Puck looked down at his phone, he knew it was Finn and he knew what he was going to say so he answered with "We'll take pictures and get you a hat or shirt."
Finn chuckled "Thanks but how'd you know man?"
"You're not here, plus Brittany said she left you at the hospital with Santana." Puck explained, they were waiting for Sam and his siblings at the Lima Bean, Brittany, Matt and Valerie the oldest of his little sisters were in line to get hot chocolates for the group.
"If they got onesies can you grab them for me."
"Well yea man, that was the plan." Puck laughed.
"Thanks."
"Welcome. Bye."
"Bye."
Puck hung up glancing at his sister and the other girls at the table right next to theirs, they were coloring and discussing which Disney prince or princess was their favorite, "Okay no more of that." Puck frowned gruffing at the tweens "You guys aren't old enough to think anyone is cute."
"We didn't say cute," his sister scoffed correcting "we said favorite."
"The Beast cause he's badass." Puck shrugged.
"Guys always say that." she rolled her eyes.
"Brittany loves Esmeralda." the little Asian informed them "I think it's cause she looks and sounds like Santana." Puck chuckled at Brittany's little sister, he wasn't going to argue.
"So if you like Beast does that mean Belle is your favorite princess?"
"Nah." Puck shook his head "Mulan, she kicked the shit out of the Hun and saved the Emperor."
"Noah you're not supposed to swear."
"Sorry Squirt." Puck apologized reaching over he ruffled her hair laughing when she swiped at his hand.
"We got hot chocolate for everyone." Brittany beamed carrying a tray with four cups.
"Just in time, Sam's here." Puck nodded and waved in the direction of the door, the three blondes smiled and waved back, Matt held up the tray in his hands giving Sam a nod. "We got hot chocolate." Valerie followed behind with the last tray.
"It's not that hot." Brittany shook her head.
"She's not wrong." Matt nodded "We told them they were for kids so they cooled them down a little before they gave them to us." Brittany smiled handing her and Puck's sisters their cups first before putting the tray down in front of Puck so he could retrieve his. After Brittany took hers Matt placed one of the trays on top of the empty one letting Sam get his siblings situated with the others, handing cups to Sam he continued to hand them over until all that were left were two. "We're just waiting for a couple more." Matt explained "And it gives them a chance to get to know each other."
"I thought your sister was coming?" Sam asked Brittany not seeing another blonde girl.
"She is, Fallon's my sister, she looks like dad." Brittany gestured to the Asian girl taking a drink, Fallon was used to it.
"Oh." Sam nodded asking "Finn with Santana?"
"Yea, we're going to be taking pictures, he likes the older trucks." Puck nodded grinning when he saw Mike waving from the door, "And here's the rest of our party."
"It's almost the entire Glee club." Sam chuckled, it was all of the guys except Finn which meant no Rachel, Mercedes wasn't into cars and neither was Shane which surprised her so she didn't have to go. Tina was working with her Mom in one of the food stalls so they knew they'd run into her, they were intentionally going to run into her, Brittany was going to get Santana some sweets.
"Hi Daddy." Quinn smiled seeing Puck.
"You sure you're cool with this?" Puck asked taking the stroller from Quinn.
"You like cars, this is all you Daddy, we're going to be at the food stalls if you need me." Quinn promised kissing his cheek "Bye."
"Bye." Puck grinned.
"I'm just catching up on school work." Santana gestured to the books in the chair next to the bed.
"That was my plan." Finn held up his back pack.
"They're going to sleep most of the day so we'll be able to get it all done." Santana said truthfully.
"It may take that long for me to understand even half of this." Finn shook his head.
"It's not the understanding, it's the remembering." Santana corrected with a frown, he was just as bad as Puck when it came to doubting his intelligence, something Quinn had apologized for. "The same tricks we used for Spanish can be altered a bit and we can use them for the other subjects." she did it with Brittany "And Abuela says if you want to learn to cook she'll teach you the same time she's teaching Puck."
"Are you sure she's not gonna kick me again?"
"I can promise no more kicking, but she wields a wooden spoon," Santana said honestly "so don't screw around."
"Will she hit me if I don't get it?" he asked worried.
"No only if you're screwing around."
"So Puck..."
"Knows better, he grew up in the neighborhood." Santana said opening her book.
"Are you sure?" Sam asked Puck and Matt, Brittany had all the children at one of the small pop up stores with the classic car merchandise.
"Yea, just let her buy them what she wants." Puck nodded.
"Okay." Sam nodded.
"It keeps her happy and occupied." Matt admitted.
"And we know where she is." Puck added, Matt nodded knowing Valerie would call them if Brittany tried to wander off.
"I just don't want them taking advantage of her." Sam shook his head.
"Naw, when it comes to kids Brittany's a softie but she knows when to say no." Puck explained.
"Okay." Sam nodded continuing to watch Brittany and the kids.
"I'm gonna get one of these for Beth." Puck pointed to the black Volkswagen Beetle, pushing the stroller closer to the car Puck informed the sleeping baby "I can get a junk body and start from scratch, it'd be a good project to keep daddy out of trouble and I'll be able to take my time and get it right for you."
"Titan colors?"
"Of course." Puck chuckled.
"She's a beauty," Sam agreed reading the year. "1938." turning from taking a picture of Brittany and the kids Matt took one of the Beetle too.
"Get one of me and Beth." Puck handed his phone to Sam, pulling the stroller in front of himself Puck picked up his wide awake baby girl holding her close to his chest. "You won't remember this baby girl but we're going to go to this every year until you do and when you tell me you don't like it, we're still going." Sam chuckled taking the picture. Hooking Beth in her stroller Puck pulled the shade and wind protector all the way down.
"Skulls?" Sam asked.
"Yea, Santana found it for me, she's got one for the girls too, supposed to keep the wind from hitting her but really I use it because people keep touching her." Puck shook his head "Not everyone but some people just have no concept of don't touch my baby."
"And trying to touch a pregnant girl's stomach. "Matt reminded, both Quinn and Santana had almost decked multiple women for touching them without asking.
Hearing a cheer from the kids they looked in their direction laughing, they'd found Tina, "Bet Britt said they could get whatever they want." Puck chuckled pushing the stroller towards the group.
"I don't get it." Brittany whispered to Tina who had joined them while she was on break "Puck says it's a van but that says bus." she pointed to the sign by the VW Bus.
"They called it both." it was the only thing Tina could think to say as the boys drooled over yet another classic vehicle.
"Titan colors." the boys pointed out.
"1963 that's really old." Brittany read before taking a bite out of the donut in her hand.
Taking a picture with his phone Puck sent it to Finn before calling to the girls "Britt, Tina. Give Santana a smile." wrapping herself around the smaller Asian girl Brittany grinned at Puck's phone, Tina laughed holding onto Brittany's arms that were around her chest. Taking the picture Puck sent it to Santana, Puck to Santana: She's doing fine
Smiling at the picture Santana texted Puck, Santana to Puck: Thanks
They'd been randomly getting pictures from Puck and the others since the start of the car show Puck making sure to send photos of Brittany having a good time to Santana. "What other homework do you need help with?" Santana asked tucking her phone away and book away.
"Math, but you don't need to help me with that, you should do your own stuff." Finn shook his head.
"I'm here all night so I'll do mine later, there's reading involved in most of it." Santana brushed it off before looking to the twins, they were due to wake up and be hungry but the nurses also came in and took them to run tests, it was Mrs. Rutherford that was the nurse for the afternoon.
"You okay?"
"Yea." Santana frowned at the IV attached to her "I just want this thing off."
"They would, if you would take your pain medication." Maribel spoke up from the door.
"It makes me tired." Santana muttered.
"I know." Maribel gave an understanding smile as she entered the room "How about a lunch break, I saw the cart in the hall." Santana wrinkled her nose, the food was bland, she understood with all the different diet requirements due to surgeries and health that they had to make certain sacrifices. "You'll be home soon mija." Maribel promised kissing the top of Santana's head. "Luis is waiting in the café for you, I'll keep Santana company." Maribel smiled at Finn.
"Yes Ma'am." tucking his books away Finn left the bag in the corner by the wardrobe before leaving the room.
"After lunch I want you to take a nap," Maribel shook her head when Santana opened her mouth "Finn can stay in here but I want you to nap, you're looking pale, I know you're in pain."
"She refuses to hit the button unless we're standing in the room telling her." Mrs. Rutherford said bringing in the food tray, "Push the button." she nodded to the button hanging off the bed.
Glaring Santana pushed the button for the pain meds muttering "Narc."
"I love you too." laughing she put the tray on Santana's table.
