One Big Happy Family

"Morning, sleepyhead." Puck said when Quinn entered the backyard.

"Morning." Quinn repeated. "Where's Beth?"

"The pool was filthy so I sent her to get changed while I finish cleaning it." Puck answered. "What are you up to?"

"I feel like I'm hungover from the jet lag." Quinn noted.

Puck nodded. "So take it easy today."

"I have a lot to do." Quinn reminded Puck.

"You're not gonna get anything done when you're exhausted." Puck pointed out. "So take advantage of your bikinis today and start figuring things out tomorrow."

Quinn raised her eyebrow.

"You checked me out, now I get to check you out." Puck stated.

"I did not check you out." Quinn lied.

"It's okay." Puck insisted. "I'm kind of a dilf."

Quinn rolled her eyes and smiled as Beth entered the backyard. "Morning, Beth."

"Morning." Beth repeated. "Can I go in the pool now, Daddy?"

"Five more minutes." Puck said.

Beth folded her arms.

"There's no rush, B." Puck told her. "You have all day to swim."

"I wanna swim now." Beth said. "It's too hot out."

"Go get a towel and when you come back, you can swim." Puck replied.

Beth nodded and ran off with her arms still folded.

"And come back happy!" Puck called after her. He shook his head as he started taking the net and vacuum out of the pool. "Go get changed, Q. The hot tub is clean."

Quinn looked at Puck.

"Beth's not allowed in it." Puck added. "So if you wanna get a book or you want me to make you a drink or something, go ahead."

"I think I'm gonna go inside and eat breakfast first." Quinn decided.

"Okay." Puck said as Beth returned.

"Now can I go in?" Beth asked.

"You're killing me, kid." Puck said as he picked Beth up and gently tossed her into the deep end of the pool.

"Noah." Quinn scolded. "She doesn't have swimmies on."

"I taught her to swim when she was three." Puck stated. "She's fine."

Quinn watched as Beth resurfaced with a grin on her face. She climbed out of the pool and ran over to Puck, wrapping her arms around him and trying to pull him towards the edge.

Puck grinned as he scooped Beth up, holding her tight while she squirmed in his arms. He tossed her in the pool again before getting in himself.

"How is it?" Quinn asked.

"The pool's heated." Puck reminded Quinn as he pulled Beth up to the surface. "She'll get cold eventually though."

Quinn smiled. "I'm gonna go eat and then I'll be in the hot tub."

"We'll be here."
