Chapter 1: Parenting of Three Dads
Most kids are excited and happy that it's three o'clock in the afternoon on a Friday. But Lauren Elizabeth isn't like most kids in her school at Chelsea Lake Elementary. She sat in time out with her arms crossed for a good thirty-minutes. Her brunette curls have covered her face. She was not happy, not even when her father Noah Puckerman came to get her.
"Oh Mr. Puckerman!" Her first grade teacher Mrs. Claire greeted the young man. "Lauren's not very happy. She couldn't be the leader in follow the leader today since she did it yesterday. She threw a temper tantrum." Mrs. Claire confirms Puck.
Puck nods. He stares at his little girl who faced down while pouting. "I'll have a talk with my little munchkin." He walks over to bend down on his knee.
"Hey munchkin." He says letting out a smile. "Bad day, huh?"
"I hate school. I never want to go back!" Lauren cried.
"Never?" Puck asked shockingly.
"Never!"
"Well, then...you don't have too." Puck says. Lauren's eyes grew wide open. She stood up and cheered happily. She hugs Puck. "Piggy back ride, Puck Daddy!" Puck laughs. Puck Daddy is what Lauren called him ever since she could talk. Puck carried Lauren out of school. He felt relieved that he didn't have to deal with an upset six-year old on the car ride home.
Lauren came home with a huge smile on her face. She saw her other father Sam Evans making peanut butter sandwiches. "Dad! Guess what!" She cried. Sam picked the little brunette up and sat her down on the kitchen counter.
"What?!" Sam asked with excitement to hear what happened in school today.
"Puck Daddy said I never have to go to school again because I had a bad day!" Lauren says with a smile.
Sam glances over at Puck. "You what?!"
"Hey, she's happy!" Puck says shrugging his shoulders. "I'm going to take a bath." Lauren giggles watching Puck leave.
"And now I don't have to go on Monday! Isn't that awesome?!" Lauren squeals.
"It's not going to be awesome when Daddy finds out." Sam warns Lauren. "What'd you do that you had a bad day?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You're going to have too, sweetheart."
"But I won't!"
"Sweetheart? Do you want another time out?"
"You're no fun!" Lauren sighed. She carefully got herself off the kitchen counter. Sam watches Lauren leave. He knew for a fact that when her daddy comes home, he wouldn't be a happy guy hearing about the situation.
Finn Hudson had a long tiring day. He taught Glee Club for two years after Mr. Schuester retired. His students wouldn't listen to him and they weren't happy with the choice of the songs he had listed for Nationals. He made them stay extra thirty-minutes. Finn came home, sighing. He threw his shoes on the side of the door.
He greets Sam and Puck who were in the living room. "Dude! You wouldn't believe what this idiot told Lauren today!"
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Puck glares at Sam. The two guys notice the look on Finn's face. "You alright?"
"Just not a good day." Finn took a deep breath. "Anyway what Puck do?"
"The little munchkin had a time out since she threw a tantrum. She wasn't follow the leader. I told her she never has to go back to school. Let that stay in her head for a while..." Finn glared at Puck as he finished explain. "That was the dumbest thing you ever done."
"What? I didn't want to deal with a grumpy little girl."
"Then you handle it the proper way. What a dad would do." Finn responds.
"Can't you tell her Sunday night? I mean, she's pretty excited."
"I'm not letting this slide. I have to talk to her." Finn angrily stood up. He makes his way to the second room of the suburbs house.
The second room is the biggest room and that's Lauren's. Her room was painted pink with gold stars and butterflies. He knocks on her door and finds her brushing her doll's hair. Lauren smiles at her daddy. "Daddy!" She says giving him a big hug. "I missed you, daddy!"
"Daddy missed you too." Finn says smiling. "How was school?"
"It was bad! Today was my last day." Lauren said, sitting back on her bad.
Finn raised an eyebrow. "Oh really now?"
"UH-huh. Puck Daddy told me it was."
"Because you had a bad day?"
"Uh-huh."
"Princess, that's not the way it works."
"But that's what he told me!" Lauren pouted.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"I threw a tantrum." Lauren cried. "A temper tantrum. My teacher was mad at me."
"She wasn't mad, princess. She was upset." Finn says stroking Lauren's back.
"She wasn't upset as I was. I'm the lead. Everyone knows that. I got so angry that I couldn't be the line leader."
"Weren't you the line leader yesterday?"
"Yes, daddy."
"You have to give other kids a chance."
Finn stares at Lauren who's close to tears. "They don't do a good job."
"Oh, Lauren.."
"Daddy! Don't be mad at me! Please!" Lauren throws the doll on the side of the bed.
"Hey, hey... I'm not mad at you. I just want to know what happened and why. You're not in trouble princess."
"But you called me Lauren! You always call me Princess." Finn felt his heart sank when his little girl started to cry. She cries on her pillow, not looking at her daddy.
"Princess...I already told you. Daddy could never be mad at you. I love you. You need to understand that you can't always get what you want." Finn says comforting Lauren by stroking her back. "You know who else is upset?" Finn asked, hearing Lauren's cries.
She shook her head. "Daddy." She whimpers as she sits up. "Why are you upset?"
"Because my little princess is crying. And princesses don't cry." Finn wipes away Lauren's tears.
"I'm sorry, daddy! I don't want you to be upset." She hugs her father with arms wide open. Finn gently tickles Lauren's little tummy and she giggles. "That tickles!" She said smiling threw her tears.
"Ah! I got you to smile!" Finn says. They hug once more. "I love you daddy."
"I love you, princess." Finn says. Lauren sits in between Finn's lap. She rests her head on his shoulder. Finn loves being a father more than anything to his little girl. She's his world. He always felt that his Princess Lauren was a very special girl. Not only because he was her daddy, but she has two others.
That's all that matters. As long as she's loved and feels protected by the world.
