Abby walks out of Noah's room, she finds Kurt and Rebecca in the small private waiting room just a couple of doors down. She looks at the two sitting in chairs holding hands, they look so sweet and innocent.

Opening the door, Kurt is the first to say anything, immediately asking if Noah is okay. Rebecca looks like she is holding her breath.

"He is better now guys", she hopes she isn't lying to them, "Tom is talking to Noah right now, explaining what is happening to him".

"You mean about us living with him?" Rebecca has this hopeful look on her face.

"Yes and about what is happening to him now too", she watches Rebecca look at the floor with a frown on her face.

"That doctor was mean to Noah, he made him cry", Rebecca's voice held anger and hurt, "they should make him freak out and see if he likes it".

Abby and Kurt both laugh at the wisdom of an eleven year old.

"Kurt, give Tom a few more minutes with Noah and then take Rebecca in", she knows that the young girl wants to see her brother, "I know that Noah wants to see you both".

"Sure, Abby", Kurt motions with his head at the door, "um could I talk to you outside for a minute?"

They both walk outside of the room after making sure Rebecca would be alright.

"Okay Kurt", Abby gives him the floor.

"I just wanted to apologize for being a bit short with you last night. Rebecca seems to trust you now and I just wanted to say thank you for being there for them", Kurt smiles and blushes just a little bit.

"Noah needs help. He needs his friends and from what I can tell there aren't too many of them around." Abby's tone is a little bit frustrated, not at Kurt but the situation.

"He has more friends than he thinks, I met with the most of the members of Glee this morning and they are all behind him. Well except for a few but that is because I didn't want them at the meeting. They have issues with Noah and wouldn't be much help," there is a bitterness in Kurt's tone.

"I am glad that he has you for a friend Kurt, you seem to care a lot about him", Abby's attention is drawn to the nurse's station.

"Kurt go ahead and take Rebecca in now, there is Noah's doctor", she points at the doctor talking to a nurse, "I am going to talk to him and see what I can find out."

Kurt nods and watches Abby walk to where they are standing and he motions for Rebecca to come on.

Kurt walks in to the room first, making sure that it is alright.

Tom motions for them to come on in.

"He's resting finally."

"I know you guys want to talk to him, but let him sleep for a little while", Tom knows they are upset but he knows that Noah needs to recover his strength too.

Rebecca walks over to Noah and gently holds his hand.

Kurt looks at Tom and whispers that Abby is talking with the doctor at the nurse's station.

Tom knows that Abby is barely keeping it together for everyone's sake, so he tells Kurt he needs to go and rescue the doctor.

Kurt looks at him funny until he remembers the scene in the waiting room. He smiles knowing first hand that she has a temper.

"Don't worry Tom, I will come and get you if he wakes up", Kurt assures him as he is walking out the door.

Tom walks to the end of the short hallway and can hear Abby's voice before he sees her.

"What do you mean the meds can make him worse? You're a doctor aren't the meds suppose to make him better?" Abby is getting louder with each sentence.

Tom walks into the doctor's view.

"Mr. Watson, can you please calm Ms. Morgan down so that I can start over from the beginning now that you are here?" The doctor is losing his patience with Abby and her interrupting questions.

"I can try, but she has a mind of her own", Tom gives Abby the look of shut the hell up or else.

Abby's face turns several different shades of red before giving Tom a look of you are so dead when this is over, but she keeps her mouth shut for the time being.

"As I was telling Ms. Morgan, Noah had an extreme attack. It lasted over forty minutes with many symptoms. The medication that I am prescribing him, Librium, is very strong and it does cause side effects. The most common are dizziness, confusion, lethargy, debilitated muscle reflexes. The RARE side effects are anger, suicide, depression." The doctor holds his hand up when Abby opens her mouth and Tom shots her another nasty look.

"It will take a couple of days for the medication to work properly. Once it has leveled out in his system he will seem more relaxed than overly tired, and the panic attacks should gradually ebb. The dosage I am prescribing him is in the middle range so that it can be adjusted accordingly. The nurse will give you plenty of literature on the drug itself and how to help him deal with being on the medication."

The doctor jots something down on Noah's chart. He looks at Tom and gives his final recommendations.

"I am giving you my cell number and telling my staff that they are to notify me immediately if you call. You are going to need help with Noah, please take my advice and get him to a therapist soon. You may take him home when he wakes and make sure he eats something when you get him there. He can return to school next Monday that should give his system enough time to adjust to the changes. I am also sending a letter to the school so that will have his medication and dosage information on file for the school nurse."

The doctor closes the chart and offers one more thing to Tom along with his hand, "I would like it if you made me Noah's primary doctor. It would help having someone that knows the case instead of another doctor trying to treat him without knowing the circumstances."

Tom shakes the doctor's offered hand.

"I would like that doc, you have been really great with Noah and with ALL of us", he looks at Abby saying the last three words.

"I am sorry for being a bitch to you, it's just hard watching someone and not being able to help him." She offers her hand to the doctor as well.

He takes it, "If you are both on his side I think he just might make it through this nightmare", he smiles at both of them.

Tom and Abby both thank him and watch him walk away to see another patient.

The nurse lets them know that she will bring the paper work and information to the room when Noah wakes up.

They are walking back to Noah's room, when Abby punches Tom on the arm.

"Ow".

"That is for the nasty looks you gave me with the doctor", she says with a smile.

"If you would learn to shut up once in a while you wouldn't get dirty looks", Tom stated rubbing his arm.
