Callie had no idea how she was going to deal with her father. She knew that Puck was right. There was no way he could have described her father without actually seeing him. She didn't know who she was mad at more Puck for being a bastard or her father for being himself.
She knew that she was suppose to meet her father at the doctor's office so she headed there. Her father was waiting for her in his truck, the truck that Puck described to her.
Callie hid her emotions as she got out of her car and walked to her father. She waited for him to get out of the truck.
"Hey, are you ready Callie?" Daniel looked at his daughter's face and knew that something was wrong.
"Yeah."
"Is something bothering you Callie?" He looks her in the eyes watching them grow darker. She is looking at his face.
"Where did you get the black eye Dad? Did you get in a fight or something last night?" She pointed at the bruised and swollen eye. Puck was right. Oh God. He knows.
"Uh, yeah. You know just blew off a little too much steam last night. I'm okay, but you should see the other guy." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he knew that she had seen the other guy. Hell they went to school together.
"I did see the other guy Dad. Puck. You tried to kill him last night." She looks at her father her emotions building up inside.
"Dammit Callie! He raped you! Why couldn't you tell me when it happened? Why did I have to see my baby girl having an argument with a punk on you tube to find out about it?" Daniel cant believe his daughter is trying to make him feel guilty about what he did to that punk.
"Because it was my fault too. It wasn't just Puck's fault that night, it was mine too. And that punk is the father is my baby. There is so much about that night no one knows but me and Puck. Its not anyone's business but ours." Callie knows she should tell her father about that night but she isn't ready to yet.
"You know I could call the police and have him arrested, they have everything they need on you tube." Daniel is getting pissed at his daughter. "You were underage and drinking that night. I'm sure with his record it wouldn't be that hard to send him away to prison."
"If you do I will simply tell the police that I was mad at my boyfriend and wanted to get back at him. I will deny everything and anyone that remembers the party can testify that I went willingly to the barn loft with him." She glares at her father. God what did he do, run a background check on Puck?
"Callie I cant believe that you are saying this to me. He raped you. How can you be in love with him?" Daniel looks at his daughter wanting to shake some sense into her. But he doesn't because of the baby.
"Dad I am not going to lie to you and say he didn't hurt me that night, but it was MY FAULT TOO! I'm not ready to talk to you about that night. If you were Mom I could; but you're my Dad and I'm not comfortable talking to you about sex."
Callie hopes he can tell that she is telling him the truth.
"I fell in love with him because I saw the real him, the real Noah Puckerman. Don't you think that this is hard on both of us? It isn't just about me, it's about Puck too."
"I don't give three shits about the punk. You are my main concern. I told the contractor that I was quitting the new job, that I needed to be home for awhile."
"Dad, no offense, but right now you need to go to that job. I need time to figure out what I am going to do, to deal with all of this. I don't need you here, worrying if you are going to try and kill Puck again." She sighs a little at her father.
"The only other reason that you would stay is to make sure he stays away from me. You don't have to worry about him anyways, he hates me. But I don't want him hating the baby, I want him to be a part of the baby's life." Her eyes are full of sadness when she says the words hates me.
"Callie I need to be here to take care of you, to make sure you're okay." Daniel looks at his daughter and sees so much of his late wife. The stubbornness, the love…
"No, you need to give me some space and time. I will be okay Dad. I know you love me and I love you. But I need peace and quiet around me, not anger or hostility. Its not good for the baby or me." She hugs her Dad and pulls out his cell phone. "Call the contractor and tell him you'll be there."
Lilly would be proud of their daughter, fighting for what she believes in.
Daniel knows its hopeless to argue any further. He understands her need to figure it out for herself. So he makes the call and after a couple minutes of apologizing and promising to show up Saturday, he has the job back.
"I hope you know that I love you. Just promise me that if you need me you will call me this time, not hide away from me." Daniel pulls his daughter into a hug, holding her tight.
"I promise Dad, no matter what it is I will tell you." Callie says into his shirt.
They both went into the office building.
The doctor was extremely kind to both of them. She explained everything in detail as to what Callie could expect over the next seven months.
How her diet was important, to avoid stress, to make sure she got enough rest, the changes her body was going to go through. She was quite thorough in all aspects of the visit.
The ultra sound was the best part for Callie, she got to see the tiny life growing inside of her. She thought of Brittany because it did sort of look like a tadpole.
Her father was in awe and telling her about the first time they got to see her in her mother's tummy.
The doctor made Callie two sets of pictures from the ultra sound. Daniel bit his tongue when she explained she needed the extra set for the baby's father.
They left to grab a bite to eat at the local diner.
The rest of the school day for Puck wasn't that pleasant. He thought Brittany was bad until Mercedes cornered him in the hallway.
She let him know exactly what would happened to his beloved Puckzilla if he yelled at Callie again. She even shoved him against the lockers before she stomped away.
Rachel was the next female member of Glee to tell him what she thought, the sad thing in his opinion, he couldn't block out what she was saying to him.
"She's the mother of your child Noah. No matter what the two of you have done to each other, learn to deal with it. I can tell that you still love her, because the only time you lash out is when you feel something you don't want to. I know that you are hurting, but so is she and you're both scared too. Stop yelling at her Noah if you cant stop then stay away from her." Rachel gave him that look of you know it's the right thing to do, the one that makes you want the ground to swallow you up.
Santana merely flipped him off and turned around walking away from him.
Puck was walking down the hallway with a scowl on his face when he was suddenly pulled into the girls restroom.
"What the hell?" Puck looks around to see the biggest, baddest chick from the wrestling team gripping his arm tightly, looking at a very pissed off Tina Chang.
"Thanks Loren, remember no one comes in or goes out until I give the signal." Tina hands the large girl a twenty.
"Don't even think about hurting her Puckerman, I'll be outside if you need me Tina." She walks out of the restroom.
"Look Tina everyone has busted my ass enough today. I don't really want to hear anymore about how my dick is going to be cut off or my ear talked off. I just want to be left alone." He walks to the door and tries to pull it open, he fails. Loren has a grip on it and the soreness of his body won't let him push himself to force it open.
"Goddamn it Loren open the fucking door." He yells at the door.
"She wont open the door until I give her the signal, so stop yelling and being a stupid son of a bitch." Tina has never cussed before in front of Puck and it stuns him into silence.
"Glad I got your attention Puck. I am not going to threaten you or pull a Berry on you either. You need help and so does Callie. For some reason the girl still loves you and I want to be a good friend to her."
Tina is unsure of how Puck feels about Callie, thinking the best way to find out is to ask him upfront, that is exactly what she does.
"I am going to ask you a few questions and I just want simple one word answers from you can you handle that? Oh to be completely honest with me too." She cocks her head to the side looking at him with an expression he cant read.
"Yeah, what do you want to know?" Puck doesn't know why he is willing to talk to her but she is the first to actually talk to him and not at him.
"Do you love Callie?"
"Yes I do."
"Do you think you can ever forgive her?"
"Right now I don't know."
"Do you want to forgive her?"
"I don't know and that is the truth."
"Have you ever felt love like this before, even with Santana?"
"No."
"Do you want to be a part of the baby's life?"
Puck doesn't know what to say, he really hasn't thought about it. Everyone has been busy telling him what he is going to do, but no one has asked how he felt about the baby.
"Yes I do, I want to watch it grow up, to know that I am his/her father. I don't want to be like my Dad was and run away."
"Do you think Callie really loves you or was it all a game?"
"Yes and no."
"What do you really believe Puck?"
"Yes that she loves me."
"Do you think that after you both stop being so angry and hurt that you would want to try and work it out?"
"Yes." Puck is surprised by his own answer, because for the first time in two days he can think straight for himself. He knows what he said to Callie earlier but he knows he only said that in anger over her father.
Tina looks into Puck's eyes searching for any doubt to his words, finding none she knows what she must do.
"I am going to help both of you. I will let you know if she needs anything and keep you up to date on the baby. You have to give her space and stop being pissed at the world.
I heard what you were yelling at Callie earlier, so I know that you have more than just her and the baby on your mind. But you have to think about your family now Puck. I know that your home life has sucked most of your life, I may not talk a lot but I listen to what people don't say. You have a chance at your own family; one that its up to you if you screw it up."
She looks at Puck hoping her words are sinking in to his Mohawk brain.
"Why do you want to help me and not just threaten me? What's in it for you?" Puck wants to believe what Tina is saying to him but he cant help the doubt.
"Because you need each other. The hate is just as strong as the love the two of you feel. You both are the other half of each other. My grandmother told me that once you find a man that matches your passion then you have the one. So do you want my help or not Puck?" Tina crosses her arms across her chest and looks at him waiting on an answer.
He thinks about she just said about Callie being the other half of him and Tina is right about it. The only time he has ever felt complete is when he was with Callie.
"Okay, we will see how it goes, but you have to keep her away from me too. I need time to figure things out my own head," Puck knows he needs time, time to forgive Callie and himself.
"Don't worry about that me and the other girls from Glee can do that no problem." Tina picks up her book bag and walks towards the door, but she is surprised when Puck pulls her into a hug.
"Thanks, Asian." Puck says her nickname with a smile.
Tina smiles and nods her head. She walks to the door and knocks three times. Loren opens the door, "he's free to go." She walks away with a small smile on her face. This just might work out.
