A/N: What started out as an experiment to see if I could write Blaine and Rachel together as a couple, turned into the perfect thing. But as with all fan fictions, I've got to end it eventually. But today isn't one of those times. For now, enjoy Rachel and Blaine singing. I just wanted something in the hospital with just them. Maybe, with Blaine starting. Song used is 'All Or Nothing' actually by the Glee cast.
Chapter 17
Blaine POV
Rachel was getting restless in the hospital. I could tell just by looking at her. I knew she wanted to be out of there, but with the way the car hit us and everything, they wanted to keep an eye on the babies. Which I completely agreed with. They'd released me, because I'd had a broken leg. Not to say that a broken leg wasn't a serious injury, because it is, but I needed to be with Rachel more than I did in a hospital bed.
"Sing to me."
I heard this voice say. I looked up and found Rachel staring at me. I nodded, trying to scan my memory banks for something to say to her. I had been working on this song about us that I'd wanted to try out. I nodded and spoke softly before singing.
"I came up with this a couple months ago. I was waiting to do it for you until we were in the Caribbean. Since that isn't happening now, I'll do it now. This is about taking charge of what you want. And I feel like I have. This is called 'All Or Nothing.'"
Rachel nodded as I hummed a bit to find my pitch. I took her hand in mine and kissed her wrist softly. I smiled and started singing.
"I can't stay here
I am not the boy who runs and hides
Afraid of what could be
And, I will go there
I need time, but know that things are always closer
Than they seem
Now I'll do more than dream
I'm gonna fly
Gonna crash right through the sky
Gonna touch the sun
Show everyone
That it's
All or nothing
All or nothing
This is my life
I'm not going to live it twice
There's no in between
Take it to extremes
'Cause it's
All or nothing
All or nothing.
Or nothing at all."
Rachel looked at me. I knew that she'd heard me rehearsing that song in our apartment all last week. She knew the next part of the song just as much as I did. And that's what made me happy, was because through all of this, the singing and the performing, we could get through anything. Rachel smiled warmly at me and started in on the next verse. She was my perfect angel, and nothing was ever going to change that. I listened as her voice made my song amazing.
"I can't give up
Can't just let it burn
And watch the fire
A star that turned to dust
And now please don't judge me
Take my hand and say
You'll always wish me well
And send me luck
Cause that would
Be enough, yeah
I'm gonna fly
Gonna crash right through the sky
Gonna touch the sun
Show everyone
That it's all or nothing
All or nothing."
She stopped singing with me and stroked my hair softly. She then leaned in and kissed me warmly, and that's when I knew. We were perfect together, and we were going to be just fine.
Rachel POV
I've never loved my husband more than I did in that moment. Of course I knew about 'All Or Nothing.' I heard him performing it while he was writing it, and motivated him to finish it. Blaine could be so much more than just an accountant, and I wanted him to be. I had to go about this gently, because Blaine didn't like being pushed.
"Baby, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure Rach, what is it?"
"Baby, I love you so much. And you know that, right?"
"I do. What's wrong? You're not leaving me are you?"
I shook my head. That much I was sure of. I wasn't going anywhere, unless Blaine found a reason to chuck her out on her ass, but she really didn't see how that was going to happen.
"No, honey I'm not going to leave you. I want what's best for you my love, you know? One failed audition and you swore off the stage forever. Blaine, baby…you're so much better than being an accountant for Webber productions. I'm not saying to start acting again…maybe do something different."
"Like what?"
Blaine asked me, creasing his eyebrows together. I knew that he was a little bit irritated about me asking these questions, but I am his wife. It was my job to support and love him. And I was going to. No matter what.
"Songwriting. Baby, you proved to me with just that song what you can do. You prove to me everyday what you can do with different arrangements. Blaine, you can be an amazing song writer."
And I watched Blaine's face…and I realized that for the first time in a long time, he realized that he could do it. And all I wanted was his happiness. And that's all that was going to matter. We let the subject drop, and sat there holding hands. I knew this was Blaine's way of letting it drop, but no matter what happened…I wasn't going to give up.
