No Strings Attached

47

Quinn spent the entire weekend with Ruth. They got to know each other better and Quinn asked Ruth about labor and delivery and told her how afraid she was. Quinn was glad Ruth was around to keep her calm and relaxed because if she had been alone while Noah was gone, she would've been a mess.

On the night of Finn's wedding, Quinn was laying in bed when she decided to call Noah. She wasn't sure if it was his absence or her large belly getting in the way, but she hadn't been able to sleep since he was gone.

"Hey, babe." Noah answered on the third ring. "How's it going?"

"Good." Quinn said. "I hope I'm not bothering you. I just wanted to say hi."

"Q, you're three hours behind me right now." Noah reminded Quinn. "The reception's over. I'm at Jake's."

"Oh, right." Quinn said.

"I'll be home first thing in the morning." Noah promised. "I hope my mom isn't driving you too crazy."

"She's not." Quinn told Noah. "It's actually been really calming to have her here."

"Calming?" Noah asked. "Are you sure that's my mom and not some weird clone?"

"Shut up." Quinn replied with a laugh. "We talked and it was good."

"Good." Noah repeated.

"How was the wedding?" Quinn wondered.

"It was fun." Noah said. "Everyone missed you, but we played the video message you recorded for Finn and Rachel and they loved it."

"Did you dance?" Quinn asked.

"No, I can't dance." Noah responded. "Plus, there was no one there that I wanted to dance with."

Quinn smiled slightly. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Noah said. "You can teach me how to dance after the baby's born."

"Sounds like a plan." Quinn said.

"I should let you get to sleep." Noah noted.

"I can't get comfortable." Quinn responded.

"Wanna stay on the phone until you fall asleep?" Noah offered.

"Yeah." Quinn replied. "Yeah, just talk to me and the baby until I fall asleep."

"Okay."
