Two Daddies – Chapter XVII:

                They enter the hospital running but are stopped at the reception by a moody receptionist who insists they should fill a form before the doctor can see them. Kurt is incisive:

                “Please, can't you see my son is burning in fever? It won’t come down, even with the medicine.”

                “I’m sorry Sir, without the form the doctor can’t see him.”

                Kurt is about to protest but Blaine sign him to stop. Blaine gets the form from the lady and starts filling it. Kurt is pacing up and down as much as Adrian’s weight in his arms aloud. In this moment, Adrian pukes again and his eyes roll inside their orbit showing only the white part for a second. Kurt and Blaine turn cold and the receptionist is calling someone inside.

                Soon a male nurse appears with a hammock and takes Adrian in. They are following him but are stopped by the door by the security guard:

                “Only the parents are allowed in. Which one is the father?”

                Surprisingly, Blaine is the one taking an attitude:

                “We both are and we are both coming in now. Our son needs us and it’s neither you nor anybody else who will stop us from being with him.”

Adrian’s vein is picked so the doctors can apply a more efficient medicine. The boy is so weak that he doesn’t even complain. Kurt is by his side holding the Little One’s hand the whole time. Blaine is standing by them with his hand on Kurt’s shoulder.  Not much time has passed and Adrian is asleep.

                Kurt then looks at Blaine; they both pale and with concerned faces.  A nurse appears to take Adrian’s temperature and she says that he no longer has a fever but the doctor would come as soon as he has the exams results to explain things to them. They look at each other and allow themselves a moment of weakness. They hug and start crying in each other’s arm.

                After a few minutes, Adrian is still asleep and looking peaceful. With the medicine and the saline, his cheeks are rose again. Kurt is feeling calmer to leave his side for a moment so he can call his dad.

                When he enters the room again, Blaine turns his eyes from his son to his husband. Kurt gives him a small smile:

                “Dad is concerned, of course. He said he would sleep with his phone by his side and if we haven’t news of what Ady has or when he’s going home that he would take the first flight tomorrow. I also called Rachel. She was just leaving the theater and said she's coming over. How is he?”

                Blaine runs his thumb in Ade’s hand as he answers:

                “Peacefully asleep. His breath has even and all the monitors seem to be normal. His cheeks are rose and his hand isn’t burning.”

                Kurt goes delicately run his fingers in his son forehead. He smiles as he feels his temperature is down. Blaine is hugging him and smiles when he sees Kurt’s more calm face. Kurt is still watching Adrian when he points out:

                “Blee… you know you should call your family.”

                Blaine takes a deep breath before he answers:

                “I was thinking about that… Do you really think that after all Cooper and my father have said to us I should really give  them news about Ade?”

                Kurt puts his free hand on Blaine’s face:

                “They are still your family. Maybe you should call your mother. She’s too afraid of your father to take a stand in that entire situation but she never said anything against us. She was the one who supported you when you came out and she also is the one who asks for pictures of Adrian. Call her, Honey, and let her decide who she thinks should be informed.”

                “Okay.”

Blaine gets back in the room with Rachel. She hugs them both and says she’s there for whatever they need. She goes check on Ady when the doctor entered. He speaks directly to her:

                “Good news. Your son will be fine. Is it okay if I give the report in front of the uncle?”

                Blaine holds Kurt’s hand as he answers:

                “Actually, we are his two dads. She’s the godmother, but it’s okay to speak in front of her.”

                The doctor is clearly embarrassed:

                “My bad. His form wasn’t complete and I just took a wrong guess. Anyway, it seems that the cause of the boy’s illness tonight is psychological. The results of all the exams we did were normal; it seems like a nervous breakdown. Did he have anything to stress him out today?”

                Kurt was feeling guiltier than ever, he could just answer a feeble yes. The doctor went on:

                “Of course it’s only wise to watch him for a few more days. Take some other exams. But I believe in two or three days we are sending him home.”

                Kurt and Blaine smiled at each other. The doctor looked down and said one last thing:

                “I’m afraid that due to hospital rules only one parent can accompany the boy for the night. Who is it going to be?”
