One Big Happy Family

19

Puck rolled out of bed in the early afternoon, smiling at the previous night's events. He had always been good with women, but his career had helped him even more.

"Morning." Puck muttered as he entered the kitchen.

"Afternoon." Ruth corrected Puck. "You got in late, huh?"

"Yeah." Puck nodded as he started making breakfast. "I'm gonna eat and shower and then I'll go get Beth."

"You never told me what you're doing here." Ruth said. "Other than screwing around."

"I'm just having fun where and when I can." Puck told Ruth.

Ruth raised her eyebrow. "Did you see Quinn?"

"A little." Puck told Ruth. "And before you get ahead of yourself, she's seeing someone."

"Have you met him?" Ruth wondered.

"Yeah." Puck said as he started eating.

"And?" Ruth asked.

Puck shrugged. "It's Quinn's life."

"Well-"

"I'm gonna go shower and pick up Beth." Puck interrupted as he cleaned up and excused himself.

When Puck was ready, he headed to the Fabray house. He knocked on the door and waited on the steps.

The door opened and Judy let Puck in. "Hi, Noah. Come in."

"Thanks." Puck said, entering the house.

"Beth just finished breakfast." Judy told Puck. "Are you hungry?"

"I ate already, but thank you." Puck replied. "Where is she?"

"She went upstairs to clean her room." Judy answered.

"I'll wait for her." Puck decided.

"You can go up." Judy offered. "Does Quinny know you're here?"

"She does." Puck answered. "My sister and I spoke to her yesterday."

"Beth said she saw her in New York." Judy added.

"Yeah, she did." Puck said. "They had a good time."

"Good." Judy nodded.

"I'm gonna go say hi to Beth." Puck decided, excusing himself as he headed upstairs. He went to Beth's room and lightly knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Beth called.

Puck opened the door and smiled. "Hey, Monkeyface."

"Hi, Daddy." Beth smiled back.

"Did you have fun with Grandma?" Puck asked.

Beth nodded. "Gramma let me stay up late."

"Very cool." Puck nodded back. "Are you ready to go, or do you wanna stick around some more?"

"Can I go see Aunt Sarah?" Beth requested.

"And Bubbe." Puck said.

"And Bubbe." Beth repeated.

"Let's say bye to Grandma first and then we'll go."

"Okay."
