Puck's Little Sister Disasters
A series of unrelated one-shots about people from Glee meeting Puck's little sister and having to re-think what they know about the jock. Puck's sister will be consistently named Sarah but other than that timelines, ages, and back-stories change for each story.
Story 7: At the Daycare
"Everyone, this week I'd like to invite you to come with me to sing for the children at the daycare center where my dads used to send me." Rachel smiled broadly at the rest of New Directions.
"Um, why would we want to sing to a bunch of little children?" Asked Santana.
"Because children are nice and sweet and it will be a relaxing break from all that hard work we're doing for Nationals that will leave us refreshed and invigorated and ready to crush the competition," Rachel explained.
"So, in other words you probably bumped into one of the daycare workers who took care of you and you want to show off how much you think you've grown," Santana interpreted.
"Guys, Santana, stop it. Rachel's idea is very thoughtful and I think we should do it," Mr. Schuester interrupted. "The daycare is a short walk from here so I'd like everyone to meet me in the parking lot after school tomorrow. We'll only take an hour or so to sing to them so you'll still have the rest of your afternoons to yourselves."
"Mr. Schue I've got a thing," Puck called out. "It's like a commitment."
"Are you sure you can't postpone it an hour?"
"No. Every Tuesday and Thursday from when school gets out till five I'm busy with shit more important than this." Puck leaned back in his chair smirking, "deal with it."
"Fine, does anyone have any objections to doing it today instead," the teacher offered. After a chorus of negative responses, most of them reluctant, they agreed to meet up after school to walk to the daycare.
That afternoon the New Directions met in the parking lot around ten minutes after school officially let out. Since they had a teacher with them they didn't receive too much heckling aside from some rude comments. Once everyone was there, Puck being the last to arrive, they started walking with Rachel leading them to her old daycare.
"Uh, can you tell Sarah I'll be late?" Kurt and Mercedes heard Puck say from behind them. Turning their heads they saw he was trailing behind the club talking on his phone.
"It's a Glee thing, we decided to do a last minute performance today after school. I'd love to be there right now but I can't, tell her I'll take her out to dinner wherever she wants tonight." There was a pause as the person on the other end of the call said something and then Puck continued. "Yeah, I know. Well tell her I'm sending hugs and kisses with my love. Yes, of course, she knows when I'm teasing. Thanks, bye."
The two eavesdroppers quickly sped up their walking as Puck hung up and slid his cell back into his backpack. By the time he looked up they were even with the group and he was around five feet behind everyone. He jogged forward to catch-up with the club and Mercedes and Kurt exchanged a look.
"Taking a new beau out to dinner?" Kurt asked.
"Uh, what?" Puck looked at him, severely confused.
"Well, he was sending her love with both hugs and kisses," commented Mercedes.
"Then she must be special," Kurt replied.
"Oh, Sarah? Yeah totally, she's pretty much the most important person in the world for me," Puck said, glad that he finally understood what they were saying. Why was Kurt talking about wearing a bow or whatever to dinner anyways?
"So, when did you meet her?" Kurt asked, excited Puck was answering their questions.
"Um, a little over four years ago, at the hospital," Puck was looking at him like he was speaking French again or something. That meant he'd known Sarah since they were in middle school, maybe she could tell them what Puck was like before he became head bully at the high school.
"Oh, were you hurt or something?" Mercedes asked him politely.
"No," he said slowly, looking at them like they were crazy. "I wasn't gonna sit around at home while my little sister was being born. I wasn't that much of a douche when I was thirteen, I'm not even that bad now."
Frowning and grumbling about people who were too judgmental the self-proclaimed badass stud abruptly stepped past them to start a conversation about a recent football practice with Mike and Sam. Kurt and Mercedes were left to wonder about the mysterious Sarah and Puck's newly revealed younger sister for the rest of the walk.
A short while later they arrived at the center and Rachel started ushering them all toward the door with a huge smile covering her face. Puck started to say something when he saw where they had stopped but he just sighed and gave-up when it looked like no one was paying attention to anything other than what songs they were planning on singing. He slouched down behind the group. The woman who opened the door looked like she was around forty years old and had a kind friendly face. When she saw Rachel her welcoming expression only faltered momentarily.
"Oh, hello again Rachel. What on earth are you doing here, I know none of the kids are yours," she asked eyeing the crowd behind the girl warily.
"Well, after coming across you at the store yesterday I realized that it was never too early to encourage musical growth and I brought the rest of the glee club I'm in to perform for the children," Rachel explained in her loud cheerful voice, the creepy one where she spoke with a nonstop smile on.
"I don't think-" as she scanned the assorted faces of the glee club she finally caught sight of Puck and her face lit up again. "Noah! I wasn't expecting you yet, please, you and your friends come right in." She waved them in excitedly.
"Another MILF of yours?" Finn asked quietly and with a bitter edge. Puck just made a face back as the woman ushered him to the front of the group and into a classroom full of children with a younger lady, who looked to be in her twenties, watching them.
"Everyone, look who's here," called the lady who'd met the club at the door as she led Puck into the room.
"Noah!" A chorus of voices yelled as all the little three and four year olds ran up to hug Puck. He knelt down and hugged them back easily as if he was used to being suddenly mauled by large groups of small children.
"Sing, sing," yelled a small girl with blond pigtails.
"No! Read a story first," shouted a boy with dark brown hair and a smudge of dirt on his cheek. Before the two small combatants could turn on each other Puck pulled them apart and held one on each side of him as he spoke.
"I'm sure I can do both before I go, but first the kids in glee club with me came to sing to you. You wouldn't want to waste their time with me reading stories would you? Annie will get her songs and I promise you'll get at least one story from me before I leave John," he addressed the children gathered around him and they all turned to look at the New Directions members standing stunned just inside the door.
"Are they any good?" The girl Puck called Annie asked him skeptically.
"Sure, we're one of the best groups in the country," he told her.
"But can they sing any of the fun songs like you?" She asked.
"Yeah! Like 'The Wheels on the Bus,'" called out a cute African American girl with hundreds of little braids covering her head.
"Or the bumblebee song," another girl added.
"Old McDonald Had a Farm!" John yelled only a little quieter than before, he didn't seem to have an inside voice.
"You said you were gonna be late today, you lied," a girl with wavy brown hair accused.
"Yeah, you made Sarah sad," a little boy with glasses said as all the kids turned to glare at Puck. He glanced at the twenty something daycare worker who offered him a sheepish shrug and a small nod of agreement.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't know I was coming here. It's a surprise for all of us," he explained as he hugged the last of them and stood back up. Turning to the Glee club he raised an eyebrow at their stunned expressions; none of them could get over the fact that Puck was standing comfortably surrounded by little people who all knew him by name.
"Are they going to sing or just stand there," Annie demanded.
"You should start 'The Wheels on the Bus' song to show them how to do it," the girl who'd first asked for it requested her song again. Puck stood there debating for a moment before shrugging and sitting down cross-legged on the rug.
"Alright, circle up," he told them and they scrambled to sit like him in a big circle. Once they were seated with their hands on their knees he started singing with the children joining in with the hand motions and some of the words. "Ready set, the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town."
Puck and the class made it through the wheels, driver, and window wipers verses before any of the New Directions members could recover enough to join in (the driver says 'move on back,' the wipers go 'swish, swish, swish' and the baby cries 'wah, wah, wah' all with accompanying hand motions). Eventually Brittany dragged Santana over to join the circle and finish the song.
"Okay, how about giving the rest of the Glee club a chance to sing something," Puck offered when the kids started clamoring for another song. When the rest of the high schoolers just stared at him, their song ideas forgotten, he rolled his eyes. "Come on, it's not that hard, 'Old McDonald Had a Farm,' the Baby Bumblebee song, 'Mary Had a Little Lamb,' there's hundreds of fun kid songs and can't you remember how to sing even one."
"I bet they don't even watch Sesame Street," Annie claimed in a superior voice.
"Hey now, Big Bird isn't all that interesting to people my age. There's no need to get rude about it," Puck chastised her. "I'm sure they're still just shocked that you guys know me."
"But you're the helper here every Tuesday and Thursday after your school, why wouldn't we know you?" The boy with glasses asked innocently.
"Well they didn't know that until you told them," Puck said slightly exasperated. "Look guys, if you can't get over it could you just leave or something because after a couple songs and a story I'm taking Sarah out for dinner wherever she wants and-"
"I want pancakes," yelled the little girl with wavy brown hair who'd called Puck a liar earlier.
"And her favorite pancake place closes at five-thirty," he finished after her outburst.
"Wait, what? That's Sarah?" Mercedes asked; confused by the assumptions she and Kurt had made earlier when they eavesdropped on Puck's phone conversation.
"Yeah, I'm Noah's little sister, and I'm his favorite person in the whole world," she proudly proclaimed.
AN: So I joined the Peace Corps like back in 2010 and have had very spotty Internet since then, I never seem to have a flash drive with my stories (mostly GWA which is actually done) on it when I visit a town or city with Internet, so I'm just posting as I can. Also because of this I've only seen the first half of the second year of Glee, anything that happens after that may or may not be included in any of my fics because I may have started writing it before an episode came out or before I heard of it.
