After Deployment

"I'm really glad you guys stopped by." Mr. Schue said with a smile. "You need to come back and visit more."

Quinn nodded. "Coming back here just isn't the same."

"I know." Mr. Schue said with a sigh. "I can't believe it's been almost four years since Finn died."

"Yeah." Quinn said softly. "Yeah, Beth was only three when it happened, so she doesn't really remember Finn anymore."

Puck bit his lip. Talking about Finn was always an extremely sore subject for him, and Quinn hadn't even heard Puck say Finn's name since he died.

"I, uh, I'm gonna go see Coach Beiste." Puck decided. "I'll meet you back here, Q. It was good seeing you, Mr. Schue."

"You, too, Puck." Mr. Schue nodded as Puck walked away.

Quinn looked at Mr. Schue. "It was really good to see you, Mr. Schue. I wanna see Coach Sylvester and Finn's tree while we're here."

"Go." Mr. Schue said. "But come back and visit soon, okay?"

"We will." Quinn promised as she hugged her former teacher. "And send pictures of Danny once in a while."

"If I can get him to sit still long enough to take a photo, I'll send it." Mr. Schue promised as they parted.

Quinn laughed lightly. "See you, Mr. Schue."

"Bye, Quinn."

Quinn headed to her former cheer coach's office. The door was closed, so she knocked.

"Office hours are over!" Sue called. "I can only take so much whining in a day."

Quinn slowly opened the door and smiled at Sue. "Hey, Coach."

"Quinn Fabray!" Sue exclaimed. "Come in!"

Quinn entered the office and sat down across from Sue. "It's good to see you."

"You, too." Sue nodded. "What are you doing in Lima?"

"Noah and I came to visit." Quinn answered.

"Puckerman? You two are still together?" Sue questioned Quinn.

"For almost two years now." Quinn nodded.

"How's that?" Sue wondered.

"We're good." Quinn said. "I graduated last May and moved to New York to pursue acting, and Noah will finish up with the Air Force this summer, and we'll get engaged when he's home."

"Good." Sue said. "You've always seemed happy with him. Except, you know, when you were lying about the father of your unborn child."

Quinn smiled. "I'm really happy, Coach."

"I'm glad to hear it." Sue smiled proudly. "Truly. You've had to overcome so much."

"We all did." Quinn said with a shrug.

"Still." Sue said as her phone went off. She glanced at it before looking back at Quinn. "I hate to kick you out, but I have to take care of something."

"Sure." Quinn nodded as she got up. "It was really nice to see you, Coach."

"You, too, Quinn." Sue smiled as Quinn walked to the door. "Hey, kiddo. Don't be a stranger."

Quinn smiled at her former coach.

"Now get the hell out of my office."
