Performing had always been what Blaine thought he was going to do with his future, but when it came time to actually decide, he didn't want to do it anymore. In the beginning, he felt kind of lost. Performing was all he had ever known, but he knew that he needed to find something else. That was how he stumbled upon teaching. Blaine knew he liked children and he liked teaching people things, so it seemed like a good fit. He got into NYU and graduated four years later with his degree in Elementary Education.

There was a lot Blaine liked about teaching. He loved interacting with the kids and seeing their faces light up when they finally understood something. However, there was one thing that Blaine didn't like. That was the amount of germs little kids carried. Blaine had become used to five year olds coughing and sneezing all over him, which was why he wasn't surprised when he woke up with an extremely sore throat and an awful headache. He felt miserable, but not bad enough to miss work, so he pushed himself out of bed and stood up. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and had to grab onto the bedside table to steady himself. He was glad Kurt was already at work, he would surely make him stay home.

Suddenly, he heard Kylie crying through the baby monitor. "I'm coming baby." Blaine said weakly, coughing into his elbow. He went down the hallway into Kylie's room and picked her up from her crib. "How are you today?" he cooed. Kylie babbled something back and Blaine smiled at her. Suddenly, he felt the urge cough and turned his body away so he wouldn't do it on her. "Daddy isn't feeling too hot today." he got out before coughing again.

After he had finished, he went to into the kitchen and fixed Kylie a bottle. He tried to eat something himself, but he really didn't have an appetite. So, he instead dressed Kylie in a cute little outfit and got her stuff together before heading out the door. Since Kurt went to work earlier than he did, It was his job to get her to daycare. Plus, it was right by the school where he taught. So, he put Kylie in the stroller and walked the few blocks to her daycare. Once there, he pushed her inside and waited at the front desk.

"Hi Jenny." Blaine said to the pretty, young blonde woman behind the desk.

"Hi Mr. Anderson-Hummel and hello to you, Miss Kylie." Jenny said with a bright smile. "Are you ready to come and play?" Blaine lifted her out of the strolled and handed her to Jenny. Kylie immediately smiled and babbled away. Jenny was always her favorite person at the daycare.

"I'll be back after school lets out." Blaine told her.

"Blaine, I know the drill." Jenny laughed. "She will be fine."

"Okay, bye sweetie." Blaine said, with a wave as he went out the door. Then, he walked the extra block down to his work. He went inside and went down to his classroom where a handful of students were already waiting outside the door for him.

"Hi Mr. Anderson-Hummel!" They said happily.

"Hi guys," Blaine replied hoarsely as he unlocked the door. Once inside, Blaine could hear the kids talking to him, but he was having a really hard time concentrating because of the pounding in his head. So, he just nodded as they talked. When all of the kids arrived and sat down in their seats, Blaine was just feeling awful. There was no way he could actually teach today, so he just put on an educational movie for them to watch. Blaine sat in the back of the room at his desk and tried desperately to sooth his sore throat, which felt like it was on fire.

"Mr. Anderson- Hummel…" he heard softly. Blaine snapped out of his gaze and looked at the little girl in front of him. Her name was Amy and she was the sweetest little girl.

"Yes, Amy?" Blaine asked in a whisper, because he didn't have much of a voice left.

"Do you need to go see the nurse?" she asked. Blaine smiled at her.

"No sweetie," Blaine told her. "I'm fine. Thank you for caring though. Now, go ahead and watch the movie." he got out before breaking off into a harsh cough. Amy didn't look convinced, but she did go back and watch the movie. After the movie was over, Blaine knew he had to teach them something. They couldn't watch movies all day.

"Alright guys, Get out your math workbooks." Blaine told them. "A-and turn t-to page-" Suddenly, he broke off into a coughing fit and he couldn't stop. "I-I'll be right b-back." he coughed out as he grabbed his water bottle and went in the hallway. Once outside the classroom, Blaine let the coughs rip through his body. He felt like he couldn't breathe. He hadn't had an asthma attack since he graduated high school, but he felt like he was having one right now.

"Blaine?" he heard. Blaine looked up and saw Katie, the teacher next door to him. "Are you okay?" Blaine took a sip of his water and tried desperately to breathe. After a few deep breaths, he could finally talk.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." He said.

"You don't look fine." Katie said as she placed her hand on his forehead. "You've got a fever too."

"It's nothing." Blaine said nonchalantly. "I've only got like two hours left. I can make it through."

"No," Katie said. "I'll handle your kids. You have to head home before you keel over."

"But…" Blaine began to argue.

"No arguing with me." Katie said cutting him off. Blaine sighed and eventually gave up, knowing she was right.

"Let me just go tell them." he told her, before walking back into the classroom. Instantly, thirty pairs of eyes were on him. "Okay, guys, you're going to go over to Miss Smith's classroom for the rest of the day because I have to leave early. So, grab your things and head on over." The kids, who still looked a little scared, nodded and collected their things before heading down the hallway to Katie's classroom.

"Come on in kids. You can go and sit on the carpet." Katie told them. Blaine collected his things and then went to say goodbye and thank you to Katie.

"Thank you so much for this." Blaine said.

"Don't worry about it. Just go home and feel better." Katie told him. Blaine nodded and then headed out of the school. Then, it occurred to him. He still needed to pick up Kylie. So, he walked down to the daycare and waited at the front desk.

"Blaine, what are you doing here?" Jenny asked.

"I wasn't feeling to hot, so I'm heading home, but I have to pick Kylie up." Blaine explained.

"Oh, okay." Jenny replied sadly. "I'll go get her for you." After that she disappeared and came back a few minutes later pushing Kylie in the stroller.

"Hi baby," Blaine cooed weakly. Kylie smiled and reached her hands out to her daddy, but Blaine just felt too weak to hold her, so he just bent down and kissed her head. 'Thanks Jenny." he replied.

"No problem, feel better." Jenny replied. Blaine gave her a nod and then headed back home. The walked home was awful and Blaine felt like he was never going to make it, but eventually he did. It was still early, so he put Kylie down for nap. Then he laid down on the couch and covered himself in a large fleece blanket. He fell asleep and when he woke up, Kurt was sitting on the edge of the couch running his fingers through his now curly hair.

"Hey," Blaine replied weakly.

"Hi." Kurt replied. "You should have told me you were feeling sick. I would have came home sooner."

"I'm not that bad." Blaine replied with a cough.

"Let's let the thermometer be the judge of that." Kurt replied. He went down the hallway to the bathroom and grabbed the thermometer before walking back to the living room. "Okay, open up." Blaine did as he was told and held the thermometer in his mouth. It beeped and Kurt took it from his mouth. "Oohh, 101.5." Kurt said. "There is no way you should have been at school today. Let's get you to bed." Blaine nodded and allowed Kurt to help him into bed. Once under the covers, Blaine looked up at Kurt. "Do you need anything?"

"No…" He whimpered.

"Okay, sweetie." Kurt replied. "I'm going to go and look after Kylie, but I'll be back to check on you. Just try and get some rest." Blaine nodded and closed his eyes. He fell back to sleep until around ten when Kurt was getting into bed.

"Kylie…" he murmured.

"Is asleep." Kurt told him. "She's fine. Just go back to sleep." he added wrapping his arms around Blaine's body. Blaine settled into his embrace and drifted back to sleep.

Then, in the middle of the night, he sprang out of Kurt's embrace and broke into an awful cough fit. He couldn't stop. The coughs ripped through him and made him feel like he could barely breathe. "Honey?" Kurt said still half asleep.

"J-just g-go back to sleep." He coughed. "I'm fine."

"Sweetie, hold on, I'll go grab you some cough syrup." Kurt said getting up from bed. He ran to the bathroom and grabbed the bottle of cough syrup and a dixie cup full of water. "Here honey," Kurt tried to give it to him, but Blaine wasn't finished cough. He continued to cough and eventually started to gag. Kurt quickly grabbed the trashcan and held it under Blaine's mouth as he threw up. After he threw up, Blaine was left breathing heavily, but luckily wasn't coughing anymore. "Do you feel better?" Kurt asked. Blaine nodded. He took the water and the cough syrup from him and swallowed them both before snuggling back down underneath the covers.

"I'm sorry I woke you up." Blaine replied.

"Don't apologize. It's in my job description to take care of you when you're sick. In sickness and health, right?" Kurt told him. "Don't worry, you feel better in a few days."

"I hope so." Blaine replied as he drifted off to sleep again.

Unfortunately, Blaine didn't get better in the next few days, he only got worse...

Uhhh-Ohhh...This doesn't sound good.
