Quinn POV:

I'm lying again…

I'm lying... because I don't want her to get involved. I don't want to hurt her again. 'Cause I don't want her to let me choose my daughter.

I know Santana, she'll do anything just to make me happy and she knows that for me, my daughter is the most precious thing in this world.

But I can't lose her either. I love her.

"Hey baby, are you okay? Is there something bothering you?", She asked, as she kisses my shoulder, that it makes me blinked out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, everything's- - - fine.", I stuttered a little.

"Are you sure, Q?", I know she can read me, but I'm glad I can still manage to hide things.

"Of course.", I smiled like everything is fine.

Puck is being a pain in the ass, 'two more days to decide', he said. I almost agreed with him but every time I looked with Santana… 'I can't', I always told myself.

"Hey lovers!", Kurt called, "It's time to get out of your cave, and join us here in the living room!"

"Coming!", She answered, "Come on, babe. Rachel is coming home with Puck.". my eyes got wide.

"PUCK?", Yes, I was shocked.

"I know right? Shocker!", She commented as she puts her shirt on, "I mean, who would have thought that he's living in New York? I thought he was in LA scrubbing pools and some old rich ladies that smells like eeeh… something.", She smirked and got up out our bed.

I can't compose anything. What if Puck slips something from his mouth? I'm not gonna let him do anything stupid.

"San, do you want to go with me? I need to buy something that I forgot yesterday."

"I need to help Kurt and Rachel in preparing, can we do that after?"

"No, it's fine. Just don't talk to Puck too much.", I told her ,and it gave her a confused look

"Hmmm, why?", She raised eyebrows, "Pfff! Are you jealous? Is my baby jealous?", She smiled as she thought that that was the real reason.

I nodded, even if it's not the real reason, "Yes. So don't, okay?"

"Yes ma'am.", she chuckled and shakes her head.

"Ladies!", Kurt called again.

"Coming!", we answered in unison.

"Oh Quinn, will you text Rachel that…"

"Kurt, what are you doing?", I asked.

"What do you mean of what am I doing?"

"Puck pushed you. Why are you letting him to come in here?", I angrily asked.

"That's why he wants to come in here, to say sorry. Maybe the guy has some problems, and we are his friends. And why are you mad? You're not the one he pushed to the wall?", He shakes his head and walked out.

Fuck! What now? I cannot be MIA the whole day. What if Kurt, Rachel or Santana insist him to stay for the night? Crap. Just kill me.

I've been walking around the mall for one hour and forty seven minutes, I've also ate lunch in some restaurant and kept on praying that when the time I got home, Puck should not be there, but I just got a message from Santana that Puck can wait until midnight. I can't be outside until midnight!

So, I don't have something to do but to just go back in the Apartment.

"Shit.", I keep on muttering as I wandering the street going back to our Apartment.

But then someone took my attention, because of a blonde haired little kid on the other side of the street.

When she looked at me and smiled, that was the time I knew it was Beth.

I ran towards her to hug her.

I wrapped her little body into my arms, and shower her with kisses

"Get off me!", She yelled.

"No, baby it's me. It's mommy, don't you remember me?", I said as everyone started to look.

"No! Mommy!", She cries for help as she keep on struggling away from my hug.

"No, don't be scared. I will not hurt you. Please baby, let mommy hug you.", I begged

"Quinn! What are you doing?! Help!"

______________________________________________

Santana POV:

Quinn says that she'll be gone for awhile, but it's almost 7 in the evening and she hasn't sent any message yet.

"Hey Santana, can I stay for the night? I need to catch up with Quinn.", Puck asked.

"Yes, sure.", I plainly answered.

"Where is she now by the way?", He asked.

"I don't know. I'm trying to reach her phone, called her fuckin' fifteen times but nothing!", I yelled.

"What's going on?", Rachel interrupted.

"Quinn won't answer my calls.", I sighed and I swear I saw Puck smirking, "Why are you smirking?", And now I'm getting more pissed.

"Nothing, I always smirk! Come on, your girlfriend is old enough to decide when to answer a call from anybody.", he said and got back to drinking is sparkling cider.

"I'm not just anybody. I'm her girlfriend, you idiot.", I muttered.

"What did you say?"

"Okay! I think you both are drunk. Let Rachel and I wait for Quinn, and you two go to bed.", Yes, I know Kurt was trying to cool us down. Seeing the look from Puck's eyes terrifies me. He's like another person or something.

"You know Santana, just a reminder. Quinn is a good player, she loves fooling around and makin' fun just for a lil' while…"

"So, what's your point, asshole?!", I yelled as I ball my fist… I know that second I'm ready to punch and erase someone's face.

"My point is, don't flatter yourself that Quinn Fabray is makin' out with you, having sex with you and staying in this apartment as your GIRLFRIEND. 'Cause you know any girl wants a dick and will not settle for just pus-", I didn't let him finish. There's a loud thud in the living room that made Rachel and Kurt shocked. Yes, I did punch him and knocked him out.

"Is he dead?", Rachel cannot move from her spot.

"No!", Even me, I cannot believe that I knocked out Puck.

"Shit! I think I wet my pants, Santana.", Kurt said.

"Just get some water, and spill it on him.", Kurt ran towards to kitchen to get a glass of water.

And when Kurt came back, "Rachel, do it!", he commanded

"Why me? He'll think that I was Santana!"

I took the glass from Kurt and spilled the water to Puck's face.

"What the…", he was back to his conscious.

"Walk away! Or else we will call a police!", I warned.

"I'm telling you Santana, one day you'll just wake up and realize your Quinn is gone."

I know Quinn wouldn't do that, but Puck's words made my breath took away, and made me want to faint.

"Dyke!", He yelled to me,"Gay!", and to Kurt. He looked at Rachel.

"I'm straight, Noah!"

"Fake Barbra!", And he walked out.

Yes, Noah Puckerman is a douche and... a kid.

When the door closed, the three of us exhale a breath of relief. But then my phone rings that makes us all startled.

"Hello? Yes, this is she… What?... Okay, is she alright? We'll be there in twenty minutes.", the call ended, "Shit!", I muttered.

"What happened? Who was that?", Kurt asked.

"Quinn is at the police station.", I answered

"Was she raped?", Rachel asked.

"No! She's not. But I don't know why she's with Shelby?"

"What did she do?", Kurt asked.

"Come on, Quinn needs us. Kurt make sure the burglar alarm is open.", as we go ahead to the police station, I kept on thinking why Quinn's got there, and the fact that Shelby is with her? Is this something about Beth?

As we walked to the hallways in the police station heading to the room where Quinn and Shelby is as the receptionist told us, my heart beat was getting faster and faster.

"Quinn!", I run towards my girlfriend and hugged her so tight.

"San, I'm sorry.", Crying she said.

"It's fine, tell me what happened. What are you doing here?", I asked as I loosen the hug.

"Your girlfriend was trying to take away my child, and now my child can't stop from crying because of her!", I heard Shelby said from my back so I stood up and turned around.

"First of all, I was not asking you to answer, I was asking my girlfriend. Second of all, if the reason my girlfriend here is crying because of you I'll tear you up in pieces and you'll get your sorry ass. Third of all, just fuckin' shut up. Are we clear?", She swallowed and nods

I took back my attention to Quinn to hear her answer.

"I-I was walkin' in-in the street, I saw a kid and… and I knew it was Beth. That's why I never asked or say hi to her. I just grabbed her, and hugged her, and it felt so wonderful, and for the first time I felt like a mother, but then she cried, and shouted to let her go.", Her voice was shaking.

Quinn stopped, "I can't.", She cries.

"Shhh, just take a deep breath and continue.", She nods and did what I advice.

"I-I said I'm her m-mother, but she kept on shouting 'no' and it hurts. Shelby saw us, there was a police near on that street and they thought that I was going to kidnap her.", She cries again.

"I just want to hug her, and be with her for just one day, San.", She added. Seeing Quinn heartbroken for her daughter makes me cry too. I just hug her back because I didn't know what to say. I've never been a mother, but I know how a mother can do everything for their child.

"It's okay, everything will be fine. I love you.", That was all I can say to comfort her.

"Puck.", She said.

"What about him?"

"When you were in the operating room, Puck saw me. He was in the same hospital because of Beth, and I said I want to see her if she's okay, but he won't let me. He offered me a deal... that if I'll leave you and go with him, I'll get my daughter back.", She looked away and I saw her tears streaming down her face.

"What did you say?", I asked.

"I can't."

"So, you and Puck have this idea of taking away my child?!", Shelby yelled, "Officer, you need to do something about this, don't tolerate this kind of idea, this woman needs to be in jail!"

"Ma'am, we need to ask more from the suspect to clear things up of what's true and what's not.", The officer said.

"There's nothing to clear up! She already said it!", She reasoned.

"Shelby, only Puck came up with that idea, and not Quinn! Don't do this!", Rachel interrupted.

"Rachel, you're picking a wrong side here."

"I'm not picking any side! Quinn has nothing to do with any of these. And what are you gonna do with Puck, huh? Maybe you're the one who's picking a wrong side?"

"Rachel, of course Puck should pay for this, too." Shelby said.

"But Quinn has no intention to take Beth away from you. She just wants to see her daughter. Shelby, I know that you know the feeling of a mother who doesn't have a chance to see her child and be a mom. You've been there."

"Don't compare me to Quinn, Rachel.", Shelby said with teary eyes.

"Just let my friend go.", Rachel begged.

Shelby looked at us and exhaled.

"Just promise that none of you will bother our family, even you Rachel.", Shelby said to her own daughter. Yes, I can feel the hurt.

Rachel blinks but still composed herself, "Fine, if that's what you want. I have two fathers, I don't need you.", Rachel confidently said but I know, the way I read her eyes, she'll break down after this.

"So, can I interrupt to settle this problem properly?", The officer asked.

______________________________________________

It was a sound of silence driving back to apartment; I held Quinn's hand all the way back. Both Quinn and Rachel were trying not to let any teardrops fall down from their eyes but their eyes betrayed them.

"Why don't the both of you try to let out what you feel, instead of trying to wipe those tears falling from your eyes, and keep on snorting?" Kurt said that makes the three of us chuckled and the next thing we realized all of us were laughing.

"See?", Kurt laughed harder.

"We sound like crazy! We are crying while laughing!", Quinn commented.

"We are crazy.", Rachel said as I parked the car in the gasoline station.

"You all want to grab some ice cream? My treat!", I asked.

"As long as you'll not insist us to take same flavor.", Quinn said.

"Okay! No banana flavor.", I smirked.

"Yehey!"

______________________________________________

Back to the apartment, all of us cannot take a deep sleep so we decided to baked some cookies, heat a popcorn and watch each of our favorite movies as Quinn snuggled at me and Kurt and Rachel snuggled into their pillow boyfriends.

"So, we have two to go? Anyone who's already sleep?", I asked.

"None.", Kurt said.

"Rachel?", Quinn called.

"Yes?"

"I want to say thank you for what you did in the police station, for standing up for me. I also want and need to say sorry, that all of that needs to happen just for me.", Quinn stood up and hugged Rachel, "I'm sorry."

Rachel hugged back and comforts Quinn, "Nah, it's fine. You're a part of my family. Everything will be fine when Shelby realized that Puck is an asshole. There's a perfect time for you and Beth. You're a good mom and someday your child will see how wonderful you are. Maybe not with Beth, maybe your future child with Santana.", Then that's the time I saw Quinn's eye sparkled.

I started to cry knowing how we are lucky to have Rachel as our friend, "Rachel, thank you.", I said, "I just also want you to know that despite of me being a bitch to you that I love you, and you're a good daughter, maybe Shelby can't see that, but you're to your fathers, and you're a sister to me, Quinn and Kurt."

"Aww, I know you love me, Santana. You're just such a bitch sometimes.", She chuckled.

"Don't flatter yourself dwarf!", I smiled and stood up to give her a hug.

"Oh my god, I miss my mom. Can I have a hug, too?", Kurt started to cry and he's not cute.

We all gave each other a group hug, "I love you guys.", Quinn says.
