I don't own the Characters they belong to Glee. This is an AU but with real timelines from glee.

Elisabeth and Burt looked into each other's eyes. They were young he was 19 and she was only 17 but here they were getting married. Elisabeth was a month pregnant with Burt's child. Their parents were forcing them to get married. They had been dating for four years and as Elisabeth's graduation was approaching she agreed to sleep with Burt. They had used protection but it didn't work. When she told Burt he was scared and tried to run but then their parents found out. Neither set of parents knew that they had slept together but her parents found out and told his parents. Burt's parents told him that if he didn't man up and marry her then her parents would press charges for under age rape. He decided to do the right thing and marry Elisabeth. They had a small church wedding with just family. Burt's parents converted their garage into a small apartment for the newly weds. Burt was working at his father's tire shop and Elisabeth was planning on going to college to become a teacher. The summer was coming to a close and Elisabeth woke up one morning in a lot of pain. She went to the doctor and found out that she was having a miscarriage. She cried the whole way home. Elisabeth had always wanted a child. She knew the likelihood of her having a child would be hard and dangerous due to her having cancer as a child and teenager but she was still hopeful. That night when Burt came home Elisabeth had prepared his favorite dinner and dessert, spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and banana pudding. The two of them ate in silence for the first half of dinner then Elisabeth asked Burt,

"So how was your day?"

"It was good. We were busy since it is right before school and all the parents are having their children's cars worked on before they head back to school. How was your day?"

"Well it was okay. I woke up in a lot of pain and so I went to see the doctor..."

"What did the doctor have to say?"

"Well I had a miscarriage. I am so sorry." Burt just sat there for a little bit eating then said,

"We can try again but I think for now you should focus on school and once you are done we can try again." Elisabeth nodded and the evening progressed. As the next seven years passed Elisabeth and Burt continued to try to have kids with no success. Elisabeth had three more miscarriages. Her doctor told her that if she did manage to get pregnant again it would be very stressful on her body and could potentially kill her or cause harm to the baby. She managed to graduate from college and became a teacher. She was a third grade teacher. She loved her job and her kids. By this time Burt and Elisabeth had saved up enough money to get a small two bedroom apartment and moved out of his parents place. Then one day right before Christmas, Elisabeth woke up feeling sick. She figured it was just her monthly cycle as it was irregular and she never really knew when it was coming so she got ready for work as if was a normal day. After lunch while her students were at recess she felt very sick to her stomach and began to throw up. Several of her students noticed and came over to her. She asked two of them to go get the nurse. The students left and came back with the nurse. She put Elisabeth in a wheelchair and pushed her to the clinic. The students followed them. She helped Elisabeth on to the beds and then told her she would be right back. She had the students follow her to the assistant principals office. She explained what was going on and asked her to take Elisabeth's class. The nurse then went back to the clinic to find Elisabeth in the bathroom throwing up. Once she finished, the nurse helped Elisabeth back to the bed and she asked her,

"Would you like me to call an ambulance for you?" Elisabeth nodded and closed her eyes. the nurse then called an ambulance and informed the office. The ambulance arrived and took Elisabeth to the hospital. Upon arriving the doctor ran a urine sample and found out that Elisabeth was pregnant. He went into the room and gave her the news. She was excited and scared at the same time. She left and made an appointment for the next day with her OBGYN. She then called the school to let them know that she would be out tomorrow and would need a sub. She then stopped by the tire shop and found Burt in his office. She closed the door and told him the news. He seemed very happy and told her that he was going to come with her to the appointment. The next day the doctor told her that she was about two months along and that he was prescribing bed rest and anti nausea meds. Elisabeth and Burt went home and then Elisabeth called the school and spoke with the Principal. They were able to work something out. The next seven months went by very slow for Elisabeth. She was able to teach her students from home with a sub in the classroom to monitor the students. When she was 7 months pregnant she woke up one morning just after school had ended in a whole lot of pain. She went to the doctor as scheduled and told him what was going on. He did an ultrasound and found out that the baby heartbeat was slow which meant that the baby had the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. He told Elisabeth this and that he was going to have to do an emergency c-section. She then asked if she could call Burt to tell him what was going on. He said yes and stepped out to call the hospital to let them know. Elisabeth called Burt's phone but there was no answer so she called the tire shop only to find out that he was not in. She left a message for him to meet her at the hospital when he got back that she was having an emergency c-section. The employee said that he would pass along the message. Elisabeth waited to hear back from Burt but heard nothing by the time the ambulance arrived. The doctor told her that she would meet her at the hospital. She nodded and looked at her phone. She texted Burt that she loved him. The ambulance arrived and Elisabeth was taken to the hospital and was immediately prepared for surgery. The doctor arrived and the nurses brought Elisabeth into the operating room. Meanwhile Burt arrived back at the shop and was given the message and he left the tire shop and went to the hospital. He arrived and went inside and inquired about his wife. He was told she was in surgery and he could have a seat. The receptionist telephoned the OR to let the doctor know that Burt had arrived. The surgery went well and little Kurt was delivered and taken to the NICU due to his lungs not being fully developed. Elisabeth was taken back to the room and Burt was allowed in to see her. After a little bit she woke up and the doctor arrived and asked,

"How are you doing?"

"Good. Where is my baby? Is he okay? When can we see him?" The doctor swallowed and said,

"Mr and Mrs Hummel there were some complications. Your son's lungs were underdeveloped and so he is in an incubator on oxygen in the NICU. He also was born with a very rare condition where he was born with the normal male anatomy but he also has a uterus which means he will be able to have children. I know this is shocking but it doesn't mean that he will not have a normal life. It just means that should the need arise he can get pregnant and have children. Other than that he is a healthy baby. He will be in the NICU for about two weeks." Elisabeth looked at Burt and Burt said,

"He got that from my side of the family. My brother was born like that. Sorry I didn't think to mention that."

"That would have been a good thing to mention, you dip shit!" Elisabeth then said to the doctor, "When can we see him?"

"I can take you up to the NICU now if you would like." Elisabeth nodded. The doctor then went and found a wheelchair and him and Burt helped Elisabeth off the bed and into the wheelchair. He then pushed her to see Kurt. They got there and Elisabeth saw her little Kurt just lying in the incubator and she got tears in her eyes. The nurse on duty opened one of the little holes in the side and Elisabeth put her hand in and began to rub Kurt's tiny hand. He smiled even though her was still asleep. This made both Burt and Elisabeth smile. Kurt stayed in the hospital for the next two weeks. Elisabeth stayed with him every day all day. She read to him and sang to him and at the end of the first week she was able to hold him. When Kurt finally got to come home Elisabeth was so excited. Burt was excited but not as excited as Elisabeth. Kurt was her whole world, the reason she got up everyday, the reason she was able to loose her baby fat so fast, and the reason she had to live! She recorded everything Kurt did in a baby book and took lots of pictures. Elisabeth shared these moments with Burt who though she was a little obsessed. Just after Kurt's second birthday Elisabeth woke up one morning feeling very sick to her stomach. She knew what this feeling was and got very worried. She called her doctor and was told to just come in and he would see her. She tried to find someone to watch Kurt but with no avail. She ended up having to take him with her. She found out that she was about a month pregnant. The doctor told her to take it easy and try not to over do it. She took Kurt home, fed him lunch, and then laid him down for a nap. Once he was in his room she went into her room and cried. She wanted another child but she was also scared that something would happen to her which would leave Burt to take care of Kurt. She trusted Burt to take care of her son but she didn't trust him at the same time. (One day Elisabeth had left Burt at home with Kurt while she ran to the grocery store and came home to find Kurt making a mess in kitchen with pots and pans while Burt sat on the couch watching football. She never left him with Burt again.) When Burt got home from work Elisabeth told him the news. He was shocked and a little bit upset.

"We already have a two year old we don't need another child. We are barley making ends meet now. I thought we agreed that we weren't going to have anymore children and that once August hit Kurt was going to daycare and you were going back to work!" Elisabeth just looked at Burt in shock. Then after a few seconds said,

"You think I planned this? You think I want to be put back on bed rest and not be able to care for our son? I didn't plan this and yes that was the plan but sometimes plans change."

"Well this wasn't part of the plan!" But stood up from the table and stormed out of the house. Elisabeth wiped away the tears that were falling down her cheeks then got up to clean up from dinner while Kurt finished eating. She bathed Kurt, read him a story, and tucked him in bed. She then called her best friend Clark Anderson. The two talked for several hours. They had been best friends since elementary school. Clark was there when Elisabeth had first been diagnosed with cancer and had stayed by her side ever since. Over the next couple of months, Elisabeth put all her time and focus into potty training Kurt so he could attend daycare in the fall. About a month later Elisabeth woke up in a whole lot of pain. She got up got her self dressed, got Kurt up, got him dressed and drove to the ER. She waited about 30 minutes and when she was finally seen she found out that she was having another miscarriage and this time it was really bad. The doctor got her all taken care of and recommended that she get a hysterectomy so that she doesn't cause her body anymore pain. She agreed and and said that she would contact her doctor to set up an appointment. She called as soon as she left the ER and was able to get the surgery scheduled for the end of the week. At dinner that night Elisabeth told Burt what had happened that day.

"So I woke this morning in a lot of pain and so I went to the ER and I found out that I was having a miscarriage. The doctor on call said that it was a very bad miscarriage and that I should probably look at having a complete hysterectomy. So, I called my OBGYN and I am scheduled to have one on Friday. So I will need you to take me and then come pick me up when it's done. I will also need you to please watch Kurt." Burt looked at her and said,

" What the hell am I supposed to do with Kurt all day? I have to work. I can't just take the day off and watch him."

"Watch your language! Kurt is listening. Well I can't take him with me he is too little to sit in the waiting room alone! What am I supposed to do? I thought you would be happy that I wasn't going to be able to have kids anymore and I could go back to work. I guess I was wrong."

"It's not that I don't want anymore kids its just right now is not a good time and I don't know what to tell you about Kurt. I have to be a work on Friday!" Burt left the room and Elisabeth heard the door open and close then the car start and Burt drove off. She grabbed her phone and called Clark. He answered on the first ring.

"Hello beautiful! How are you doing?" Elisabeth said with tears coming down her face,

"I am okay how are you?"

"I am good what is wrong?"

"I had a miscarriage and this time it was really bad. I have an appointment for Friday to have a compete hysterectomy. Burt is being a jerk and won't watch Kurt and I don't know what to do." Elisabeth then broke down sobbing.

"Hey Lissie, its okay. I will come and help out. I can reschedule my meetings on Friday and come help you. Blaine will be in school so I can focus on you and Kurt. What time do I need to be at your place to pick you up?"

"You don't have to do that Clark."

"I know but you are my best friend besides it gives me a chance to see you it's been too long."

"You are too sweet. I have to be a the hospital at 11:00."

"Great! I will pick you guys up at 10:00 and we will get the party started."

"You are amazing Clark. I wish that sometimes you and I could have gotten married."

"Me too but things happened for a reason. See you Friday."

"See you Friday Clark." Elisabeth hung up the phone talking to Clark always made her feel better. She cleaned up from dinner and then took Kurt and got him ready for bed. The week went by very slow. Elisabeth could hear Burt coming and going but she never actually saw him. He left before she got up and came home after dark. She assumed he was working late but boy was she wrong.

Friday arrived and Elisabeth got up and got Kurt up. She packed his backpack with snacks and his DVD player and some books and movies. She fed him breakfast and then got him dressed. At 10:00 Clark arrived and knocked on the door. Elisabeth opened the door and Clark hugged her. He then took the two bags from her and picked up Kurt. He carried him to the car and buckled him into the car seat in the back of his car. He then put the bags on the other side. He then opened the door for Elisabeth. She smiled and climbed into the car. Clark drove to the hospital and once they arrived Elisabeth checked in and the waiting game began. The next few hours ticked by. Elisabeth went back for surgery and about an hour later she was back in her room. After about another hour she was discharged and Clark drive her and Kurt home. He helped her get herself and Kurt inside and told her,

"If you need anything in the next few days please let me know. I may live an hour from here but I will not hesitate to come out here!"

"Thanks again so much Clark and I will let you know."

"Now promise me you won't over do it."

"I promise." He hugged her and gave Kurt a high five and left. After feeding Kurt and putting him to bed Elisabeth decided to do some laundry. She went into the bedroom and got the laundry basket from the bathroom and wheeled it to the laundry room. She began to pull clothes out and put them in the washer. She pulled out one of Burt's shirts and found a lipstick stain on the collar. It was a light shade of red. Elisabeth threw the shirt aside and finished putting the clothes into the washer. She turned it on, grabbed the shirt and went into the living room. She turned on the tv and waited for Burt to come home. About 12:25 Elisabeth checked her phone and saw that Burt was almost home. She was using an app that allowed her to track him. She turned off the tv and all the lights in the living room and waited in the dark. Around 12:30 the door lock turned and Burt pushed open the door. Elisabeth waited until he quietly closed the door, put his keys quietly down on the table, locked the door, and took off his shoes. He turned around and quietly walked into the kitchen. He grabbed a cup and got some water then she turned on the living room light and said,

"Hello Burt! Why don't you have a seat and explain why there is red lipstick on your collar and I don't wear or own any!" All the color drained from Burt's face as he stood there like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.
