"Mr Anderson" A voice called after Blaine just as he got to the doors leading out of the hospital. Blaine turned around hoping that maybe it was one of the doctors telling him Kurt wasn't really dead and that he was just in a heavy sleep but he knew the chances of that happening would be nonexistent. He slowly turned around sighing as he did.
"Yes" He replied as he saw a man in a police uniform standing in front of him.
"Is there any chance we can talk about..." The man looked at the small children he didn't want to say anything to upset them.
"About Kurt?" Blaine asked as he saw the police man nod in agreement.
"Don't worry I'll take the kids to the store to pick up the ingredients for dinner. Take as long as you need." Burt said as he signalled for Blaine to pass Alex over.
"It won't take too long." The policeman butted in.
"Okay five minutes. I'll meet you at the store." Blaine said as he pasted the sleeping boy over to Burt who still was holding hands with Liz.

Blaine was brought to an office just off the main entrance hall to the hospital.
"I'm sorry I haven't fully introduced myself I'm Jack and from the NYPD and I just want to ask you a few questions about your husband." The police man spoke as he pulled out a seat to sit opposite to Blaine.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything but can this be quick. I really just want to be with my children right now." Blaine blurted out. He hadn't meant to be so rude it just happened.
"I understand, do they know? Your children?"
"No not yet." Blaine muttered as he looked down at his wedding ring, twisting it with his fingers.
"Okay can I ask what kind of mood was your husband in when he left your home this morning?" Blaine thought for a second trying to relive the morning in his mind, trying not to cry.
"Umm he was a bit upset, he was late for work and he was just so rushed off his feet and I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to him. Why did this happen to him?" Blaine replied as he pulled out a tissue from his pocket.
"That's what we are trying to find out. Did they tell you how they found him or anything when you arrived here?" He asked as Blaine nodded no. The only thing he was told was that his husband had been beaten up.
"Well your husband, he was a hero. He saw a woman getting mugged and he went to stop it happening but the attackers over powered him and left him in the state they found him in..."
"And what about the woman?"
"She got knocked out just after he arrived and as Kurt tried to protect her that's when they attacked him. He most likely saved her life." The officer said as he saw Blaine try and work out what he just said in his brain. Blaine had never thought of Kurt in this way before, he knew he would do anything to help anybody but putting himself in harm's way to protect another he had never expected it. A little bit of pride came over Blaine as he thought of Kurt making that split second decision, he could have just walked on to work and forgot about it but he knew Kurt would have just regretted it. The fact that he gave up his life for another and no matter how much it broke him he knew that someone was safe because of him. But as much as he was proud of him a tiny part hated it, how could be do it, he had a young family to support he should have just called the police and left and Blaine hated this thought he knew he was being selfish.
"I...I..." Blaine stuttered as he tried to find a sentience.
"I know this must be hard for you but he was a hero and you should be proud of him."
"What happens now?" Blaine asked.
"Well we are getting the CCTV footage from the area and witness statements. The woman he helped in awake and she have given us her statement so we just need to find the people who did this." The officer explained. Blaine nodded along to what the policeman said before leaving.

He quickly texted Burt telling him he would meet him back at the apartment. Kurt & Blaine had lived in the heart of the city for years. Kurt had been writing columns for Vogue as a writer and was a stylist to the stars while Blaine who was taking a break from acting was now a playwright. Blaine had been working at home for a few years which turned out perfect since there life had now got a bit busier since they had the kids. Blaine had already found one success with his first play which was currently performed off Broadway and was now working on his second one.

He had completely forgotten what a mess the apartment was in before he left. He sighed as he closed the front door behind him. He took a quick glance before he went and sat down on the sofa. As he did he felt something hard stick into the side of him. He went to grab it thinking it was one of the kid's toys or something but when he pulled it out from the cushions at the side of him he found it was a black box. He looked at it unsure how it had got there. Had Kurt placed it there for Blaine to find? He slowly opened the lid and found a little note stuck inside.

'To Blaine... Liz if you're reading this please put it back so daddy can find it, that's a good girl" Blaine giggled to himself as he read that line.
'I'm sorry now where was I? Oh yes, my darling Blaine you are most likely laughing your head off at the first sentence in this note and that's fine I hope it does because I love it when you laugh the way you're no I'm sorry I'm heading away from my point again. Sorry about that anyways I had been meaning to give you this pocket watch for some weeks now but never really found the right time or place. So I decided to hide it and as much as I would love to see your face when you open this box I thought it might be more romantic if you just found it. I know the kids can be hard work and you on your own in this apartment all day working and looking after them can be stressful so I decided to hide it here in the sofa so it would be a nice surprise and so you could think about me. I had it engraved to with one word that you used to inspire me and which I help to inspire you back. I'm not going to tell you what it is in this note because well you need to look at the watch yourself. Blaine I love you so so much and I know I don't say it every day. I love every day we have had and every day we will experience and I know we have fights just like every other couple but I love you no less. This note it's longer then I wanted it to be and I've started to...well I love you with all my heart and if anything ever happened to me then I want you to know I love you so much. From your teenage dream Kurt x'

Blaine felt his hand being to shake as he finished the note. He thought back to the morning and how he hadn't had a chance to tell Kurt how much he loved him but this note it was like his way, like it was planned. Like a second chance, a chance for Kurt to say his good bye. Blaine walked up to the window in the living area and looked out over the New York City skyline.
"I love you to Kurt, to the moon and back." Blaine said as he looked back down to the box and pulled out the little pocket watch and turned it around so he could read the engraving. 'Courage'
"Of course" Blaine said to himself. It was like Kurt was helping him after his death.

The apartment door opened to the sound of chatter. Blaine had given Burt Kurt's key so he could let himself in.
"Daddy" Liz shouted as she ran towards Blaine. Her arms spread out so he could pick her up.
"Hey baby" Blaine said as he picked up the girl.
"You got Papa's thing then" Liz said as she eyed the box that had been placed on the table at the side of the room.
"Oh so you did find it." He said as he moved her hair from her face.
"Yeah but Papa told me to put it back so I did." Liz proudly announced.
"Well little one I would like to thank you." Blaine replied as he walked back over to Burt who headed to the kitchen. He slowly popped her down as she went off to help her Granddad with the cooking. Blaine sighed a little as he watched his little girl walk off thanking her under his breath. If she hadn't of moved the book that little bit more to the side Blaine may have never had found it.
