"Hey." Puck said, answering his phone.

"Hey, Puck." Jake replied.

"Hey." Puck repeated. "Are you back in New York?"

"No, I'm staying in L.A. for ten more days." Jake said.

"What? Why?" Puck wondered.

"They just gave me a covid test at the airport and it's positive." Jake said. "So they sent me for a rapid and a PCR, and the rapid was positive."

"Crap." Puck muttered. "How do you feel?"

"I'm okay." Jake responded. "I have a headache and I'm kinda tired, but I thought it was allergies and jet lag."

"Crap." Puck repeated.

"I'm really sorry, Puck." Jake apologized. "I feel bad that I might've passed it on to you guys."

"It is what it is." Puck noted. "Let me go so I can call Quinn."

"I'll talk to you soon." Jake replied.

"Yeah, let me know if you need anything." Puck added before hanging up. He took a deep breath as he dialed Quinn's number.

"Hi, Noah." Quinn answered the phone.

"Hey, babe." Puck responded. "Jake just called me."

"He's home already?" Quinn asked.

"No, he's getting a hotel." Puck explained. "He has covid."

"Crap." Quinn said.

"I'm gonna go get tested." Puck decided. "And then I'll come get you and the kids to get tested. I'll call you."

"Okay." Quinn replied. "Is Jake okay?"

"He has pretty mild symptoms." Puck answered. "I'm gonna check in and see if he needs anything later."

"Okay." Quinn repeated. "Call me when you get your test back."

"I will."

"Babe, bad news." Puck said when Quinn answered the phone.

"You have it, too?" Quinn guessed.

"Yeah." Puck responded. "Sorry."

"How do you feel?" Quinn wondered.

"I feel fine." Puck noted. "A little dizzy, maybe, but I'll drink some water and I'll be fine. How are you and the kids?"

"I'm fine." Quinn said. "Beth and I are wearing masks, and she's staying away from Hudson, but I think I'm gonna take her so she and I can get tested."

"You're gonna bring Hudson out?" Puck asked.

"No, I'm gonna drop him off at Mercedes' house." Quinn responded. "She's been quarantining for weeks since she's been doing the livestreams from home."

"And she's okay with watching Hudson?" Puck wondered.

"Yeah, I'm gonna pick him up on my way back." Quinn said.

"We'll figure it out." Puck promised. "Call me when you're done, okay? I'm gonna go to the hotel with Jake."
