Never Forgotten Past

Last Time: Sarah went with Puck to go and babysit Beth despite what Quinn said. Sarah realized that she wanted a baby and for Puck to be the father in the future. Puck comforted Sarah when she began missing her own dad after seeing how Puck acted towards Beth. And that's what you missed on Never Forgotten Past.

Kurt's Point of View

I rolled over in my bed and was about to turn on my light when I realized something was different. There wasn't any snoring coming from the farthest corner of the room. The soft light of a reading lamp wasn't on. I couldn't hear the rustling of sheets or the turning of a magazine page.

I sat up and looked around the room. Both beds were empty of their usual inhabitants. I glanced at the clock, 7:30. Usually Finn and Sarah would stay in bed for another hour, at least.

I got out of bed and walked up the stairs. I could hear soft voices coming from the nearby bathroom.I paused outside the door and silently gagged as I heard someone full blown vomiting inside it.

I knocked lightly before pushing the door open and couldn't help but gasp at the sight. A pale, sweaty Sarah was leaning against the toilet coughing and silently crying. Carole was sitting next to her with a wet washcloth against the back of Sarah's neck. Finn was sitting cross legged against the cabinets holding a towel and water bottle. On the counters were four empty water bottles and two full ones. There was a pile of washcloths next to a half empty bag of peppermint candies. Finn's jacket, car keys, and wallet were also there.

"Sarah, oh my God," I whispered.

Finn grimaced at me before handing Sarah the towel and water bottle.

She gulped the water then spit it back into the toilet. Carole wiped her forehead with the towel.

"How long have you all been in here?" I asked.

"We've been up since three. I left around 4:30 to get water bottles and mints then came back 15 minutes later. Mom and I have been taking shifts every half hour," Finn answered.

"What time is it Kurt?" Carole asked.

"A little past 7:30."

Sarah whimpered. She looked so miserable and helpless.

"I have to start getting ready for work," Carole stood up and Finn took her place. I sat where Finn had just been.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

Half an hour and two throw-up incidents later, Carole popped her head back in the bathroom.

"I'm going to get going. Call if you need anything. Feel better baby," she said before leaving.

"I actually have a day planned with Rachel. I can try and cancel-" Finn was cut off by Sarah.

"Go, have fun. You've already been with me for five hours," Sarah's voice was scratchy and sounded worn out.

"I, um, well Blaine and I had planned on doing a breakfast thing then going shopping," I said softly.

Sarah looked hurt, "I can't keep you guys from the ones you love."

"I have an idea," I said and left the room.

I went down to our bedroom and grabbed my cell-phone. I quickly searched through my contacts before finding the one I needed.

"What do you want at eight in the morning Hummel?"

Puck's Point of View

I knocked on the front door and waited. I'll admit, when Kurt called me and told me to get to their house a.s.a.p. to take care of Sarah, I was scared out of my pants. Not just because my girlfriend was sick and needed help, but because she was throwing up. It was pretty violent too, according to her step-brother. I'm not that good with throw up, it grosses me out to no end.

Finn finally opened the door, "Thanks man, this really helps."

"No problem," I replied.

"She's, um, well in the bathroom, you know, throwing up and stuff," Finn scratched his head.

"Hello, Puck," Kurt said as he approached me, "Thanks for coming. Everything you should need is in the bathroom. Make sure she sleeps and/or eats when possible."

"She's my sister, let me tell him what to do," Finn muttered at Kurt.

"Is there something else?" I asked the two.

"No, I think Kurt said it all," Finn glared at Kurt as he spoke.

"Ok, well, I think I'll be good then," I said.

"Bye," Kurt walked out the door.

"See ya. Call if you need anything," Finn clapped me on the back before following out Kurt.

I made my way to the bathroom and steadied myself for the possible gross scene I might see. I slowly opened the door and sighed at the sight. Sarah was leaning over the toilet coughing. I made my way over to where she was and sat behind her. I held her hair back as she began to throw up in the toilet. She sat up and burst into tears as if she had just seen the devil.

"It's alright, just breathe," I whispered as I wiped Sarah's mouth with the towel.

Her hand reached towards the water bottle on the counter, but couldn't quite reach it, so I passed it to her.

She took a swig of the water and spat it in the toilet.

"Why are you here?" Sarah asked.

"To take care of you," I answered, "When I heard you were sick and needed someone to take care of you, I knew I had to be here."

She gave me a shaky smile. I wiped the remainder of her tears with my thumb.

"So, what do you need? Water? Towel? Washcloth? I think I saw some mints when I walked in here," I watched Sarah's face and quickly turned her around towards the toilet when I noticed she was going to throw up again.

She gagged and I rubbed her back. Suddenly I didn't feel that well either. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine I was somewhere else.

"Are you ok?" Sarah's voice made me open my eyes.

"Fine," I choked out.

"Why are you here when you hate when people get sick?" Sarah actually looked concerned for me.

I thought before answering her question, "Because I love you and if I plan on spending my life with you one day then I need to get passed my fears of this so it can happen."

Sarah hugged me and I smiled.

"Are you feeling up for tv? It's a little more roomy out on the couch," I told Sarah. The smell was sorta getting to me and I wanted to leave, but I wouldn't tell her that.

"Ok," I sighed in relief at her answer.

I stood up then put my hand out for Sarah. She took it and shakily stood up. I helped her walk to the couch. Despite only being around the corner, she was still exhausted by the time we got there. I laid Sarah down and wrapped the blanket around her.

"Do you want a water?" I asked Sarah.

"Could you make me some cinnamon toast and could I have a glass of orange juice?" Sarah asked.

"Of course," I smiled. I kissed her forehead then walked into the kitchen to get her food.

After the toast was done and I had poured the juice, I went back in the living room. I chuckled, Sarah was hanging off the couch and sleeping. I set down the food on the coffee table and moved towards Sarah. I adjusted her so she was in a more comfortable position before sitting myself down at the end of the couch and turning on the tv.

~~~~~GLEE~~~~~

I had watched an hour worth of tv by the time Sarah started moving.

"Puck?" her voice was groggy and scratchy. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and moved to sit up.

"I'm right here," I made my way to kneel in front of where her head was.

"How long have I been sleeping?"

"Just an hour, you can go back to sleep if you want. I'm not going anywhere."

"What happened to that food you were going to get me?"

I laughed and grabbed the plate and glass off the table, "Here you go."

She sat up and gratefully ate the toast and juice.

"Don't eat too fast, I don't want you to-"

Sarah jumped off the couch and ran into the bathroom. I followed after her and grabbed her hair just in time.

After a minute Sarah sat up, "I'm so sorry," she hiccuped.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked as I placed a wet washcloth on her forehead.

"For being the worst girlfriend ever, you shouldn't be here watching me puke my guts out," Sarah leaned back into me.

"Nah, I don't care, I get to spend time with you in your house without having to worry your parents or brothers will walk in on something," I was getting mushy, but I meant it.

Sarah turned around in my lap, "I really love you."

I smiled, "I love you too."

Sarah returned the smile before turning back around and sliding down so her head was resting on my thighs. She grabbed the blanket and pulled it around herself.

"Stay," Sarah said to me with a grin. She then adjusted herself until she was comfortable and closed her eyes.

Within seconds, Sarah was lightly snoring against my stomach.

I decided to close my own eyes and maybe get some rest. I'd feel if she got up, so it was ok for me to sleep a little. Kurt had woken me up at eight, which is two hours earlier than usual.

Carole's Point of View

I pulled up to the house after four hours at work. I was able to get off early when I said I had a family emergency.

I noticed Puck's truck in the driveway and smiled. At least Sarah wasn't alone.

When I opened the door I couldn't help but laugh at the sight on the couch. Sarah was sleeping on Puck's lap with a blanket around her and her boyfriend was turned slightly as if he wanted to get comfortable but didn't want to move her.

I moved towards the couch, picking up the spare blanket on the recliner as I walked. I wrapped the blanket carefully around Puck's shoulders and kissed his forehead, before doing the same to Sarah.

There was a plate and glass on the table that I picked up and placed in the dishwasher.

Sure I didn't fully agree with Puck and Sarah being together being the former's past, but I would support the two. Burt was right, Puck made Sarah happy, something she deserved. It had been so long since Sarah was fully happy and I loved seeing her this way. She was full of love and smiles again. Next time I had a moment alone with Puck, I'd have to remember to thank him.

A/N: This came to me and wouldn't go away until I wrote it all down. I hope you guys like it. Next two chapters deal with homecoming, which means...all the characters will be present! Looking forward to it and hope you all are too. Also, I have a proposition for you all. As much as I love coming up with different outfits for everyone to wear, I could really use some help. So if anyone has any ideas on what the homecoming dresses or suits should look like, please review with the character's name and what they would wear. It would really mean a lot to me. If you could do it as soon as possible, that would be even better. Alright, once again, I'm welcome to any questions, comments, and concerns so PLEASE REVIEW!

Sneak Peak: There were so many dresses, I thought I would faint. I could definitely make some magic happen with what was in here.

All of us stopped in the doorway. There were tuxes by the hundreds in here. It could take hours for us to find ones that matched the girls' dresses to their standards.

You can't go to homecoming without a dress, so that's what's next!
