Never Forgotten Past
Last Time: Puck invited Sarah to prom. Shelby's dad had a heart attack so she gave Beth to Puck and Sarah for the night. Puck realized taking care of a baby is harder than it seems. And that's what you missed on Never Forgotten Past.

It's Our Life
Sarah's Point of View
Mom clicked the camera for probably the hundredth time and I heard Puck groan.
"Hold on, just one more of you two together!" Mom smiled.
"This sucks," Puck breathed through the side of his mouth.
I laughed and held tighter onto his side to keep me up.
"Ok, seeing as you two are giving up, we can have a break," Mom sighed.
"Thank God," Puck stepped away and ran a hand over his face, "I thought my mouth was going to fall off."
I laughed again, "You are unbelievable."
Puck shrugged, "Whatever, I just need to take a second."
"Fine for now," Mom's voice rang and we turned to look at her, "Sarah come here so I can get at least a few pictures of you, Finn, and Kurt. Then, I want some of all the boys, which is you Noah, and one of you with your sister."
I rolled my eyes, "Mom, how many more? We have dinner reservations in an hour."
"You'll have time, now come over here," Mom motioned for me to go closer to Finn.
After what felt like thousands of pictures with Finn and Kurt, I was aloud to sit back and watch Puck get his picture taken with Grace and the boys.
I smiled when Grace gave him a tight hug and whispered something in his ear. Puck then laughed and nodded before saying something back.
"Sarah, come here so I can do some finishing touches," Kurt called across the yard from the front door.
I slowly made my way over to him and I followed him into my room. I smiled at my reflection. I had the same diamond necklace and bracelet on that I had worn for homecoming. My hair was done in loose curls with a few pinned back to the side of my head with matching bobby pins to the jewelry. The light blue dress I had bought with Puck and Beth the other day fit perfectly. I honestly looked amazing.
"I can't believe you look like this," Kurt mused as he applied some light blush to my cheeks.
"Thanks Kurt," I muttered and rolled my eyes.
"Sorry, that wasn't supposed to sound like an insult," Kurt gave a small smile.
"Fine," I replied, "So you and Blaine aren't coming at all?"
Kurt shook his head, "Nope, I don't want a repeat of last year and Blaine hates the no hair gel rule."
I nodded, "I guess those are sort of reasonable. I'm still a little worried that Puck will want to bail halfway through and then I'll never get a real prom."
Kurt met my gaze in the mirror, "Trust me, Puck's not going to bail on you. I think that somewhere deep down, he wants this as much as you do because of how happy it'll make you."
I smiled and nodded, "I was kinda thinking that too."
There was a knock on my door and we looked over to see Finn standing in the doorway, "Sars, you ready to go?"
"Yup," I made my way over to him.
Finn smiled, "I'm going to have to keep an eye on you and Puck so that you guys won't run off and do something stupid."
I just nodded, it's not like what Finn thought could happen actually did happen.
I walked over to the car and went in the passenger seat next to Puck while Finn went in his own truck. Mom, Burt, Kurt, and Grace all waved as we pulled away from the house.
Puck's hand found mine and his fingers intertwined with mine, "Ready?"
I smiled, "Of course."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Puck spun me around in our little corner, "Having fun?"
I laughed and ran a hand down his silver tie, "Yes I am."
"Good," Puck smiled before slamming his mouth against mine.
I grinned against his mouth and gently pulled away, "Not here."
Puck's eyes dropped, "Please, it would be hot to do it right here."
"I am not becoming a porn show," I stated and stepped back.
"Fine, fine," Puck pulled me closer and glanced over my head, "I don't see Finn, so let's go to the bathroom and continue this fun."
I laughed as I was quickly dragged from the gym and pushed into the girls' bathroom.
Puck's hands ran down my sides, "You look so hot right now."
I blushed, "Puck."
He looked up from my throat, "I'm dead serious, you're really beautiful tonight."
I bit my lip before softly kissing Puck's mouth, "Thank you."
"No problem," Puck whispered.
I was pushed back against the wall and melted against Puck as his hands curled against the base of my hair.
"This doesn't look right."
Puck swore under his breath and pulled away. I blinked and saw Quinn sitting in front of us in her wheel chair dressed for prom queen.
"You guys should be more careful, somebody could catch you," Quinn said and rolled forward.
"What do you want Fabray?" Puck asked angrily.
"Nothing, I just came in here to go to the bathroom when I saw you two making out," Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Aren't you supposed to be with Finn?" I asked.
Quinn shrugged, "He doesn't have to do everything with me."
I nodded and Puck grabbed my hand, "Let's just go back to the gym."
"Ok," I said softly as Puck dragged me away.
We passed Finn in the hallway who gave us a weird look, but just continued walking towards the girls' bathroom.
"We really can't do anything, can we?" Puck muttered.
I shrugged, "Sorry."
"No," Puck stopped walking just outside the gym, "You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm being a jerk by forcing you to do something you don't want to do right now."
I put a hand on the side of his face, "How about we dance now and then have your type of fun after?"
Puck chuckled, "That sounds like a great idea."
I grabbed his hand and brought him into the dance area. Puck brought me to the corner where Sam and Mercedes were dancing.
"Hey you two," Mercedes smiled.
"Hey," I smiled back as Puck held me with my back against his chest.
"Where were you guys?" Sam asked with a knowing smirk.
"Doesn't matter," Puck replied. He must have mouthed something though because Mercedes rolled her eyes and Sam nodded with a grin.
I twisted in Puck's arms to look up at him, "What did you say?"
"Nothing," Puck smirked, "Just that I have a very beautiful girlfriend."
"Uh huh," I nodded and went on my tip toes to kiss him, "I bet that's what you said."
"Gross, kiss somewhere else," Santana's voice came.
We turned to see her and Brittany standing behind us.
"You're really pretty today, Sarah," Brittany smiled.
I blushed, that might be one of the first times Brittany has ever complimented me, "Thanks Brit."
"I think you're always pretty," Puck whispered in my ear.
I blushed again and reached behind me to squeeze his hand.
"What's everyone doing after prom?" Mercedes asked.
"Going to a Cheerios party then my house is empty for the night," Santana told us.
"We were just gonna go to a party," Sam said, "What about you?" he stared at me and Puck for an answer.
"We'll probably stop by Rachel's anti-prom party," Puck answered.
I stared up at him with wide eyes, but then I realized he was probably lying; something that was confirmed when Puck winked down at me.
"That pity party? You two need to go somewhere with alcohol," Santana scoffed.
"I can't drink," I said absentmindedly.
Puck's arms stiffened around my waist and I took a sharp breath in at the realization of what I said.
"What do you mean you can't drink? Do you not know how? It's easy, I'll show you," Brittany advised.
"No, Brittany, I think it was more along the lines of she's not aloud to drink," Mercedes stared at me.
"Let me guess, Mommy told you not to drink and you're going to obey that rule?" Santana laughed.
"That's not why she can't drink," Puck shot back.
"Then what is it?" Sam asked, "Don't say you're pregnant."
Everyone laughed and Puck and I let out a few soft chuckles in an attempt to dodge the bullet.
"I just don't want a repeat of New Year's Eve," I told them when they had finally calmed down.
"I guess that's reasonable," Mercedes stated, yet she was still giving me a look as if she didn't believe me.
I nodded and took a deep breath, "Ok, who wants to dance?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I leaned into Puck's shoulder as his hands tightened around my waist. This may be our only prom, but it was perfect. After dancing with the rest of the glee kids for a while and having a ton of fun, we went off into our own little corner again. Right now, some of the guys were on stage performing for everyone.
I felt Puck sigh and looked up at him, "What?"
Puck shrugged, "Nothing."
I stepped back, "What's wrong?"
"I said nothing," Puck took a step towards me, "Come back."
I took another step back, "Tell me what's wrong."
Puck looked at the ground, "I can't tell you."
I sighed myself, "Puck, you can tell me. What is it?"
"I just...don't want to be here," one of Puck's hands rubbed the back of his neck as he examined our shoes.
I felt tears spring to my eyes, "You-you don't what to be here with me?"
Puck looked up, "No, Sarah, that's not it, I just don't feel like being at a dance anymore where I'm constantly being reminded how much of a failure I am."
"How are you being reminded that you're a failure?" I questioned, saving the failure conversation for a different day.
Puck sent a pointed look behind me and I turned a shoulder to see Sue standing above her punch bowl.
I groaned and realized what I had to do. I looked back at Puck, "You really don't want to be here, do you?"
Puck stared at me before giving a small nod.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Rachel and Finn walk in before Blaine and Kurt. I smiled, "What would you say about starting our after party early?"
"What are you talking about?" Puck asked.
I reached forward and grabbed his hand, "Looks like the anti-prom party's over."
Puck glanced behind my shoulder at the group as they split up to start dancing and such, "Why should I care?"
I went on my tip toes, "Because now we can go to that hotel room and have a little fun," I whispered in his ear.
Puck's eyes widened, "Really?"
I nodded, "I've had my prom for the year. We all know Quinn and Finn are going to win prom king and queen. Nothing interesting's going to happen. Let's go."
Puck smiled and kissed me quickly, "Come on."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I walked out of the bathroom with only Puck's white dress shirt on, "I'm hungry, wanna order room service?"
Puck sat up on the bed, "Did you just throw up?"
I blushed, "A little, but I feel fine. I'm just really hungry."
Puck sighed and ran a hand through his mohawk, "Fine, what do you want?" he grabbed the menu and phone.
I smiled and sat next to him, "Do they have chocolate cake?"
Puck nodded, "Yeah."
"That please," I laid back against the pillows.
Puck stood as he started ordering some dessert. I picked up the remote and flipped through the channels. We had gotten here about an hour and a half ago; meaning prom was going to be over soon. When we got here, I asked if the room was still open and the lady at the front desk said yes, that someone had just checked out. I was hoping that that meant Rachel wasn't planning on coming back here.
Puck sat down, his pant leg brushing against me, "The guy said about 15 minutes."
"Ok," I leaned my head onto his shoulder, "Thank you."
"No problem," Puck muttered.
We both stared blankly at the screen until Puck shifted to kneel in front of me, "I have a question."
"Alright," I smiled, "Shoot."
"When are we going to tell everyone you're pregnant?"
I blinked, "I'm sorry, what?"
Puck grabbed my hand, "Sars, we can't just wait until you start to show or you go into labor. We have to tell them at sometime."
I scooted away from him, "Noah," I shook my head, "I can't think about this right now."
"Sarah," Puck said gently and moved next to me, "Nobody thinks you're able to get pregnant. They all think it's a crazy idea, but it's not. We have to tell them. At least your parents and brothers. My sister already knows and so do Rachel and Blaine."
"I can't," I whispered.
"When do you think you'd be able to?"
"Never."
"Sarah," Puck laughed, "I think it'll be pretty obvious when a baby pops out of you in seven months! Next month marks the start of the second trimester, you're going to start showing soon."
I looked into his hazel eyes and realized he was serious about wanting to tell everyone. I racked my brain to try and get him to stop talking about this. A thought occurred to me and I quickly reached over and started unzipping Puck's pants, "Come on, one more before room service gets here."
"No, no, no," Puck shook his head and grabbed my hands, "Stop."
"Please," I breathed in his ear.
Puck pushed me back against the pillows and held my hands above my head, "You will not distract me when we have to talk about something very important."
There was a knock on the door, "Room service."
Puck stood up and grabbed his jacket, quickly buttoning it, "Coming." He turned back towards me, "Stay, we're not done."
I nodded and watched as he went around the small corner to the door. He came back a minute later with two plates in his hand, "Two pieces of chocolate cake for two very hot people."
I stared at him as he sat down next to me and passed over one of the cakes, "I'm sorry."
Puck looked up from his piece, "Sorry for what?"
"For not wanting anyone to know," I muttered and started poking the cake with my fork.
"Don't worry about it," Puck said quietly and looked back down, "I just want to know why."
"I'm scared that our little fantasy life will come to an end," I admitted.
Puck put down his plate and I did the same, "What fantasy life?"
"The one where we're happy and no one can tell us that it's crazy that we want to keep the baby," I said softly.
Puck nodded and stared at the ground, "I don't like this, actually I hate it, but we have to tell them. It's the responsible thing to do."
I couldn't help but laugh, "You want to do the responsible thing?"
Puck looked up and smirked, "Shut up. If we tell them sooner rather than later, we'll have a better chance to keep the baby without a fight."
That made sense, so I silently nodded and picked my cake back up to have another bite. Puck picked his up as well and continued eating.
Suddenly, there was pounding on the door, "Open this door right now Noah David Puckerman and Sarah Rose Hudson or else I'm going to knock it down!"
My heart dropped at Finn's voice. I turned towards Puck and my expression probably mirrored his-pure shock and confusion.
"Finn, calm down," Rachel scolded on the other side of the door.
"They're probably just talking," Blaine assured.
"How did I not know his middle name was David?" Santana mused.
"What if they're taking a bath?" Sam asked.
At that, Puck and I shot up from the bed, dropping our plates in the process, and started desperately trying to get our clothes back on.
"My shirt!" Puck whisper yelled at me.
I slipped it off as I grabbed my dress, "You need to help me with this."
Puck ran over to me and helped me zip up the prom dress that had been thrown to the ground over an hour ago.
Finn, I'm guessing, pounded on the door again, "I'm serious! You have three seconds to open this door or it's going down!"
Puck's hands dropped from my back as he ran to the door with me on his heels and opened the door, "Hey man, what's up?"
Finn rolled his eyes and pushed past him, grabbing my arm in the process, "What is your problem? Why did you leave prom?"
I yanked my arm away from my brother, "Because Puck didn't want to be there and nothing exciting was going to happen."
"Well, you're wrong," Finn gestured behind him and I gasped.
Not only was Rachel wearing the Prom Queen crown, but Quinn was standing next to Joe.
I glanced at Puck to see him staring in amazement at Quinn, "What happened?" I asked.
"I can walk," Quinn smiled.
"I won Prom Queen," Rachel added with a small smile.
"Do you want to sit?" Puck asked Quinn while moving towards her.
"Sure, I'm a little tired," Quinn nodded and reached out to grab Puck's hand.
I watched as she was able to pretty much walk by herself to the chair that Puck was taking her to, "So you'll be able to dance at Nationals?" I asked.
Quinn looked up and her smile was wide, "Yes."
"Alright, alright, Quinn can walk, let's order some room service," Santana walked towards the phone and menu.
Our room became filled with the rest of the glee club. Everyone was talking and someone set up an iPod and speaker that spread music throughout the area.
I made my way to the bathroom to fix my hair and makeup. I was about to close the door when Rachel and Blaine stepped in.
"Um, hi, I was kinda hoping to fix myself alone," I told them.
They rolled their eyes and Blaine sat on the closed toilet while Rachel stood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed.
"I'm sorry, Sarah, we tried our hardest to keep Finn away," Rachel said.
"Yeah, when Mercedes suggested you guys were at the hotel, he went a little crazy," Blaine added.
"We knew nothing could happen from your's and Noah's actions, but Finn didn't," Rachel continued.
"Sorry if we interrupted something," Blaine finished.
I shook my head, "We were having a conversation that wasn't exactly the most fun to have."
Rachel and Blaine's eyes widened, signaling me to continue.
"Puck thinks we should tell everyone that I'm pregnant," I said softly.
Rachel and Blaine exchanged a glance, "We were going to suggest the same thing," Rachel said.
I groaned, "Why does everyone think that?"
"Because it needs to happen soon," Blaine said gently as he grabbed my hand.
I stared at the two of them, "I don't know how."
"Just...just come out and say it," Rachel suggested.
"Make sure it's at a good time though," Blaine added.
I turned and looked in the mirror to start fixing my hair.
"Here, I'll help," Rachel came behind me and started brushing out my curls.
Blaine stood up, "I'll go join the party. Think about what we said, Sarah."
I nodded at him in the mirror before continuing to redo my makeup.
"We'll stand by you with anything you choose," Rachel said softly while pinning back my hair.
"I know," I whispered.
"Noah too."
"I know."
A few minutes later, Rachel and I finished in the bathroom and left the room.
Puck automatically came to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, "Hey."
I instantly smiled, "Hey."
Puck's hands went into my hair, "I'm sorry we got interrupted."
"It's alright," I told him, "I don't mind."
Puck placed a soft kiss on my nose, "Ok, but you should know that whatever happens, this is our life and no one else can say what we do."
My smile widened, "Promise?"
"Yup," Puck lifted me into his arms.
Finn came up to us, "Put her down, we need to talk."
Puck slowly set me down, "Calm down."
"Calm down? You took my sister away from the dance without my permission, what am I supposed to do?" Finn shot back.
"You're not in charge of me," I told him.
"I don't want anything bad to happen to you," Finn said.
"I would never let anything bad happen to your sister," Puck muttered.
"I don't know if I believe you," Finn defended.
Rachel walked up and wrapped an arm around Finn's waist, "You guys, it's prom, let's have fun."
Sam came behind Puck and I and put his arms around our shoulders, "What's up with the fighting?"
Puck glanced at Sam, "Nothing, we're fine." He grabbed my hand and dragged me to the corner of the room where Quinn, Brittany, and Joe were talking.
I leaned into Puck's side, "Just forget about Finn."
Puck nodded, "Working on that right now."
I laughed before turning towards Joe, "So how was your first school dance?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
A/N: I don't know how I feel about this one, but I think it turned out ok. What did you think? Puck and Sarah will be telling everyone soon, don't worry. Does anyone have anything they want to see before the story ends? By the way, it'll end when the season ended, after graduation. There will be another story after this with everything that happens with Sarah being pregnant and Carole's pregnancy. PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I love and appreciate each and every one!
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Ace5492 - Thank you!
raem9898 - I sort of base Beth off of things that I think my own cousin would do, plus I think some of it is cute. Good for you for writing more! I'm glad I inspired you, it means a lot to me. Sorry the hair didn't work, I ended up just making one up myself. Did you get to see the dress though? I really like that song and found a place/time when Puck is going to sing it for Sarah. It'll be in the next few chapters. And I love reading your reviews, they make me so happy! :)
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Sneak Peak: Sarah exchanged a glance with me and I could see the fear and sadness in her eyes at what was happening right now. I had no idea what to do.
A little more bonding time next.
