Chapter 14

Hours had passed since Blaine had sat in a quaint little coffee shop, opposite his parents for the first time in nearly eighteen months where they began to rebuild the broken bridges between them. Sometime after dinner that same night, Blaine gathered the whole Hummel-Hudson clan together around the dining table to discuss something important, something

"I wanted all of us to be together to talk about this" Blaine began as everyone made themselves comfortable around the table, tucking their chairs in. Burt sat at one end of the table whilst Blaine sat at the other end. Kurt and Carole both chose to sit next to their significant others whilst Finn took up a whole side to himself.

"You're not moving out on us kid are you?" Burt joked but the look Kurt shot across to his Dad showed he didn't see the humour in it at all.

"No" Blaine laughs. "No, no nothing like that. No what I wanted to talk about was, well as you all know, I met up with my parents earlier on this afternoon and, well, it went unexpectedly, really well. And, well they gave me something that's intended for Kurt."

"For me?" Kurt asked, completely surprised. "Wha - Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

"You'll understand why soon" Blaine replies. Everyone exchanged furrowed looks as they had no clue what to expect.

"Well don't leave us hanging kid. You said everything went well - It can't be that bad then, right?" Burt laughed nervously.

"Oh no, It's not bad" Blaine replied smoothly as he reached into the pocket of his dark blue jeans, pulling a small folded piece of paper out and sliding it to the middle of the table. "Definitely not bad."

It was as if there was one last cupcake left on the table and everyone sat completely still because they all wanted it but each of them were too polite to just out rightly take it. Eventually, Kurt bit the bullet and reached for the piece of paper. He opened it painfully slowly but as the piece of paper surely formed into a cheque, unsurprisingly to Blaine, Kurts eyes widened as he read the handwritten text.

"Oh my god" Kurt said breathlessly. He looked at Blaine who looked at him as if to say "I know. I can't believe it too." "Dad, look" Kurt passed the cheque promptly over to his father, Carole and Finn leaning in either side of Burt to read it too.

"Whoa" was all Finn managed to express whilst Carole inhaled sharply, covering her mouth with one of her hands as tears pooled in the corner of her eyes.

"Holy sh- Is, is this real?" Burt asked Blaine, completely shell shocked at the small, rectangular piece of paper in his hands that could possibly change a lot of things. Blaine simply nodded.

"As real as can be" Blaine offered with a small shrug of his shoulders. "My parents have savings accounts and have been putting money into them, pretty much since the beginning of their careers. But they were clear in that this isn't them paying their way for forgiveness or anything like that; this is their way of wanting to help and offer their support to us."

What do your parents do again honey?" Carole asked gently. As Blaine reminded her of his parents high profile occupations, his dad being a corporate lawyer and his mother a oncologist, Finn let out whistle to show his impress.

"And Coopers an actor? No pressure on you then" he joked to which Blaine playfully rolled his eyes at before gently laughing.

"You know" Burt started, bringing the conversation back to the point, or cheque in hand, "I'm not going to pretend and say that this isn't helpful, because it is. What do you think about it bud?" Burt asked Blaine.

"I just don't want you guys to feel like you have to accept it, like it's being forced upon you. But, on the other hand, I want what's best for Kurt. I want what's best for all of us. I don't want this to be something the could cause friction or animosity in any way" Blaine said.

"Reality is, is that bills are expensive and with this and our own income combined, there's no doubt that they'll be able to be paid off and Kurt can carry on getting the treatment he needs. Kurt - " Burt lifted his chin to Kurts direction, "- Pretty quiet there bud. What do you think?"

"Its incredible" he replied simply. "And I'm so, so, grateful - more than I'll ever be able to put into words. But, I can't accept it. At least not yet. It's like, I know they're your parents - " Kurt said as he looked at Blaine, " - and obviously you have that connection with them but I don't. I don't know them yet. I don't know anything about them, things that I should know. I don't know who's the better cook out of them or what your mums favourite place to shop in or what your dad does in his down time. I just, It's important to me for me to get to know them a little better before I accept something as substantial as this from them."

"I think that's very mature of you sweetheart" Carole expressed, reaching for Kurts hand that was next to her. "It's decided then."

"Are you sure that's what you want?" Blaine asked as he turned his head towards Kurt who was sitting with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Absolutely positive" he replied, nodding his head for emphasis. "Would you fully accept seven and a half grand from my parents if you had never even had one sit down, civilised conversation with them?" he questioned.

Blaines mouth slightly parted but as he paused and thought about it, he realised Kurt was completely right. Of course he wouldn't. Even though he and Kurt had been dating for two months short of two years, if he had found himself in financial trouble and Burt and Carole offered him a large sum of money, despite never having met Blaine before, Blaine realised that he would feel funny about accepting the money so readily too. It almost would have felt like taking money off of a stranger and listening to Kurt this evening, he realised that Kurt didn't want Blaines parents to be strangers anymore. To answer Kurts question, he simply shook his head.

"I just, It's important for me to get to know the people behind the cheque. I can't just accept it before truly knowing them. I want to be able to know their personalities and know more about them but it's not just about the money either. Inevitably, I want this for us. I want to be able to build a sense of trust and respect between us all and to include them in the life we've made so far, and tomorrow night at dinner, we'll take those first steps. Together" Kurt smiled as he softly shook the clasped hands that rested on the table.

To put it simply, the dinner was a complete and utter success.

As the night begun, Blaine nervously, but none the less proudly so introduced Kurt to his parents as they walked up to the table his parents were already sitting at but genuine pleasantries were made as outstretched hands were shook and accepted, Isabelle and Kurt even taking a step forward into a hug and although it felt a little awkward at first, it was clear that an effort was being made from both parties. They each had felt their own feeling of anxiousness at the beginning of the night as they all sat down together for the first time at the rounded table at 'Delizioso' - Limas finest Italian restaurant and as expected, at the beginning of the night, there had been a few awkward silences and small talk questions but as the night went on, each of them savouring the beautiful food and wine they indulged in, Nathan specifically requesting "the finest bottle you have for this special occasion" and talked and laughed between them, they were all equally surprised as to how easy it all was. It almost felt as though they had been doing this for so long, that the last eighteen months had never happened; it felt more like they were all getting together for a dinner gathering they organised regularly to keep up to date with each others lives.

"Oh Kurt, the stories I could tell you about Blaine when he was younger" Isabelle laughed. "Cooper sat him down one day to watch The Land Before Time and for about a whole week after watching it, he ran around the house pretending to be one of the dinosaurs - gosh what was his name, Foot? Little feet? I - "

"It was Little Foot" Blaine corrected his mum as he murmured his answer, his head buried as deep as possible into his hands.

"That's the one!" Isabelle exclaimed excitedly. "Oh another one he absolutely adored was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - "

"Urgh that film is such a classic!" Kurt intercepted as he listened intently.

"I think Blaine would agree with you if the fact that he rewound and watched his video tape so often that the film reel would come out nearly every single time and by the fact that he went into Nathans office one day, grabbed a piece of paper from his desk and used his zigzag patterned scissors to cut out a rectangle, used his gold colouring pencil to colour it in and ran around the house singing "I've got a golden ticket." Kurt laughed in amusement before exclaiming an elongated "awwh" as he smiled at his boyfriend who looked as though he was desperate for the ground to swallow him right there and then.

"I beg of you, please stop before Kurt dumps me right here and now" Blaine groaned whilst Kurt, Nathan and Isabelle shared looks of amusement about his embarrassment.

"Oh no please, PLEASE, continue this completely adorable trip down memory lane" Kurt laughed. "Besides - " he started as he leaned into Blaines side. " - I'm pretty sure that nothing that could be said at this table tonight would ever make me want to leave you" Kurt said quietly, a moment shared only between him and Blaine.

As Blaine took Kurts hand, the two of them showing nothing but love and adoration on their faces, Blaine was comforted by the fact that neither of his parents had raised their eyebrows at the action nor had they looked away, but rather they smiled at the physical symbol of their affection.

Kurt had now been officially introduced into his parents life and progress was being made with each passing second - that was all Blaine could have ever wanted.

It was hard to believe that only 5 days had passed since the fundraiser concert had been held. so much had changed and taken place in those days. relationships were being rebuilt and new ones were being formed. Following the success of the official "meet the parents" dinner Blaine, Kurt, Isabelle and Nathan had held between them, a date within the coming weeks had already been set for another occasion where along with Kurt and Blaine, Burt and Carole would now have the chance to meet the other side of the family. It was an unspoken understanding between the four adults that they were all going to be a part of each others lives long into the foreseeable future and so they didn't see any point in waiting to start building connections between them all.
Also in the past five days, Burt, Carole, Kurt, Finn and Blaine had all found time to sit down together and calculate the total proceedings they received from the fundraiser. It took them approximately an hour where they initially shook their heads at the total, before recounting, checking and rechecking it again to ensure that the total of $2, 475 was indeed, accurate. Kurt and Carole both unashamedly wept tears of disbelief as they felt overwhelmed at the total whereas Burt sat silently, as if he was trying to let it all sink in and Blaine and Finn quickly recovered from their shock as they smiled proudly at each other and fist bumped the other, proud at what they and their friends had achieved for someone they loved. They were all so overwhelmed and grateful at the piles of dollar bills, stacked in organised piles on the dining room table, concrete evidence of peoples kindness and willingness to help in any way they could. The money was safely packed away and secured tightly, ready to be taken to the back the very next morning, along with the cheque from Nathan and Isabelle which was put into a brand new savings account that Burt and Carole had set up whilst they were there, specifically to be used for Kurts treatments so that when they felt the time was right for the money to be used, it was there waiting for them.

A lot had happened In the past five days but now, today was September 20th. Today was "Check Up" day.

"Dad you know you didn't have to come today" Kurt said as he settled himself into the brown, leather armchair he had been sitting in for hours on end, every three to four weeks for the last four months. Blaine and Burt each retrieved the spare chairs in the corner of the room, bringing them into the centre of the room, sitting either side of Kurt.

"I would've been okay" Kurt assured.

"Are you kidding? I already feel guilty enough that I haven't been able to make it to any of your previous sessions - " Burt sighed.

"You're working dad" Kurt reasoned. "I'm not a little boy anymore. I'm eighteen. I get it. I know you would be here if you could."

"Well, that may be so - " Burt protested, clearly still showing feelings of guilt despite his own son telling him to feel otherwise.

"Dad, seriously - it's okay" Kurt said gently. "As far as I'm concerned, this is the easy part. I sit here and the machine does all the work for me. As soon as I get home, that's when the hard work begins, and you're always there for me, helping me and supporting me and that's what truly matters to me" Kurt smiled.

Burt found himself wondering when exactly had his only son because so mature and wise. With a blink of an eye, Kurt had transformed from a young boy who badgered Burt into playing tea parties with him (even though a part of Burt secretly enjoyed it) and teaching Kurt how to ride a bike into a strong, ambitious, wise man, heading for a bigger and brighter future than Lima, Ohio could offer him and furthermore, he had found someone to share all of that with. Burt couldn't have been more proud.

"Well - " Burt sniffed, desperately trying to hide the tears that threatened to surface, "I'm just glad I'm here today, you know, with this one being...different" he trailed off.

Burt didn't need to say the words for each of them to understand what he meant by this particular appointment being different. With every session, they went home clueless but riled with hope that the treatment was actually working but today, with this particular session, they would go home and anxiously await a set of results which would determine whether it in fact, has been working all this time or not.

"Boys!" Steph smiled as she burst into the room, a ray of sunshine as always. "And I'm going to hopefully, correctly assume this is your dad Kurt?" Steph smiled warmly.

"Burt Hummel" Burt smiled as rose out of his chair, extending his hand which Steph promptly took.

"It's honestly such a pleasure to meet you Burt. I'm Steph, Kurts nurse - I've been overseeing all of his treatment sessions."

"Well I guess I have a lot to be thankful for towards you - looking after my boy so well" Burt smiled.

"Just doing my job" Steph replied modestly. "Quite a son you've got here - you should be extremely proud."

"I'm the proudest" Burt replied simply.

"Daaad" Blaine laughed as Kurt slightly slumped down in his chair, bringing one of his hands to his forehead, slightly embarrassed with the attention.

"Well Burt, I hope you've come prepared today - I'm sure Kurt's told you how boring these sessions can be" Steph said as she gathered a few things together in the built in cupboards at the back of the room, laying them out on the sideboard that was built into the middle of the wall to wall cupboards.

"Tried to!" Kurt insisted to which all of them laughed.

"Okay - " Steph started as she walked back from around the back of the room to stand in front of the Kurt, Burt and Blaine. "Now I'm just going to run through what is going to happen today because obviously the procedure is going to run a little differently to what you're used to." As she had been talking, Blaine had retrieved yet another chair from the corner of the room, bringing it over for Steph to sit down on. She smiled gratefully at Blaine. "Okay so first of all, we're going to start by conducting a CT scan. It's completely non-invasive procedure that will give us a clearer picture on what is going on inside your body. We'll then move on to take some blood samples from you. Now these two types of tests are what is going to show us how the cancer cells are reacting to the chemotherapy and then, as per scheduled, we'll move forward with your fourth chemo session." They all nodded as they intently took the information in. "Now I know we've already been through this and you might get sick of me saying it and you might feel like screaming "shush" at me - " Stephs casual, light hearted approach made them all laugh, each of them feeling instantly more relaxed and they couldn't have been more grateful. " - but it's important that you know why we're doing this. So as you've already had three out of your six sessions which are scheduled to take place over a six month period, the Doctors like to see how the chemotherapy is progressing and to see if your body is accepting it or not. They use this halfway point because then this way, we know that we've given it a substantial amount of time and we see where we go from here, whether we alter the treatment or leave it just as it is. So, if the chemotherapy looks to be reducing the cancer cells, excellent! And because you're already going to receive you're fourth one today like normal, we would conduct the last two like normal and then assess the situation similar to today and see if we need to do more chemotherapy but if from the results today, we can clearly see that it isn't working, then we will start to look into other options."

"Like radiotherapy and bone marrow treatments?" Burt questioned.

"That's right. There are a few more options we can look into too but they are the two more common options and more than likely, the ones we would look into first." Steph clarified.

"How long will it take for the results to come through?" Kurt asked, his voice small and meek.

"About two weeks honey" Steph smiled. "The results need to be analysed by our radiologist and then they will be sent off to Doctor Rolstone and then he will discuss them with you." A silence hung over the room, lingering like a dark cloud, nobody saying a word until Steph asked "Are you happy with everything? You all understand what will happen?" With everyone showing nods of confirmation, they proceeded with the days tasks.

They started off, as explained by Steph earlier on, by moving into another room to conduct the CT scan. They all stayed in the room as Kurt settled himself onto the long white board but they soon had to move into the adjoining room so that they could begin the scan. As the lights in the room dimmed and the board mechanically moved Kurt into the round, hollow tunnel, Burt and Blaine were helpless as to do anything but watch through the glass as Kurt lay there, alone. It was hospital regulations that whilst a scan was taking place, the only person in the room could be the patient and it was harder than either Burt or Blaine initially thought it would be because all they wanted to do was to be in the room with him, even if they couldn't hold his hand, they just wanted to be there in some way to support him. The scans took around half an hour and soon enough, they were all back in the room they had become so accustomed to and familiar with over the last few months to begin the blood tests. As Steph gently inserted needle after needle into different designated areas, Kurt was grateful for Blaine holding his hand and his dad showing his support by squeezing at his shoulder from behind him because one needle was just about bearable but having three, one right after the other, also with having to watch the blood being drawn mercilessly from his body go into a tiny tube was another story. Steph wiped over the site where the final needle had been in his arm with an antiseptic wipe and Kurt almost felt relieved when she clapped her hands together and proclaimed "done!". She quickly filled out a sheet of paper, the sound of the pen scratching against the surface the only sound to be heard in the room. She filled it out so quickly which suggested to them that she had completed the same sheet for different people several times before. The paper was then attached to the clear plastic bag in which the samples had been carefully placed earlier where minutes later, a young nurse knocked on the door and waited patiently in the doorway to collect the samples, with Kurt overhearing Steph asking her to "take these down to Radiology as soon as possible please" as she completed the handover.
In comparison to the last two activities, the Chemotherapy session was a breeze and Kurt, as well as everyone else in the room finally felt as though they could relax. Although Kurt and Blaine were used to the process by now, Burt watched in fascination as he learnt and noted every single thing. He watched as Kurt settled himself more comfortably into the armchair as Steph brought over the required machines and hooked up the IV drip before gently injecting the cannula into the back of Kurts hand.
Burt quickly realised that Kurt, Blaine and Steph weren't exaggerating when the talked about it being a long process. Although he fidgeted in his chair countless times; his lower body growing stiff on the plastic chair, read two magazines cover to cover at least twice, one about autos and the other about mindless celebrity gossip he really had no interest for and happily walked to the visitors cafe to purchase coffee for himself and Blaine as Kurt dozed in his chair, he knew there was no place he would rather be. As per usual, four hours later, Steph came back into the room, removing the cannula and disconnecting the machines, ready for them to get themselves sorted to go home.

"You guy's go on ahead, I just want to hang back for a second. I'll meet you in the car" Kurt said to Burt and Blaine just as they were about to leave the room. They furrowed their eyebrows in confusion. Even Steph turned around from where she was working away at the sideboard at the back of the room.

"Kurt what - " Burt started.

"Dad it's okay. I Just want to talk to Steph about something - if that's okay?" Kurt quickly added as he turned to Steph.

"Of course it is" she said.

"Alright well, we'll be in the car whenever you're ready bud" Burt said before walking out of the room. Blaine lingered for a second, offering a small smile to Kurt, his heart swelling when Kurt mouthed a quick "love you" back to him before following Burt in the direction of the exit.

"You okay sweetie?" Steph asked warmly.

"I don't know" Kurt replied sadly.

"Something on your mind? Something about, well, all of this?" Steph guessed and when her assumptions were confirmed by a nod from Kurt, she sat guided Kurt to sit in one chair as she took up another, ready to talk more comfortable.

"Go ahead" she prompted sweetly.

"I'm just worried about the results I guess" Kurt sighed. "Because then it's like, I'll have a definitive answer. And I guess I can't stop thinking about the chance of the answer being not the one I want." Steph nodded sympathetically.

"Well, you know we know nothing yet but there is something I do know - do you want to know what that is?" Steph smiled as Kurt raised an eyebrow. "It's that you are one of the bravest eighteen year olds I've ever met. You know, I rarely treat teenagers - "Kurt nodded sadly "- but I can tell you that you are one of the strongest patients I've ever had, teenager or not, and I know that someone as strong as you is going to make it through this, especially because you have such a loving support system behind you who you know are with you, every step of the way. And if it's not the answer that we're looking for, well then we find other solutions, and we will find one. We, and you can trust me on this, are going to do everything in our power possible to help you."

"I know, it's just, some days it's harder to accept than others. You must have seen so many people in your time of being a nurse; and how many of them do you just one day, never see again?" Steph's mouth slightly opened in agape. "Sometimes I just find myself thinking about all of the things I could miss, like my step mom, she's two months pregnant and it's when I think about things like that, that's when it gets hard. I met a boy here a few months ago, his name was Seth. He was younger than me but he was diagnosed with Leukaemia, just like me but his was terminal."

"Oh, I know who you're talking about" Steph said in realisation.

"Yeah, well we had a conversation and I remember looking at him and just being overwhelmed with how strong and brave he was, much more than me, but then at the same time, looking at him scared me because I couldn't help but think about how that could be me if things don't go right. And then it comes back to the results because, if it tells us that the Chemo isn't working and then no other treatments work, that could be a reality for me. It could become more real than it already is."

"Sweetie - " Steph sighed sweetly as she shuffled closer to Kurt " - You have to know that Seth, the poor boy, was much more worse off than you. His illness was much more intense and -"

"Wait, wait, wh-what do you mean by...was?" Kurt asked cautiously, afraid of the answer. Steph tilted her head, sighing softly, as if she really didn't want to say the words.

"Honey you said it yourself, that Seth was seriously ill and terminal." Kurt started to softly shake his head, the words "no, no, don't say it" running through his head. He had a strong feeling he knew what was coming. "Seth passed away a few weeks ago."

There it was. Just like that.

"Oh my god" Kurt whispered, his head dropping into his hands.

"His cancer was just, far too advanced for any treatment to be able to overcome it. But hey - " Steph said, grabbing Kurts hands away from his face and slipping her own into his, " - that does not mean for one second that your fate is going to be the same. Think about those two men out there waiting for you, think about your little baby brother or sister who's going to want to meet their fun big brother, think about Blaine and the life and future you two are going to build together, think about yourself and everything you want out of life, that's what you're fighting for. Think of your life as an ocean; you are so young Kurt that at the moment, you've only really paddled your toes in it but there's a whole ocean out there waiting for you to swim or sail, but it's out there, waiting for you to conquer. So remember, even if these results don't go our way, that's why you are not giving up, now or ever, because there's a life out there waiting for you to begin." It was no surprise to either of them that both of them had let tears slip from their eyes after Stephs motivational speech.

"You're the best nurse ever" Kurt whispered as the two of them laughed through their tears. Kurt smiled sadly at the woman who had become more to him than just a 'nurse'.

"You have a fire in you Kurt Hummel. Don't ever let it go out" Steph sniffed, shaking their entwined hands from side to side encouragingly.

The two shared a long, loving hug, Kurt uttering countless gracious 'thank you's' before walking out of the room to meet his dad and Blaine back in the car park. As he walked down the corridor, Kurt felt regenerated and a refound sense of determination after his conversation with Steph. The worry and fear would always be there but he was going to do this. He was going to do it for Seth, for his friends, for his family, for Blaine but most importantly, he was going to do this for himself.

"What's your dream school?" Blaine suddenly asked Kurt one Wednesday afternoon. They were lying down together on their bed, facing each other, saying nothing and doing nothing but revelling in the knowledge that the other one was there. It had been just over two weeks since Kurts most recent chemotherapy session and the results from the tests still had yet to come through. They had no idea what that could possibly mean and each of them were growing more and more anxious everyday, the house falling silent every time the phone rang.

"What?" Kurt queried.

"Well, I know you want to go into Fashion but I know you never really had the chance to think about where so, if you could go to any school to study, where would you go?"

"Are you having second thoughts about you not going back to school just yet?" Kurt challenged quietly, the two of them so close together their noses were almost touching. "Because you know, I would fully support you if you did decide you wanted to go - "

"Hey no" Blaine stopped him immediately, reaching for one of Kurts hands that rested in-between them and brought it up to the pillows, running his thumb over Kurts knuckles. "Of course I haven't changed my mind. I told you, you are my priority, now and always and there is nowhere I would rather be then right here." Kurt smiled softly, bringing his other hand up to cover Blaines over his other hand. "But I just mean for you, I mean, you graduated High School and a lot of your friends have gone off to school but, well, a different turn of events was thrust upon you."

"Life is unpredictable that way" Kurt quipped.

"Come on" Blaine nudged his knee gently off of Kurts. "Dream with me for a second."

"Parsons" Kurt whispered after a prolonged silence but Blaine smiled encouragingly at him. "Or Pratt. Somewhere like that."

"You should apply" Blaine encouraged but Kurt instantly shook his head.

"I'm not too sure about that" Kurt shrugged.

"Why not?" Blaine inquired.

"I don't know, I just - I mean, of course I want to go back to School and like I told you, I feel really good after my conversation with Steph, I truly do, but there is always the possibility of me not getting better.

I feel like maybe it would just probably be best for me to wait until I have the all clear before I even begin to think about applying to schools. You know, then that way, I know that I can really start my life with no cancer or no treatment sessions, nothing holding me back." Blaine nodded as he contemplated what his boyfriend had just told him. "Besides, there are probably thousands of Vera Wang's and Zac Posen's out there. In what crazy world would Parsons or Pratt accept little old Kurt Hummel from Lima, Ohio." Kurt joked.

"In the real world" Blaine replied in all seriousness. "Babe, 'fashion' might as well be your middle name." Kurt scoffed whole heartedly at Blaine. "Seriously! You dress like no one I have ever known. It's bold, it's imaginative, creative and it is always absolutely perfect and so effortless. You were born for this." Blaine emphasised. Kurt pursed his lips together, an action Blaine recognised which usually meant that Kurt was considering something. "Do you remember what you said to me that night in the hospital - the night you were diagnosed?"

"I said a lot of things that night" Kurt smiled sadly.

"You said that I had to hope" Blaine specified. "And you should too. I mean, I know we don't know - you know, we have no idea what is going to happen in the future and applying doesn't mean that you are committing to it nor does it mean you even have to go but, wouldn't it be nice to have something positive to look forward to for once?"

Kurt smiled at Blaine before leaning forward to connect their lips, moving them in a gentle dance they had done so many times. He slipped one of his hands from Blaines grasp to bring it up to Blaines cheek, holding the man he loved and admired closer for just a little while longer.

"I love you" Kurt proclaimed as they slowly pulled apart, noses still touching. "Thank you. I - "

"KURT! BLAINE!" The sheer volume of Burts voice calling them from downstairs instantly brought the two boys out of their moment, scrambling off of the bed and rushing downstairs to find out what all the commotion was about. As they rounded the stairs and walked into the front room, Burt was pacing in small circles, the house phone still in his hands. Kurt and Blaine both looked at each other. In their guts, they knew what this was about.

"Was that - " Kurt started.

"Doctor Rolstone" Burt nodded. "His exact words were "I'd like to see you all as soon as possible." We have an appointment for tomorrow at 9am."

And that was that. They all stood in silence as it started to sink in that by tomorrow, they would know and everything would change, for the better or the worse.

A/N - Sooo?

So even though this chapter threw me a lot of the time, i really did enjoy writing it and i love Steph and Kurts conversation - that idea only came to me a couple of weeks ago and i literally was scrambling all these ideas on my phone so i didn't forget them!

So i just thought i'd let you guys know that we are kind of nearing the end of this (oh wow it even hurts to say :( ) Atm, im thinking theres most likely going to be around 2 to 3 more chapters and the epilogue and besides, the amout of time it takes me to write a chapter, it's still a while off but I just thought i'd get that out there now

Oh my gosh of course i don't mind a long review! They're my favourite kinds to read!:) Thank you for taking the time to write it:)

Okay so I really doubt i'll be able to get a chapter up before Christmas sooo Merry Christmas guys! I truly hope you have amazing one's and I'm going to try my hardest to get a chapter up before the year is out but if i don't manage to post anything before the new year, Happy new year!:)

Until next time my lovelyys(L)xx
