A/N: Here you go! This chapter has the ONE thing I got the most reviews asking for, so I'd BETTER get a lot of happy reviews. PLEASE Review after reading…I'll love you forever!

RPOV:

I stepped out of the stage door, sighing inwardly as I pasted a bright smile on my face for the waiting fans. After I signed all the playbills and other items, I walked over to where my family and friends stood. Finn reached down to give me a hug and the rest gathered around talking excitedly. I heard a shout of my name from behind me and I turned quickly to wave goodbye at some of the other cast members. As I turned back around I caught sight of a familiar person, turning and walking away from the theater. I gasped.

"Noah Puckerman get back here you fucking asshole!" I screamed at him. All of the people around me gasped. He turned slowly, looking sheepish at being caught. I raised my eyebrows and he tentatively stepped back towards me.

"Hi." I slapped him in the face with all of the force I could. He recoiled slightly.

"Where on earth have you been? You have a lot of explaining to do Mister!" I was infuriated with him. Suddenly something broke inside me and I could feel tears threatening to fall. "Why Noah? I needed you. We needed you." I couldn't resist it, I threw myself into his arms and he caught me shakily.

"What's with the mood swings sweetheart?" He held me out at arm's length. "Are you pregnant?" He asked, peering into my face intently. I slapped him again, lighter this time.

"No, you idiot. I'm just, you're just." I looked at him seriously. "Ten years is a long time Noah."

"I know Rach. I'm truly so so sorry. I can try to explain but I don't think it will satisfy you, it doesn't even satisfy me." I sighed, seeing the pain in his eyes.

"We can talk about it later. Come with me." I pulled him over to where my family and friends stood. Finn just stared at him suspiciously but the rest mumbled greetings of various levels of affection. "I guess you need some introductions." He smiled wryly.

"Just a few. Hey Quinn." She slowly walked up to him, lifting her eyebrows before slapping him neatly.

"You're an idiot. But it's good to see you." He gently pulled her into a hug.

"Mike, Matt, Britt, Santana." The guys nodded at him in greeting. Brittany was looking at him confusedly. Santana whispered something in her ear, causing the blonde to launch herself at him for a hug. Santana just gave him a long appraising glance.

"Artie, Tina. Who's this little guy?" He asked, indicating their son who was hiding his face in Artie's neck.

"This is Jonathan. He's three. Johnny, say hi." Tina said gently tugging on his hand.

"Hi!" He squeaked, quickly turning back around to cling to his dad. Noah smiled.

"Kurt." He looked next to Kurt, eyes widening in shock. "Jesse St. James?" Kurt tucked a possessive arm around his boyfriend giving Noah a narrow look. Finn coughed lightly and Noah's face turned an odd shade of purple. "Um, ok." I couldn't hold in a giggle, he just looked so uncomfortable. He gave me a hurt look before continuing in his greetings.

"Mr. Schue, Mrs. Schue." Mr. Schuester smiled at him as his wife gave him a tight hug.

"Oh you haven't met Jennifer and Michael." She indicated their two kids who were standing there shyly. "Jenny's seven and Michael's five." He bent down slightly to say hello to them and they shyly echoed his greeting.

Before he could get any words out, Sarah grabbed him in a hug; Alex hit his shoulder lightly as his wife released her grip. Then Sarah looked at him critically before adding to the redness of his cheek.

"I guess I deserved that."

"You sure did. Now come meet Noah and Rebecca." Six year old Noah and twenty-nine year old Noah looked each other for a second before they both broke out in grins. Noah smiled as he looked over at Becca who was a four-year old miniature of her mother.

"Shelby." He nodded to her awkwardly. He'd never been fully comfortable in her presence which I guess wasn't surprising. She smiled back at him warmly.

"Mr. Berry."Noah stared down at his feet, avoiding Dad's eyes.

"How's your sister doing son?"

"Good. She's studying pre-med at Case. She wants to be a pediatrician." I smiled at the mention of Hannah.

"I'm glad. And I'm glad you're here Noah." Dad pulled him in for a hug and I heard him whisper, "Don't you go and break her heart again."

"Finn." Noah tentatively looked up at my husband who was glaring at him darkly. I grabbed Noah's hand, drawing his attention to me.

"This is Sean, Sean this is a friend of Mommy and Daddy's."

"Hey Sean. How old are you buddy?"

"I'm five." He said proudly. "Do you like dinosaurs?"

"I love dinosaurs."

"This is Annie and Rosie. They're two." He smiled at the girls in their stroller, waving his hand at them. "And,"

"Little Miss Eliza." He said, slowly, staring at her, motionless.

"Actually, I go by Noelle, and Hudson not Berry. I'm going to be a star and I need to have a name that's completely my own. Mama got Eliza from a musical so it already has a meaning and reference behind it. And she still uses Berry for her shows. I need to have my own name to be known for. Mama and Daddy let me add the Hudson when I was seven, but they won't let me legally change my name to Noelle." She made a pouting face.

"Whoa!" Noah looked slightly taken aback.

"It surprises everyone." She explained lightly. "Uncle Kurt asked Mama if she was sure that I wasn't her clone the first time I told him." Kurt laughed at the memory. Noah still looked shocked, I knew she's probably been firmly placed in his mind as a little baby and seeing that she had actually grown up was probably pretty shaking.

"I'm almost inclined to ask that myself." He told her, sneaking a sideways glance at me. Finn made a rude noise behind me and I shot him a warning look.

"And this is Beth, of course." He said softly. She smiled back at him sweetly. Noelle was jabbering away to her almost immediately after he finished talking. He looked back at me.

"Are you positive?" I laughed at the shell-shocked expression on his face.

"100 percent." He nodded, laughing.

"I guess so." He glanced over at Finn whose glare had intensified, if looks could kill, Noah would be dead.

"Can we get out of here? It's starting to rain." Finn said sharply.

"Sure. Are we still?"

"YES! I'm ready for the night out! I know this great new place with karaoke!" Kurt said excitedly.

"Okay." I laughed at his excitement. I turned to Noah. "Come?"

"If it's ok." He said tentatively. Except for Finn, everyone quickly told him that he was definitely welcome.

"Okay, little people come with me then." Shelby said laughing slightly. "You guys know the drill." All of the kids tumbled slowly toward Shelby and Miss P, Emma. I still had to remind myself to call her that.

"I'm going to join them." Dad said, grabbing the twins' stroller.

"Mr. Schue? You going with them or us?"

"Will, Finn, and if I'm allowed I think I'll tag along with you guys."

"Okay then…Will."

"Let's go kiddos." Shelby gathered them all, grabbing hands. Suddenly she noticed two were missing. "Girls."

"Mama, couldn't we pretty pretty please come with you?" I turned to see Noelle and Beth standing there with identical puppy dog eyes. I felt a sudden jerk beside me as their biological father took in the matching expressions. "We'll be very good. Aren't we old enough to stay out later?" I sighed and looked over at Shelby.

"It's okay with me if it's okay with you. I trust her with you guys."

"Ask your father Noelle, he probably won't be okay with this plan." She turned and ran over to Finn; I could literally see him melting to her request. Finn couldn't deny her anything, but if I'd given her the go ahead he would probably have been furious, especially with the mood he was in.

"He said yes Mama!" She bounced back over. "Daddy said that as long as I'm a good girl and listen to you, I can come!" I laughed lightly.

"Let's go then! Kurt, where are we going?" He led us off, bouncing almost as much as Noelle who was running between Kurt, Finn and I.

I was walking in the back with Noah. He'd grabbed onto my arm as we walked and it pained me to see how slow and difficult his steps were.

"Stop worrying Rach. I'm perfectly fine." He muttered, obviously having notice the looks I was giving him.

"Why are you guys walking so slow?" Noelle bounced back.

"Because we want to." I told her, tugging on her dark braid. She put her hands on her hips.

"I want a real answer!" Noah laughed, after muttering something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like 'clone', he answered her easily.

"Well sweetie, a long time ago, I had an accident playing football. So I don't walk too good, but they said it was a miracle that I could walk at all. Your mom's being nice and walking with me."

"Call it returning a favor." I said, remembering an even longer time ago when he had supported me.

"Oh. Does it hurt? Cause Mama hurts her ankle sometimes and she says it hurts too much to walk. Daddy usually carries her around though."

"No it doesn't hurt. Not anymore."

"Oh. Okay." She skipped off to Finn.

"She's a bundle of energy." He commented to me. "What was that about your ankle, it isn't still because of…?" He trailed off, unsure of how to finish.

"Yes, it's weaker than it should be I guess. But it's mostly because of how dance intensive the shows I've done have been." I sighed, leaning into his shoulder as we waited at a crosswalk. "I've missed you Noah."

"I missed you too Rach. Every single day."

A/N: I'm not sure how I like the end of this, but I had to cut it off somewhere. He's Back!

I missed writing Noah in the like three days since Chapter 17 of MBFG, wow. I love him : )

Clarification if you need it, of families: Artie+Tina=Johnny age 3, Mr. Schue+Emma= Jenny age 7+ Michael age 5, Alex+ Sarah= Noah age 6+ Becca age 4, Rachel+Finn= Sean age 5+ Rosie and Annie 2 year-old twins, then of course Eliza Noelle 10. And then you have Beth age 13. She doesn't know Quinn is actually he biological mom but she knows she's adopted and Quinn has a large role in her life. If you were wondering, Noelle has ZERO clue that Finn isn't actually her father. Oh and yes Kurt is dating Jesse. I don't know why but they are the one crack pairing that I just REALLY love!
