A/N: Well this is the last chapter. I hit inspiration and flew through the last three chapters. Wasn't sure how long it would go for but it ended itself quite nicely I believe. Can't wait for GLEE tomorrow! Disclaimer: I do not own GLEE or any of its characters. GLEE belongs to its creators and FOX

Will and Emma decided that they'd be the last to go in and see Quinn before visiting hours ended. Everyone wanted to see her desperately and Will thought it only right that the kids go in first. Will had assumed that Puck would be one of the first in, but the boy had drifted out of the pack and disappeared as it was decided that Santana and Brittany would go first. Tilting his head towards the direction Puck left Emma squeezed his arm in response letting him know it was alright to go after Puck. No doubt Emma was needed here as there was no telling the state the kids would be in after seeing Quinn. Emma wanted to be there in case any of them wanted to talk.

Will walked silently through the halls wondering where Puck could have possibly gone, it took him awhile but Will found him in the place he least expected but should have guessed. Will stopped and studied Puck a moment. The normally tall strong teen looked irreconcilably tiny and utterly hopeless as he leaned against the large windowpane, his eyes staring at everything yet nothing at all. Slowly Will approached and turned to look through the window as well. Five tiny infants, newborns lay in their cribs sleeping quietly. A sense of peace flowed over Will.

"The last time I was here, I stood her next to her and watched our daughter sleep just like them." Will was surprised that Puck spoke first and he wasn't sure if he should respond, ultimately he decided the best thing to do was let Puck talk it out himself.

"She asked me if I ever loved her, I said especially now, but only a few months later we were apart again. I'd finally gotten her, she was mine, but I let her slip through my fingers. We had this giant fight at the beginning of August. She'd been so sad for so long and I got it, I thought I did at least, I mean I'd lost my daughter too, she was the one that gave our daughter away, so how could she still be so upset? She barely let me tough her, kiss her, and it was so frustrating. And then suddenly it was like she was trying to forget our past, go back to how everything was before Beth. I blew up at her and ended things. "Puck shook his head and pressed his forehead against the window and watched a nurse pick up one of the baby girls. Will knew Puck wasn't done so he just waited.

"When school started and she was back on the Cheerios I saw what she wanted me, all of us to see, she was going back to the norm, to what we were before so I did the same. I thought she was alright that she'd made her peace with Beth's adoption, I was so wrong, we all were. Everything she did last year screamed that she wasn't coping, and I was deaf to her calls, we all were. Then this fall I just thought she went off the reservation, and she did I guess, but it wasn't because of what I thought it was. It wasn't until she started to so desperately try and get Beth back and then tried to have another baby with me that I saw what had really happened. That I'd broken her when I knocked her up, that she'd fallen to pieces and none of tried to help her pick up the pieces, because she was Quinn Fabray and she didn't need help." Puck turned to Will, "We missed it, she fell over the edge and we didn't see."

Will looked away with shame, Puck was right, Quinn had needed help and they'd all been to blind or self-absorbed to see. When Will looked back Puck was smiling, it was a small one but it was there.
"But she caught herself. I don't know how, but she did it. She changed, she became the girl I fell in love with again and she was getting out of here. Despite everything she'd been thorough, her shitty childhood, the pregnancy, the depression, that's what she'd been after Beth I see that now, she got her ticket out. I was so proud when she told us that she got into Yale, but I felt hurt too, she was leaving me, for good. And now, now she may still leave me, but not to go to school."

Tears flowed down Puck' cheeks, "I've been such a fool. I thought it made me weak to admit how much I loved her, but I do Mr. Schue and I can't loss her, not like this."

Will pulled Puck into him and held him tight, "She's not going anywhere. She'll get through the surgery, she'll wake up, and she'll walk again Noah. You have to believe that."

"I just feel so helpless. When we found out about the accident, I felt like I would die myself. I never got to tell her that I still loved her. She thinks I don't care about her, that all I care about is Beth, and it's true, it's not."

"I know it's not. You still have a chance Noah. You just have to tell her. I don't know if you'll get back together but I know you'll regret it if you don't tell her exactly how you feel about her."

Noah shook in Will's arms his head buried into Will's shoulder, "I'm scared."

Will just held Noah tighter. Eventually the two pulled apart and Noah wiped his tears away on his sleeve. "It's not fair you know, this shouldn't have happened to Quinn."

"It's not fair but it happened. Quinn will need all the love and support she can get when she wakes up. You can be the support for her, if you want."

Noah nodded a new look of determination on his face, "I'm never leaving her again. I wasn't there for her when her father…" Noah paused and glanced at Will, and Will had a feeling Noah knew exactly what Russell Fabray used to do to his daughter, "kicked her out, I wasn't there for her when depression was eating at her soul, but I will be there for her now. Whether she likes it or not."

Will laughed a little and pulled Noah back into a side arm hug, "Good to hear. Now why don't we head back so you can get in to see her."

"Go in with me?" Will was shocked for a moment that Noah would want him to join him but he agreed. Granted he'd planned to go with Emma but he knew his place was by Noah's side right now.

No one argued when Puck announced that he was taking his turn. Santana, Brittany, Rachel, and Finn had already gone and were nowhere in sight, neither was Emma so Will assumed that she was taking care of the four teens, who other than Puck were perhaps the closest to Quinn.

Will walked behind Puck as they headed down the ICU ward. Quinn was in a private room at the end. Noah hesitated for a moment before looking back at Will. Will smiled and motioned towards the door.

Though Will had an idea of what he may see upon seeing Quinn for the first time, he was still not prepared for the actual sight. A breathing tube was held securely in Quinn's mouth by this odd blue mouth piece. IV's ran into her right arm, heart monitor cords ran down from the EKG and disappeared behind the hospital gown near her heart, electrodes dotted her head, a second large tube appeared out from under her left side, a chest tube to drain the fluid around her lungs the doctor had to them, and her left leg was in a cast and elevated. Small scratches and bruises covered most of her face practically on the left side. Will had never seen a more heartbreaking and terrible sight before.

Noah had broken down at her side and gripped Quinn's tiny gentle soft hand in his larger calloused ones. He kissed her hand tenderly, "Oh Quinn, you have to be alright, Okay? Beth needs you and so do I. We need you to wake up and be alright." Noah laid his head against her forearm. Will stepped up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Noah's right, Quinn. You need to come back to us. We all need you so much. We are here for you." Will didn't know if she could hear them but he hoped she could. He hoped she heard everyone, so that she would know that everyone loved her. That she was not alone, not anymore. No matter what happened he would be by her side, there to support her, hold her up when she fell, and guide her. He would be there and so would the entire glee club, because Quinn was their sister and they loved her. "We're a family Quinn and we love you, so come back to us," Will said sincerely and firmly. Quinn didn't respond or move or indicate in any way that she had heard Will but deep down inside slowly rising Will knew that Quinn would be alright that she would make it through this challenge just like she'd risen above every obstacle she had faced. She was a fighter, and she'd make it because she was Quinn Fabray.
