Blaine tossed and turned most of the night. He got up to check on Sebastian at various points but Sebastian appeared to be asleep, obviously wiped out from the day. Blaine finally managed to fall asleep but ended up waking up to the rising sun. He made his way to the kitchen and made himself the coffee, before crashing on the sofa a bit longer. He needed a distraction. He grabbed the TV remote and flicked the TV on, noting Sebastian only had the basic channels. He put the news on quietly in the background before wandering around Sebastian's small apartment. He noticed a book that caught his attention 'Unusual occurrences in the Body'. Intrigued he picked it up and started reading through the Index. He saw a chapter entitled 'The Male Pregnancy'. Blaine was further intrigued. Men could get pregnant?
'Though rare male pregnancies have been documented in the course of history, though many have been passed off at other things thought to be tumours and cysts. Until 5 years ago if a male was pregnant, the doctor would do an abortion as the child would be unable to make it without putting the male carrier at risk. Advancements in science have found out that some babies are able to make it, with the male having a C section, rather than the baby being born the natural way." Blaine didn't get to read anymore as he heard Sebastian moving around. He shut the book before knocking on the door
"Morning Sebastian. Coffee is ready if you want some" Blaine called
"I don't drink coffee anymore Blaine" Sebastian answered
"OK what do you drink?" Blaine asked
"I'll get it when I come out" Sebastian responded
"You need to stay in bed. SO follow doctors orders and let me look after you for the day" Blaine knew it was a long shot but it was worth a try.
"I don't need a babysitter." Sebastian complained
"Then how about a friend" Blaine answered quietly
He heard movement through the door and it cracked open a little
"Fine. But sofa, not bedroom." Sebastian said as a compromise
"Deal. Now what would you like?" Blaine asked
"Herbal tea, lemon mint. I normally do scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast" Sebastian said
"Good thing I can cook" Blaine answered with a smile
"Sure" answered Sebastian
"So did you sleep OK last night" Blaine asked when he had cooked the food.
"Yeah the same as always. So how is the life of Blaine Anderson going?" Sebastian asked
"I am doing OK. Still doing my music..." Blaine answered
"What about Kurt?" Sebastian asked
Blaine looked down and in that moment Sebastian suddenly understood when Blaine had said he was no longer with us.
"I'm sorry Blaine, I mean I wasn't his biggest fan but..." Sebastian started
"Yeah. His moved onto a 'better' place" Blaine sounded bitter
"There no better place than Blaine's arms" Sebastian said in a moment of spontaneity
"Huh?" Blaine said
"Why do people say that? I mean surely a better place for someone is with the people they love, not whatever is in the sky or whatever you believe" Sebastian moaned making Blaine smile
"I never thought of it like that. Yeah I mean I am doing OK, trying to just get by at the moment, it's an improvement to a few months ago when I found it difficult to leave the house. It was a car accident and..." Blaine trailed off
"And what Blaine" Sebastian said
"Our surrogate was pregnant. She lost the baby..." Blaine trailed off
"Oh Shit. Blaine I am sorry" Sebastian felt his heart break for Blaine. Blaine had always been so gentle and loving. Sebastian could just imagine him with a baby. How would Blaine react to his news? Would he be hurt? Disgusted? Angry? I mean if Blaine couldn't have a baby why should someone as self centred at Sebastian deserve a child? Sebastian suddenly jolted when he realised, he'd been thinking about Blaine and feeling sorry for him. He cautiously hugged Blaine, a new sensation. Hugs had never really been Hunter's thing.
"How long..." Sebastian began
"3 months..." Blaine said through tears and Sebastian just held him.
"Wow." Was all Sebastian could say
"Yeah, so that's my story..." Blaine finished
Sebastian gently released Blaine and looked into his eyes. He saw the tears but also the relief
"That's heavy stuff Blaine...do you mind if I...uh take a shower?" Sebastian asked
"A shower?" Blaine asked confused but slightly amused that was what Sebastian could come up with
"I'm sorry, I just, need to think...and...Uh..." Sebastian was cursing himself. He was never this in-articulate.
"It's OK.I know it's a lot to take in...I do hope you aren't going to leave me hanging. I really hope you'll be able to tell your story..." Blaine asked
"I promise Blaine. After I shower, I'll tell you..." Sebastian said walking to his bathroom
Sebastian cursed himself as he left. He was no good at handling feelings and knew some might see it as uncaring that he chose to have a shower rather than comfort Blaine. But Sebastian felt he was giving Blaine a little time to get himself together and time to organsie his thoughts, How could he mention the baby now? Blaine still looked heartbroken. Would it hurt more to tell him, or would it be better to lie, then get out of his life so he never knows. His grandma had always told him that he would know what to do when the moment arrived. The one adult who had looked after Sebastian and saw some good in him, when all his parents seemed to see was darkness. After the shower he would decide, whether he was going to tell Blaine or not but for now, he would just let it rest and try to work out in his head if eh did tell Blaine, how was he going to do it.

Next time will Sebastian tell Blaine the truth?
