Present Day

It took Blaine a few minutes to get Kurt to calm down and stop trying to drag him to the car, but finally they were sitting on the front step, Kurt leaning against Blaine and one of Blaine's arms settled around his shoulders holding him up. Or that's how it felt to Kurt, who was pretty sure he would fall through the cracks if Blaine ever let go.

In stuttering sentences, Kurt managed to tell Blaine everything that happened. It was only when he was finished that he realized Blaine was at his house. He pulled away, keeping his fingers entwined with Blaine's hand that hadn't been around his shoulder. "Why are you here, anyway?"

"I was already on my way to the Lima Bean when you texted and you sounded so upset. I wanted to make sure you were okay. I can leave if you want me to. It's just…I worry about you, Kurt." His expression was apologetic and Kurt leaned over to kiss the worry off his lips.

"No. It's perfect. You're perfect."

"You're pretty perfect yourself." Blaine said, swinging his knees slightly and hitting Kurt's gently. They sat for a few moments in silence, as close together as they could get without actually sitting on each other's lap.

"So what are you going to do?" Blaine broke the silence, tilting his head towards the house just enough so Kurt knew what he was talking about. As if he could forget.

"She's horrible. But…" He trailed off, eyes looking at the lawn like grass was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen. He couldn't believe he was even considering this. She'd abandoned him. She was an alcoholic. She put herself in this situation.

"But she's you're mom." Blaine finished. Kurt shook his head.

"She isn't my mother." How often had he said those words? "What would you do?"

"I can't make the decision for you," Blaine said. Kurt said nothing and Blaine sighed. "I wouldn't do it. I can't even begin understand how you feel, but if it was me, I wouldn't be able to do it. She's asking you to give her an organ, Kurt. The recovery would be weeks. Then you'd have to catch back up in school, and it's your senior year when you can't afford to fall behind."

Blaine's answer shocked Kurt slightly. Kurt had assumed, after how much effort Blaine put in to urging Kurt to reach out to Emily, he would be all for going to get the test. Also, hearing the reasoning out loud, it made Kurt reevaluate his own thoughts and his own reasons.

"Want to meet her?" Kurt asked, suddenly. He stood up, lacking his usual spring, and held a hand out to his boyfriend. Blaine took his hand and stood.

"Does she know…?"

"I mentioned you, but there really hasn't been much time for a reunion. What with the showing up out of the blue and stalking me around Lima." His tone was light, and his smile was a little less forced. He'd made up his mind for better or for worse. With Blaine's hand in his, he walked back in the house.
