Charlie's Return
Later on that day Quinn was feeding Haley when the her phone started ringing downstairs in the living room, Quinn sighed as she walked downstairs to answer the phone. When she picked it up she was surprised to hear her fathers wife on the other end
"Good evening Theresa how may I help?" Quinn asked the woman on the other end
"You can help by leaving my husband alone." Theresa said shocking Quinn
"Excuse me? You want me to leave MY father alone?" Quinn asked placing Haley in her playpen
"Yes. He's barely been home since you brought that demon into the world and when he is home all I hear is Haley this and Haley that. Haley does this and Haley did that it's annoying." Theresa said which made Quinn's blood boil at what she just said about her daughter
"First of all my DAUGHTER is a living AND breathing human being NOT a Satanist or demon or whatever the hell you just called her. Second my FATHER and MOTHER created me, MY father isn't just some sperm donor that mother found at a sperm bank. Third my father gave ME life, he gave ME a chance to live my life like he wanted me too. Are you still there?" Quinn asked to make sure she was getting her point through
"Yes." Theresa said
"Good. And finally IF my MOTHER was still alive I can gurantee you would NOT be Mrs. Dwyer so please do not call my phone with non-sense EVER again or I will tell my father and he will leave your sorry, lonely, jealous, bitch ass for another woman far better than you." Quinn said hanging up the phone sighing at the fact that she may tell her father everything she just said and turn him against her
"Hey there bad-ass." she heard Huck say from behind her
"I'm not bad-ass. I was letting that bitch know where her rights to control my father effectively ended." She said turning around to face him
"Well that seemed pretty bad-ass to me." He said walking over to her
"Maybe." She said sighing again as Haley started crying from her playpen, "I have a serious headache." She said walking over to the playpen to pick Haley up just as the phone started ringing again, "Will you answer that please."
"Hello?" Huck said into phone recognizing Abby's voice
"Hey can you ask Quinn if I should continue to eat three times a day or should I eat more?"
"Quinn used to eat four times a day. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert."
"Oh, okay. And one more thing, is the baby's head suppose to be facing upwards in my belly or upside down?"
"Either way is fine. Upside down, right side up it's all normal."
"Okay bye."
Huck was sitting on the bed typing up some files on his laptop while Quinn was doing her usual yoga routine and when he looked up she was bent over in what he knew was called the downward dog and it turned him on every time he saw her in the position.
"You're very flexible, you know that?" Huck asked watching as she slowly changed positions
"I do know that." Quinn said bringing her right leg up to her left one while slowly lowering her hands to the center of her chest
"I guess you already know how sexy you are as well." He walked over to her standing behind her
"Of coarse I do. You tell me all the time." She said inhaling deeply, yielding to his power when he yanked her head back by her hair, "Can I help you, sir?"
"Sir. I like that." He said leaning down to kiss her just as the phone started ringing
"I have to answer that. It could be Abby." She said pulling away from him to answer the phone
"Hey Abby." Quinn said into the phone smiling
"I'm not Abby. I am a angry husband who wants to know why you cursed out my wife." Ray said
"I didn't curse out your bitch of a wife. I put her in her place and let her know that her ownership of our last name did not mean she could control you." Quinn quickly defended herself
"I am her husband, Lindsay. She can control me all she wants." Ray said obviously angry
"Well then you're dumb as hell." Quinn said hanging up the phone before their argument got too heated
"Was that your father?" Huck asked
"Yeah. That stupid bitch must have told him what I said and left out what she said about Haley." Quinn said sighing
"I'll talk to your dad for you later and explain what happened." He told her kissing her cheek softly
Quinn was laying on the bed watching as Huck rocked Haley to sleep. She really did love Charlie but she loved Huck more than anything, he was her gaurdian, her protector, her best friend, the father of her child, her soulmate, and most importantly he was her gladiator. He took care of her and showed her what it felt like to be loved like a woman should, sure he was unfaithful to her but he apologized and they moved on from it
"What are you staring at?" Huck asked noticing the dreamy look in her eyes
"Nothing. Just watching how good you are Haley." Quinn responded
"You look sleepy." He observed
"I am. I'm waiting for someone to tuck me in." She said jokingly
"Let me put Haley in her nursery first." He said walking out of the room and when he came back Quinn was relaxing peacefully in the bed with her eyes closed, "Hey beautiful."
"Hi." She said opening her eyes to look up at him
"I got something for ya." He said revealing the box that was hidden behind his back
"What is this, Huck?" Quinn asked taking it from him before ripping the paper off
"Just open it, Hun." Huck told her watching as she pulled the top off
"Oh Huck. It's gorgeous. You have to stop spoiling me." She said pulling out the sapphire and diamond promise ring
"I love spoiling you." He told her
"I love it, too." She said, "You bought this for our wedding day?"
"No. I bought as a promise of faithfulness to you." He said
"You always knew how to make me feel special." She said
"The two sapphires represent me and Haley and the diamond represents you as the center of our world."
Huck climbed into bed where Quinn was drifting off to sleep . He knew she had to be tired since she had a long day and to top it off she had a fight with her stepmother and her biological father. As Huck scooted closer to her sleeping form he heard her say something incoherently
"What did you say, babe?" Huck asked her
"I want a sapphire and diamond ring. Not a engagement ring but the ring that I put on after we say our vowels." Quinn said drowsily
"I think I can arrange that." He said pulling her warm body close
"I want to have 5 bridesmaids and I want Karen as my junior bridesmaid and I want them to where uh... a cream colored dress and they get to pick out what gown they like. And I want to get married outside and then have those birds fly around once and then come back. No scratch that I want butterflies. I want a strapless gown. And I want you to wear... White. And I want Haley in white as well no, no I want her in pink and my daddy can hold her and I want to walk down the aisle to our favorite song." She said obviously fighting her tiredness
"What song would that be?" He asked smiling at her ideas
"Jonh Legend's song. You know the one called All of Me." She said closing her eyes
"That would be nice." Huck said wrapping his arm around her
"Olivia and Fitz can walk down first, then Abby and David, then Harrison and Adnan, then Maya and Eli, and then Mellie and Andrew. Oh and Karen and Jerry." Quinn said re-opening her eyes
"Well, I want six groomsmen and I want Jerry as my junior groomsman and I don't mind wearing white and... Babe? Did you just fall asleep while I was talking to you?" Huck asked moving her slightly to see if she was asleep, "I guess we'll talk in the morning."
The next morning Quinn woke up to the sound of the house phone ringing from it's place on the wooden desk across the room. Climbing out of bed Quinn walked over to it picking it up.
"Good morning." Quinn said out of habit
"Good morning to you too, Robin." Charlie said on the other end
"Why are you calling me?" Quinn asked in a hushed tone trying not to wake up Huck
"Just to let you know I keeping my promise about leaving you alone, but I have to see the baby first." Charlie said
"there's no way in hell I'm letting you anywhere near her." Quinn said walking out of the room to go downstairs
"I just want to see her, to see what she looks like, to touch her, to hold her." Charlie said pacing
"I can't let you see her without Huck's permission." Quinn said pouring herself some orange juice
"Why do you need permission? Is he going to beat your pretty little ass until your battered, bruised, bleeding and begging for mercy? Is he going to force himself on you? Or is he going to lock you outiside with no food or water?" Charlie said
"Huck is nothing like you.. He loves me for who I am he doesn;t care if I do something wrong he won't lay a finger on me. Well except fpr when we're making love then he lays all his fingers on me plus more." Quinn said taking a sip of her juice
"I highly doubt he's better than me in bed." Charlie said
"He is a million times better that you. He isn't just a man, he is The Man. He knows my body better than I ever did and he knows how I like it, he knows how I want it, he knows how to make me scream." Quinn taunted him
"You know what I heard enough. Meet me at the park later and let me see her or I will be in your life forever." Charlie said hanging up. Quinn sighed leaning against the counter wonering how she could leave the house without Huck knowing just then Huck came downstairs with a wideawake Haley in his arms
"Who were you talking to?" Huck asked walking over to her
"No one. I think I'm going to take her to the park today." Quinn said attempting to take Haley away from Huck only to have him pull away
"Why? So you can meet up with Charlie?" He asked arching a eyebrow at her
"How did you know about that?" She asked him
"I overheard your conversation and I am going to tell you this now. The only way you're going to get out of this house with my daughter to meet up with that lunatic is over my dead body." He said before turning and walking up the stairs really upset
"Huck you don't understand. he said he won't leave us alone unless I take Haley to see him." She said following him into her nursery
"But you were going to take her without me knowing. It's my name on her birth certificate, it's my last name that she has, my household she's living in, and for crying out loud I legally adopted her from the moment I found out you were pregnant and here you were going to take her without my permission." Huck said changing Haley's diaper
"I know I just wanted him to get out of our lives." Quinn said trying to reasin with him
"You want to meet with him? I'll go with you." He told her handing her Haley so he could go get dressed leaving Quinn standing there feeling a little guilty
2 hours later Quinn and Huck were sitting at the park on the bench with Haley waiting for Charlie to show up. 15 minutes later Charlie came walking up the path and smiled when he saw Huck holding Haley tightly as he could withoput suffocating her
"Hi there baby girl." Charlie said walking up closer
"Now you see her will you leave us alone?" Quinn asked standing
"Can I hold her? I won't try anything funny I promise." Charlie said holding his arms out for her which Huck reluctantly handing Haley to him where Charlie looked surprisingly nice at that moment while Haley was in his arms
"Hi Haley. You are so beautiful." Charlie said rocking her as she started to cry, "Don't cry, I would never hurt you."
"We have to get home soon. I have a friend coming over." Quinn said taking Haley from him
"I'm moving out of the country to Puerto Rico. I just want one last kiss." Charlie said leaning closer to kiss Quinn only to have her head so he would kiss her cheek instead
"Goodbye, Charlie." Quinn said turning and walking away with Huck right behind her. Charlie sighed as he walked away to catch a cab to Reagan National so he could leave
Huck walked into the office house holding the door open for Quinn who was carrying Haley who was nibbling on Quinn's finger
"Hi. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall good to see you again." the recpetionist said smiling
"You too." Quinn said smiling back as they walked down the hall to Dr. Holmes office
"Good afternoon you two and now I see why you two haven't been back here you had the baby." Dr. Holmes said removing her glasses
"Yeah. 3 months premature." Quinn said sitting down on the couch
"Has anything happened recently?" Dr. Holmes asked Quinn and Huck
"We got engaged." Quinn told her showing her the ring
"Wow its gorgeous." Dr. Holmes complemented, "Anything else?"
"We moved in together." Huck told her
"Good. And everyone's been faithful to eachother correct?" Dr. Holmes asked looking at both of them noticing how they looked at each other with hurt looks in both of their eyes.
Author's Note- Charlie is gone once again but for how long? Been awhile since we had a cliffhanger, eh? Anyways here's my update my Gladiators! Was Quinn wrong when she was going to take Haley without Huck knowing? Or did Huck overreact?
