One Big Happy Family

Puck took Santana and Brittany out to lunch, catching up with them despite thinking about Quinn and Biff the whole time. He knew he had to talk to Quinn, but didn't know where to start, especially without making her upset like Santana had.

After lunch, Puck headed back to his hotel. He took another shower, trying to clear his head before getting dressed.

Leaving his phone behind, he went out for a cigarette.

Puck went through three or four cigarettes before deciding to go back inside. He was starting to get weird looks outside, which meant he was starting to get recognized and needed to retreat before he was bothered.

When he went back to his room, Puck had a missed call and a text from Santana.

Call me

Puck put the phone to his ear as it rang.

"Where the hell did you go?" Santana answered the phone.

"Out." Puck said. "Why?"

"Quinn's looking for you." Santana responded. "I couldn't remember your hotel information, so she's here."

"What?" Puck asked. "Did you talk to her? Is Beth okay?"

"Beth's fine. She's with Jake." Santana explained.

"Did Quinn say anything?" Puck wondered.

"Not really." Santana shook her head. "Just that she's upset and she wants to talk to you."

"I'll be there in, like, ten minutes." Puck promised.

"What the hell is going on?" Puck asked as he entered Santana's apartment.

Santana closed the door and followed Puck.

"Quinn?" Puck asked. "You're freaking me out. Is everything okay?"

"Biff and I got in a fight." Quinn told Puck as he and Santana joined her on the couch.

"Are you okay?" Puck wondered.

Santana put her arm around Quinn and rubbed her back comfortingly.

"He made a comment that I'm gonna be a bad mom when he and I decide we're ready to have kids, and I lost it and screamed at him." Quinn explained as tears filled her eyes. "He said my attitude and behavior are exactly why Beth hates me and-"

"Beth doesn't hate you." Puck interrupted. "Biff has no right speaking for her. She was so excited about spending time with you."

"Is that why you had to come with her?" Quinn asked.

"She doesn't like Biff." Puck told Quinn. "She didn't get into it, but she said he's mean."

Quinn frowned.

"Was she around during the fight?" Puck questioned Quinn.

"She heard us screaming and she got upset so I texted Jake and asked him to come get her." Quinn told Puck. "We tried not to fight in front of her, but we got back into it and Jake calmed Biff and I down."

"Quinn." Puck sighed.

"I know." Quinn responded softly.

"Are you happy with him?" Puck blurted. "Are you even safe there?"

"I-"

"Don't lie to me." Puck cut Quinn off. "Please. If you tell me this was a one-time thing and that you're happy cooking and cleaning for him, and you really wanna be a realtor, I'll believe you, but... just tell me the truth."

Quinn bit her lip.

"You can tell me the truth, Quinn."
