Chapter twenty-two.

'Blaine Blaine wake up it's Christmas' Lucy yells as she jumps on his bed. 'Blaine' she says impatiently and shakes at his shoulder as he isn't answering her.

He turns away from her burying his head in his pillow 'mmh Lucy'

'Blainey' Lucy says giggling.

'yeah?' he says as he lifts his head.

'it's Christmas!' she says again in case it wasn't clear yet.

'right' he mumbles 'what time is it even'

'it's half past six but I was so excited and I woke up and I thought that you would be excited too, I'm sorry'

'no no don't be sorry it's okay' he says and sits up.

'are we going to give Kurt his present?' she asks smiling.

'yes of course, but first I have a present for you' Blaine says smiling.

'you have a present for me?' Lucy asks.

'yes' Blaine answers while searching through the drawer of his nightstand. 'here it is' he says as he reveals the little box.

'is that for me?' she asks as she looks at the tiny box Blaine is holding. He nods smiling and hands her the box. 'thank you' she says smiling. She looks at it for a moment before opening it. Her eyes widen as she recognises what's in the box. 'you…you bought me this?' she asks in disbelief.

He smiles 'yeah, do you like it?'

'do I like it? Of course I like it!' she says and then hugs him. 'thank you so much Blaine'

'you're welcome sweetie' he says smiling as he holds her close. Then she lets go of him so she can put on the ring.

'it's so pretty' she says as she looks at the ring.

Blaine smiles 'I'm glad you like it, shall we go get Kurt his present?'

'yes' she says as she jumps off of the bed making her way to the door.

'aren't we forgetting something?' Blaine asks smiling.

'oh the present. But what if I drop it? Will you carry it?'

'well….'

'ah please Blaine'

'well okay then' he smiles

'tease'

He gets the present and takes Lucy's hand 'come on'

'knock knock' Lucy says giggling instead of really knocking.

'yes?' Kurt answers.

'merry Christmas!' Lucy yells as she bursts into the room.

'well hello' Kurt says smiling as he sees both Lucy and Blaine coming in.

'we have a present for you' Lucy says smiling.

'you can give it' Blaine says as he hands the present to Lucy.

'okay Kurt, this present is from me and Blaine, for you. We hope you'll like it'

Kurt looks at the present without doing anything.

'well open it' Lucy says as she sits down on one of the chairs.

Kurt opens the present revealing a painted mug. One side is painted purple and pink, obviously Lucy's work. The other side though is covered in different little paintings. The mug is split in four parts and when Kurt takes a closer looks he sees that there's a part for every season. In the top left corner there's winter. It's painted white and there's also a brown bench on it. In the top right there's spring, there's a lawn with colourful flowers. In the bottom left there's summer. There's a beach with sea and a sun. and in the bottom right there's fall. With a tree and all orange red and yellow coloured leafs on the ground. And beneath all of that is a text painted. It says: "because coffee is nice no matter what season it is" 'you guys made this?' Kurt asks after he took a close look at the mug.

Both Lucy and Blaine nod. 'we did, and Blaine is a really good painter' Lucy says smiling.

'he is indeed' Kurt says as he's still looking and the part of the mug that Blaine painted.

'this is really nice of you guys, this is my new favourite mug' Kurt says smiling. 'but of course I got you guys presents as well' Kurt says smiling as he reveals two presents.

He hands one to Lucy and she takes it from him smiling. 'thank you Kurt' she says smiling and opens the present. 'Blaine look, Kurt got me a bunny' she giggles 'not a real one though, don't worry'

'awh she's really cute, how are you going to name it?'

'uhm I'm naming it Sandy' she says smiling and cuddles with the bunny.

Kurt looks at Blaine and for a moment their gazes meet. 'of course I got you something too' Kurt says and hands Blaine his present.

Blaine fidgets with the wrapping paper but smiles when he finally unwraps the present. 'you bought me a bow tie?'

'well yeah you always wear them so I thought…'

'thank you Kurt' Blaine says as he looks at the bow tie in his hands. It's yellow with a few thin Blue lines on it.

'Kurt' Lucy whispers but since Blaine is sitting next to her he hears it anyway, he pretends like he didn't though. Kurt nods and Lucy stands up walking to the drawer of his desk and revealing a tiny package. 'I got you a present too' she says smiling. 'but it's a little from Kurt as well since he helped making it' she smiles 'now open it'

He smiles as he opens the package. 'you made me a mini guitar?'

She beams 'yes, do you like it?'

'I love it' he says as he hugs her. 'thank you Lucy'

'bye Blaine' Lucy says as she hugs him. 'have a nice Christmas'

'thanks Lucy you too'

She waves one last time before her mother closes the door behind them, giving Blaine a warm smile.

'you should go now though. Your mother is waiting.'

'she's here?'

Kurt nods. 'I asked Julliet to call her and to ask if she could pick you up.'

'well then' Blaine says as he looks at the door.

'we'll have further contact about what will happen.' He smiles a little. 'bye and have fun' Kurt says as he opens the door for Blaine.

'bye' Blaine whispers not looking at Kurt.

'Blaine' his mom says as she hugs him. 'where's Kurt going?' she asks.

'he needed to do things, but he said he would call later'

'oh alright, well lets go home.'

'I'm so happy you're home again. Aunt Maddie is here with Liam and Amelia' Eileen says as she parks the car in front of their house.

'it's just for now' he says and the smile on Eileen's face fades away.

Ggggg

'Blaine' Amelia squeals as she sees him.

'Amelia' He says smiling and lifts her off the ground.

'I missed you, mommy said you were sick. Are you feeling better now? I don't want you to be sick'

'don't worry about me' he says as he puts her down again.

'Blaine' Maddie says as she pulls him into a hug. 'are you doing okay? I mean considering the sitation?' she whispers and she hugs him tighter when he nods. 'I'm so worried Blaine and I'm so glad you're okay' she says as she finally lets go of him.

'Blaine' Liam says as he jumps on his back from behind.

'hey buddy' Blaine says laughing.

'be careful Liam'

'mom I'm not even doing anything'

'remember what I told you?'

'yeah yeah okay mom' he says and lets go of Blaine.

But before he knows it he's hugged again.

'Blaine'

'grandma'

'how are you?' she asks softly.

'I'm okay actually' he says smiling.

'I'm glad to hear that' she says as she releases him.

'mom' Eileen says from the kitchen.

'I'm on my way dear' she laughs 'your mother and cooking' she says smiling to Blaine and then makes her way to the Kitchen.

He turns back to Amelia and Liam.

'Blaine can we go play the piano?' Amelia asks as she holds on to Blaine's sleeve.

'yeah sure, are you coming too Liam'

'yes' he says excitedly and they make their way to the music room.

'Okay so what do you want to play Amelia?'

'Can you play something? I'll just listen'

Blaine bites his lip as he thinks about the last time he played, in the hospital in the playroom. On Mary's last night. 'Yeah sure, what do you want me to play?'

'our song' she says smiling.

'Okay then' he says as he places his hands on the keys.

it's a little bit funny

This feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money, but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do

You see I've forgotten if they're green or there blue

Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen

Blaine looks up for a moment to see Amelia moving her head to the music while Liam is tapping one of his feet. And it makes him smile.

As he reaches the chorus he hears that Amelia softly starts to sing along.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words, how wonderful life is

Now you're in the world

After the chorus she stops singing as, Blaine supposes she doesn't know the lyrics well enough even though they played the song a thousand times and he could play it even if he was blind. Or maybe she was just shy.

If I was a sculptor

But then again know

Or a girl who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and this one's for you

when he reaches the chorus for the second time she starts singing along again, a little louder than the first time but still so soft that only he can hear it.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words, how wonderful life is

Now you're in the world

'You're so good' she says as he finishes the song.

'Thanks' he says smiling.

'that was really great Blaine' he turns to the door to see Maddie standing in the doorframe.

'I want to be as good as Blaine mom' Amelia says.

'yeah me too' Liam adds as he strums on the guitar that's standing in the room. 'I am gonna be a rockstar' he says.

'of course honey' Maddie says.

'mom don't call me that' Liam says as he looks at his mom while Amelia giggles.

'oh and dinner is ready' she says as that is why she actually came to see them and to indeed see Blaine play a little. She always loves it when Blaine plays. Whatever it is, guitar or piano or basically any instrument and then he has a great voice as well.

'Come one' Blaine says as he holds out his hand for Amelia but instead of gripping it she kisses his hand and giggles as she skips of to the dining room.

'Blaine can you pass me the salt' his grandma asks but before he's able to grab it his mom got it.

'Don't worry I got it' she says softly and hands her mother the salt.

'I could have perfectly done that myself, like grandma asked' he says and continues playing with his food instead of waiting for an answer from Eileen.

'Aren't you hungry?' Liam asks as he notices Blaine isn't eating.

'No not really'

'Mom that's not fair! I don't want to eat either but I DO have to'

'Liam' she says firmly and gives him a stern look.

'idiot' Amelia mumbles as she kicks him under the table.

'Ouch!'

'drama queen'

'Guys stop' Maddie says. She gives Blaine an apologetic smile and continues eating.

'Who wants dessert?' Eileen asks smiling as she looks at Liam and Amelia.

'Me!' They yell in unison.

She smiles 'Maddie? Mom? Arthur?' She pauses for a moment and then looks at Blaine but he quickly shakes his head.

Eileen smile fades away as she heads to the kitchen before a moment later coming back with the dessert.

Blaine looks at his lap as everyone starts eating.

'Don't you like desserts?' Amelia asks as she looks at him.

He shakes his head 'no not really' he tries to smile 'it's so cold' it succeeded because it made her giggle.

As everyone is finished Blaine stands up to go and put his plate away. 'Can you take mine as well' Liam asks as he sees what Blaine is up to.

'Yeah sure' Blaine says as he takes Liam's plate.

'Do you need help?' Eileen asks carefully not wanting him to get mad but not wanting him to actually do it either but Arthur gives her a look and she shuts her mouth as she is being ignored by Blaine anyway.

'I'm going upstairs for a bit' Blaine says as he reappears.

'but Bl-' Eileen trails off as she gets a look from Arthur. 'Of course'

'Kurt' Kurt answers as he picks up his phone.

'Merry christmas!'

He smiles as he recognises the voice. 'Thank you Carole, you too'

'How have you been? How's work going?'

'I'm good'

'How's that guy doing, Blaine? Oh and Lucy?'

'They're both home, I wanted Lucy to try and stay home during the holidays and if that goes good then she'll stay home. She's doing really great, I'll miss her though'

'Oh don't worry Kurt, she'll probably come and see you won't she?'

'I hope so'

'I'm sure of it. So how's Blaine then?'

Kurt is silent for a long moment.

'Kurt?'

'Sorry what...?'

'How's he doing?'

'Quite good' Kurt bites his lip.

'well that's great isn't it'

'hhm yeah'

'so what are you going to do during Christmas?'

'nothing, work'

'nothing? You can't do nothing with Christmas Kurt! Why don't you come over?'

'would you like that?'

'of course we would like that! You know what, lets keep it a secret so we can surprise your dad okay? I'll pick you up from the airport just let me know when you arrive.'

'great' Kurt says as he starts to get excited. 'I'll make up for last time'

'you better do indeed' she says teasingly. 'oh Burt is coming home, I better hang up or he will get suspicious. Bye Kurt see you soon'

'bye Carole'

'bye bye sweetie' and then the line went dead.

As soon as he makes it to his room he lets let himself collapse on his bed. It's a long time ago that he slept here, in his room. This is not how it's supposed to be, you're supposed to sleep in your own room, not in a hospital. He looks at the ceiling on which are still those little lighting stars he had stuck there when he was little. But then there's a knock on the door. He already sighs as he expect it to be his mom but when he sees a tiny brunette peek around the door he smiles. 'hey'

'hi' Amelia says 'can I come in?'

'of course you can' the door opens further and she walks into his room situating herself on the left side of his bed. She once told him that she always sleeps on the left side because the right side is where the monsters are.

'so do you have the flu?' she asks as she starts making little pattern on his sheets with her finger and that's when he notices she painted her nails purple, maybe it was because she likes purple but Blaine likes to think that it is because he once told her purple looks good on her.

For a moment he considers if he should just go with that but on the other hand he thinks she deserves to know. 'well it's a little bit more complicated than that'

'oh.' She says. She's quiet for a moment. 'but then what is it?'

'well our body's are made of lots of cells. Cells are really small so you can only see them under a microscope. There are good cells and bad cells and the good cells help our body's to do what we like, so things like singing and dancing. But then there are the bad cells, they're sort of like the villains so like the mean stepmom from Cinderella. So Cinderella's stepmom is really mean but she has a lot of power which means she has the power over Cinderella. And a group of these bad cells, a group of stepmoms is what we call a tumour. And sometimes the part of the body where the bad cells are growing isn't working correctly. Cinderella can't go to the ball because she needs to clean. Her stepmom gets in the way. So then there's the fairy to help her, the doctor. And she puts a spell on Cinderella so she gets a pretty dress and a carriage. But when Cinderella leaves the ball she loses on of her shoes, the good cell.'

'but she finds her shoe back in the end and then she and prince charming live happily ever after'

'they do but it's not always like that because sometimes the stepmom beats the fairy and then there's no happy ending'

'but you always tell stories with a happy ending so why not this one?'

'because sometimes we need to accept that not everyone can have a happy ending'
