P.O.V Quinn
I woke up at 12:00pm wearing Puck's jacket. I guess I was shivering while sleeping and he covered me with it. How sweet. It feels so good to wake up in his arms, he's still asleep. Everything was so perfect until I realized that it's 12:00pm and I'm not home. Oh. My. God. I hope mom doesn't know that I'm not there, or I'm so dead. Gotta wake up Puck, I need him to take me home. I can't take a bus in pyjamas. I stroke his head and took his hand while I said softly:
― Puck… Wake up… It's too late, I gotta go home…
He didn't wake up. I don't want to wake him up, but I'm scared my mom knows that I escaped from home in the night, and I don't want to get punished.
I kissed his cheek and stroke his head again.
― Puck… Please, wake up…
He finally woke up, opened his eyes and stretched his arms.
― Good morning, beautiful ―Said Puck.
― Good morning? It's later than 12:00pm.
― That's because we fall asleep later than 5:00am… ―He said stretching his arms.
― That's because you chose a very late hour to go to your grandma's garden with me. ―I said giggling.
― I thought it would be more romantic… ―Said Puck blushing.
― Awww, you just earned a kiss. ―I said kissing his lips softly.
― I love your kisses. They're addictive.
I blushed. Was this happening in real life? I needed to say something, so I just said:
― Puck, you need to take me home now. If my mom figures out I escaped in the midnight, she's going to kill me. What if she already knows?
― Don't worry, I'll take you home, baby.
Did he just call me baby? Because that sounded so cute.
He took me home, but now there's another problem. I can't enter from the front door. Maybe my mom is there.
― Puck, what am I going to do? I can't enter from the front door.
― Let's go to the backyard, I got an idea.
We went to my backyard. I wonder what's Puck's plan.
― So, what's the plan? ―I asked.
― See that tree? It has strong thick branches that are near to your bedroom window. Climb the tree, open the window and enter your room.
― Seriously, are you crazy? I'm going to kill myself if I do that.
― No you won't. I will climb with you and open the window for you. It isn't so far from the floor. I know you can do it! Come on, you're Quinn Fabray! The most athletic girl I have met. If you can make it to the top of a Cheerleader's pyramid, you can do this.
― You know what? You're right! I'm Quinn Fabray, and I can do this.
I climbed the tree with nimbly. Actually, I had to help Puck a little. When we reached to the top of the tree, he crawled through the branches and opened my bedroom's window. Then I crawled through the branches too, and he helped me to enter my bedroom.
― Bye, baby. See you tomorrow. I'll text you the hour of your surprise with You-Know-Who... And I'm not talking 'bout Voldemort.
We kissed goodbye, and after that, I smiled and said:
― Hey, Puck. Thanks.
He didn't answer, just smiled back and started to go down through the tree.
I realized I'm still wearing Puck's jacket. I'm going to hide it in the closet in case my mom sees it.
The moment I was closing my closet's room, mom entered to my room. I crossed fingers and thought: "I hope she doesn't know"
― Oh, hi dear! I was going to make breakfast but then I watched the clock and saw that it is 1:00pm! So I'll just start making lunch. Are you hungry? ―Said my mom.
― Oh, hello mom! Did you just wake up?
― Yes, darling. I watched movies until 3:00am. But you know what they say: "Enjoy your weekend waking up late"!
― That's right, mom!
― Well, Quinnie, I'm going to start cooking the pasta. Why don't you take a shower and get dressed?
― Ok, mom!
She left the room and I felt relieved. She didn't know a thing about my sneak out with Puck! I'm going to get a shower and get dressed now. Can't stop thinking about what's going to be Puck's surprise…
I finally took the shower, dressed and had lunch. Then, the phone rang and I answered. It was Kurt.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Quinnie! How was your sneak-out-date with Puck?"
"Oh, Kurt, it was awesome! Let me go to my room and I'll tell you everything"
I went to my room, closed the door and lay down in my bed.
"Tell me, where did he took you?"
"To her grandmother's garden. It was so beautiful!"
"And you met his grandma?"
"No, she wasn't there. She's in Costa Rica"
"Ohh, I can see why he chose this place"
"We watched the stars and then he told me the most beautiful words I ever heard, and then he… he kissed me!"
"Whoa! And did you kissed back?"
"Of course! I was speechless, but then he kissed me again!"
"Oooooh, that sounds so romantic! What happened next?"
"I said I was going to give him another chance, so he grabbed a rose, kneeled down and asked me to be his girlfriend!"
"Oh my, Quinn! Did you say yes?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my, Quinn! I'm so happy for you too! Awww, so adorable!"
"I know! Then we played with swings, and jumped to see who gets farthest, and of course, it was me!"
"Awwww, Quinnie! You don't know how happy I am to hear you like this"
"Thanks, Kurtie"
"Now, tell me, what happened after the swings?"
"We kissed again and then I fall asleep in his arms and when I woke up, it was 12:00pm. He took me home and you wouldn't believe what happened next!"
"Oh my God, did you two…?"
"NO! I got inside my bedroom by climbing a tree and crawling through branches. Actually, I'm a very good climber"
"Haha, so badass"
"Oh, and Kurt, he also told me he's got a surprise for me tomorrow!"
"Another surprise?"
"Yes. He said that it involves You-Know-Who"
"Voldemort?"
"Haha, at first I asked if it was Voldemort, but he said no… I wonder what he's planning"
"And of course, you're going to tell me everything about that surprise with You-Know-Who…"
"Sure!"
"Ooooh, Blaine is calling me! We'll talk later, ok?"
"Of course, my Kurtie! Bye! And say hi to Blaine from my part!"
"I will! Bye, Quinnie!"
After my talk with Kurt, I got a text from Puck. It said:
"Heey, my beautiful Quinn, I'll come 4 u 2morrow at 3:00pm. No sneak-outs this time, plz don't b late. Luv u"
Tomorrow at 3:00pm. That's in the afternoon. What's he planning this time? Whatever he's planning, I got to tell my mom that I will be out tomorrow since 3:00pm. I don't know if I should tell her to truth, or invent something like "I'm going to see a movie with a few friends"
We were having dinner, when my mom asked:
― So, Quinnie, do you have any plans for tomorrow?
― Actually, yes.
― What is it, darling?
― I'm going out at 3:00pm.
― Oh, that's after lunch. What are you going to do?
"Shall I tell her the truth?" I thought.
― Oh, I'm going to hang out with…
― A boy?
― Well, yes.
― Who is it? Finn?
"Why my mom has to ask so many questions?" I thought.
― No… ―I said.
― Sam?
― No…
― Then, who?
"Hell, I'm not going to hide our relationship" I thought.
― With Puck. ―I finally said.
― Isn't he the guy who got you pregnant?
― Well… Yes…
― Do you really think it's wise dating a guy like him? ―Said my mom almost yelling.
― What do you mean by saying that, mom?
― It's obviously that this guy isn't right for you! Look at what he did to you! You have stretch marks because of him!
― It wasn't only his fault! Besides, that happened a lot of time ago!
― Why don't you try to get back with Finn? He's such a good boy!
― Don't you understand? Finn doesn't want me, he's in love with Rachel, and I don't want him either! Besides, what do you think it's the meaning of "good boy"? Because my dad, which you said he was the best husband and a perfect Christian, ended up cheating on you and abandoning us! Is that the kind of "good boy" you want for me?
― You know what? Do whatever you want, because I don't care! ―Yelled my mom leaving the room.
I feel kinda bad for my discussion with mom, but she started it all. No one's going to tell me who am I going to be with. Anyways, now I'm going to bed. I'm sure tomorrow's going to be a big day…
I woke up. It's finally Sunday! The day of Puck's mysterious surprise for me. I seriously don't have any idea on what's his planning. I came to the kitchen to have some cereal for breakfast. There was my mom, taking some coffee.
― Good morning, Quinn. Sit down, I think we should talk. ―Said my mom.
I sat down and thought "Please, don't punish me, please"
― Mom, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't mean to yell at you.
― Well, I yelled at you too, so I have to say sorry for that. You're free to choose who you want to be with. It's just that… Guys have caused you a lot of pain, and it kills me to see you suffer…
― Aww, mom, I know I have made some wrong decisions, but I'm going to trust in him.
― Even though I don't like so much the idea of you two being together, invite him to dinner here.
― Mom, thanks for understanding! When do you want him to come?
― Tomorrow.
― Tomorrow, mom? Don't you want to wait a little more?
― No. Tomorrow is fine.
― All right mom, if you say so… Hey, mom! Can I invite Kurt to have lunch here today?
― Sure, but didn't you tell me you were going to hang with Puck?
― Yes, that's why I need Kurt to be here now, to help me get prepared.
― Ok darling, just a question: what's Puck's real name?
― Noah. Noah Puckerman.
I'm so happy things are fine with my mom again. Now I gotta call Kurt. I grabbed the phone and dial his number.
"Hello?"
"Hi Kurt! It's Quinn"
"Oh, hi Quinn!"
"Kurt, I need you. Can you come to house now?"
"Of course, but tell me, what kind of help do you need?"
"I need you to prepare me for today. I don't know what Puck is planning, but I want to look amazing"
"Gosh, of course I'll help you! I'll be at your place soon"
"Ok, bye!"
Kurt reached to my house at the perfect moment.
― So, you don't have any idea where he's taking you? ―Asked Kurt.
―No, he just said he's got a surprise for me involving You-Know-Who and that he will come for me today at 3:00pm. So, I don't know what to wear.
― You should wear your new BCBG dress with the Nine West heels we brought at the mall!
― You're right, that dress is perfect. It's not too casual but also not too fancy.
― And I have perfect ideas for make-up!
Kurt helped me with my hair and make-up, and I have to say, I look awesome. It's 2:50pm and I'm so nervous! Right now, I'm looking at window hoping to see him coming. He said he would be here at 3:00pm, and also he said that I can't be late. Is it some reservation in a fancy place?
It's 2:58pm and I'm still looking at the window like an idiot, then I saw his car, closed the window, got down the stairs and opened the front door of my house. He got off the car to greet me.
― Wow, Quinn, I'm speechless. Look at you! I love how you look with that dress.
I blushed and thought "Thanks, Kurt!"
― Kurt gave it to me.
― Kurt chose an awesome dress!
I just giggled.
― Well, Quinn, you should get in the car. The surprise is waiting for you! ―Said Puck.
We spent like 30 minutes on the road, when Puck finally said:
― We're here, baby.
We were in front of an apartment building.
― Now seriously, Puck. Where are we? ―I asked him.
― You'll see in a few minutes.
Puck grabbed a band and put in my eyes, so I couldn't see anything. Then he grabbed my hand and we walked through the building hand-to-hand. When we were in the elevator, I asked:
― When are you taking this band off my eyes?
― Soon.
We got off the elevator and continue walking. Then he stopped and said:
― I love you, Quinn.
Then, he kissed my lips softly. He rang the doorbell and a woman opened the door. I couldn't see how she was, because I still had this thing in my eyes, but her voice sounded familiar. The woman guided us to a room. Then we stopped, and Puck said:
― I'm going to take this thing off your eyes, baby.
He finally took that band off when I looked at something, I mean, someone I wasn't expecting. I started to cry like I never did in my life. There was Shelby Corcoran holding Beth in his arms. I couldn't stop crying. My daughter was in front of me. The last day I saw her, was at that hospital.
― Here, hold her. ―Said Shelby handing me Beth.
Beth looked at me with his beautiful hazel eyes and I could see that she was alike me. She is a beautiful brunette with hazel eyes. I'm sure if I take her a photograph and show it to mom, she would think it's me, because I was born brunette. It feels so strange to carry her. What will she think of me when she grows up? I'm sure she will think her biological mother was a teenage slut who hated her. But I really love her. I carried her inside me for nine months. She is my daughter, but Beth is never going to call me "mom". What would happen if when she was born, I decided to keep her? Looking at her makes me regret giving her. That precious girl, the copy of me, isn't my daughter anymore. I have to tell her that I love her.
― Hi, Beth. I'm your mother. You're only one year old, but I want you to know that I love you so much. I could give my life for you. Please, never forget that, my baby. I know it's hard to understand know, but I know someday you will understand in God's whole plan and what's He's done to both of us. I'm sure you'll be an awesome girl. I'm proud of you and I'll always be. I love you.
At that moment, Beth smiled at me and touched my face with his little hands. What a beautiful baby.
Suddenly, I felt Puck's hand in my shoulder; I could see that he was crying too. I gave Beth to Puck.
― Hello, my beautiful baby, this is your father. Did you know that I chose your name? It's a pretty cool name, don't you think? I really wanted to keep you, I wanted to make a family with you and your mother, but every thing happens for a reason. Was it destiny? I don't really know. What I really know is that I love you, sweetie. I love you so much. ―Said Puck to Beth.
― Well, it's Beth's time to take a nap, so… ―Said Shelby.
― Oh, let me kiss her goodbye ―I said.
I kissed Beth's forehead and said to her:
― Bye for now, my Beth, I love you more than my life.
― Bye, my little princess. ―Said Puck.
We saw Shelby taking Beth to her bedroom and I automatically hugged Puck crying. He comforted me. Without talking to each other, only walking hand-in-hand, we left the building.
