Hey guys! I'm sorry I'm not updating more often. I'm pretty busy with school and other activities. Spring is too busy. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Light shone through the windows in Kurt's bedroom as night changed into morning. Kurt slowly opened his eyes and looked to the beautiful man lying beside him. Waking up today felt so different from the day just a few weeks ago. They were together. It wasn't just some fling. Kurt knew, even though this was only the beginning of their relationship that he cared about Blaine so much and that he couldn't imagine his life without him. Before pulling back the covers, Kurt pressed a gentle kiss to Blaine's temple. Then, he slowly got out of bed, careful not to wake up Blaine, and wandered into the kitchen. Kurt was praying that Rachel wasn't up yet, but unfortunately she was. She sat at the table with her usual cup of coffee and stared at Kurt.
"What?" Kurt asked.
"What are you doing?" Rachel questioned.
"Getting coffee before work." Kurt put simply. "... and trying not to kill you." he muttered as he turned around to face the coffee pot.
"I know that Blaine is in your room." Rachel stated.
"And?" Kurt replied.
"Stop screwing the bosses son to get special treatment." Rachel said nastily. "That's just a new kind of desperate." Kurt was shocked at what had come out of her mouth. Even for Rachel, that was mean.
"For your information Rachel, I am not getting any special treatment and I'm not screwing Blaine." Kurt said. "The fact that you automatically assume that, just highlights your own insecurities because we all know that you're not at the top of this program like you hoped you'd be. So if you don't mind, stay out of my business." he spat out before grabbing his coffee cup and heading back to his room. When he got back in and shut the door, Kurt felt like he was going to explode. What gave her the audacity to talk to him like that?
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked sleepily from the bed where he was just waking up.
"Nothing, just Rachel being her typical bitchy self." Kurt huffed out.
"She doesn't want me here, does she?" Blaine asked softly.
"I want you here." Kurt replied.
"That's not what I asked." Blaine told him.
"Look, it doesn't matter what Rachel says. I pay half of the rent and I say that you can stay here." Kurt huffed out impatiently.
"Come 'ere." Blaine said as he sat up with arms outstretched. Kurt set the coffee cup on the nightstand and then walked over and sat down cuddled in Blaine's arms.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you're very cute when you're angry?" Blaine laughed.
"Only you." Kurt said as he pressed a kiss to Blaine's lips. "Now, come on, we're going to be late for work." he added pressing another quick kiss onto Blaine's lips before standing up and heading into the bathroom. Blaine smiled as he watched Kurt leave. How had he gotten so lucky? Kurt truly was the nicest man he had ever met. Blaine went to his bag and grabbed his pair of scrubs and pulled them on. Then, he pulled out his last bottle of hair gel and shook it until a small dollop of it came out of the bottle. Blaine frowned, this wasn't going to last him the week, but it was all he had, so he put it onto his head. After, Blaine compulsively grabbed his bags and went into the hallway.
"What are you doing with your stuff?" Kurt asked, already dressed in his scrubs.
"I-uh…" Blaine stuttered.
"Is this your way of telling me you don't want to live here?" Kurt asked with a smile. "Because I'm not accepting that."
"No..it was just a force of habit." Blaine replied. He walked back into Kurt's bedroom and placed his bags on Kurt's bed. "Are you ready to go?" Kurt nodded and linked hands with Blaine, who looked around nervously.
"She already left. You don't have to be nervous." Kurt told him. Blaine let out a sigh of relief and walked downstairs with Kurt. "Normally, Rachel and I carpool to work, but seeing as she's not too happy with me…" Kurt trailed off.
"We can take my car." Blaine said. "I'm sorry...about how it looks." Blaine opened the car door and Kurt looked into the backseat. There were mounds out clothes and other items strewn across the backseat. Kurt wondered exactly how long Blaine had been living out of his car.
"Don't be sorry." Kurt said. "I don't see anything wrong with it." Blaine smiled back at Kurt and then went around and got in the driver's side. Fifteen minutes later, they were at the hospital and walked to rounds.
"Does your brother know that your dad kicked you out?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"No, and I'd like it to stay that way." Blaine replied. "He hasn't figured it out yet."
"But Blaine-" Kurt pushed.
"No, Kurt. That's the way I want it. Don't push me into something I don't want to do." Blaine said softly.
"Okay, if that's really what you want." Kurt said. They walked to rounds where the rest of their group was waiting with Dr. Anderson. Rachel gave them both a glare before turning back towards her clipboard.
"Nice of you two to join us." Dr. Anderson said.
"Sorry sir." Kurt replied. Dr. Anderson gave both of them a look before starting rounds. At the end, Blaine was pulled onto a surgery while Kurt was put in the pit.
"You're so lucky." Kurt groaned. "You get to cut open some guys chest while I get the flu infested population of New York."
"Correction, I get to watch Cooper cut open a guy's chest." Blaine told him. "At least you get to practice medicine."
"Yeah,yeah, whatever." Kurt laughed. "Just go to your big fancy surgery."
"I will." Blaine replied, a smirk across his face. Kurt just shook his head as he went into the pit.
"Hey you," Kurt heard. "Bed four is all yours." the nurse said as she thrust the chart into his hands.
"Great." Kurt sighed as he walked over to the bed. Sitting on the bed was a teenage girl and her mother stood right next to her.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Hummel." Kurt said. "What seem to be the problem?"
"My-my daughter...she needs a pregnancy test." the mother said softly, almost as if someone heard it that ultimate shame would fall upon her. The girl just looked down at her feet as she kicked them back and forth.
"We can do that." Kurt said with a smile. "I'll go get the test and be right back." Kurt walked over to the supply closet and grabbed a blood test kit.
"Will it hurt?" the girl asked. Before Kurt got the chance to answer her mother jumped in.
"It'll be nothing compared to the pain you'll feel during labor if you're actually pregnant." the woman shot at her daughter.
"It'll just be a little prick and then you're all done." Kurt told her, before pushing the needle into her arm and letting the blood flow into the vial.
"When will we know the results?" the mother asked.
"It'll take the lab about an hour to process this." Kurt replied.
"An hour?" the woman exclaimed. "You can pee on a stick and know if five minutes."
"Well, these results aren't an emergency, so emergent cases take precedence." Kurt explained. The mother sighed.
"Well, it looks like we're going to miss you brother's lacrosse tournament." she said. "I have to go and call your father." The girl watched her mother walk away and Kurt could see the tension drip from her shoulders.
"I'm sorry about her." the girl said.
"That's okay. I didn't get a chance to ask you your name." Kurt said.
"It's Addison." she said softly. "I'm not a slut." she added.
"I didn't say you were." Kurt replied.
"The condom broke. It was my first time. We were trying to be safe." Addison said. "He-he's a really nice guy."
"So, if you are pregnant,what are you going to do?" Kurt asked her.
"I don't know." She sighed. "I'm sure my mother will want me to have an abortion."
"But, what do you want?" Kurt asked. "This will be your baby, not hers."
"I-I…" Addison stuttered, but didn't get a chance to reply because her mother came back.
"Are you still drawing her blood?" She asked impatiently. "Is this like your first day?"
"No, and I'm all finished." Kurt said as he pressed a cotton ball to Addison's skin and pressed a band-aid over it. "I'll go put these in the lab." He walked down the hallway and groaned when he saw Rachel at the lab too. With a frown he handed the blood into the technician.
"What's wrong?" She asked. "Sad because you can't spend all day in the OR with the bosses son. I guess Dr. Anderson can see through a little slut act because I'm in the OR and you're not."
"I already told you…" Kurt began.
"I know what you told me." Rachel butted in. "but I also know what I know." she added before walking away. Kurt growled before walking back to the pit. He stitched up a few cuts and set a broken arm before he was paged back to the lab to get the results. When he reached the lab, he pulled the manila folder out of the tray and opened it up. The read down the paper until he came to one word...pregnant.
"Shit." Kurt muttered. He walked back down to the pit to bed 4 where Addison and her mom were.
"Finally." her mother exclaimed. "What are the results?"
"Addison...is pregnant." Kurt said.
"Great, this is just great." her mother said. "I need someone to take care of this, right now."
"Mom!" Addison exclaimed.
"No, Addison." her mother yelled back. "You are getting this abortion. I'm not going to have you ruin your life before it begins all over some boy." Addison went quiet and Kurt felt bad for her. But, then she spoke up.
"No." Addison said.
"What was that?" her mother asked.
"I said no." Addison repeated. "For years, you have treated me like a child when I'm not a baby anymore. I'm not doing this for Ben. I'm doing this for me. This is my baby and I won't let you touch it. This is my decision and I'm choosing to have this baby. That is final." she said. "Now, you can either kick me out and I'll go live with Ben or you can be my mom and help me." Kurt was astonished and so was her mother. This quiet young girl had gotten the courage to stand up for herself and Kurt couldn't even do it himself.
"Fine," Addison's mother replied. "I'm not happy about this, but if your mind is settled, I guess I can't change it."
"I suppose you're free to go." Kurt said. "If you need names of obstetricians, you can ask one of our nurses." he said. Addison gathered her coat and followed her mother, but first stopped and gave Kurt a hug.
"Thank you." She said. "For giving me the confidence to stand up for myself and for my baby."
"You're very welcome, sweetheart." Kurt replied. Addison gave him one last smile before running off after her mother. Kurt thought about Addison all day. When he was getting ready to go home, Blaine came into the locker room.
"I thought I'd never see you again." he laughed. "I'll wait and then we can go home together."
"I actually got asked to scrub in on an aneurysm." Blaine said. "I'm going to stay and then sleep in an on-call room. You can head home."
"Blaine, I told you it's fine that you're staying with me." Kurt told him. "Don't sleep at the hospital."
"I know that. I'm doing this because it's a good opportunity and I want to stay." Blaine repeated. "I need to go and scrub in. I'll see you tomorrow." Kurt knew what Blaine had said, but it wasn't true. Blaine didn't like to make people mad and Rachel was clearly mad. Well you know what? Not having his boyfriend sleeping in the same bed as him made Kurt mad. he stomped out to the car and drove home. When he got home, he found Rachel sitting on the couch with a box of chinese food watching TV.
"Where's the bosses son?" She asked snarkily.
"Shut up." Kurt yelled. "You want the truth. Fine. Blaine and I have slept together."
"I knew it." She shot back.
"It's because we're boyfriends. Yeah, we care about each other. I didn't want some special advantage over everyone else." Kurt told her. "And the reason why Blaine is here is because his father kicked him out. He hadn't told him that he was gay. But, he did it for me. So, even if he and his father were talking, I don't think that it would be me getting any special treatment."
"Kurt, I-I'm sorry. I didn't know." Rachel stuttered out.
"You didn't ask." He shot back before going to him room. After getting ready for bed, he settled underneath the covers. Although one side of his bed was cold, there was warmth in his chest. Kurt was proud of himself for standing up for he and Blaine. There would be many other people who would try to tear them apart and now Kurt knew that he was strong enough to ever let that happen.
