Tom talks with Burt Hummel for a few minutes, the father is clearly upset, but after hearing all the events of the afternoon he starts to understand Kurt's refusal to leave Noah's side.

Burt knows that his son has had problems with Puckerman kid before, but he also knows his son has a heart that is big enough to forgive anyone. He finally gives into Kurt's demands of staying until Noah is cleared by the doctors.

Tom lets him know that he will bring him home so Burt can get some rest. Burt thanks him and tells Kurt to call him when they know anything.

Kurt hugs his father and thanks him for his compassion.

Kurt notices two police officers arrive as he father is leaving to go home. They walk over to Tom and hand him more papers and he has this strange shocked expression on his face.

Mrs. Cantrell and Rebecca are walking down the hall as the officers are leaving and they wave at Mrs. Cantrell and point at Tom. Mrs. Cantrell asks Rebecca to go and sit with Kurt.

She pulls Tom to the side of the waiting room out of earshot.

"How could you take Rebecca out of the home too?", Tom asks in an exasperated tone to Mrs. Cantrell, "And more importantly, how could you place her in my care without talking to me first?"

"I don't want to separate them, Noah is in for a rough time and so is Rebecca. They are going to need each other and if you take out the only source for Ruth's rage, then you are putting Rebecca in danger," her voice is full of determination as she continues, "I talked with Judge Harrington just before we came back out here and he agrees with my assessment of the situation. It is the best thing for both siblings. Ruth is going to have to go through several programs before they are even allowed visitations with each other."

"But Miriam, I don't know anything about taking care of young people. I don't know if my house is going to be big enough for all of us. I had a brother growing up, not a sister and I am not sure if I am the best choice for Rebecca." Tom's voice has become a pleading whisper.

"Tom it is too late to question whether or not you can handle this situation. If you need any help call me or call your girlfriend for help with Rebecca. I talked with Rebecca about living with you and she is okay with it. She knows that Noah needs her right now and that her mother needs professional help. And Noah needs you right now too, he needs someone that doesn't want something from him or that wants to hurt him." The tone of her voice leaves no argument. She tells Tom goodnight and to call her if he needs anything.

Tom looks over at the kids huddled together, one that goes home with him and one that he feels is going to be a permanent fixture at his home too. At least Noah has three people that are on his side now, that is a start for him.

Tom is walking towards Kurt and Rebecca when he hears the doctor call his name and a shiver glides down his spine. He turns to the doctor and waits for him.

"I have good and bad news for you Mr. Watson. We examined Noah and found no signs of rape. But I would like you to consider the fact that there are other forms of rape other than physical, such as psychological." The doctor's voice is low and he continues, "The threat of rape is almost as devastating as the actual act. I am recommending that he see a counselor, someone that is not a threat to him. I have put all the information in his chart with my recommendations. I am going to keep him over night like we discussed for observation. He should be able to go home tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you for all your help. When will we be able to see him?", Tom breaths a tentative sigh at the information but he knows the road is going to be long and hard for Noah's recovery.

"They are setting up his room now so it shouldn't be but a few more minutes. Please try to let him rest and when you approach him don't make any sudden or threatening gestures towards him, you could cause another panic attack. Always identify yourself and let him hear you when you approach him." The doctor knows this information is important for Noah's sake.

Tom thinks on what the doctor just told him and remembers what Kurt said earlier about the teacher that Noah attacked in school today. Kurt told him he didn't think Noah heard him, just felt him touch him, that explains a lot to Tom.

He walks over to Kurt and Rebecca, he is trying to think of a way to explain things without actually letting them know what is really going on with Noah.

He pauses to pull his phone out of his pocket and dials a number with the small hope that maybe she will answer.

The other kids of Glee will be in this story. Trust me Kurt isn't don't with any of them where Puck/Noah is concerned. And the story does get lighter, like Tom said, Noah has a long road ahead of him…He will soon find out he has more than three friends tho….So please be patient and let me know what you think…Thanks Jenn
