Sorry it took me this long to update but I had a familly emergency and I'm not sure how often I will update but I will try to write as often as possible. Thanks for being so awesome. I'm abit overwhelmed that so many of you have chosen to follow this story. It means alot to me. As always an extra thank you to those of you who have taken your time to review. Lots of love to you guys! So here is the next chapter. I'm not all happy with it but it will have to do! XX
Also a thank you to guest reviewer "Nee" I'm so happy you like this story :) and thank you for your advise. My English teacher talked about those words too and they are a bit tricky. And so many ;) I try to not mix them up and when I do I don't realize it until it's to late. But I'm gonna try to remember to check on the words I tend to spell wrong. Thanks again and I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story.
Puck hasn't even stopped the car before Burt is out running through the doors of the hospital, heading straight to the receptionist with Carole close a head.
"Were is Kurt Hummel, he's my son. Were is he?" He almost yells and the young woman in front of him jumps in surprise. She looks at him with a confused look on her face.
"Uhm, who did you say? Do you have a doctor's name?" She asks and starts typing on her computer.
"No, I don't have a name of a doctor. Now were is my son. He was brought in here. Uh yesterday afternoon or something. We just got back here from Europe, I need to know where he is"
"Mum?"
Burt looked up and saw Finn walking towards them. He looked tired but managed to smile as he half run the last bit before hugging his mom tightly.
"Oh god Finn, how are you? What happened? Where is Kurt? How is he? Is he okay?" She whispers into his ear and he tears up at the familiar smell of his mother as she embraces him.
"Where is he Finn?" Burt asks worriedly and Finn points with his head towards the elevators.
"I will take you to him. I figured I should come down and get you and then show you to him. His doctor is waiting for you too"
Burt nods.
Carole grabs Finns hand and he leads them through the corridors before finally reaching what seams to be Kurt's room. Before they have any chance of entering a doctor in a white coat approaches them. He looks so young, barely even old enough to be a doctor. Let alone being Kurt's doctor.
"Hello, it is good to finally meet you, Mr Hummel. I'm Dr Hale and I'm your son's doctor. Before you see him I would really like to inform you on his condition. I don't know how much you have been told already but I think it would be a good idea if we sat down and talked about it. It won't take long and you will soon be with him. His boy friend is with him right now"
Carole nods but Burt violently shakes his head in disapproval.
"No, I need to see him now! Please. Just tell me here and then I can see him. I need to talk to him"
The doctor nods.
"Of course. Well as you may already know your son was beaten up by a number of people. We are not sure of many but the police suggest it was about three or four of them. He was brought here with several injuries. Some more serious than others. Firstly he had three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. We have put in a chest tube to keep it stabilized and as the lung heals we will manage to remove it. We had to remove his spleen since the damage to it was so severe we couldn't save it. He has a bruised kidney which we are monitoring closely and hopefully it will heal on it's own"
The doctor takes a small pause. Letting the pair in front of him take in the information and Burt feels the tears burn in his eyes and the thickness build in his throat. When he gets to know who did this to his boy he will find those bastards and make them pay.
"His most serious injury though was that he had a scull fracture. We believed he was hit several times in his head and the police found a crow bar at the scene which seams to have been used o several parts of his body. With scull fractures and any type of severe head injury there is always a possibility of pressure on the brain which can lead to brain damage or even death. However, the surgeons have managed to put the pieces in his head back together and they have reviled the pressure on his brain. It's still very serious though and you need to understand that a head injury like this can be very unpredictable and he needs to be monitored closely these following days. His arm is broken in several places and will require surgery and a lot of physical therapy."
"But he will be alright? Right doc?" Burt asks grabbing hold of his wife's hand.
"We can''t know for sure until he is awake and there are always a risk of infection. Even if we have manage to have him in a stable condition he is still very ill. But all going well there is no reason not to believe he won't make a full recovery. Though he will need a lot of time and patience"
The doctor smiles gently.
"But when will he wake up, shouldn't he already be awake?" Carole asks.
"He hasn't woken up yet but it might be a couple of days before he does so. His body needs time to repair and this is it's way of coping with the trauma he has been through"
"Can we please see him now" Burt begs and the doctor nods opening the door in front of him.
Burt takes a small step into the room not really sure what to expect. The sight in front of him makes him cry even harder and he runs up to the bed and almost falls to his knees in front of it. His baby looks so sick in front of him with wire and tubes everywhere and his head tightly wrapped in a white bandage.
"Hey, kiddo" He mumbles, not even paying attention to Blaine who now stands by the foot of the bed.
Carole mouths to him and points to the door and Blaine nods. Soon Burt is alone with his son. He gently kisses Kurt's forehead before sitting down close to Kurt's head.
"Hi, buddy. How ya doing?" He whispers and takes Kurt's uninjured in his.
Kurt's whole body seems to be either bruised or covered in cuts and it breaks his heart to see his son like this. All he want's is for Kurt to wake up and talk to him but his son lays there motionless and quiet.
"Who did this to you, huh? I swear I'm gonna kill them. But you don't worry about that right now. Okay, Kurt? You just keep focusing on getting better. That's all you need to do. I love you so much. And so does Blaine and Carole and Finn. You hear that? We all love you so much" He whispers and strokes his son's cheek with the back of his hand.
"I'm sorry I didn't get here any sooner. But I'm hear now and I will take care of you, Kurt. Okay? Sch it's okay, it's okay, Sch...I love you, buddy"
He continues to hold Kurt's hand while his other hand is stroking his sons cheek in a comforting pattern as he continues talking with soft, gentle words. He is right with him now and Burt swears he will never leave him out of sight again.
Okay a bit crapy but it had to be done. I was planing an evil cliffy but I'm saving it for the next chapter or so. That's more fun I think. Anyway, please let me know what you think :) xx lot's of love
