Now I know the original of this chapter was way longer but trust me, there is a good reason for my madness. LOL. You will see as you keep reading. I just felt that most of the stuff towards the end of this chapter could be in the next one. You'll see what I mean when I get to it.
Enjoy.
A few days later, Lucy was able to leave the hospital. The babies on the other hand, needed to stay several more weeks, maybe even months. Blaine was helping Lucy pack up her room, where she had stayed while on bed rest. After being in the hospital for so long, Lucy was more than ready to go home.
"Ready to go Lucy?" asked Kurt, pushing in a wheelchair.
"Yes, but I want to see the babies before I leave." Lucy insisted, as she sat down in the chair.
Kurt and Blaine smiled at her.
"I think we can arrange that." said Blaine.
Kurt pushed Lucy into the NICU, with Blaine by her side. Kurt pushed Lucy over to Devon's isolate first. Lucy placed her hand on the window.
"Bye my little boy. I love you so much. I'll be back as soon as I can." Lucy said with tears in her eyes. Kurt moved her to each isolate to say goodbye. Each one became harder and harder for Lucy, but when she came to Mackenzie, the tears that were threatening to fall, came out like a waterfall.
"I love you so much Mackenzie Rose." Lucy sniffled. "You're going to be ok. You have to be. Even though you're the smallest, I know you'll be ok. I love you so much!" Lucy kissed her hand and placed it on the window.
Kurt and Blaine wiped their eyes. Seeing Lucy having to say goodbye to the babies she had carried for so long, was just as hard for them.
"You ready to go home?" Blaine whispered.
Lucy nodded, wiping the tears from her face. Kurt pushed her out of the NICU and out of the hospital. Kurt waited with Lucy at the entrance, while Blaine went to get the car. He could tell his sister-in-law was upset at having to leave.
"It's ok. You can come see them whenever you want." Kurt stated, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Lucy nodded. "I know."
Blaine pulled up and Kurt helped Lucy into the backseat of the car. Once she was in, Kurt hopped in the front seat and Blaine drove to their new house.
The drive was silent and soon Blaine pulled into the driveway.
Lucy looked out of the window, clearly confused. "Blaine? What are we doing here?" she asked.
Blaine looked at Kurt.
"I thought you would stay with us until you for a while." he suggested. "You know, just until you felt like going back to your apartment."
Lucy shook her head. "I'd actually like to go to my place." she insisted.
Blaine sighed. "Lucy, I know it's going to be hard for you right now, but-"
Lucy cut him off. "Blaine, please, take me back to my apartment."
Blaine nodded. "Ok." he said, as he put the car in reverse and drove to Lucy's apartment.
Blaine and Kurt got out of the car and helped Lucy up to the third floor. She dug the keys out of her bag and unlocked the door.
"Where do you want your bags?" asked Kurt.
Lucy shook her head. "Anywhere, I don't care."
"Are you ok here by yourself?" Blaine asked.
Lucy shrugged. "I think I am."
"You know, we can stay as long as you want." Kurt insisted.
Lucy shook her head. "I think I just need some time to myself."
Kurt nodded. "Ok, but call us if you need anything. Even if its at 2:00 in the morning." he said giving Lucy a hug.
"Thanks Kurt." she whispered.
"Bye Lucy." said Blaine, as he gave his little sister a hug.
"See you later Blaine." replied Lucy.
Blaine laughed. "See you later sis."
Lucy smiled slightly as Blaine and Kurt left, closing the door behind them.
"I hope she's ok." Blaine said, as they got into the car.
Kurt nodded. "I'm sure she'll be fine. She'll call us if needs anything. Lucy's a smart woman."
Blaine nodded, agreeing with his husband.
"Now, can we go back to the hospital and see our babies, please?" Kurt pleaded.
Blaine laughed. "Yes, let's go see the babies."
