A/N Despite my on going prayers and personal delusions I do not own Glee.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Nothing could have prepared Blaine for the sight he walked in on. There were machines everywhere, Kurt was hooked up to an observation trolley, an IV, there were four other machines that Blaine had no idea what they did, and a foetal Doppler to the side of the room. In the centre of the crowded room was Kurt. "Oh, God." Blaine said placing his hands over his mouth. He stumbled back a few steps.
He prayed that it was not Kurt in the bed, that it was not his boyfriend attached to all of those machines, that it was not Kurt who had been bashed and bruised for walking down the hall, that it was not his child that had been in danger earlier.
Blaine gingerly walked towards Kurt. He picked up the boys hand and whispered. "I'm so sorry baby."

The New Directions began to gather in the choir room. But a few people noticed the missing members.
"Hey where's Mercedes?" Tina asked looking around the choir room.
"Yeah? And where is Klaine?" Artie chimed in.
"Klaine?" Rachael questioned.
"Yeah. Kurt plus Blaine equals Klaine." Artie smiled.
The group laughed in unison.
That is when Mercedes enters the room. The laughing haltered when they saw her expression.
"Mercedes what's wrong?" Quinn asked.
"Yeah Mercedes you look like you have seen a ghost." Finn added.
"Finn can I talk to outside for a moment?" Mercedes said quietly.
Finn got up when he saw the urgency in her eyes. He followed her closely as they exited the room.
"Finn. I need you to drive Lima Memorial and go to the sixth floor and go to Ward 6B north. Your parents will be waiting for you." Mercedes said calmly.
"What? Lima Memorial? Why? What happened?" Finn was confused.
"Finn…It's Kurt." Mercedes said looking him in the eyes. "Look. Azimio and Karofsky jumped us and he threw Kurt on the floor and kicked him. Then he started to bleed and they took him to Lima Memorial for observation. But he is okay."
Finn didn't move.
"Finn?" Mercedes questioned.
"Did he tell you anything?" Finn said very straightly.
"Yes. I ah, found out about the…um…secret. And it is fine too, very healthy." Mercedes confirmed.
"I….I…I….." Finn couldn't speak. He stood confused until the realization set it. "You said 6B north right?" Finn asked.
"Yeah. 6B north." Mercedes confirmed. Finn looked towards the choir room. Mercedes understood what he meant.
"Go. You go. I'll tell them." She said shooing him towards the door. Finn ran out top speed.
Mercedes looked at the choir room, took a deep breath and walked in.

Blaine was holding Kurt's hand when he noticed that Kurt's expression had gone from peaceful to restless. He started to move in the bed and Blaine noticed one of the machines started to beep a little faster.
"Kurt honey? Kurt can you hear me?" Blaine said as he stood to move closer to the now awakening boy.
"Kurt baby? Kurt open your eyes sweetie. It's okay." Blaine said still holding Kurt's hand with one hand and using the other to gently brush Kurt's hair away from his face.
"B….Blaine?" Kurt said softly struggling in his bed. "No…no school Blaine….to early for school..." Kurt said trying to roll over.
Blaine laughed a little. "Kurt I need you to try and not move so much baby. Okay? I'm going to get someone okay? Just hold tight." Blaine grabbed the nurse call buzzer and pressed it.
"Blaine…..come back to bed." Kurt said trying to move over in the hospital bed. Kurt winced when he tried to move a stabbing pain radiating though his abdomen, his eyes flew open and looked around the unfamiliar setting.
"Blaine? Blaine where am I? What is happening?" Kurt looked scared. He tried to move closer to Blaine but felt the same stabbing pain, so he pulled Blaine down to him. To add to Kurt's confusion two nurses came bursting into the room.
"Hello Mr. Hummel. I am Anna and this is Mallory we will be the nurses looking after you tonight." The younger nurse said with a smile as the older nurse began to organize equipment.
"No no no no no" Kurt whimpered as he pulled Blaine even closer to him. He looked terrified, his big blue eyes started to fill with tears.
"Kurt baby. You are in the hospital. These are nurses. Everything is okay." Blaine said trying to sooth him.
"Hospital? Why? Oh my God. The baby. Something happened didn't it? I lost the baby." Kurt began to cry.
Blaine looked at the nurses for help. "Mr. Hummel you were brought here from school with a minor hemorrhage but everything is fine. I can assure you that you and the baby are both healthy." The younger nurse said trying to comfort the boy.
Kurt was still crying hysterically, it broke Blaine's heart so see him like that. The younger nurse tried to tell him that the baby was fine but it wasn't getting through. Blaine was stroking his hair trying to calm him down but nothing was working.
The older nurse just roller her eyes and grabbed the fetal Doppler from a near by shelf. She placed some of the gel on the top of the Doppler a looked at Blaine as if to say 'keep him distracted'.
"Kurt baby look at me. Kurt look at me." Blaine said as he placed his hands on either side of the younger boys face. Kurt was looking at him, tear streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry Blaine. I'm so sorry. I lost our baby. I'm sorry." Kurt said through the sobs.
While this was happening the older nurse had moved closer to Kurt without him noticing. She gingerly pulled down the blanket was covering Kurt's abdomen, and then she lifted up his shirt very gently. Blaine was hugging Kurt who had his face buried into Blaine's neck still sobbing and apologizing.
Kurt flinched and moved away from Blaine as soon as the Doppler made contact with his pale skin. Kurt was going to yell at her, scream, but all of those emotions were cut off but the loud and stable heartbeat that filled the room.
Kurt's sobs haltered as soon as he heard that heartbeat. He looked at Blaine who had a smile on his face that made Kurt smile. The two sat there holding hands listening to the heartbeat for a few minuets until the older nurse began to speak.
"Better?" Kurt nodded. "Okay." She turned the Doppler off and wiped the gel off Kurt stomach. "Now as Anna was saying, you were brought here from McKinley High with a small hemorrhage. We are going to keep you here for the next three or four days just for observation." She said kindheartedly.
"Sorry about my little meltdown." Kurt said looking down. "I was just scared."
"Oh don't worry almost every prenatal woman that comes in here has the same reaction." Mallory said with a smile as Kurt blushed scarlet.
"Now. Sorry to be serious but the police will be coming by in the next hour for a statement from you, they already spoke to your friend and um visiting hours will end at six. But since you are only seventeen and you have a private room we'll allow someone to spend the night. Well that's it for us; we will see you at sevenish for observations." Anna said sweetly as both of the nurses walked out of the room.
Kurt and Blaine just smiled at each other until the door flew open again taking both of them by surprise.

When Mercedes walked back into the choir room the conversation had turned to why there was an ambulance at the school today.
"Five bucks said coach Sylvester finally killed a student." Puck said as Mr. Shue walked into the choir room. He had heard what had happened and gently touched Mercedes' shoulder, as he went to sit down.
"Okay people." Mercedes said after whistling to get their attention. "I have some news about Kurt." Mercedes took a deep breath. "Okay that ambulance was for Kurt." Everyone in the club stopped talking; some placed their hand over their face. "Azimio and Karofsky jumped us when we were walking to the library. Karofsky threw Kurt on to the floor and kicked him…in the stomach."
Quinn had the first reaction as she knew he was pregnant. "Oh, god." She said placing her hands over her face. Rachel looked as if she were about to vomit and Sam just started to cry silently.
For the glee club members who had not yet heard the news they didn't understand what the big deal was.
"Why would they call an ambulance for that?" Puck queried.
"Yeah, if Karofsky just kicked him around a bit they wouldn't need an ambulance." Santana added.
"He was…..is pregnant you morons" Sam spat out.
That's when the reactions came. Brittney didn't finch. Tina covered her face. Mike was saying "Oh god. Oh god" repeatedly." The rest of the members Artie, Puck and Santana were laughing until they noticed the others reactions.
"Oh shit" Puck let out. "I didn't even know that could happen. Oh Fuck"
Santana just covered her mouth and Artie when stark white and looked as he was about to pass out.
Quinn was the next to speak "Is he okay? Is the baby okay?" She managed to say without bawling.
"Did he go into labor?" Rachel asked.
"Did he lose the baby?" Sam questioned.
Then all of the New Direction's yelling questions at Mercedes simultaneously.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guy's just let her speak." Mr. Shue said trying to control the crowd.
"They are both fine. The doctor is keeping Kurt at Lima Memorial for the next three or four days." Mercedes said calmly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Kurt would be okay.
"Jeez Mercedes couldn't you have lead with that. You almost gave me a heart attack." Sam said with a smile.
The room began to laugh including Mercedes.
"When can we visit?" Quinn asked.
"Umm well he just got admitted so maybe tomorrow after school at the earliest. But it would probably be better to wait until Saturday." Mercedes verified.
"We should go as a group and surprise him?" Tina suggested.
"Yeah, we could sing something." Artie added.
"Good idea guys." Mr. Shue said as he walked over to the whiteboard. "This week's assignment is to think of a song to sing to Kurt." He said as he wrote Kurt's name on the board.
