Blaine was bought back from his tests and was put back on all the machines and wires that he needed to be on. Carole stayed with him and held his hand or stroked his hair; she remembered when Kurt was like this and how Blaine was. She didn’t know that Kurt was awake but she had an idea of what he’d be like. Things were going to be very different now, especially if Blaine’s spine was as bad as they thought it was. He might end up in a wheelchair forever and then Kurt would have to take care of him that would be especially hard for an eighteen year old boy. Of course Carole and Burt would offer as much support as they could but that might mean them both coming back to Lima, which she knew they would both hate. The doctors were getting the results from the tests when a woman came bursting through the doors. She had dark hair and was Asian. Mrs. Anderson.
“Oh my baby!” The woman cried as she ran to Blaine’s side. “What the hell happened?”
“Car accident with Kurt, some guy on drugs drove into their taxi. Blaine might have a damaged spine and might never walk again...”
The doctor walked into the room with a folder in his hands and some scans in amongst all the stuff. “The tests are back on Blaine’s spine and it seems that there’s a fracture in it. It means that he’ll be in a wheelchair for a while and have to wear a brace; it also means that he’ll have to learn to walk again.” The doctor said, hearing both women breathe a sigh of relief.
“So he’ll be okay?”
“That’s not all that’s wrong with him. There’s some head damage too so we’ll have to keep an eye on that. He’ll be put onto some strong medication and be kept under for a little while so the swelling can go down. Once he wakes up, he’ll be here for a little while and once he’s released he’ll have to come back for physiotherapy. But we’re pretty sure with the right treatment he’ll make a full recovery.”
“Oh thank you doctor!” Mrs. Anderson cried and flung herself at him, crying into his shoulder. He looked really awkward and patted her back.
“I’ll go see how Kurt’s doing and let my husband know how Blaine is.” Carole got up and went to leave the room; her arm was grabbed by the doorway. She turned and saw Blaine’s mother looking at her.
“Thank you.” She smiled weakly before hugging Carole too.
When Carole broke away from Mrs. Anderson, she went to Kurt’s room and she was surprised to see Kurt awake.
“Hey honey, how’re you feeling?” Carole smiled at her stepson.
“Is Blaine okay?” Kurt asked instantly after Carole spoke.
“Yes he will be. The doctor came back with his test results and he’ll be okay eventually. He said that Blaine’ll make a full recovery over time; he’ll be in a wheelchair for a while and eventually his spine will heal with help of physiotherapy. His mother is here and is with him now to take care of him so we can both focus on you.” Carole sat on the other side of Kurt.
“I want to see him.” Kurt demanded.
