"You look like him." Jake told Puck when they were alone.

Puck looked at his brother. "You don't."

"I look like my mom." Jake answered.

Puck nodded slowly. "He never told me about you."

Jake furrowed his eyebrow.

"I saw him six months ago." Puck added. "He could've told me then. He had no problem asking me for money."

"Did you give it to him?" Jake wondered.

"Yeah." Puck nodded.

"Why?" Jake asked.

"This is really weird." Puck stated as he stood up. "I've never had a brother before. Well, besides Finn, but this is different."

"We're not brothers." Jake insisted.

"We have the same dad." Puck noted.

"So we're half brothers." Jake clarified.

Puck rolled his eyes. "I came here so I could meet you. And get to know you."

"Why?" Jake questioned Puck, folding his arms.

"Why are you so mad at me for what Dad did?" Puck wondered.

Jake didn't say anything.

"He did this to all of us, okay?" Puck hissed.

"At least he was around for you." Jake stated.

"Around?" Puck repeated with a laugh. "He was never around. And when he was, he was drunk and would beat me and my mom. Sarah doesn't know him at all."

"Sarah?" Jake asked.

"My sister." Puck clarified.

"So are you like him, too?" Jake questioned Puck. "Kitty said you got somebody pregnant?"

"That was an accident." Puck stated. "The only things I learned about sex were from the cougars I slept with. They didn't care about protection, so neither did I."

Jake looked at Puck. "So you have a kid?"

"She's almost two and a half." Puck nodded.

"Does she live with you?" Jake wondered.

"She lives in New York." Puck explained. "She was adopted by Finn's ex's biological mother."

Jake laughed lightly at the ridiculousness of it all.

Puck smiled slightly as Finn entered the room.

"I hope I'm not interrupting brotherly bonding time."

"Not at all." Puck said. "Jake, this is Finn. Finn, Jake."

"Nice to meet you." Finn shook Jake's hand as he looked at Puck. "What's going on?"

"I was just telling Jake about Beth." Puck explained.

"Beth's the best!" Finn exclaimed. "She's awesome. Obviously, she takes after Quinn."

"Obviously." Jake agreed with a laugh.

"I'm glad my best friend and my brother are bonding." Puck smiled and shook his head. "It's true though; Beth's amazing. She's all Q."
