Joint Custody (Quicketh)

"Hey, it's me." Quinn said when Puck finally answered the phone. "Where are you?"

"Out." Puck replied. "Kinda busy."

"Then I'll make this quick." Quinn decided. "I told you I was picking Beth up yesterday and you weren't there, so here I am today. Where are you?"

"I told you I'm out." Puck said.

Quinn clenched her jaw. "Where the hell is my daughter?"

"Would you relax?" Puck requested. "She's fine. She's with me."

"Do you think this is a game?" Quinn questioned Puck. "You can't just disappear with her, especially when it's not your turn to take her."

"She's fine." Puck repeated. "I can take care of her."

"That's not the point!" Quinn exclaimed. "Tell me where you are and I'll come get her."

"I'm out." Puck said again.

"Fine, then I'll sit on your mom's front steps until you get back." Quinn decided as she sat down.

"Then I'll see you whenever I decide to come back." Puck responded.

"I could take you to court and get full custody." Quinn warned Puck.

"Then why don't you?" Puck suggested as he hung up the phone.

Quinn sighed as she dialed Finn's number and got up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Finn. It's me." Quinn said. "Quinn."

"Yeah, hey." Finn replied. "I thought you were busy with Beth tonight."

"I need your help." Quinn stated.

"Is everything okay?"

"Do you know where Puck is?"

Quinn took a deep breath when Finn's car pulled up in front of Puck's house.

"Hey." Finn called as he got out. "What's going on?"

"It's my turn to have Beth, but he took her somewhere and he won't let me have her." Quinn responded.

"Should we go to the police?" Finn asked. "Is this, like, a kidnapping thing?"

"Puck has a record." Quinn reminded Finn. "I don't want him getting in trouble. I just wanna see her."

"Should we check with Santana?" Finn wondered.

"I didn't even think of that, yeah."

"I'll drive."

-

"Ugh, I thought you were the pizza delivery guy." Santana muttered in disgust. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for Puck." Finn answered as he took Quinn's hand.

"Beth." Quinn corrected Finn as they entered the Lopez house.

"Puck just got her to sleep." Santana noted.

"Quinn's taking her home." Finn added. "Tell Puck we're here."

"Tell him yourself." Santana said. "He's upstairs."

Quinn looked at Finn as Santana walked away.

"Come on." Finn said, taking Quinn's hand and leading her upstairs.

The pair went to Santana's bedroom and entered the room. Puck had Beth in his arms and was gently rocking her.

"Puck."

Puck turned and looked at Finn and Quinn. "Hey, guys. What's up?"

"What's up?" Quinn repeated, raising her eyebrow. "You can't do this."

"I don't know what you're taking about." Puck responded, hiding his smirk.

"Give me the baby." Quinn ordered.

"One sec." Puck replied.

"Right now." Quinn hissed as she went to take Beth from Puck, but Puck moved away.

"Hey, easy." Finn commanded. "Before either of you hurt your daughter."

Quinn and Puck looked at Finn.

"Give her to me, Puck." Finn said, putting his hands out. "Come on."

Puck gently placed the baby into her godfather's arms, and Finn passed her to Quinn.

"I'm gonna get full custody of her." Quinn swore. "You'll never see her again."

"You know what it's like to not have a dad." Puck pointed out. "You're really gonna do that to her?"

"Having no dad is better than having a bad dad." Quinn said with a nod. "Give me her things and I'll see you in court."

"Fuck you." Puck hissed.

"Puck." Finn scolded.

"Here." Puck said, handing Finn the diaper bag. "And fuck you, too."

Finn furrowed his eyebrow.

"You're not her father." Puck reminded Finn.

"Right now I'm the closest thing she has to one." Finn responded.

Puck swung back and punched Finn in the face.

"Noah!" Quinn exclaimed as the boys started beating each other. "Stop it! Both of you, stop!"

Santana returned and looked at the scene in front of her.

"Hey!" Santana yelled, and Beth started crying. "Cut it out."

The boys paused long enough for Santana to separate them and grab them by their ears, pinching them hard while Quinn comforted Beth.

"You two are best friends." Santana said "And what kind of example are you setting for Beth?"

Puck looked at the floor and Finn bit his lip.

"This is exactly why Quinn doesn't want you around." Santana added, looking at Puck. "She's your daughter's mother. Try treating her right 'cause I don't wanna hear it when you lose her for good, okay?"
