𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐍 𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍'𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍'𝐒, "𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔". The blonde had been at it for around 2 hours now, and it didn't look like she was going to stop. She clamped her sheet music in her hands as she looked down at the words, grumbling every time she couldn't roll her r's properly.

"I give up !" she huffed as she threw her sheet music on the floor, tossing herself back on Aerin's bed.

Aerin looked down at Quinn as she held her 2 year old in her arms, "You did your best Q, I thought you were really good," she encouraged.

Quinn flipped herself around, "I appreciate you lying to make me feel better, but it wasn't good in the slightest. I pronounced half of the words wrong, and I was totally off beat, Puck was supposed to be here with his stupid guitar, but as usual he's a no show." she vented.

Aerin put her finger on her lips as she looked down at Lennon, the toddler had finally fallen asleep. She gently kissed the top of the little girl's forehead as she laid her down on the bed next too her, tucking her daughter in with her favourite stuffed lamb. Quinn looked at the pair and softly smiled, she thought it was beautiful, a single mother and her child. The way she looked at her lovingly, softly whispering lullabies, telling her baby she was her 'special little girl'. It brought back bitter-sweet memories of what could have been. But she knew that she did what was best for her own little girl, even if she did miss her once in awhile. She quickly looked away to wipe a loose tear as she took in a sharp intake of breath.

"You're so good with her," Quinn comments, as she stood up to sit in Aerin's rocking chair.

Aerin looked over at Quinn with a smile "Thanks" she whispered, as she got up from her bed to stand near the door. "She's my world, I honestly couldn't picture my life without her in it."

Aerin could tell something was wrong, she could see she was visibly upset about something, she wanted to ask but at the same time she didn't want to bombard her with insensitive questions and queries about something that had nothing to do with her. "Let's go downstairs, mom just stocked the fridge with a bunch of snacks," she giggled as she gestured for Quinn to come.

Quinn softly chuckled "lead the way, Cline" she smiled, linking arms with her new friend as they headed down to the kitchen.

"𝐒𝐎 𝐀𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍, 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐀 ?", Quinn questioned, as she put a blueberry in her mouth.

Aerin furrowed her eyebrow as she looked at the girl with confusion, "Nothing" she remarked, "Why would there be?"

Quinn shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, she always talks about you during cheerios practice, it can get annoying at times."

Aerin felt her blush burn slightly through her cheeks, her face felt like a hot oven. She suddenly felt awkward as she tried to hide her rosy cheeks behind her skinny fingers. She looked down and bit her bottom lip, at this point Quinn had put two and two together. But before Quinn could say anything the back door to the kitchen had flung open. Atticus and Puck strutted in proudly, whilst Sam and Finn traipsed behind them. Atticus had a case load of beers whilst Puck carried a stack of red cups.

Aerin turned to face her brother, "Please don't tell me your planning to have a party," she whined.

"Even better, we're gonna have a totally cool kegger !" Puck announced.

Quinn raised an eyebrow, "Don't you need a keg to have a kegger ?" she pointed out.

That was where Finn came in, he stepped back, revealing a gigantic keg with an already installed pump. Both girls look at each other, how did they get hold of a keg ?. There was no way in hell that they had bought one, the legal drinking age in Lima, just like the rest of America, was 21.

"We'll be down in the basement if you need us, party starts at 5" Atticus called out, as he and Puck disapeared down the stairs into the basement.

Finn and Sam didn't follow the pair, instead they opted to stay with the girls. Finn sat down on the chair next to Quinn whilst Sam took the one next to Aerin. Quinn turned her attentions to Finn, "What are you doing here, shouldn't you be with RuPaul ?"

Finn rolled his eyes, "Don't call her that" he huffed. Aerin didn't understand who she was talking about, "Wait, what do you mean by RuPaul-" Aerin inquired.

"She's talking about Rachel," Finn answered back bluntley, cutting off the blonde.

Quinn folded her arms, she turned her head to look off to the side. Finn reclines back on his chair as he ran his hand through his hair.

Sam tried his best to break the tension by telling one of his infamous jokes, "Hey guys, what does a zombie vegetarian eat?" he chimed.

All three of then answered with a simple "What?"

Sam smiles as he clears his throat, "GRAINNSSSSS !" he hollered as he raised hands up to imitate a zombie.

Aerin let out a small laugh, mouthing a 'nice one' for moral support. Finn and Quinn looked at Sam with a slight scowl, they were not amused in the slightest.

Sam lowered his hands and stood up, tucking them into his pockets. "I-I, think I'm going to go help Puck and AC with the setup. I'll see you guys later," he mumbled as he briskly walked  down to the basement.

Aerin knew today was gonna be a day should would never forget. A bunch school kids and a kegger ?, what could possibly go wrong.
