Easter (Quicketh/H)

"Shhhh." Quinn hushed Beth as she squirmed in her arms. "Come on, B."

"I can't believe how big she is." Kurt noted.

"Yeah, she'll be one in, like, a month and a half." Quinn replied.

"She's been fighting her nap today." Judy added, watching the whining and squirming baby. "So she's cranky."

"She's fine." Quinn insisted. "I'm gonna give her to Noah so I can help in here."

"Honey, we got it." Carole promised. "You can go relax with Beth and the boys."

"It's her first one, so I wanna help out." Quinn said. "Noah can take her. I'll be right back."

-

"Noah."

Puck turned to the kitchen doorway and looked at Quinn and Beth. "Yeah?"

"Can you take her?" Quinn requested. "I wanna help out in the kitchen and she's a little cranky."

"I got her." Puck nodded, putting his root beer down as he got up. He walked over to Quinn and took the baby from her. "Come on, B. Daddy's got ya."

"Thank you." Quinn smiled as she kissed Puck's cheek before leaving the room.

Puck took his seat on the couch again, gently bouncing Beth on his knee as he picked up his root beer and sipped it.

Beth reached for the bottle and Puck moved it away from her.

"Want me to take her?" Finn offered.

"She's good." Puck promised. "Tell FinnFinn, B."

Beth looked at Finn, staring at him for a few seconds before smiling and giggling at him.

"She likes Finn." Burt noted.

"She loves Finn." Puck added. "It's probably been a while since he's gotten this much attention from a girl."

Burt laughed lightly and clinked his bottle against Puck's.

"Not true." Finn insisted before sipping his drink.

Beth tried to take Puck's bottle again, but he pulled it away, causing her to whine and cry.

Finn took the bottle from Puck while Puck tended to Beth.

"Here, B." Puck said, setting the squirming baby down on the blanket on the floor in front of the couch. "You're free."

"Is she allowed to be there by herself?" Finn wondered.

"Yeah, she's fine." Puck answered. "I'm right here."

"What if she walks away?" Finn asked.

"I think I'm faster than her, Finn." Puck pointed out.

"Right."

-

"Uh.. Quinn." Kurt muttered.

Quinn followed Kurt's gaze and looked at Beth, who had crawled into the kitchen. She scooped the blonde up and put her on her hip before walking into the living room.

"Noah."

"Shit." Puck muttered, setting his drink down and getting up. "Sorry."

"Can you please watch her?" Quinn requested.

"Yeah, let me take her." Puck nodded as he took Beth. "Need any help in the kitchen?"

"I got it, just keep an eye on her." Quinn commanded.

"Yeah." Puck said. "Yeah, sorry."

Quinn nodded before leaving the room.

Puck sat down with Beth on his knee, lightly bouncing her.

"Dada Dada Dada." Beth chanted.

"You're gonna get Dada in trouble, Monkeyface." Puck smirked.

Beth looked at Puck and grinned.

"That was a Puckerman face." Burt commented with a laugh.

"Yeah." Puck nodded. "She's a daddy's girl."

-

"If you guys don't mind, I'd like to excuse myself to give Beth a bath and see if I can get her to nap." Quinn stated when she and Beth had finished eating.

"Go ahead, honey." Carole smiled. "You can use Kurt's bathroom."

"Yeah, go ahead." Kurt nodded.

"Thank you." Quinn said as she got up and scooped Beth up.

"I'll give you a hand." Puck decided, excusing himself and getting up, too.

The trio disappeared to Kurt's bathroom. Quinn had grabbed Beth's bag on her way, so she shoved Beth into Puck's arms and began digging through it.

"Are you pissed or something?" Puck asked.

"Why would I be pissed?" Quinn wondered.

"I don't know." Puck shrugged, putting Beth on his hip. "But come on, it's her first Easter and we barely got any pictures."

"Because she's been screaming all day." Quinn noted.

"Let me take some pictures of the two of you." Puck requested.

Quinn looked at Puck.

"Please." Puck added. "You both look beautiful. I'll find her pajamas after."

"Okay." Quinn nodded, taking Beth again and exiting the bathroom. "But don't take them in here."

-

"There she is." Judy smiled. "Nice and clean."

"Yeah." Quinn said, looking at Puck with the baby on his hip.

"We're gonna try to put her down." Puck noted. "Is it cool if she sleeps in your room, dude?"

"Yeah, of course." Finn responded as he waved to Beth. "Night, night, tiny."

"Sweet dreams, Beth." Carole said.

"Good luck getting her down." Kurt teased with a smile as Quinn and Puck left the room.

Puck got Beth all set up in Finn's room, making sure she wouldn't roll out of bed or anything.

"I think she's down." Puck whispered, pocketing the baby monitor. He looked at Quinn. "Q?"

Quinn looked at Puck.

"I said she's down." Puck noted. "Are you okay?"

"I'm just tired." Quinn insisted.

"Are you pissed at me?" Puck guessed.

Quinn furrowed her eyebrows.

"For not watching her." Puck clarified.

"No." Quinn responded. "I just wish she wasn't so cranky today."

"She's a baby." Puck reminded her. "But she was fine, and everyone loved having her here."

"You think so?" Quinn asked.

"Totally." Puck nodded. "They loved seeing her little outfit and seeing her, tantrums and all."

Quinn nodded back.

"And I think some of them get entertained by watching you and me do this." Puck added with a small smile.

Quinn laughed lightly. "Definitely."

"I'm sorry I didn't pay enough attention today." Puck apologized. "But-"

"You spent all day yesterday cooking, cleaning, and coloring eggs for her." Quinn interrupted.

"Yeah, but that was yesterday." Puck noted. "Today's a new day."

"You're a good dad." Quinn told Puck. "You've been so good from the beginning, and I don't thank you or tell you that enough."

"Thanks, Q." Puck smiled.

"You always put so much effort into traditions and holiday celebrations, so thank you for making her first Easter so special." Quinn added.

Puck smiled as Quinn kissed his cheek.
