"Quinn, you look so beautiful." Brittany smiled when Quinn returned in the fourth dress she had picked out.

"I told myself I wouldn't be one of those crazy brides who tries on ten dresses at every store before picking one, but..." Quinn shrugged. "I don't know. What do you think, Beth?"

"I don't like this one." Beth noted. "Can you find something else?"

"I guess I should look a little more." Quinn said.

"Can I look at flower girl dresses?" Beth requested.

"Yeah, you should try some on." Quinn smiled.

"Why don't you let Britt help you pick some dresses out while I help Mommy?" Santana suggested.

"Okay!"

"Hey, Finn." Quinn said, greeting Finn with a kiss when she and Beth returned home. "Hey, guys."

"Hi." Finn repeated. "I was just figuring out some wedding stuff with Kurt and Blaine. How was your day?"

"I got a flower girl dress!" Beth announced. "And Mommy got a very pretty dress, too."

"Well, I bet you both look beautiful. And I can't wait to see you all dressed up." Finn noted as he scooped Beth up. "Come here. Do you wanna help me and Mommy make some decisions for the wedding?"

"Okay." Beth nodded.

Quinn smiled as she sat down and looked at the boys. "So... where are we?"

"Flowers." Kurt said. "For your bouquet, Quinn, I was thinking anthurium, roses, sweet pea, wispy fern, and rice flowers. It's very classy and elegant."

"What do you think of a bouquet of roses, lily of the valley, and chrysanthemums?" Quinn questioned Kurt.

Kurt furrowed his eyebrow and glanced at Finn. "It's an... interesting choice."

"Those are our birth month flowers." Quinn added. "Beth's, mine, and Finn's."

Kurt nodded slowly. "And while they're beautiful on their own, I just don't think they're the right vibe we're going for."

"I'll do whatever you said before, but I want Beth's to be the three of our birth flowers." Quinn stated. "I think a small bouquet of them would look beautiful, and then I could get it preserved afterwards or something."

"Okay." Kurt said, scribbling notes down. "Finn's boutonnière will be a simple rose."

"I don't wanna be making decisions about the flowers or centerpieces or seating or whatever." Quinn decided. "I just want the day to be special and about me and Finn."

"So that means I can do whatever I want with this wedding?" Kurt asked.

"It means that since you know us so well, you can make the choices you think we'd make." Quinn clarified. "And not the choices you would make for us."

"Finn?" Kurt wondered.

"I'm with Quinn on this."

Quinn exhaled as she closed the bedroom door.

"You okay?" Finn asked.

"I hate all the wedding planning." Quinn told Finn. "I just wanna be married."

Finn gave Quinn a look.

"You know what I mean." Quinn insisted.

"Before we go to bed, I wanna talk to you about something." Finn said. "And I want you to take some time to think about it, okay?"

"Okay." Quinn repeated as she walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers. "What is it?"

"I wanna adopt Beth." Finn blurted. "I know I'm not her dad, but we're getting married, and my future kids are gonna be her siblings, and I wanna be her dad."

Quinn didn't say anything.

"You told me to promise I'd always be there for her, and I wanna make that promise legally." Finn continued. "I wanna talk to her about it, but only if it's something you'd be okay with. So think about it."

"I don't have to think about it." Quinn responded softly. "You're her dad, Finn. You've been her dad since she was born, and even after everything I did to you, you still chose to be there for her."

Finn nodded slowly.

"You can talk to her about it whenever you want."
