******************************************************************************
Awkward Conversations
Sabrina looked in the living room. There was Puck watching TV with a large bowl of popcorn on his lap. It was now or never. She had to tell Puck sometime, and it would be better to tell him while he was eating. Puck always seemed to be in a better mood when there was food in front of him.
Sabrina walked into the living room. Puck turned his head and smiled.
"Hey! You're just in time! The show's starting!" he said patting the sofa cushion next to him.
"Puck, I need to talk to you," she said still standing.
"This can't be good," Puck said, "The last time you said those words, you were leaving for college."
"Um… no, it's good. At least I think it's good. If you don't think it's good, then that's fine, but I think it's good. I mean…"
"Sabrina," Puck interrupted, "You're babbling. Are you okay?"
Sabrina sighed. "It's just that this is kind of difficult for me to say."
"Just do what I do. Be blunt and to the point," he said as he continued to munch on popcorn, "It'll be like ripping off a band-aid."
"Okay," she said. "Puck, I'm pregnant."
Puck's expression stayed the same. "What does that mean?"
"What does what mean?" Sabrina asked confused by Puck's reaction.
"That word. Pregnant." Puck said chewing, "Is it some sort of illness?"
Sabrina was in pure shock. "Puck, you're over four thousand years old and you took high school biology with me. How could you not know what that word means?!!
Puck shrugged. "I must've fallen asleep that day in class."
Sabrina sighed and sat down. "It means that I'm going to have a baby."
Puck spit out the popcorn in his mouth and stayed still as stone for a while. Sabrina watched her husband and worried a bit after he didn't move. This was more like the reaction that she had expected. He looked to be in shock. Finally, he turned his head toward Sabrina.
"Are you sure?" he whispered.
"Um..yeah. I'm sure," she said.
Puck said nothing more. Instead, he got up off the couch and walked towards the door. He grabbed his coat and turned to Sabrina.
"I'm going out," he said, "I'll be back soon."
Sabrina stared back, speechless, as Puck walked out the door.
****************************************************************************
It started to snow as Puck made his way through the air. He knew that he shouldn't have left Sabrina like that, but there was something that he had to do. There was someone that he had to talk to. He could've at least told Sabrina that he was only going to Granny's house, but his mind was clouded from the bomb shell that she had just laid on him. That sort of news never made a man think strait.
As he approached the house, he landed on the snowy ground. The wind had picked up, and he couldn't fly at the moment. He reached the house and banged his fist hard on the door. Soon, he heard the clicking sound of locks being removed. Veronica Grimm stood at the doorway. Unfortunately, this was not the Grimm that he had wanted to talk to.
"Puck?" she said astonished, "Come in! You look like death."
Veronica herded Puck into the house and took his coat. Puck walked over to the dining room to see the rest of the household munching somberly at three pizzas. Puck stopped at the doorway when the family's heads turned to him.
"Henry?" he said addressing Sabrina's father, "Can I talk to you?"
Henry stood up and wiped his mouth. "Excuse me," he said. He took Puck and led him upstairs.
***************************************************************************
Henry opened the door to Sabrina and Daphne's old room and sat down on the bed.
"What did you want to talk to me about, Puck?" Henry asked.
"Sabrina's pregnant," Puck said bluntly.
Henry was unfazed. "So, I suppose you came here to rub it in my face that I'll be a grandfather?" he asked.
Puck didn't even take the bait. "No! I came here for help!"
Henry was shocked. Puck needed his help.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Puck looked the man in the eyes. "Henry you've known me for like ten years! You know how irresponsible I am!"
"So? Most men are immature when they find out their about to become fathers," Henry said, "Suck it up like the rest of us have."
"Henry, I can't be a father." Puck said, "It seems like my entire life has been organized so that I will be a terrible parent."
"Oh, really now enlighten me," Henry said.
"My father was never even a father," Puck said, "He was a king and nothing more. He made sure to never do anything that a parent would do. He wasn't anything to me. What kind example does that give me?
"Since then, my life has been just one big childhood. I was immature for 4,000 years! That's a long time to compare against the ten years where I did mature. I grew up a little when I fell in love with Sabrina, but certainly not enough for parenthood! Now, stop staring at me like I'm an idiot and help me!!"
"Are you done yet?" Henry asked.
"Yeah."
"Then here's what I have to say," He said, "First off, your father problems have nothing to do with how you'll be as a father. If you think it matters, then just do the opposite of what your father would do."
"So far I like this plan," Puck asked with a shadow of a smile.
Henry rolled his eyes. "As for your immaturity, that isn't anything new. Sabrina saw through your immaturity, and I trust my daughter's judgment most of the time. So, if you thought that you were mature enough to marry my daughter, then you'd better be mature enough to handle a kid too."
Puck stared at Henry for a while just taking in what the man had said. He looked at the man with a sort of new- found pride. Perhaps he would wait a while before pranking Henry again. Nah, Henry had a thorn in his side since he had found out that Puck was in love with Sabrina.
Puck exhaled a long breath. "Thanks."
"Going back home?" Henry asked.
"Yeah, I should get back."
Henry paused. "Just one more thing," he said, "Pregnant women tend to have very wild emotions. Now I hate to admit it when I say that Sabrina inherited my temper. So, maybe you should stay a little longer."
****************************************************************************
After a VERY awkward conversation on what women were like when they were pregnant, Puck sat on the bed with his mouth wide open.
"So, uh, what's the good part of being a father?" he asked.
Henry grinned. "You'll find out later. It'll come to you."
"Oh, yeah. That's helpful." Puck said sarcastically.
"Just go already," Henry said motioning Puck to the door.
Puck started for the door and turned back around. "I think I know one of the good things of being a father."
"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Henry asked.
Puck smiled. "I'll get to call you Grandpa!"
With that, he walked out of the room and slammed the door just as Henry came after him.
******************************************************************************
Puck had to go home, walking, in the snow. He wouldn't be surprised if he stopped moving and became a fairy snowman. Of course, this cold was nothing compared to the time that he had been frozen in the liquid from his glop grenades. It had been a terrible combination of ice and stink. Then, to top it off, he was given a BATH!! Blech!!
When he did reach home, he was glad to see that the lights were still on in the house. Puck unlocked everything and stepped inside of his warm house. Taking off his coat, he heard the unfortunate sound of tears.
"Sabrina?"
"Puck?"
Puck looked into the living room to find Sabrina right where she had been when he left. She had obviously been crying. Her face was red and a mountain of tissues was around her.
"Why are you crying?" Puck asked
Sabrina sniffed. "I…don't ...know…I just…can't…stop," she said as she started to cry again.
"It's okay," he said comforting her, "I'll have you smiling in no time. I always do!"
Sabrina sniffed and blew into her tissue. "Okay."
"Now, let's clean up this mess before you create a shortage of tissues in Ferryport Landing."
Sabrina laughed. "I didn't use that many tissues."
"No, but I got you smiling again," Puck said with his trademark smile.
The two attempted to clean the overly messy sofa even though Puck really wasn't much for cleaning. When they were done, they sat down on the couch together.
"So, are you okay?" Sabrina asked, "You didn't seem that happy when you left."
"Yeah, I'm fine." Puck said kissing the top of her head.
"Where did you go?"
"To your grandmother's house," he answered, "I went to talk to your dad."
"Oh, no."
"It didn't go that bad." Puck assured her, "Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!"
"What?" Sabrina asked.
"You're mom gave me Alice's address before I left. I figure that we can do some snooping tomorrow."
"But, isn't Granny's trial tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah, this makes it perfect snooping time! Alice will be at the trial."
Sabrina sighed. "Okay."
That night the two of them watched TV and ate popcorn as they tried not to concentrate on the drama of Granny's trial the next day.
