Chapter 11
Every day for the next week, Kurt woke up with hair on his pillow. This caused him to spend an hour in the bathroom crying before Noah talked him out by telling that he would still love the smaller man when he had no hair and that he was still beautiful.
On Saturday, Noah took the girls to the mall so they could get the material for the scarves and things Kurt and the family could make them special with. Kurt had said during the week that he wanted everyone in the family to customize one of his scarves. Noah knew that their children would love doing it.
Kurt walked in to the living room to find his twins watching their Saturday morning cartoons. The twins had their own personalities but the same Saturday morning cartoons were liked by both. So there were never any fights.
"Morning pumpkins!" Kurt said, sitting down on the sofa and smiling as both twins ran to him. They sat next to him on the sofa for a cuddle. They had missed their Mommy.
Their Dad had told them that their Mom was losing his hair. So they weren't too shocked when they saw him. They hadn't seen a lot of their Mom in the past week. Kurt was always still sleeping when they got up for school and usually in bed when they got home. So they were very pleased that they were having a Mommy and twins day.
"Morning Mommy!" they said together cheerfully, as they cuddled on the sofa. When they were told that they were having the Mommy and twins day, they had got together and decided what they wanted to do with their Mom. The one thing they wanted most was to bake chocolate chip cookies.
"So what shall we do today?" Kurt asked. He was enjoying the hug they were having on the sofa. It didn't take any energy which was good because Kurt didn't have a lot of it.
"Do you feel well enough to help us bake some cookies?" Toby asked. He liked baking and he wanted to be a chef with his own cook book out one day.
"Yes and no. How about you two can do everything you can without my help, and I'll watch? Mommy doesn't have a lot of energy today, but that won't stop us from having fun." Kurt said. Kurt had missed baking with his children as much as they had missed it.
Soon they were in the kitchen. Theo and Toby were carefully weighing and mixing so they didn't make a lot of mess so Kurt didn't have to worry about cleaning up. The only things Kurt had to do were putting the oven on, putting the dough in, and taking it out. Kurt loved that his boys at how thoughtful they were.
When Noah and the girls got back from the mall, the cookies were baked and cooling and the twins and Kurt were watching the Toy Story trilogy on the sofa cuddled up again.
Noah could tell that they had, had a good day and that the twins had enjoyed the day with their Mommy. Truth be told, he had liked spending the day with his girls. Caleb may have been his first born but Elizabeth and Laura were Daddies little girls.
Earlier at the mall
Noah drove to the mall to spend the day with his girls and he was looking forward to it.
"Dad…how is Mom doing?" Elizabeth asked as they drove to the mall. She knew that Kurt was throwing up in the night after the latest chemo session and he had very little energy.
Noah looked in the review mirror to see if Laura was listening but she had head out her newest book. She was just like Toby, always had her head in a book or drawing like her Mommy.
"His hair has started to fall out." Noah said, trying not to cry.
"Is that the reason for the shopping trip?" Elizabeth asked. For the rest of the drive Noah told her of his idea for the scarves and Kurt's wish. Elizabeth smiled. Her dad could be so thoughtful sometimes.
Present time
Noah smiled at the site of Kurt and the twins watching movies and the smell of fresh cookies on the air. It was like Kurt had never gotten cancer. But the shopping bags in his hand reminded him that his Princess was ill, and he could lose him so easily. Noah wiped that thought out of his head. He wasn't going to lose his Princess. They were going to have many, many years together!
