Beginning Our Life

Last Time: Sarah and Puck got in a fight before school. There was a school shooting, trapping Sarah in McKinley as Puck fought to reach her. Once out, Sarah and Puck realized they shouldn't stay mad at each other because any moment could be their last. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

Wedding Surprise

Puck's Point of View

"Hold on, hold on," I muttered to Nate as I ran around the nursery in frustration. Sarah had rearranged the room and I was having a hard time finding the extra diapers.

He cried harder when suddenly, he went still. I panicked. Did my kid just die? That's when I felt a sudden warmth against my stomach.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked him, "Seriously? Did you really just pee on me?"

Nate stuck his tongue out with a hint of a smile.

"Yeah, I bet you think that's real funny," I shook my head. I picked up my phone and sent a quick text to Sarah asking where the diapers were.

She replied: Under bed. Miss and love you

I smiled and sent back: Luv u 2. Come home soon

"Alright, let's get cleaned up," I told Nate while walking over to the bed. I knelt down and set Nate on the carpet before reaching my hand under the mattress to search for the extra diapers. My hand made contact with a plastic box and I pulled it out. I sighed when I noticed there wasn't any diapers inside. I was about to slide it back when I saw a bride magazine under the clear cover.

I opened the box almost hesitantly to see what else was inside. There were many other magazines all involving weddings. Lists upon lists were stacked among the magazines with sticky notes scattered around.

My eyes widened when a piece of paper with a single date written along the top caught my eye. My breathing was harsh as I stared at Sarah's handwriting.

May 5, 2013: We'll be married!

Nate squirmed against my leg and I turned my attention to him. I quickly stuffed everything back into the box and slid it back before picking him up.

"So, no diapers there, but apparently our whole future is," I said quietly while standing. I noticed a red package under the crib and rolled my eyes, of course the diapers were under Nate's bed.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

As soon as Nate was sleeping, I ran upstairs to Finn's room where he was poured over tons of books and papers.

"You have to see this," I stated.

He spun around, "What are you talking about?"

"Just come on," I grabbed his arm and dragged him down to my room. I pulled out the wedding box from under the bed and set it on the bed, "Look," I gestured towards it, "Open it up."

Finn gave me a strange look, but opened the lid anyway. He started rifling through the papers, his eyes widening by the second. He picked up the piece of paper with the date on it and laughed, "You're getting hitched!"

I shoved him, "This isn't funny! Sarah's planning our wedding and I haven't even proposed! Not to mention, that date! We're getting married in a month! Less than a month! That's like three weeks!"

"I think you proposed," Finn said slowly, "Sarah's been wearing a ring around her finger forever."

"How do you know that's an engagement ring?" I countered.

Finn rolled his eyes, "You're talking to the guy who proposed to his own girlfriend in high school. I know an engagement ring when I see one."

"Ok, fine, I proposed," I sighed, "But she said herself that she didn't want to get married now, and that's what I was hoping. I love her and plan on marrying her one day, not in three weeks!"

"Alright, alright, calm down," Finn put his hands on my shoulders, "Is marriage really a bad thing? You guys have a kid."

I shoved him off, "There's nothing wrong with marriage! But there's something wrong with planning a wedding and not bothering to tell your boyfriend, excuse me, fiancé."

"Well," Finn went through the papers. He pulled up one with a tux marked Puck, "Look, she already got you a suit."

"Shut up," I groaned and snatched the paper. "Just leave," I muttered.

Finn smirked, "See ya later, brother in-law."

"Out!" I pointed towards the door.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I sat on the bed waiting for Sarah to come home any minute. I heard the front door opened and her footsteps down the hall. I sat up a little straighter just as she walked in.

"Hey," she smiled. She dropped her backpack on the bed and kissed me softly, "Nate sleeping?"

"Yeah," I nodded slowly. I grabbed her hand and pulled her down next to me, "We need to talk."

"Uh-oh, is my boyfriend breaking up with me?" Sarah teased.

I nervously chuckled, "Not in my book, but maybe in yours."

Her face turned serious, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm not ready to get married," I stated quietly.

Sarah's mouth gaped for a second matched with an expression of confusion before her eyes flashed, "You went through my stuff?" she screeched.

"Well, kinda," I admitted.

"I cannot believe you!" she fell off the bed and pulled out the box. She quickly opened it and gasped, "You went through everything! This was organized in order and now it's ruined!"

"Hey! You're the one planning our wedding without even talking to me about it!" I defended.

"You proposed to me! What more could you want?" Sarah yelled.

"Ok, but when I gave you that ring, it was meant to be used in the future, not when we were teenagers," I reasoned slowly.

"And when I said at a later date, I meant when I wasn't pregnant," she matched my tone.

I sighed, "Alright, maybe we both should have been more clear in our questions and answers."

Sarah slowly sat back up on the bed, "And I should have talked to you first before just doing it."

"Why?" I asked softly, "Why now?"

Sarah looked down at her hands, "Life was put in respective after that school shooting, you know what I mean? It's the same way you felt when we broke up for those couple days. I never want to be alone and I don't want to waste anymore time. We already have a baby and you practically bought me an apartment for my birthday, we're pretty much set."

I lifted her chin and gave her a small smile, "Exactly, we're pretty much set. We don't need a wedding to tell each other we love the other. That can wait. What can't wait is the lying and the secrets. Next time you plan a wedding, care to include me?"

She smirked softly, "Yeah."

"So, I have to ask," I started and leaned back to lie on the bed, "Were you seriously thinking about getting married in three weeks?"

Sarah blushed, "I was going to tell you eventually."

"Sure," I pulled her down on top of me. "Tell me, where was this going to be?"

"We were going to run away," she muttered, "To Vegas."

"What?" I sat up, "You're kidding me!"

"I know it seems crazy, but it's the only way we could ever get married," Sarah said softly.

I shook my head, "Are you trying to get your mom to kill me?"

Sarah laughed, "I'm sorry. It all sounded reasonable in the middle of a school shooting."

"Yeah, ok," I nodded, "But it'd be pretty hard to elope when your fiancé is dead."

"I'm sorry," Sarah kissed my cheek, "I just needed to secure our future."

"I understand, hence the reason I gave you the ring," I lifted her hand to look at it. "I don't regret it, either," I breathed.

Sarah smiled, "And I don't regret accepting it."

Finn walked in the room, "So...when's the wedding?"

Sarah's eyes flashed to me and she shoved my chest, "You told him?"

"Sorry," I shrugged, "I panicked."

Finn chuckled, "You two are hilarious, like you seriously make me smile each day with how stupid you are."

"Hey!" Sarah and I snapped at him.

Sarah flung a pillow across the room at him, "You almost got married last year, so don't judge us!"

"And don't say anything to your mom either," I added.

"Please," Finn rolled his eyes, "Mom probably can't wait until you two are married and moved out. She wouldn't mind seeing as you guys already have a baby and spend most of your time in here anyways."

"He has a point," I told Sarah.

She sighed, "Whatever." She stood and went into the nursery to get Nate. I heard her whisper softly to him and saw her hug him close.

I looked towards Finn, "Would you mind?"

He smirked, "Sure."

Sarah returned once her brother was gone, "Don't you think Nate'll be cute as the ring bearer?"

I smiled, "Yeah."

"But maybe we should wait until he can walk down the aisle," Sarah muttered.

I smirked and lifted Nate from her arms, "I think that sounds great."

She softly kissed the side of my mouth, "Can you just imagine when we actually get married?"

I smiled at the thought, "I don't want it to be too huge. Maybe just like 500 people."

Sarah laughed, "Ok, well, I thought of some people that definitely have to be there and the number of those people does not add up to 500, so we're safe."

I smirked, "Good."

"I've also been thinking about something else," she said softly, "I think I'd like to raise Nate Jewish."

"Really?" I asked.

Sarah nodded, "I mean, we did that baby thing when he was born and I remember stuff Rachel wanted to do at her wedding that would make it special."

I sighed, "Honestly, I'm glad and the fact that you made this decision makes me happy, but what about Christmas? You love Christmas, do you really want to give it up?"

"We don't have to," Sarah protested, "We can do our own little thing. We can combine Christmas and Hanukkah. Jake does it."

"Yeah, because Jake's mom isn't Jewish and she raised him," I said.

"If you don't want to, that's fine," Sarah muttered.

I ran a hand over my face before looking down at Nate, "What do you think? Wanna be like Uncle Jake? Want the best of both worlds?"

He squeaked and brought his hands in the air.

I chuckled, "I think that decides it then. You'll like it, kiddo, I promise."

Sarah suddenly jumped up and faced me, "I know what we're going to do right now."

"Right now?" I laughed.

She grinned, "Right now." She ran to the nursery and came back with Nate's diaper bag and jacket, "We are going to go out. Me and you and Nate. For dinner. At Breadsticks."

I raised my eyebrows, "We've never done that before."

"First time for everything," Sarah shrugged, "Come on, please. I'll drive."

"Well," I stood with a smirk, "How can I say no to that?"

Sarah laughed and grabbed her keys, "If we're going to get married, we might as well start acting like it."

I chuckled and watched her dart from the room. I looked down at Nate, "She's crazy, but you better be good. I swear if she ends up in tears in the end, this isn't going to end well for me, no matter what the reason."

Nate stuck his tongue out and gurgled.

I smiled, "Just keep doing that and we'll be in the clear."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

A/N: So...marriage isn't around the corner yet. I actually know how I'd like the wedding to happen, but I'm not sure if I'll ever get that far in the story. It might actually end up being the epilogue. Either way, what'd you think? PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I'd love to hear your opinion on the whole thing!

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Alex B. Goode - Thanks! I'll try and get them in a scene every once and a while despite them not being on the show.

Tyra - Aw, thank you!

dance-sing-live - Gosh, thank you so much! Puck and Tina is one of those ships that I kinda like too despite it being a little weird. You'll see about college next chapter, so I won't say anything :) And thanks for your review on the one shot! I'm glad you like them!

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Sneak Peak: I kept my eyes on my hands, twisting them and playing with my fingers, to avoid staring at Puck's reaction. He stuttered, "I don't get it, what are you all doing here?" "Telling you that despite everything, you really should go to college and we're going to do our hardest to convince you it's the right thing to do for everyone, especially your family," Mr. Schue answered.

You can't run away from your future.
