"We figured that today, we start working on Duets." Noah stated, eyes not leaving Jesse, who was moving a little too close to his wife.

"Now duets aren't just about singing. They're about letting the audience feel the emotion. Showing them that how you really feel about the person you're singing with. If you have a love song, find a way to express that love. If you have a song about a deep friendship, make sure the people watching you understand that. We will demonstrate two different types of duets. A faster one and a slower one." Rachel said, already having discussed to two with Noah. He went to get his guitar but Jesse had started playing the piano.

"Rachel and I will be doing Lionel Richie's 'Hello' for you guys." Jesse said. The Puckerman kids gasped. They had heard all about Jesse. To this day, their mom can't be around eggs without tears needing to quickly be wiped away. They had witnessed the pain she still felt from his betrayal. Elijah looked over at his dad and saw his fist and jaw clenched. He stood and went over to him as his mom and Jesse sang their song.

"You okay dad?" he asked.

"No, I'm not. If St. Douche thinks he can come and win her over again with that song, then… That was the song that originally brought them together. I don't want all the pain he caused her to come back." Noah responded, he could never lie to his oldest son, something Elijah got from his mother.

"But mom loves you, dad." Elijah was so much like his mom at times, Noah just had to laugh.

"Yeah, I know buddy," Noah chuckled, "but, I still wonder why she chose me, sometimes? She could have done so much better than me, she deserved so much better than me. I was absolutely horrible to her for so long. Out of nowhere, though, she became my world. I meant every word of Sweet Caroline when I serenaded her."

"That's what Caroline's name symbolizes."

"Yeah."

There conversation was cut short but a resounding slap as Jesse tried to kiss Rachel. Noah was out of his chair immediately.

"If you ever try a stunt like that again, I will hurt you." Rachel whispered, furiously. She refused to lose her cool in front of her kids. She pulled out of his grip and stalked across the stage to talk to the band about the next song. Noah walked up on stage and grabbed Jesse's arm as he passed.

"Don't think that just because I'm whipped, that I am any less capable of beating the crap out of you. Got it? You had your chance and you blew it!" Noah whispered darkly. He smirked as he saw the glares on his sons' faces as Jesse walked by them.

"Alright, now Noah and I will be performing 'Something to Believe In', featured in the tv movie Spectacular! And performed by won Regionals for New Directions in our senior year." Rachel smiled up at Noah.

After they finished performing, their class cheered loudly. Noah smirked down at her and kissed her, same as he did the last time they performed that song. This was greeted by cheers from their honorary nieces and nephews and choruses of "DAD", "EEEEEW", "GUYS", GROSS", and "WHEN WILL YOU STOP ACTING LIKE THE TEENAGE COUPLE YOU AREN'T AND START ACTING LIKE THE PROFESSIONAL ADULT PARENTS YOU ARE"s from their kids. Rachel pulled away, giggling slightly.

"Your homework is to pick a partner to do a duet with. We will have a list of songs for you to pick from tomorrow. Have a good day." Rachel said. The bell rang and the class got up and left. Caroline began to walk out of the auditorium with Kai when she paused. She told him to wait for her and ran back up on stage.

"Dad!" she yelled. He turned around and she hugged him tightly. "Hey daddy. I didn't get to say good morning to you today. You were gone by the time I got up."

"Morning, Princess," Noah said, hugging his oldest daughter once more and watching her run up to Kai and then out the door. Rachel laughed as she walked over to him.

"Ah, she's daddy's girl, isn't she?" Santana asked as she walked down the center aisle, shaking her head as Caroline ran out the door dragging Kai by his shirt sleeve.

"By far. She has had Noah wrapped around her finger since she was born." Rachel said lacing her arm through his and walking to meet Santana.

"More like since I found out that we were having a girl." Noah corrected. Santana laughed, then stopped when she saw Jesse.

"Why are you here, St. Douche?" she asked with venom.

"He is apparently the third teacher for this course." Noah informed the Latina.

"And Shue hired him! I will be having a talk with that man."

"San, please, don't turn this into a Sue Sylvester vs William Schuester Battle Royale." Rachel tired to reason.

"But first things first. You are not welcome to the staff. Rachel is now married to Noah Puckerman. You have no more chances with her…EVER. So, if I hear that you have hit on her or have tied any funny business, then I will hurt you. GOT IT, PRETTY BOY! Good. Now, welcome to the staff of McKinley High…NOT." Santana rounded on Jesse, effectively scaring him for the moment.

"I guess we should talk to Shue now." Noah said, taking Rachel's hand and leading her out of the auditorium.
