up then extending his hand for Rachel.
'' Yep. Found you asleep on the floor, I wanted to leave you like you were but Quinn put a blanket over you guys. Guess we should've prepped for guests'' Puck laughed.
Quinn flicked him.
'' Oh, crap we fell asleep babysitting, who does that'' Rachel asked.
Quinn shushed her. '' Not so loud, getting both of them to sleep at the same time is impossible.''
'' True. Getting them to sleep as kids was my Afghanistan, and I've been in Afghanistan'' Puck added.
Soon the two couples were out on the patio having coffee.
'''What's wrong with us?'' Finn asked.
'' Excuse me?'' Puck asked.
'' We fell asleep looking after kids who aren't even ours. We're so not ready to be parents'' Rachel whined, her head in her hands.
Puck snorted.
'' Problem, Puckerman?'' Finn asked, slight anger in his voice.
'' Yeah. Your wife thinks she's ready. Newsflash Hudson, no-one's ready'' Puck responded.
'' Elaborate'' Rachel squinted.
'' No-one's ever ready to become a parent you two, we weren't. I assumed I'd be ok since I'd given birth before but boy was I wrong. When those two were born Noah and I questioned if we should've just gotten tubal litigation'' Quinn explained, sipping her herbal tea.
'' Wait so we didn't do anything wrong?'' Finn asked.
'' Not a chance. Those two adore you two. Now that Thomas knows two teachers, I'm pretty sure he'll start looking up the requirements for a teacher'' Puck said, rolling his eyes.
'' Look you two, you're the most caring people I've ever met. You'll be great parents, now get out of here, its Sunday and if I know Finn, you still have papers to grade'' Quinn winked.
Hey!'' Finn said.
'' Is she wrong?'' Rachel smirked.
Finn stood up and walked towards the back door.
'' Hey, where're you going?'' Puck asked.
'' To get my keys. I have to do my wife's implied bidding'' Finn chuckled.
Ah Finn, such fun. Thanks for reading guys. I figured you deserved another chapter before I go back to grade 12, term 2 * author shudders*. I always pictured Rachel and Finn doubting themselves, they're both really insightful characters. Originally I was going to make them babysit Caroline but I felt this would be more interesting.
As usual, take care, stay safe and stay awesome!
