Beginning Our Life

Last Time: Puck, Grace, Finn, and Burt got sick; meaning Sarah was left alone to take care of them. She snapped under the pressure and called Blaine for help. Blaine helped and reassured a stressed Sarah. He was surprised when the family wasn't mad that he cheated on Kurt. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

Puck's Point of View

"...And then he spilled his cider on me! My dress is destroyed Noah. Destroyed! What am I going to wear tonight? Huh? My costume's all icky now. A fairy can't be icky."

I nodded along while I drove Grace home from school. She's been telling me a very detailed explanation of her entire Halloween party since the moment she ran up to me.

"It'll be ok," I interrupted her, "Mom can clean it with-"

"No!" Grace yelled, "Noah, it's sticky and smells like cider, people will laugh at me tonight!"

I sighed, "I don't know what to tell you, then."

"But Noah, you always know what to do," she whined.

"Grace," I groaned, "Stop complaining."

"Ugh," Grace sat back in her seat.

"Did you at least get any candy?" I asked.

"Yup," she smiled.

"Good," I smiled back, "I'll have to do a thorough check of it all."

Grace stuck her tongue out at me in the mirror. I laughed back at her.

My phone rang, making me smile at the ringtone. I grabbed it from the cup holder, "Hello."

"Hi Noah," Shelby greeted, "Happy Halloween."

"Happy Halloween," I replied.

"Are you going trick or treating tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah, Sarah and I are taking Grace out," I told her.

Shelby paused for a second, "Can you take Beth?"

I smiled, "Of course, I can even come pick her up now."

"That'd be great, I'll get her ready, see you soon!" Shelby ended the call.

I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat while switching lanes, "We're going to go pick up a hitch hiker."

"Who?" Grace asked.

I chuckled, "Guess."

I watched her bite her lip as she thought.

"Come on," I prodded, "It's not that hard. I was just talking to her mom..."

"Beth!" Grace smiled.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I pushed open the door while adjusting Beth in my arm, "We're going to have fun tonight, Bethie."

Sarah ran up to us, "Beth! I didn't know you were coming with us," she took my daughter in her arms while kissing her face.

Grace ran passed me, "Mom! Mom! Emergency! We have an emergency! My fairy costume is ruined! Destroyed! Never to be right again!"

"What happened to her?" Sarah asked as she led the way to the living room.

I rolled my eyes, "Some kid spilt his apple cider on her. Trust me, you don't want to hear the story."

Finn looked up from Sammie as we entered the room, "Hey, Beth, are you going trick or treating tonight?"

Beth looked at Sarah who nodded, "Yes," she whispered, "Say yes."

"Yes," Beth smiled at Sarah.

I chuckled and took her back in my arms, "Shelby asked if I'd take the monkey out and I said yes."

Sarah sat on the couch next to Finn, "What are you going to be, Beth?"

"Lion," Beth jumped in my arms.

"What noise does that make?" I asked her.

"Meow," Beth hugged my neck.

We laughed, "No, you have to roar," I told her.

"Roar?" Beth asked.

"Mhmm," I smiled.

"Roar!" she yelled.

I kissed the top of her head, "Exactly."

Finn stood and brought Sammie over to us, "Remember her Beth?"

Beth reached a hand out to try and touch Sammie, "Baby."

"Mhmm, baby," Finn smiled, "Isn't she soft?"

Sarah laughed while rubbing a hand over her stomach, "Weirdo."

I chuckled and sat next to her, "Is he kicking?"

"Yeah," Sarah grabbed Beth's hand, "Here, want to feel something, Bethie?"

Beth watched Sarah set her hand on her side, "Wh' you do?"

Sarah smiled, "Just wait."

We all waited until Beth shrieked and took her hand away, "Eat?"

Sarah laughed, "No, I didn't eat anything bad, that's your brother."

I hugged Beth close, "Isn't it cool?"

Beth glanced between me and Sarah before putting her hand back against Sarah's side. She stared at it with wide, surprised eyes.

Finn caught my eye and smiled before leaving the room. Sarah smiled as well and gently ran her finger down Beth's cheek.

I grabbed her hand, "Love you," I whispered.

Sarah smirked, "Love you too."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I pushed open my bedroom door, "Sarah, are you-"

I stopped and stared at her. She was finishing up dressing Beth in her little lion costume, but that's not why I stopped. Sarah was in her own costume. She had a long, light blue and pink dress on with a tall, pointed hat on top of her curls.

"What are you wearing?" I asked.

Sarah looked up, "What do you mean? It's Halloween, I'm dressing up."

I chuckled and stepped closer, "I didn't expect you to dress up."

She picked up Beth and set her on her hip, "Why?"

My eyes widened, "Um, no reason, just wasn't expecting it."

Sarah raised her eyebrow, "Really?"

I nodded slowly, "Really."

She bit her lip before looking at Beth, "Now I definitely know that Daddy has to wear the costume that I got him."

"What?" I turned her to face me, "You got me a costume?"

Sarah laughed, "Yes, and you're wearing it."

"No," I shook my head, "Absolutely not."

"Wearing it," Beth repeated.

"Please," Sarah breathed.

"No," I told her.

"Come on, you don't even know what it is," she grabbed my hand and led me to the closet.

"And I already know I'll hate it," I groaned.

"Bad Daddy," Beth shook her head.

Sarah laughed while pulling out a bag from the crib I set up yesterday, "You're right, Beth, Daddy's being bad."

"Are you going to punish me?" I whispered in her ear.

Sarah gasped and slapped my arm, "Not in front of Beth!"

"Yeah!" Beth yelled.

I laughed, "Sorry, sorry."

"Ok, so look at this," Sarah pulled out a plastic covered outfit from the bag, "You can be my king."

"That would make you my daughter," I pointed out.

She rolled her eyes, "Forget that fact. I could have gotten you the prince costume and you would have hated that more, now put on the robe and crown and let's get out there."

We stared at each other for a good two minutes before I finally gave in.

"Fine," I groaned while ripping the package from her hands.

As I turned to leave, I heard Sarah whisper to Beth, "High five, we got him."

I rolled my eyes, but couldn't help the smile that spread across my face.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

"Be careful and don't do anything stupid!" Ms. Carole called after us.

I turned around and waved at her and a flower dressed Sammie, "Got it!"

"Bye Mom!" Grace yelled as she skipped down the driveway, now dressed as a cowgirl to make up for her 'destroyed' costume.

Sarah continued pushing Beth's stroller while waving behind her, "See ya later!"

I wrapped an arm around her waist, "Ready?"

Sarah giggled, "Yup. You look great, by the way."

I made a face at her, "You're so funny."

She laughed again and stopped, "Come here, my king."

I chuckled and bent down to kiss her, only to get stopped by a tapping on my arm.

"Noah, come on, I want candy," Grace whispered, "Can't you kiss Sarah later?"

I sighed and stepped back, "I guess," I winked at Sarah who blushed in return.

"Great," Grace grabbed my hand, "To the first house!"

I glanced back at Sarah and Beth with a small, apologetic smile as Grace dragged me up the first porch.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I pulled out my phone. How could it only be 7:20? I felt like we were out here for hours.

Sarah walked up with a sigh, "I'm done, I can't do it anymore."

"Noah, your turn!" Grace yelled over her shoulder as she ran to the next house.

I kissed Sarah's forehead, "We're just around the corner, I'd guess 15 more minutes, almost done."

She smiled softly and nodded, "I know."

I passed her Beth's stroller, the little girl inside happily eating a bag of M&Ms in silence.

I jogged to catch up to Grace who was waiting at the edge of the walkway for me, "Go," I gently pushed her.

Grace rolled her eyes at me before stepping up to the door, "Trick or treat!"

I turned to look at Sarah and did a double take. Some guys were talking to her and she didn't exactly look comfortable.

"Grace," I whispered, "Hurry."

"Thank you," Grace said after grabbing a Reese Peanut Butter Cup. She spun around and pranced in front of me, "What do you want, Noah?"

I hurriedly went in front of her and made my way to Sarah, "What's going on?"

One of the guys laughed, "So this must be the king that knocked up Daddy's little princess."

"Gross, isn't the king the princess's dad?" the other asked.

"Back off," I stepped in front of Sarah.

"Stop," Sarah put her hand on my arm, "They're jerks."

The first guy smirked, "We're jerks? Come on princess, I think this guy that got you prego's a jerk."

Sarah opened her mouth to retort only to have the second say, "She's not just any princess, she's Daddy's Little Princess. Ain't it ironic that she got knocked up in the first place?"

"Well guess what?" Sarah spit, "I don't really have a dad, so joke's on you, and I bet when I got pregnant, that was way more action than the two of you ever got combined."

The guys were speechless at Sarah's remark. The first one looked a little apologetic while the second seemed upset.

"That's what I thought," Sarah stated while spinning around. She grabbed Grace's hand and started pushing Beth's stroller, "Come on girls, we have some more candy to get."

I gave them one last glare before following my girls down the sidewalk. I grabbed Sarah's elbow, "You ok?" I whispered.

She quickly nodded and slipped from my grasp, "Wonderful. Now hurry up, I want to go home."

Her and Grace walked up to the door while I bit my lip knowing she was just hiding whatever she was really feeling behind her shield she thought was needed.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I pushed through the front door as I tossed my crown onto the bench. We had made it home a little before quarter to eight, which was good because I was able to take Beth home early without Shelby being upset that she would be up the whole night.

I walked in the living room to see Grace laying on the floor where I left her eating her candy as she talked to Finn, Ms. Carole, and Burt.

Ms. Carole looked up and set a now sleeping Sammie in Burt's arms. She quickly made her way to me and pulled me in the dining room, "Tell me right now what happened out there."

I sighed, "Where is she?"

"So something did happen," Ms. Carole nodded, "Tell me."

"I...some idiots were making fun of her for being pregnant," I muttered.

Ms. Carole gasped, "I knew it," she whispered, "As much as I support her trying to act like a normal teenager, I knew she shouldn't have gone out there."

I ran a hand over my face, "I'll take care of it, where is she?"

"Upstairs," Ms. Carole pursed her lips. Just as I was walking away, she called me back, "Noah."

I turned, "Yeah?"

She took a step closer, "This isn't your fault."

I just gave her a small nod before leaving. I knew that was a lie. Just something she felt like she should tell me so I wouldn't get too mad or upset.

I glanced in the bathroom, our room, and the nursery to find Sarah nowhere. I was about to go back in the living room to ask where she was, when I heard a soft sob come from upstairs.

I quickly ran up there, "Sars! Sarah, where are you?"

The reply I got was a loud sob coming from the bathroom.

I went and turned the knob, only to find it locked, "Come on, Sarah, open up. It's just me."

"Leave me alone," Sarah cried.

"No, I can't do that," I told her, "Open the door."

"No."

I sighed and leaned against the door, "I'm not leaving."

"I want to be alone," Sarah's voice was now closer to the door than before.

"I know that's a lie," I stated.

Sarah cried quietly.

I bit my lip and hit my head against the door.

"I love you," I whispered eventually.

The door cracked open and Sarah stepped out; burying her head in my chest, but not before I could see her swollen face and red eyes. I held her tightly as she cried. The strength of her sobs almost scared me.

I slowly lowered us to the ground, "Shh, it's alright."

She just cried harder. I leaned my head against the top of her's in a small attempt to get her to calm down.

Eventually, Sarah's sobs quieted down and she was reduced to just tears coming down her cheeks.

I wiped them away with my thumb, "What happened?"

"Do you think my dad would be disappointed in me?" she asked quietly.

I hugged her close, "No."

Sarah hid her face in my neck, "Do you know how bad it hurt to have those guys calling me 'Daddy's Little Princess'? I just wanted to die right there."

"No, don't say that," I pulled her back to look in her eyes, "I know it hurt. When some people found out at college that I got you pregnant, they kept taunting me, saying how I must be a piece of crap for doing that to you, and I wanted to disappear, but you know what I thought about? You and Nate and Beth and the others. How I can't leave you for any reason. It doesn't matter what people think. Sure it took a call from Mr. Schue to get that in my head, but I finally realized that."

"You talked to Mr. Schue?" Sarah asked softly, "How come you didn't talk to me?"

I sighed, "Because I didn't want you to get upset."

Sarah stared at me for a minute before kissing me, "Thank you."

"Of course," I breathed against her lips.

"But from now on," she leaned her forehead against mine, "We tell each other everything that happens. I don't care if we'll get upset or angry because of it. I would have wanted to know if you were being made fun of because of me."

I shook my head, "No, you wouldn't have wanted to know the things people have said."

She pursed her lips, "It's nasty stuff, isn't it?"

I slowly nodded, "Yeah."

Sarah sighed and wiggled back out of my grasp, "People are terrible."

"Yup," I breathed.

Sarah looked up and gave a small smile, "You're not terrible."

I chuckled, "Thanks."

"Weird. Slightly disgusting. Annoying," Sarah laughed and crawled closer to me, "Strong. Handsome. Wonderful. My hero," she kissed me like earlier, only now it wasn't out of pity or sympathy, it was out of everything that was Sarah.

I fell back with her kneeling over me as I kissed her harder. I traced my hands down the sides of her costume before tightly gripping her waist.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I was already shirtless and halfway out of my pants when I started unzipping Sarah's dress.

"No," she pulled back.

My eyes widened, "What?"

She blushed, "I don't want you seeing me without clothes on."

I sat up, "Are you serious?"

"Don't get mad," Sarah glared.

I shook my head, "I'm not mad, just a little surprised."

She sighed while climbing off of me, "I'm sorry."

"Hey, come on," I gently grabbed her face, "What is it? Is this about what those jerks said?"

Sarah shrugged.

"You're not ugly," I whispered.

She bit her lip and looked in my eyes, "I have stretch marks now."

I nodded, "I know."

Sarah's jaw dropped and she hit my arm, "What? How?"

I smirked, "When you sleep your shirt gets all messed up, so I decide to get a better look at Nathan. Plus, I could have just guessed. You have two full months left of being pregnant, stretch marks were going to show up sooner or later. Call Quinn, I bet she knows what to do."

Sarah nodded and carefully stood, "Yeah, I'll call her now."

"You can't just leave me here!" I yelled after her.

Sarah laughed, "Put your pants on Puckerman," she called over her shoulder while walking down the stairs, "Moment's over."

I laughed quietly while standing up and tugging on my shirt. She was something else.
