"What do you mean she's had an accident? She's ok though right? The baby's ok right?" I asked my husband.

"I don't know! She's at the hospital! I'm there too but they don't know anything! "

I felt my knees buckle a little and then Santana's hand on my waist steading me as she took the phone from me with her other hand.

"Kurt? It's Santana, what happened?....Ok....ok, breathe Kurt....which hospital? Alright Blaine and I will be there as soon as we can."

Santana grabbed us the nearest cab and promised the driver a $100 tip if he got us to the hospital as quickly as possible. As soon as it got to the hospital I jumped out and ran to find Kurt as soon as I saw him he collapsed into my arms.

"Have you heard anything?" I asked.

"Not yet, they're still working on her, oh god Blaine they've been in there for so long."

"It'll be ok, the baby will be ok." I kept repeating over and over again trying to get rid of the horrible feeling I had in my stomach.

"You don't know that!"

"I know but I have to believe the baby is ok or I'm going to lose my mind."

"Anything?" Santana asked walking up to us.

"Not yet." I told her.

"Right." She said before marching off.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, my phone was on silent." I told Kurt.

"I know bab....honey...I know you got here as soon as you could."

"Do you want to sit down?" I asked.

"No, I want you to keep holding me."

"Ok."

I looked up upon hearing Santana's heels coming towards us and saw her being followed by a very spooked nurse.

"Mr and Mr Hummel, I have an update for you. It seems that your surrogate Miss Young was in some sort of accident, she says she fell down the stairs...anyway Dr. Forrest should be out soon to talk to you. "

"Tell him he'd better be out here in the next ten minutes or I'm coming to get him." Santana told the nurse.

"Santana please don't threaten the hospital staff." Kurt said.

Dr. Forrest was obviously not bothered by Santana's threats as he didn't come out for another half an hour.

"Kurt and Blaine, I wish I could say good to see you but under the circumstances...."

We nodded.

"Let's have a seat shall we?"

"Just tell us please....just tell us." Kurt begged.

"It seems Maria fell down the stairs at her apartment building, we've checked her over thoroughly and despite having a few minor injuries she's ok."

"And the baby?" I asked.

"I'm so sorry..." he started.

"No." Kurt cried covering his mouth.

"Why....why are you sorry?" I asked my brain not wanting to process the information.

"The baby....he didn't make it."

"Oh god...I'm going to be sick."

Dr. Forrest lead me to a chair and brought a garbage can over in case I did throw up.

"Can I see her?" Kurt asked softly.

"Of course." Dr. Forrest replied before turning to me once more. "Just put your head between your knees the nausea should pass."

Santana sat beside me and put her hand on my back rubbing it is small circles.

"I'm so sorry Blaine."

"We just went clothes shopping today we bought all these cute little outfits, what are going to do with them now?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll deal with them."

"There's a onesie that says 'My daddies love me' don't get rid of that ok?"

"Ok."

"I should go check on Kurt and Maria."

"I'll be here if you need me."

"It's ok Tana, you can go home."

"I'll be here if you need me." She repeated more firmly.

I knocked as I entered Maria's room even though the door was open.

"Hi." I said softly before giving her a kiss on her head.

"I'm sorry please don't hate me."

"I don't hate you Maria."

"If it's any consolation you'll be able to try again, Maria will need to physically heal and all three of you will need to emotionally heal first but you can try again." Dr. Forrest told us.

Kurt's phone beeped with a text.

"It's dad we were supposed to Skype him and Carole....I can't...." Kurt started.

"It's ok, I'll call him." I told him.

I dug my phone out of my pocket and headed outside.

"Hi dad, it's Blaine." I said when Burt answered the phone.

"Hey kid, I thought we were supposed to Skype? We want to see the new picture of the grandkid."

"That's why I'm calling...we....we lost him, dad....we lost the baby."

"Oh Blaine, I'm so sorry. What happened?"

"Our surrogate she says she fell down the stairs..."

"You don't believe her?"

"She looks like she was beaten."

"Shit. Have you talked to her about it?"

"Not yet...I don't know how to."

"Just ask her but don't be confrontational."

"Yeah ok."

"Do you need us to come to New York?"

"I....don't know dad, maybe...I don't know how to handle this."

"Me neither kid, but we'll help in any way we can."

"I should go."

"Ok, tell Kurt I love him."

"I will."

"Love you kid."

"I love you too dad."

"Call anytime you need too, I don't care what time it is."

"Ok."

I don't remember hanging up or walking back into the hospital, I don't remember insisting Santana go home, and I don't remember going back to Maria's room but I did all of those things. I do remember noticing that the doctor and nurses had left the room by the time I got back.

"Maria, can I ask you something?"

She nodded.

"Did...did you really fall down the stairs? It's just....I know what someone looks like after they've been attacked....and...." I trailed off.

I looked up at Kurt whose eyes were wide in surprise.

"You can tell us Maria." He said gently.

"I...." She started but then she stopped talking and bit her lip like she was making a decision.

"If someone did this to you, if someone did this to our baby you have to tell us Maria." I urged.

"He's never hurt me this badly before." She said softly.

"Who Maria?" Kurt asked.

"My....my boyfriend....oh god you're going to hate me."

"We won't." I promised.

"He was the one who suggested I become a surrogate, he thought I could get pregnant and then refuse to give the couple the baby unless they gave me a shit load of money....but I couldn't do that to you guys so I went home today and told him that. And he got mad at me and..."

"Maria...did he....was...he trying to hurt the baby?" Kurt asked.

Maria sobbed and nodded.

I'm going to kill him, I'm going to find this guy and murder him. Kurt reached over and placed his hand on my arm.

"Maria we need you to tell the police." Kurt told her.

"I can't." She said quietly

"Please Maria, we'll protect you, you can move in with us but you need to tell them." Kurt said.

I nodded, unable to speak.

"I...I want to but I'm just so scared."

"You're safe here and you'll be safe with us." Kurt promised.

"Can...can you find a female cop and send her in? Quickly? Before I chicken out?"

"Of course. Blaine will go and I'll stay here with you."

I found the cop and Kurt and I held Maria's hands as she told the cop everything, when she was done she was so exhausted that she insisted Kurt and I go home so she could get some sleep, the hospital posted a security guard outside her door so we'd know she was safe and then we went home.
