Beginning Our Life
Last Time: Sarah celebrated her 17th birthday. Puck offered to buy her an apartment so they could move out. Carole became suspicious of the ring on Sarah's finger. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any songs that I may put in here.

Sarah's Point of View
"I'm on your side," I told Finn as he cleaned Mr. Schue's office.
"Yeah, well, that doesn't matter, now does it?" Finn asked.
I rolled my eyes and jumped up to sit on the desk, "You could at least say 'Thank you' seeing as I might be the only one."
"Thank you," Finn grunted while bending down to clean up a pile of dog food. "He doesn't even have a dog!" Finn yelled, "This is ridiculous!"
I sighed, "Do you think he's every going to let up?"
"I don't know," Finn grumbled.
There was a knock on the door and we turned to see Marley standing there, "Can I talk to you, Sarah?"
"I guess," I slid to the floor and walked over to her.
"Be nice," Finn whispered.
"I know," I muttered.
I followed Marley to the choir room. She sat at the piano and smiled, "What's up?"
I sat in the rolling chair, "What are you doing? I'm going to be straight up, I'm still annoyed about your whole Jake/Ryder thing. I was civil at my birthday, but that's it."
"Jake and I talked," Marley said, "I love him, not Ryder. I promise."
"Do you realize how broken up he was?" I asked, "Jake came to our house devastated that you cheated on him. He may just be my boyfriend's brother, but he's family and I care a lot about him."
Marley nodded, "I'm sorry." She watched me for a second before smiling, "I know you're going to forgive me."
I glared at her before turning away, "You don't know me."
"I know that I'm your friend and no matter what I've done to Jake, you're going to eventually forgive me. Even if you wouldn't on your own, Jake did and that would be enough for you," Marley told me.
I smiled softly and turned back, "I hate it when you're right."
She smiled back and stood, "Hug?"
I laughed and jumped up to hug her, "I missed you."
"I missed you, too," Marley replied.
We pulled back, "So, what have I missed?" I asked.
Marley shrugged, "Nothing much. You?"
"Just turned 17," I smiled.
"I actually really hoped you would forgive me because the glee club and I need you to do something," Marley said.
"Ok...," I muttered.
She stuck her head out the door, "You guys, come on."
I watched everyone file in and noticed that Brittany and Kitty were the only ones missing. Joe took my arm and sat me in one of the chairs while everyone else stood on the other side of the room. Once I was sitting, Joe went to stand with the others.
"What's going on?" I asked.
Sugar about opened her mouth, but then Brittany came in with Kitty. "I found her," Brittany stated while sitting Kitty in the chair two down from me.
"Can you tell me why I'm here?" Kitty asked.
"You two are feuding," Artie stated.
"And it needs to stop," Unique added.
"What are you talking about?" I stared at them all before landing on Unique, Ryder, and Jake, "You're all feuding."
"Sarah, you are a key member of this group," Blaine said, "And no matter what the others say, you're kind of the captain, at least the girl one."
"What about me?" Kitty asked.
"We just need Sarah to be happy, which means we have to deal with you," Tina said.
I smirked at her, "Apparently everyone loves me and not you."
"How about you shut your pie hole?" Kitty snarled, "I'm sure Marley's mom has something for you to eat, unless she doesn't want to share."
"Hey!" Jake yelled, "Back off."
"This is exactly it," Ryder sighed, "You two hate each other so much that you can't even have a real conversation."
"So together, you two are singing a mash up duet," Brittany continued.
"I refuse," I shook my head.
"For once, I agree with Preggo," Kitty stated.
"Too bad," Sam said.
"Sorry," Marley nodded.
"It's for the best," Joe added.
I crossed my arms, "This isn't going to be good."
"I'm going to kill her," Kitty nodded.
"Can't you guys please just suck it up for the good of the team?" Blaine pleaded, "Please?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
"Does he ever shut up?" Kitty muttered.
I glared at her while rocking Nate to sleep. He's been crying on and off for the past half hour causing us to get no where in our duet. It didn't help that Puck was out working right now and couldn't take him.
"Aren't you his mom? What's wrong with you? Mom's are supposed to get their kids to sleep," Kitty continued, "I guess you are a teen mom so you can mess up a little and nothing bad'll happen. Just slip him a couple pills in his milk and we'll be good to go."
"That's it," I stood up and yelled over Nate's persistent cries, "Out!" I pointed at the door, "Get out of my house."
"Gladly," Kitty spit. She pushed off the desk chair and marched to the door that she slammed shut while leaving.
I watched as she left and sighed, "Finally. Mommy's sorry, Nate. She's a mean person and I don't like that you had to meet her."
"Hey! Let me down!" There was a scuffle in the living room and suddenly the door flew open again. Jake walked in with Kitty over his shoulder as Blaine and Marley followed.
"Really, you guys?" Blaine scoffed.
"What are you even doing here?" I asked.
"We came to make sure you'd actually practice," Marley said, "So why aren't you?"
I nodded towards the still screaming Nate in my arms, "I'm a little busy."
Jake tossed Kitty on the bed, "I'll take him. He just wants his uncle." Jake came and took Nate from me, "Now start getting along."
Everyone left and Kitty and I were left alone. We stared at each other in a strange silence.
"Your bed's comfortable," Kitty said awkwardly after a while.
"You're sitting on Puck's side," I told her quietly.
"Oh," she whispered. She cleared her throat, "You guys sleep in the same bed?"
"Yeah," I muttered.
Kitty played with the edge of the blanket, "Do you love him?"
I smiled for the first time, "Yeah, I really do."
"Want to do our song on love?" she asked.
"Do you even know what that feels like?" I shot at her. I instantly felt bad, though, "I mean, who do you love?"
She shrugged, "No one really."
"Have you loved someone?" I asked.
She almost shook her head, when she shrugged, "It was those damn Puckermans."
I laughed, "Seriously?"
She cracked a smile, "Jake's great and when his brother got all defensive, it was really hot." She blushed, "Sorry about that by the way."
I shrugged myself, "No harm done. I had a killer headache from your hair pulling, though."
Kitty laughed, "No kidding. I think you're the one who hurt me when you threw me in the freaking locker."
"We fought over a guy," I pointed out, "I would say that's something we have in common."
"Your boyfriend?" Kitty asked with a laugh.
I shrugged, "Well, just any guy. You lost Puck and Jake. I've lost guys in the past, well a guy, but still. We've both experienced heartbreak."
"Tell me about your heartbreak since you know about mine," she stated.
I sighed, "I didn't love the guy, just trusted him and then he tried to attack me, so that just caused some heartbreak."
"Sorry," Kitty said softly, "That sucks."
"Have you ever heard of the song 50 Ways to Say Goodbye?" I asked.
"That Train song about some guy lying to his friends about what happened to his girlfriend? Yeah," she nodded.
"That guy kinda seems like an ass," I stated, "And that's exactly like that jerk who played me and, no offense to my boyfriend, but Puck used to be the same."
Kitty smirked, "I think we found a song, girlfriend."
"We need one more," I thought out loud, "Ideas?"
Kitty's phone rang. The P!nk son Try blared throughout the room. I smiled at the lyrics until she answered it. This might work.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Kitty and I met in the girls' bathroom before Glee to change into our costumes. I emerged from the stall in the white sundress Kurt sent me for my birthday. Kitty came out wearing a light blue sundress and rolled her eyes at my reflection in the mirror.
"Really?" she asked, "You look like the perfect Virgin Mary and we both know you're anything but."
I glared at her while pulling my hair up in a loose ponytail, "I thought after the other day we agreed to be nice."
"I'm just being honest," Kitty shrugged.
I grabbed Puck's leather jacket and pulled it on. We were going for the good-girl-gone-bad-because-of-her-ex kinda thing. "Did you find a jacket?" I asked.
Kitty held up a similar one to Puck's, "Yup, the other Puckerman leant me his when I told him it was for Glee."
I raised my eyebrows, "You're not trying to steal him from Marley, are you?"
"No," Kitty shook her head and slipped the jacket on, "Of course not. Isn't this song about closure anyways?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Kitty and I stood together in front of the glee club waiting to introduce our song.
"Go ahead," Finn smiled.
"Who gave you permission to run the club today?" Mr. Schue asked Finn.
I winced, but started, "So, Kitty and I mixed together these two songs to tell a story of a guy being a jerk and the girl picking herself up again."
"And like you all wanted," Kitty continued, "We bonded while practicing, so we hope you're happy."
(Kitty, Sarah, Both)
My heart is paralyzed
My head was oversized
I'll take the high road like I should
You said it's meant to be
That it's not you, it's me
You're leaving now for my own good
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
She went down in an airplane
Fried getting suntanned
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She met a shark under water
Fell and no one caught her
I returned everything I ever bought her
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right
She was caught in a mudslide
Eaten by a lion
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
Help me, help me, I'm no good at goodbyes!
She dried up in the desert
Drowned in a hot tub
Danced to death at an east side night club
Help me, help me, I'm all out of lies
And ways to say you died
Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by by by
I wanna live a thousand lives with you
I wanna be the one you're dying to love...
But you don't want to
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try and try and try
You gotta get up and try and try and try
We stopped our elaborate dance in an attempt at a sexy pose. Between gulps of air, we glanced at each other and burst into laughter. So what if the song was kinda choppy? It was fun.
Blaine came and gave me a tight hug, "That was awesome," he looked at Kitty, "You too." He leaned closer to my ear, "I'm proud of you."
I smiled and hugged him closer, "Thanks."
Mr. Schue clapped his hands, "You guys were great, but I think we have another performance today, right?"
"You guys," Marley pointed at him and Finn.
Mr. Schue nodded with a small glare towards Finn, "I'll meet you all there." He left the room and a couple people followed.
I glanced at Finn, "You ready?"
He sighed, "Yeah, I guess."
We walked together down to the auditorium where I left him to stand with the other girls at the front of the stage.
"I wish Puck could have seen you," Tina smirked.
"Now we need to find you a boyfriend," Brittany poked Kitty.
"Oh, I'll find one someday," Kitty smiled.
Finn and Mr. Schue began their song and all the girls ran closer to the stage. I just rolled my eyes and sat in a seat. I was not going to fawn all over my brother, that's gross.
When they finished, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Mr. Schue to forgive Finn, but it never happened. My eyes widened as Finn left the stage.
I jumped up, "Finn!" I ran backstage to find him, "Finn! Where are you?" I heard something get kicked over and knew Finn was near.
"What? Sarah, what?" he yelled, "I can obviously never do anything right. Do you want to rub it in or something?"
"No, of course not," I shook my head, "I just wanted to make sure you were ok."
He sighed, "Yeah, sorry, I'm fine. Out of a job, but I'm fine."
I hugged him, "You'll be ok. We'll find something for you."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
"So I missed a fight and a kick ass performance by you?" Puck asked while leaning back against the headboard.
I smirked and carefully sat next to him since I was feeding Nate, "Yup."
"I miss Glee," Puck sighed as he looked down at Nate, "So much drama in such a short time."
I laughed, "That sounds exactly right."
Puck smiled, "How about you dance a little for me right now?"
"Oh, I don't know," I blushed and looked down at Nate, "I'm feeding the baby."
"Come on, please," Puck begged.
"No," I giggled.
"How about I dance for you?" he asked.
I full out laughed, "No, thank you."
Puck smirked, "Fine."
"I'd do have something I'd like you to do, though," I said softly.
"Yeah?" Puck moved closer to me.
"Change Nate's diaper?" I asked.
Puck chuckled and kissed the side of my head, "Of course." He lifted Nate from my arms, "Come on, kiddo, Mom says you stink."
"Liar," I laughed as they went in the nursery, "Baby, Mommy never said that. Mommy loves you."
Puck smirked over his shoulder as he set Nate on the changing table, "Love you."
I stuck my tongue out, "Right."
He smiled and began changing Nate. I listened as he sang so quietly it was almost impossible to hear, but it still made me happy.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
A/N: So now Kitty and Sarah are sorta friends. I hope the mash-up wasn't too bad. I did something like it in school, but this was an actual song so it was harder. Oh well, I hope you liked it!

Sneak Peak: "Before I say what my guilty pleasure is, I just want you guys to know that this song is for my dad and I don't-or shouldn't-care what you all think," I said softly.
Sarah dedicates her guilty pleasure to her dad on his birthday.
