"Look who's here." Puck said softly as he pushed Beth's stroller into the choir room.

"Baby Fabray!" Tina exclaimed.

"Baby Puckerman." Quinn corrected Tina as she looked at everyone. "Noah and I are sorry we had to bring her, but we didn't have a babysitter."

"It's nice to have her here." Mr. Schue smiled.

"Oh my gosh, she's getting so big." Mercedes said. "I can't believe it."

"I can't believe how much she looks like you, Quinn." Artie added.

"Yeah." Quinn smiled and squeezed Puck's hand. "Babe, let's go sit."

Quinn and Puck sat in the front of the choir room, so they could park Beth's stroller beside them.

"We're gonna work on choreography today." Mr. Schue decided. "And make sure Dave is caught up."

"I think I am." Karofsky said. "I've been working really hard on it. With Kurt."

"Yeah, and Dave learned some moves when the football team joined glee club." Kurt reminded everyone.

Mr. Schue nodded. "Right. Kurt and Dave, you can pair up with Brittany and Santana. It doesn't really matter who's with who."

"I'll take Karofsky." Santana muttered as she stood up.

"I guess I'm with Britt then." Kurt smiled slightly.

"Cool." Brittany smiled back.

"Let's get started." Mr. Schue said as everyone stood up. "A 5, 6, 7, 8!"

"Thanks again for letting us bring Beth, Mr. Schue." Quinn said for the millionth time. "Sorry about her little outburst. She was overwhelmed with all the unfamiliar faces."

"Don't apologize, Quinn. She's a baby. It's okay." Mr. Schue smiled. "She's welcome here anytime."

"Thank you." Quinn smiled back. "See you tomorrow."

Mr. Schue nodded as he walked over to Kurt and Karofsky.

"What time is your mom coming home?" Puck wondered.

Quinn shrugged. "I don't know."

"Wanna come over? I don't think anyone's home." Puck said.

"Your house isn't baby-proofed." Quinn noted.

Puck nodded. "I know, but I wanna cook dinner for us. You know, like a date."

"You can cook?" Quinn asked.

"Hell yeah." Puck said. "Wait, you don't remember all those times I cooked dinner last year?"

"I remember crying a lot and fighting a lot." Quinn stated. "And I remember you getting me ice cream and bacon at 3 am quite a few times."

Puck smiled slightly. "Yeah, well, I had to feed my girls."

Quinn smiled back. "Why don't you come over? We can cook together."

"I'll meet you at your house." Puck nodded. "I'm gonna stop home and grab my groceries."

"Okay." Quinn said. "You can bring Sarah, too, if she wants."

"Yeah, if she's home." Puck responded. "You're good with the baby?"

Quinn nodded. "I'll see you soon."

"See you soon." Puck echoed as he kissed Quinn lightly before walking away.

Quinn looked at Olivia. "Ready to go?"

Olivia nodded.
