"Excuse me, I'm assuming that you would be the kids from McKinley High School?" a nurse wearing yellow butterfly patterned scrubs approached the group.

Everyone's eyes immediately went to the small woman standing before them as Emma spoke.

"Yes, we're the McKinley group." She answered.

The young nurse nodded, her facial expression giving no hints about the news she was about to deliver. "I have some information about your friends."

-GLEE-

"Is everything okay?" Emma's face immediately filled with concern as the rest of the kids went silent with worry. No news was good news, right? So why was this nurse here?

"Everything is just fine." The nurse smiled. "Your friend has just given birth to a healthy baby girl. Seven pounds, six ounces, and twenty inches long."

The group immediately filled with murmurs of joy and hugs were exchanged among the kids.

"Can we see them?" Rachel finally spoke up.

"Soon. Ms. Fabray needs some time to get back to her room and rest a bit and the baby needs to be bathed and checked over. But yes, you can see them in about an hour."

The Glee kids exchanged disappointed looks as the nurse headed back down the hall. More waiting.

"Anyone have any requests?" Kurt asked as the group turned around. With one final glance down the empty hallway they kids of New Directions turned and headed back into the nursery for an encore performance dedicated to their newest fans.

"Look at her." Two new parents stared down at the pink blanket nestled in its mother's arms. The child's eyes were closed in a peaceful sleep and there was a thick cover of dark hair sprouting from its head.

"She has your nose." Puck observed.

Quinn smiled. "She has your bone structure."

"Your eyes,"

"Your ears and your chin."

"Perfect mix." He smiled down at her. "You did so good in there mama, you were a rockstar."

"I was kind of mean." She said remorsefully.

Puck shook his head. "Nah, I probably deserved it anyway. And you were kind of in a compromising position."

Quinn giggled. "Thanks Noah."

"Don't mention it." He shook his head. "So, we need to decide on a name. I don't think we can call her Baby Girl Puckerman forever."

"I wish it was that simple." She sighed. "Did you ever think of any names you liked?"

Puck shrugged. "I've never been good at stuff like this. If it were up to me I'd probably just call it Drizzle like Finn wanted."

"We are not naming her Drizzle!" Quinn said adamantly.

"Well, then tell me what you ended up with. We can pick from those."

"Okay… Samantha, Alison, Elyse, Katie, and…." She paused.

"What?"

Quinn blushed. "Well, I used to love that cartoon Madeline when I was a kid. You know, the one set in Paris with the girls at that boarding school or whatever? With the big building covered in ivy?"

He nodded. "Yeah, it's a vague memory. I think my little sister has it on DVD or something."

"I've always loved that name. It sounds different. You know, like, not Mad-uh-lynn but Mad-eh-line." She annunciated.

"Madeline Elyse Puckerman." Puck stated. "We can call her Maddi."

Quinn smiled. "That's perfect."

He leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "You both are."

"Are we interrupting?" Santana stuck her head in the room.

Quinn laughed. "No, come on in."

Puck scooted a little closer to the hospital bed while the rest of the New Directions plus Will and Emma squeezed into the tiny white room.

"This is technically against hospital policy," Rachel informed them "So if anyone asks you have five sisters, five brothers, and an overjoyed aunt and uncle."

Quinn rolled her eyes and let out a dry laugh. "Got it."

Emma smiled at the small pink bundle. "She's beautiful, Quinn."

"Say hello to the newest member of Glee." The young mother smiled. "This is Madeline Elyse Puckerman."

Soft murmurs of approval were heard around the room as the others peered at the baby with interest and a few pictures were taken by various cell phones.

"How are you feeling?" Rachel spoke up after a minute.

"Very tired." She answered. "But happy. Very, very happy."

"It's amazing. She's so small and… she's here." Puck added. "It's unreal."

Finn smiled. "Dude, you're going soft."

"That kid already has you eating out of the palm of her hand." Matt stated.

"Shut up, you guys are just jealous."

The boys shrugged. "Maybe a little."

"We brought you something. Well, a couple somethings." Santana and Brittany stepped apart and produced several bags from behind them. Quinn and Puck saw a large Teddy Bear, two bouquets of flowers, a handful of pink balloons, and a coffee mug reading "It's a Girl!" among other things.

"You guys," Quinn let out a small giggle. "You didn't have to do that! It looks like you bought out the entire gift shop!"

"It's nothing." Kurt dismissed her worry with a wave of his hands. "We got bored singing to a bunch of sleeping infants anyway."

"What?" the young mother's eyes went wide at his statement.

"They sang to the babies in the nursery." Emma told her. "It was sweet! They all stopped crying and went right to sleep."

Puck laughed. "I wish I could have seen that."

"You can," Will pulled his cell phone from his pocket and passed it over. "I got it on video."

"No way!" Puck eagerly grabbed the phone and held it out at arm's length between himself and Quinn. Pretty soon the faint sound of Dare You to Move began to fill the room and Puck began to laugh.

"That's really cool guys." Quinn said fondly once the song had ended.

Finn shrugged. "We got bored."

"That was f-freaking hilarious." Puck said, quickly catching himself before swearing. "Damn, this is gonna be hard."

"I remember when I was little we had a swear jar. Every time someone said a cuss word they had to put money in depending on how bad it was." Santana spoke up. "I lost so much money to that thing."

"What did your parents do with the money?" Rachel wondered.

Santana shrugged. "No clue. They might still have it for all I know. But we don't use it anymore."

"I remember when I stayed the night one time and your dad had to put a fifty dollar bill in there." Brittany added.

"Oh yeah, I remember that too!" Quinn's eyes lit up. "Your mom took us out for ice cream as a bribe so we wouldn't tell our parents."

"Why were our childhoods so messed up?" Santana questioned.

Puck shook his head. "I don't know, but that's not gonna happen with her. We're gonna make sure Finn's mom isn't the only decent parent in Lima."

Finn's hand on her shoulder silenced the comment Rachel was about to make about her two fathers, so instead she simply smiled and said, "That's great Puck."

A small yawn escaped from Quinn's mouth, causing her to frown. "Sorry guys, I'm just a little out of it."

"I think we could all use some rest." Mr. Schuester told her. "And we need to get back to the hotel and figure out what exactly the plan is for the rest of us anyway."

This statement was met with several protests among the group, but Will remained firm on his plan and soon he and Emma were herding the remaining ten kids out of the hospital room and towards the lobby.

"We'll give you guys a call later after Emma and I figure this out and everybody gets a quick nap." Will told the new parents as he briefly paused at the door.

Puck nodded. "Both our phones are here so just let us know."

Will gave a single nod and took a step, only to be called back in.

"Mr. Schue?"

The curly mop of hair soon popped back in the doorway.

"Yeah Quinn?"

The blonde looked at him seriously. "Thanks. For everything. And I'm sorry, I know we kind of ruined the trip-"

"No, don't be sorry." Will gave her a warm smile to match his soft words. "If you ask me this is a pretty great way to celebrate Regionals."

Quinn laughed. "Okay."

"Alright. I'll talk to you both soon." With a final nod Will hurried off to catch up with the others, leaving the two new parents alone with their creation.

Puck let out a sigh. "I still can't believe that we made this."

Quinn smiled. "Yeah, we did pretty good huh?"

"You have no idea."

She chuckled. "I think I might have a hunch."

"Doing this is gonna be harder than anything." He stated softly.

Quinn nodded. "Yep. But I think it will be worth it, don't you?"

Puck smiled and leaned down to kiss her. "Definitely."
