The final chapter. I've had so much fun writing this and I think I may now be obsessed with Caleb. I'd really love to keep writing drabbles around this idea now so if you have any prompts just let me know.


"Honey?"

Kurt knocked on the door of the hospital room lightly as he watched Blaine stir under the sheets, just wanting his husband to be out already- back in their own bed, in their own house. Caleb was bouncing around excitedly next to Kurt as they walked in, obviously keen just to see his dad. Kurt smiled a hello at Blaine before kneeling next to his son.

"Remember what we said? Daddy's hurt so we have to be nice and gently so we don't hurt him more"

Caleb nodded with a serious look on his face that Kurt had to melt before he was running over to the side of his bed, his curls bouncing behind.

"Gently" he pushed again, watching as Blaine reached down to pull his son up on the bed and Kurt let out an exasperated sigh, shaking his head.

"Blaine. You're meant to be resting" he scolded, rolling his eyes as Caleb laughed but unable to help his smile at Blaine's twinkle in the eye.

"They're letting me come home tomorrow" Blaine said as he looked over at his husband, reaching out a hand for him to take, his fingers lightly brushing over the others knuckles in a comforting fashion.

"Good. Hospitals are stupid" he commented lamely, squeezing Blaine's hand.

Neither of the boys had taken any notice of Caleb before he was tugging on Blaine's arm and they both frowned simultaneously when it became apparent that he wasn't as carefree as he was just moments ago.

"Caleb?" Blaine prompted, ruffling his curls up. "What's up buddy?"

"You were sleeping for a long time…Daddy K was sad" he said, his wide eyes clouding over with tears.

Kurt's heart dropped at that and he was glad Blaine had the sense of mind to tug Caleb into his chest, knowing that it would be the only one to calm him down a bit. It was their go to response as a way of comforting and very rarely did it not work.

Blaine spoke soothingly as hands carded again through his hair. "I know. I know but he's not sad anymore is he?" he comforted as they both looked over at Kurt who now had a smile plastered on his face.

"I'm not sad sweetheart" he agreed, moving his chair closer to the bed so he could squeeze his son's shoulder gently. "Your dad just scared me for a while there"

The family of three stayed in that position for a while, Caleb falling asleep on Blaine's shoulder who then quickly fell asleep afterwards, still exhausted from his ordeal. Kurt honestly wanted to cry with how perfect everything felt. He couldn't imagine what would have happened if Blaine hadn't made it, the thought itself just tearing at his insides. But thankfully that wasn't the case and he was going to be perfectly fine, no permanent damage. Sure he'd have to take it easy for a few weeks but that was more than they could've hoped for.


"Daddy. Daddy"

Kurt blinked his eyes open to Caleb tugging on his arm, not even realizing he'd fallen asleep. "Daddy" he repeated, his voice choking with tears.

"Caleb. Whats..what's wrong?" he asked, looking him directly in the eyes.

"H-He sleeping and why won't he wake up?" Caleb said quickly and Kurt frowned, trying to decipher the toddlers muddled words before immediately spinning his head around when he motioned to Blaine.

Kurt panicked for a moment as he stood up and reached down on the bed, his hands going out to shake Blaine somewhat gently. "Blaine. Blaine" he hissed.

"Ummf..Wha?"

The breath he was holding in released in a drastic fashion before he was hitting Blaine on the arm. "Oh god. I thought you were.."

Kurt shook his head before propping Caleb up on the bed, laying down and tugging the boy between the two of them.

"God"

Blaine looked with concern over at the other two, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

In the meantime Kurt had taken to running his fingers up Caleb's forearm.

"It's okay. It's okay. It's not like before. He's fine. See" he motioned to the other side where Blaine was smiling in a confused fashion.

If it wasn't for having to be strong for their son Blaine wasn't sure he would have been able to hold it together at the comment. He knew that they'd have to have had a hard time over the last few days but it wasn't until he heard it did it really sync in.

Blaine didn't realize he was crying until a small finger was wiping it's way under his cheek.

"Don't cry daddy. Don't be sad"

Blaine smiled as he gazed back into the toddlers hazel eyes, one hand linking with Kurt's over the top of Caleb as they all squished tightly in together.


It wasn't until Caleb was five did they have to explain what really happened that day.

"Guys I'm home" Blaine's voice echoed throughout the house, his footsteps getting louder before he finally reached the kitchen where Kurt and Caleb were obviously trying to cook something.

"Caleb" Blaine shouted as his husband pulled him back from the toaster where he was currently holding a fork near the appliance.

Kurt could feel a panic attack coming on and it wasn't until Blaine's hand was rubbing circles into this back did he manage to calm himself down.

Caleb was clinging on to Kurt's side at the outburst from his dad, looking thoroughly ashamed at himself, knowing that whatever he did was wrong. Blaine hated those wide, terrified eyes but they'd promised years ago when they adopted the boy that they'd never let him come to any harm.

Once he was sure Kurt was calm he kneeled down in front of the boy. "Buddy. I'm sorry. But you remember we've told you about that before?"

The five year old peeked out from the side of Kurt, nodding sadly.

"I'm sorry" he mumbled.

Kurt exchanged a sad glance at Blaine and they both tugged Caleb to the couch, one parent on each side.

"You remember when your dad had his accident? And he was in the hospital?" Kurt asked, when he was sure the other was focused.

"That was electricity. We taught you about that remember? It's so dangerous sweetheart and we can't be playing with it"

Caleb's bottom lip trembled as his parents spoke, and although he was young, he could still remember that period vividly.

"I'm sorry. I won't..I w-won't do it again"

Kurt smiled lightly. "We know you won't. It's okay" he soothed, tugging him to his chest while Blaine rubbed circles into his back.

"I love you"

Caleb's voice broke with emotion and Kurt and Blaine just smiled at each other.

"We love you too"
