Oh my goodness. Thank you all so much for all of the alerts and reviews. I was so happy when I checked my email and it was full. I'm happy that people are liking this. This chapter isnt as long but i hope its still good.


The doctor came in with some cards with letters or numbers hidden inside different shades of different colors. Each one he held up had Rachel shaking her head. She couldn't see any of it. With every card came another tear and Puck squeezed her hand again. Finally the doctor put the cards away and pulled out her chart.

"We'll do another MRI but this could just be temporary due to the fall." Puck hoped that that was all this was. Temporary. "This colorblindness could last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. We will find something on the MRI if this is more serious than that. We will be keeping you here for at least one more night regardless." The doctor turned and said a couple things to her dads before leaving the room.

"It will all be okay Rach." She nodded before squeezing her eyes shut and lying back on the pillow.

"As long as I can sing." She said and all three men smiled.

"You two must be exhausted." Puck said after Howard and Lawrence both yawned. "If you want I will sit with her so you guys can go change and stuff." Lawrence turned to his husband before turning back to Puck. "I will call you immediately if anything changes or if the doctor figures anything out."

"Thank you Noah. You are a great friend to our daughter and we are glad you are in her life." Puck smiled at Lawrence's words.

"I could use a change of clothes." Howard said.

"I'll be fine." Rachel said with a smile. "It would be great if you could grab my cell phone, iPod, hairbrush and toothbrush from the house."

"Okay. We will be back in a bit then." The two men both gave her a kiss on the forehead before leaving.

"I'm so happy you're awake." Puck said after a bit. "You had me really worried."

"Does everyone know?" She asked.

"I didn't want to tell them unless things changed." Puck said squeezing her hand again.

"Good. I don't want them to know. Not yet at least. Not until we figure…" She gestured towards her eyes. "…this out."

"Are you going to be okay Rachel?" Puck knew she knew that he meant emotionally not physically.

"Sure. Like I said, as long as I can sing." She smiled at him but he could see that she was nervous. Anyone would be in this situation. "Mark Twain." She said after a few moments of silence. Puck raised an eyebrow. "Mark Twain was colorblind."

"Why do you know this?" Puck asked.

"Because I'm me." Rachel said with a smile. He loved how she didn't feel the need to give him long drawn out explanations. She was comfortable enough around him to just give a short and sweet answer.

"Meatloaf." Puck said after a bit. She raised an eyebrow at him this time. "Michael Lee Aday."

"I know who he is. What does he have to do with anything?" Rachel asked. She shifted in her bed and sat up slightly to take a sip of water.

"He was colorblind." Puck gave her a smile. She smiled back before they fell into a comfortable silence. After sitting for a while Puck got up and stretched his legs. Rachel handed him her cup and had him fetching her some more water. While he was out of her room he turned his phone back on. He had shut it off before he even got to the hospital. He had four new messages. Two from Finn, one from Sam and one from his mom.

hey is everything okay?

-Finn

Everything is fine now.

where are you?

-Finn

Puck thought about it r a bit. He wasn't going to tell anyone if Rachel didn't want him to. So instead of replying to Finn he went to the next message.

hey man we haven't seen you since class. is everythin ok?

SAM

Puck figured when Sam said 'we' he meant Quinn and him. Sam meant well but no matter what he was always going to be the guy with Puck's baby mama. He knew he had no right to be mad but to this day there were still some mixed emotions held on that. Rachel had talked to him about it though. She never pushed him but when he finally told her how he felt she let him get it out.

I heard about Rachel. Tell her hello for me and let me know if anything changes. Should I expect you home tonight?

He smiled and sent a quick text back to his mom. If Rachel would let him he would stay with her all night. He didn't mind. Puck liked that his mom could be there for Rachel when she needed it. She treated her like a daughter and even though Rachel has two amazing fathers she needs a mother figure in her life. His mom tried to provide that for her. He turned his phone on silent and shoved it back into his pocket before going back into Rachel's room. She gave him a small smile but he could tell that she was in pain.

"What can I do?" He asked. She took a sip of her water before gently laying back down against the pillow.

"Just be here." She said after a bit. "…and maybe…will you sing to me?" Puck smiled at her. If she was feeling better he would have asked her to sing with him. But she didn't so he was content with singing to her.

"Of course babe." He said sweetly. Lately his badass factor was running low but he didn't need to be that person with Rachel so he didn't care. He felt around in his pockets, finding his iPod touch. He pulled it out and pulled the headphones out so that they could both hear the soft sound of the song in the background while he sang. He went through it for a bit before finding a good song.

Is this the end of the moment
Or just a beautiful unfolding
Of a love that will never be?
Or maybe be
Everything that I never thought could happen
Or ever come to pass and
I wonder
If maybe
Maybe I could be
All you ever dreamed, cause you are

Beautiful inside
So lovely and I
Can't see why I'd do anything without you, you are
And when I'm not with you
I know that it's true
That I'd rather be anywhere but here without you

He smiled at her as he sang and she smiled back. This was a favorite song of both of them. After he finished singing he shut his iPod off and put it away.

"Will you stay with me here tonight?" Rachel asked after a bit. He took her hand and gave it a quick squeeze.

"I'll stay as long as you want." He said and she smiled.

"Thank you Noah."


So? What did you think? Was it a good second chapter? please let me know.

I have gotten a lot of camments about a Puckleberry romance and so I am letting that Idea float around for a bit before making a final decision but I am leaning towards it.

Thankyou so so so much for reading.

The song is Anywhere But Here by Safetysuit. It was the song I was listening to while writing this so i figured it would be pretty good to put there.
