"Hey, B." Quinn said softly as she opened Beth's bedroom door. "Can we come in? I wanna talk to you."

"Okay." Beth nodded. "Am I in trouble?"

"Of course not." Quinn replied.

"Okay, then come in." Beth smiled.

Quinn and Noah entered the room and sat down on the bed.

Noah gently pulled Beth up and put her on the bed.

Quinn took a deep breath. "There are some things going around about me and your father."

Beth looked at Quinn. "Like what?"

"Some people think he doesn't know about you." Quinn told Beth. "But he knows and he left, and I'm afraid he might try to come back to see you. And he's a bad person, B."

"I know, Mommy." Beth nodded.

"I'm gonna make sure he can't come near us." Quinn promised. "I'm sorry you don't get to have a dad, but you're safe. I promise."

"I don't need a dad." Beth said as she climbed onto Noah's lap. "I have Noah."

Quinn smiled as Noah wrapped his arms around Beth.

"I love you." Beth told Noah as she tilted her head back and looked at him.

"I love you, too, princess." Noah smiled as he kissed Beth's cheek and held her.

"I love you, Mommy." Beth grinned as she looked at Quinn.

"I love you." Quinn told her. "Both of you."
