Protecting The Innocent
Chapter 2: Junior's First Crush
Noah was being a spotter for Liza Marie as she used his weight bench when Junior walked in and said, "Liza, is strong, Dada!" Kurt soon comes into the room and says to Junior, "I think someone likes Liza," before Junior blushes and runs out of the room. Noah chuckles at this and says, "It's not her that he likes, Kurt. Haven't you noticed how Junior acts when you're around? Since you moved in, Junior has been staring at you the same way you would stare at Finn. Even Liza Marie and Blaine noticed it. Quinn, on the other hand, refuses to believe it." Then Noah puts his weights back as Liza Marie says, "I heard Junior fight with Papa earlier when he said, "Kurty Pretty, love Kurty." Ha, I think Queenie just doesn't want Uncle Puck to be like Grandpa Burt was before he met Nana Carole." Soon they hear Quinn and Blaine yelling at each other before Blaine screams, "Oh, God, Quinn, I'm sorry! Puck, Quinn is having a heart attack!" As Blaine dials 911, Noah rushes into the room, followed by Kurt and Liza Marie.
When Quinn woke up, she saw Kurt and started crying. She kept trying to speak, but all that Kurt heard was severely slurred speech. Then, Kurt goes to get a doctor, and Quinn finds out she had a stroke. Noah was soon yelling, "I'm not your dad, Kurt! I'm not losing Quinn. Do you hear me? I may have a son like you, but I'm not like your dad! I'm not giving up on Quinn!" Soon, Noah was walking up to her as Burt and Carole had their arms around him. Then she looked at Burt as she took Noah's hand and said, "I'm not going. I'm, not her! Nono, hear me? Son, like Kurt! Who cares, Nono? You are, Burt! I'm staying, okay? Watching like a hawk! Carole will help! Tana will help! Burt, talk alone." Burt had to pry Noah's hand from Quinn's hand as Noah started to sob.
Then Quinn says, "Kurt, tell me, you retired. Bought, shop, back. Give, Nono, job, okay. He, has, guns, you, claimed. Plus, more, Burt. Don't, borrow, when, Liza, teenager!" Then Blaine comes up to them and says, "Does that go for me too, Quinn? Kurt took Junior and Liza Marie home, and Puck went with them. He wanted me to stay so Burt doesn't end up in the bed next to you. By the way, my parents met yours. Let's just say, according to my mom your mom is planning to ruin Puck's life more." Quinn gives her phone to Burt as she squeezes his hand.
Burt was about to call Judy, when they heard Noah yell, "You are not taking my son from me and I'm not signing this!" Then there was a pause before Noah yelled, "Kurt being my friend didn't confuse Junior, and he is not being sent to hell! I'm not signing shit! Quinn is still my wife, and Junior is my son! I'm not handing him over to you, and what makes you think Quinn will come with you? I'm not signing those divorce papers, and I don't care about some court order! That's my family, and I'm not giving them up! Now you can take that paper and shove it up your ass!" Then Russell screams, "My nose!" Before, Noah walks up to Quinn's bed and lowers the rail.
He soon lay down beside her as Burt left. Then Burt is heard yelling, "You have no right to come in here and try to take Puck's family from him! You know, my in-laws were just like you and I almost lost Kurt. Puck may not be my son, but I will tell you the same thing I told you when Quinn was pregnant with Beth. He is still my son, and that is his family! Puck is not that guy anymore and doesn't deserve this! I accept Junior and will fight for him the same way I fought Kurt!" Quinn looks at Blaine and says, "Nono, I'm glad you're straight! Don't tell Kurt about that. I don't need him there." Then she points to the bed next to her before they all start to laugh.
When Quinn was put in a hospital room, Burt comes to see her and says, "Blaine is playing referee with Puck and Kurt. Let's just say, Kurt, pissed both me and Puck off by saying something he shouldn't have about you." Then Quinn screams, "I'm not her! Call Kurt, now!" Burt calls Kurt, and they hear his cell phone go off before he enters Quinn's hospital room. Quinn throws a vase of roses at Kurt before screaming, "I'm not your mom!" Her speech was a tad better, but she still had a rasp in her voice.
As Noah walks in with Junior in his arms, Quinn says, "Kurt, Junior is just four. He doesn't need you to scare him. I'm not dead yet, Kurt! It's bad enough that I'm here! This was my real fear, Kurt! I didn't want this, Kurt! Yeah, Junior is gay. Yeah, Nono is Burt. But take a look at me, Kurt! I can't walk anymore! Look at my right hand! I can't move it, Kurt. I just peed myself, Kurt! You know what? Go! Get out of here! Nono, take Junior out! I just want Burt here!" Noah chuckles and whispers to Burt, "Elizabeth's diary was in that box of Finn's things. Ha, Blaine is the only other person that knows, and he is really glad Kurt hasn't found it yet. I'll be back when she's asleep." Then Junior says, "Mama's acting like Tana. She needs a nap!" Kurt and Noah tried to stifle their laughter as they left.
Quinn looks out the window as she says to Burt, "I wish Z had killed me now. I didn't tell Nono this. I'm pregnant again, Burt. I was told to abort it." Then she shows Burt some pills on her tray table before saying, "I know about the diary. So does my mom. She won't back down. Keep fighting for us. She hired Z, Burt! Do you understand me?" Burt hears Judy yell, "Russell, she's lying! She doesn't know what she is saying!" Then Russell yells, "No, she's not! He was planning to kill Quinn because you didn't pay him! If the cops hadn't tricked him into thinking Burt was at the hospital the whole time! She would be dead right now! I'm done! I want a divorce!" Russell soon walks in with Norah and Sarah Puckerman. Norah hugs Quinn and says, "I'll be right back, Quinn."
As soon as Norah walks out of the room, she yells, "Junior is my grandson too, Judy, and I accept him! I regret telling Puck to give up Beth every day! Now you want to take Junior from him? You know what, I'm done being your friend, and if you try to take my grandson again, you will be the one regretting it. Now, go!" Then Norah walks back, holding Liza Marie before Kurt is heard yelling, "Do you know how scared Quinn is right now? She is afraid to leave Puck to be a single father to a child like me! She has seen every bruise I ever got growing up and helped me cover up half of them. Liza Marie was close to being your granddaughter and she is being bullied for having two dads! Puck is her best friend, and she is his. Puck is not known for expressing his feelings. Yet, he has talked to my daughter since that night, when she ended up in a coma! She is the only person he will open up to more, and he hardly talks to anyone else about his true feelings. Because he knows she won't tell him things he doesn't want to hear." Soon, Kurt walks in, followed by Noah, who picks up Liza Marie before falling to his knees, sobbing as he says, "I'm not Mr. H!" repeatedly.
