"Thank you guys for coming today." Quinn said to Finn and Rachel when they were seated in the living room. Beth was sitting on Quinn's lap. "You too, little bee."

"We wouldn't miss it for the world." Finn smiled.

"You worked really hard for this, Quinn." Rachel added.

Quinn nodded. "Well it meant a lot to me that you guys gave up your weekend for me."

"Mommy, where's Tana and Britt?" Beth asked.

"I don't know." Quinn shrugged. "They'll be back soon."

Beth nodded happily as the apartment door opened.

"Good timing." Finn noted as Santana and Brittany walked in. "Where's Puck?"

"Brittany and I didn't feel like going to the airport, so we made him drop us off first." Santana answered as she and Brittany sat on the couch.

"He's alone with my mom?" Quinn asked.

Santana nodded slowly. "Yeah..."

"She's probably gonna tell him that she hates him." Quinn stated.

"She doesn't hate him." Beth told Quinn. "She said so."

Quinn nodded. "Mhm."

"Finn, we should get going." Rachel said. "We have work tomorrow."

"Can we wait until Puck gets back?" Finn requested.

"Britt, Santana, are you staying overnight?" Quinn wondered.

"Can we, Santana?" Brittany asked.

"Please!" Beth exclaimed as she climbed onto Santana's lap.

Santana shook her head. "Britt has work tomorrow, too."

"Oh yeah." Brittany frowned. "Sorry, Beth."

"It's okay." Beth muttered.

"We'll go when Puck gets here, too, I guess." Santana shrugged.

Puck walked in about twenty minutes later. "Your mom is a chatty lady." He noted as he sat down on the couch.

Quinn made a face. "Did she say anything bad?"

"Not really." Puck replied. "Just that I'm kind of an asshole."

"I'm sorry." Quinn apologized.

Puck smirked. "Not the first time I've heard that one."

Santana stood up. "Britt and I have to get back to New York, but we wanted to wait until you were back to say goodbye."

Rachel nodded and stood up. "Us, too."

Puck got up and hugged his friends one by one. "You guys have to come to one of my shows. I'll give you tickets next time I perform in New York."

"Sounds good to me." Finn responded. "Where are you off to now?"

"I might be doing some stuff in Lima, but we'll see." Puck said. "Safe travels, guys."

"You, too." Brittany smiled as she walked out with Santana, Finn, and Rachel.

Puck turned to Beth. "Hey, Monkeyface. How about that bedtime lullaby?"

"Yay!" Beth cheered as she ran out of the room.

"Be right back." Puck smiled at Quinn as he walked away.
