Thank you morethanhope for the story alert, bloodysammy, ItsNessie, IvySnowe, ijustliketoreadthem and bethanycriss for a favorite story add.

Temarifan9622- Glad you thought the chapter was amazing- I hate Kurt's dad too. Trying to figure out how I want his mom to be.

j taylorfan- Figured it was bound to happen, my messing up the names. I'll fix it as soon as I figure out a way to do that without messing up those who get story alerts. I'll try to interject more Blaine-ness into the following chapters, I'm just never sure how to write him because in my mind he's not the same Blaine from the show (different family, different friends, different school/environment).

bethanycriss- I am SO glad that you 'freaking love' the story and that you like the plot twist. I think I am feeling that Kurt will be staying with the Andersons for a little while and I promise to try to keep the boys apart for as long as possible.

I wanted to apologize that this chapter took so long. Life got hectic and writing unfortunately had to take a back seat.

Also, like bethanycriss, please feel free to add suggestions of what you want to see because even though I enjoy writing- I do it for you.

"Wait, what?' Burt demanded of the doctor, who looked just as confused.

"Mr. Hummel is at work and cannot leave. He said until his wife can be reached the two of you are in charge." The doctor reiterated, trying to make himself understand just as much as the Andersons.

"But..." Blaine said and then stared helplessly at his father, hoping his father had the words that he couldn't seem to find. His father shrugged, so he turned to address the doctor again. "But I've only known him a few days."

"This is a highly unorthodox occurrence Mr. ?"

"Anderson." Blaine replied, trying to figure out just what all of this meant.

"Well, if you follow me, we can discuss Kurt's condition and how we should proceed in a more private area." Dr. Rogers said before heading back behind the doors Blaine had been wishing they would let him pass. Now, he wasn't so sure anymore.

"Come on son." Burt said placing a hand on Blaine's shoulder and leading him through the doors.

The three men just stared at each other once they were all settled in the private waiting room. The doctor silent in disbelief, Blaine silent in fear, guilt and indecisiveness and Burt silent in patience and nerves of his own. The doctor gave his head a little shake and realized that there was no more prolonging this.

"Kurt sustained some serious injuries." Dr. Rogers began. Blaine grabbed his father's hand and squeezing tight, trying to keep things together. "He had a laceration that took 12 sutures to close, after taking an x-ray we found he has a fracture on his occipital bone- that's the back of his skull and we think some possible brain trauma. He briefly regained consciousness but was incoherent."

Blaine felt like he was going to be sick. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, focusing only on that. Burt rubbed his back.

"We need your authorization to run an MRI and a CAT scan to see what kind of damage his brain might have sustained." Dr. Rogers said trying to sound as sympathetic as he felt.

"D-do whatever you need to do." Blaine stammered out.

"I need you to sign here." Dr. Rogers said handing a clip board toward Blaine.

Blaine reached out a hand to take the clip board but his hand was shaking so hard, he knew his signature wouldn't be legible. That and he knew somewhere, an adult should probably be doing this. He looked toward his father and without a word Burt took the papers and signed them himself.

"Good. We'll take him for the tests now. When he's back, I'll let you know and you can come see him."

Blaine just nodded and Burt thanked the doctor. Blaine heard the door slam shut and he barely made it to the trashcan in time to lose what little he had left in his stomach. Burt watched his son and felt his heart break.

"Feel better?" Burt said once his son sat back down next to him.

"Not really." Blaine replied dropping is head back against the wall, his eyes closed. "Dad, what the hell am I going to do?"

"I don't know." Burt replied, looking over at his son. He wondered what he was thinking, what he was feeling.

"But your the adult- your supposed to have the answers." Blaine said sounding like a child.

"I know son but this is a little bit out of my realm of experience."

"How are we supposed to make decisions? I've only known him a few days and suddenly I'm making important medical decisions? What if they find something? What if we need to sign off on surgery? Oh god Dad what if something goes wrong and its all my fault?"

Blaine began to hyperventilate and Burt pulled his son in for a hug.

"You do the best you can, Blaine. Maybe his mom is on her way right now, maybe his dad will come around and get in contact with you again."

"What if they don't?" Blaine groaned. "I like Kurt dad. I know I've only known him a few days but I like him. I already feel responsible for getting him hurt- the guilt already feels like its eating my insides. How am I supposed to deal with being responsible for him?"

"Blaine, listen to me. We're going to take this one moment at a time. We can't ahead of ourselves- but trust me Blaine I'll be here, you won't have to do this alone."

Blaine just looked at his father and buried his head in his shoulder. Blaine distantly wondered, how the hell did I end up here?

At some point, Blaine must have exhausted himself because before he knew it, his father was shaking him awake because the doctor had returned. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and prepared to hear the worst.

"Firstly, did you hear from either of his parents?" Dr. Rogers asked.

Everyone in the room was more comfortable with his parents making any important decisions, but as Blaine checked his phone and saw no missed calls or text messages (from anyone other than Kurt's friends), he knew that it was time for them to make the choices.

"No, nothing." Blaine said, nerves tinging his voice.

The doctor sighed. He really didn't want to have to put these kinds of decisions on their shoulders but they really shouldn't wait any longer.

"Okay. Well, the MRI and CAT scan results both show a significant bleed on Kurt's brain with some swelling."

Blaine groaned as if in pain and grabbed ahold of his father's hand again.

"We need your permission to get him into surgery to drain the bleed, which will also help reduce the swelling." Dr. Rogers said while striding over with more forms to sign.

"I-I-I can't do this." Blaine said beginning to hyperventilate. Burt rubbed his back trying to calm him.

"Can we try their parents one more time?" Burt asked and Dr. Rogers looked like he was losing his patience.

"We really shouldn't wait-" He started.

"Two minutes, give us two minutes." Burt begged, still rubbing his son's back.

"Fine- two minutes."

Dr. Rogers turned on his heel and left the room. Burt cursed the doctor a hundred different ways before trying to take the phone from Blaine's grasp.

"No, I'll do it dad." Blaine said adding silently- it is my fault after all.

Blaine dialed 'mother' with a shaking hand. The phone rang and rang and rang. Blaine left another message for Kurt's mom but he was doubtful that she would call back. After hanging up, Blaine sat in silence, contemplating whether he should try Kurt's dad. He looked at his father and decided against it- if Kurt's dad had wanted to be there, he would (just like Burt is there me).

"What do you want to do?" Burt asked and Blaine's jaw dropped.

"Wha- what? You're asking me?" Blaine asked astounded- how was he supposed to make a decision.

"He's your friend- what do you think we should do?" Burt asked.

He stared at his son and he could see the thoughts flying through his head. They both knew what needed to be done: he needed the surgery but neither wanted to be the one to say he needed the brain surgery.

"He-he needs the surgery." Blaine said.

"I think so too." Burt said.

He stood up and went to the door and hailed down the doctor who was waiting anxiously at the nurse's station.

"What have you decided?" Dr. Rogers said.

"We're going to sign off on the surgery- he needs it right?" Blaine asked.

Dr. Rogers seemed a little taken aback that it was the son, the boy who was making the choices. However, when Dr. Rogers handed the papers over to him, Blaine again defaulted to his father- still needed an adult's signature.

"Alright, so the surgery should last about two hours." Dr. Rogers said tucking the clipboard under his arm. "You'll be here?"

"Of course." Blaine said without hesitation.

The two older men in the room, stopped and looked at Blaine. Dr. Rogers nodded his head and exited the room.

"What do we do now?" Blaine asked, looking at his father.

"Now...we wait."
