"Kurt...?" Santana asked curiously.
But her words went unheard, "Blaine?" Kurt asked in a tentative whisper, "Baby, can you hear me?"
Dr. Andrews sighed sadly, "Kurt. You just went through something extremely difficult. It's common to imagine-"
Beep... Beep...
Dr. Andrews' eyes widened, and he quickly moved around to the machine hooked up onto Blaine's bed. And sure enough...
Beep...Beep...
"The heart is weak, but it's still there-"
Dr. Andrews wasn't able to finish because he was interrupted by a hacking cough...
Everyone turned to the bed to see Blaine trying to sit up and take a breath, but it seemed like his lungs weren't cooperating.
There was a collection of gasps and sighs of relief, but mostly, tears of joy.
"B-Blaine..." Kurt whispered, eyes welling up with tears.
"Kurt! Help me sit him up!" Dr. Andrews said as he pushed the 'Call Nurse' button on the bed rails.
Dr. Andrews plead puled him out of his trance and Kurt, gently, helped Blaine into a somewhat sitting position.
Blaine's eyes were still screwed shut as coughs continued to rack through his body, he didn't notice the nurse rush in with an IV bag, and a syringe.
"Wait! What are you doing!" Kurt screamed in panic, when the nurse injected him with the needle.
"Something to calm him down." The nurse said, and as soon as the words left her mouth, Blaine slumped against Kurt, breathing heavily.
"K-Kurt...?" He mumbled.
Kurt took a deep breath and gently placed two fingers under his chin so that Blaine could look him in the eyes. But when Kurt saw those eyes, those beautiful, expressive, loving honey eyes looking at him, he lost it.
Kurt pulled him into a tight hug, and was sobbing into the crook of Blaine's shoulder, "I t-thought I... I thought I l-lost you... I was so sc-scared..."
Blaine slid both his arms around Kurt's slim body, no matter how much it hurt. Tears flew down his face and he chuckled wetly, his voice was raspy and horse, from lack of use. "You should k-know that you're not getting rid of me that easily."
Kurt smiled, and pulled away only to pull their lips together in a soft, little kiss.
Burt and Carole smiled softly at them and huddled closer. Everyone had tears on their faces, but tears of joy this time.
"Baby..." Blaine and Kurt looked up to see Julie, Cooper, and Conner walking over. Kurt turned to Blaine and shared a small smile with him, before standing up, planting a soft kiss on his forehead and walking over to his dad.
Julie embraced her son tightly, kissing his the top of his head, "You're okay, baby." She kept repeating, more like to assure herself.
Conner and Cooper joined in on the group hug, before pulling back to wipe the tears in their eyes.
"Wait," Blaine said, "Burt?" Blaine said slowly, pulling away from his mom.
Burt smiled and walked over to him, "I'm fine kiddo. Thanks to you."
"But, how did-" But he was interrupted by a few more terrible coughs. Tears were welling in the corner of his eyes.
"Okay, that's enough for today." Dr. Andrews said, helping Blaine lay back down, "You overdid yourself, and the talking isn't helping. You can finish tomorrow."
Blaine sighed, and was about to say something in protest before another cough racked through his body.
Dr. Andrews raised an eyebrow smugly at him, a look that clearly read I told you so, before turning to everyone in the room, "Okay everyone. I'm sorry but Blaine does need his rest. You can come back tomorrow when he's feeling better."
"Kurt..." Blaine mumbled, and made small little grabby hand gestures towards him.
Kurt smiled and walked over to sit on the side of the bed, "I'll be back tomorrow baby. I promise." Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and squeezed it tightly, and made a move to let go, but Blaine didn't. Kurt smiled fondly.
"Actually Kurt," Dr. Andrews said, "I have to have a word with Mrs. and Mr. Anderson for a moment, mind staying here for a while? I don't want him alone just yet." He asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Yes..." Blaine answered tiredly for him, and pulled him closer.
Dr. Andrews nodded and left the room, followed by the Julie, who before leaving placed a kiss on both Kurt and Blaine's forehead, before joining her husband, son, and the doctor.
Soon, they were alone.
Blaine made a movement and Kurt looked down at him, but smiled when he saw that he moved over a bit, and started patting the bed. Kurt looked uncertain for a moment, but when Blaine squeezed his hand once more, he smiled and laid down next to him.
Blaine spent no time cuddling up into Kurt's chest, and just breathing in his scent, "I slept for God knows how long, and I'm still tired." He sighed sleepily.
Kurt chuckled quietly, and brought the hand that was holding Blaine's up to his lips and placed a soft kiss on his knuckles, "Blaine?"
"Hmm?" He mumbled sleepily.
"Please don't ever do this again. I was so scared. I love you too much to lose you." Kurt said quietly, silent tears running down his face.
Blaine pulled back a bit, and kissed the tears away, "A very beautiful, caring, strong person told me once that I wasn't going to lose him. I suppose I should repeat the advice."
Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes, and saw all that emotion, all that love and adoration. He smiled and kissed his lips softly, "Do you believe in God?" He asked, barely above a whisper.
Blaine looked kind of confused for moment by the question, but nodded nonetheless.
Kurt looked down at their intertwined hands and asked, very softly, "Why?" He looked back up to him, "After all the hell you went through, and all the hell we probably will endure just by being who we are, why?"
Blaine smiled and kissed Kurt softly once more, "Because no matter all the pain, all the hurt, he gave me something worth all the good in the world and more. Something that, no matter how bad things got, it always makes all the ache and pain go away."
"And what's that?" He asked softly.
He smiled, "He gave me another day with you."
