Feels like every time I get back on my feet
She come around and knock me down again
5) Mean - P!nk

Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on

Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful

When the desert floods and the grass turns blue
When a sailing ship don't need a moon
It'll break my heart but I'll get through
Someday when I stop loving you

You are, for contradiction's sake,
Everything I remember that I swore I'd forget
Your life has served you well
But everyone around has perished
From this fire that you've lit
Under me

Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold

Oooh you make me smile
Don't know how I lived without you

Is it making you laugh
Is it letting you cry...
...I say it's love

Quinn is sweating, bearing down, and beautiful when she screams his entire name (NOAH! EPHRAIM! PUCKERMAN!). He hopes maybe that means she's changed her mind about Noah James Puckerman.
Then his son slides into the world and she collapses back against the hospital bed, gasping. Puck pries her fingers from around his so that he can cut the cord at the doctor's urging, and Quinn whispers, "Noah," as the baby is laid across her chest (guess that means no, she's not changing her mind). He screams, much like his mother had moments ago, his little fists shaking and his eyes squeezed tightly shut.
Puck's heart feels like it's beating somewhere outside of his chest and Quinn laughs joyfully, her hand reaching up to touch his face. His eyes move from his kicking, angry son to his grinning, exhausted wife. He can't help himself, he leans down and kisses her (with tongue), but she's still just laughing so it's not really a sexy kiss, even though he's trying to convey just how much this moment makes him want her.
"Thank you," she says, her fingers still tracing his jaw. "Thank you for giving me him."
He'd correct her, tell her that it's her who has given him everything, but he can't speak around the lump in his throat. He touches one of Noah's fists, and the small hand opens reflexively to grip one of Puck's fingers. His eyes fly back to Quinn's and he can't even try to pretend that he's not crying. She wraps her hand around her son's as it's wrapped around his father's finger and they kiss again. He's finally able to choke out, "I love you, so much," before the nurse comes and takes Noah away to clean him up.
"Best day ever," Puck says, his hands cupping her face. His lips rub hers softly.
"Best day ever, so far," she corrects gently.
For a split second he begins to imagine everything that's to come, all the things they missed with Alicia, but he barely has time to dwell on it as a newly swaddled Noah is returned to them. Quinn says, "Let his father hold him," and the nurse smilingly hands the baby over to Puck.
His weight is so slight, but just perfect within the crook of Puck's elbow. He looks down at the child who has perfect bow lips like his mother, but he also sees himself in the nose and chin of the little face. Then his son's eyes open and the jolt he feels in his chest is unlike any sensation he's ever had before. He seeks Quinn's gaze again, and she is just lying quietly, watching him, tears on her lashes. "Thank you," he finally says.
She smiles, as she is so apt to do these days, and Puck realizes his heart's been outside of his chest for months now. "You're welcome."
