any good life advice?

babies are a lot of work, always.

[quinnnhq]

quinn: so i've thought it over. [TWENTY MINUTES LATER] quinn: would you be open to having coffee this week? quinn: just us, i'll pay. @clarkhq

[quinnnhq]

quinn: awesome. sooooo trick or treating and the festival... quinn what are your thoughts around that? quinn: assuming you wanna go and so do I, do we just hang out together.

puck: yeah that's chill that'll work puck: i got clothes and blankets but she'll want something from your place

[quinnnhq]

PRIVATE: mmkay, so now that you've told me everything... I have to know what you thought about our first date. every silly little detail. even the stupid oned where I was freaking out a little babe. I was too scared to ask and plus we were preoccupied. which, was that, okay? like did I do okay?

I don't know how stoked I am about these questions but you're probably right. you're going trick or treating with me and b right? I wanna tell him before we get to the official holiday but only just before so that he doesn't have much time to be pissed. if it goes really bad? like i don't know if our co-parenting relationship will be the same anymore. i'm really scared but knowing I have space at you and your moms and we're only telling a few folks, I feel more open to it. speaking of halloween and trick or treating, i'm thinking I want beth to either be a tiny gymnast or a little ladybug or oooh, maybe a princess. thoughts? all of these costumes are so dang tiny and oh so cute.

PRIVATE: i like seeing you blush, it's cute. you really feel that way? because i've never felt more like me than when i'm with you. it's just hard to deny something when it feels this right. dancing together and it's not in glee club or in your room late at night? that's going to feel so crazy. but crazy good. i like your plan. i'll tell you everything baby, i promise you that.

i just hate that it has to be this way, but i get it. he's going to have so many questions. yeah, i know it just happened but convincing him of that is what'll be hard. but it's not like i could help falling for you. and i don't regret it...it's just a lot you know? to take in. yes of course i'll hold your hand. and we can go do whatever fun thing you want. - you're not being a baby. it's scary. and having to wrap your head around all of this, the unforseen future of it all, i get it. but i think you want puck in beth's life so we have to make up for lost time with him. the people we trust the most won't say a word if we don't want them to. let's just take it one person at a time. of course, i just meant like an escape plan or whatever you need to you've got a place with the akanas. the rambling is kind of cute, i won't lie. maybe we start the conversation with inviting him over just the three of us, we don't need to involve beth as a guilt trip to get him here. just tell him we're tired of lying to him and he deserves to know.

📲 quinn & sam

quinn: hey I saw your mom post an old stroller on FB marketplace. quinn: I need a smaller one for the halloween thing at the end of the week. could I come get it from your house?

[quinnnhq]

quinn: I do recall that you thought she was the cutest newborn you’d ever seen but whateverrrrr lol.

quinn: that’s so freaking real. motherhood has made me pretty boring aside from the occasional party. lemme talk to my parents and then puckerman and let you know but save me so many breadsticks and I’ll meet you there at 8?

quinn: i miss you and i have unfortunately too much stuff to catch you up on.

quinn: ugh san, she’s not a lizard. 🦎 she’s the cutest little two legged baby you know.

quinn: but fine, lemme see if my parents are around OR if puckerman’s free. you good?

[a day later] d

quinn: i am listening, i just see it differently and in order for us to call a truce or whatever, that needs to be okay.

quinn: i don’t know if you’re hearing me exactly either. i see your point of view and that’s just what it is, your point of view. just because i don’t agree doesn’t mean i don’t see it or just bc im not saying exactly what you want me to say in response.

quinn: mmmm okay, i mean im not gonna beg you to see things my way either.

quinn: im willing to be civil for my daughter’s sake if you are.

quinn: still on for coffee tomorrow or?

quinn: great, cause I have no interest in it.

quinn: do you want to have this coffee or not? because you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. beth is not a bomb.

quinn: I’ve already admitted it! but you have no idea about the full story. you and puck haven’t bothered to listen and have just made a lot of shit assumptions. if you want to talk about what when down and try to understand, then back off.

quinn: what do you mean you’ve actively helped him? he doesn’t need your help with beth. if you don’t want to be involved and you “have no interest in being a parent” then stop. you and your dad have nothing to do with me, beth and puck. me saying im a single parent which is true, has nothing to do with puck’s role as a father.

quinn: im willing to try but im not negating that I made mistakes and I do NOT want to talk about puck. i want you to actually listen to me, ME, QUINN. Not the gossip or the rumors or what puck says.

quinn: I’ll buy my own coffee, thanks.

quinn: yup, waiting on you to do the same. see you Wednesday.

quinn: yup, waiting on you to do the same. see you Wednesday.

quinn: WHICH friends? because the last time I checked, I had very few as of late. name names and i'll investigate further. quinn: I don't think you're a slut or a homewrecker or any of those things people have said about you. if you asked me what I thought, i'd tell you. you know what they say about assumptions. quinn: i'm really good, like so good. like truly, i'm just fine and I wouldn't have said anything if you didn't take shots at me over instagram. the fact that you think I have any romantic feelings about puck is laughable and just says more about you. I fucked up, I left, I get it. but leaving wasn't my choice.him being happy makes him a better parent and that's good by me. puck and I are friends, we used to be but we're co-parents, we have a history and for the next seventeen years, we're gonna be in each others lives. that's it. so you can take several seats. i'm not out to steal your bf. quinn: right. whatever helps you sleep at night. I appreciate that you have the decency to say it to my face this time. quinn: I'll stop if you will. but WE have to both stop. and so does puck. the name calling and the digs are happening on BOTH SIDES. quinn: sure you did. quinn: never wanted anything to do with? not a fan of that phrasing but I get the picture. if you're going to spend time with her, by function of puck, I need you to act like you care, just a little bit. quinn: the problem wasn't that you existed when I told him, it's more complicated than that. he didn't tell me he was dating anyone and as the mother of his child, I had a right to know about you. I may have gone about it in a way you didn't respect, and I don't care but puck and I demanded transparency from each other. was it healthy? no? did I fuck up? absolutely. but real talk, you were just in my path, it didn't have anything to do with you. quinn: no one is pushing you around, but just like you'll stand up for yourself. i'll do the same for me and beth. at the end of the day, she's what matters. to puck and to me. she may not matter to you and that's fine. quinn: yeah, i've taken b there before. that's sounds good. i know you you haven't spent much time around her yet but beth takes 2-3 naps during the day and will likely fall asleep in her car seat on our way there so i'll have at least a couple of hours to chat once she's settled in that new crib of hers lol. quinn: not a coffee drinker?

catrina: you have perpetuated the rumors time and time again. your friends ARE harassing me, and doing it in YOUR NAME it IS your responsibility to put a stop to it. catrina: if my friends were harassing you and making comments about you being a slut, i would put a stop to it. catrina: /i/ tried to be friends with you quinn. check your phone, i messaged you as soon as you were back at school, you chose to be hostile towards me from the start, so don't try to pretend you've been the bigger person all along when that's simply untrue. catrina: you will not govern what i post about myself and my boyfriend and if you are not over him or the fact that he's with me that's none of my business. i can and will post whatever i'd like, and if you decide to read into things because of how you're feeling that's your prerogative. catrina: i'm sorry if you took offense to me posting a song on my boyfriend's birthday, but i was not thinking about you when i posted it. catrina: again, /i/ am the one taking the initiative to fix things, so i am willing to let all of this go, so long as we can agree to stop this here once and for all. catrina: i wanted to be your friend, because i do believe that is how to best support puck and the family you have together. a family i have never disrespected, for the record. catrina: i'm sure your story is complicated. what's not is the fact that i don't want anything to do with your child. i never have. again, let's make this clear; puck and i started before you ever told him he HAD a child. did you really think you'd tell him and he'd dump me on sight? no. you had to have at least considered that in more than a year since seeing you he'd move on. catrina: again, i don't want this to be hostile, but i want to be clear i will not be pushed around, quinn. we can co-exist. we can be friendly. catrina: i can work around you, maybe we could just take a walk from the puckerman's? that way beth can stay with her dad while we talk. there's a park close by we can walk to.

[quinnnhq]

quinn: sounds like a plan. i'm down to be a grown up if you are. quinn: i'm not the person who started those rumors, contrary to popular belief. I have no idea who did and to pin it all on me isn't fair. we used to be friends and we clearly aren't anymore. sure, i haven't publicly denounced them but I didn't know that the gossip blog was posting that shit. quinn: for the sake of beth, i will but NOT because you told me too. quinn: for the record, I am sorry that they keep poking you. it's not cool or okay. they're false and shitty about me too. quinn: bullied? harassed? if that's what you call a person standing up for herself, i don't know what to tell you. but truly, you supporting him isn't my concern. puck and i are exes, but most importantly, we're co-parents. we have a kid together. that's it. quinn: me being annoyed at puck has nothing to do with you. i'm good to be civil but you have to play fair. the instagram posts have to stop. and you have to agree to stop bad mouthing me TOO. i'm down to settle this. quinn:I just want to create a healthy environment for beth. that's all i'm trying to do and if you're gonna be around her, how we engage has to be chill. quinn: why I was gone and all the shit surrounding it was a lot more complicated than you think. quinn: do you have time for coffee at the lima bean this week? on me. how's your wednesday?

📲 catrina & quinn

catrina: i'm not doing this anymore, so you and i are going to sit down like adults and hash this out once and for all. catrina: i have no interest in parenting beth. you are going to stop allowing people to think i've wrecked your home, and going forward you WILL go out of your way to stop rumors that suggest i have done anything of the sort. catrina: i will support puck, and i will not be bullied or harassed into not being with him because our relationship is none of your business. catrina: i will hear you out. once. so you can make the choice on how you want our relationship to proceed based on how you respond to me now. i'm not going away, so i hope you choose the path of civility for everyone's sake. @quinnnhq

[quinnnhq]

quinn: yeah but i'm used to it unfortunately. quinn: monday sounds great, do you know where my locker is? quinn: sounds good. quinn: aw, well, thanks.

taylor: sue's unhinged, she probably would have sent you on a wild goose chase taylor: okay i'll meet you by your locker first thing monday morning taylor: i'll send you the deets taylor: least i could do, any friend of keke's is a friend of mine. plus i'm a sucker for kids

[quinnnhq]

PRIVATE: here you go...making me blush all over again. being yours still feels like a dream at this point. i've finally woken up and I am so glad I did. being with you, feels like i can finally breathe agin. hey, that's what i thought too. very lowkey but also fast enough to sway too. trying to enjoy our date, not be overwhelmed and not able to talk. I trust you, but you gotta tell me everything they say. i'm excited for them to be our biggest fans.

that means the world to me keeks. he's not but once we do it, he can be in his feelings and then hopefully he'll come around. i want him to know that being an us, just happened. we didn't just shack up, you know? whenever we do it...can you hold my hand? and can we do something fun afterwards? even with puck, i'm just so scared. i feel like i'm being such a baby about all of this. but, if we take it slow, telling our close circle first and make them promise not to tell my parents, i'm willing to try. i love you too and that offer, it's it's too generous babe, really, i...let's see how things with puck go and then we take it from there? if i, or beth and i need to stay with you, i'd pay rent, i don't want to intrude. how do i even open up this kind of conversation with him? sorry, for rambling. fuck. i just really, really love you. you know that?

PRIVATE: no, i just know how to make one girl blush...a girl i've been trying to make mine for what feels like forever so i gotta make it worth it. hey, obscure folk band sounds better than random emo screamo band. i don't think i could take that, not very first date material. okay that's no problem. i can tell them on my own honestly momma will probably laugh and say "FINALLY" but i'll still let you know.

it's okay to feel scared. we can just start with telling puck, i know he's not going to take it too well but we have to at least tell him. at one point he was one of my closest friends and to not tell him things make me feel icky. we can just take it person by person, only the people we trust first. you know if anything happened with your parents you could stay with us. we have an extra room. i know i wasn't in your plans and definitely not in theirs, so we can do whatever we need to do to make sure you're safe. you and beth. i love you and i know you're not hiding me by choice. it's safer for them to think we're just friends.

[quinnnhq]

quinn: truly the smartest. quinn: yeah quinn: you did? that's really really awesome. she's definitely going to be so excited. quinn: I can drop off a backup stuffie for her to have at yours if that's okay?

puck: she's our kid ofc she's too smart for that veggies stuff puck: yeah we did puck: btw i got a crib in my room so she can stay here longer and actually nap or whatever
