Infertility (Quick)

"Noah." Quinn whispered as she looked at Puck. "I'm scared."

"You're gonna be okay." Puck promised. "The doctor said that even though it's kinda invasive, it's a pretty routine surgery."

Quinn bit her lip.

"I'll be right outside the whole time." Puck added. "And I'll be there when you wake up, okay?"

"Okay." Quinn echoed.

"I love you." Puck told Quinn.

"I love you, too." Quinn said softly.

Puck squeezed Quinn's hand, and Quinn squeezed back before they took her into surgery.

Quinn opened her eyes, expecting to see Puck. Instead, she was surrounded by the doctor and the medical student.

"Where's Noah?"

"He's in the waiting room." The doctor answered.

"He said he'd be here when I woke up." Quinn said.

"Before we allow you any visitors, we need to talk about the surgery." The doctor began.

"Noah should be here for this." Quinn noted.

"I'll go get him." The student offered.

"No." The doctor said. "No, you can tell Miss Fabray about the error you made in the operating room."

"Error?" Quinn repeated.

"Miss Fabray, I'm so sorry." The student began.

-

"Can I go get her boyfriend now?"

"No." Quinn shook her head. "No, I don't want Noah in here."

"He's asking for you. He's your emergency contact." The student reminded Quinn.

"I don't care." Quinn cried. "Tell him to go home."

"Miss Fabray-"

"Please." Quinn cut the doctors off.

"Miss Fabray." The doctor repeated. "We need you to calm down."

"Calm down?" Quinn repeated. "You just told me I can't have kids and you want me to calm down?"

"Go get her boyfriend."

"Don't."

-

Puck picked his head up and looked at the doctor as they entered the waiting room. He quickly got up and walked over. "How's Quinn? Can I see her?"

"There were some complications." The doctor began.

"What?" Puck questioned the doctor. "Is she okay?"

"She's gonna be fine." The doctor promised. "But she's hysterical."

"She'll calm down when I'm with her." Puck swore. "Can I see her?"

"She doesn't want to see you." The doctor answered. "Why don't we sit down?"

"No." Puck shook his head. "No, screw that. I wanna see Quinn."

"Before you see her, I'm recommending that we get someone from psych to come speak to her." The doctor explained. "And you."

"Me? Why?" Puck asked.

"Quinn can no longer have children." The doctor told Puck.

Puck furrowed his eyebrow. "What?"

"There were some complications and she can no longer have children." The doctor explained.

"I wanna see her."

-

"Q." Puck said softly as he entered her room.

Quinn didn't say anything. She didn't even look at Puck.

"I'm sorry." Puck apologized as he took Quinn's hand. "The doctor told me what happened."

"I told them I didn't wanna see you." Quinn said softly.

"You don't mean that." Puck shook his head. "You just didn't wanna have to face me after the news."

Quinn looked at Puck. "How could I? We've always talked about having another baby. And now, I can't."

"We can still have a baby." Puck promised. "We can adopt one or use a surrogate or-"

"Stop." Quinn cut Puck off softly. "Just stop."

Puck looked at Quinn.

"You were right." Quinn said. "About Beth. There was a reason for her. That was our only shot, and we should've kept her."

"Quinn, we didn't know." Puck shook his head. "And it's not your fault. I never blamed you for-"

"But you will." Quinn insisted. "You'll say this doesn't matter, and you'll stay with me and everyone will think you're such a good guy for not abandoning me. But then as the years pass, you'll start to hate me."

"No I won't." Puck said. "I love you."

Quinn bit her lip.

"And I don't care what we have or don't have." Puck continued. "I don't need a baby. I just need you."

Quinn smiled slightly. "Really?"

"Really."
