After Deployment

37

Quinn ended up walking to the Puckerman house. She was mad at her mom and she wanted to calm down before she got there. Plus, she was too impatient to wait for Puck to come pick her up.

When Quinn reached the Puckerman house, she knocked on the front door.

The door opened and Jake stood there.

"Hey, Quinn." Jake smiled. "Come in."

"Hey." Quinn replied. "Thanks."

Jake let Quinn in and closed the door behind her.

"I didn't know you were in Lima." Quinn stated.

"Yeah, well, I start school in a few weeks, so I figured I'd spend some more time with my mom before I go back to New York." Jake explained.

Quinn nodded. "That's a good plan."

"What about you and Puck?" Jake wondered.

"Speak of the devil." Quinn noted as Puck walked by. "Hey, you."

Puck turned and smiled when he saw Quinn. "Hey, baby. I didn't know you were here."

"I just got here." Quinn said as Puck came to greet her.

"Did your mom drop you off?" Puck asked.

Quinn shook her head. "I talked to her and then I left."

"I'm gonna go back outside." Jake muttered, excusing himself before walking away.

"You should've texted me to come get you." Puck told Quinn. "You shouldn't have walked."

"I'm pregnant, not injured." Quinn reminded Puck.

"I know that, but..." Puck sighed as he trailed off. "Wanna go sit down and talk?"

"Between you and my mom, I'm so sick of talking." Quinn stated.

"Maybe later then?" Puck suggested.

"Maybe." Quinn repeated.

"Wanna come outside? The pool's still open." Puck told Quinn.

"Did you tell everyone yet?" Quinn questioned Puck. "About the baby?"

"Not yet." Puck shook his head. "My mom's out with Sarah, and I wanted to tell everyone with you anyway."

Quinn nodded slowly. "Are you gonna tell them about therapy?"

"Yeah, I think so." Puck said. "Do you think I should?"

"Yeah." Quinn answered. "I think it'll be good for them to know."

"Okay." Puck replied. "Now come outside. Please? I can go get a bikini for you."

"You don't wanna see me in a bikini right now." Quinn warned Puck.

"If you wanna skinny-dip, that's your choice." Puck teased with a shrug and a smirk.

"Babe, I'm five and a half months pregnant." Quinn reminded Puck. "There's no way it would be considered a skinny-dip."

"That's what you're concerned with?" Puck laughed. "Not being naked in front of my entire family?"

"Yeah, you're right." Quinn smiled. "I'll come out and lay in the sun while you guys enjoy the pool."
