Chapter 8

A desperate groan escaped Kurt's lips as he woke up to the sound of Cory screaming again, shortly after the angry sounds of Ariella being woken from her slumber sounded round the house too. Kurt rushed out of bed and ran to the twins bedroom. Ariella was standing in her cot screaming from the top of her lungs now whilst Cory was laying on his back, his screams having died down to almost pathetic little whimpers.

"Cory. It okay baby." Kurt said as he walked over to him, he picked him up and frowned. "Oh god you're hot." Kurt said trying to keep the panic hidden. Kurt held him close not liking how his whimpers were getting louder. Why did Cory have to be sick when Blaine was at a conference? Kurt shook his head and grabbed the thermometer. When he saw how high his sons temperature was he rushed to the living room doing the only thing he could think of and phone an ambulance.

"Daddy what's going on?" Devon asked, his hair was a mess and his pyjamas all twisted.

"Cory is feeling a little sick so I'm taking him to the doctors. Aunty Rachel is on her way to watch you and Ariella." Kurt said softly. He had never been more grateful that his best friend lived only a few minutes away. It had been five minutes since Kurt called for the ambulance, he had done everything they said taking everything off of Cory to try and reduce the fever but e hated the way his breath was coming in short gasps and the way his body was trembling violently.

"I need you to be brave okay? Cory will be okay and you need to be a big brother and look after Ari" Kurt whispered.

"I can do that." Devon said softly. His eyes transfixed to Cory. He rushed over to him and took his hand, "you be okay Cory." Devon said tearfully. The minute Cory heard Devon's voice he stopped crying so loudly and looked up at his brother. "Daddy is scared. So you need to be okay."

Kurt's heart broke as h listened to his son. The door went and Kurt rushed to answer it, relief flooding through him when he saw a tired looking Rachel on the door step and the ambulance pull up.

"Ariella is in the nursery, she's just fallen back to sleep. Devon is with Cory." Kurt whispered. He rushed back into the living room and smiled sadly as Devon sung a song to Cory to calm him down.

Once the Paramedics were with Cory, Rachel took Devon to his bedroom, knowing he would only be scared if he saw them treat Cory.

"Devon I'm going to the doctors with Cory now, remember to be brave. I'll phone you soon okay?" Kurt whispered.

"Kay." Devon nodded hugging his dad tightly. "Give Cory a kiss from me."

"Of course I will. And you give Ari one from me."

"Course." Devon nodded wiping his eyes quickly, he was brave he shouldn't cry.

The ride to the hospital was one of the most scariest experiences Kurt will ever remember. He was sat on a wobbly plastic chair, one hand desperately holding on as the other held onto Cory's shaking one. Cory had an oxygen mask that looked too big on his face and he was desperately trying to claw off.

Kurt remembered answering questions, stupid questions that Kurt knew e would have to answer at least ten times today. When did he notice something was wrong? Has he shown signs of being I'll lately? Is he normally a healthy baby? Kurt answered all of the questions shakily. All he could think about was how much he needed Blaine with him.

Everything passed in a blur from the ambulance to getting in the hospital. Cory was taken into the emergency room and Kurt was left to pace the waiting rooms. He needed to be with his son right now and no matter how much begging and pleading the doctors left him outside.

Kurt grabbed his cell from his pocket with shaky hands. Calling Blaine would probably be one of the hardest things he's ever done.

It was the middle of the night and Kurt knew there was a chance that Blaine might not even answer. After the fifth ring a very sleepy Blaine answered. "Kurt what is it?"

Kurt took a shaky breath, he had no idea what to say. "Blaine..."

"Baby what's wrong?" Kurt could tell that Blaine was more awake now, more alert, he knew something was wrong.

"It's Cory, he's in the hospital. He was really hot, and he was shaking. I'm scared." Kurt let the last part out in a sob, he was so tired and scared he had no idea what to do.

"What hospital?" Blaine asked, Kurt could hear rustling and knew his partner was getting ready. Kurt told him the name of the hospital and to both of their relief the hospital wasn't that far away for Blaine to get to. "I'll be there soon okay?"

"Please hurry. Rachel is with Devon and Ariella, I...I don't know if I should call my dad, what do you think?"

"Let's leave calling them until we know what's wrong, it could just be a fever. I'll be there in about an hour okay? Get a coffee and please try and calm down, okay?"

"I'll try." Kurt breathed. "Drive safe."

"Always. I love you." Blaine whispered.

"Love you too." Kurt ended the call and took a deep breath. Blaine was right, Kurt needed to calm down and get a coffee so that's what he did. He felt as though he had been waiting hours, but in reality only a few minutes had passed before a nurse came out to talk to him.

"Are you Kurt?" She asked softly. Kurt nodded quickly. "I'm Nancy, I'm helping with Cory. He's doing okay, he still has a high temperature but we have given him something to help reduce that."

"Is he going to be okay?" Kurt whispered. He couldn't lose him.

"The fever is going down, and he isn't trembling any more, we have given him a mild pain killer in case he is in any pain. The horrible thing when they're so little is they can't tell us exactly what's wrong. You mentioned to the paramedics that he hasn't been eating properly."

"No, the last few days he seemed to have lost his appetite, he'd eat some fruit but only if it was soft, we figured it was his teeth." Kurt breathed.

"That's a good assumption you made, his age he will be teething a bit." She said softly. "Did he show any signs of being sick or feeling unwell?"

"A little quieter then normal, but nothing really." Kurt sighed. "I should have brought him in sooner."

"You brought him in now and that's what matters." Nancy said reassuringly. "Now, would you like me to call anyone for you?"

"No, my partner is on his way, he was at a conference." Kurt said softly.

"Okay, well you can come and sit with Cory now, he has a few wires attached to him so it might be scary at first when you see him, but they're just monitoring his heart and his temperature. We've taken some bloods and we should know what's caused it soon."

"Okay. Thank you." Kurt whispered quietly.

Kurt hated looking at Cory like this, he was laying in a small bed wearing nothing but his diaper, his eyes were closed and he looked almost peaceful, if it wasn't for the tubes and wires and loud beeping machines all around him. "Oh baby." Kurt whispered and sat in the plastic chair beside the bed. He reached out nervously and took Cory's little hand in his. "It's going to be okay baby boy, be home in no time. I promise."

Kurt sat with a sleeping Cory for over an hour talking to him, singing to him, he wasn't too sure what he was even saying, but he just needed his son to hear him. The door opened and Blaine walked in, his eyes red from crying. Kurt let go of Cory and rushed over to his husbands. "He okay?" Blaine asked, his eyes tearing up again as he looked over at his son.

"Sleeping." Kurt whispered, his head fitting perfectly against the crook of Blaine's neck. "His temperature has gone down completely now, they've done some tests on him just waiting for the results."

"Okay." Blaine nodded. "Are you okay? You look exhausted."

"I'm okay." Kurt whispered. "I should phone and see how Devon is, he seemed so scared."

"It's still early, Rachel probably got him back to sleep. Let's wait a little longer to phone, okay?"

"Okay." Kurt nodded. "I'm scared."

"Me too." Blaine breathed holding onto him tightly.
