Two weeks had passed, and it was two weeks until they were going to LA. On a usual school day, Addison would wake Kurt up – but on this day, he was woken by his alarm. He knocked on the doors of all three bedrooms and minutes later, Jayden and Elliot both appeared, dressed for school.
“Where’s Addi?” Blaine asked, walking into the kitchen. “Do you want me to wake her?”
“I’ll do it,” Kurt banged on the bedroom door and heard a muffled response. “Addison, are you okay?”
He opened the door and the small girl was lying in her bed, complaining that she felt ‘yucky and scratchy’. Kurt checked her temperature, and noticed the itchy spots on her stomach. He exited the room and looked at Blaine.
“What’s happening?” Blaine asked, coming over to him.
“Remember when Jayden got the chicken pox and then I got it,” Kurt asked as Blaine nodded. “I think Addison has them. I am going to call a doctor, but she can’t go to school.”
“Elliot,” Blaine looked at the small boy. “He will catch them. He is the only one who isn’t immune.”
“We just have to hope for a miracle,” Kurt responded. “It’s not like we can send him away for a week.”
The doctor’s appointment was made and Blaine took Addison to confirm what both men knew she had. Almost week had gone by, and Addison was much better. She was even asking to go back to school. Kurt and Blaine both thought they had defeated the odds, until they got a phone call from the school nurse saying Elliot had them.
“Will I be able to go to LA?” The six year old asked weakly.
“Hopefully,” Blaine commented. “We’ll see Elliot.”
Six days later and Elliot was not feeling any better. He still had his fever, and the men were starting to deal with the fact they couldn’t take a sick child with them on a six hour flight.
“You go,” Blaine said that night. “I’ll stay back with El. Mercedes is your best friend and I’ve been to Disneyland before.”
“I feel so bad for Elliot,” Kurt responded. “Missing out on Disneyland for a six year old is scarring.”
“I’m sure he’ll have plenty of opportunities in his life to go,” Blaine laughed. “Disneyland isn’t going anywhere any time soon.”
The next morning, Kurt and Blaine woke up to screaming. Addison and Elliot were fighting over something and Kurt walked in to see the boy, who had some colour back in his skin.
“I see you’re feeling better,” Kurt looked at the boy. “Maybe you can go to LA tomorrow.”
“Please daddy,” Elliot asked. “I feel a lot better.”
“What’s happening?” Blaine asked as he walked into the room.
“I think we’re all going to LA now.” Kurt responded as Blaine smiled at him.
Kurt took the boy to the doctors that day, just to make sure he wasn’t contagious anymore and when the doctor gave him the all clear, Kurt was relieved. Their flight was the next morning, and when they got to the airport, Blaine took one look at Addison, who was basically bouncing off the walls.
“Please say I’m not next to her.” Blaine laughed, as Kurt checked the tickets.
“I am,” Kurt answered. “I’m with the twins and you’re with Jayden.”
“Thank god.” Jayden commented.
They got to LA after what Kurt concluded to be the longest six hour flight. There was only so much princess conversations one person can take in a day.
“Wow,” Elliot commented as they left the plane. “LA is cool.”
“Were still in the airport,” Blaine laughed. “Look, there’s Uncle Cooper.”
Elliot and Addison raced over to Cooper who wasn’t expecting to be bombarded with hugs. Blaine and Kurt decided to have a place in LA years ago because Blaine was there so often, and this meant they wouldn’t have to spend on accommodation. But it also meant that the twins would have to share a room while they were there.
