Quinn took Beth downstairs with her to answer the door. Sam followed.

Quinn opened the door and smiled at Puck in his jeans, white t-shirt, and black leather jacket.

"Quinn!" Sarah squealed as she hugged the blonde.

Quinn smiled. "Sarah, you look pretty. Happy Thanksgiving."

"Thank you." Sarah grinned. "You look so pretty, too."

"Thank you. Hi, Noah." Quinn said as she kissed Puck's cheek. "Happy Thanksgiving."

"Happy Thanksgiving." Puck responded. "Me and Sarah brought pumpkin pie."

"You didn't have to do that, but thank you." Quinn smiled as she took the pie.

Puck nodded as Sam approached him. "Oh, hey, Evans. Happy Thanksgiving."

"Puckerman. Happy Thanksgiving." Sam replied.

"Come in." Quinn requested as she handed Sam the pie and stepped back to let the Puckermans inside. "I'll introduce you to everyone, Sarah."

Sarah nodded and followed Puck inside.

"Tu casa era mi casa." Quinn said as she closed the front door and looked at Puck. "Y ahora, mi casa es su casa."

"Gracias." Puck looked confused, but Quinn knew he understood the end of that sentence. "Hi, Mrs. Fabray. Happy Thanksgiving."

"Thank you. You, too." Judy smiled.

"Thank you for having us." Puck said as he put his hands on Sarah's shoulders. "You remember my little sister, Sarah? I think you met at the hospital."

"Yes, we did." Judy said as she looked at Sarah. "It's good to see you again."

"You, too." Sarah responded. "Thanks for having us."

Quinn went around the room introducing Sarah and Puck to everyone before taking a seat on the couch.

Puck sat down next to Quinn, looking at Beth. Sam sat down on the other side of Quinn when he returned from putting the pie in the fridge.

"You wanna take her, babe?" Quinn asked.

"Sure." Sam nodded.

"Oh, I... I meant Noah." Quinn muttered. "Sorry."

"Oh." Sam repeated as he looked at Puck.

Puck nodded as he gently scooped Beth up and held her. "I swear she's getting bigger everyday."

"Pretty much." Quinn agreed as she squeezed Sam's hand.

"Noah." Sarah said as she walked over to her brother. "Can I hold her next?"

Puck looked at Quinn. "Is that okay with you?"

"Yeah." Quinn nodded. "Just sit down, so we can help you."

Sam shifted down to give Sarah room to sit on the couch in between Puck and Quinn.

Puck carefully put Beth in his sister's arms. "Just make sure you hold her up. And hold her head."

Sarah nodded nervously.

"You're doing great, Aunt Sarah." Quinn added with a smile.

Sarah looked at Quinn and smiled at her. "Really?"

Quinn nodded. "You're a natural."

"Don't put ideas into her head now." Puck warned.

"I like to think that Sarah's the smart Puckerman." Quinn teased. "Besides Beth."

Puck laughed lightly. "Yeah, she is."
