One Big Happy Family

"Told you it wasn't a good idea." Puck muttered as he and Quinn laid curled up under the covers together.

Quinn held Puck's hands. "Because you're in love with me?"

"No, because you're not into me." Puck stated.

"I am." Quinn replied.

Puck didn't say anything.

Quinn rolled over to face Puck. "I wanna do this everyday."

"Everyday?" Puck smirked.

"I'm not talking about having sex." Quinn said. "I'm talking about this: cuddling and going to bed together."

"You know what I want." Puck reminded Quinn as he squeezed her hands. "You have to decide if you want it, too."

"I do." Quinn told Puck. "I wanna be with you."

"I just told everyone on live TV that I'm single." Puck joked.

"Shut up." Quinn said, kissing Puck lightly. She pulled away and looked at him.

"You really wanna do this again?" Puck wondered.

"Well, we've never really dated before." Quinn reminded Puck.

"And you're not afraid?" Puck asked.

"I can handle you." Quinn smiled.

Puck smirked. "You think so?"

Quinn nodded. "We're really gonna do this."

"Exclusively." Puck nodded back.

Quinn smiled happily.

Puck kissed Quinn lightly and smiled back when he pulled away. "Get some sleep. Beth has school in the morning."

"Wait." Quinn said. "Are we gonna tell her about this?"

"I think we should, yeah." Puck noted.

"You don't think we should wait?" Quinn questioned Puck. "Just in case?"

"I'm not saying we have to tell her at breakfast, but we should tell her." Puck said. "I tell her everything."

"Everything?" Quinn raised her eyebrow.

"Not everything, but a lot of things." Puck responded. "And she tells me everything."

Quinn nodded slowly. "Let's tell her."

"You can sleep on it, if you want."

-

"Noah." Quinn whispered. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Puck muttered sleepily. "What's up?"

"I can't sleep." Quinn said.

"You wanna go wake Beth up and tell her, don't you?" Puck guessed.

"Kind of." Quinn answered.

"I'll go get her." Puck decided as he threw the covers back and climbed out of bed. "But we're letting her skip school again."

"Wait." Quinn requested as she grabbed Puck's arm.

"What?" Puck wondered.

Quinn pulled Puck closer and kissed his cheek. "Now you can go."

-

"Am I in trouble?" Beth wondered as she and Puck entered the room.

"No." Puck promised, gently tossing Beth onto his bed.

"Why is Mommy in here?" Beth asked.

"Because we wanna talk to you." Puck answered as he joined the girls on the bed.

Beth looked at her parents.

"Quinn." Puck said, looking at her. "You wanna do this?"

Quinn nodded and pulled Beth onto her lap.

"What, Mama?" Beth questioned Quinn as she looked up at her.

"The reason I'm sleeping in here tonight is..." Quinn glanced at Puck before looking at Beth again. "Your dad and I wanted you to be the first one to know that-"

"I'm gonna be a big sister?" Beth interrupted.

"No." Quinn said. "Not right now."

Beth frowned.

"We wanted you to be the first one to know that starting now, we're gonna be boyfriend and girlfriend." Quinn finished.

"Really?" Beth grinned as she looked at Puck, who was smiling happily.

Quinn nodded. "What do you think about that?"

"I think that's the best news ever."
