Never Forgotten Past

Last Time: Puck and Sarah got in a car crash after their celebration on their Nationals win. Kurt revealed to Burt and Carole that Sarah was pregnant. Burt promised that Puck and Sarah were not going to get kicked out. Puck's mom came and signed over custody of Grace to the Hudson-Hummels. And that's what you missed on Never Forgotten Past.

Goodbye

Sarah's Point of View

I smiled as Puck danced in front of me during his senior song. This was it, his last week at McKinley with me. I was constantly holding back tears trying to make this as fun as possible for him. Sure, he hadn't taken the geography final yet, but I had faith that he could do it.

All the seniors came up to us and started pulling us into the middle. Puck squeezed my hand and spun me around. I laughed and clapped with Blaine as they all sung and danced around us. I held back tears as they all sat down and sang the last note.

Puck winked at me and I ran into his arms, "I'm going to miss you so much," I whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," Puck whispered back.

"Aww, I'm gonna miss seeing them all lovey dovey," Kurt mused.

I turned around in Puck's lap and glared at my step brother, "Shut up right now. You don't want to get a pregnant girl any more emotional than she already is."

Everyone laughed.

"I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Puck knocked up another girl," Santana shook her head.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever Santana."

"Alright, I've had some people bugging me that we just take a day to sign yearbooks, so I'll give it to you," Mr. Schue smiled, "Who wants to sign mine?"

Everyone got up to grab their yearbooks and I reached down to grab mine from my bag.

As soon as I sat up, Puck ripped the book from my hands, "I'll take that."

"Puck!" I scolded and reached for it, "Give it back!"

"I want to sign it," Puck stuck his bottom lip out and squeezed my thigh, "Please."

I sighed, "Fine, but try and be fast. I want Quinn to sign it."

"Got it," Puck gently nudged me off his lap, "Wait," I turned back around, "You have a pen?"

I laughed and went through my purse to give him one.

"Sarah," I turned around to see Rory standing there, "Would you please sign my yearbook?"

I smiled, "Sure. You can sign mine after Puck."

We both glanced around to see Puck scribbling away in my book.

"Got it," Rory smiled and passed me his yearbook.

I opened it to a blank page and took a second to think before writing:

Rory, I've loved getting to know you this past year. Stinks that you won't be going to McKinley next fall. Thanks for being a great friend and for helping Puck with my Christmas present ;) Keep in touch! Love, Sarah Hudson

I handed it back to Rory, "Here you go."

"Thanks, I'll be sure to sign your's when he's done," Rory smiled.

There was a tap on my side and I glanced down at Artie, "Ms. Hudson, may you?" he pushed forward his book.

I laughed, "Of course."

Artie, You're such a great singer and amazing person. You're always fun to be around. Be prepared to take McKinley by storm together next year! See you over the summer! Love, Sarah Hudson

"Do you have one for me?" Artie asked once receiving his book back.

I pointed towards Puck, "My boyfriend has it."

Artie chuckled, "Well, make sure he passes it around, I wanna sign."

I nodded and watched him roll over to Rachel.

"Puckerman, are you almost done?" I asked as I walked closer.

Puck looked up, "Yeah, one sec, I have to put my name."

I waited for him to sign before taking the yearbook back. I bit my lip as I opened it and found Puck's note.

Baby Mama, This year's been amazing with you. Never thought I'd see you again, but then you came and changed everything. Thanks. You've made me a better person and in the end, helped my little sister and daughter. Don't worry, our kid's going to be badass and I'll be there every step of the way. I love you so much and don't plan on leaving. Love, The Hottest, Most Badass, Awesome Boyfriend on the Planet, Noah Puckerman

I looked up and smiled, "Puck, that's...sweet and cute and-"

Puck groaned, "Please stop before everyone hears you."

I laughed and hugged him, "Thank you," I said in his ear.

"Are you gonna sign mine?" Puck whispered in my own.

I nodded as chills went up my spine, "Could you give my book to Rory then Artie?"

"Of course," Puck took my yearbook and slipped his into my hands, "Be back in a minute."

I sat on the chair Puck had just left and swirled my purple pen in my hand. Now I knew why it took Puck so long to write mine, this was hard. To buy time, I read what Quinn wrote.

Puck, Can you believe our past three years? I'll always remember you and everything you've done for me. While I have to admit that we were great together, you and Sarah are perfect. Good luck with everything. If you ever need someone to lean on or talk to, I'm right here. Keep in touch! I'm sure that baby of your's is going to be just as great as Beth. You'll always be in my heart. Love Always, Quinn Fabray

I groaned and hit the book to the top of my head. How was I supposed to top that?

Quinn herself sat next to me, "Who's is that?"

I groaned, "Puck's. I have no idea what to write."

"Just write something from your heart, that's what I did," Quinn smiled, "Did he write in your's?"

"Yes, and it was totally and completely him! I don't understand how Noah Puckerman can write a cute message and I can't!" I looked back down at the book and stared at the still blank page.

Quinn put a hand on my shoulder, "You can do it. Don't think. Just write," she tapped my pen before getting up and walking to Finn.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before putting my pen to the paper.

Noah, This has taken me a while to think about what to write. I don't know why, maybe because I love you so much and there aren't any words to describe what we have. I'm so glad I came back this year to see you. You've been the best friend and boyfriend a girl could ask for. Promise me you'll never call yourself a failure. Baby Puckerman needs a daddy that believes in himself. I will always and forever love you. I can't wait to start this amazing journey together. With More Love Than the World Can Handle, Sarah Hudson

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Puck's hands wove themselves through my hair as I flipped through the tv channels, "Are you going to pick something soon?"

I laughed and turned my head to face him full in the face, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Puck shrugged and put a soft kiss on my lips, "You're just taking a really long time."

I put my hands on his shoulders to turn him, so I was able to push him back against the couch, "You're being mean."

Puck chuckled, "I'm being mean?"

I nodded.

Puck's breath was hot as he leaned up and started kissing my neck, "I'm not mean."

"Alright, what's wrong with this picture?"

I quickly pulled back and pushed away. Puck sat up so fast, we hit foreheads. After rubbing our heads in pain, we looked up to see Mom standing at the edge of the living room with her hands on her hips.

"What are you guys doing?" Mom asked.

I glanced at the disregarded geography book and old tests on the coffee table, "Studying."

Mom let out a dry laugh, "Really? You two are studying? Noah, tell me one thing about Europe's geography."

Puck coughed and rubbed the back of his neck, "There are mountains."

Mom rolled her eyes and walked forward to the table. She picked up the top test and stared at the front page, "Right here, I see a picture that you drew, two correct answers, and one big F."

"Mom!" I yelled.

"Sarah, Noah needs to understand that if he doesn't try, he's never going to pass," Mom came over and sat next to me, "I'm going to help you study."

"Mom, please, we can do it ourselves," I begged, "Puck, tell her."

"I don't know, I could kinda use the help," Puck muttered.

I groaned and stood up, "I'm getting something to eat. You guys want anything?"

"Have a water and if you're hungry, grab some fruit or something healthy. You're eating for two now, so you have to eat well," Mom said while flipping through the textbook.

My jaw dropped and I went in the kitchen. I went through the fridge to find some fruitto eat even though I really wanted a chocolate bar.

"What's wrong with you?" Finn asked while walking in with a bag of chips in his hand that I wanted to rip away and eat myself.

"Mom says I have to eat healthy now that I'm eating for two, but what she doesn't realize is that I've been eating for two for the past two and a half months!" I slammed the fridge door shut.

"Calm down there sis," Finn sat in one of the chairs, "Just eat what you want."

I groaned, "I can't do that, Mom'll yell at me."

Finn shrugged, "How many times in your life have you done something despite knowing Mom would yell at you?"

I bit my lip. He was right. I just couldn't bring myself to do it though, so I reopened the fridge and pulled out an apple that I bit into while standing up.

"Kiss up," Finn muttered.

I glared at him before walking back into the living room. I sat on the other side of Mom as I watched her quiz Puck using one of his old tests. I winced with each wrong answer that came from his mouth.

After the tiny quiz was done, Mom sighed, "Did you even try?"

Puck looked appalled, "Yes, I tried. Why wouldn't I?"

Mom just shook her head and grabbed his geography book, "Here, go over the chapter highlights for this one," she pointed to a section on the page. She pushed off the couch, "I'll be back in a minute."

Puck groaned and brought his head down to hit against the book.

I smirked, "Still want her to help?"

"So harsh," Puck muttered while pulling me to his side.

I rested my head on his thigh as he flipped through the book.

"I'm so stupid," Puck whispered.

I brought my fist down on Puck's other leg, "No. Stop that right now."

He set the book down and pulled me up, "I'm not saying I'm a failure, I'm saying-"

I cut him off by forcing his mouth against mine, "You're not a failure. You're not stupid," I said against his lips.

"Yes, I-"

I kissed him again, this time harder. Puck didn't protest as my hands gently went to tug his shirt off, "You're not a failure," I repeated.

"I'm not a failure," Puck nodded against my throat.

"And you're not stupid," I dragged his head up to look me in the eyes.

"I'm not stupid," Puck whispered.

I kissed him softly, "Where does it rain in Spain?"

"In the plains," Puck automatically answered.

I smiled and kissed him again. I reached for the book and flipped to a random page, "Lowest elevation in Europe?"

Puck's eyes scrunched together, "Caspian Sea," he finally stated.

My eyes widened and I nodded, "Yes! Yes, yes!" I launched myself on him and starting kissing every part of his face I could.

Puck laughed and pushed me off, "Thanks for the reward, but I'm in a lot of pain right now."

I quickly sat up, realizing I had caused my own body a lot of pain as well, "Sorry."

"Keep it up," Mom's voice said. We turned to see Mom smiling at us, "I'll quiz you in an hour," she walked away.

I turned back to Puck and grinned, "Ready?"

Puck nodded, "Shoot."

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I paced the hallway outside of Puck's geography room as we all waited for him to get his test back. I was vaguely aware of Puck shouting threats at the door. At one point, Finn grabbed me because he said I was going to put a rut in the floor.

Finally, the door opened and Puck ripped his test from Ms. Doosenbury's hands. I didn't breathe as Puck turned from us to read the test. He quickly spun around and yelled that he passed.

Not hearing anything else he said, I ran at him and jumped in his arms, "I knew you could do it!"

Puck laughed and hugged me tight.

Suddenly Quinn was there and I heard a whispered, "I'm proud of you."

Finn clapped him on the back and said, "I never doubted you."

After more celebration in the hallway, Puck, Finn, Kurt, and I all got in Finn's truck to head home. Puck talked the entire time as he went through the test pointing out questions he guessed on and got right or ones that he absolutely didn't know the answer to.

I held his hand tightly the entire ride and listened to him ramble on, this was the happiest he's been since we won Nationals a week ago.

When Finn pulled up in the driveway, Puck jumped out and ran inside.

I laughed as Kurt pulled me into a hug, "You did good."

I shrugged, "Studying wasn't hard. Each time he got one right, we both got rewarded."

Kurt laughed, "I think he's gonna want another reward tonight."

"We'll see," I smiled.

When we walked through the doors, Puck had Grace in his arms and was telling Mom and Burt the whole story on the test.

"...And when I got to question 38, I realized it wasn't as hard as everyone was making it," Puck continued.

Finn patted him on the shoulder, "You sound like a nerd."

Puck glared, "Shut up," but it was soon replaced by an embarrassed smile, "At least I get to graduate now."

I hugged him from behind, "I'm so proud of you."

"Me too," Grace smiled and hugged her brother tighter.

"Noah, what do you want for dinner?" Mom asked.

"You deserve it," Burt added.

Puck glanced around at us, "I'm fine with just having cheeseburgers here."

Mom smiled and walked in the kitchen to start cooking. Burt followed her with a last congratulation to Puck. Grace, Finn, and Kurt too left to do whatever.

Puck grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him, "I know what I want for dessert."

I raised my eyebrows, "Really?"

Puck nodded and bent closer to whisper in my ear, "Chocolate cake."

I laughed and pushed him away, "Fine, you'll just get chocolate cake," I said before walking past him towards my room.

"Well, what if I want more than that?" Puck called and ran to catch up.

I shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe you should have gotten an A on that test."

Puck growled and picked me up, "Come on," he kicked the door open to my bedroom.

I laughed and hid my face in his neck.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Grace held my hand as we waited for graduation to start, "I'm so excited!" she told me.

I smiled, "So am I."

Mom put a hand on my shoulder, "Are you going to cry?"

I laughed, "No."

"Well, your mom's going to," Burt chuckled.

"My boys are all grown up and graduating! How can I not cry!" Mom defended.

The rest of us laughed.

"Look!" Grace pointed down a few rows.

I followed her finger. At first, I just saw Quinn's mom, but then I felt the blood drain from my face and held tighter to Grace's hand. Her mom was standing next to Quinn's.

"Don't point," Mom scolded and pushed Grace's hand down, "If we see her, just say hi and smile. You don't have to do anything you don't want to."

Grace nodded and crossed her arms, "She shouldn't be here."

Burt reached over and rubbed her shoulder, "It's ok."

We quieted down as Figgins started talking about graduating.

Grace leaned her head on my shoulder, "This is so boring," she whispered.

I snorted, despite trying not to laugh, and whispered back, "Wait a little bit, it'll be fun when they actually start graduating."

Mom sent us a look and put her finger over her mouth.

We nodded and zipped our lips.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

As everyone was dismissed, the graduates came running out. I jumped on my toes as I tried to find either my brothers or boyfriend.

Suddenly, I was lifted in the air, "I did it!"

I screamed and squirmed in Puck's arms until I was facing him, "I love you!" I kissed him as hard as I could.

"Me next!" Grace yelled.

Puck set me down and hugged Grace tightly, "I'm a graduate!"

I felt Finn's arms wrap around me, "Proud of me?"

I laughed and nodded while hugging back, "Of course. I never thought you could do it."

Finn laughed and pulled Kurt into our group hug.

"Oh," Kurt exclaimed before hugging us tightly.

I looked up in time to see Rachel running over and jumping on us, "We're done!"

Finn put a soft kiss on Rachel's lips before pulling away, "Ready to go to the choir room?"

Rachel nodded and pulled him away.

Kurt ran off to go find Blaine. Puck put an arm around my waist and one around Grace before leading us off to the choir room where Mr. Schue had put refreshments for the glee club.

Once walking in, Puck was attacked by Quinn who kept jumping up and down.

"Woah, hey there, just got in a car accident," Puck carefully pushed Quinn off.

"Sorry," she giggled before giving him one last hug, "I'm just so proud of you."

I felt my jaw set and I walked forward; pulling Puck's arm into mine, "Yeah, I'm so proud."

Puck looked down at me and raised his eyebrows.

I just shrugged and pulled him away to talk to Mom and Burt. They each congratulated him, but I didn't pay much attention. I kept watching Quinn stare at Puck out of the corner of her eye despite being hugged by everyone else.

"Sarah!" Rachel screamed before hugging me tightly.

I groaned, "Congrats Rachel."

"Oops," she backed away with a smile, "Sorry."

I shrugged and turned back to watch Quinn.

"Something wrong?" Rachel asked quietly.

I glanced at her, "No."

"Why are you staring at Quinn?"

"Because she keeps staring at Puck and wouldn't stop jumping on him when he walked in," I stated.

Rachel patted my shoulder, "She's not going to try and steal him from you."

"I don't care," I looked away from Quinn to Rachel, "I don't want her to even get close to it though."

I felt Puck's hands on my waist and looked behind me to see him, "Want something to drink?" he asked.

"Sure," I smiled and watched him go over to the table where the punch was. I glared at Quinn as she suddenly became thirsty and followed him.

I was about to walk over there when Rachel grabbed my arm, "Just leave him be. He can take care of himself."

I let Rachel lead me away towards Mike and Tina. I congratulated Mike before tuning out to watch Quinn and Puck some more. I felt a tug on my skirt and looked down only to see the last person I expected to.

"Hi!" Beth smiled up at me.

A smile formed on my face and I picked up the small blond, "Hi Bethie! What are you doing here?"

Shelby walked up, "We came to watch the ceremony."

Rachel turned at the sound of her mom's voice. Her jaw slacked slightly and she took a step forward, "Why did you come?"

I carried Beth over to Quinn and Puck, leaving Rachel and Shelby to talk, "Look who came to see their mommy and daddy graduate."

Puck turned away from the punch bowl so fast, I thought he was going to spill it over, "Beth."

"Daddy!" Beth screamed and tried to jump from my arms into Puck's.

Puck laughed and grabbed Beth, "Hi there monkey face. I missed you."

Quinn watched in silence as Puck started tickling Beth.

I put a hand on her shoulder, despite all my feelings towards her earlier, "You ok?"

Quinn shook her head and ran away.

Puck gave me a glance over Beth's head. I raised my eyebrows for permission to follow her and he nodded.

"Quinn?" I called down the hallway.

"Go away," a muffled voice came.

I turned the corner to see Quinn sitting against some lockers with her head in her knees. I sighed and rushed forward, "Quinn, what's wrong?"

"She's so beautiful," Quinn sobbed.

I felt my eyes scrunch together in confusion, "Yes, but why is that sad?" I sat next to her.

"I haven't seen her in such a long time," Quinn looked up, "She probably doesn't even know who I am."

"No," I said softly, "You're wrong."

"How do you-" Quinn stopped and scoffed, "I forgot, you're practically raising her with Puck."

"Shelby's raising her, I just see her every once in a while with Puck," I corrected.

"What does that matter? I don't see her at all," Quinn whispered.

"Because she loves you, Quinn. You should have seen her face the day after your accident and Puck and I took her out when she saw your picture. She was so excited," I smiled at the memory, "You'll never have to worry about her not loving you."

Quinn wiped her eyes, "Thank you."

I nodded and stood, "Want to see her? She's getting better at talking."

Quinn smiled and stood next to me, "Of course I want to see her."

We walked into the choir room to see Puck sitting in a chair on the risers with Beth on his knee. Everyone was crowded around them as Puck introduced Beth to each person.

He looked up at us, "And look Beth, there's Mama and Sarah."

Beth squealed, "Mama!"

Quinn let out a strangled laugh, "Hi Beth."

I squeezed her shoulder softly, "See?" I whispered.

Quinn nodded before running over and taking Beth from Puck's arms. She planted kisses all across the small girl's face littered with dozens, "I love you"s.

Puck stood and came to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and set his chin on my head to watch Quinn with their daughter, "What was wrong?"

I shrugged, "She didn't want Beth to forget her."

Puck placed a kiss in my hair, "That will never happen. I'll make sure of it."

"So will I," Shelby interrupted while walking towards us with Rachel in tow, "I don't ever want Beth to forget any of you."

I smiled, thinking that I was included in that.

"Rachel told me you were pregnant?" Shelby asked.

My smile dropped, "We're keeping the baby," I said quickly.

Shelby laughed softly, "I wouldn't ask to take your baby from you unless you wanted me to. I just wanted to say that I hope Beth will get to know her little brother or sister."

"I'd really like her to," Puck answered.

Shelby nodded, "You'll have to keep me updated. I wish you the best of luck."

Puck and I smiled at her before Rachel led her over to Mom, Burt, and Grace.

"Excuse me?"

Puck and I turned to see his mom standing a few feet from us, "Yeah?" Puck asked, his voice slightly gruff.

"I wanted to congratulate you, Noah, I'm so proud," Ms. Ruth said softly.

I felt a body next to mine and glanced sideways to see Finn standing there with a hard expression.

Puck let go of me and stepped around, "Thanks...Mom."

Ms. Ruth smiled, "Could I have a hug before I leave you?" Puck stepped forward into his mom's arms. She squeezed tightly, "I love you."

"I know," Puck muttered.

Grace came running up and grabbed onto Finn's hand as she watched her brother and mom.

Puck stepped back and gave a small smile at Grace before picking her up, "We'll see you later."

Ms. Ruth nodded, "Goodbye."

"Wait!" Grace wiggled down from Puck's arms and ran to her mom, "Can I have one last hug too?"

Ms. Ruth smiled, "Of course."

"She shouldn't be here," Finn muttered.

"I know, but I don't want to cause a scene," Puck muttered back.

I grabbed their hands while we watched Grace hug her mom, "It's alright. She just wanted to say 'Congratulations,' she'll be on her way after this."

"To rehab," Puck said under his breath.

Finn snorted.

Grace ran back to us after Ms. Ruth left the room, "I'm sorry Noah, I shouldn't have done that."

"No, it's alright," Puck put a hand on her head, "She is your mom."

Grace looked at me and Finn, "Will your mom be mad at me?"

"No," Finn answered and knelt down to Grace's level, "She'll be ok with it."

A look of relief crossed Grace's face and I smiled, "Thank God," she breathed out.

The three of us laughed, "Why would it matter Grace?" I asked.

Grace motioned for us all to lean in, "I'm gonna start calling Ms. Carole 'Mom' and Mr. Burt 'Dad' and I want them to think I'm a good daughter," she whispered.

Puck pulled Grace into a hug, "You don't have to worry about them thinking you're not a good daughter, you're the best."

I shook my head, "I'm the best."

Grace laughed, "No, me."

"What about Gabriella Abigail?" Finn asked.

"That's not her name, Finn," I stated.

"Yeah it is, we shook on it," Puck nodded.

Grace rolled her eyes, "You're wrong. Her name's going to be Samantha Paige, right Sarah?"

I laughed at how she combined our names, "Exactly."

"Are you all ready to go out to eat?" Burt asked from where he stood above us.

We nodded and stood next to him.

"Let's get a burger," Finn said.

"I want something fancy," Kurt disagreed.

"Burgers sound good," Puck instead agreed.

Kurt rolled his eyes, "You two are unbelievable."

"Why? Burgers are good," Grace nodded.

"I kinda want a burger," I added.

Kurt crossed his arms, "Fine."

Mom stared at each of us, "How about we get burgers tonight and do a fancy dinner tomorrow?"

"That sounds great because I was on the burger side," Burt smiled.
