The rest of the day after Belle woke up was very busy. Rachel had immediately called Kurt and Blaine, who then called Burt, Carole and Finn.
Kayla and Barbra left school early to go to the hospital. Thirty minutes after Belle woke up, the whole family was there.
Kurt and Blaine were perched on either side of Belle on her bed, grinning from ear to ear.
Burt and Carole had pulled their chairs close to Belle's bed with their granddaughters sitting on their laps.
It was as if Kayla had come back to life. In the past month it was like she was the one laying in the hospital bed, but not today. She was smiling, laughing and playing with her cousin.
Rachel had told Blaine and Kurt what happened before and right after Belle woke up. They were sympathetic, then surprised.
When they first arrived at the hospital, after they had held Belle and cried tears of joy, she had asked them about Rachel. They told her they would explain when she got back home in her own bed.
*Blaine POV*
Blaine sits holding his baby girl with his husband by his side. Honestly, he wasn't expecting anything good to happen today.
He was having a particularly rough day at Dalton, trying to teach a student to play the violin. He was almost to his wits end when he got the frantic call from Rachel telling him the good news. She said that she had called Kurt as well, so he should get the girls from school and come to the hospital.
He and Kurt both entered the hospital at the same time. Trying not to run, they walked to the elevator with the girls.
Blaine still had that giddiness as he sat there by Belle.
He was looking around the room, taking in all the smiling faces, when he realized that he didn't bring a present for Belle.
"Belle, sweetie," Blaine said, running his fingers through her hair, "I need to go do something okay? I'll be back soon." He kissed her forehead and held her close.
As he left the room, he pulled Kurt in for a quick kiss. Kurt yelped as he did this, and then relaxed into Blaine's touch. "I'll be back soon," Blaine said with a smirk, "try not to miss me too much."
Kurt playfully slapped Blaine's butt as he walked out of the room.
Blaine all but skips out to his car, humming the whole way. He plans on just running to the gas station to get Belle a bear, but at the last minute he decides to stop by the toy store instead.
He finds a pink stuffed bunny for Belle. He smiles, imagining how happy she'll be when he gives it to her.
As he walks to the checkout counter, he sees a stuffed moose wearing sunglasses and holding a guitar, and thinks of Kayla. Now he feels like he should get something for Barbra as well. He finally settles on a big, blue lollypop.
He buys the presents, politely turns down the cashier's phone number, and returns to the hospital.
He holds the presents behind his back as he enters Belle's room, quickly running into the bathroom to hide the presents. "Girlies! Close your eyes!" He says loudly, making the girls jump, close their eyes and giggle.
He peeks into the room, seeing that all three girls had their eyes shut, and then walks out with a huge grin on his face.
Kurt laughs and mouths, "Puppy" to him. He rolls his eyes at the nickname. He doesn't think he looks like a puppy, but Kurt disagrees.
"Hold out your hands." The three girls do as he says, Kayla opening her eye a little. "Hey kiddo! No peeking!"
First, he gives Belle her bunny. "Keep your eyes closed! Wait till the girls get theirs too."
Then he gives Kayla her guitar playing moose. All the adults in the room chuckle at Blaine's gift choices. "Only Blaine could find this stuff," Kurt thinks, covering his mouth as not to laugh out loud.
Blaine walks over to Barbra, sticking his tongue out at Kurt as he does so. He hands her the lollypop, "Okay girls, on three, open your eyes!" Blaine says, clearly excited for the girls to see his gifts for them. "One, two, three!"
The girls open their eyes before he says three. Of course they're all squealing with excitement as they show each other their gifts. Kayla and Barbra run over to Blaine to thank him.
"Thanks Uncle Blaine!" Barbra says as she throws her arms around his neck.
"You're very welcome, sweetheart." He says, kissing her cheek. Barbra walks away while trying to get the wrapper off of her lollypop.
Kayla then hugs Blaine and sits down on his lap, burrowing her face into his neck.
"Thank you, Daddy. I love it." She says, pulling him closer.
Blaine sits there, holding Kayla close and rocking her. Blaine knew that she wasn't going to get through this ordeal unscathed. He didn't know what was going to happen down the road, but for now, all he could do was hold her.
The night slowly progressed until Burt, Carole, Finn, Rachel and Barbra had to leave. Rachel was still making Barbra go to school the next day, so they wanted to get her home to sleep comfortably.
Earlier in the evening Kayla and Belle had all fallen asleep, cuddling, on Belle's bed while watching High School Musical.
Blaine pulls out his phone and snaps a quick picture of his two girls asleep. "Babe, I don't think we could ask for more." Kurt whispers, leaning into Blaine's side.
Blaine puts his arm around Kurt's waist, putting a finger through his belt loop.
Kurt sighs with contentment, just enjoying this moment.
"One of us needs to take Kayla home." Kurt says as he breathes in the smell of Blaine.
"You go home and sleep in your own bed, honey." Blaine says as he sits down, pulling Kurt into his lap.
"Are you sure?" Kurt whispers as he nuzzles his and Blaine's noses together.
"Positive," Blaine breathes, "you need sleep." He sighs, pulling Kurt's mouth down to meet his.
No matter how many times Blaine kisses Kurt he still gets butterflies in his stomach every time they touch. They're like a drug to him; he needs them to function every day.
Kurt's lips taste like coffee, mints and something that was just Kurt.
Blaine moans into Kurt's mouth as Kurt's tongue slides over his. "Babe, we need some alone time. Soon." Blaine says, eyes dark with lust.
Kurt looks at Blaine with the same dark look in his eyes as their mouths crash back together.
Kurt doesn't realize how long it's been since they've been close like this. It was only kissing, but with Belle being in the hospital, they hadn't had the time for it in a while.
Blaine pulls him down closer to him, holding his hips. "Blaine," Kurt whines in between kisses, "we have to stop. The girls could wake up at any second. "
Blaine groans, and reluctantly pulls away. "Okay. We just need alone time. Maybe Burt and Carole could watch the kids sometime soon?"
Kurt laughs, getting off of Blaine's lap. He walks over to the bed to wake Kayla up.
"Kayla, honey, it's time to go home." Kurt says as he gently shakes Kayla's shoulder.
Finally, he gets her to wake up and then get ready to leave.
"Bye Daddy. I love you. Times infinity." Kayla says, waving at Blaine.
"Bye pumpkin. I love you too." Blaine says getting up to hug Kayla and Kurt.
"We'll see you in the morning sweetheart." Kurt says, giving Blaine a quick peck on the lips.
Blaine returns the kiss and then says, "See you in the morning, boo."
Kurt rolls his eyes at Blaine's choice of words. He always has been corny like that.
They head for home, leaving Blaine alone with Belle.
Blaine walks over to Belle's bed and moves her over a little so he can lie down next to her.
As soon as he gets comfortable, Belle snuggles into his arms, making him smile.
This is how Kurt and Kayla find them the next morning. Now its Kurt's turn to take a picture.
