Because I Loved You

I helped Finn upstairs to his bedroom and sat him down on his bed. His room was so tiny there was only enough room for his bed, his dresser, and a window, a small window. I hoped my baby's room was bigger than his…

"I can't stand this!" he wailed covering up his eyes with his hands.

"Finn I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you," I said beginning to pace circles around his little square.

"I'm not worried about ME!" he shouted. "They threatened HER!"

"You know the baby's a girl?" I asked stopping my rings.

"No of course I don't know she's a girl! My ultrasound appointment isn't until next week!"

"Then why are you calling him a girl?!" I thundered.

Finn let out another wail and I remembered why we were up here, so I could calm him down.

I kneeled down next to him on the floor and reached out for his belly. It was round and warm and I could feel his heart racing through it.

"Finny I'm not gonna let anyone hurt him… or her, ‘kay? I promise."

"And you promise not to kill anyone?" he gulped.

I rolled my eyes and clenched my teeth. "Yes."

He nodded but kept crying! It scared me seeing him crying but seeing him so emotional made ME… I dunno sad or something… angry…

I stood up. "Finn…?"

"Don't leave me…" he whispered and I groaned internally. This would not end up well…

"Just put your hands here… there you go… you were doing it earlier… good now we're spooning."
"DON'T say that!" I growled.

He laughed. "Chill Puck, you're doing fine…"

This was starting to turn into a THING… A BAD thing… Twice this week I'd found myself in bed with Finn, not having sex, and cuddling… or spooning or whatever the hell he called it. Hopefully it wouldn't end up with us arguing again; after this day I really didn't think I had the patience to handle that.

He was in front of me, I was behind him, our legs were bent at the knees, I had my hands on his belly, and we fit perfectly together.

"How long are we gonna do this for?" I asked.

"Until we feel comfortable," he said. "And until I fall asleep."

I sighed. "Fine… It's kinda nice…"

"Puck did you just say what I think you said?" he asked.

"What?!" I said. "I can't enjoy snuggling with you?!"

He started to say something.

"YES I understand I just shot myself in the foot Finn!" I said as he started laughing hysterically.

"Shut up…" I muttered.

"Hey well, maybe I enjoy snuggling with you too Puck…" he said quietly.

"Really…?" I asked.

Finn turned around in my arms and looked up at me. "It’s not awful…" he muttered. “And I was really scared today so…"

"Yeah!" I answered. "It’s understandable!"

He smiled the smallest smile and rested his head on me.

"Hey Finn?" I asked. "Is being pregnant making you-"

"Feel all homey and domestic?" he interrupted.

"Yeah and horny?!" I cried.

"Um sometimes…" he said awkwardly.

"Yeah but like more than usual?" I pressed.

"Only when I'm around-"

"You," I completed.

"This isn't good," he whispered.

"It could be," I muttered.

He looked back up at me. "What are you saying Puck?" he asked.

"Well we could fool around," I said trying to crush the nervousness in my voice.

"Is that a good idea?" he asked.

I shrugged. "Probably not… I mean it could be…"

"Well we don't have to…" he muttered shrinking away from me.

"But I want to," I answered.

"Well yeah, I dude, I do too," he muttered frowning.

"Heh," I laughed pulling him back and closer to me, one of the only other times I'd been that close since we were screwing on a daily basis. "You know this would be cute if we weren't so awkward…?"

"Puck just shut up and lets kiss or something," he said rolling his eyes.

I nodded my head yes and pressed my lips on his. That's all it took to start it. Soon we were kissing harder and together we worked him onto his back.

"We can't have sex," he said after a while in a raspy voice.

"What…?" I asked. "Why?"

"My mom's still in the house," he laughed.

I thought about it. "Yeah, bad idea."

He laughed again and kissed me.

I loved his laugh and I loved his kisses…
