6 weeks later…
Kurt was buzzing. He was finally, FINALLY, getting the cast off of his arm. His ribs and fingers were all healed, and the cut on his head did leave a teeny weeny scar, but at least now when his cast was taken off, he could navigate himself around in the chair.
They were on their way to the hospital, Kurt couldn't keep still. He swore if he heard Finn say 'Calm down Dude' for the 10th time, he would cut him, with his new and fully functioning hand!
Burt wheeled Kurt into the hospital and left him in the waiting room with Finn, while Burt signed him in.
It didn't take long before Kurt's name was called, and he had a wide grin on his face that could put the Cheshire cat to shame.
"Now, let's get started. I took a look at the X-rays you got done a couple of days ago and I am very pleased to say that the breaks have healed completely!"
Kurt sighed in relief. The doctor continued, "you will need to do some physical therapy to gain some strength back into your wrist. It'll be a little stiff when I take the cast off, but I'll show you a couple of stretches to help loosen your wrist a little bit before you see the physical therapist, alright?" Kurt nodded. "Great, let's get started now!"
The doctor handed Kurt a pair of goggles. "Put these safety glasses to protect your eyes from bits of the cast that might fly out. I also want you to wear these earmuffs because the saw is quite loud. Now, this is the saw I'll be using to cut the cast. You have nothing to worry about, it is vey safe procedure." She started with the saw, Kurt watched in interest, as the saw cut through his cast. His arm was feeling tingly, and it felt like it was vibrating.
"Okay, that's all done, here are the instruments I am going to use, when I take off the cast, I'll cut the padding with these scissors. Once I take a look at the skin and see that everything is alright, I'll wash it with a light soap, because it might look a little bit gross," the doctor proceeded to remove the cast from his arm, when it was removed, he washed Kurt's bare arm.
"Right, now try and move your wrist around for me? The start wiggling your fingers and let me know if it's painful or a bit stuff."
Kurt did as he was told, "It's stiff, it doesn't hurt at all!"
"That's great Kurt! I think you're free to go now! It was great seeing you! I'll see you in a few weeks and we'll take a look at your legs," the doctor shook hands with Kurt and his father.
"Thanks doctor! Finally, I can get back to moisturising, navigating the chair by myself, and now, I can hit Finn when he hides the remote!"
"Hey!" Finn protested, causing Kurt to giggle.
Kurt was about to start navigating his wheelchair, until Burt put a hand on his shoulder.
"Not so fast, your wrist still needs physical therapy, remember? So no using it until we wait for the nurse to come in and start."
Kurt sighed in protest, then started inspecting his arm. It was very pale, well, and paler than usual, it did still look a little gross, but that's what moisturising was for!
Kurt spent the hour of physical therapy wiggling his fingers and moving his wrist around, it was starting to feel stronger the more he did it.
When the hour was finished, Kurt was able to use his hand, so he started to navigate himself around the room in the wheelchair to get some practice.
"Look! I'm able bodied!" Kurt cried in happiness. Finn laughed.
"Don't go crazy kid or you'll tire yourself out! You ready to go?" Burt said happily.
Kurt didn't need to be told twice, next thing he knew he was racing Finn to the car.
These are supposed to be my 18 year old kids, Burt shook his head.
When they made it back to the house, Carole greeted them, and Kurt was showing off his wheel chair moves with his now functioning arm.
Blaine would be coming round later to celebrate. Burt and Carole were going on a date tonight, so the 4 boys were going to order pizza and watch movies for the night.
Burt was hesitant about leaving Kurt, but Carole reminded him that he would be with the 3 boys, and they could leave early from the date if he wished.
The boys however, were delighted to get the house to themselves. They gorged on pizza, drank way too much coke, and watched a load of rubbish horror movies from the 80's.
It started to rain outside, and Kurt kept glancing out the window. This didn't go unnoticed by anyone.
"Why do you keep looking out the window Kurt?" Sam asked.
"I'm just worried about dad, he was driving tonight," Kurt answered.
"Do you wanna call him?" Finn asked, handing Kurt the phone. Kurt grabbed the phone and called Burt.
"Hello?"
"Oh hi dad," Kurt breathed out in relief.
"Is there something wrong kid? Do I need to come home?"
"No, your fine, it's just it's raining outside and I was worried about you," Kurt bit his bottom lip.
Burt felt awful for the kid. Was this what was going to happen every time he was out and it was raining? Having his son ringing him in a panic?
"Alright kid, I can text you every half an hour if you want me to?" Burt said, thinking it would help.
"Can we say 10?" Kurt asked hesitantly.
"Sure kid, I'll text you in 10. Love you,"
"Love you too." Kurt hung up and settled under the sofa and asked the boys for the plot of the movie they were currently watching.
"How could you be scared of the freaking Gremlins Finn!" Sam cried, causing Kurt and Blaine to howl with laughter.
"Their cute to start with, but when they turn evil, I don't know, they scared me since I was a kid!" Finn said sheepishly.
"The guy was an idiot though, he was given clear instructions on what to do with them, but did he listen? Nope" Kurt said, popping the 'P'.
"Totally, now, Jaws?" Blaine said, popping the DVD into the DVD player.
Kurt kept glancing down at his phone, it's been 20 minutes since his dad texted him last. He was supposed to have texted twice in that time.
Kurt ignored it but when it reached the half an hour time, Kurt was starting to panic. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. He felt his breathing speed up, and Blaine trying to calm him down.
"Kurt! Honey, breathe for me! Sam, can you get me a paper bag?" Blaine asked. He's had more experience with these from his past.
When Sam returned with a paper bag that Carole would use to make their lunches, he handed it to Kurt who continued to blow into the bag. Kurt continued this for 5 more minutes, until Burt and Carole came home and saw the sight.
"Oh my God Kurt!" Burt cried, running over to his son who's breathing was starting to slow down.
"I think when you didn't text him for a while he started to panic." Blaine presumed.
"Kid, I'm sorry I was driving back! It's okay, I'm here..." Burt murmured in Kurt's ear. When Kurt started to cry into Burt's shoulder, everyone else left the room to give the two Hummel men some space.
"I am so sorry Kurt, I knew it was too soon to leave you," Burt said.
"No dad, I'm just being a pathetic child," Kurt said, putting his hand to his mouth.
"No son, you were just worried. We both have been through something very traumatic. I've been thinking about this for a while, for both of us, but what do you say we see a therapist?" Burt asked hesitantly.
"I'm not crazy dad," Kurt protested.
"I know, I know, but wouldn't it be a good thing to talk about our problems? Talking is the best medicine if we want a good outcome. Your not doing this alone, I'm going too," Burt reminded.
"Okay,"
"Come on Kurt, it…Okay?" Burt asked incredulously.
"Okay, we'll do it," Kurt said, nodding his head.
Burt kissed Kurt on the forehead and ruffled up his hair. "We'll get through this together, alright? It'll take a while, but we will get there," Burt promised.
"We'll do it together".
So not a lot happened in this chapter, but you got my longest chapter ever from 'Our Friendship Never Dies'!
I'm thinking of bringing the story to a close after Kurt goes through P.T on his legs, because what else can I really talk about? Haha!
And that means you'll all get your long awaited Hummel Home Invasion fic which I am very excited about!
