I am sorry guys. This is mostly about Sebastian, Blaine and Mel. This chapter took on a life of it's own. Once I started writing I couldn't stop. Kurt is in the next chapter. PROMISE. I already have it part written in my head and Kurt's role is going to be goooood. It's already part written in my head.

Chapter 8

Blaine arrive home. He couldn't see Sebastian anywhere. He looked in his bedroom and the lounge area, then the kitchen. As a last resort he looked in Mel's room. Sebastian was leaning up against the wall beside her bed, holding her hand with his eyes closed. Blaine gently walked over and touched Sebastian's shoulder lightly. Sebastian took a glance at Blaine and looked at where his hand was. He gently disconnected his hand from Mel's before following Blaine into the lounge

"Was Kurt OK" Sebastian asked

"Yeah he appeared fine. What happened with Mel?" Blaine asked noting the unusual behaviour
"Think she had a nightmare, she was crying and lightly thrashing her head around...I went in to check on her. I tried to wake her up gently...then she suddenly stopped, sat up in bed, grabbed my hand before immediately falling back asleep again. I stayed in her room to make sure she was OK, then you appeared" Sebastian finished

"Did it look like convulsions?" Blaine asked

"I've never seen convulsions" Sebastian admitted "with the fact she was crying, I figured it was a nightmare. Nothing about her changed like her breathing"
"OK I am just going to check on her..." Blaine said worriedly

Sebastian headed to the kitchen to get Blaine and himself a cold drink. He saw Blaine come out of Mel's room

"She seems fine...I wish I had been here" Blaine said "Not because you can't handle it, it's just...look I have a hunch about this day dreaming thing...I am just worried"

"Blaine, I don't know if they were convulsions, like I said when I was in there, it lasted for less than a minute."
"I know. Maybe you are right. Maybe it was a bad dream...but when she's had one of those in the past, she cries loudly and she will stay awake a cling to you. Can I ask a favour? If it happens again and I am not around, can you try and film it or time it?"
"I'll do my best Blaine. I wish you would tell me what you think it is"
"I will Bas if this continues, I think on Friday I am going to book her in for a doctors appointment, you know see how the week goes..."
"What if something happens to her when you're busy Blaine, like tonight. How do I know what to look out for? You know I like to know everything in advance so there are no surprises..."
"OK if you see her have one again, record it if you can, remember as many details as you can like sounds, eye movements, body movements, changes in colour."
"That narrows it down Blaine." Sebastian answered in a flustered voice

"It doesn't feel right, telling you before Kurt and if I tell Kurt he'll really worry"
"I thought we were doing so well, then you put a wall up Blaine."
"Kurt's her other father Bas, he has a right to know..."
"...and I'm just the boyfriend who..."

At that moment they heard a loud cry coming from Mel's room. Neither hesitated before rushing in, Sebastian had his phone at the ready to record it as per Blaine's request. They entered the room and saw Mel on the bed, thrashing around. Sebastian stood their with his camera on, but Blaine immediately ran up to her, removed her pillow and her duvet as quickly and gently as he could. She was thankfully wearing a cotton top, but her arms were thrashing, she was crying, he breathing coming out in gasps.

"Bas call 911 please...tell them what's happening"

Blaine tossed his phone to Sebastian. Sebastian appeared to come out of his trance and immediately called 911. As he was explaining what was happening to the operator, Mel suddenly stilled. Sebastian asked them to wait a second. Blaine gently rolled her onto her side, so her face was facing his. He sighed with relief when he heard her breathing. He gestured to Sebastian to come over, and took the phone off him telling him to watch her breathing. He then moved away. Sebastian immediately took his place, staying by her bed

"Yes she's my daughter. She was having convulsions, yes it's stopped. Her breathing has returned to normal, its like she's asleep again...OK I would like that...please. It's the second one I think she's had...alright. Thank you" Blaine said and hung up

"An ambulance is on it's way. I don't want to take any chances..."
"I recorded it, you know for the doctor to look at, it's on my phone. Are you going to call Kurt?"
"Kurt will have his phone off. If anything else happens I will call him..."
Blaine then heard groaning from the bed and quickly walked over. Sebastian made to move away but Blaine held his hand, keeping him in place while the other reached for Mel

"Hey baby girl, you OK?" Blaine asked quietly

Mel looked at him, confused

"I'm really tired Dad, my legs hurt and I feel really hot" She said quietly

"Would you like me to massage them for you? Bas can you get me a wash cloth please?" Blaine asked

Mel shook her head and Sebastian left briefly to get the flannel

"I wanna sleep..." Mel said tiredly

"Soon honey. Can you sit up for me?" Blaine asked

Mel did and Blaine moved to sit beside her

"Your not very well. I needed to call an ambulance. They should be here soon. You may have to go to hospital, but don't worry, I will be coming with you if you do, OK?"
"Why Daddy? 'casue my legs hurt?" Mel asked confused

"That's part of it" Blaine answered taking the cloth from Mel

"You were shaking and crying. I need to make sure you are OK so you may have to go to hospital for some tests" Blaine said brushing a hand through his hair

"Will I die?!" Mel asked scared

"No baby. You will not. You don't just go to hospital to die. You go for other things. You were born in a hospital. You go to get better sweety" Blaine reassured her

"Stay Daddy..."
"Always sweety" Blaine said

A few minutes later the doorbell went. Sebastian got up to answer it. Medics entered and sat beside Mel. Blaine told them what happened, while the other spoke to Mel. They did all the ops.

"Well everything seems normal now, however as this is her first ever seizure and her age, I would recommend taking her to hospital. Would you like us to take you or would you like to drive? We will call ahead either way so they will be expecting you. Her vitals are all good. It would take the same amount of time but she may be more comfortable?"
"Can you take her, just in case anything happens on the way." Blaine asked

"Of course. If you want to carry her, please do. We'll get her connected to a monitor if required in the vehicle. Sir one of you will be able to come, the other will have to follow"
"Go Blaine. I drive and meet you there" Sebastian said

"Will you take her to the ambulance while I grab a few thing for her...if that's OK?" Blaine asked looking at the ambulance men

"Sure," They answered but when they went to take her she clung onto Blaine.

"Baby I need to get some things for you. How about Bas takes you?" Blaine suggested

"He won't leave me?" Mel asked quietly

"No I won't princess" Bas said scooping her up into his arms before leaving

Blaine collected her favourite teddy, a change of clothes, her 'go bag' which she took on long journeys which had many things in to occupy her. He grabbed himself a spare t-shirt and underwear. He dialed Kurt's number on his phone, no one picked up. Blaine left a message on his answering phone before going down to the ambulance.

"I will see you there." Sebastian said

They said goodbye and Mel and Blaine went to the hospital. Sebastian followed behind in the car.

Once at the hospital Mel was taken to the neuro unit. They did an emergency EEG. They did further tests. Mel was patient, but she was growing tired. Blaine and Sebastian patently waited though both were on edge, there earlier argument momentarily forgotten about as they pulled together for Mel. During this time, Blaine called Kurt several times and left messages every time. Blaine was concerned, this was unlike Kurt who should have responded by now.

"Mr Anderson?" The doctor said as he came in

Blaine stood and nodded his head

"My name's Dr. Tracy. I'm a neurologist here. We have looked at your daughters scans and found a some unusual electrical activity. This was during period when she appeared to be starring into space which may not feel like it but was good moment for us to capture. It appears Mel does have epilepsy, but so far we have only witnessed it affecting part of the brain, but the seizure you describe and was recorded appeared to be generalised so all over the brain. Epilepsy is spikes of electrical disturbances in the brain, which causes the body to act involuntary. As a precaution I would like you to take this home It's diazipan in case she has another seizure that lasts more than 5 minutes and call an ambulance as a precaution. It's to be inserted through her rectrum. I know it nots the nicest thing, but as a temporary measure until we can out what's happening further. We are thinking about medication but I want to do more assessments as medication can have side effects. Would we be able to do an over night assessment on Thursday this week to see if we can get this sorted before she goes back to school?. We should have more of an idea about what kind of epilepsy she has, whether it's a childhood form, medication we can try, whether seizures happen during the day or night. Normally we would supply madazalan however this cam affect her breathing which I would rather not worry about at the moment. This could be used in the foreseeable future though."

"So what's to be done?" Blaine asked
"Well seizures have various causes some can be feelings, hormonal, environmental, lighting, food, smells, noise the list is quite extensive. IF she has another seizure and once it over, would you be able to record what she was doing on the lead up? This would give us a better idea as to triggers and what to avoid. For now though I would say avoid stress and over tiredness, as these are common causes of the majority of seizures."
"Thank you doctor. Can we go now?" Blaine asked
"Yes. Oh a list of precautions I am sure you are aware of but for legal reasons I must say them. Make sure she is constantly supervised during waking hours including meal times, doors are not locked, she doesn't go swimming alone or be left alone around water like having a bath, I would advise as a temporary measure to keep her bedroom door open at night, though if this a problems and you can't hear anything from her room, buy a baby monitor."
"Thank you. Will we see you on Thursday?" Blaine asked

"Sadly no. Mel is a delightful child though. She will be seen by Dr. Ford. The placement is a bit like home, so she would do every day things and you would stay with her. We would of course provide meals. She would be attached to a mobile EEG machine and it would be over night. So bring a change of clothes, toys etc that Mel feels she needs"
"OK thank you doctor" Blaine said and gathered up Mel's things.

Sebastian had stayed with Blaine the entire time. He and Blaine were exhausted. Sebastian drove them home. Blaine then called Kurt again. Once again it went to voice mail.

"Bas can we stop by Kurt's on the way home? His not picked up his phone. It's very unlike him" Blaine asked

"Are you sure that's wise killer, you are exhausted from no sleep?. Why not go home and we can come back later? Maybe Kurt isn't even awake yet. It is Sunday after all" Sebastian suggested
"Bas, I have been up all night. Kurt deserves to know what happened to his daughter" Blaine answers a little more forcefuly
"I know but if you go, you'll get stressed. Mel's at no risk. Maybe he'll call once he checks the voice messages?"
"Your right. I am just...unsettled." Blaine said

"We'll go home, sleep..."
"I may set a bed up in Mel's room" Blaine finished quietly
"Maybe you and Mel can share a bed, I will take the spare" Sebastian suggested "You'll both be more comfortable?"
"You don't mind?" Blaine asked looking slightly hopeful

"Of course not. Then when you wake up, we can go see Kurt" Sebastian said

"OK. It's a plan. We could all use a sleep" Blaine said

They arrived home, Blaine and Mel crashed in his bedroom, while Sebastian slept in Mel's room on the spare bed. It had been a tiring day for everyone. As Sebastian fell asleep he briefly remembered the argument but as Blaine hadn't brought it up Sebastian followed his leave. He would find a way to prove once and for all that he was good enough to be a parent to Mel. He loved Mel. He'd never felt that way towards another child. Normally they annoyed him but now he waned nothing more than to be Mel's parent and he was sure Blaine wanted the same thing. As Sebastian slowly drifted off to sleep he had a vision of Mel, Blaine and himself at the zoo. He let this image lull him into a restful sleep.

A/N So what did you think? Kurt didn't answer the phone? How strange! What will happen when Kurt checks his messages? Will Kurt prove he still wants to be a father? Will Sebastian prove he can be a parent to both Blaine and Kurt? In the next few chapters Kurt will slowly start to see how his changed and realise that maybe something is wrong.
