Chapter 10
A week later, Kurt was in bed lying down after he had spent the night throwing up. Noah had got the kids up and ready for school so Kurt could sleep a little longer.
When he woke up Kurt went to shower, hoping that it would make him feel better. While he was washing his hair and rinsing the shampoo out he saw hair, and a lot of it, washing down the drain.
When the shampoo was rinsed out he ran his fingers through his hair. He came away with a handful of hair. He knew this would happen, so he didn't know why he was crying. He finished his shower, headed in to the bedroom, and sat on the bed in his towel.
After all the kids were at school Noah went upstairs to see if Kurt wanted anything to eat. Noah had got up every time Kurt threw up, but he wasn't as tired since he was used to late nights when working the night shift at the hospital. When he got to the room he saw Kurt just sitting on the bed with tears rolling down his face and a handful full of hair.
"Princess, you need to get to dressed." Noah said gently, getting the sweatpants and t shirt that Kurt had started to wear. His normal clothes were no longer comfortable on his sore skin. Kurt's skin had started to get dry and his clothes rubbed on it making it sore.
"My hair." Kurt sobbed. This was the worst part of this whole illness, losing his hair. He had always prided himself on his hair. It was his one of his best features and he didn't want to lose it.
Noah helped him get dressed then held the smaller man as he cried.
"Princess just think of the scarves you'll be able to design and wear!" Noah said hoping to stop the tears. Kurt slowly stopped crying and thought about Noah had said.
"Scarves?" Kurt asked almost shyly.
"Yes Princess, scarves." Noah said almost laughing at the way that Kurt's eyes lit up at the thought of the scarves he could design and wear. Noah was happy he could help Kurt find a small bright side to this side effect of his illness.
"How about on the weekend I take the girls and go get you things for you scarves? That way you and the boys can have some mother and sons time." Noah asked hoping to keep the light in his Princess' eyes.
Theo and Toby were still being picked on by the school bully even though their teacher had, had a word with Tommy. The bully continued picking on the twins. So Noah and Kurt had decided that Kurt would try and spend as much time with them as he could, to show that he wasn't going anywhere.
"Yes please." Kurt said, kissing his thoughtful husband. He was already so bored, so making his scarves would hopefully make his boredom go away.
Laura was still very young, so she didn't understand what was going on and neither did her friends. So she wasn't being picked on as much. She knew that Mommy was ill but he would get better.
Noah and Kurt spent the day relaxing. Even though Kurt sill felt a little nauseous he didn't throw up. Noah spent the day studying while Kurt designed his scarves in one of his many sketch books.
Noah spent all day looking after his Princess. Just like he had for the last 19 years; he liked looking after Kurt. He just hoped he got another 19 years and more to do it.
