"Sweetheart, it's time to get up." Judy said softly.

Quinn rolled over and opened her eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's 12:30." Judy answered.

"PM?" Quinn asked.

"Yes. Were you up late?" Judy wondered.

Quinn nodded. "Beth woke up a few times last night and took forever getting back to bed. I think it's because she's alone in the nursery."

"She's fine." Judy promised. "Don't worry so much."

"I can't help it." Quinn said.

Judy nodded. "Sam's downstairs with Olivia."

"I'll be down soon." Quinn replied. "I need to shower and get dressed."

"Okay." Judy nodded as she walked out.

Quinn rolled out of bed and dragged herself to the bathroom to shower.

When the water got cold, Quinn got out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her body and she wrapped her hair in a towel before she returned to her room.

Quinn put on a maroon knee-length dress and black wedge booties. She blow-dried and straightened her hair. When she was done, she put on concealer, mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss.

Quinn walked into the nursery and smiled at Beth.

"Happy Thanksgiving." She said as she lifted Beth out of the crib and put her on her hip. "I'm thankful for you, B."

Beth smiled and cooed happily as she lightly held onto Quinn's hair.

Quinn laid Beth down on her changing table. She cleaned her and changed her diaper. Quinn put Beth in a onesie and put a pink bow in her hair.

Quinn put Beth on her hip and went downstairs to the living room. "Happy Thanksgiving, everyone."

"Happy Thanksgiving." Sam grinned as he got up from the couch. He walked over to Quinn and greeted her with a kiss.

"Sorry I slept so late." Quinn apologized as Sam's brother and sister approached her.

"I'm glad you got to sleep in." Sam said softly as he looked at the two kids behind him. "Quinn, you remember Stevie and Stacey, right?"

Quinn smiled at the blondes. "Of course. It's good to see you two."

"Stevie, Stacey, do you remember my girlfriend, Quinn?" Sam asked his siblings.

Stacey nodded as Stevie looked at Quinn.

"Make yourselves comfortable." Quinn said. "I need to do all the chores I was supposed to do this morning."

"We took care of everything." Olivia told Quinn. "Sam got here early enough, and he brought good helpers."

"Thank you so much." Quinn grinned. "Where did my mom and Tom go?"

"They ran out to pick up dessert, I think?" Sam shrugged.

Quinn nodded and looked at Stevie and Stacey, who were still looking at her. "Why don't we sit on the couch and relax until dinnertime?"

"That sounds like a plan." Sam said as he scooped up his brother and sister.

They giggled as Sam lightly tossed them on the couch.

Quinn sat down beside Sam on the loveseat, and Olivia sat on the couch with Sam's siblings.

"Can I hold her?" Sam requested.

Quinn nodded. "Yeah, I'm gonna grab myself a water bottle and text Puck back. Anyone need anything from the kitchen?"

Stevie and Stacey looked at Sam.

"Don't be shy." Sam said as he took Beth from Quinn.

"Why don't you two come with me and we can see what we have?" Quinn suggested as she put her hands out. "Come on."

Stevie and Stacey hurried to the blonde and followed her to the kitchen.
