Chapter 16: How Did I Get Here?
Kurt just sat there. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Pregnant? Oh man was he in trouble. Especially if J finds out. He would be considered a freak. Plus he would be stepping into Quinn's shoes.
"Kurt?" Aiden asked.
"I-I don't know what to say." He said. Aiden and Adam each took one of Kurt's hands.
"Look, I know this must come as quite a shock…"
"Of course! I'm carrying my bastard of an ex's baby! The same bastard that cheated me. I-I don't…oh god!" Kurt rubbed his face. He then looked down and felt his stomach. The fact that there was life growing inside of him was sort of a miracle.
"So what now?" Aiden asked.
"Well, you could always termin…"
"Not gonna happen." Kurt said sternly.
"Will the baby's father be in the picture?" Aiden asked. Kurt just scoffed.
"Nope, because I'm not gonna tell him."
SSSSSSSSSSS
Sam was hot and bothered. He had just satisfied another client. The money was fantastic, but once again sex for money? Not exactly what he really wanted to do.
"Thanks doll-face. See you soon." The man cooed as he left the room. Sam pulled on his tight shorts and walked out to see his manager.
"So how am I doing?" he asked.
"Dude, you've made over 10 grand this month. You're selling like hot cakes." Rome looked at Sam's sad expression. "Look kid, I know this isn't ideal, and I hate that a cool guy like you, is doing a tough job like this."
"Hey, I need money. And a fast food gig doesn't really pay much. So having sex and getting paid for it isn't half bad." Sam said.
"Hopefully you make enough to where you can finally stop doing this and live a teenage life." Rome patted the younger boy's back.
"You're not the only one." Sam muttered.
RRRRRRR
Rory walked down the hallway on a beautiful Monday morning. So far life for the little guy hasn't been that great. He still didn't have enough money for the trip for his Debate team. He didn't want to steal anymore.
It had become a bit of an addiction. In the beginning he would pawn his own things. Then he would slowly start pawning or selling his parents stuff. After that it became stealing everyone's things to make a quick buck. It was sad.
If he didn't come up with the money soon he would be screwed. Plus his team would have to forfeit and he was not having that.
"Hey dude." Sam said as he walked by. He took one look at Rory's face and turned around to see him fully. "What's up?"
"I don't have the money to pay for my team's trip to Pittsburg." He said.
"Sorry to hear about that. I heard that you guys were doing great." Sam smiled.
"Yeah, but sadly being great doesn't get you the money you need." He said. Sam felt bad for the kid. Rory only had Glee club and the Debate team. And the Debate team was something to call his.
And now there was a possibility that he could lose that. Then a thought came out of nowhere. What if Rory came to work with him?
"What if I could help you get the money?" he asked with a wide grin.
KAAKAAKAAKAAKAA
Kurt sat in the wheelchair as Aiden pushed him around the hospital. He felt that Kurt had had enough of looking at the boring stations on TV and needed a new kind of scenery.
"I have to say, the interior designs of the hospital have gotten better over the years." Kurt said.
"Really? How would you know?" Aiden asked.
"My mother died in this very hospital when I was young. Another reason why I don't like hospitals." He said.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Aiden replied.
"Hey, she lived a good life. She was the best mom I could ever ask for." Kurt said.
"I'm sure she was. My mom and dad a have been together for a while. They're doctors as well." Aiden said.
As he began his tale of his life, Kurt just listened. He really was intrigued by Aiden. It might have been the hormones, but he could see a good friendship with this guy.
"Wow, you seem like you've had an interesting life. To travel the world, meet new people, and experience new things? Plus your parents accept you like mine did. It's amazing. I'm glad you're going to McKinley soon." Kurt said as Aiden pushed him into his room and helped him get settled.
"So am I. I'm glad that I have a new friend." Aiden smiled. Kurt returned it and watched him as he walked away. Kurt knew that it was almost time to have visitors. He suddenly felt scared and alone and called Aiden back. Aiden was there in a flash.
"I'm scared. How can I face my ex and his new bast- I mean boyfriend? I'm carrying his child for god sake!" Kurt put his head in his hands. He was lost. He was carrying Blaine's child. If they were together it would be sort of great. But he's with that leech Eli. And every time he mentioned his name he got a headache.
"I know it's gonna be tough. But you can do this. You pulled through everything else. I'm sure you can make it through anything. And besides, I'll be here. For emotional support." Aiden smiled. Kurt gave him a watery smile and took Aiden's hand.
"Thank you." Kurt said as he felt something go through him from Aiden's touch. It wasn't bad, but strange. As they stared at each other Kurt's family and friends walked in.
"Hey K- oh! Are we interrupting something?" Carole said. Kurt turned towards the shocked look on all of his visitors faces.
"Oh uh, no. Guys this is Aiden. Aiden this is my dad, Burt, his wife Carole, my brother Finn, Sam, Rory, Puck, and Dave." He said completely ignoring the fact that Blaine and Sebastian were there.
"And these are the rest of our friends Blaine and Sebastian." Sam said. Kurt just rolled his eyes. He didn't notice that Blaine was staring at his and Aiden's hands.
"It's nice to meet all of you." He said. Just then, Adam came walking in.
"Ah I see everyone is here. Now I can tell you the good news." Adam said as he looked at Kurt. Kurt looked like a scared little kid. He just knee Adam was gonna spill the beans.
"Kurt is ready to go home!" Adam exclaimed. You could see everyone smiling like mad, while Kurt was confused.
"Already? I was only here a few days." He said.
"Actually you were asleep for a few weeks. That concussion put you in a coma. But you're out of it now and your charts say your fine. You can go home tomorrow." Aiden said.
"Yeah, we were supposed to come see you the day after you got hit, but you went into that deep sleep thing." Finn said. Kurt was bewildered. He could actually go home. He was still holding Aiden's had and released it. But reality came crashing down on him. He was carrying Blaine's child. How was he gonna tell him? He didn't want Blaine anymore, right? He was a cheating bastard right? But he does have every right to know. After talking with everyone for a while, he requested some time alone with Blaine. He was happy that Elizard wasn't there.
"Kurt I was so worried. I thought that you had died." Blaine said. Kurt mentally rolled his eyes.
"Yeah sure you did. But that's not the point..."
"What do you mean it's not the point? I'm being serious here!"
"Blaine look, if you would just let me explain, there's something we need to talk about." Kurt tried again.
"Is this about Eli? Kurt I'm telling you to be nice. I like Eli, he makes me feel free. We have a lot in common."
"So did we. But then again, I never cheated. I guess we don't have the much in common after all." Kurt snapped.
"Why can't you just trust me on this?" Blaine pleaded.
"You did not just ask that? Well Blaine of course I trust you..." Kurt saw Blaine take a breath of relief. "To lie to me, to hurt me, and to betray me. It might not be the trust you were hoping for; but it's the kind of trust you earned."
"I should go. Eli's waiting for me, he was decent enough to not want to disturb you, so he waited in the lobby." Blaine said and walked out. Kurt turned his head as he tried not to cry. He heard the door open and he looked up to find Eli looking worried.
"Oh great, my day just gets better and better. What do you want Elizard?" Kurt asked. Eli came closer until he was hovering over Kurt.
"I uh just wanted to see how you were doing." Eli said, but something was off.
"Oh please, I know you would've been relieved if I had died in the accident. But I know something you don't." Kurt smirked. Eli's eye twitched.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, I do. Just know this, if he cheated to be with you, he will cheat on you. You're not special." Kurt said. Eli just smiled.
"Oh he seemed to think I was pretty special last night, and the night before that and so on. When are you going to give it up Kurtie?" Eli asked. As Eli smiled, Kurt saw flashes in his mind. He shook his head and ignored it.
"Blaine and I share a bond that you will never have."
"Oh yeah? If that bond was so tight then why is he with me?" Eli said as he walked around to view Kurt's leg. "It would be a shame if something happened that kept you here." He said as he hit the sling that held Kurt's leg. Kurt cried out in pain as Eli smirked and left.
"Bastard!" Kurt whimpered.
SRSRSRSSRSRSRSRSRRSRS
Rory was puzzled as he entered the building where Sam worked. He watched as men in G-strings walked around the bar.
"So is this supposed to be joke?" Rory asked. Sam just smiled as he ran into Rome.
"Hey Sammie." Rome said as he gave Sam that one armed hug. He looked back at Rory.
"Oh this is my friend Rory. He's looking for a job." Sam said. Rome walked around checking Rory out. Rory felt really uncomfortable at that moment.
"Sam this is just a kid. He won't fly right with any of the clients." Rome said.
"He's not here for that. He's here for something subtle. Something that can make him a little money. Our school is planning a trip for the Debate team and there's not enough money for everything involved." Sam explained.
"Well…I suppose maybe he can be a waiter. It doesn't make as much as an escort but it makes a decent amount." Rome said.
"That's perfect. I'll take it. But…uh... I won't have to wear any skimpy outfits will I?" he asked.
"No. Just a shirt, a tie, and some black pants. Like Brody over there. Go with him and he'll show you the ropes." Rome said as a dark brown haired boy came over and took Rory away. "Cute kid."
"Yeah he's a good buddy. Look I know bringing him down here was a mistake, but I couldn't think of another way to help him." Sam said.
"It's okay. This just proves that you're a good friend. And I hope everything works out for him. You and him shouldn't be doing jobs like this anyway." Rome said sadly.
"Hey, we know what we're doing. See you later." Sam said as he went to find Rory.
KAKAKAKAKAKAKA
Kurt sat silently in his hospital room as he watched the storm outside. He looked down and rubbed his stomach. He couldn't believe that he was carrying life inside of him. He looked at the ultrasound and smiled.
"Oh, what have I gotten myself into?" he asked himself. If only he hadn't gone to New York. Then Blaine wouldn't have cheated. God it still pained Kurt to realize that Blaine was with that sleazy lizard. He didn't understand how Blaine could be so stupid? If he was feeling down, why didn't he just talk about it? Why does he always have to be so damn impulsive?
'Doesn't it sound familiar' a voice said in the back of his head. Okay sure Kurt held his feelings in too, but that shouldn't mean anything.
'Actually it does. The difference between you and Blaine is that he just does for it. You have to plan things out. But you didn't when you both had sex without commitment or condoms huh? You two are both stupid and you need to work out your issues.' The voice said. Kurt just nodded his head.
Love hurts. It truly does. There were so many things that were screwed up. He lost the love of his life, someone was screwing with him and his friends, he got hit by a car, and oh, let's not forget that he's a male carrying a child! All of a sudden a song came to mind. Kurt felt it fit his situation. So he quietly started singing.
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Aiden came in and heard Kurt singing. He looked so upset. He had heard most of the story from Kurt and he knew why he felt this way. He decided to come in and sing with him.
I may be slow
But even so
I know a thing or two
Kurt turned around in shock at Aiden singing. He sounded so sweet and genuine. Kurt actually felt something spark in his dead heart.
I learned from you
I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
Burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
They decided to sing the next lines together.
Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
But they're not fooling me
But I know it isn't true
But I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Kurt and Aiden just smiled at each other and held the other's hand.
Yeah, but I know it isn't true
But I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh, love hurts
Ooh-ooh
"Wow, I didn't know you could sing." Kurt said.
"I could say the same thing about you." Aiden countered. Kurt actually chuckled. He hadn't felt happy in a while.
"Well just for the record, I'm in my school's Glee club. Kind of lame I know." Kurt said and bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Actually it's not. If you want to sing, go for it. I actually am planning on signing up when I get there." Aiden said with a smile.
"Cool, just know that you'll have a friend there." Kurt smiled.
"Thank you. So have you had time to decide on what you're going to do about the little one there?" Aiden asked.
"Honestly no I haven't. I do know one thing's for sure, no one can ever know about this." Aiden just nodded.
"But eventually you're gonna start showing. What then?"
"I haven't thought that far ahead. But I do plan on telling my parents, in my own time, in my own way." He said.
"And the father?" Aiden asked.
"He's with Eli now, and this baby will never know about who their father is. I just can't get sucked back into that life. He cheated on me. And that's not forgivable. I just…I need to forget about him." Kurt said.
DDDDDDDDDD
Dave didn't trust Eli. He was too sneaky and conniving. He hurt Kurt in the worst possible way. Jessie would be furious if he found out that 'Klaine' were no longer a thing. Dave really wished that Kurt had remembered what had happen.
It was that damn concussion that blocking the truth. He knew that Eli had something to with this. He just needed proof. And the reason why he knew Eli had something to do with this was because, seriously? Kurt has something vital to tell them and then he gets hit by a car?
Something just didn't add up.
And where the hell had Eli been when Kurt had been hit? He was nowhere in sight; claiming that he had a phone call. Yeah right.
Dave knew he shouldn't care so much. But he liked Kurt. He had been through hell and back and is still strong. Dave actually admires him for that.
It had been a rough few weeks. With Kurt being in the wheelchair and watching Blaine and Eli make lovey dovey eyes at each, must have been torture. Plus he had been acting strange too. Like he was constantly sick and moody. Maybe it was just the jealousy. But today he wouldn't be in the chair, he was finally free. And Dave couldn't wait to congratulate him.
When it was time for Glee, everyone waited for the arrival of Kurt. Dave was so excited. He and Kurt had gotten really close after the accident. They both have a strong hatred for Eli, so nothing brings two people closer than the mutual hatred of a third person. But what Dave saw shocked him.
There was Kurt with… Aiden on his arm.
"Hey guys thought I'd bring in our newest member." Kurt beamed. Dave just sat in the back and sulked. Sebastian, Blaine, and Eli looked baffled.
"Ooh a new member. Does he know what he's getting into?" Santana asked.
"Actually I do. Kurt has kept me up with the status of the group. And I have to say I'm very excited to work with all of you." Aiden said.
"Okay, okay we all know what's going on here. Kurt quit trying to make me jealous. It's not working. And you're just embarrassing yourself." Sebastian said.
"You're the only one doing that Sebby." Kurt gave him a sugary sweet smile.
"Alright before any fights ensue, your name sir?" Mr. Shue asked.
"Oh, Aiden Crawford." Aiden said.
"Okay then, as I'm sure Kurt has told you, you have to audition." Mr. Shue said.
"Yeah he told me. I was wondering if we could do a duet?" Aiden asked. Mr. Shue smiled and gave a 'go ahead' gesture. Kurt just smiled as Eli, Sebastian, and Blaine looked livid.
"Okay, I haven't been practiced in like a while so; excuse me if I'm a little rusty." Aiden said. Sebastian just snorted. He leaned into whisper something in Eli's ear. Kurt just rolled his eyes as the music began to play.
You make me feel
Out of my element
Like I'm walking on broken glass
Like my world's spinning in slow motion
And you're moving too fast
Kurt looked over at Blaine and smirked. He walked around the classroom as him and Aiden sang.
Were you right, was I wrong?
Were you weak, was I strong?
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
Aiden took the floor then. He twirled Kurt around until they were chest to chest. He looked into Kurt's eyes as he sang.
You make me feel
Out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tide's pulling me in deeper
Making it harder to breathe
We cannot deny how we feel inside
We cannot deny
Kurt pulled away from Aiden as he went over to sit on Brad's piano as they sang their song. Blaine looked shell-shocked and Eli was speechless.
Were you right, was I wrong?
Were you weak, was I strong? Yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
Aiden and Kurt danced around each other. The chemistry was there. But was Kurt really ready to move on? He had spent some time with Aiden. A lot of time actually. Aiden agreed to help him hide his pregnancy until he was ready to announce it. Aiden was a good friend, along with Karofsky.
Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire
Sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (Don't let us lose it)
But he couldn't do anything. He was pregnant for crying out loud. He could feel a little bit of a bump. He was scared, but he had Aiden.
Were you right, was I wrong?
Were you weak, was I strong?
Both of us broken
Caught in the moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
Kurt and Aiden just smiled at each other throughout the entire performance. They really did click. The friendship between them was impeccable.
We lived, we loved
We hurt, we jumped
We're right, we're wrong
We're weak, we're strong
We lived to love
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that watch the chemicals react
Just like that the chemicals react
The chemicals react
Once they were finished, the room burst into applause. Kurt and Aiden bowed and took their seats. Blaine and Eli volunteered to do a song. And right as they finished Kurt's wave of nausea kicked in and he bolted from the room. Aiden went running after him.
Once Aiden made sure they were alone, he knocked on Kurt's stall.
"Hey buddy, are you okay?" he asked. The sound of retching and coughing made him rethink his statement. "I'm here if you need me."
"I'm fine." Kurt said as he emerged from the stall. He took out a toothbrush and began brushing his teeth.
"I know morning sickness can be a bitch. I've seen people go through it. It'll pass." He smiled.
"I know. But god, it sucks. I can't eat what I want anymore. I crave the weirdest things. My favorite foods make be vomit and I'm sick of this!" Kurt snapped. He felt woozy and held onto the sink.
"I know, but we can find you even better healthier things to eat. Something that you'll actually want." Aiden chuckled.
"Thanks, you're a really good friend." Kurt said as he hugged him.
"It'll get better; you have to think of the baby here."
"What baby?" Blaine asked as he entered the restroom.
A/N: Okay, I know about what I promised in the last chapter. But more drama will happen. Kurt will go through his changes and he'll have support. Remember, it's always calm before the storm. And I do plan on doing another Author's rant. What they did to Klaine in the 'I Do' episode really pissed me off. Soon you'll know why.
The songs are Love Hurts by Joan Jett and Chemicals React by Aly and A.J. The regular italics is Kurt and the just bold font is Aiden's. And with italicized bold font are both of them singing. Just to clear up any confusion. Oh and Kurt and Aiden's ship name is Kaiden.
And I know 'J' has been silent lately. But don't worry, they'll appear soon enough. And everything isn't what it seems. Just when you think you get the story, you'll hit another turn, so be prepared.
Next on DLS: Will Blaine find out about the baby? Something's in the making for a certain Dave Karofsky. And Sam puts something on the line to protect Rory.
