Blaine arrived at Lima Memorial Hospital mere minutes after Kurt told him about Alice's location. He didn't even care that he ran two red lights in the process, because all he could think about was Alice. As soon as he exited his car, he was greeted by Detective Cooper, who waited by the hospital doors. Blaine shook her hand and immediately went to the counter. "Uh, Alice Anderson?" He said, putting his hands on top of the flat surfacce. The nurse took somewhat longer than he expected, looking through the computer for confirmation of the girl's name. Blaine couldn't wait anymore, he was thinking about just looking for the room himself when another thought scrapped the idea. The hospital was gigantic, no way was he going to find Alice faster than waiting.
"Here we go, Alice Anderson. Room 230" The nurse said, looking up from the screen. Blaine ran. He ran towards the stairs, not really wanting to wait for an elevator. It was only on the second floor so he might as well just use the stairs. He looked around for the room, not really knowing where it was. He searched for signs. When he turned his head he saw a sign that said "Children's …" Not really reading what came after the first word, he went in the direction the arrow pointed. His heart pounded in his chest and his undershirt was clearly wet from all the sprinting. He saw the numbers increase one by one. 219, 222, 225, 227, 230. He said to himself as passed by various rooms. Once he finally found the room he was searching for, he paused.
Alice's smile crept through his mind. That one time when he brought her to the mall surfaced from the back of his head.
"Papa?" Alice turned around showing her father a cute little t-shirt with the twelve Disney Princesses printed on it. "Can I have it please?" Alice begged with stars in her eyes.
Blaine couldn't resist that smile and agreed. "Sure honey, but let's see the size." Wonderfully enough, the size was perfect. Alice jumped for joy when Blaine put the piece of clothing in the cart, hurrily jumping off to the next thing her eyes could see.
Blaine opened the door to see the most wonderful thing in the world. Alice was sitting up on the bed, a nurse with a clip board right next to her. "Papa!" She yelled, causing the nurse in the room to flinch a little bit.
"Hi honey!" Blaine said, attacking the little girl with a tight hug. A look of pure happiness went over Blaine. He was ultimately very gleeful seeing his little girl again. After all those days without her, he couldn't bear losing her again. The girl gave a pained groan as he hugged her. He loosened his grip and shot her an apologetic look. "I'm so sorry Alice, I just missed you so much."
"I missed you too papa." Blaine stood up his eyes not leaving Alice. "My arms hurt but mister doctor said I'll be better."
"Yes, just don't run around for a while okay?" The nurse said, lightly tapping Alice's nose.
"Okay!" Alice replied with her usual reverie.
"Is she really gonna be okay?" Blaine turned and asked the nurse for confirmation. Sure he heard the nurse imply that Alice would be fine, but he wanted to be sure. This happened before and he didn't want history to repeat itself. The man gave him a smile, but soon he replied to Blaine's question, looking over at the chart left in the room by the doctor.
"Yeah she'll be fine." Alice was humming something unfamiliar, probably something she made up all to her self as Blaine talked to the nurse. "She was a little bit shaken when she woke up, but I guess she looks a little bit better now." Her legs dangled from the bed so she was free to move them around. "The only thing though is that her arm needs to stay like that." The nurse finished, looking over at Alice. Her arm was draped in a cloth that hung around her shoulder, making it bend in an L-shape. "She got a fracture from her seatbelt, but it should go back to normal in about two weeks."
"Uh when will she be out?" Blaine asked, completely relieved that nothing serious happened to his daughter.
"Oh, I don't know, she may still need to stay for some observations, but the doctor should be here to see her in a little while. He can confirm if she can be released today." Blaine nodded as the nurse took his leave, hugging Alice as he sat next to her.
Kurt walked into the hospital and faced the woman behind the counter, almost mimicking what Blaine did. As soon as the woman saw the look on his face, she knew who he was here for. "Alice Anderson?" She asked hoping that her assumption was correct.
Kurt raised his eyebrow at her, panting out a "Yes" with incredible difficulty. He put his arms on the counter as the lady smiled, pulling up a folder in her hands.
"Room 230." She said, giving Kurt a small smile as he turned in the direction of the stairs. "Your husband's already there." He flinched at the word. Oh how he wished that were a reality, but sadly, Blaine would never love him. And even though he had helped him during this difficult time, he will only be Alice's teacher, if at most friends. "Hope your daughter's ok." The nurse said as Kurt slowly walked away.
Kurt looked at the door that heralded the number 230. There were blinds that covered the view to the inside even though the "walls" were glass. He could barely see but he could picture it. He opened the door a little, peeking in through the little space he gave himself, and there it was, the image he pictured in his head. Blaine was lying down on the hospital bed with Alice next to him, her head on his shoulder. It was a lovely sight to see. Blaine rubbed Alice's long curly dark brown hair, giving the little girl a peck on her forehead as she rested.
He gave two light knocks as he entered, one step at a time. "Hi." He said in a whisper. Blaine put his index finger on his puckered lip, giving Kurt a little shush.
"Hi." Blaine replied.
"How is she?"
"Tired. The doctor said that they still need to keep her here until morning. If she's fine, then she'll be out by noon."
"Glad to hear it."
"Yeah, we can take her home." Blaine looked at the angelic face before him. Trying to figure out why Julia would even want to torture the little girl.
Wait… Kurt backtracked. What did Blaine just say? Blaine's voice echoed through his head. "we" Did he just imply that they would be going home together? "We?" Kurt said out loud. He wasn't supposed to day that!
"Yeah, if it's no trouble?" Blaine some what asked, hoping that Kurt would say yes.
"Uh, but uh." Kurt's mind was utterly in pieces. He didn't know what to say, nor did he even want to reply.
"Papa?" Alice muttered as she woke up. The two adults in the room completely forgot about the girl, talking in their normal speaking voices halfway through their conversation. She looked around, searching the environment, forgetting where she was. There were weird things all around and she wasn't lying in her bed. When she saw another person in the room, she rubbed her eyes, checking to see if it was really who she thought it was. "Mr. Hummel?" Her face beamed at the sight of her teacher. "Mr. Hummel!" She repeated, getting off her father's shoulder and off the bed. She tried to put both her arms around the man's waist, but it hurt too much to move. In the end, she gave him a one handed hug.
"Hello Alice" Kurt returned her hug, bending down to reach her, and embracing her lightly. "How are you?"
"I'm okay. Papa's here" She looked at her father, waving at the man before turning back to Kurt. "I was with mama, but she doesn't like me anymore." Kurt gave the child another hug as she looked down on the floor. "It's okay though!" Alice swayed her hips side to side. "You like me right?"
"Oh yes I do Alice." Kurt replied, kneeling down to meet her at eye level. "I like you."
