"Hey, babe." Puck said.

Quinn held her phone to her ear. "Hi. How are you? We miss you."

"I'm good." Puck replied. "I miss you, too, but I was calling to tell you that I'll be in New Haven on Wednesday for B's birthday."

"Oh, you'll just be here on Wednesday?" Quinn asked.

"Well... no." Puck answered. "I'm actually getting there tomorrow afternoon."

"That's great." Quinn said happily. "Maybe on Monday while Beth's at school, we can go get her a new bike?"

"Why?" Puck wondered.

"For her birthday, she asked for a puppy, a brother or sister, or a bike." Quinn explained. "And I figured that a bike would be the best idea."

"Well, where is she gonna ride a bike in New York?" Puck questioned Quinn.

"So you think we should get her the puppy?" Quinn asked.

"Nope." Puck said.

"Babe, that leaves me with nothing." Quinn stated.

"Not nothing." Puck corrected her.

Quinn smiled slightly. "What's going on?"

"We should talk in person." Puck replied. "I'll see you in a few days, okay? I love you."

"I love you, too." Quinn said as she hung up the phone. She sighed with relief.

"Mommy, am I getting a puppy?" Beth asked as she walked in the room.

"We'll see, B." Quinn smiled as she got up. "Wanna go get ice cream? It's nice out."

"Will you pay for it?" Beth questioned Quinn.

Quinn smiled. "Of course. Come on."

The two blondes left the apartment together.

"B, Daddy's coming tomorrow so he can be here for your birthday." Quinn informed Beth as they got their ice cream.

Beth looked up at Quinn. "Did Daddy get me a birthday present?"

"We're gonna get you something." Quinn promised as she grabbed a few napkins. "What do you wanna do on your birthday?"

"I don't know." Beth shrugged as she focused on her ice cream.

"We can go to dinner or we can stay home and watch movies, if you want." Quinn suggested.

Beth nodded. "Okay."

"Okay what?" Quinn asked.

"Can we go to dinner with Daddy, Tana, and Finny?" Beth requested.

"I'll text everyone when we go back home." Quinn promised as she finished her ice cream. She wiped Beth's face and hands with napkins as the young blonde continued to eat.

Beth finished eating and smiled. "Thanks, Mommy. Can we go home now?"

"Sure, B." Quinn smiled back as she took Beth's hand and began walking with her.
