Chapter 2

Burt swallowed his water and slowly walked over to the couch and sat down. Elisabeth tossed the shirt at him and said,

"Your seeing someone aren't you?" Burt looked at her and said,

"I met her at the bar a few weeks ago. We had some drinks and one thing led to another. She was mourning the loss of her husband. It was a mistake and I am sorry."

"You better not see her again!"

"I won't." Elisabeth kissed his check and the two of them went to bed. The next few weeks seemed to be going great then one night Burt came home and Elisabeth kissed him. When she did she noticed a very strong perfume on him that was not hers. Elizabeth took a step back and just stared at Burt. She then said,

"You saw her again didn't you? I thought you said you wouldn't see her again?"

"She came by the shop what was I supposed to do?" Elisabeth glared at him then said,

"You tell her that you made a mistake and that you are sorry."

"I tried but she came on to me and started kissing me." Elisabeth took a deep breath and said,

"Do you love her?" Burt hesitated. Elisabeth nodded then said, "That's what I thought. That's it I am done! I have done everything I can to make this  marriage work. I have done everything you have asked of me and I am tired of feeling worthless. I am leaving you Burt. You will be hearing from my lawyer. Oh and by the way I am taking my son and what is mine in this house. Don't try and follow us or try to find us or I will have you arrested!" Elisabeth turned to leave then said, "We will be leaving in the morning." She then left the hallway and went to her room. She pulled all of her suitcases out of her closet and began to pack up her clothes. She got all but a few nice clothes packed up before she broke down crying. She sat on the bed and just sobbed. Then as if somehow Clark knew she wasn't okay, he called her. Elisabeth felt her phone vibrate, she looked at the caller id, saw it was Clark, & smiled. She wiped her eyes and answered.

"Hello Clark! How are you?"

"I am good. You sound like you have been crying."

"I am okay. It's just been a long day."

"Nice try what's wrong Lissie? I know you better than that? What's wrong?"

"Burt is cheating on me so I am leaving him. I am divorcing him and taking my baby with me."

"He's cheating on you that bastard! Where are you going to go?"

"I was thinking of one of those extended stays with a kitchenette until I can figure things out."

"Why don't you guys stay with us until you can get back on your feet?"

"Clark I couldn't impose on you, Blaine, and Cooper like that."

"You wouldn't be imposing at all. I have plenty of space. We live in the house that I grew up in. Dad gave it to me when I got married."

"If you are sure it won't be a bother, I would appreciate it."

"Of course Lissie, you are like the sister I never had."

"Okay we will be there in the morning. Thanks Clark."

"No problem Elisabeth. Are you okay with Kurt sharing a room with Blaine?"

"Yeah that's fine."

"Okay see you in the morning." Elisabeth hung up the phone and finished packing up her stuff. She then cleared off her bed and went to Kurt's room. She picked up her sleeping little boy and moved him to her bed. She then went and packed up his clothes and some of his favorite things. The rest should have have to come back for. Elisabeth finished packing what she could from Kurt's room. She then went and curled up with him. Elisabeth slept so well that she slept right through her alarm. She woke up to the sound of food sizzling and her son's laughter. She ran downstairs to find Clark cooking breakfast. Cooper, Blaine, and Kurt were running around in the backyard. Elisabeth looked at her best friend and said,

"Clark what are you guys doing here?"

"We are here to help you move! We brought some extra hands and a truck."

"How did you guys get in?"

"Kurt saw me at the door and he recognized me and let us in." Elisabeth smiled and said,

"What is this mess in my kitchen?" Clark laughed and said,

"We can't move on an empty stomach, so I am making breakfast. Here is some coffee have a seat breakfast will be ready in about 5 minutes." He handed her a cup of coffee. Then he went to the back door and called out, "Boys breakfast time, come in and get washed up." The boys came right in and Cooper helped Kurt wash up. Clark put the food on the table and everyone ate. After breakfast cleanup, Clark asked, "What big stuff are you taking with you?"

"Kurt's bed, dresser, my dresser, my chair, my china cabinet, and my table and chairs." Clark nodded at Cooper who grabbed two chairs and carried then out to the truck. Elisabeth & Clark wrapped her china in newspaper and placed them in a box. Clark then helped cooper load the rest of the big stuff into the truck. Elisabeth then grabbed the rest of her stuff and Kurt's stuff. Kurt and Blaine helped with the small things. Once everything Elisabeth could think of that she needed was packed up, she double checked the house then they got ready to leave. Clark put Kurt into his car seat in Elisabeth's car. Blaine climbed into the backseat next to Kurt. Clark climbed into the truck and Cooper drove his car. Elisabeth followed them to the house. Once they arrived, they got everything unloaded and set up for Elisabeth and Kurt. Clark then released the boys to play outside. Cooper went to work, he worked at the hospital  as a secretary. Lunchtime rolled around and Clark had prepared grilled cheese and Tomato soup with cheese. He called the boys in. After lunch, Elisabeth laid Kurt down for a nap before taking one herself hoping to get rid of her migraine. Kurt woke up from his nap and went downstairs to find Blaine working on summer work. Clark got some paper and crayons for Kurt to color. Once Blaine finished his work, Clark had a snack ready to go. Today's snack was apples with peanut butter. This was one if Blaine's favorite snacks. He began to devour the ones on his plate. Kurt, who had never had peanut butter before, just looked at it for a moment. He then picked up an apple slice and licked  the peanut butter., It was smooth and creamy so he took a bit. He liked it. He finished his first apple and grabbed another one. He took a bite of the second one and noticed that it was getting harder to swallow. Blaine turned to ask Kurt if he wanted some juice and noticed that his face looked funny. He said,

"Dad something is wrong with Kurt, his face is all red and puffy." Clark stopped what he was doing and ran over. He took one look at Kurt and said,

"Blaine I need to you go wake up Ms. Elisabeth now!" Blaine jumped down from his chair and ran up the stairs two at a time. Meanwhile Clark pulled out his phone and called 911. Blaine knocked on Elisabeth's door screaming, "Ms. Elisabeth come quick there is something wrong with Kurt!" Elisabeth awoke with a start, opened the door, ran past Blaine, down the stairs and into the living room. She saw Kurt with a red swollen face and he was on the couch with his feet up on the arm. Clark was checking for a pulse. He told Blaine to go wait for the ambulance. Elisabeth ran to Kurt's side and grabbed his hand. She just looked at Clark. As if Clark knew what Elisabeth was thinking before she said it her said,

"Kurt had an allergic reaction to either the apples or the peanut butter. I didn't know he was allergic to either one I am sorry." Elisabeth looked at her best friend and said through tears,

"He has had apples before. He loves apples. It was probably the peanut butter and its okay." Just then Blaine ran back into the room followed by the paramedics. When they saw Kurt on the couch, they knew what had happened. Clark looked at them  and said,

"'He had a severe allergic reaction to peanut butter. He does have a pulse and he is still breathing. It is shallow but he is still breathing." The female put on some gloves and grabbed an alcohol pad from  her bag. She opened it and rubbed in on Kurt's thigh. She then injected some epinephrine into his thigh. She then covered it and then her partner picked him up and carried him to the ambulance. He was put on the stretcher and placed on oxygen. Elisabeth, Clark, and Blaine followed them outside. The male paramedic said,

"Only one parent allowed." Elisabeth said,

"I am his mother!" She climbed in and Clark said,

"We will meet you there go! Are you taking him to Columbus Regional?" The driver nodded. Then they closed the door and were off. Clark ran into to grab his phone and his keys. Blaine got in the car and they drove to the hospital. On the way to the hospital Blaine asked,

"Daddy is Kurt going to be okay?" Clark smiled and said,

"Yes he will be okay. They are going to give him some more medicine to help him feel better. They may keep him overnight just make sure that he is okay." Blaine thought for a minute then said,

"Did the ambulance people take him to the hospital you work at Daddy?"

"Yep they sure did buddy!" Soon Clark and Blaine arrived at the hospital. Clark parked in his parking spot and they went inside. They went up to the desk and the nurse at the desk said,

"Dr. Anderson what can I do for you today?"

"Hey Shelia, what room is Kurt Hummel in?" She looked at the computer and said,

"It looks like he is in room 301." He smiled and said,

"Thanks Shelia." They went to the room and found Kurt asleep on oxygen and an IV in his hand. Elisabeth looked up went they entered the room. She looked at Clark and said,

"Hey, they finally got the swelling and he is sleeping. The doctor was able to confirm it was an allergic reaction to the Peanut Butter. They gave him meds and recommended that I take him to an allergist to see what else he may be allergic too. He is only two years old how can this be happening. I don't have the money for an allergy specialist and the thought of my baby having to carry an Epi-pen around with him  for the rest of his life scares me. I don't want him to have to worry about that like I do." Clark just looked at her and said,

"You have an Epi-pen? You never told me that and I have know you a long time." Elisabeth nodded and said,

"Yep I have one. I have since elementary school. I am allergic to Shellfish and soy." Clark nodded and then said,

"Good to know! One of the doctors on my team is an allergy specialist and he would be more than happy to test him. He owns me a favor anyways. I will talk to him for you."

"Clark you have done so much for us already I couldn't ask you to do that."

"It's   not a big deal promise. In fact if you will watch Blaine I will go call him now." Elisabeth nodded and Clark left the room. Blaine pulled out deck of math flash cards from his backpack. And began to flip through him. Elisabeth asked him,

"Would you like me to quiz you?" Blaine nodded. Meanwhile Clark called his friend,

"Hey Steve it's Clark. How are you?"

"Clark good to hear from you I am great to hear from you! I am good. How are your boys doing?"

"They are good. How is Daniel doing?"

"Daniel is doing great thanks to you! What are you up to?"

"Well that is why I am calling. One of my best friend's two year old son is in the hospital. He had a severe allergic reaction to Peanut Butter. She is concerned that he might allergic to more. She is allergic to shellfish and Soy. Would it be possible for you to allergy test him for me?"

"Of course. I can stop by the hospital tomorrow morning before he leaves."

" That would be amazing Steve. I will let his mom know. See you tomorrow. Oh by the way he is in room 301 in the pediatric ward." Clark hung up the phone and went back to the room. He smiled at his best friend and son doing math facts. Then Kurt began to toss and turn. Elisabeth noticed this and grabbed her baby's hand. Kurt slowly opened his eyes and said,

"Mama my frot and hand hurt! Fis it peas."
