It's been two months since Sarah's wedding, and Puck's been working nonstop since then. In a couple of months, his boss will announce who will make partners, and he really wants the position.

He was reading about this new case when his phone rang. Every day, like clockwork .

"Hi, Ma."

"Hi, Noah! How are you, son?"

"Good, working a lot, but good. You?"

"I'm good too. Haven't heard much of Sarah since she got back from her honeymoon. She didn't come visit once, can you believe that?"

"She's probably still adapting to married life."

"But I've been feeling lonely lately. I was thinking that, maybe, I could go to New York, spend a few days with you…"

Puck didn't think this was a good time, he's been swamped with work, and would only be available on weekends, maybe not even that.

"Ma, you know you're always welcome here, but I've been really busy lately, and I won't be able to spend much time with you. "

"No problem. It'll be a good opportunity for me to spend some time with Quinn."

Crap! He thought about saying that he and Quinn broke up, but it would make Ruth so disappointed... Besides, she would spend all the time there complaining about it, saying that he needed to settle down and that she wanted grandkids. He'd have to find another excuse.

"Ma, I think Quinn is pretty busy too."

"Well, ask her! She's a lovely girl, I'd be happy to see her again. Besides, she's your girlfriend. You make time to see each other, right?"

He would have to hire Quinn's services again. But he's happy about it. He liked the blonde, and they had fun on Sarah's wedding. A lot of fun. The kind of fun he couldn't get out of his head. Both heads actually. Ok, he was ecstatic. He really wanted to see her again.

"Ok, I'll talk to her."

"Great! I already booked my flight. I'll be there the day after tomorrow and leave on Monday."

Of course. He should know she already had everything planned. "Ok, Ma, see you then."

Puck hung up the phone and thought about the last time he saw the blonde.

The ten hour drive passed by fast, as they chatted and laughed together, talking about the wedding and his childhood friends.

It was dark when he parked in front of her building. They looked at each other with sad smiles on their faces. Quinn put a hand on his cheek as she spoke:

"It was lovely meeting you, Noah. I had fun."

Then she gave him a slow, sweet kiss, surprising him. He smiled as he watched her get out of the car and walk to the door.

He had fun too. It would be good to see her again.

Quinn had a busy Tuesday. Kurt called her early in the morning asking for her help with some of his designs. Her best friend was a fashion designer, and he always liked to show her and Blaine his creations, to get their opinion. The other two always had helpful comments and suggestions to Kurt.

She went over to Kurt and Blaine's place to look at the sketches and now they were idly chatting in the living room. Quinn told them all about her trip to Lima with Puck, and the whole time, she had a huge smile on her face. Of course her friends teased her a lot about it.

The blonde was about to leave, since she had to attend to a business mixer with a client and still had to get ready, when her phone rang. She got excited as she saw the caller's name displayed on her phone.

"Noah?"

"Hi, Quinn. How are you?"

"Good, good. You?"

"I'm good too. Actually, I need your help."

"What can I do for you?"

"Are you busy this week? My mother is coming here on Thursday and she'll stay for the weekend. She was hoping to spend some time with you."

Quinn was busy. She had two clients on Thursday, four on Friday and was schedule to spend the weekend on the Hamptons with a different client.

"No, of course, I'd love to spend time with her too."

She couldn't say no to him. She'd figure out what to do about the other clients later.

"But I need you to sleep over, at least on the weekend. Is that ok?"

"Sure, no problem."

They said goodbye and hung up. Quinn felt terrible. That was very unprofessional of her. She had never cancelled clients before. But it's done, and she already told Noah she'd help him. The blonde decided that she would just tell her clients she had a family emergency. It wasn't exactly a lie, it was a family emergency. Just not in her family. And she would ask them if they wanted her to send another girl in her place. She's pretty sure Sugar would go.

Ok, problem solved! Now she had to run, she was already late to the mixer.

On Thursday, Quinn went to airport to pick Ruth up. She'd take her to Puck's apartment, so she could leave her stuff there, and then they'd meet him at a restaurant, where they'd have dinner together.

The blonde smiled as she saw the older woman heading in her direction. Ruth Puckerman hugged her and kissed her cheek, like she was an old friend.

"It's good to see you, dear. And thanks for picking me up, I hope I didn't get you into much trouble. Noah said you were probably busy this week..."

"It' good to see you too, Ruth. It was no trouble at all, it was the perfect opportunity to take some time off. How have you been? How's Sarah?" Quinn asked, as they got to the car.

"I wouldn't know. Sarah hasn't talked to me properly in a while. But I'm happy to be here. So, what are the plans for tomorrow?"

Mrs. Puckerman already knew that they'd have dinner with Puck today, but the next day would be only Quinn and Ruth. They spent the whole drive to Puck's deciding on what to do on Friday.

Once they got there, Ruth decided that she wanted to take a shower before going to meet Puck. Quinn took the time to explore the apartment and learn a little bit more about him. It was something she usually did in her clients' house whenever she got the chance. The first place she went was his bedroom. She laid down on his king-sized bed and grabbed the tv remote, that sat on his nightstand. She turned on the tv and started flipping through the channels. Good, good. No porn channels. She turned off the tv and sat down on his bed, opening the first drawer of his nightstand. There she found aspirin, some bills and a bunch of paper, but nothing that caught her eyes. Quinn opened the second drawer and found a bunch of boxes of condoms, two bottles of lube and some massage oil. Ok, he definitely brings women over...

On the third drawer, there was a photography album. She opened it and started looking at old family pictures, but she decided to stop. She knew that going through his stuff wasn't ok, but she felt that looking at those pictures would invade his privacy too much. There might be a picture of his father there, and she only wanted to see it if he wanted her too.

She closed the drawer and stood up, walking to his wardrobe. She started looking inside, his clothes seemed ok, pretty basic, nothing too stylish. She found a box inside and opened it. On top, she found an old passport and a bunch of plane tickets, of places he's traveled to. Quinn smiled. She always keeps the tickets when she travels somewhere. But there's more in the box. Underneath the tickets, she finds it. Two dvds. "Legally Boned" and "Breast Side Story". The last one sounds like something Rachel would have given him. Quinn knew she would find porn somewhere. There's no such a thing as a single man who doesn't own any porn. She's just glad his collection is pretty modest. But, judging by the second drawer on the nightstand, he might spend most of the time doing the real thing instead of watching it.

She moves to the bathroom. There's nothing out of the ordinary on the cabinet, hair gel, shaving cream, toothpaste... Pretty normal. She's relieved as she moves to the living room. Apparently, there's no drugs, weird sex toys that could indicate any creepy fetishes(not that she wasn't used to those) or weird posters hung on his walls.

Next, Quinn goes to the living room. She sits on his black leather couch for a while and then stands up, moving to check out his book collection. There are many classics and some law books, that he probably uses in his job. She walks to the kitchen and opens the fridge, inspecting if there's anything he should've thrown away a week ago or if he basically lives off frozen food.

"I thought he'd eat healthier, now that he has a girlfriend ." Quinn jumped as Ruth spoke.

"Unfortunately, we are both very busy, and aren't spending as much time as we'd like together. But I've been trying to help him with that."

"He's been so busy that I think he hasn't had a home cooked meal in a while. But, fortunately, I'll be here this weekend, so I'll work on that." said the older woman.

Quinn smiled at her. "Ready to go?"

"Yes, let's go, dear."

Twenty minutes later, they got to the restaurant. Ruth kissed Puck's cheek and hugged him tight. Then she kept looking at her son and Quinn with a smile on her face.

"You don't have to be shy around me. I've seen you two kissing before, it won't make me feel uncomfortable."

Puck kissed her briefly and held her hand, as they smiled at each other and went inside.

The food was great, and the atmosphere even better. Puck announce that they were celebrating. He won a big case today and he thought he really impressed his boss. His chances of getting the promotion were getting even better. He was telling them about the case and both women looked at him with pure admiration, entranced by every word he said.

Ruth's heart was full of joy and love, as she heard all the excitement in her son's voice. All she ever wanted was for him to be happy, and he seemed to have achieved it, at least career wise. Then she looked at the blonde girl sat beside Puck and her smile grew even bigger. His love life was going great too, at least judging by the looks his girlfriend was giving him. It was full of pride and wonderment. She understood, her boy amazed her too.

They kept talking over dinner, Ruth telling Puck and Quinn about things back home and how everyone at the wedding reception loved Quinn (except for Rachel, that wasn't happy at all to see the blonde again, but she decided not to mention it).

Over dessert, Ruth told them how excited she was to be there with them, and all the places she wanted to go. It was not her first time in New York, she came to visit Puck every now and then, but now she could go buy clothes or watch Broadway plays that her son had no interest in seeing. It would be completely different to explore the city in the company of another female.

Half an hour later, Puck paid the bill and they left the place. Quinn said her goodbyes and told Ruth that she would see her tomorrow.

As the blonde sat on her car, she had a funny feeling. She would spend her next day with her "fake" mother in law and she was actually excited about it. What was wrong with her?
