Beginning Our Life

Last Time: Puck found Sarah's wedding box and was surprised with her bluntness. Sarah apologized, but both knew they were ready for marriage in the future. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.

Intervention

Sarah's Point of View

"He's going to hate me," I whispered.

"No, he won't," Blaine assured, "He loves you."

"Plus, once he hears everything we're all going to say, he'll understand," Quinn added.

Burt stepped back from the computer, "Alright, I think we're ready."

Kurt, Rachel, and Santana waved at us through Skype.

Sammie screamed in joy from Mom's lap at Kurt.

Kurt laughed, "Hi, Sammie."

The front door opened and Puck walked in with Nate in his arms, the carrier draped over his elbow, "Hi every-" He stopped at the sight of all of us and there was a lot. Not just Quinn, Blaine, Burt, Mom, Kurt, Rachel, and Santana, but Mr. Schue, Jake, Sam, Finn, and Coach Beiste were here as well.

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.

Puck set the carrier down and slowly walked in the living room. He stopped in front of me, "Sarah, can I talk to you, please?"

I looked up, "Hi."

"Hey," he gave a small smile and knelt down in front of me, "I need to talk to you."

Before I could answer, Jake came and grabbed Puck's elbow, "Come on, you can sit next to me."

Puck was dragged away to the love seat and slowly sat down, "So you're all here to take me to college?"

Sam turned around and looked up at him, "No, just make you go."

Quinn reached over and took Nate from his arms, "We love you and want what's best for you."

"And what's best for you is to prepare for your future," Rachel piped up.

Puck's head snapped to the computer, "Even you're all here?"

"Let's get to what we planned," Mom interrupted. "Noah, everyone here knows that you quit college. Why?" she asked.

"Why does everyone know I quit?" Puck asked, "Because Finn's a snoop and went through my mail and business."

Finn glared at him, "Maybe you shouldn't lie and just be honest with people. And I wasn't snooping, I was just listening to the messages."

Puck stood, "Well, you ruined my life."

"Momentarily," Finn jumped up.

"You could have killed Sarah!" Puck yelled and pointed to me.

"Hey! Her actions are her consequences!" Finn yelled back.

I felt my face burn in embarrassment, pleading neither was going to admit what I did.

"Enough," Coach Beiste squished herself between the two of them and shoved them back a couple steps, "We aren't here to fight."

Mom and Burt's eyes were narrowed and keeping track of every movement I made.

"What'd Momma do?" Santana smirked.

"Nothing," I snapped.

"Let's get back on track," Blaine stated as everyone sat down.

"I don't need to go to college," Puck said, "I don't even know what I want to do."

"You screen write," Quinn pointed out, "Don't you want to do that?"

"I don't know," Puck shrugged.

"Either way, it doesn't matter if you don't know what you want to do," Burt said, "You can still go and get the basic, required classes under your belt, and then you can figure out what you want your job to be."

"You know I went to college to be an account," Mr. Schue stated, "But is that how you know me? No, I was your teacher. I changed my career. You're not stuck with whatever you originally think is going to be your future. You can change at anytime. Students change their major all the time in college."

Puck shook his head, "And what's going to happen when I get all my required classes, but still don't know what I wanted? I'm screwed."

"Be a teacher like me," Finn smiled.

"No, that doesn't seem right," Kurt said, "You need something good. What about sports writing? Like reviews. You like football and writing, so why not combine the two?"

I perked up, "That actually sounds really good."

"I agree," Quinn nodded.

"What about me?" Puck asked, "Doesn't it matter what I think? And isn't a sports writer kind of an ambitious job?"

"Of course, honey, these are just ideas," Mom assured.

"Hey, what about something really cool," Sam said, "Like a video game maker or the president?"

For the first time, Puck smiled, "Sounds good."

"And stupid," Santana stated, "There is no way in hell you're ever going to be president."

Rachel rolled her eyes and put her hand up, "What Santana is trying to say is that you should focus on something more realistic-"

"Like Broadway?" Puck scoffed, "Right."

"I think you should just do what we were originally thinking," Jake said, "Go to college and take a couple classes to get you started and while you're there, you'll figure everything out."

"I don't know," Puck sank back into the pillows, "This sucks."

"Don't you want your son to have a bright future?" Coach Beiste asked, "Think about Nathan."

"I am," Puck groaned with a glance to Nate still safe in Quinn's arms, "And I'm thinking that right now, I get to stay at home with him and take care of him while Sarah goes to school."

"That's true," I muttered, "When I'm at school, I know Nate's safe."

"What about your mom?" Blaine asked softly.

"Yeah, what about your mom?" Mom repeated with a smile, "You know I love my grandson and I'd do anything to keep him happy and entertained while his parents are at school."

Puck ran a hand over his face and sighed, "It's still not really my first choice. I mean, I'd rather not."

There was a knock on the door and Burt went to get it. When he opened the door, Shelby was there smiling with Beth in her arms.

"Sorry we're late," Shelby said while walking in, "Someone was stubborn and didn't want to wake up from her nap."

Beth wiggled down Shelby and ran towards Puck, "Hi, Daddy!"

He chuckled and threw her up in the air before catching her, "Hey, monkey face, what's up?"

"We come to make Daddy go to school," Beth kissed his cheek.

I noticed Puck freeze slightly and turn towards Shelby.

She smiled, then waved to everyone including those on the computer, "Hi, everyone."

"Hi, Shelby!" Rachel said loudly.

Shelby leaned over the chair, "Alright, Puckerman, you going to college or not?"

Puck shrugged, "I'm not sure."

"What if I reminded you of a little deal we made back during the summer?" Shelby asked, "Do you remember when you, Sarah, and Quinn asked for custody of Beth in four years? What was a little point that was made?"

Puck searched his brain before his jaw dropped, "You wouldn't," he hissed.

Shelby raised her eyebrows, "Noah, the deal was, you get custody of Beth after college, right?"

He nodded slowly, "Yeah."

"Then do this for Beth," Shelby said.

"How?" Puck asked quietly.

"Night classes."

Everyone turned to me. I was surprised when it came from my mouth, but the explanation was reasonable. Puck could take care of Nate during the day, then go to classes at night.

"I agree with Sarah," Rachel smiled, "But I have one better. What about online classes?"

"I want to do that," Finn stated.

"No," Mom shook her head, "You don't have a baby to take care of, Noah does. Rachel, I think that's a great idea."

"So do I," Puck said. He smiled towards me, "Thanks."

I shrugged, "It was Finn's idea."

"Well, it was my idea to bring up college," Rachel stated, "But Finn came up with the intervention technique."

"Thanks, then, to everyone," Puck looked around, "I don't know what'd I'd do without you."

"Love Daddy," Beth squeezed his neck.

Puck chuckled and hugged her back, "Thanks, darling."

Everyone slowly began to leave until it was just us, Shelby and Beth, Quinn, and the people in New York left.

Rachel reached forward to turn off Skype, when Puck stopped her, "No, wait, I think Rachel needs to come clean about something now that we're alone."

Rachel froze and looked across the screen, "We're not really alone."

"Just your family left," Puck shrugged, "Now, Rachel, tell us what you were hiding last month."

Rachel glared at him, "Noah, this isn't funny."

"I may appreciate the help you brought up," Puck said, "But I didn't really ask for it or want it, so now I want you to come clean too. What happened on Valentine's day?"

"You all know," Rachel sighed, "You were all there, well, mostly. Finn and I were together."

Finn's eyes narrowed at Puck, "What are you getting at?"

"Puck, I don't think this is right," I whispered.

"Rachel thought she was pregnant," Puck stated with eyes locked on Rachel, "And she only told Santana. Sarah found out by accident and then she told me."

Shock covered everyone's face. I groaned. Puck can honestly be an idiot.

"Of course, Rachel isn't pregnant," Puck continued, "But I thought you should all know."

Finn shot up in his chair and grabbed the laptop, "Kurt, Santana, out. Not just out of the screen, out." He marched past all of us upstairs, "Kurt, I can still see you."

"Noah," Mom sighed before leaving the room. Shelby and Burt followed with similar expressions.

"I think you're a moron," Quinn shook her head while rocking Nate back and forth, "That wasn't really fair. That wasn't your secret to tell."

"That's exactly what I told him," I nodded.

Beth looked up at Puck, "Daddy in trouble?"

Puck kissed her head, "Probably, but it was for the good of Uncle Finn."

"I guess that's true," Quinn breathed.

"Pass me my son," I put my arms out.

Quinn smiled and set him in my arms, "He's so warm."

"He's perfect," I poked his tiny nose.

"Thanks again, you two," Puck said softly, "Really, the fact that you care so much about me and my kids means a lot."

"Well, idiot," I teased, "We happen to be the mothers of those kids and we both love you a lot, in different ways, but a lot."

Quinn nodded, "Puck, you deserve to have as bright a future as everyone else."

He smiled, "Thanks."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Once Quinn, Shelby, and Beth left, Puck brought me to our room to help him sign up for college. I leaned over his shoulder the whole time to help.

When we finally finished, I placed a kiss under his ear, "I am so proud of you."

He reached an arm around to hug me against him, "Thank you, babe."

I laughed, "Thanks for ruining the moment."

"That's my job," Puck spun the chair around and pulled me down on his lap, "Alright, your mom has the boy and I believe our door is-"

There was a knock on the door followed by like a million more, "Hey, Puck, get your hands off my sister and open the door."

I groaned and went to answer it, "What do you want, Finn?"

He walked in the room, "I just wanted to say thank you. Even though I was pretty mad at first, I think Rach and I are closer now. I even helped her with her Funny Girl audition."

"That's great," Puck smiled.

"We're going to get back together," Finn stated confidently. "Hey, maybe we can have a joint wedding," he teased.

I shoved him, "No way. We're getting married alone. No other Hudsons are aloud."

Finn smirked, "I was just kidding, but again," he looked towards Puck, "Thanks." He left the room and shut the door.

I quickly locked it, "Now, we are alone."

"Fantastic," Puck scooted the chair towards me extremely slowly, due to the carpet, and kind of stupidly.

I doubled over in laughter and screeched when Puck lifted me onto his lap.

"No laughing, this is serious stuff," Puck grunted while gently tossing me onto the bed.

I tried holding in my laughter, but failed horribly.

"You can't even talk," Puck laughed while climbing over me, "You can't stop. You're crazy."

I tried shoving him off of me to no avail, "Stop."

"No, never," Puck whispered in my ear.

I laughed harder, "Alright, alright, I'm good."

Puck smiled, "Great."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

A/N: I finally decided how to do the college thing. I actually decided right in the middle of writing this. Each idea I had was pretty much another person talking. I even wrote this in one day (like two hours) so that's an accomplishment. I hope you liked this and how it turned out. If you have any ideas on what Puck should do in the future, tell me, because I honestly have no idea. I'll go along with whatever the show says, but if they never say anything, then I have no idea. If you read the one shots, then you can tell because I never mention what his job exactly is. Ok, sorry for the long AN. PLEASE REVIEW with questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I'd love to hear your opinions!

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Alex B. Goode - Thank you!

Tyra - Your review reminded me of the pregnancy thing, so I put it in here as a second intervention. I hope you liked how I brought it about.

dance-sing-live - Ok, jealous that you're going to the tour, that's awesome. And I love that you love Sarah and Puck, it makes me smile.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Sneak Peak: I stared at Mr. Schue, "Are you kidding me? You're seriously kicking me out?" He shrugged, "You could be working for the other team." "Other team!" I yelled and stood, "Alright, fine, whatever, I quit."

Remember when Mr. Schue was really mad at everyone, Sarah may end up on the other end of that anger.
