Hello again everyone! I'm not going to bore you up here, so more at the end!

BPOV

Sebastian sleeps like he hasn't slept in years. Mom says that he hasn't slept more than an hour at a time since I first went into the coma. As he sleeps, I lightly trace the dark circles under his eyes, upset that I've left them there. He stirs and blinks, his long eyelashes brushing my fingertips as I pull back. He smiles at me for a moment before frowning. "What's wrong?" he asks. "You look upset." I shrug, looking down. He gently lifts my chin until I look at him. "What is it?"

I sigh softly. "Have you seen yourself lately?" He just raises an eyebrow at me. "I hate that it's my fault…you haven't been sleeping or eating or…anything."

"It's not like you could help it," he reminds me.

I groan. "But still! That doesn't make it…any less my fault."

He hugs me gently. "Alright, fine, it's your fault. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is that you're going to be okay, and so am I." I nod begrudgingly, but he doesn't look fooled. "Something else bothering you?"

I hesitate, but nod. "I'm supposed to…start 'rehabilitation' today."

"So?" he asks.

"So, I don't need it!" I explode. "It's not like I…had a stroke and have to relearn to tie my…shoelaces and shit!"

"That's what you're upset about? That rehabilitation is for invalids who can't tie their own shoelaces?" he asks. I nod hesitantly. "That's not what it is, Blaine. I mean, it can be, but that's not what yours is about."

"What is mine about?" I ask.

He pulls me closer. "You stayed completely still for almost a month. When muscles stop getting used they deteriorate quickly. This is just to get you back to where you should be. No one thinks you're incapable of basic living skills."

I lean against his chest, sighing heavily. "I'm sorry for acting like…a brat. I'm just…stressed out."

He nods. "I understand. It's a lot to deal with all at once. But it'll be okay. We'll get through it together, like always."

Just then, a woman comes through the door. "Hello Mr. Anderson. I'm Katie. I'll be your physical therapist."

I shake her hand. "Hi. I'm Blaine." I look at Sebastian. "This is my boyfriend…Sebastian."

She smiles lightly. "Nice to meet you two. Now, today we just need to do a preliminary evaluation. I'm sorry Sebastian, but I'm going to have to ask you to step out. It's just the hospital's policy."

He looks at me, silently asking if it's okay. I nod. "I'll be right outside," he tells me. With a final look back, he walks out the door.

SPOV

Out in the hallway, I find Julie. Something has been bothering me, and now that Blaine is okay I can ask. "Hey Julie, can I talk to you?" I ask hesitantly.

She nods. "Sure, Sebastian. Is everything alright?"

"Um…I was just wondering…when this all started I expected you to be really upset, and you weren't. Why not? I mean, your son was in a coma, and you were so calm."

She smiles sadly, as if she knew this was coming. "I wasn't calm, really," she explains. "I was upset. But what was done was done, and getting upset about it wouldn't have changed anything. Besides, I had you to think of. You were beating yourself up about it so much, and me getting upset and emotional would only have hurt you more. I couldn't do anything for him, but I could do at least that for you. I broke down in my car when you told me what happened, and in the ladies room a couple of times. But out here my boys needed me to be strong."

I nod and sit down next to her. "I can't believe it's really going to be over," I murmur.

She smiles and hugs me gently. "Believe it, honey. Have you told him about your father yet?"

I shake my head. "He's already more worried about me than he should be. I don't want him to have to deal with my issues too."

"I think you should tell him," she says after considering it. "I know you don't want him to worry, but he's going to anyway, just like you worry about him. Besides, I think he'd be very proud of you if he knew what you did. I know I am."

I smile and blush slightly. "I had to. I couldn't let him hurt Blaine again."

"Speaking of that," she says, smiling, "I have something for you." She hands me an envelope. I open it carefully, pulling out the paper inside and reading it in amazement. She grins and ruffles my hair lightly. "Welcome to the family, sweetheart."

Katie comes out of the room and says we can go back in.

"You go ahead," Julie says. "I'll meet you in there."

Blaine smiles tiredly at me as I enter. "Hey," I murmur, taking a seat on the bed, "How'd it go?"

He shrugs. "Fine. I didn't realize how weak I am. I walked across the room and had to sit down."

He leans against me. "Well," I say, "At least you'll be back to normal soon."

He nods and kisses my cheek. "What were you up to?" he asks.

"Talking to your mom." I show him the letter and he smiles. "Apparently what my father did made them process everything much faster than normal, so it's official."

He nods absentmindedly, his brow furrowed. "What happened with your father?" He asks. "I mean, I know what happened with us. Did they just charge him with assault or something?"

I bite my lip. "Actually, they charged him with everything."

He raises an eyebrow at me. "Everything?"

"You know how, after you found me, I said I didn't want to report him to the police because I didn't want to talk about it?"

He nods. "Yeah…"

"Well," I explain, "I couldn't risk the chance of him hurting you again, so…I told them. Everything."

He freezes, shocked for a moment. Then he hugs me tightly. "I'm so proud of you!" I hug him back gingerly, trying not to hurt him. When he pulls back, he stares at me for a long moment.

"What?" I ask.

He finally smiles. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Just then, the door opens, and we see Kurt standing in the doorway. "Blaine! How are-" He notices me and freezes.

I smile. "Hi Kurt." He hesitates for a moment, then turns and walks back out. Blaine tries to call after him, but his voice is still too weak. He looks upset. Shit. "It's okay," I try.

"He's…mad at me…" he whispers hoarsely.

I sigh. "Don't get upset, okay? I'll go talk to him." He looks at me skeptically. "I promise I won't be mean. I'll try to get him to come back so we can explain."

He nods, so I hop off the bed and follow Kurt out the door.

Ooh, drama! I'm trying to keep advance chapters saved so there won't be so long in between updates. I tried to make a steady update schedule, but I get too excited to show you what I've done. Anyway, please review! It inspires me!

Love you!
