Chapter 1 - Where it began.

When most parents get divorced and there are children to consider among the chaos usually shared or joint physical custody of the children is declared by the court.

However that was not the case on December 20th 1995.

Silence hung in the court room as everyone waited to hear the judges verdict. A man dressed in a US military uniform stood with his right hand gently holding onto his sons shoulder as he looked down at the smaller version of himself.

His son looked exactly like him down to the very last detail. He had not received even the slightest characteristic from his mother but all in all that was probably a good thing. Not because his mother did not love the boy but for the pure fact that even now from where she stood across the court room waiting impatiently for the judges decision she still wasn't attempting to fight for her son.

That was why he stood where he stood next to his father.

The older man looked back up at the judge as the judge met his gaze finally after having gazed upon his now ex-wife for the past few moments.

"I have come to my decision" The judge said finally looking down at the papers in front of him "I hereby declare soul custody of one Noah Isaac Puckerman to General Isaac Puckerman"

As those words rolled out of the judges mouth Isaac couldn't help but smile gently squeezing his sons shoulder who looked up at him with a slight pained expression but a large smile gracing his five year old lips none the less.

"However I declare soul custody of Miss Moore's unborn child to Daniella Moore. Court dismissed" The judge said as he struck his gavel down ending the court hearing.

Isaac looked up at his ex-wife as she turned from where she had been standing with a hand on her swollen stomach as she picked up her handbag not even sparing either himself or their son a second glance as she headed towards the court room doors and his hate for the woman he once loved grew stronger by the second as she didn't even say goodbye to her son.

Even though he was slightly mournful that he would probably never meet his second child he was content with the fact that he now had his son and he would never have to see that retched woman again.

Sure there had been a point in time where they had been in love where he would have done everything and anything for her but almost a year ago she had turned cold, angry towards not only him but their son Noah and soon after that the love disappeared and was replaced with hate.

But by that time she had already been pregnant with their second child and there was little that they could do about that as abortion was simply not an option.

It tore at his heart that he would never meet his second child but he had excepted it none the less.

"Daddy?" Noah asked tugging at his sleeve which caused him to look down at his son

"Yeah mate?" He asked forcing a smile onto his lips

"Can we go home now?" Noah asked as he turned to glance at the court room doors where his mother just disappeared through. Because even at the age of five he knew that it would probably be the last time he saw her.

"Sure mate lets go" He said reaching down to take his sons hand as he led him out of the court room.


Author Note: As some of you may have already guessed from the description of this story and from this chapter Noah Puckerman is in the military/army. I'm just letting you all know now before you start going off at me because I have got references/ranks or whatever wrong about the US army then I am SORRY! I am from Australia and I am trying to research references before they get added to this fanfic but I can not promise that I will get them all right or any of them right for that matter. So this is me apologising in advance for any mistakes!
