Quinn's POV
I wake up with Puck's arms still wrapped around me, I turn and face him and can see that he is still sound asleep. I kiss his lips lightly and watch as he stirs, I do it again and watch as a smile spreads across his face. "Good morning"
"Morning" his voice is groggy with sleep and I kiss him one last time before getting up. "Where are you going?" He sits up slightly and I suddenly feel self conscious, I stand naked before him with the morning sunlight shining on me.
"I am going to go get our daughter up" I pick up Puck's shirt that lays on the floor and I put it on along with my underwear, I walk out of the room and make my way over to Beth's room. I find her wide awake in her crib, she smiles when she sees me. "Did you let us sleep?" She giggles as I pick her up. I take her out into the kitchen and start making breakfast for Beth, a short while later Puck comes out and kisses the top of my head. He sits down and starts to eat and I join them.
"Was she awake when you got her up?"
"Yeah, she was very good this morning and let us sleep" Puck tickles her the sound of her giggles fills the room.
"I've got to say, wearing my shirt makes you look incredibly sexy" I laugh
"It was the only thing I saw on the floor that I could trow on quickly, but thank you" I lean over to kiss him when there is a knock on the door, we both share a confused look "Who could that be?"
"I don't know, but I'll go check" Puck gets up and looks out the window as I wash Beth's face off from her breakfast. "Shit" I hear him mutter
"What?"
"It's the social worker" I stand up quickly and race over to the window to see for myself.
"Shit" There is another knock on the door and Puck shares the same look of terror that I have on my face.
"You need to go get dressed and I'll answer the door" I race to the bedroom and throw anything I can find on, after I am dressed in God knows what I speed back to the kitchen to clean up, I can hear Puck talking to her, trying to stall her as long as he can. "I didn't expect you here"
"Yes, that is exactly why it is a surprise visit. Is this a bad time?"
"No, this is a great time"
"Okay, can I come in?" I throw the rest of the dishes into the dishwasher and race over to the door with Beth in my arms.
"Yes, come right on in" She follows us inside and takes a seat on the couch, we both sit in the chairs across from her and I set Beth down on the floor the play. "Sorry for the mess"
"Oh no it's okay, I get it" She motions to Beth and I let out a nervous laugh, I can't help remembering what she kept telling us the last time she was here. The only rule and we managed to break it last night. "So, how have things been?"
"Great! So great"
"Yeah, Beth has been walking and talking, it's really been keeping us busy"
"And we have been taking her to lots of different places, we all have been having fun" I smile over at Puck and he looks back at me with a loving gaze. In high school I may have regretted it but I couldn't imagine having a baby with anyone else, I couldn't imagine loving anyone else but him.
"Oh my God, you two had sex" I snap out of it and focus my attention back to her, was it really that obvious?
"What?"
"No we didn't" We both try to cover up what we did, deny that anything happened between us when it so clearly did.
"Yes you did, it's written all over your faces"
"Okay fine, yes we did, but that is no way will effect our ability to be parents to Beth"
"It better not, that little girl needs you two most right now, no matter what is going on in your personal lives you just need to push all that crap aside and give all your attention to her"
"We both just want what is best for Beth, we have been working really well together and we will not let this change anything in regards to her" I look back at Puck to let him know that I mean it, I love him but I love Beth more and I don't want to jeopardize her stability, but I also want to let him know that what happened between us means something.
"I couldn't let that happen, I love her too much"
"Okay, it's good to know you are both on the same page with that but all I can say is either get your crap together and get married or forget anything ever happened because it will not be good if you two have a messy breakup, she can't be getting in this middle of all your problems"
"We won't let that happen"
"I'll be back one more time before you two legally adopt her, when I come here next I want to see that everything is figured out between the two of you"
"Okay" She walks out the door and it leaves me feeling exhausted, Puck stands by the door longer than needed and I already know her comment about marriage freaked him out.
"Puck, I think we should talk" My voice travels through the house, he walks over to me and I prepare for him to tell me last night was a mistake, that he isn't ready to get married and we should just pretend it didn't happen.
"Quinn..."
"No, it's okay. I already know what you are going to say"
"No you don't"
"Just please don't make me have to hear it"
"Quinn will you just let me talk" he laughs, why would he be laughing at a time like this? "I close my mouth and still brace for the worst. "I don't want to forget what happened, I love you and I love Beth and I want us to be a family" he gets down on one knee.
"Oh my God, Puck"
"Let me finish"
"Don't, I don't want to get married, I mean at least not for now"
"And neither do I, I just want to make a promise to you, both of you right here right now. So Lucy Quinn Fabray, will you let me propose to you again when the time is right and when I have a real ring? Will you marry me someday? And will you raise our daughter with me?"
"I thought you would never ask" He laughs and stands up and takes my face into his hands kissing me.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yes" I kiss him again. "I never thought you would eventually want to get married"
"Of course I do, I mean we have a life together now and I never thought of marrying anyone besides you"
"So is this a proposal for an engagement"
"Basically, we don't have to get married now but I hope we get married before this little monkey turns five"
"Okay, so we are really going to do this someday"
"I wouldn't want it any other way" He kisses me one more time and I don't worry at all, right now I have everything I could ever need, a future fiancee and our daughter.
