Chapter 10: Waiting No Longer
Four agonizing months had gone by, and Ali still hadn't woken up yet, much to Kurt's consternation. He tried to go about his every day life and just wait, but it got harder for him with each passing day. Good thing he had his family at the manor, real and otherwise, to help him out with the tough period.
Ali was showing signs of progress. Just one day, at exactly the last day of the 4th month, Kurt was sitting and talking to her as he usually did. Then, Ali's finger had twitched ever so slightly. Kurt grinned and had said quietly, "Good girl. I miss you terribly. Please come back soon. I don't think I can survive another day without you."
Then, at precisely 8:00 the next night, Ali moaned softly, hearing Kurt's soft voice echoing in her head, pleading for her to wake up. She said, so softly that it was barely audible, "Kurt." At that exact moment, Ali's eyes shot open and she bolted upright in the bed, confused and aching for Kurt. Ali groaned softly and put a hand to her head, looking around dazedly and saying, "Where am I?"
She then turned abruptly as someone entered the room, and Jean's mouth fell open as she said excitedly, "Ali? You're finally awake!" and she was crushed in a huge hug by one of her best friends.
Ali frowned slightly and said, "Finally awake? Jean, what happened? Why am I in the hospital room?" Jean then told her what had happened, and when she told her how long she had been in the coma, Ali was shocked. She then asked Jean, "How's Kurt been doing?" and Jean said, "Why don't you go see for yourself? I'll go with you; He should be getting ready to come see you again, so we can intercept him."
Ali put on the clothes on the back of the chair Kurt used, and she fixed her hair and left with Jean to go say hello to her blue boyfriend.
As soon as Ali got to the foyer, she heard a squeal, followed by a loud exclamation of "ALI!!!" and Kitty barreled into her and hugged her, Evan and Rogue and all the rest of the students coming up to say hi and welcome back. Then a voice said from the other end of the foyer, "Guys, what's going on?"
Rogue then winked at Ali, and she called out to her little brother, "We, uh, have a little surprise for you, bro." Everyone then moved aside so Ali and Kurt came into each other's lines of vision.
Kurt's jaw immediately dropped, and he looked as though he was about to faint from shock and happiness. He then took one unsteady step forward, and he said, in a whisper that seemed to carry across the foyer, "Ali? Baby?"
Ali just let out a sob, and she cried out, "Kurt!!" and before anyone could react, she and Kurt had ran towards each other and they met in the middle of the foyer, and Ali flung herself into Kurt's arms, him spinning her around happily.
Kurt then put her down and spluttered, "What…..How………When……oh, the hell with it!" and he leant down and kissed her so passionately that Ali was left breathless and feeling a little dizzy. Ali was breathing hard, and she said breathlessly, "Wow. If you're going to kiss me like that, I should go into comas more often!" Kurt shook his head frantically and said, "No way, you. You are never scaring me like that again, got it?" and he tickled her a little to get his point across.
Ali squealed and giggled, grabbing his hands, and he smiled and put his forehead against hers, saying softly, "You have no idea how much I missed that adorable laugh." Ali then said, "I think I do." Kurt said, "Nope. I don't think you do." Ali then leaned closer to him and whispered seductively, "Why don't you show me how much, then?" and she nipped at his earlobe and suckled it, making him groan softly.
He then pulled away, said to everyone, "Sorry, guys, but you're gonna have to catch up with Ali later!" and he wrapped her tightly in his arms, and before he teleported, he said, "Oh, and, no one disturb us, got it?" and with the girls laughing and the guys cat-calling, he 'ported them to Ali's room.
