"Two things." Puck said as he took a deep breath. "First thing is, I have a show in New York at the end of this month and I was hoping you and Beth would come. It's my last show for a while."

"Of course we'll be there, but why is it your last show?" Quinn wondered.

"I wanna spend more time with you and Beth this summer." Puck responded. "And my sister and brother."

Quinn smiled. "Really?"

"Yeah." Puck said.

"I don't want you giving everything up for me." Quinn reminded Puck.

"I'm not." Puck insisted. "This is for me, too. I need a break."

"I love you." Quinn said as she hugged Puck.

"I love you." Puck replied as he held her. "Do you wanna hear the second thing?"

Quinn got off of Puck and looked at him. "Oh, right."

"I wanna talk about Beth." Puck said. "You know, she's getting older and you've been doing so well with her, and I'm really proud of who she's becoming."

Quinn smiled slightly. "Beth is one thing we did right."

"Yeah." Puck smiled back. "She is."

"We still have to get her a birthday present." Quinn said.

"Well, what were our options? Puppy, baby, or a bike?" Puck asked.

Quinn nodded.

"I say we get her a bike." Puck shrugged.

"Damn, I really thought you would say puppy." Quinn frowned.

"Well, I don't want a puppy if there might be a baby around anytime soon." Puck said.

Quinn looked at him.

Puck squeezed her hand lightly. "I've been thinking about it a lot since you mentioned it, and maybe we are ready for another kid."

"Yeah?" Quinn asked.

Puck nodded. "I love Beth. And in case you haven't noticed, I'm pretty good with her."

Quinn smiled. She put her arms around Puck's neck and kissed him. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Puck said.
