Insecurity
1 hour later Huck, Quinn, and Haley were sitting downstairs on the couch watching TV when Quinn got up and walked over to the refrigerator
"Huck we need to go grocery shopping. Again." Quinn said as she stood by the fridge
"Again? We just went a month and a half ago." Huck said getting up walking over to her
"I was pregnant so I ate everything." She told him as Haley gave her hair a hard tug, "Ow Haley!" She said pulling her hair from Haley's hand
"You ate everything alright. Including the relish and the strawberries." He said closing the refrigerator
"Hey don't blame me, blame my cravings. My body was telling that strawberries and relish tasted good together." She said bouncing Haley in her arms
"And did it?" He asked
"Yeah." Quinn said walking past him up the stairs
"Where are you going?" Huck asked following her
"To get dressed." She said laying Haley on the bed then putting pillows around her so she wouldn't roll and fall then she walked over to the closet pulling out her jeans and T-shirt before walking into the bathroom to put her clothes on
"Your mommy is a piece of work. We had to go shopping twice a week when she had you in her belly." He said picking Haley up, "But I was okay with it because it meant taking care of you and making sure you grew nice and healthy." He said walking into her nursery, "So what do want to put on little one." He said pulling out her little jeans and a shirt that said "Daddy's Little Girl"
"What are you doing?" Quinn asked as she walked in
"Changing her diaper. Dear Lord." Huck said, gagging as the smell of Haley's stinky diaper traveled up his nostrils
"Do you want me to get that?" She asked knowing how dads had a hard time changing diapers
"No, no. I got it although it does smell really, really bad. God Haley what did you eat?" He asked as he removed the diaper
"It's her new formula." She told frowning slightly as the smell drifted up her nostrils as well
"Why do you give it to her?" He asked
"To help prevent her from throwing up every time I feed her." Quinn said walking closer to him
"Next time I change her I'm putting on a gas mask." Huck said as he put Haley's diaper on her before putting her pants on her as well then her shirt
"Boy can I wait til we have our next child." She muttered under breath as she walked out the room
45 minutes later Huck, Quinn, and Haley pulled up outside the store and when Quinn got out of the car she got Haley's car seat from it's base and placed it on the shopping cart
"Did I do this right?" Quinn asked Huck
"Yeah I think so." Huck told her guiding her inside the store, "So what do we need?" He asked her
"Well, Haley needs more formula. I need some stuff to so... Maybe we should split up." She reccommended
"Yeah we should." He agreed leaning down pressing a light kiss against her lips before walking away in another direction
Quinn turned and walked towards the baby aisle to get Haley some formula and when she got there a woman walked up beside her
"Hello miss may I how old your baby is?" the woman asked
"She's a month old." Quinn told the woman
"A month? It's a little early to be pregnant again isn't it?" the woman asked Quinn
"Pregnant? I haven't had sex with my fiance in a whole month!" Quinn exclaimed
"Oh well your stomach was swollen so I just assumed..."
"You should probably get your goddamn story right before you start making assumptions." Quinn told the woman grabbing Haley's formula from the shelf, "And just because your all skinny like a stick figure does mean you look better than me cause underneath all this left over baby weight is NOTHING but sex appeal." Quinn told woman before walking away she walked down the aisle where the tampons were and sighed, she knew she looked a little heavy but didn't expect anyone to say something to her about it. Quinn jumped slightly when she felt a hand on her shoulder and when turned around she saw Huck standing there
"So I got everything I think we need and... What's wrong?" Huck asked her noticing the look on her face
"Nothing." Quinn lied
"Yes it is. Your eyes are red along with your nose and cheeks which means your either angry or sad. Which one is it?" He asked her
"Both. I was getting Haley's formula and this woman walked up, asked how old she was and when I told her how old she was, she insulted my weight." She admitted looking down at the floor
"Do you want me to torture her?" He asked her seriously
"Huck! No, no torture and no physical harm what so ever." She told him
"Are you sure?" Huck asked her
"Positive. Let's go pay for this stuff." Quinn said, "Someone's getting cranky." She said referring to Haley who was starting to whine
30 minutes later Huck and Quinn were walking back into the house with Haley who was crying her pretty little eyes out from her dirty diaper and hunger
"I never heard her cry like this before." Huck said sitting the bags in the counter
"She's hungry, Huck." Quinn said walking up the staairs to change Haley's diaper
"Do you want me to change her?" He asked following her up the stairs
"If you want." She told him placing Haley in his arms
"You should go change out of your clothes and put on something comfortable." He said walking into the nursery with Haley
"Okay." She said walking towards the bedroom where she began to remove her clothes and when she was in nothing but her bra and panties she walked over to the mirror and stared at herself in it. As she stared at herself in the mirror she wondered what Huck saw in her, what part of her fat and stretch mark covered body did he see when he looked at her, she felt a tear roll down her cheek as she stared at herself, she felt fat, she felt ugly and unattractive and wondered if Huck lied when he said she was beautiful.
"Hey Haley fell asleep so I left her in... Are you okay?" Huck asked as he walked up behind her noticing the tears streaming down her face
"I don't know anymore." Quinn said continuing to stare at herself in the mirror
"What's wrong?" He asked wrapping his arms around her waist
"I feel like... Never mind." She said pulling away before walking over to the dresser pulling out her pajamas
"What is wrong with you, Quinn? Lately you won't even let me touch you like I used to." He said walking up behind her
"I don't feel good enough for you anymore. I feel like you're not attracted to me. I feel insecure in my own skin and I don't know what to do about it." She finally gave in and instead of giving her a response he kissed her pushing her back onto the bed pinning her to it
"You... are... so... beautiful." Huck said in between kisses, "So smart... so sexy... so perfect." He said continuing to kiss her soft lips before moving one of his hands down her already heated body to her barely there panties, slipping them to the side before inserting one of his thick fingers inside of her dripping wetness causing her back arch slightly
"Huck..." Quinn said breathlessly as he buried his face into her sensitive neck, her back arched further as he slid his second finger inside of her nearly sending her over the edge at that moment as his fingers moved in and out of her heated center. After a few more minutes of his ministrations he inserted his third finger and that was what sent her over the edge, her body went limp in his arms as her body continued to tremor from the intensity of her orgasm
A few hours later Quinn woke up alone in the bedroom she shared with Huck, as she sat up she notice a note resting on the pillow and frowned as she picked it up and read it. The note was from Huck letting her know he went into the office to pick up some files from Olivia and with that note was a single white rose. She smiled as she raised it to her nose, she jumped when she heard the door slam downstairs and her fear only got worse as the footsteps came up the stairs then went into Haley's nursery where she was sleeping so she reached over into the nightstand pulling out Huck's gun he kept hidden from her because she thought he was a robber one night and then climbed out of bed to catch the intruder, as she rounded the corner she could hear the person whispering to Haley
"FREEZE!" Quinn shouted at the person jumping into the room
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! It's just me!" Huck said raising his hands above his head
"Huck? I thought you were at work." She said lowering the gun
"I was but that was like two hours ago." He said walking over to her
"Well I didn't know that." She said frowning
"I thought I hid this from you." He said taking the gun out of her hand
"You did but I found it the other day since you took mines from me." Quinn said
"To prevent you from almost shooting me again and how are you suppose to be serious wearing my underwear and a Incredible Hulk T-shirt?" Huck asked
"I don't know." She said looking down at her pajamas
"Let's get back in bed little one." He said about to guide her out of the room when Haley started crying
"Well that mood is ruined." She said walking to her crib picking her up, "And I'm not little, I'm not a size zero, I have a figure, I have a butt so I am not little." She said walking past him out of the room to feed Haley
"I already know you have a nice butt." He said following her out of the nursery
Huck sat on the bed patting Haley's back trying to get her to burp and when she did it was loud, so loud that Quinn peaked her head out of the bathroom to see what the noise was
"Was that you?" Quinn asked
"No That was Haley." Huck said continuing to pat Haley's back to get her to burp for the second time
"Well that was a loud burp." She said walking over to them
"Yeah. What are you doing?" He asked as she walked to the drawers
"Taking a bath." She said pulling out her other pajamas
"Okay." He said holding Haley close as she began cry again. He watched as Quinn walked into the bathroom and sighed he missed taking long, hot baths with her like they used to when she was pregnant although he didn't regret Haley being born so soon because he got the chance to hold her in his arms. When Haley didn't stop crying he got up and walked into the bathroom where Quinn was relaxing
"Hey buddy." Huck said
"Hey. Is she okay?" Quinn asked noticing Haley in his arms
"She was crying." He told her
"Let me hold her." She said scooting up in the water
"I have to take her clothes off first." He said starting to remove Haley's clothes from her tiny body before handing her to Quinn who held her tightly as she tried to silence her daughter as she cried, "She'll stop eventually." He said kneeling down next to the tub
"Yeah. My sweet baby." She said kissing her forehead
