Sebastian was taken to the nurse's office in the morning. Jeff had woken up to find the boy lying on his back with his covers kicked off. The crotch of his diaper was bulging and pale yellow and even though Jeff would do a lot of things for a friend, that was just one thing he couldn't handle . The real, well, normal Sebastian hadn't returned and both boys knew that they couldn't leave him alone if he couldn't even use the bathroom on his own. The tugged a pair of pajama pants up his legs and stuffed all of "Bassy's" things into a bag before slowly making their way down to the nurse with him. For Sebastian's sake, they had decided to head out early before the other boys were up and out of their rooms. They made it to the nurse's office just as the morning wake-up bell rang and sighed in relief to find the place empty.

"Where's Mrs. Thawyer?" Jeff frowned. He looked around the room to find it empty.

"She's probably getting coffee. Let's just wait for her." Nick said, guiding Sebastian over to the bed.

"We'll be late for class." Jeff protested. "Or at least breakfast. We aren't even dressed yet."

"I think the teachers will understand." Nick replied.

Jeff sighed and looked around the office curiously. How many times had Sebastian been in here for what he was there for now? Did others know? And most importantly, what was wrong with Sebastian?

His thoughts were interrupted by the shutting of a door and turned to find Mrs. Thawyer standing in the doorway with a cup of coffee and a handbag that appeared to be stuffed to the brim. "Sorry I'm late guys. Were there any problems with Sebastian?"

"No, he just slept." Nick shrugged.

Mrs. Thawyer walked over to Sebastian and laid him down, slipping a hand down the front of his pants to check his diaper. "Alright…" She murmured to himself before turning to face the boys. "Would you boys do me one more favor?"

"Anything." Nick nodded before Jeff could say anything.

"I can't leave the room with Sebastian here. Would you bring him some breakfast?"

"What do we get?" Jeff asked.

"Umm, milk. Get a bottle of milk and maybe some fruit. If they have any packages of cereal, get that." The nurse listed off.

"What kind of cereal?" Jeff inquired.

"Hmm, get Cheerios , and if they don't have that, fruit loops or something. No Lucky Charms or Coco Puffs."

"Got it." Nick nodded. Once the boys had left, Mrs. Thawyer turned to Sebastian.

"Alright, now let's get you in a clean diaper."

Nick wanted to postpone the sleepover again, but it was too late now. They had already invited Kurt and Blaine and it was the only time they could get out to Westerville for a visit. A night with their favorite couple was just too good to pass up. Due to the fact that everyone was jittery with excitement over the movie night, Jeff and Nick elected not to put a damper on their good mood by releasing the news about Sebastian. Besides, Nick doubted that Sebastian would want his business broadcasted anyway.

So when Kurt and Blaine arrived, the Warblers greeted their old friends with hugs and cheerfully led them into the choir room, which had been stocked with couches and tables filled to the brim with food. However, the first thing Kurt did was turn to Nick and ask , "How's Sebastian doing?"

Blaine, who had simply heard about the news and not had the opportunity to witness it for himself, nodded in agreement, one eye sparkling with curiosity . "Where is he?"

"Umm….he's fine." Nick lied. "He just didn't feel like coming tonight."

"Really?" Kurt asked skeptically.

"Yea, Mrs. Thawyer doesn't want him leaving the nurse's office." Jeff added, earning a dirty look from Nick.

"So he's not fine?" Blaine frowned.

"I want to see him." Kurt said.

"What? But why? Kurt, you don't even like him." Nick argued.

"I know, but there's something really wrong with him and I want to check up on it." Kurt shrugged. He wasn't about to tell them about the strange, warm feeling he'd gotten when he'd seen Sebastian so helpless, so vulnerable, so in need of somebody to take care of him. Just the memory of Sebastian looking up with him with such needy yet trusting eyes created a tingle in his diaphragm . He wasn't quite sure what the feeling was just yet, but he was fairly certain that he wanted to feel it again.

"I don't know…" Nick sighed. "He might be really upset if he finds out."

"Don't tell him." Kurt replied easily. "What happened after he came back to school?"

"He didn't want to talk about it." Jeff stated.

"He didn't want to talk about anything." Nick added.

"You don't even have to take us. We'll go on our own." Blaine finally spoke up. Curiosity was starting to get the best of him.

Nick released a long, heavy breath and scratched the back of his head. "Fine. But you better not tell anyone."

"Trust me, our lips are sealed." Kurt replied. He took Blaine's hand and quickly led him out of the choir room and down the hall, eager to see Bassy once more. Something that felt oddly similar to excitement was welling up inside of him and he willed himself not to speed up. He couldn't look eager. Whatever was going on was serious.

Gabriella was in the middle of preparing beef stew when the phone rang. She answered contently, but her heart fell into her stomach when the person on the other end identified themselves as the Dalton Academy school nurse. She was calling about Sebastian, saying that he had gone into another episode and would she mind coming to the school? She had swiped the last of the chopped celery into the crockpot and turned the switch before snatching up her keys and fleeing out the door.

When Kurt and Blaine sidled into the nurse's office, an older woman with curly brown hair was already crouched beside the bed. She was smiling, but there was obvious worry in her eyes as she crooned to the boy.

"H-hello." Kurt said after a few moments. "I'm Kurt Hummel."

"Are you friends?" Gabriella asked while she petted the messy, unstyled hair on Sebastian's head.

"Kind of." Blaine nodded.

"I…we wanted to see if Sebastian is alright." Kurt told her. "I was concerned." He ignored the surprised look on Blaine's face.

"He is okay. Bassy is not too much trouble if you take care of him well." Gabriella said. The forced smile got a little bigger.

"Sebastian?" Blaine asked.

"No, Bassy." Gabriella replied, smiling as the boy sat up and tugged on her arm. A yellow pacifier bobbed up and down in his mouth and he wore no pants to cover the puffy diaper that he wore instead of boxers. He didn't seem to care, though.

"Mama." He murmured around his pacifier.

"Oui, mon pouisson?" She cooed.

"Je veux miam-miam." Sebastian replied, burying his face in his mother's stomach.

"Tu as faim?" The mother asked in a high, babyish voice. When her son nodded, she pulled a box of animal crackers out of her bag and opened it up for him. The boy eagerly attacked the crackers, crumbs falling into his lap.

"Est-ce que tu voudrais du lolo?" She asked, maintaining the voice. Sebastian nodded, too absorbed in his snack to look up. He was given a sippy cup of milk and a pat on the head as Blaine watched in the most genuine of fascination.

"So, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what's….what's wrong with him?" He asked. He slumped his shoulders a bit at the hurt look that flashed across her face.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to upset you." Kurt quickly spoke up. "We were just wondering."

"Ummm….the doctor said he has DID, like another person in his head." Gabriella said. "When he is upset, Bassy will come out to help, but he usually makes everything worse."

"And Bassy doesn't speak English?" Kurt asked. If this woman was going to spill the details, he was going to get all the answers he could.

"He cannot. Sebastian did not learn English until he was older, so Bassy does not know it." She confirmed.

"So…he's a baby?" Blaine inquired.

"The doctor thinks he's about one to two years because he can't walk very well, but he can speak some words." Gabriella informed them.

Kurt glanced over at Sebastian and took another breath as a tingle shot through his chest, down into his stomach. This…person? This wasn't Sebastian. It wasn't the snarky, cocky, arrogant douchebag that was constantly leaving a sour taste in his mouth and chasing his boyfriend. This…person? He wore diapers and sucked on a pacifier and ate animal crackers and milk out of a sippy cup. It was so innocent and…cute. It was adorable. Kurt wanted more .

"You know, the Warblers are having a little movie night. He could come with us and watch a movie." Kurt offered.

"Film?" Sebastian perked up at the sound of that, dropping his sippy cup on the bed.

"I don't know…what if he needs something?" Gabriella frowned skeptically.

"I'm fluent in French." Kurt shrugged.

"Well, what if he needs to be changed?" She added.

"We can handle it." Blaine smiled, he too was getting into the idea.

"I guess that's okay. I do need to get home." Gabriella said, but she still looked a bit uncertain.

"We can call you if anything happens." Kurt told her. "And the nurse is only a corridor away."

The worried mother sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I suppose." Plucking a pen off of the nurse's desk, she tore a piece of paper from a magazine sticking out of her purse and scribbled a line of digits onto it. "This is my telephone number." She said. "Please call me if anything happens."

Kurt smiled kindly, recognizing the fretful look on her face as one that his own dad had worn many times. "Absolutely."

Gabriella nodded and turned to Sebastian, cupping his face in her hands. "Bassy? Je doit partir. Au revoir, mon puisson. Je t'adore." She crooned, kissing his cheeks and wrapping her arms around his skinny frame. With one last kiss to his temple, Gabriella grabbed her bag and left.
