Beginning Our Life

Last Time: Sarah and Grace started school, leaving a bored Puck at home. Sarah met a guy, Jake, in math who insisted they'd end up together despite her being pregnant. Grace thought she was stupid because she couldn't figure out her math. Puck picked out the first name for his son, Nathan, something Sarah really likes. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

You're So Familiar

Sarah's Point of View

I sat down in the first red chair I came to, giving Artie a glare as I did so. I totally deserve to be the New Rachel. Second place is not going to cut it. At least I beat Wade or Unique or whatever he wants to go by at the moment; need to show him who's boss.

Mr. Schue walked in with Finn, "Alright, who's ready to go watch some auditions?"

Everyone groaned, even Finn who agreed to come and help. Moron. He knew what he was getting into. I wish Puck would have come, but he had a guitar class right now.

We all filed into the auditorium where I took a seat between Finn and Blaine, "This is going to be so boring," I muttered.

Finn nodded, "I know, but Mr. Schue said I have to try and make it fun, so pretend that I'm encouraging you."

Blaine and I laughed just as the first person walked on the stage.

"Hi, I'm Amber," she smiled.

Mr. Schue waved his hand, "Welcome. You may start anytime you'd like."

Amber took a breath and signaled for the band to start. I winced as the first note came from her mouth. She wasn't good...like at all.

"Kill...me...now," I heard Sam mutter behind me.

I snorted and hid my face in Blaine's shoulder to stop from laughing too loudly.

"Thank you, thank you," Mr. Schue held a hand up, "Thanks for trying out."

Amber smiled and left the stage. She was quickly replaced by a boy with the highest pitched voice I'd ever heard. This was going to be great.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

An hour later and there still wasn't anyone great. I wanted to text Puck so badly, but I couldn't. For one reason, I didn't want to interrupt his class. I know he even signed up for a one-on-one, so I definitely didn't want to mess that up. And two...Mr. Schue took all our phones. Something about showing respect and not wanting to be rude. Whatever.

The next guy walked on stage and I slumped in my seat with a groan. It was that stupid kid, Jake. He's been so annoying this past week, except today. He was really quiet, maybe this was why. I wonder if he was nervous.

For some reason, I was never able to find out his last name; especially since he found out I was in Glee. Whenever we have to write our name on something, he doesn't write his full name, only doing so the last minute when I'm turned away. And right now, he didn't even tell Mr. Schue his last name. What kind of person was he?

I was just about to write 'No' next to his name, when Jake started singing. I sat up in my seat at his voice. Not just because he was amazing, but the way he sung reminded me so much of Puck.

I wonder if that's why his smirk was so familiar that first day. They did look alike in a way. But right now, as he sung that same song Puck sang to Nate a couple weeks ago, it was even more apparent.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Finn scoot to the end of his seat.

"Hey," I whispered while hitting his arm, "Does he remind you of-"

"Puck," we said at the same time.

"Yeah," Finn nodded.

We were cut of by Mr. Schue cutting Jake off. I watched with wide eyes as Jake stormed off the stage after throwing a stand.

"Yeah, that's Puck," Finn muttered.

I had a weird feeling in my stomach as if it really was my boyfriend running off that stage. A part of me jerked forward as if I was going to go after him, but I fell back onto my seat. If he was anything like Puck, he just needed space.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Mr. Schue gave us a ten minute break a little while later and I realized how much I really needed to go to the bathroom. I had just finished washing my hands when I heard someone hit a locker in the hallway. I stuck my head out to see Jake sliding down the wall.

I slowly walked over to him, "Hey."

Jake glanced up and scoffed at me, "What do you want?"

I shrugged and wiggled myself down to the ground, "I heard you punch a locker."

Jake clenched his fists and I saw that his right hand had bruised and broken skin.

I reached my own hand out and carefully took his, rubbing my thumb over the dark skin, "Want me to find you an ice pack?"

Jake shook his head, "No, I'm fine."

"You were really good," I whispered.

"Thanks," Jake muttered.

"If it was up to me," I continued, "You'd be on the team."

He smirked, "Thanks, but I don't think that's what I want anymore. If I don't even get a chance to audition for a decent amount of time, how do I know I'm going to get a solo or whatever?"

I bit my lip because, on some level, he was right, "But you were so good," I said softly.

Jake shrugged and stood, "Sorry, not worth my time."

I groaned as he walked away. Now we lost a potential member...and I couldn't get up. Just as I was trying to rock forward on my knees, Sam turned the corner.

He chuckled, "Hey, you need help?"

I smiled, "Yeah."

Sam came and bent down. His arm wrapped around my waist and gently tugged me up, "There you go."

"Thanks," I dusted off my dress.

"Why'd you even go down there if you wouldn't be able to get back up?" Sam asked as we started walking back to the auditorium.

I blushed, "There was actually someone I was talking to that was already sitting on the ground."

"You have friends besides us?" Sam raised his eyebrows with a smirk.

I laughed, "He's not really a friend, just someone I feel bad for."

Sam nodded, "Well, next time see if he can stick around and help you up in exchange for your advice."

I smiled, "But you're so good at it."

Sam laughed while holding the door open. I followed him up the stairs to our seats. I reluctantly sat back down.

"Have a good pee?" Finn asked.

I hit his arm, "Shut up."

"What? We all know that's what you did," Finn smirked.

"Your nephew's getting bigger and is therefore putting more weight on my bladder," I told him.

Finn chuckled, "You just sounded pretty smart. Junior year's fitting you well."

I laughed, "Oh yeah, one week in school and I'm already a genius."

Finn patted my head, "You're so smart."

I rolled my eyes and hushed him as the next person walked out on stage. She was a girl that kinda looked like Rachel, maybe my age or a year younger. As soon as her mouth opened, mine did as well. She was amazing, perfect, fantastic. I really wasn't expecting that.

Mr. Schue didn't stop her (not that it mattered, but I thought it was a little rude since he stopped Jake who was just as good) and instead congratulated her. Everyone dumbly clapped, not really knowing what else to do.

"Great, more competition," Blaine muttered.

"You don't know that," I whispered, "She might not get on in."

"Ha, yeah right," Blaine scoffed and suddenly became very interested in his hands.

"Hey, we rule this place," I breathed in his ear, "You don't have to worry about some new girl."

Blaine smiled, "Thanks."

We fell back in our seats and let out an audible groan as the next girl totally butchered the new Taylor Swift song. My ears were going to bleed. I set my hands on my stomach in an attempt to stop the noise from reaching my baby.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I slid into the bathtub with a sigh. I just needed a nap right now. I closed my eyes and hummed along to the radio.

The door slammed open and my eyes shot open.

"Hey, I had the best day," Puck fell to his knees next to me.

"That's great," I muttered.

"I'm sorry, you alright?" Puck smoothed his hand against my cheek.

I shrugged, "Just long and tiring. Distract me with yours."

Puck smiled and settled himself on the ground, "Ok, so it started when I got to class, which was actually on time for once, and I sat in the back of the room like usual. Anyways, the teacher or professor or whatever came in and was seriously the coolest teacher I've ever had. He even said we can call him by his first name, Matt. He had everyone play something that they're confident with, so I played Sweet Caroline with the lyrics by accident, I didn't even realize I was singing. You know how after class I had my lesson with Matt? He told me I was clearly at the top of the class and had one of the best voices he's ever heard. Can you believe that? Me! At the top of the class!"

I smiled, "That's great, hon."

Puck smiled back and nodded, "I know. Plus, there's a benefit for you two since most of the class is dudes, so you have no competition."

I laughed, "I didn't know there was a competition anyways. I am your girlfriend carrying your son. As an added bonus, I'm naked right now."

Puck chuckled while trying to look through the bubbles, "You are naked, look at that."

I raised my eyebrows, "Are you saying you were so excited about school that you didn't even notice I was naked and covered in bubbles?"

Puck shrugged, "I guess not."

"You," I poked his nosed, "Are losing your touch."

Puck rolled his eyes and kissed my forehead, "I'm sorry, but aren't you the one who tells me I shouldn't dehumanize you?"

"The word is objectify," I corrected with a smile, "And at times it's annoying, but I kinda wanted you to notice me today."

"How were auditions?" Puck asked as he curled his hand in my hair.

I groaned, "Wonderful."

"That bad, huh?" Puck laughed.

"There were two great people out of the whole bunch, but the guy threw a tantrum when Mr. Schue stopped him early while the girl was too good and scares Blaine who thinks she'll steal our thunder," I told him, "I'm sure it'll all turn out fine, though."

"Sorry," Puck kissed my forehead, "I'm sure you guys will be great this year."

I nodded, "I hope you. On a nicer note, no pun intended, your class sounded fun."

"It really was," Puck smiled, "You know, I'm actually looking forward to going to school this year."

"That's good," I swirled my hand in the water, "Have you chosen a major yet?"

Puck shrugged, "I'm not sure. Maybe something music related...I don't know yet," he blew a bubble off my shoulder.

I shivered at his breath and smiled, "Whatever you chose, I promise I'll stand by you the whole time."

"Thanks," Puck kissed me, "Means a lot," he breathed against my lips.

"Mhmm," I drew him as close as possible despite the tub between us.

There was a pounding on the door, "Noah David Puckerman, you better not be in there while Sarah bathes," Mom warned.

I giggled and pushed him back, "You should go."

"Now?" Puck glanced at the closed door, "She's probably waiting outside to chop off my parts at the thought of us doing anything."

I laughed, "Just go. She can't do anything, the damage's been done, she's gonna have a grandson no matter what."

Puck chuckled, "You're right. There's nothing to be scared of."

"You have three seconds Noah or else I'm coming in there and dragging you out," Mom yelled.

Puck scrambled up, "I'll see you in a few."

I laughed as he ran out of the room in fear of Mom. I quickly grabbed the shampoo to wash my hair, maybe my relaxing bath can wait. I don't want to get all pruny after all.
