A few days later while Rachel was walking to Glee her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Berry this is Dr. Mathison. I'm really sorry dear but our tests thast we took last week show that you have Stage 1 Lukemia."

"What!" Rachel cried.

"The good news is I think we've caught it in time. Could you come over today after school so we can discuss this in detail."

"Yes," Rachel said.

A few minutes later Rachel sat down and began to cry.

"Rachel!" Kurt's alarmed voice startled her, "What's wrong?"

"I...I... I have...cancer, Kurt." she managed to stutter.

"Oh, no!" he cried hugging her tightly, " You're gonna be fine I swear! Is there anything I can do?"

"hold me." she sobbed.

"For as long as you need me."

"Tighter!" she wailed into his chest.

"Shh..Shh...I'm here Princess...Thou wilt be all right...Thou wilt live to be my queen." Kurt easily slipped into their game, wanting them both to forget.

"I'm scared my prince."

"Don't be..I will be with thee the whole way."

"Doest thou swear it?"

"Yes."

She looked into Kurt's sea blue eyes and saw that he was on the verge of tears as well.

"Do not cry my prince," she murmured stroking his face " As thou hast said I will be all right."

He smiled "Can I kiss you my lady?"

"There is no more need for thou to ask, I will let thee."

That was all Kurt needed to hear, his lips touched hers gently.

It didn't take long for the kiss to become more heated, Kurt's hands gripped her sides while Rachels tangled in his hair.

Of course they had kissed during their games but this was not two young royals, this was Kurt Hummel the school gay, kissing Rachel Berry the annoying diva as if his life depended on it. Which right now it did. Rachel was slowly dying there in his arms, he wanted to keep her there. It was selfish of him but somehow he didn't care. If she died it would be a matter of hours before he joined her in heaven where they could never part. Dispite hismelf he had fallen in love with her. She was his lifeline!

After a few minutes he pulled away and smiled.

"Rachel Lea Berry, hear me out and don't laugh. I have fallen deeply deeply in love with you, over the past...well...year I suppose. I love your beauty, your passion, your attitude..I shouldn't love you. I mean I am gay, but there's something about you that draws me in. I love you so much!" he took a deep breath " Rachel please say something."

"I love you too Kurtis Christopher Hummel. I think I have for a 's just when I'm with Finn I feel like something's missing. But when I'm with you I feel cfomplete. You complete me, if that makes any sense. And you love me for me, which I truely appreciate. If only we had known sooner..."

"Shh... We know now Babe. And I will be with you the whole way! We will get you better, and then we will be together." Kurt kissed her again.

Little did the lovebirds know that Finn Hudson was watching and thinking 'WHAT THE HELL!"
