"Where's Mommy?" Beth wondered as she got up from the couch.

"She went out." Puck answered. "Where are you going?"

"I wanted her to paint my nails." Beth noted with a frown.

"I can paint your nails, Beth." Natalie offered.

Beth shook her head. "I want Mommy to do it."

"Mommy can do it tomorrow." Puck said. "Or Nat can do it now. She's gonna sleep over."

"Why?" Beth wondered.

"I want you to spend more time with her." Puck responded.

"No." Beth shook her head.

"Please, Beth?" Natalie begged. "We can play games and do makeovers."

"I don't want you to do it." Beth hissed as she ran off.

"Let me go see what that's about." Puck decided as he got up. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Puck went upstairs to Beth's room and knocked on the door.

Beth opened the door and looked at Puck.

"Can I come in?" Puck requested. "I wanna talk to you."

Beth folded her arms and marched to her bed where she sat down.

Puck entered the room and closed the door before joining Beth on the bed. "What's going on, B? Do you not like Nat?"

"Uh uh." Beth said. "She thinks she owns you. Tana said so."

"You can't always listen to Santana." Puck warned Beth.

"Can we go see Mommy?" Beth asked.

"We can call her." Puck said, taking out his phone and dialing Quinn's number.

The call went to voicemail so Puck tried again, but got the same result.

"Can I leave a message?" Beth requested.

"Sure." Puck nodded, handing Beth the phone.

"Hi, Mommy. Please come home and paint my nails. I love you. Bye." Beth said before handing Puck the phone.

"Q, I'm sorry." Puck said softly. "Just come home so we can talk, okay?"

Puck hung up the phone and picked Beth up.

"I'm not sleepy yet, Daddy." Beth told Puck.

"I know, but you should try to get some rest." Puck responded as he tucked Beth into bed. He kissed her cheek and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Beth grinned. "Night, night."

"Night, princess." Puck said as he left Beth's room, closing the door behind him. He saw Quinn's light was on so he walked over. "Quinn, you're... Nat? What are you doing in here?"

"N-Nothing." Natalie jumped.

"It doesn't look like nothing." Puck noted, looking at the mess Natalie had made of Quinn's things. "What are you going through Quinn's things for?"

"I'm not." Natalie lied. "I lost an earring."

"You don't wear earrings." Puck said.

"I..."

"Why don't you wait for me in my room? I'll be in when I'm done cleaning this up."
