Chapter 5

Kurt smiled, nodded, and said,"Yes!" Blaine slid the ring onto Kurt's finger and they kissed. The warbles cheered. Blaine thanked them and took Kurt by the hand and led him to the car. On the way to the hospital Blaine turned on some music. Kurt began to sing along without even realizing he was. Blaine smiled and listened to Kurt sing. His voice was really good. The song ended and Blaine said,

"You have a really good voice." Kurt blushed and said,"It's not that good, but thanks."

"Your voice is really good." They arrived at the hospital. They walked to Elisabeth's room. Myriam was in the room when they arrived. Elisabeth smiled at the boys as they walked in. Kurt went over hugged his mom and then showed her his left hand. Elizabeth gasped, "Oh my! Congrats baby I am so happy for you. Blaine promise me that you will take care of him." Blaine smiled and said,

"Yes ma'am. I promise." Just then Doctor Turner walked in followed by Clark. She greeted Myriam, Kurt, Blaine. She then said,

"Now that everyone is here we can talk. Elizabeth your cancer is moving fast. You have about two weeks to live. Now you can either stay here which is what I recommend or you can go home." Clark then said,

"Why don't you stay with us. I can keep an eye on you and the bed in our guest room is more comfortable." Dr. Turner looked at Elisabeth and said,

"The choice is yours. What do you want to do?" Elisabeth though for a minute then said,

"I want to spend the time I have left with my family not in a a hospital room." Dr. Turner smiled and said,

"Okay I will get your discharge papers ready to go and you will be on your way." Kurt smiled at his mom and she smiled back. Just then there was a knock on the door. Clark opened it and in walked a lady with some flowers. Elisabeth sat up a little bit more and said,

"Sarah what are you doing here?"

"Well everyone at school has been asking about you and want to know how you are doing and when you are coming back. Everyone misses your smiling face and your kids have been so good and ask me everyday when is Ms. Hummel coming back we miss her. Your kids made this card and they all signed it and the staff pitched in and we got you these flowers." Elisabeth smiled and said,

"Sarah you guys are amazing. I miss my kids too. You will have to tell them I said hi. As far as me coming back. I wont be. My lung cancer has come back and it is progressing really fast. I have been given about two weeks to live." Sarah's mouth dropped open. She then said,

"Oh my god Lizzie that is awful. What do I tell everyone? They will be devastated."

"Tell the staff the truth and tell my kids that I am very sick and that I won't be returning and that I am so sorry. Actually would it be possible for me to stop by and see them one last time. Clark can we make that happen?" Clark thought for a moment then said,

"I think we make it happen. Mrs. Walker when would be a good time to stop by?"

"Let me see this week we have been testing and tomorrow afternoon we are watching a movie so that will work." Clark said,

"Okay I will bring her up tomorrow afternoon." Elisabeth said,

"Please don't tell my kids I want to surprise them. Sarah left and Dr. Turner returned with the discharge papers.

"Now I am sending you home with a small oxygen tank and I have someone coming by tomorrow to set up one at the house. I want you to wear the oxygen at all times, even when you are sleeping. Do you have any questions?" Elisabeth shook her head. "Good then here is your paperwork and you are good to go. I will have a nurse wheel you out once you get changed." Clark, Blaine, Kurt and Dr. Turner all left the room while Myriam and a nurse helped Elisabeth get dressed. Once she was back in normal clothes they helped her into the wheelchair. The nurse then detached the oxygen from the hospital machine and reattached it to the one that she placed on Elisabeth's lap. They left the room. Clark went and got his car and pulled it up the to exit. Kurt walked next to his mom. When they got outside Clark helped Elisabeth get situated in the car. Then they left. Myriam walked to her car while Kurt and Blaine walked to Blaine's car. Once they were inside the car, Kurt broke down in tears. Blaine took Kurt's hand and said,

"Kurt honey it's going to be okay. I am here for you." Kurt continued to cry and aid through sobs,

"My mom only has about two weeks to live. How... am... I... going.. to.. live.. without... her. My mom has always been there for me." Blaine handed Kurt a tissue and his inhaler. Then he said

" Kurt it will be okay. It is going to suck I won't lie to you. You are not alone you have me first and foremost, my dad, Myriam, and the Warblers even though you won't start until January." Kurt took another puff of his inhaler and said,

"Thanks Blaine. I wouldn't be able to get through this without you. I love you!"

"I love you too Kurt. I am here and I always will be here for you. You will have the memories of your mom that will last forever. I still have the memories of my grandfather. I miss him everyday but it does get easier. You will always miss her but she will always be in you heart. Feel better?" Kurt nodded and blew his nose.

"Let's get back to the house Blaine so no one will worry about us." Blaine drove to his house and they went in for dinner. The next day Clark drove Elisabeth up to the school. Elisabeth got to the school while the students were at lunch so she sat at her desk to wait for them to come back. They walked in and were so surprised to see her that they nearly knocked her over. She had them all sit on the carpet and she sat in a chair. Once they were quiet she said,

"Hello everyone. I want to start off by saying that I heard that you guys are doing an amazing job for the sub while I have been gone so thank you. Now I know that all of you are wondering when I will be coming back. I hate to tell you but I am not coming back. I have lung cancer. Do you guys remember how in science earlier this year we talked about how bad cells attack the good cells and that some diseases the good cells attack not only the bad cells but each other. Well that is what cancer does. I am going to miss everyone one or you and you guys will do great things in life." She stood up and everyone hugged her and Clark led her to the car. Kurt was so busy over the next two weeks with midterms and wedding planning that it flew.

Finally December 20th, the day of the wedding arrived, the Anderson's backyard had been transformed to match Kurt and Blaine's vision perfectly. Kurt got ready and went to his mom's room while she got ready. Kurt sat on the bed while his mom put on some makeup.

"Do you remember the first time I put on your make-up?" Elisabeth turned around and looked at him. She said,

"Yes you were 5 years old it was right after we moved into the apartment and you decided that you wanted to wear makeup like I did. I helped you put it on. I knew right then and there that you were different and that was just fine with me. You are my son and I love you no matter what. I also knew at that moment that you were indeed gay. I had my suspicions for a while.

"I love you too mom."

"I am so happy that you are getting married to Blaine. You guys are going to be great together." Elisabeth began to cough really hard. Kurt grabbed a bottle of water, opened it, and handed it to Elisabeth. She took a couple of sips and her breathing steadied. She then said to Kurt, "Let's go it is time." Kurt and Elisabeth walked to the backyard. Blaine smiled at his soon to be husband as he walked down the aisle. When they reached the front Elisabeth kissed Kurt and sat down. The pastor who was a family friend of the Andersons' was doing the ceremony. He began,

"Dearly beloved we are gathered he today to celebrate the marriage of these two fine young men Blaine Devon Anderson and Kurt Elisabeth Hummel. Blaine I have watched you grow up over the years into the young man that you are today. Kurt I have only know you a short time but you are a sweet young man. Before we go any further is there anyone here today that objects to these two getting married. Please speak now or forever hold your peace." Myriam shifted in her seat but didn't say a word. She would deal with it later. Since no one spoke the pastor continued, "The boys have written their own vows, Kurt you are up first." Kurt cleared his throat and said

"Blaine I don't know where to begin. When we were little you were my best and only friend. Then you went off to middle school we began to drift apart. I began high school and I began to hate my life. I had thought about ending my life multiple times. Then a year ago we bumped into each other, literally, I fell for you. We began to talk and having someone I could talk to about the bullying helped me more than you will ever know. Then you asked me on a date and here we are. You have an amazing smile, personality and your voice is like angel. You are sweet, kind, and caring. I can't promise to always be okay or not struggle but I can promise to always love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Tears were coming down Kurt's face. Blaine pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to Kurt. Elisabeth had tears in her eyes too. Blaine cleared his throat and said,

"Kurt I have liked you since we were little. When we stopped talking when I went off to middle school and we lost contact I was upset but I didn't think you wanted to be friends with someone in middle school so I stayed away. Then when we bumped into each other last year I was so happy. In those few minutes we were talking I fell for you all over again. I decided that I had lost you once and I didn't want to loose you again. I was already planning on marrying you one day. I love your personality and your amazing smile. You have a beautiful voice. I can't promise to not be a workaholic or sometimes be in a bad mood some days but I can promise to love you always. I can promise that and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you either." The pastor then said,

"Now please exchange rings." Both boys placed the ring on his husbands finger and said ' This ring is a symbol if my love to you and my promise to love you always.' "By the power vested in me by the state of Ohio I now pronounce you husband and husband you may now kiss one another." Blaine and Kurt kissed while everyone cheered. "It is my pleasure to introduce for the first time Mr. Blaine and Kurt Anderson." Everyone stood and cheered as Kurt and Blaine walked to the house. Clark helped Elisabeth inside to the couch. Elisabeth sat on the couch and closed her eyes. Cooper made sure that all the speakers were plugged in and helped Clark and the Warblers move the chairs to make room for dancing. Kurt saw his mom on the couch and he went over to her. He kissed her on the cheek and she opened her eyes and smiled at him.

" The chairs are almost put up and it is time for our first dance and then it will be time for the mother/son dance. Do you feel up to coming back out? If not it is okay." Elisabeth took Kurt's hand and said,

"You are my only son and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Help me up please." Kurt helped his mother up and outside to a chair. Cooper then grabbed a mic and said,

""Hello everyone! Please join us outside for the first dance followed by the mother/son dance." Blaine walked over, took Kurt by the hand, and led him to the middle of the yard. Cooper started the music. 'Story of My Life' by One Direction began to play. Kurt and Blaine danced as if they had been dancing together their whole life. When the song ended, Kurt and Blaine tripped over each other and ended up falling on the ground laughing as the did. Blaine helped Kurt up and they dusted each other off. Then it was time for the mother/son dance. Blaine went over to where Myriam was standing and led her to the makeshift dance floor. Kurt went over to Elisabeth and helped her up then lead her over to where Blaine and Myriam were. The song 'Candles' by Hey Monday began to fill the yard. By then end of the song Kurt was pretty much holding Elisabeth up. They were both crying. Elisabeth kissed Kurt on the forehead and leaned in saying,

"I love you so very much. No matter what remember that." Kurt smiled and said,

"I love you too mama." Kurt led his mom back over to her chair. Copper then cranked up the dance music and everyone hit the dance floor. After the cake was cut, Elisabeth pulled Kurt aside and said

"Kurt baby I love you. Congrats on your wedding. I am not feeling good I am going to go lay down." Kurt hugged his mom and said,

"Thanks mama. I love you too. Do you want me to help you inside?" Elisabeth smiled and said

"You are a sweetheart. You stay out here with Blaine and I will have Clark help me." Kurt hugged his mom and walked over to where Blaine was taking to some of the Warblers. Elisabeth got Clark attention and he came over. She said, "Will you please help me inside?" Clark nodded and helped her to her room. Once she was in bed, Clark asked,

"Do you need anything before I go back out?" Elisabeth shook her head. The party went on until almost midnight. Once everyone had left, Blaine pulled Kurt away and they left for a hotel for the night. Once they were in the room Blaine flopped down on the bed, looked at Kurt, and said,

"Well that was fun!" Kurt flopped down next to Blaine and said

"Yeah it was! So now that we are married I guess that means that we have to you know..." His cheeks turned bright red. Blaine rolled over and looked at Kurt and said,

"If you don't want to have sex then we don't have to. I won't force you to do anything that you don't want to do." Kurt caught Blaine's eyes and said,

It's not that I don't want to do it just that I have never done it before and I am scared." Blaine smiled,

"Well how about we take it nice and slow and if at any point you want me to stop then I will. Does that sound good?"

"Yes but there is something that you need to know. I have ovaries like a female does and that means that I can get pregnant." Blaine rolled off the bed and walked over to the couch, opened his bag, and pulled out a box of condoms. He walked back over to the bed saying,

"Then these will come in handy!" Kurt looked at him for a few seconds then said,

"Does that not weird you out?"

"No I know that things like that can happen and I know several other guys who have the same uniqueness about them. Copper being one of them."

"Wait Cooper is gay too?"

"Yep he has been with his boyfriend for about two years." Kurt smiled and said,

"Okay let's do this!" He then slid off the bed and began to take his clothes off. Blaine set the box of condoms down on the bed and did the same thing.

After about 15 minutes, Blaine fell onto his back and said,

"Well how was it?" Kurt took a couple of puffs from his inhaler and said,

"That was amazing! I didn't expect it to feel that good. It didn't hurt at all. It was a little uncomfortable at first but after that it was great." Blaine smiled and said,

"I am glad that you enjoyed it." We should probably get some sleep we have to be at the airport in 12 hours." Kurt looked at him and said,

Airport where are we going?" Blaine smiled and said,

"That my dear husband is a surprise!" He  kissed Kurt and got up to put on pajamas.
