"How can I help you?"

"Can I get this prescription please" He handed over Kurt's prescription which stated what pills he needed as well as his hormone replacement pills.

"Oh get your girl friend knocked up tough break man" The man said turned and grabbed the bottles Blaine didn't bother correcting him he didn't want any fuss and it Ohio isn't the most accepting place to grow up being gay in.

"We'll meet you at the car we're going to find Jeff and Nick"

"That'll be $38 please" Blaine handed over the money he was being fidgety the other boys had yet to go to the car he grabbed his change and the bag and walked to his car.

"Hey Prep School" The only person he didn't want to hear walked up behind him he thought to ignore him but that would only make him have to run to his car near the back of the lot (David didn't want anyone to scratch his baby).

"What Karofsky" Blaine rounded on him but froze when he took in Karofsky's expression of undiluted rage. He grabbed Blaine by the collar and shouted in his face.

"Who did you buy those for I heard the guy say they were for someone pregnant and unless it was your sister I'm going to kick the crap out of you for cheating on Kurt" Blaine taken back by Karofsky's protectiveness of the kid he had bullied didn't know what to say which apparently was the wrong answer. Karofsky landed a punch to Blaine's stomach making him bend over winded and he planted his knee into Blaine's face it caught his eye but made him lose balance he held onto the bag and shouted for help his head hit the pavement and the world went spinning. Karofsky landed one more kick to Blaine's legs and ran. David and Wes hearing the shout ran out of the store and over to Blaine they didn't notice Flint and Jon chasing after Karofsky both seeing red at Blaine's barely conscious self. David grabbed the bag from Blaine in one hand and grabbed Blaine's shoulders with his other and he and Wes helped Blaine into the car.

"Park closer next time ok guys" Blaine muttered and they both gave him a weak chuckle. His head wasn't bleeding but he wasn't exactly awake so they decide against hospital but they all faced the wrath of Kurt if they didn't take him home immediately. At that moment Nick, Jeff, Andrew, Trent and Thad walked out of the shop over to the car and stopped smiling when they saw Blaine his face was already starting to bruise purple. The boys then all stared again when Flint and Jon came back Flint sporting a black eye and Jon's knuckles bleeding.

"How's Blaine doing" Jon started ignoring the wide eyes of the boys.

"I'm peachy could we go home now I don't want Kurt on my case" The boys snapped out of there shock and got in the car. A warning glare from David and Wes made the boys not ask questions but they talked trying to keep Blaine alert. When they got back to the Hudson-Hummel home Blaine started to slip out of consciousness again Wes and David rushed in carrying Blaine Kurt leapt up fussing over Blaine asking what happened.

"Karofsky he… beat me up… thought I was cheating on you…" Kurt stood there transfixed by Blaine ramblings at first he was mad at Karofsky then shocked that he was protecting him? Kurt sat on the coffee table opposite Blaine's chair. He had shouted at Finn to get a bag of frozen peas.

"Blaine baby did he hurt you anywhere else" Kurt looked apprehensively at him for an answer. Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes which were displaying a million emotions the strongest anger and love he knew which were aimed at him. Blaine nodded and pointed to his shirt and leg. Kurt rolled Blaine's pants up and gasped at the ugly purple mark covering a large part of Blaine's right shin.

"Blaine can you move your arms for me I need to see" Kurt gently pried Blaine's arm from where he had it locked around his torso Kurt gingerly moved Blaine's shirt up and gasped again when he saw an even bigger bruise covering half of Blaine's lower abdomen. Blaine looked down at the bruise and prodded it only to retract his hand and hiss. Kurt slapped Blaine's hand whilst saying.

"Don't touch it" Kurt tut' much to Blaine's amusement who started laughing Kurt looked at him and started laughing as well which made them both star hysterically laughing much to everyone's confusion. By the time Finn ran in with a bag of frozen peas he looked at both glee clubs laughing. Blaine having fallen of his chair and Kurt off the table were rolling around next to each other in hysterics unable to contain themselves. Until Blaine hissed as he disturbed a bruise and Kurt's face fell he sprang up snatched the peas from Finn putting them on his stomach whilst he tried to get his breath back.

"Are you ok babe" Kurt after hearing Blaine in pain immediately returned to mother hen mode much to everyone's surprise. Finn was stood grasping at the thin air were the peas had been. Blaine didn't look shocked at all with Kurt's speed when he was sick a few months ago Kurt drove to his house in record time after going to the supermarket and buying him soup all that day Blaine would ask for something and Kurt would get it in seconds.

"Kurt stop fussing not like this is the first time I've been beat up I've had worse" This meaning to console Kurt only made him tear up a little.

"Hey I got your medicine… wait do you guys have it" David stepped forwards with the bag of prescriptions. Kurt smiled leaving Blaine's side to take some sickness tablets. Blaine decided to get back on the chair before Kurt could fuss more. When Kurt got back in the room the groups had started talking about the baby and plans. Nick and Jeff stepped towards Kurt and Blaine with grins on their face.

"Well since we are the most awesome at buying toys we thought we would buy the first baby gifts for the babies so… Ta da" The boys both stood there as Jeff spoke and moved when Nick and he drew two teddies from behind their backs one a white rabbit and the other a yellow bird which reminded Kurt of Pavarotti.

"Oh you two are too sweet sometimes" Kurt leapt up and hugged the two boys senseless when he sat down both boys looked smug at the reception of their gifts.

"Thanks guy this really is sweet" Blaine not wanting to bother his bruise patted both boys on the back and took the teddies giving the bird to Kurt who beamed. The rest of the day went smoothly until the boys brought up a pressing matter.

"What about school?" Finn asked innocently but Kurt and Blaine immediately stiffened at this and looked at each other they had just started a new year and things couldn't get more tricky with Blaine not wanting to leave Kurt's side until the babies were born. Kurt didn't want Blaine to leave Dalton and was even tempted to move back but he didn't think he could leave his friends behind again.

"I don't think I have a choice but the less people know about this the safer I will be. If people find out I'm pregnant I'm going to get a whole new angle of slurs thrown at me" Kurt said to the worried faces of both glee clubs whilst Blaine tightened his grip on Kurt's waist.

"I'll transfer to McKinley no arguments about it I'll go crazy if I don't know what you're doing." Blaine stated to very shocked New Directions and very proud Warblers.

"But-"Kurt interjected only to get cut off by Blaine.

"No buts ok I'll get my dad to sort it ok we'll be together and we'll be fine" Blaine smiled and kisses Kurt. They kept talking about baby plans and room decorations for hours until Burt walked in and asked the Glee clubs to leave. They all hugged Kurt and the Warblers said bye to Kurt. Blaine would have to stay at his school and would transfer on Wednesday. Kurt and Blaine went into their room and fell asleep in each other's arms. Kurt's dreams were full of fear and abuse mainly at the hands of Karofsky and his co- conspirators'.

He was running and running never slowing.

He had to run from what he didn't know he just knew to run.

Then…

SMACK

"Hey Hummel how you doing" Karofsky jeered at him.

"Why so scared fairy… oh you have a little fairy don't you" Karofsky's fist pulled back before it hits him he wakes up.

Breathing heavily Kurt's gasping for breath and holding his stomach protectively Blaine wakes moments later when Kurt broke down into heavy sobs.

"Hey it's ok everything's ok" Blaine planted sweet kisses on Kurt's jaw and finally on the side of his lips. Kurt calms at the soothing touch and falls asleep in moments. Blaine stays awake for the rest of the night repeating the process and calming Kurt who wakes 4 times that night. Early in the morning Blaine finally drifts off holding Kurt protectively to him neither wake after that.
