Back to You

"Thanks for picking me up." Quinn said as Jake started driving.

"No problem." Jake said. "Did you have fun? Everyone behaved?"

"Yeah." Quinn muttered.

"You don't sound so convinced." Jake noted.

"I don't wanna talk about it." Quinn replied. "If you wanna know something next time, you can come. You're a former glee kid."

"Not an OG." Jake nodded.

Quinn nodded back.

"So why can't Ally drive Puck home?" Jake wondered.

"What?" Quinn asked.

"You just told Finn not to let Ally drive Puck home." Jake stated.

"Oh, well, she was drinking." Quinn replied.

"She was drinking? She's pregnant." Jake said.

Quinn looked at Jake, her eyes widened as she realized that she had told him what she and Rachel agreed not to tell anyone.

"Well, I don't know if she was drinking." Quinn said softly. "Rachel said she was, but I-"

"Did you tell Puck?" Jake wondered.

Quinn shook her head. "You know he's not gonna believe any of us."

"So what do we do?" Jake questioned Quinn as he looked at her.

"We can't tell him." Quinn replied.

"Well, we can't let him get married." Jake said.

"So when you're at the wedding, tell him you object." Quinn suggested.

Jake nodded slowly as he rolled down his window.

"What are you doing?" Quinn asked.

"Practicing." Jake said as he leaned closer to the window while he continued driving. "I object!"

Quinn laughed as she watched Jake yell it over and over again as if he was really practicing how to deliver those two words.

"Your turn." Jake noted, glancing at Quinn when he stopped.

Quinn laughed and shook her head. "No."

"I'll yell it with you." Jake decided as he rolled down Quinn's window and smiled. "Come on."

Quinn rolled her eyes and smiled as she and Jake leaned towards their windows and yelled together.

"Good." Jake noted, rolling up the windows.

Quinn looked at him.

"Anyway, you'll be happy to hear that the Fabray house is still in one piece and everyone left as calmly and as put together as they were when they went there." Jake informed Quinn.

"Really?" Quinn asked.

"Your mom and Ruth caught up a little bit and were very civil." Jake explained. "Beth was really happy to have them together."

Quinn bit her lip and nodded slowly.

"It's progress, right?" Jake asked.

"Definitely." Quinn said. "You're a good uncle to spend your night hanging out with a six year old."

"She's a good kid." Jake responded. "You've done so well with her."

"Thank you." Quinn smiled slightly.

Jake parked the car in front of Quinn's mom's house and looked at Quinn. "Need help getting inside?"

"I think I'm okay." Quinn told him. "But thanks. And thanks again for the ride."

"Anytime." Jake nodded.

"Beth and I are heading to New York tomorrow, but anytime you wanna come by and see her, text me." Quinn added.

"I will." Jake nodded. "Thanks."

Quinn smiled as she hugged Jake.

"Oh."

Quinn got out of the car. She turned back to Jake.

Jake rolled down the window. "You okay?"

"Yeah." Quinn said. "Just... thanks for getting me home."

"No problem." Jake smiled.

Quinn waved at Jake before turning back around and heading inside.

Quinn changed into pajamas and washed off her makeup. She checked on Beth, who was fast asleep, before crawling into bed.
