Beginning Our Life

Last Time: New Directions held auditions for new members. Sarah found Jake and tried to comfort him to no avail. Puck enjoyed his first day of college and was happy to share his day with Sarah. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

One Year Later

Puck's Point of View

I walked through the front door only to be hit with the full force of a sixteen year old girl in my chest.

"Happy anniversary," Sarah breathed against my shirt.

I smiled and held her close against me, "Happy anniversary."

Sarah went on her tip toes and kissed me softly, "We're going to the river bank, right?"

"Mhmm," I led her to our room, "When do you want to leave?"

"Doesn't matter," she shrugged while perching on the bed, "How was school?"

"Good," I smirked as I threw off my shirt. I went through the dresser, "Are we dressing up tonight?"

"Noah," Sarah warned and I turned, "It's our anniversary, of course we're dressing up."

"Fine," I sighed and pulled out my dress shirt, "What're you wearing?"

"I'm not telling you," Sarah slipped off the bed, "It's a surprise."

I laughed, "I'll probably see it before we leave."

"Nope, I won't allow it," she started pushing me towards the door, "Out, now."

I chuckled, "Where will I go?"

"Grace's room," Sarah stated, "She said she needed help putting together her new Barbie house Blaine got her the other day."

I rolled my eyes, "She's 11, I don't get why he got her a Barbie house."

"She asked for it, now go," Sarah gave one last shove, "See you in an hour," she shut the door.

I laughed and made my way to Grace's room. I knocked lightly before walking in, "Hey, monster."

Grace looked up from her homework, "Hey."

I sat next to her, "Homework on a Friday? That's not fair."

Grace shrugged, "If I do it now, then I won't have to do it Sunday night."

"That's right," I nodded, "Sarah said you needed help with your Barbie house?"

Grace's face lit up, "You'll help?"

"Why not?" I slid down to the ground and pulled over the huge box, "Wanna tell me why you still play with dolls even though you're in fifth grade?"

"I don't know, is there something wrong with dolls, Noah?" she asked defensively.

"No," I shook my head, surprised at how mad she suddenly seemed.

"Good," Grace settled into my side and hugged me around the waist, "You're the best."

I chuckled, "Alright, thanks. Let's build this house."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

There was a knock on the door and Burt walked in, "Puck, Sarah's ready."

I nodded and stood, "Alright, thanks."

Grace tugged on my hand, "Thank you for helping."

I bit back a groan, "Yeah, no problem."

Grace smiled before turning back to her dolls and continued dressing them.

I left the room and went in the kitchen where Ms. Carole was doing something to Sarah's hair while Finn talked to them. I smiled at my girlfriend and her baby bump sticking out of her purple dress.

"Hey," Sarah smiled.

"Hey," I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around her.

"Where are you going?" Ms. Carole asked.

Sarah smirked and turned in my arms, "The usual."

Grace walked in, "You guys should get married there."

Finn rolled his eyes, "Yeah, get married, that's an idea no one's thought of before."

"No body's getting married," Burt said from where he was leaning against the wall.

"Enough talk about marriage, you two should get going," Ms. Carole kissed Sarah's forehead.

I smiled and nodded at her before leading Sarah out to the truck. I helped her in before climbing in the driver's side and starting it up.

"Can you believe it's been a year?" Sarah asked.

I smirked, "No, it's gone by so fast."

"And to think, a little over a year ago, I was lonely and never thought I'd see you again. Boy, has things changed," Sarah laughed softly as she rubbed her stomach.

I silently nodded; not really knowing if I really changed her life for the better or the worse.

Sarah turned up the radio and sang along softly.

I smiled at her voice, "I've missed hearing you sing."

She turned and smiled at me, "Maybe you should come to glee practice."

I laughed, "That's more up Finn's alley."

Sarah shrugged, "He hasn't come back since auditions because of school and stuff."

"I know," I nodded and pulled up to the river bank, "Here we are."

Sarah slid out and I quickly grabbed the purple box from underneath my seat before following her to where I had set up some old patio furniture earlier.

"I have a present for you," Sarah smiled when I got closer.

"Really?" I smirked, "Cause I have one for you too," I set my present down on the table and sat down.

Sarah smiled and stood, "I'll be right back."

I watched her disappear through some trees before returning with a huge box being dragged behind her.

"Oh, you need help?" I stood.

Sarah laughed, "How about you just open it here so I don't have to bring it any farther?"

I chuckled and walked over to her, "What'd you get me?"

"Open it and see," she bounced on her heals.

I took a breath before sliding my finger under the wrapping paper. I tore it down the sides only to see a plain, brown, cardboard box. I laughed, "Thanks."

"Just open it," Sarah laughed and hit my arm.

I chuckled while unfolding the lid. I peaked inside before reaching my hands in. They met a cool leather in a round, familiar shape. I slowly pulled the gift from the box. I stared at the guitar case in my hands, "Sarah, you didn't have to."

"But I wanted to," Sarah came and stood next to me, "You haven't even gotten to the best part yet," she put her hands forward and clicked open the locks, "Open."

I went and set the case on the table. My hands shook as I pushed open the lid. The case fell open and a new guitar shone in the light.

"Do you like it?" Sarah asked, "Sam and Finn came with me to buy it. They thought you'd like this one the best since it's just normal and classy. I know you liked your old one, but it's just so old and-"

I kissed her softly, "It's amazing, fantastic even, and I definitely wasn't expecting it."

"Good," Sarah breathed against my lips, "I figured you could always sell your old one anyways."

"Exactly," I smiled and kissed her again, "Now open your gift."

She gently pulled the box towards her and lifted the lid. I watched her smile when she opened up the box to see the charms I bought her for her bracelet.

"I know you spent way more on my gift, so I can-" I started, but Sarah placed her hand over my mouth.

"Stop," she whispered, "They're perfect. Like I said earlier, you've already given me so much, I really didn't need a present."

I rolled my eyes and moved her hand from my lips, "You deserve a present, don't sell yourself short."

Sarah laughed softly and sat down, "That's funny since I'm so short."

I chuckled and sat as well, "You're so weird."

Sarah smiled while opening the picnic basket we brought, "Mom made us some sandwiches."

"Romantic," I laughed.

Sarah smirked, "Because everything we do is so romantic."

I shrugged, "I think I'm pretty romantic."

"Oh, yeah, taking your girlfriend's virginity in the back of your mom's van is totally romantic," Sarah laughed.

I rolled my eyes, "Besides that."

"Then, fine, yes, you're romantic," Sarah smiled.

I smiled back, "I definitely know you're lying, but I'll let it slide for the night."

"Did you want to see a movie after this?" Sarah asked while pulling out the bottles of water she packed.

"Sure, but what's out?" I grabbed one of the sandwiches.

"Doesn't matter," Sarah said, "I just want to have a fun night with you."

"Let's see a scary movie," I suggested.

Sarah raised her eyebrows, "I don't know..."

"Come on," I grabbed her hand, "It would be fun."

"Fine," she sighed, "We can see a scary movie."

"Awesome," I took a gulp of the water, "I promise I'll protect you."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

"Noah, that was terrifying," Sarah whispered in the darkness of our room.

I pulled her as much as possible on my chest, "It wasn't that scary, it was more stupid than scary."

She whimpered and hid her face in my shirt, "I can't believe I let you take me to see that."

I bit back a chuckle, "I'm sorry."

"Whatever," Sarah sat up and leaned against the wall, "I'm not even tired."

I sat up as well with a smile, "It's almost eleven. How are you not tired?"

She shrugged, "I don't know."

I ran a hand over the baby, "Can you believe we've been together for a year?"

"Can you believe we've known each other and actually stayed friends for ten years?" Sarah asked back.

"Remember when we met?" I asked.

"Sort of," Sarah smiled.

*Flashback* *Open Point of View*

Chris and Carole Hudson simultaneously let go of their kid's, Finn and Sarah, hands. The nine and six year old ran off to go play at the playground in their new neighborhood while their parents went to sit at the only open table, well, mostly open.

There was another woman sitting at the picnic table fussing over a small baby girl, maybe six to seven months.

"Hello," Carole greeted.

The woman looked up with a sigh, "Hi."

"Your baby's very cute," Carole smiled, "She looks similar to my daughter when she was a baby."

"Oh, how old is she now?" the lady asked.

"Sarah's five while Finn is eight," Chris answered.

"My son, Noah, is eight as well," the woman smiled. She carefully stuck her hand out, "Ruth."

"Carole," said woman smiled and shook her hand, "And this is my husband, Chris."

"Nice to meet you," Chris also shook her hand, "Is your husband with Noah?"

Ruth's face paled slightly before she set her lips in a hard line, "I am actually not married anymore, he left us."

Carole's hand went over her mouth while Chris's hands tightened into fists.

"I am so sorry," Carole whispered.

"If you ever need anything, we're here," Chris offered.

A small smile formed on Ruth's face, "Thank you."

Across the park near the swings, Finn and Sarah raced to get the best one.

"Let me have the taller one, Sarah! I'm bigger!" Finn yelled as his sister ran ahead.

"But I'm prettier!" Sarah yelled over her shoulder before abruptly stopping at the sight in front of her.

There was a small boy sniffling softly with tears running down his face where he sat on the farthest swing from everyone else.

"Hey," Finn said while walking forward, "Why are you crying?"

The boy looked up with big hazel eyes, "No reason. Why are you bothering me?"

"No reason," Sarah repeated while crossing her arms.

A tiny smirk crossed the boy's face, "My name's Noah."

"I'm Finn and this is Sarah," Finn stepped forward, "Now tell us why you're crying."

Noah wiped his nose on his sleeve, "My dad left me and my little sister with my mom. Right before Father's Day too! This really stinks."

Sarah skipped forward and gently hugged the new boy, "I'm sorry. How come he left?"

Noah stiffly hugged Sarah back before pushing her away, "I don't know. Maybe he hates me."

"Maybe he wanted to be a rock star," Finn suggested, "I don't think a dad can hate his family."

Noah smiled, "That'd be really cool."

"Totally," Finn smiled back.

"Hey, I have an idea," Sarah smiled, "You can share our dad! He's really nice and funny and takes us camping and gives really good hugs."

"Do you think he'd want me?" Noah said quietly.

Finn nodded, "Yeah."

"What about Grace?" Noah asked.

"Yup cause he loves little girls," Sarah rocked on her heels, "Look at me, he loves me."

"Come on, let's go have you meet him," Finn grabbed Noah's hand and dragged him and Sarah to where he had last seen their dad.

The three kids ran back to the picnic tables where their parents had already met.

"Dad, this is Noah and he doesn't have a dad so we think you can be his dad now," Finn rushed out.

"I think he's really nice," Sarah added in.

"Oh, Noah," Ruth quickly took her son in her arms, "Were you crying again?"

"No," Noah grumbled as if he'd heard the question dozens of times before in the last couple days.

Chris pulled Sarah and Finn on his knee, "So you met Noah?"

"Yes and we really want you to be his dad cause his real dad left him," Sarah looked shocked at the thought of a father willingly leaving his kids.

Chris looked up at where Noah was staring at him with expectant eyes, "Of course Noah can be my son."

Puck's Point of View

I hugged Sarah close to me, "That was a crazy day."

She nodded, "Who would have known that that was the moment that I met the future father of my first born son."

"So are there more to come?" I asked with a smirk.

Sarah looked up at me, "More sons? I hope."

I smiled, "Cool, but just so you know, that's not happening for another several years."

She laughed, "I know, but besides, we're having a girl next."

"And how do you plan on controlling that?" I smirked.

Sarah shrugged, "Not sure, we'll figure it out."

I chuckled, "Alright."

"What else do we have to look forward to?" Sarah asked softly, running her hand down my chest.

"I don't know," I kissed the top of her head, "College?"

"Graduating," Sarah breathed.

"Buying a house," I held back a shiver at the thought.

"Taking care of Nate."

We fell into a silence. She was right. We needed to focus on our near future right now and that meant the baby inside her.

I rubbed my hand in circles across the baby bump, "Do we need anything else for him?"

"Not sure," Sarah muttered, "Can we think about that tomorrow or another day? I just want to focus on you and us and our anniversary right now, not something that's sure to stress me out."

I nodded, "You're right," I said softly, "We'll talk about it all tomorrow."

Sarah sighed and slid down so she was laying against the pillows, "Thanks for a great day."

I smiled and laid next to her, "No problem. Thanks for an amazing day."

She laughed softly and rested her head on my arm, "I love you."

"Love you too," I whispered.

Sneak Peak: I ran my hand over his face, wincing at the clammy skin, "Are you sure you're ok?" He shook his head, "No. I just found out_"

What'd Puck find out that sends him into a small shock?
