Chapter 1: Helping Puck

Tracy Anderson visited her Uncle Noah Puckerman during his physical therapy at the hospital. Burt, her grandfather, had brought her there for a week. She watched him crawl across the floor. She then saw other men laughing at him.

Then she stormed over to the men, yelling, "What are you laughing at?! My uncle was hurt just like you and doesn't deserve your bullying! Now, go away, bullies!" Then she kneeled in front of Noah, telling him, "You can do it, Nono. I'll help you. Do what I do."

Burt streams Tracy and Noah as they crawl on the floor on Facebook. Norah, Noah's mother, comes up beside Noah and says, "He has made more progress since she started visiting him here than when he first came here." Noah soon says, "Thanks, tree see." And as he hugs her, she says, "I love you."

The next day, Noah tried eating with a spoon, and it was not going well, despite Tracy's help. Noah starts crying, so Tracy presses her forehead against his, and they each roar. Noah then tries again and does better, but still has difficulty.

When Tracie came back to see Noah, he tries to walk as he uses parallel bars. After about ten steps, his knees buckled. Despite Norah and his physical therapist's efforts, he refuses to try again.

Then Tracy whistled and yelled, "Again, soldier! You can do this! Come on! " Then she stood at the other end of the bars and yelled, "Don't give up! Keep going! Don't give up!"

Noah tried again, and when he gets to the other end, Norah says to Burt, "You two are the only ones that have come to see him for the past two weeks, and he finally told me about what happened overseas. His unit was ambushed, and he was the last one caught after killing over a thousand men. General Young told me the day they found him. He was naked, chained between two pillars, and like Samson, he flexed his muscles, bringing the place down."

As they watch Noah and Tracy play, Burt asks, "Does he know about Kurt and Blaine? Or that the reason Tracy came to see him was that they made him her godfather?"

Norah frowns and says, "Rachel told him on his first day here, and I think that's why he is trying to do better here. I think he wants to get better for her. " Norah then sighs and says, "Quinn and Beth cut off all contact with him when Tracy was born, and Blaine was the only one still talking to him. After, Patrick became friends with General Young. Shelby told me that Rachel stopped talking to Kurt and Blaine after she found out that Puck was Tracy's only godparent."

Burt was shocked at this, but chuckled and said, "Did you ever hear stories about me?" Norah hits him and shows Burt a picture. That was on her phone of over fifty guns in a gun closet. Then she says, "I found the key under a cap like the one you're wearing, and he has two flannel shirts with the sleeves cut off."

She chuckles and says, "I think that's why Kurt stopped talking to Puck and Blaine was still talking to him." As Noah got back into his wheelchair, Norah said, "Mick got him a job at the shop, and I know you stepped down as a congressman. I'm sorry about Carole. I wanted to go to the funeral, but I was afraid of Puck finding out."

Burt chuckles as he says, "I really hope Tracy doesn't try to..." Norah cuts Burt off and says, "Don't even say it, Burt. I hear it often from Sarah and Santana. I know one thing: Tracy is the best thing for Puck. I'm kind of looking forward to her teenage years." Burt says nothing as he elbows Norah as Noah wheels himself and Tracy over to them.

As they headed back to Noah's hospital room, Noah said, "I know about Mrs. H, saw on the news. Mick told me about you too. I was the one that disabled Kurt's car back in high school. Mrs. A has come to see me, too." Then Tracy glares at Noah as he says, "Someone thinks you two will end up together." As Burt chuckles.

Noah was released three months later. Then Nancy comes by Norah's house just minutes before Burt brings Tracy. Then Nancy whispers to Noah, "I know about Tracy's plan and I told Artie. Let's just say he thought she would be wanting to have Norah as her new Grandmother, and I'm pretty sure you want Burt as your dad."

Noah chuckles as he says, "He knows that already, and they are not into each other that way. I'm pretty sure you're not into Mr. H or want to replace Mrs. H, any more than my mom does. Ha, I bet Kurt is rolling in his grave about all this. I bet you thirty bucks, Tracy and I will be fighting over her moving on to my mom. I'm so tempted to tell Rachel about this. Don't tell Artie or Tina this, I don't want this getting back to Rachel. Tracy was the one that chose me as her only godparent when she learned Beth was my daughter, and she loves The Hulk family. Ha, I bet that's why she wants you as her new grandmother."

Nancy chuckles and says, "Artie already told Rachel about that. He was there at the time, and Rachel stopped talking to Artie after the funeral. I bet you fifty bucks, Tracy will try to get you back with Quinn." Noah smiles as Nancy shakes her head.

One day, Nancy stops by the shop with Artie and Tina, as Tracy was in the office. Tina was the first one that noticed Burt and Nancy were flirting with each other. Then she saw Tracy smile from ear to ear as she watched them, too. Then Artie jokes, "I bet Kurt would be okay with this, but not Mrs. H."

Noah watches them as he says, "I'm just glad that's not my mom, even if I do act like Mr. H. You guys both know if Kurt's crush was on me before we all became friends. I would put a stop to his plans real quick."

Then Tina blushes and whispers, "I might have helped Kurt because I was shipping you two back then." Tracy glares at Tina as Artie and Noah chuckle behind her back. When Burt kisses Nancy, who kisses him back.
