Blaine had gone to LA to finish recording his new album, and Kurt had placed the twins in front of the TV when the woke up, telling them not to disturb him while he was making a very important call. He had finished the call and saw Elliot’s figure in the doorway.

“El,” Kurt said. “Come in.”

“Sorry to disturb you daddy,” He looked like he had been crying. “But is something wrong with Papa? The TV said he was in an accident.”

“What?” Kurt raced out to the living room, and Addison was crying. “Addi, what happened?”

The news reel came up again on the next channel and Kurt could hear the words ringing in his ears. “Pop singer Blaine Hummel-Anderson has been rushed to hospital after a fire started in the studio where he was recording. No news has been reported yet, as to what has happened, or how.”

“Holy crap,” Kurt said as he turned off the TV. That was when his phone began ringing and he saw it was Rachel. “You two, can you pack your bag for Aunt Rachel’s.”

“Okay,” The twins said walking straight to their bedrooms. Addison stopped for a moment, with red eyes and looked at Kurt. “Is Papa going to be okay?”

“He’ll be fine sweetie.” Kurt lied. Kurt didn’t know what was happening, or anything more than the kids did. It was what his dad always said when his mother was sick, but Kurt couldn’t tell them. He drove them to Rachel’s and she told the kids to watch a movie.

“Has anyone called you?” Rachel asked. “Andrea?”

“No one,” Kurt breathed in. “Blaine’s phone is going through to message bank, and so is Andrea’s.”

After Blaine got his record contract, he got his manager Andrea. Rachel heard the word ‘manager’ and begged Blaine to make a recommendation. Andrea liked her determination and took Rachel on board as well.

“That’s Andrea,” Kurt looked at this phone, before picking it up. “Please tell me he’s alive.”

“He’s alive,” Andrea said bleakly. “But is there any way you can come out here. As his next of kin, the hospital needs to talk to you.”

“Sure,” Kurt said. “I’ll be on the next possible flight.”

Kurt called the airline company and was able to get a flight, if he could make it to the airport in an hour. He quickly said goodbye to the twins and arrived at the hospital in a heap late that afternoon. He didn’t even think about luggage, that’s how pre-occupied he was. The nurse let Kurt quickly see him, after she was the emotional mess that Kurt was and when he got to the room, Blaine smiled.

“Oh my god,” Kurt ran over to him. “What happened to you?”

“Are the twins okay?” Blaine asked, and Kurt could tell he was heavily medicated.

“They saw a news thing on the TV,” Kurt breathed in. “They are pretty shaken up. What happened to you, Blaine?”

“I don’t know,” Blaine began drowsily. “I was recording and then we smelt fire and the next moment I was here. Now they’re saying something about surgery. Where are the twins?”

“With Rachel and Finn,” Kurt answered. “They’re fine Blaine. She’ll steer them away from TV. Surgery, why?”

“My eye is severely bruised,” Blaine said nervously. “Or that’s what they tell me.”

“I’m staying here till then.” Kurt answered.

“No,” Blaine said shutting his eyes. “Go back home. The twins need you.”

Blaine fell asleep holding Kurt’s hand before he went to Blaine’s apartment and called his dad and Carole (who had called him at least 10 times), Rachel, Cooper and lastly Blaine’s parents. The surgery happened in the next two days and eventually Blaine was back at the LA apartment on strict bed rest. Cooper and his wife came to visit once, and Mercedes came around, as did Santana (who provided a mountain of gay pirate jokes) and Brittany. Two weeks later, after the longest either of them had spent away from kids, they went back home. Blaine still had his eye patch, but he was in much better shape.

“Papa!” Elliot basically bowled Blaine over. “You’re like a pirate.”  

“Looks good.” Finn laughed as Blaine laughed at him.

“Papa,” Addison pulled him into a hug. “I missed you!”

“I missed you all too,” Blaine smiled. “I’ll be more careful next time.”

“You better be,” Kurt warned. “Hey, we can watch Pirates of the Caribbean tonight.”

“Yay.” The twins chimed in.

“Haha,” Blaine said sarcastically. “You are so funny.”
