Blaine was running late for work and he was pretty sure that he'd missed the train he needed. That, though hadn't stopped him from practically running from his apartment and down to the subway.
It wasn't a long journey to Lenox Hill Hospital, but with all the stops on the subway it felt longer.
Blaine usually read on his train journeys. At just 25, he was still new to the whole being a doctor thing, and preferred to read medical journals and other books of that interest. Today however he decided to see what type of people he was sharing air with.
Sitting to his left was a young woman, maybe in her mid 20s. She was reading a copy of 50 shades of grey. Blaine wondered how people could read that in public with out getting embarrassed about it. It all seemed odd to him. On his right was an old man, who was asleep (at least that's what Blaine had hoped). After staring at the man for a while to make sure he was breathing, Blaine turned to look around the carriage. No one really seemed of interest to him. That was until he saw a young man, probably early 20s holding a young girl, who was probably no more that 6. The young girl looked very familiar but Blaine put that down to him being a doctor to young kids all kids start looking the same after a while. His eyes flickered back to the man. His hair was perfectly coiffed with not a single hair out of place. His suit was definitely from Vivienne Westwood's latest collection and it made him stand out from the boring crowd around him.
Blaine admired the man for a moment, a small smile on his face but then something caught his eye. A wedding ring. Blaine frowned. Why were the hot guys always married? He thought to himself.
The announcer said his stop at long last and he stood quickly, hoping to beat the crowd at the doors. He noticed the man he had been admiring leave too. He wondered where he would be going. 77th street (which the hospital was on) was more of a residential area and with the way the man dresses it seemed the area would be too poor for him. He was dragged from his thoughts when he lost sight of the man. He knew now he would probably never see him again.
Blaine headed into the hospital and up a few floor to his office. He was greeted on the way by a few of his colleagues who said nothing but hi, or good afternoon.
Sam was sitting in Blaine's office when Blaine arrived. Sam was Blaine's best friend and a fellow doctor at the hospital. They had come from the same high school and graduated from the same university together; they were practically brothers. Sam always brought Blaine his schedule and a coffee and would often hang around in Blaine's office and help with patients.
"Who am i seeing today?" Blaine asked sitting down at the desk.
"um..." Sam looked at the appointment list "you only have 3 today. Kyle West, Stan Sawyer and that little girl with the eye problems, Tameera Hummel."
Blaine nodded "The girl with the scary mum?"
"Her mum isn't scary" Sam laughed "She's just different. Sure her hair is light blue and she has one of those weird nose piercings. But her files say she's a NYADA student so it's kinda expected for her to be a little weird"
Blaine laughed. It was true. NYADA students could be very weird sometimes. Once a whole lot of them had gotten food poisoning and half of the students were taken to the hospital and there wasn't enough staff in the A&E so a lot of them were sent up to the paediatricians. Blaine and Sam had treated a girl with pink hair, a boy with purple hair and a boy who switched his accent every time he spoke. It was a weird day filled with weird people, so they stayed clear of the area NYADA was in unless they absolutely had to be there.
The first to appointments went quickly, which Blaine was glad about this meant he could prepare for the final examination of the day. Blaine and Sam had seen Tameera Hummel for 6 other appointments. Her mother had brought her in one morning when she complained about a loss of vision in her eyes. This began the start of the mysteries of not only the girl but her family.
Sam had pretty much fallen in love with Tami's mother within the first second of meeting her. He seemed very disappointed in learning she was married. But the thing that was weird to Blaine was how she'd never seemed to mention the husband, he had asked many times and she tiptoed round the subject as if she was hiding something. Sam had even tried to ask a few times
Sam was obviously looking forward to seeing Mrs Hummel again, but he seemed to fall quiet when the allusive husband had stepped through the doors. Sam quickly excused himself from the office, knowing he shouldn't be there anyway. Blaine just stared at the man for a moment... He was the well dressed man on the train this morning.
"It's nice to finally meet you" Mr Hummel said as he shook Blaine's hand.
"and you Mr. Hummel."
"Please call me Kurt" he said sitting Tami down on the examination chair. She swung her legs as she was too short for them to rest on the floor.
Kurt seemed nervous to Blaine and he was confused as to why. Of course it was normal to be scared of the ICU or A&E departments, but a children's ward?
Blaine couldn't help but notice the look of apprehension on Kurt's face whenever he did a test on Tami. Again it was a natural thing, but he looked so scared. Whether it was because he might finally find out what was wrong with his daughter or because he didn't know Blaine at all and he was scared to see an unknown person near his daughter. Blaine would probably never know.

Kurt exhaled as Blaine left the room. Why did the guy have to be so damn gorgeous? Everything about him was flawless, however Kurt did kind of with the man didn't gel his hair so much, this wasn't the '50s.
"Told you he was pretty" Tameera giggled "You should ask him out"
"Your mummy wouldn't be very happy" Kurt joked.
"Daddy, I know that you and mummy aren't in love. Remember?" Kurt sighed. He hated it when she phrased it like that. It must be weird at 6 years old to know that both your parents aren't married because of love but instead a lie that was never stopped or whatever you want to call it. She knew however but she promised she would never tell anyone. She promised that she too would live the lie. Kurt hated it, but he was also happy with his life and that's what matters really, right?
"We do love each other." Kurt clarified "Just not in that way"
"I know and yo-" She was cut off by Blaine when he re-entered the room.
"The test results are going to take a few more days" He said "We can mail them to you if you'd like."
"or you could call my cell" Kurt said hopefully, handing a post-it note with his number on it "but if you prefer you can mail them"
Kurt picked Tami up into his arms and left leaving a blushing Blaine standing in his office, with a bright smile on his face.
