Doctor Edmondson arrived to see Kurt shortly after breakfast the following morning as scheduled. Kurt, who had never been one to hold back spoke to him about the huge transition he'd made moving from Lima to NYC, about his friends and how much he missed them, about Chandler, about NYU and Sebastian, about his dad's heart attack, about Blaine's dad and finally about Blaine. He talked about how they had gotten back together, about them moving in together about how utterly amazing Blaine was and then about the Halloween party. Dr Edmondson had seen Blaine and Kurt together the previous day and listening to Kurt talk about Blaine he could easily tell that they were crazy in love and very passionate about one another, this alone suggested to him the suicide attempt had indeed been accidental. Just the blissful look that came across Kurt Hummel's face when he spoke of Blaine Anderson was enough so the doctor focused their discussion on the Halloween party.

Kurt's dream had prompted his memory of the events that had transpired that night. He told the doctor about the drinking and the dancing and how he had attempted to fight Sebastian off but somehow as his confused alcoholic haze took over he thought he was with Blaine. The psychiatrist looked concerned. "I'm not sure that you realize Kurt that what you are describing is actually sexual assault. You were coerced under false pretenses and touched without consent. You are well within your rights to have that young man charged if you wish." Kurt suddenly felt sick. It was the first time he had looked at the incident in that light and he suddenly felt ashamed and violated. The doctor immediately noticed the change in Kurt and quickly reassured him suggesting that they wait and continue their discussion when Blaine, if willing, could be present for support. The nurse was asked to page Dr Edmondson when Blaine arrived after school.

Kurt spent the day in bed chatting with his dad, Carole and Finn. Much to Carole's delight the boys sang numerous songs together to pass the time. Kurt hadn't realized how much he had missed them all and Hudmel family time. Finn was enjoying the army even though it was very physically demanding. The early mornings and having to be so tidy was killing him though, he had told Kurt. Kurt laughed. Finn was headed back to base that night now that he knew that his brother from another mother was going to be ok. He was trying to make the most of the time he had left with Kurt considering how lucky he had been to be able to get leave and that they had no idea when they might get together again. Kurt was sad to see him leave but was expecting to be discharged from hospital the next day anyway depending on how the afternoon therapy with Blaine went. Carole and Burt were planning to spend his first night back at the apartment with him in case Blaine needed any support then they would head back to Lima the day after that. Blaine had been so strong through all of this. Both Burt and Carole were astonished at how he had put Kurt before himself even after the incident at the party and by the maturity the young boy was showing. They both loved Blaine like a son and hoped that the boys would be strong enough to stay together.

After huge man hugs and promises to Skype more often Burt and Carole accompanied Finn to the airport that afternoon while Kurt and Blaine had therapy with the psychiatrist. Kurt talked openly to Blaine for the first time about the incident with Sebastian Smythe and Blaine expressed his distaste for Sebastian and what he saw. They held each other tearfully, lovingly lending support to each other as the doctor looked on, admiring their bond. Blaine felt terrible. "I owe you an apology Baby, I jumped to conclusions, I know you love me and you know I love you. I should have given you a chance to explain. You have to admit the evidence was pretty damning and I was just so crazy jealous when I saw him touching you like that. I couldn't think straight. He was lucky he disappeared quickly or I would have killed him." "It's ok sweetie" Kurt assured Blaine "I know how bad it looked and I had no memory of it initially to be able to explain it. Alcohol and I aren't a good mix. You must know though that I would never cheat on you especially with some one like Sebastian. You are my world baby, I nearly lost you once through my own selfish stupidity. I won't make that mistake again. I love you so much Baby."

Dr . Edmondson spoke to them about the issue of sexual assault, about available support services and the possibility of pressing charges. Kurt was against it from the start as he just wanted to put the whole icky incident behind him, Sebastian was kind of a friend and it was nonviolent and hadn't progressed very far. "I support you Kurt in whatever you decide sweetie, but I think you may be right. That asshole has been punished enough" Blaine suggested. Both Kurt and the doctor looked confused. "I haven't told Kurt yet because I didn't want to worry him but the day he was admitted Sebastian came here to visit. He was mouthing at me and we got into a rather heated physical altercation. He has numerous injuries including some broken bones and I'm guessing he may want to press charges against me." Kurt's mouth gaped open. He was shocked. "Baby, you fought for my honor? I'm so touched. That's so romantic. You are like my knight in shining armor. Blaine you shouldn't have done that. You weren't hurt we're you babe?" Blaine puffed out his chest proudly and smiled. "Just a few scratches. He fights like a girl. And anyway he had it coming. No one touches my man but me." They smiled their special Klaine smile. The therapist grimaced. He couldn't condone assault but couldn't help feeling that just maybe that the Smythe kid had got exactly what he deserved.

Blaine kissed Kurt tenderly after the doctor left the room and snuggled up on Kurt's bed beside him, making sure not to get tangled in his drip. They softly whispered sweet words of love to each other as they laid butterfly kisses on each other's faces. For Blaine it felt so good to be close to his man again. He had had trouble sleeping at home without Kurt. Their huge king size bed had felt so empty without someone to spoon with as fell asleep. He had missed his beautiful boy so much that it hurt. There were so many special little things he had taken for granted since they had begun living together and Blaine had missed them all. He wanted Kurt to come home now. Sebastian had assaulted Kurt and Kurt needed his love, support and compassion now more than ever. They needed to be together. Blaine felt terrible that he had misread the situation so badly but he knew the truth now. He had heard from both Kurt and Sebastian on separate occasions. Blaine loved Kurt and was trying so desperately to trust him. He was confident they could work through this together. For Kurt he finally felt safe again. Nothing and no one could hurt him while he was in Blaine's embrace. When Carole and Burt returned from the airport the boys were asleep in the hospital bed wrapped sweetly in one another's arms. It was a sight to behold.

Blaine wasn't home from school when Burt and Carole and Kurt got home from the hospital. Kurt was exhausted. He'd had a very intense two hour therapy session with Doctor Edmondson before he could be discharged and he felt very sleep deprived. Hospitals were noisy and interruptions we frequent so proper sleep was hard to come by. Kurt excused himself hugged both Carole and Burt and went to bed. He hugged Blaine's pillow as he always did for comfort when he slept alone and was sound asleep in minutes. He woke hours later with Blaine sitting beside him on the bed watching him adoringly smiling. "Oh baby, you look so adorable all sleepy eyed cuddling my pillow" Blaine teased him. "I'd rather cuddle you" Kurt retorted. "Really?" Blaine raised an eyebrow still teasing. "It's so good to have you home Kurt. It's been a rough two weeks" he added more seriously. "It's good to be home. I love you Blaine Anderson." "And I love you too Kurt Hummel." They smiled as Blaine fell into Kurt's arms. "So are you still sure about the less fucking thing?" Kurt joked. "No, I'm not" Blaine laughed "but the way you scream we might be better to wait until your dad isn't downstairs. We don't want him coming up here because he thinks I'm killing you." They laughed and kissed softly.

Cooper and Rachel arrived home an hour later and the boys were called down stairs for dinner. Carole had prepared an amazing meal of grilled fish and salad for dinner. "Carole this is delicious. I've missed your cooking." Kurt complimented her. Blaine smiled as he looked around the table at the five most important people in his life. "You'll be pleased to know then Kurt that Carole has been cooking all week and our freezer is full of casseroles." Kurt giggled and squealed in glee running around the table to hug Carole. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," "You are welcome sweetheart. I worry about you boys here on your own." Carole teared up. After fresh fruit salad for dessert Rachel and Carole cleaned the kitchen while the boys chose a movie. "I'm sorry Carole if this is awkward for you, me being with Cooper, I mean." "It's ok sweetheart" "I did love Finn so much. I would have married him." Carole hugged Rachel. "It's ok Rachel. You were both way too young for such a huge commitment. You seem happy and you should be happy, Finn is happy in his new life and Cooper Anderson is a lovely boy just like his brother. If he makes you happy just go and be happy." Rachel hugged Carole and they joined the boys on the sofas
