Sam woke up his eyes trying desperately to open but they just wouldn't, no matter how hard he tried. Sam tried to move a hand, a finger, and finally found that he could do that even if his entire body felt like lead. What had happened to him?

"Sam, Sam are you awake? If you can hear me squeeze my hand?" A voice pleaded with him and he couldn't ignore it, in fact he felt that he had to comply with the voice.

Opening his eyes Sam felt a sudden coldness and a pain in his chest. He looked to his right and saw Puck sitting next to his bed, eyes red and puffy. There was something confusing about Puck though, he seemed to look seventeen years old? "Puck?" He whispered surprised by the rawness of his throat. What had happened to him?

Puck's head snapped having heard his brother finally speak. "Sam? Oh my god! Thank god you're okay." Puck cried as he grabbed his brother's hand and squeezed gently. "I was so worried. I didn't know if you were going to wake up."

Sam was so confused, he had absolutely no idea what had happened to him. The last thing he remembered was falling asleep with Ella wrapped in his arms," Puck what happened?"

"We went to pick Mike up from the airport and you had a heart attack. Sam we didn't know if you were going to make it." Puck cried as he put his head in his hands and let the tears fall. "I didn't know if you were going to wake up."

"Where's Ella?" he asked confused and just hoping to see his wife. "How's the baby?"

Puck looked at his brother in shock, he didn't have any idea what his little brother was talking about. "Sam do you know what year it is or maybe how old you are?"

"Of course. Puck I'm twenty-five."

"I'm going to go and get a doctor just stay still." The boy says panicked because somehow and someway his brother's mind is all messed up.

"Sammy!" Sam hears the voice and knows who it is before the little girl jumps onto his bed and quickly hugs him. "I missed you!" She cries grabbing onto him like she'll never see him again. "I love you!"

"Rachel? Are you eight years old again?" The blond asks hugging the tiny body and kissing her cheek. "I thought you were sixteen."

The little brunette's chocolate orbs are filled with tears and she looks into her brother's blue eyes positively terrified. "Oh Sammy you don't remember me?"

The small voice makes him want to cry, he would never in a million years hurt his baby sister. "Oh sweetie pie I didn't forget you." He murmurs softly as he ruffles the brunette hair. "I just had a crazy wild dream and you were my age."

The little girl looked at her favorite older brother like he had grown horns. "Sammy should I go and find Mommy?"

"No sweetie pie. I just need you to come and give me a big hug, the best medicine in the entire world." He told her holding out his arms and waiting for the eight years old to wrap her arms around him. "Hey Rachie just so you know you are never going to blue lake performing arts school."

" Mom I don't understand what's wrong with Sam? " Kurt asked as the family sat in the living room, all wishing to understand what was wrong with Sam. " I mean does he have brain damage or something?"

Shelby wiped her eyes and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear as she tried to gain composure. "The doctors say that your brother is okay. They did a CT scan and can find nothing wrong with your brother. I think Sam just had a wild dream that seemed very realistic." Shelby told them as calmly as she could even though she was worried for her golden boy, who was so confused.

" Mommy! Sammy will be fine." Rachel said softly, " Sam just needs some time so that he can process what's happened."

" I just think it's crazy that Sam believes he was married and expecting a baby." Puck said rubbing his eyes. "I just…can I go back to the hospital?" He asked looking at his mother. "I know Dad's there but I really need to talk to Sam."

" Go ahead Noah, just please be careful." Shelby spoke softly not being able to imagine anything else happening to another one of her children.

"Hey Dad can I ask you something?" Sam asked shifting to get more comfortable, even though he had a terrible pain in his chest.

Will sighed deeply rubbing his face, worried about what his son might ask him. "You know you can ask me anything buddy."

"Do you think I'm crazy?" The blonde asked softly. It just seemed that everything was real and to find out that he was sixteen again was something unfathomable to him.

"You're not crazy Sam. I think you just had a really wild dream kiddo."

Before Sam could respond to his father's explanation Puck walked into the room. "Hey guys. Dad why don't you go home and get some rest I've got to talk to Sam."

Will nodded softly realizing that talking to his brother might be better for Sam than talking to his father. Will just wanted to see his son out of the hospital, because his sixteen - year old son having a heart attack was terrifying. "Alright guys I'll leave you two to talk." Will walked over to his son and placed his forehead against his son's "I love you buddy. I believe in you. I know how strong you are." Will kissed his son on the top of the head before turning to Puck and pulling him into a tight hug. " Love you both."

"Alright bro tell me everything." Puck demanded as he pulled the chair close to the bed. "I want to hear it all so don't even think of leaving anything out."

"Really that's so crazy Sam!"

Sam frowned deeply and rubbed his throbbing headache "I know it's insane but I swear it was real Puck. I honestly loved that woman and I was going to have a baby with her."

"Sam you're freaking me out." Puck said nervously as he scratched the top of his head." Now listen, I believe that you had a really realistic dream for the three days you were out but I don't think this stuff really happened.

"What if this was a sign of things to come Puck?" Sam asked as he leaned back against the pillows and rested his eyes for a moment. " Don't look at me like I'm crazy. I remember having my first heart attack and I remember getting diagnosed with HCM.

Puck looked at his brother as if he had truly go insane. "Dude maybe you should just take a rest."

Sam glared at his older brother, if anything Puck should believe him because this was real and an omen for the future. Sam would take care of it, starting with Finn.

"Sammy you're coming home today!" Rachel squealed excitedly as she wrapped her arms tightly around her older brother's neck." I'm so happy."

"I'm happy too kiddo. I can't wait to hang around with you all day."

Rachel giggled and kissed the blonde boy's cheek. "We have a baby to get ready for Sam! Can you believe that Finn, our Finn, is having a baby!"

Sam placed his hands behind his head and gave an evil laugh. "That's what Finn thinks…"

"Rachel Schuester you my dear are late for ballet, now get in there and get ready to work."

The little girl nodded frantically as she threw her bag into her cubby and pulled on her ballet slippers.

"There you are Rachel!" The dance instructor, Lauren Hayes, said enthusiastically "The star has arrived.

The girls in the class glared as the tiny brunette took her position front and center. The little girl truly was a great dancer but did she really deserve so much attention and praise? The other mothers hated it and the little girls absolutely hated it, though they were still friendly to the little star.

Finally, Rachel was in her private lesson and ready to practice her solo for the upcoming competition.

"Alright Rach, I want you to cross your arms across you chest and then shake your butt a little bit." The little girl did the movements as her teacher shouted them out and at the end of her lesson her little body was sore and exhausted.

"Shelby I've got to say that Rachel needs to be taking more classes. I know in my heart that she's going to be an amazing dancer someday but Shelby she's here ten hours a week if she truly wants a career she needs to start putting in double that. I'm also going to need her at every competition because every crown we get on her head now is going to look amazing on her future resumes."

Shelby was not expecting this, she just wanted to pick up her little girl and hear how amazing she was as always but to hear that she would be famous someday was almost too much. "I'll have to talk to Will about Laura. I know she's a star but I had no idea that you guys did too. I want this best for her and I'm just not sure I want her whole life to be dance."

"Mommy I love to dance! Please just let me dance!" The little girl pleaded as she pulled on Shelby's pant legs. "I just want to dance forever Mommy!"

"I know." Shelby said simply as she bent down to wrap her arms around the little body.

"I don't know Shelby." Will told his wife as they were laying in bed that evening.

Shelby sighed, "Will this is what Rachel wants for her life. I mean I know she's only eight but when she dances people feel something and I know she loves it."

"Shelby, Rachel is eight years old that gives her no indication if this is what she wants for life. I Want her to be a kid and dancing all the time is not going to give her a childhood. I am aware how great she is Shelby and I just don't think she needs more than what she has right now."

The woman laid a hand across her husband. "Rachel want this Will and I mean really wants to dance. If things don't seem to be going well we can always put her back to doing what she has been doing."

"I can't argue with that my love."

Sam was literally turning into a crazy man. The time that read on all of the clocks in the Shuester home read Eleven and the boy was still writing down all of the events that were meant to happen in the future. The plan he had was to change everything, except him meeting Ella because well she was the best woman in the entire universe but everything else would be changing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kurt asked walking into Sam's insanity. "Are you writing a novel or something?"

"Yeah something like that Kurt." He said not looking up or moving from his hunched position at his desk. "I really need to write this stuff down before I forget it all."

"Are you still going on about that crazy dream of yours?" The young boy asked as he peeked over his brother's shoulders. Unfortunately the boy could not decipher anything that his brother had written down. "I think you should sleep it off Sam."

The blonde was feeling a bit tired and he surely did not want to end up back in the hospital so he closed his notebook, said goodnight to his little brother, and laid down in his bed.

Brittany Pierce was so stupid, beyond stupid, and she knew that this was going to kill her. The cheerleader had failed two of her six courses, she hadn't gotten D's like the school board permitted, she had actually received F's. This was all too much and way too stressful. Sam, her twin, had literally just been let out of the hospital and now she had to start summer school. " I cannot believe this!" She mumbled as she walked into the school for her first week. "This is ridiculous."

"Yo Britts!" Artie Abrahams greeted cheerfully as the blonde sat next to him in the bio lab. "I didn't know you failed bio."

Brittany was shocked to see Artie Abrahams at all because from what she knew he was one of the smartest people in the soon to be junior class. "I can't believe you failed Artie!"

" I didn't. I'm actually retaking the course to get a higher grade. I mean the first time I got a B but it's just not good enough, I am going in to medicine after all. " He snorted at his own joke just like any nerd would do and pushed his classes up his nose. This was different for Brittany, this feeling that she actually liked this boy, a complete and total dork.

"Hey Artie, Do you want to get something to eat after class?"

The boy smiled excitedly "I'd love to."

"Finn!" Quinn yelled for what had to be the thirtieth time. "Finn, I need to know what you want for dinner!" The blonde girl was not into being domestic, her own mother had never been the housewife, but yet she was trying her best because she would have a baby and husband soon.

"Baby you can make anything you want." He smiled at her attempts to be a housewife.

Quinn frowned but head into the small kitchen within the apartment and began to cook. The girl wondered if she would ever have enough money to hire a nanny.

"Alright baby doll I'll pick you up at eight tonight." Puck told his little sister as he watched her pull on her little jazz shoes, ready to step into the studio and prance about.

The little brunette giggled and gave him a hug " Alright I'll see you later Puck."

"Puck is that you?"

Puck turned around to see a pretty red-head whom had been in his environmental science class just last term. "Hey Ally! I had no idea that you danced here."

The girl smiled and nodded, she really had a thing for Puck. " Yeah I'm actually heading out to LA next fall but for now I'm still working at improving my technique. It's funny but I had no idea you were related to Rachel. That little girl is one of the best dancers at this studio and she's eight. I'm glad she's finally turning into a junior company dance member."

"I worry about her all the time." Puck said seriously, "She is a good little dancer, but she's so tiny and I want her to have a life."

The girl got just a little bit closer but looked into his eyes. "I didn't have a normal childhood like she's not going to have, but Puck when you love something you're willing to give it everything that you have because you know nothing will ever fill your heart like it does."

"Hey, do you maybe want to go out sometime?"

"Rachel come on we're counting on you!" The dance teacher screamed as the little girls danced. "Side Ariel! Come on!"

Rachel had finally finished the last number with her new team and her tiny legs were aching. The little girl loved to dance and she would make it through this training but she wasn't sure that she wanted to be front and center for every dance number.
