Never Forgotten Past

Last Time: Finn realized that Sarah is better off with Puck. Puck asked Sarah is she wants to go to homecoming and she said yes. Quinn doesn't like Sarah and told Puck she shouldn't be aloud to see Beth. Sarah was scared Quinn didn't like her, but Puck told her to ignore the teen mother. And that's what you missed on Never Forgotten Past.

Little, Perfect Girl

Sarah's Point of View

I sat in the living room, barely paying attention to the Channel 4 news. Puck was going to be here any minute to take me to go and see Beth. I was so nervous. This was my boyfriend's daughter I was meeting. Sure she was only a year old, but still. What if she hated me? I wouldn't be able to get married to Puck then because my step-daughter would hate me.

There was a knock on the door and I slowly walked to answer it.

"Hey, you ready?" Puck asked when I opened the door.

"Sure," I turned back and yelled in the house, "Mom! Puck's here! I'll be back by 9:30."

I walked out and closed the door behind me.

"Alright, so Shelby said she'll be back around nine," Puck helped me into the truck and closed the door before walking around and getting in on his side, "So we'll feed Beth, play with her, bathe her, then put her to bed."

I nodded, "That's a lot for three hours."

Puck just shrugged, "It's kinda fun."

I stared out the window, ''You would've been a good dad, you know like full time."

His hand lightly stroked my leg so I gave him my hand, "Maybe we could try it out in the future."

I turned and smiled at him, "Sounds like fun."

"Are you nervous?"

"I don't know," I whispered, "I don't want her to hate me."

"She won't," Puck said, "I mean, she's my daughter and I love you so she'll love you."

I laughed, "I don't think that's how genetics work, but thanks."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

We pulled up to the small condo. Both of us jumped from the truck and we made our way to the porch hand-in-hand. Puck knocked lightly on the door.

Shelby opened it and smiled, "Perfect, right on time." She stood back and Puck and I walked in the kitchen.

"Hey Bethie," Puck cooed as he picked Beth up from her playpen.

Beth had little blond curls and a perfect face. Her eyes were exactly the same shade of hazel as Puck's. She clapped and laughed at Puck and I couldn't help but smile. I stared at her. She was perfect. So sweet and innocent. Not knowing anything about this crazy world. I wanted one.

"Ok, so you know what to do, make sure she sleeps and eats," Shelby said as she walked towards Puck and Beth, "Love you Beth. Be good for Noah and Sarah."

And with a small wave and a blown kiss, Shelby was gone through the door.

"You want to hold her?" Puck asked me.

"Will she let me?" I asked.

"I think so," Puck glanced at Beth, "Can Sarah hold you?" Puck pointed at me. Beth followed his finger. She had a small smile, but hid her face in the crook of Puck's neck.

I walked slowly towards Puck and Beth. I lightly placed my hand on Beth's back and she turned her head.

"Hi," I whispered.

Beth put her hand out and a I gave her one of my fingers which she held onto, "She's strong," I said to Puck.

"Yeah, she's got my strength and Quinn's poise. She'll be an awesome athlete."

I laughed and Beth joined me. She reached her arms out and I happily took her.

"Be good for Sarah, Bethie. I have to go get your food," Puck walked over to the cabinets and started looking for a baby food meal.

I took Beth and sat on the couch. I set her down in front of some blocks on the coffee table and just watched her. She handed me all the blue blocks and built a house with the red and yellow ones.

"Beth, use all the colors," I teased the little girl. Beth just shook her head at me and went back to her blocks.

I laughed at her. Puck made his way over to me and sat on the couch with two jars of baby food and a spoon.

"Do you really think she's going to eat that cleanly?" I asked.

"Well, I couldn't find a bib," Puck replied.

I got up and walked over to where a diaper bag was sitting next to the door. I searched for a bib as Puck pulled Beth onto his lap and got her ready to eat.

"Here it is," I went back to the small family and gently placed the pink bib around the little girl's neck.

"Alright baby, here goes nothing," Puck muttered as he dipped the spoon in the jar labeled 'Chicken.'

Beth opened her mouth expectantly, making us both laugh. She happily ate the chicken, even pounding her fists against Puck's arm when it was all gone.

"Your turn," Puck said to me.

"What do you mean?" I actually knew what he was talking about, but I didn't want to feed her. I loved watching Puck feed Beth, it was cute and made me smile.

"Feed her."

"But I think you should feed her."

Puck thought for a moment before turning to Beth, "What do you say Bethie? Want Sarah to feed you or Daddy?"

At the word 'Daddy' Beth looked excitedly towards Puck and waved her hands. It was probably the cutest thing I had ever seen.

"Alright, Daddy it is," Puck chuckled.

Beth only ate half of the jar before she rubbed her eyes from sleep.

"Is it bed time Beth?" I said as I wiped her chin from left over 'Mash Potatoes.'

"Actually, she needs a bath first," Puck said.

He picked Beth up and brought her to the bathroom with me walking behind.

Puck filled up the tub and placed the bath seat in it as I undressed the little girl. Beth squirmed softly as I finished with her.

"Come here monkey face," Puck put his arms out and I handed him his daughter.

Puck tried to splash water on her little body, but Beth just kept crying. He began to try and wash her hair, but it was hard with Beth moving around and whimpering.

"Here, let me try," Puck moved over and I knelt in the same spot where he had just been, "What's wrong Beth?" I said softly.

I gently scrubbed her head then did the same with the body wash. There were still tears coming from Beth's eyes, but they were silent now.

I finished bathing the little girl and lifted her from the tub. Puck held a towel out and helped me wrap her in it.

"I'll go get her pajamas," Puck muttered as he walked from the room.

"I think you got Daddy mad missy. He wanted to give you a bath but you were being stubborn. I know it's probably weird having a boy wash you, but he's your dad so it's ok. I promise when you get older and need someone to talk to, I'll be there for you. Even if I'm not around and dating Daddy, I promise with all my heart that I'll be there."

I kept drying her off as I talked. I didn't really know where it had all come from, but I know I meant every word.

"So when you like a boy and Daddy doesn't want you to go out with him and you're too scared to tell Shelby or Quinn, you can tell me because I promise I won't tell any of them. That is unless it's life threatening or something, but you wouldn't ever consider doing something like that, right?"

"You're good with her," Puck's soft voice made me jump.

I turned around to see him leaning against the door frame holding a small green footie pajama set.

"How long have you been there?" I couldn't help but be a little embarrassed that my boyfriend heard me give his daughter advice when she's only a year old. She couldn't even understand me.

"Ever since you said she can tell you anything even if you're not dating me anymore."

I groaned. That was a lot that he heard.

"Hey now, it's ok. I thought it was sweet how you're willing to always be in Beth's life, even if she's not yours," Puck made his way over to where I was sitting next to the tub with Beth in my lap.

"And I don't plan on breaking up with you anytime soon, so I won't have to worry about her wandering off just to tell her dad's ex-girlfriend something."

I smiled at him as he grabbed Beth and started dressing her. She cooed as he carefully put her in the footie pjs.

"Ok, Bethie, time for bed," Puck said as he picked up Beth.

We both stood and I followed him to a small room at the back of the hallway. It was a light pink with white carpet and white furniture.

Puck gently placed Beth in her crib and kissed her forehead, "Night baby."

I leaned into the crib and stroked her hair softly, "Sweet dreams, Beth."

Puck walked out of the room quietly and I followed, turning the light off as I passed through the door.

"We have an hour and a half till Shelby is supposed to be back," Puck said as we sat on the couch.

"We could do a lot in an hour and a half," I whispered as I climbed on Puck's lap and began kissing him.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

45 minutes later, we heard a squeal come from the baby monitor on the coffee table.

I pulled away, "I can get her."

Puck ran a hand through his mohawk before saying, "Ok, I'll, um, well you'll see."

I went into Beth's room to see her crying and screaming in her crib.

"Bad dream?" I said softly as I lifted the little girl from the crib.

I carried her into the living room to see Puck sitting on the couch strumming a guitar.

"This was you're idea?" I asked, "Aren't we trying to get her to go to sleep, not wake her up even more?"

Puck just shook his head, "Watch."

I adjusted Beth so she could watch Puck, but felt something. Her diaper was full, being the reason why she was crying. She was just uncomfortable.

"Puck-" I started to say but he cut me off.

"Please Sarah, just watch, it works. I promise," he smiled before turning back to the guitar.

Puck started to play a familiar song and I smiled. The first few chords of Beth rang out through the living room.

He started to sing the lyrics and Beth calmed a little. It stopped her squirming but she continued to whimper. By the time the chorus came, she had stopped crying all together.

Puck sang the last line and looked up. I clapped my hands gently, as did Beth, but then she started to cry again.

"I don't get it, she always stops crying when I sing," Puck looked frustrated.

"It's her diaper," I explained, "It's full. I felt it when I turned her around, that's why I wanted you to wait till she was changed."

"Oh," he said as he moved the guitar off the couch, "Here Beth, I'll change you."

I handed over the baby and Puck carried her to a changing table in the corner. As Puck changed the wet diaper, I stayed by Beth's head and gently brushed her hair with my hand.

"There we go," Puck said as he lifted up Beth, "Back to bed missy."

I kissed her forehead as Puck passed and he smiled.

When he was gone, I sat on the couch. A noise from the baby monitor made me stop from turning on the tv.

"Alright, now I hope you sleep well Beth," I smiled at Puck's voice, "I'll see you this weekend. Maybe I'll bring Sarah again. Do you like her?"

Beth must have made a movement because Puck chuckled, "I like her too. She's really good with you and I want her in your life. Like Mommy, she wants to be in your life too, but wants to take you away from Shelby. Don't worry, I'll find a way so all of us can be with you. I love you."

I felt a tear run down my face. My boyfriend was sweet. He might tell people he's all that and a bag of chips, but really he's just a big softy. I had almost forgot how caring Puck could be when people were upset, reminding me of how he had been there when Dad died.

I heard Puck close the door and tried to wipe my eyes before he could see. I turned my head to buy me some time as I felt Puck's weight shift the couch.

"She went down easy-are you crying?" Puck asked. I shook my head, but he didn't believe me. Puck's hands tried to turn me around but I fought, he was stronger though.

"What's wrong Sarah? Look at me, tell me, come on," Puck's voice was soothing and it alone almost made me look up.

Puck used his finger to lift up my head. When he saw my red eyes he pulled me onto his lap and I buried my head in his chest.

"Shh, come on, what's wrong?" Puck asked again.

I looked up and sniffled, "I don't know. It's just, I was listening to you talk to Beth and I realized how sweet you are when you're not putting up the act in school. Then, somehow it reminded me of when Dad died and how nice you were. Next thing I knew, I was crying."

Puck stroked my hair as a fresh set of tears came from my eyes.

"I really want you to get your little girl back, I don't care that Shelby takes good care of her. Beth belongs to you and Quinn," I choked.

"I know, but this is the next best thing. I get to see her whenever I want and she actually knows who I am."

I nodded and Puck continued to stroke my hair and rub my back.

"I miss him," I whispered.

"Me too Sars," Puck whispered back, "I want to be like that to Beth and you can help me."

"Of course," I said.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

We stayed on the couch like that for the last half hour. The only noise was the sound of Beth's light breathing from the monitor.

The front door opened and Shelby walked in.

"How was it?" she asked.

I moved off of Puck's lap as he answered, "Great. She played, ate, got a bath, went to sleep, woke up from a full diaper, then went back to sleep."

"How was she at bath time?" Shelby questioned as she moved towards Puck and I.

Puck laughed lightly, "She preferred that Sarah bathe her, but we worked it out in the end."

"Yeah, Beth is always a little fussy at bath time," Shelby explained.

"It was fun," I spoke up. Puck put his arm around my shoulder and I smiled up at him, "We were pretty good at the whole babysitting thing."

Puck smiled back before turning towards Shelby, "We should get going, thanks again for letting me introduce Beth to Sarah."

"I want Beth to know her parents, you know that, so I would never deprive her of them."

"Alright, well, see you in school," Puck said.

"Good-bye," I said to Shelby.

Puck and I drove in silence towards my house. After five minutes Puck pulled up in the driveway.

"Thanks for coming tonight," he said to me as he fixed a stray curl.

"No problem, I really did enjoy it though," I smiled.

"Beth's pretty easy."

I just nodded before leaning in and kissing Puck.

"Love you," Puck whispered as I pulled away.

"Love you too," I whispered back.

I opened up the truck door and climbed out.

"Goodnight Sarah," Puck called through the window.

"Goodnight Puck," I called behind my shoulder as I walked to the door.

I heard the truck start and pull away as I closed the door. I smiled and leaned back against it. I couldn't wait till Puck and I started a family of our own.

Sneak Peak: I paused outside the door and silently gagged as I heard someone full blown vomiting inside it.

I held her hair back as she began to throw up in the toilet. She sat up and burst into tears as if she had just seen the devil.

Two complete opposite points of view again next chapter.
