Beth adjusted uncomfortably on the exam table, trying her best to stretch the small gown her doctor had given her to wear. It had been a week since she had confided the truth in her mom, Quinn having set up an appointment immediately while helping Beth hide her secret the best they could. Both girls hated lying to Puck, the flu excuse slowly wearing thin as the days stretched on, and Quinn knew it was only a matter of time before he put the pieces together himself.

Quinn had been considerate and had yet to push Beth for any kind of details about the baby or Balen, Beth having enough to deal with at the moment. She had constantly wondered though whether Kurt or Jacob knew or if Beth and Balen had any idea as to what to do with their baby, today's appointment finally going to inform her of all those answers she had wondered about.

"Thank you," Beth said softly as she turned her head to the side, Quinn's thoughts interrupted as she turned to face her daughter.

"Of course," she replied while squeezing Beth's hand, "It's what I'm here for." Beth rested her head back as she sighed, closing her eyes and praying that there was some mistake and that the vomiting and exhaustion had actually all been some sort of illness.

"Ms. Puckerman?" Both girls turned to see the doctor walking in, smiling sweetly with Beth's file in hand, "Hi I'm Dr. Welch, how are we today?"

"Ok," Beth mumbled as she shook her hand, pushing herself up on her elbows and watching while the doctor moved about.

"Now Bethany why exactly are you here today?" she asked sweetly, Beth nervously biting her lip as she fumbled with her words.

"I think I'm-I mean I'm-er-I'm pregnant?" The doctor nodded understandingly as she began asking her a few routine questions, Beth answering them awkwardly while Quinn tried to give her privacy.

"Well let's take a look alright? See what we have going on," her doctor said finally, Beth stiffening her body as the doctor pulled out the ultrasound machine.

"Now I'd like to do an internal ultrasound just to give us a better and more clear view of the uterus-"

"Mom what is that?" Beth asked panicked, watching intently with wide eyes as her doctor grabbed quite an intimidating tool.

"It's nothing, it's ok," Quinn soothed, "She just wants to use this method so we can make sure how far along you are and get a more accurate time line."

"Well where does she think she's gonna stick that?" Beth hissed, watching as the doctor prepared to examine her.

"Honey relax, it's not gonna hurt ok? You'll feel a little pressure-"

"Little pressure my ass mom, that looks awful!" Beth whined, snapping her legs together as her doctor rambled on about the procedure.

"Beth please sweetie, everything is gonna be alright ok?" Beth continued eyeing her doctor and the instrument, shifting her eyes between the utensil and her mom.

"Beth, do you trust me?" Quinn asked, Beth nodding as she squeezed her hand, "Well ok then, trust me when I tell you everything is fine. I've been here hun and nothing bad happens." Beth nodded as she finally relaxed, her doctor now turning off the lights and flicking on the machine.

"Now you'll feel a little-"

"Cold, mom its cold!" Beth squirmed, Quinn stifling a laugh as she wiggled in the bed, "Jesus Christ it's uncomfortable-"

"And it's just the beginning," Quinn said as her eyes shifted to the monitor, her heartbeat ringing in her ears as another one lit up the screen.

"Bethany, it appears you are pregnant sweetheart," the doctor said calmly as she pointed, "That tiny flicker right here? That's the baby's heartbeat. Now it appears your no more than six weeks, very early in you pregnancy ok? So…"

Quinn tuned out the rest of the doctor's speech, her eyes glued to Beth as her daughter watched the monitor. Quinn knew exactly what she was feeling, scared, panicked, terrified, guilty, and nauseous, Beth's cheeks already glistening as silent tears streaked down them. She already knew what she was thinking as well, about how she would tell her dad and what her friends would say, whether she could keep the baby and what they would do. Quinn could feel her own past emotions coming back to haunt her slowly as she watched Beth, suddenly finding it hard to breath as she shook herself.

"…I'd like to go ahead and set up your next appointment while you're here-"

"Thank you Dr. Welch," Quinn interrupted, her voice awakening Beth from her own trance as she turned to her mom, "We just-we have to discuss this so-"

"Fine, we'll call and figure out some other time then," her doctor said politely, nodding and waving as she left the room. Quinn got up and joined Beth on the bed, wrapping the girl in her arms and repeating her comforting routine.

"I'm sorry," was all Beth could say as Quinn rocked her back and forth, Quinn trying to find her voice as Beth lost hers.

"Ok sweetie, now that we know for sure," Quinn said as calmly as she could, trying to think clearly at their next move, "We have to tell your dad. Do Kurt and Jacob know?"

"No," Beth mumbled from within Quinn's arms, "We were waiting." Quinn nodded as they continued to sit there, wondering how his dad's would take the news as she imagined Puck's own reaction.

"I'm so sorry I ever made you feel this way," Beth sobbed, Quinn pulling back quickly as she looked down.

"What?"

"I'm sorry I ever did this to you," Beth said slowly, "I-I'm sorry you had to go through this with me, and I'm sorry I ruined your life."

"Now listen up Puckerman," Quinn said as she shook Beth lightly, "I don't regret one thing about you, you understand? You didn't ruin my life Beth, you gave me one." Beth shook her head as Quinn nodded, tightening her arms around her little girl as she explained.

"Beth you gave me a reason to change, a reason to be a better person, a reason to live," Quinn said softly, pressing a kiss on her forehead as she smiled, "No, I didn't expect you and I'm glad, because I never could have planned on something as great as you. No, I didn't love being pregnant and huge, but I loved what being pregnant and huge brought me and made me become. And no, I didn't have the easiest life as a young mom, but I did have the only one I ever wanted and it's because of you Beth." Her daughter sniffled a little as Quinn wiped her eyes, trying her best to stay strong.

"Beth you will get through this I promise. It's gonna be hard and challenging, but you'll get through all of it. You'll see your baby one day the way I see you, and you'll understand what I'm saying. For now, let's just stop worrying about my past and focus on your future ok?" Beth nodded once more as she sat up and reached for her clothes, Quinn turning so she could change.

"I have to tell dad when I get home don't I?" Beth asked meekly, knowing her father wouldn't be anywhere near as understanding as her mom.

"Yeah baby," Quinn sighed as she nodded slowly, "You have to tell dad next."

Balen hung up the phone as he collapsed against his bed. He was having a baby, he was someone's father. The two sentences swirled together as he laid there, his stomach in knots as he pondered his next move. Should he keep the news secret or tell his dads? After all, he and Beth had yet to decide whether they were even keeping the baby so if she didn't why bother? Why break their hearts when there might not be any reason to? Balen kicked himself as he got up, knowing he would never be able to live with a secret that big whether they kept their baby or not. He forced himself to open his door and march downstairs, trying to keep from losing his lunch as he stepped into the living room.

His dad's were sitting on the couch when he entered, snuggling together as they watched some old black and white movie. They looked happy and peaceful, Jacob's arm draped tenderly over his husband while Kurt rested against his chest. Balen knew most people thought they were some sort of abomination or whatever that meant, but he found them to be the most normal and, weirdly cute, parents in the world.

At first he had to adjust to the situation, coming from a foster home with only one abusive mom, but soon he had grown to love and accept his lifestyle, growing attached to his parents and soon learning it was ok to let them in. His childhood was average and just like every other kids, his daddy Jake dropping him off at school and his daddy Kurt picking him up. They attended his football games and school functions, helped out with PTA and even picked him up from school when he got into fights, never once giving up on him or making him feel unwanted. While each man played a different role in his life they both gave him more love and care then he had ever received from his foster mom, learning that being a parent didn't depend on gender.

"Uh, daddy Jake," Balen called childishly as he walked beside the couch, both men turning towards their son and smiling, "Daddy Kurt, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure," Jacob answered as he flicked the television off, Kurt pushing himself up and sliding the blanket off as he faced Balen.

"You ok Bale? You look a little pale sweetie."

"Yeah-no I…" Balen trailed off as he looked between his dads, feeling like such a chick for the tears he felt in his eyes, "I need to tell you something."

"Ok," Jacob nodded, his face full of concern as he motioned for Balen to sit.

"Balen what is it? What's wrong hun?" Kurt asked as he watched his son struggle, neither man aware of the weight their child had been bearing.

"I-we-Beth," he muttered, trying to string the words together but failing miserably.

"Oh did you two break up?" Kurt asked as he stood, walking towards Balen but having the boy back away, "I'm telling you, I never could handle the ladies-"

"No, we're-we're not broken up," he said lowly, "We're pregnant." Jacob and Kurt's jaws both fell open at the exact same time, neither dad having expected Balen to break that kind of news to them. Balen hung his head as he clenched his jaw, disappointment and shock filling the room as silence hung between them. Balen couldn't bear to look at his dads as he continued to stand there, knowing Jacob was probably fighting back frustration as Kurt mended his broken heart. He wanted to apologize and promise he had never meant to but he knew his words were no good now, just waiting for a yell or cry to break the tension.

Instead of shouting a pair of warm arms around his body interrupted Balen's thoughts, Kurt resting his chin on his son's shoulder as he pulled him in.

"It-it's ok," he sputtered out awkwardly as he fought back his own tears, "It's-everything is gonna be ok."

"I didn't mean to I swear," Balen whispered sadly, "I just-it happened and-we didn't mean to-"

"Well I'd hope not," Kurt said as he pulled back and forced out an awkward laugh, not trying to make the situation humorous but not knowing quite how to handle it.

"And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I know you're mad and disappointed and I've let you down and screwed up-"

"Balen-"

"But she's pregnant and I can't change it, well we can but we don't even know what we're doing with it yet cause she just found out for sure-"

"Balen-"

"And if you hate me I get it, I don't blame you, and if you wanna give me up I won't even fight you I'm not even really yours-"

"Balen!" Jacob's gruff voice yelled as it filled the living room, startling both boys as he stood and approached his son, "Now you listen to me, and you listen close. You haven't disappointed or let us down you understand? Yeah we didn't plan on this and yes you have totally screwed up and made a mess but we'll figure it out got it? You are our kid, our son, our mess, and we're not just chunking you out. We love you and we're not just giving up on you, though you're gonna wish we had of when we're through with you, you hear me?" Balen nodded, Jacob sighing as he rubbed his temple and spoke again.

"Just-just go upstairs ok? Give me and Kurt a second to talk this through alright?" Balen moved to go upstairs but stopped, throwing his arms around his dads once more before running up to his room. He felt terrible for having upset them but relieved at no longer hiding any longer, glad to hear they weren't un-adopting him but wondering what they would do instead.

"Well," Kurt said as he looked at Jacob, "So much for that relaxing weekend." Jacob groaned as he plopped down on the couch, trying to figure out what they were supposed to do as Kurt joined him.

"Do you think her parents know?" Jacob asked, finally speaking as he looked at Kurt.

"I would assume she's told Quinn, but obviously not her father as Balen's still, you know, breathing," Kurt answered as he envisioned Puck, his face morphing and turning green as he ripped his clothes off and began destroying downtown Lima.

"Jesus can you imagine what's gonna happen when she does tell Puck?" Jacob asked fearfully.

"No more shopping mall," Kurt answered as Hulk Puck ripped it out of the ground in his mind. Jacob flashed him a confused glance and Kurt quickly shook his head, refocusing on the conversation as he pondered their next move.

"Well should we call them? Quinn at least, and all sit down to discuss this?"

"Yeah, though Puck's gonna want to do more swinging and less talking," Jacob muttered.

"Balen said they didn't know what they were gonna do with it," Kurt said as he remembered his son's rant, "What do you think they should do with it?"

"I can't see putting that baby up for adoption," Jacob said as he looked at Kurt, "I mean look what happened to Balen." Kurt nodded in agreement, now furrowing his brow as he weighed between the two remaining options.

"So you think they should keep it?"

"Well, Quinn did and look how that turned out."

"Really? Pregnant Beth is your argument?" Kurt asked as he cocked an eyebrow, Jacob shrugging as he leaned back.

"So what? Have her abort the baby?"

"No, God no not at all," Kurt dismissed quickly, "But I just can't imagine them having a baby Jacob, they're still babies themselves!"

"I know, I know," Jacob sighed, "Look we should stop brainstorming and just call Quinn. We all need to talk about this before any decision gets made."

"We don't get much say in that decision anyway Jacob," Kurt said sadly, "I mean at the end of the day it's Beth's choice, Beth's body, and any input we have would only further confuse her."

"Yeah but we do get input Kurt," Jacob argued back as he reached for the phone, "I mean it's Jacob's baby too, it's our grandbaby too." Kurt's eyes widened as he heard the last part of his sentence, smacking Jacob hard as he panicked.

"Jacob we're grandparents! Oh my God we're freaking grandparents!"

"Always the last to know," Jacob murmured as he heard her voicemail click on.

"I mean I'm thirty two! I haven't even had my mid-life yet!" Jacob rolled his eyes as he left Quinn a message, remaining vague but knowing she'd understand if Beth had told her the news.

"Does this mean I get automatic grey hair? Does that just come with grandkids or is there an exception?"

"Kurt please-"

"And do I have to start dressing differently now? More conservative, like well, Artie?"

"Kurt-"

"I need to get my copies of "The Golden Girls" back out, begin research immediately and prepare for all this." He stood up as he made his way to their bedroom, leaving Jacob alone with his thoughts as he became consumed with his own. His baby was having a baby, Kurt unable to hold back tears as he sat on their bed. Had he done something wrong or screwed Balen up somehow? Was it their fault? They had always been open and honest about sexuality in their home, always presenting the truth to their son and educating him on what he needed to know. Maybe they shouldn't have and sheltered him more? Not been so frank and open minded about it all? Kurt didn't know and for now he couldn't try to figure it out, pulling out his DVDs as he tried to think about something else. He knew things were only going to get worse, praying that their little family would make it through.

Quinn sighed as she laid back on her bed, the days events replaying again and again as she closed her eyes. She could still see the small flicker on the screen, the doctors words still ringing in her ears. She wondered how Jacob and Kurt had taken the news, having yet to hear from them or Balen since the appointment. She knew that they all needed to sort this out, but that would first mean revealing the news to Puck.

The feel of warm hands on her stomach caught her off guard, Quinn opening her eyes suddenly to see her husband lifting up her shirt with his cocky smirk.

"Speak of the devil," she said as she smiled, Puck's grin growing wider as his hands traveled up higher.

"You thinking about me?" he asked seductively while climbing on the bed, straddling Quinn's legs as he placed his mouth on her stomach.

"Yeah," she moaned a little, "About how much smaller you are than Finn." His mouth snapped closed and his hands slid down, Puck shaking his head as he retreated.

"That was just cold woman, downright cruel," he said as she laughed, Quinn pulling him back down beside her on their bed.

"I'm kidding, you know that," she said as he pouted, rolling on her side to face him on his, "But there is something I need to tell you."

"The fact of how you know how big Finn is?" Puck asked while raising an eyebrow, "Cause if I remember correctly-"

"Please stop talking," Quinn said as she covered his mouth, Puck licking her hand and winking as she grimaced, "Puck!"

"Baby!" he shouted back, Quinn groaning as he continued to toy with her.

"Seriously, I-there's something we need to talk about."

"Alright, I'm all ears," Puck said as he focused on her, actually paying attention and waiting as Quinn tried to speak.

"So-ok, today-alright-"

"Jesus Quinn, talk much?" he joked, laughing at her face as she tried to speak coherently.

"Puck really-" the sound of her cell phone interrupted the two, Quinn looking to see she had a missed call and new voicemail, "Crap, hold on." As she began clicking through her cell the house phone rang, Puck rolling over to get that one as Quinn checked hers.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is Ms. Puckerman available?"

"I'm sorry she's busy right now, can I take a message?"

"Oh this is Dr. Welch, Ms. Puckerman had an appointment earlier today and I was calling to verify her next follow up." Puck rolled over and furrowed his brow at Quinn, her having told him that she was out with Beth shopping.

"Uh are you sure?"

"Yes, we saw Ms. Puckerman this morning. We just needed to know when she wanted to schedule her next prenatal checkup." Puck froze as the words sunk into his mind, his body going warm as he sprung up in excitement. She was pregnant, Quinn had finally gotten pregnant.

"Wait a second, prenatal? As in baby?"

"Yes, we-" Quinn's head turned sharply as she heard her husband speak, looking over and meeting his ecstatic face with her panicked one.

"So you need Quinn to come back in?"

"PUCK!"

"No sir, this appointment isn't for Mrs. Quinn Puckerman, it's for a Ms. Bethany Puckerman."
