OK guys to fit in with what I want to do I am changing the time line slightly to make it more realistic since Kurt and Blaine broke up. It's been 7 years since they broke up. I will go through the rest of my story and edit the parts that need editing at some point. This is a very long, and at times morbid chapter. I do hope however that you respect, as the chapter is longer, I may be liable to more mistakes with punctuation. If it gets too bad, please leave a review and I will try to further edit it.

Kurt and the Hospital

Blaine got Kira ready for school. She had started her new Prep school in the September that had passed. Blaine and Sebastian wanted to give her the best chance in the future so paid extra sending her to the local private school that had recently opened in the area. Blaine had just finished braiding her hair, when he heard a crash from the bathroom. Smiling he left Kira for a minute, asking her to go down and wait for breakfast. Kira did while Blaine knocked on the bathroom door

"Seb, are you OK?"
"Yeah. Sorry just tripped in the bath"
"You didn't hurt yourself right?"
"Only my arse. Slipped in the bath again. We really need a bath mat"
"We have one! You just don't like using it saying and I quote 'but its for children and old people'" Blaine said with a smile.

"I am making pancakes for breakfast. What do you want?"
"Just my usual"
"Seb you need something more than coffee!" Blaine protested

"Coffee is all I need baby"
"Fine. But you are having a vitamin packet too" Blaine warned

"Yes Mum" Sebastian grumbled

Blaine smiled before heading downstairs and started making pancakes.

"So Kira, excited about school today?"
"Whose gonna pick me up" Kira asked

"Kelsi and your going over to Emily's to play till we come back. OK your lunch is on the table, pancakes have finished cooking, fruit is on the table, think that's all" Blaine said as he laid everything out, just as Sebastian walked down the stairs

"You need to go" He said kissing softly indicating Blaine needed to start his 50 minutes trip to work.

"I know. Kelsi will be here to pick Kira up in 30 minutes. Everything is ready to go. I will meet you at 2.30pm at Presbyterian Hospital. We have 20 minutes before your appointment then just in case we get held up." Blaine said smiling at Sebastian and kissing Kira

"Sure thing" Seb said kissing Blaine as he grabbed his messenger bag "Love you"

"Always" Blaine finished for Sebastian and left.

An hour later

Blaine was just arriving at school. It was a drive from where he lived, but he had done one of his placements here and had loved it. He'd applied for a job and got it. The Millenium Art Academy was an amazing school that had a huge focus on arts., and best of all it had a mixture of students and was a public school. Blaine or Mr. Anderson as he was called worked in the Music department and he loved his job, he enjoyed doing a subject which everyone in the class wanted to do. He got his classroom ready, after greeting his colleagues and waited for his students to show up.

Lunch Time

Blaine finished his last lesson, checked over the lesson's plans for his cover teacher that afternoon before grabbing his stuff, signing out and leaving for lunch. He got in his car and drove to the Cafe he was meeting Kurt at. He parked up, checking himself in the mirror before getting out and straightening his suit. He checked his hair and grabbed his wallet one more time before taking a seat and waiting for Kurt to arrive. He was just checking his phone for any messages when he looked up and saw Kurt walking in dressed in his glamorous style and started to feel under dressed in his trousers, shirt and jumper combo. Kurt looked around and saw him. He smiled timidly as he sat down opposite him

"Hi" Kurt said

"Hey Kurt. Have you eaten here before?" Blaine ask's politely

"Yes"
"Do you want to order first?" Blaine offered

"No you go, maybe if I give you the money, you can do mine too?" Kurt asked

"Sure. What would you like?"
"You know what I normally eat"
"Kurt that was years ago. I am in no mood for games. I have a strict schedule to keep to. What would you like?" Blaine asked more firmly

"Vegetable melt, low fat cheese with water and salad" He replied promptly and watched as Blaine took his offered money and went to order.

Kurt was taken back by this attitude. Most victims of domestic violence from the little he knew were quiet, though grief did play a part in that and Kurt was still convinced Blaine was a victim of domestic violence and was determined to help him see the light. Especially with that poor little girl. Kurt had created a scenario in his head while he waited. He would rescue Blaine and the little girl. He knew he had driven Blaine away but Blaine had been punished enough. Maybe that was why Blaine was in an abusive relationship, or a relationship with Sebastian because he thought he deserved nothing better after his betrayal. Kurt was ready to forgive him, he would leave Sebastian and maybe in the future the two of them would date. No one had ever matched up to Blaine despite his cheating. Kurt doubted no one would and over the last few days, he decided that he wanted Blaine back. He wanted to be his hero. As his thoughts came to an end Blaine sat down opposite him and offered him the water, before taking a sip of his tea.

"So um I saw you and Sebastian had a little girl. What's her name?" Kurt asked politely

"Kira" Blaine answered with a small smile "She's a mini papa in some ways, but has picked up some of my traits to, so she's a nice mix of us"

"Blaine. At the theatre the other night...why was Sebastian so...angry" Kurt decided to bite the bullet

"He wasn't feeling well. I did request you kept your distance" Blaine reminded him

"I saw when you took your jacket off Blaine, you have bruises on your wrists like someone has grabbed you hard. Did Sebastian do that?"
"Please don't start this Kurt" Blaine answered without a hint of emotion in his voice, but his eyes gave him away and Kurt noted the sad gaze

"Blaine, what his doing...his hurting you right? Why don't you just leave him?"
"He doesn't go it often, and he is genuinely sorry when he does."Blaine argued

"That's what all victims say. What if he hurts Kira?"Kurt tried to reason
"Kurt, he'd die before hurting Kira. And Kurt let me be very clear about this. I am not a victim of domestic violence. Sebastian seriously can not help it. Do you think I would really stay with him if he was abusing me?"
"You've always craved love and attention. I think that was why you strayed from me when I went to New York. You could easily tolerate it because you feel you don't deserve better after what you did for me. But I forgave you for that a few years ago, so you can stop punishing yourself and get up and move on. You don't deserve to be hurt anymore"
"Oh my god, Kurt, you think..." Thankfully Blaine was interrupted when food arrived and Kurt still gazed at Blaine and Blaine met his gaze straight on. "...You think I would think so little of myself I would punish myself for what I did to you all those years ago? No offence Kurt but by the time I had graduated, I had stopped blaming myself. Sam was a great help. While I regret how we broke up, I don't really regret breaking up any more. In high insight I am glad that you didn't fully forgive me. I was able to love again. Yes I made a wrong choice, but as Sebastian pointed out and Sam I am only human. Humans make mistakes. It's nice you 'forgave' me eventually but I learnt to love without your forgiveness years ago. When I met Sebastian, I fell in love, and his been my guiding light ever since"

Kurt was taken back by this, but as he looked at Blaine, Kurt knew he was being honest about it and he was a little hurt that Blaine had been happy the two had never gotten back together.

"So what happened at the theatre?" Kurt asked again
"Sebastian isn't well. It's a side effect of his medication" Blaine answered shortly
"What is he on Steroids like when he was a Warbler? Did he get addicted or something?" Kurt asked intrigued

"Look Kurt I can't tell you any more until I have spoken with Sebastian so I am going to say this once, then we move onto other topics. Sebastian is sick. He is not abusing me or Kira. I love him and if you say another thing about him abusing me again, I will walk out. You can't dictate my life any more. You lost that right when you couldn't move on. Now I would like to have lunch with an old friend and catch up on what his been doing." Blaine finished his speech and Kurt mutely nodded

"I trust you" He said quietly

"Good. Now tell me why are you behind stage doing costumes when you would make an amazing Angel in Rent. Apparently Nick saw you a while back?"
"I'm Angel's understudy. So I get to go on sometimes, but other than that I make sure all costumes are ready. It's a busy job but I do enjoy it."
"I bet."
"So tell me Blaine, what has happened to you recently? Where are you working now?"
"Well I love music but decided music wasn't going to provide a stable income even though Sebastian was going to be earning a lot as a lawyer once he graduated. He takes on equality cases or cases that have involved an infringement of peoples human rights. I wanted to participate, so I chose to do music and education. Got a job at a high school. Survived my training and and my first year and now work in a Art's centred high school"
"Wow! That is great Blaine. So how did Kira come about?" Kurt asked intrigued

"Well Sebastian and I got into a big fight during our second year over certain things. Turns out when his drunk, he becomes a little Bi and doesn't really mind who he sleeps with. He slept with this girl. Came back and told me the next day. Apologised like crazy. I forgave him. A month later we get a call, it's the girl Sebastian slept with, tell him she's pregnant and she's thinking of terminating the baby. Sebastian and I both hated the idea. We talked about it and decided to ask if we could have her when she was born. We agreed everything and 8 months later we had a beautiful baby girl."
"Oh Wow. Blaine...that's...wow!" Kurt couldn't even finish and Blaine smiled

"I managed to get ahead in my course, had my last exam the day she was born. It was hard at first, Sebastian didn't have a job yet so couldn't take paternity leave so my Mum came to live with us for a year while Sebastian and I finished qualifying and found jobs. She took care of Kira around our work loads. Then when I was sorted with a job, I managed to get her into day care and the rest is history"

"Wow. I mean that's amazing. But wait I thought your Mum and Dad didn't approve of you being gay?"
"Not when I was in high school. Once I got to college and they met Sebastian, I think my Dad realised my happiness was more important than my sexuality. I think they bot saw how devtastatted I was when we finished. And you know that gun scare at McKinely? Really changed his mind about me. Plus I think he was also sold because Sebastian had been the one to encourage me into something more meaningful, my fathers words not mine, and Sebastian being a lawyer. Secure future for his son. Good career opportunity. Well off and prosperous family. My Dad was sold and then when he had a grandaughter to spoil, despite the circumstances he was so happy."
"What about the Slushie incident?" Kurt asked
Blaine became really quiet then "He was just OK with it"

"Your lying Blaine." Kurt tried
"Never mind. He forgave. They are happy with Sebastian." Blaine finished "So how about you? Are you seeing anyone? Hows your family doing? Your Dad his OK after his scare yeah?"
"I don't really have time to see anybody. I have had a few casual boyfriends but nothing that's stuck. They are fine, Carol and Burt are happy. They have their first grandchild courtesy of Finn and Rachel"
"Wow congrats to them" Blaine said smiling

"...and my Dad is fine. Cancer went into remission. His been free for over 6 years now"
"That's brilliant Kurt. I'm so happy for him. Your Dad is amazing. Actually I found your whole family amazing, whatever happened, you all seemed to bounce back" Blaine smiled at the memory before looking at his watch. He still had an hour to get to the hospital. He'd be fine

"So do you keep in touch with anyone from New Direction?" Kurt asked
"Only Sam and Mike briefly. I never got very close to any of the others, you know to have that friendship beyond high school. The Warblers however, Wes lives about an hour from me, David is in Calafornia but we still keep in touch, Jeff and Nick live about half an hour from us and of course Sam"

"Even though you spent two years at McKinely, and two years at Dalton?" Kurt asked intregued
"What can I say? New Directions for my first year were your friends, not mine, not really and by senior year, I was too busy to form any solid relationships apart from Sam ,Tina and Mike."

They continued to speak for a while before Blaine's alarm went off

"That's good. Look Kurt I have to go. I have a meeting soon. It's been great to see you and catch up" Blaine said pulling his coat on

"Yes. It was. Can we do this again?"
"Maybe. I need to talk to Sebastian again"
"This, I don't, I just don't understand why you need Sebastian's permission?" Kurt said

Blaine took pity on him in that moment. Kurt did seem to genuinely care about Blaine and Blaine missed having someone who cared about him and only him.

"Tell you what. Even if Sebastian doesn't like the idea that we meet up, I will still tell you what's wrong so hopefully you understand why we have reached that decision. I am sorry I can't tell you more, but it's not mine to tell with his permission." Blaine answered before hugging Kurt. Kurt gratefully returned the hug. He had a lot to think about.

"Look Blaine regardless of what's decided. Please know that despite everything over the years I still care for you and I want to help you. So if you need anything, please get in touch. OK?"

"I will. Thank you Kurt." Blaine said and grabbed his coat and left

Blaine arrived at the hospital and met Sebastian outside. They walked in and waited 20 minutes before they were called.

"Mr Anderson and Mr Smyth. I hope you are both well?" Dr. Manx asked formally
"We are" Blaine said quietly. The doctor then dropped the formalities.

"Sebastian, any more episodes? And do you know specific triggers?" She questioned him

"A few. One big one was seeing Blaine with an ex boyfriend from school and a few minor ones. My moods have also rapidly been changing too"
"Headache? Sickness? Fatigue? With the current medication?" Shoe continued to question
"No more than usual."
"OK. We need to get your CT and MRI scan done then we can see if we have made any progress with treatment"

Sebastian went for a scan, while Blaine waited outside for him. The doctor had the results back less than half an hour later and called them back into the office

"Let me just refresh my memories, you were diagnosed with Meduloblastoma 5 years ago. When you were first diagnosed we did radiation therapy and managed to shrink it in size before we removed it. We followed we Chemo to destroy the remaining cells which was successful. You were in remission 3 years ago. 6 Months ago you came here because you had similar symptoms. The tumour had returned to a different area in your brain, the frontal lobe. We followed the same procedure and I have just got your results back from the scans." he said pulling out the scans and looking at them "Can you see this mass here? This is your tumour. Now the good news is it hasn't grown any more. The bad news is it hasn't got any smaller. With this in mind I think our next course of action is to try a higher dose of radiotherapy. I would like to warn you at this point, that while we may be able to shrink this, it will be unlikely we will be able to remove it unless it shrinks dramatically as it has already connected to too much tissue in the surrounding area. I am going to be frank with both of you. I believe doing this will buy us time however it is highly unlikely this is curable. The normal symptoms that may be exhibited and hair loss could be a problem, though you were fine last time so maybe that won't be a worry. Now you will need to continue to take the steroids to keep the liquid around the tumour to a minimum and maximise effectiveness of radiation. I am sorry the news isn't more uplifting"
"So you mean it's terminal?" Sebastian asked already knowing the truth

"It's stage 4, yes. Now the good thing is treatment will buy us time. I've read of patients who have lived with a tumour like this for 7 years. Unfortunately I have also known patients that have lasted months. Once the treatment is over, we will have a better idea of what time frame we are dealing with" Dr. Manx answered

Blaine looked stunned and Sebastian took his hands, gently rubbing his hands over his knuckles.

"Can we schedule treatment to start next week?" The Doctor asked

"Can Blaine and I talk about it please, before we decide anything?" Sebastian asked. He knew Blaine needed to feel some form of control over this choice, as he had been very pro-treatment.
"Sebastian! Are you serious? You have to have that treatment. It could help" Blaine argued

"I will give you a moment alone" The doctor said exiting the room
"It's only going to by us time" Sebastian said sadly

"Is this about the steroids? Sebastian the tumour can affect behaviour and personality too. It's not just the drugs. It won't change your mood or anything dramatically" Blaine tried to reason

"I don't know Blaine" Sebastian said

"You can't give up. You could have another 7 years inside you, maybe longer? You need to continue this treatment Sebastian."

"How about we deal. We'll try one more round, then see if any progress is made. If we make progress, we'll talk about more later about how much treatment we can have. If not, we'll discuss other options" Sebastian tried to reason

"It just sounds like you are giving up" Blaine argued

"I'm not. I just want things on my terms. Everything about this tumour is uncontrollable. Treatment I can control. You and I both know we need our own forms of control. I can't control what this tumour is doing but I can control the treatment" Sebastian tried to argue

"I'm sorry Sebastian. I know. I am trying to be supportive but I just, I can't afford to lose you. I don't think I will ever be ready, but I won't be ready any time soon" Blaine said quietly and Sebastian saw the tears in his eyes "I'm sorry Blaine"

"No. It's your life. I'm only your partner, and we only have a daughter!" Blaine said angrily
"Don't do this Blaine. Please. I already feel guilty enough but I'm just, I need to be back in control?" Sebastian begged

"I know you do. I'm sorry for pulling that card in you. I just really love you. You win with a slight clause if it decreases the tumour, you continue the treatment as long as you can Seb until WE make the choice about when to stop."

"That's not fair Blaine" Sebastian said

"Hear me out please? I promise when it comes down to it, I will respect your final choice BUT you must listen to my argument and my opinion and take them on board. Think about them and evaluate them like the lawyer you are. Then if you still don't agree with me, and wish to do it your way, I will do everything in my power to support you" Blaine reasoned "I just, I can't bear the idea of being without you and Kira can not be without her father longer than she has to"
"Blaine..." Sebastian attempted to reason even though he knew he would give into Blaine. It was fair to at least listen to him as this would affect both their lives.
"I know it will happen eventually. I'm not completely naïve. I just want as long as possible with you." Blaine finished his speech
"Blaine. I love how much you want me to be around as long as possible but..." He didn't finish before Blaine pulled Sebastian into him for a hug

"I know Seb. Let's get this appointment booked and get home. I want to see Kira" Blaine said

Sebastian knew that for now the argument was over. No doubt in the coming months this argument would continue to surface but all Sebastian could do is agree with Baine's wish at least for time time being

"Fine. I promise when it comes to it, we will discuss it and we will come to a solution" Sebastian said in his professional voice before calling the doctor back in.

"Yes we will book the next available appointment" Sebastian said
"Excellent. Next week. Monday 12.30pm" Dr. Manx replied
"Yes. That's fine. How many sessions do you think we'll need?" Sebastian asked

"We'll start every day, for 2 weeks starting next week. Then we'll check the results and see what else is required. Do you have a local place to stay?"
"No but I can drive him back and forth. Summer holidays start next week so that won't be a problem" Blaine answered
"Excellent. It's up to you whether you want to continue working. I would recommend keeping things as normal as possible for the moment. We'll know more once the treatment has finished. Of course there will be no treatment at weekends which should give you a chance to recover"
"Thank you doctor, we'll see you in 2 weeks" Blaine said and Sebastian shook hands with the Doctor before grasping Blaine's hand as he left. They booked the treatment and left the hospital.

"Let's get you home Seb. I think family bonding time is required" Blaine said with a sad smile.
