Hey guys! This is my new fic! I got a lot of inspiration from "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green which I just read (in like two days and cried). I hope you guys enjoy this! Warning: It's going to be a little angstier than I normally write.
Kurt and Blaine Anderson Hummel's lives couldn't have been better; legally married, a Vogue assistant editor and a recording artist living in large apartment in New York with a beautiful, eight year old daughter named Madison, who preferred being called Maddie. Both Kurt and Blaine graduated from NYADA, but both shied away from the Broadway stage. Kurt discovered that he was an amazing fashion designer. Isabelle saw his potential and it wasn't long before he was her right hand man. Blaine on the other hand still found that his passion was in music, but not the Broadway show tunes like he had thought. He wanted to produce his own music, so he got in contact with a record label and they snatched him up before another label could. He was working on his first album now that would soon be out conquering the charts. And then, there was Maddie. She had both her father's wrapped around her little finger.
"Who are we going to see baby doll?" Blaine asked his daughter as she swung from his and Kurt's hands down a path in Central Park.
"Auntie Skylar!" She said excitedly. Skylar was Blaine's younger sister. She was currently a resident at New York Memorial Hospital because unfortunately she was living with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Skylar was diagnosed at age five. She was a fighter and had beaten the cancer twice, but it just kept coming back.
Maddie continued to hold her fathers' hands as they walked into the hospital. They got on to the very large elevator and Maddie pressed the little five button. That was where the cancer wing was. The whole Anderson-Hummel family were frequent visitors to NY Memorial and especially floor five. Cooper was in California and Blaine's parents were usually traveling so they visited the hospital at least once a week to make sure Skylar didn't get lonely. As the elevator dinged and the doors opened, Maddie sprung from her fathers' grasps and went running down the hallway to where Skylar's room was. Kurt and Blaine walked slowly together and talked to the nurses whom they had grown very fond of. Skylar was awake and on her computer when Maddie burst in through the door.
"Auntie Skylar!" She exclaimed as threw herself into her Skylar's arms. Skylar's face lit up and hugged her niece tightly. She often spoiled Maddie and absolutely loved her to death. Who knew when Cooper was actually going to settle down and have babies, so for now Maddie was all that she had.
"What's going on sweetie? I missed you!" Skylar told her as Maddie climbed up onto Skylar's hospital bed.
"Daddy, Papa, and I went to Central Park before we came to visit you. They let me play on the playground." Maddie told her.
"Wow! That sounds like fun!" Skylar said with a large smile on her face.
"Can we take photos on your laptop?" Maddie asked Skylar.
"Sure," Skylar said as she clicked on her camera icon and the screen appeared to show their faces. "Make a nice face first and then we can do silly pictures." Skylar told her. Maddie nodded and gave a toothless smile as Skylar pressed the camera button and they heard a click. "Okay, now make funny faces!" Skylar said. Maddie giggled and stuck her tongue out as Skylar did one of her infamous duck faces. The two girls giggled and took about a dozen more pictures before Kurt and Blaine finally reached Skylar's room.
"There are people trying to rest on this floor. I can hear you two giggling all the way down the hallway." Kurt said once he and Blaine got in the room.
"So, I'm always loud." Skylar said with a shrug of her shoulders "And they all love me anyway. Right, April?" Skylar called to a nurse passing by her room.
"Yeah sure Sky." she said with a laugh. She had obviously seen enough of Skylar's antics and had realized that just agreeing with her was easier.
"I see she's already made herself comfy."Blaine said pointing to Maddie who had nestled herself into Skylar's bed.
"Yeah. We were taking selfies." Skylar told him. "You should come take some, Blainey."
"Yeah, how about no."Blaine laughed. "I don't know why you two are so amused by taking pictures of yourself."
"Because Daddy, It's fun! Maddie retorted sassily.
"You know, my daughter is a perfect well behaved angel, until she comes to visit you." Blaine said to Skylar. "Then, she get's a sassy little attitude."
"What can I say?" Skylar said. "I try."
"I like what you've done with the room." Kurt said changing the subject.
"Oh, yeah. That lamp shade is new and so is the comforter. Amazon shopping is totally my addiction." Skylar laughed. During the brief period when Skylar was in remission, she had been studying to be an interior designer. So, her hospital room wasn't your stereotypical room. There were posters all over the walls. The lamps had zebra print lamp shades and Skylar's bed look more like one you'd find in a regular bedroom because of the zebra sheets and comforter. "I'm basically living here and there was no way that I'd be able to live in a boring hospital room. I wanted to paint the walls pink, but they won't let me." Skylar pouted.
"What walls?" Blaine asked sarcastically. "You have so many posters that I can't even see the wall anymore." Skylar gave her brother a bitch face and threw one of the plush pillows she had and hit him in he face. "Ow!" He complained. "Sky, buttons hurt when they hit your face!"
"Then don't criticize my interior decorating skills." Skylar told him. Maddie giggled at her aunt and reached up to wipe her nose. She looked down at her hand and there was blood on it.
"Papa, I have another nosebleed." She moaned. Kurt got up from the chair he was sitting in and hoisted her off the bed. Skylar grabbed some tissues and handed them to Kurt who held them on Maddie's bleeding nose. The blood was coming fast and soaking through the tissues.
"She's always getting these nosebleeds." Kurt said. "I don't know why." After about ten minutes Maddie's nosebleed stopped. There was blood smeared under her nose and on her chin. "Let's go clean you up in the bathroom." Kurt said. "We'll be right back." Kurt added before disappearing into Skylar's bathroom with Maddie.
"So, Maddie has a lot of nosebleeds." Skylar said hesitantly to Blaine.
"Yeah, She's got season allergies this time of year. Her nose is probably just really dry." Blaine replied.
"Are you sure because you know, nosebleeds were my first symptom." Skylar said. Blaine looked at his sister.
"Maddie isn't you. She doesn't have leukemia." Blaine said defensively.
"You don't know that. Blaine, it runs in our family and Maddie is biologically yours." Skylar retorted.
"She's fine. It was just a nosebleed." Blaine said.
"Yes, one that was very heavy and lasted for about ten minutes." Skylar replied. "Normal nosebleeds don't do that."
"She's fine." Blaine told her once again. Then, Kurt and Maddie came out of the bathroom. Maddie was cleaned up and had a smile on her face again.
"We better be going." Blaine said to Kurt. "Maddie, go say bye to Auntie Skylar." Maddie grumbled something about not wanting to leave and then went over and gave Skylar a hug.
"Bye Auntie Skylar." Maddie said quietly.
"Bye honey." Skylar said. "Come and visit me again soon."
"I will. I promise." Maddie said as she pulled herself from Skylar's hug. She went back over to where Kurt and Blaine were.
"Bye Sky." Kurt said with a wave. Skylar blew him a kiss. Maddie got very excited because she saw Dr. Wood, who was Skylar's oncologist and ran over to him. He hoisted the little girl up and gave her a hug, as Kurt left Skylar's room to follow his daughter.
"Just please, think about what I said." Skylar told Blaine in a serious tone.
"She doesn't have leukemia, Sky. End of story." Blaine said before leaving to go and catch up with his husband and his daughter. It was just a nosebleed. Kids had nosebleeds all the time. There was no reason to worry…right?
