Roommates

35

Quinn and Finn spent the day playing with Beth. Finn made lunch while Quinn and Beth played Barbies, and after lunch, they built a fort and played princesses (with Finn playing Quinn's prince, as per Beth's instructions).

After dinner, the trio settled in on the couch. Beth curled up on Quinn's lap while they watched a movie.

"Quinn." Finn said softly. "She's asleep. Do you want me to put her to bed?"

"I'll put her to bed when the movie ends." Quinn promised. "It's almost over."

"Okay." Finn said, and the pair went silent until the movie ended.

"Finn." Quinn said softly.

"I'll take her." Finn nodded as he got up.

"No, I wanted to talk." Quinn clarified. "About us."

Finn sat back down and looked at Quinn.

"I've been thinking about everything all day." Quinn told Finn. "And watching you with Beth. I always notice how good you are to her."

"She's a good kid." Finn replied. "I know she's not my kid, but I love her like she is."

"I can tell." Quinn said. "Today was just a small part of our life together, but it was also a glimpse into our future."

"Yeah, totally." Finn agreed.

"What I'm trying to say is, today made me realize that we didn't make a mistake." Quinn continued. "I wanna be with you until the day I die. I wanna be your wife."

"Really?" Finn asked with a smile.

Quinn nodded. "Yes."

Finn grinned happily and kissed Quinn's cheek. "So do you wanna tell people?"

"I wanna have a church wedding." Quinn told Finn. "I know it's a little late, but maybe we could tell everyone we're engaged. We can take off our rings and plan a church wedding and a reception."

Finn got up and walked away, heading into his bedroom.

"Finn!" Quinn called after him, trying not to wake Beth up. She carefully got up, leaving Beth on the couch as she ran after Finn.

When Quinn entered the bedroom, Finn was standing by the door.

"If we're gonna do this, let's do it." Finn said as he got down on one knee. "I love you, Quinn. I've always loved you, despite everything that's happened between us. I wanna love you for the rest of my life, and I want the marriage and the kids and the future we've talked about. Will you marry me?"

Quinn smiled and nodded as Finn put the ring on her finger. She cupped his cheeks and kissed him. "I love you so much."

"Mama."

Quinn and Finn parted and looked at the sleepy blonde standing in the doorway.

"I thought you and Finn left me." Beth mumbled.

"We will never leave you." Quinn promised as she put her arm out. "Come here, B."

Beth walked over to Finn and Quinn, and they pulled her into their hug.

"Why are we hugging?" Beth wondered when they all parted.

"Finn and I are getting married." Quinn informed Beth, showing off the ring.

Beth looked up at Finn with a smile. "Really?"

"As long as that's okay with you." Finn added.

"That's very okay with me." Beth promised.

Finn and Quinn smiled and laughed as they pulled Beth into another hug.
