Early the next morning Dr. Wilson came in and checked Elizabeth's pulse. Clark who had followed her in looked at her and she shook her head. Clark went over gently woke up Blaine. He put his finger up to his lips and mentioned for Blaine to follow him into the hallway.

"Hey when Kurt wakes up he is going to realize his mother is dead and he will need us more than ever especially now. He is going to take her death very hard." Just then they heard Kurt scream.

Kurt opened his eyes and stretched. He then gently nudged his mom. When she didn't respond he tried again this time a little harder.

" Mama, mama!" She didn't move. He then put his head on her chest and that is when he realized that her heart wasn't beating. He then noticed that the machines were all off. Kurt realized his mother was dead. He screamed , "No" and began to cry and hyperventilate.

Clark and Blaine came running back into the room. Blaine ran over to Kurt and pried him off mother's body. He led Kurt over to the couch and held him as he sobbed. Blaine reached over and pulled Kurt's inhaler out of his backpack. He handed it to Kurt who took a few puffs. Clark handed Blaine a glass of water. Blaine helped Kurt take a couple of sips as he was shaking really bad. Clark sat down on the other side of Kurt. After a few minutes and Kurt had calmed down Clark said,

"Kurt buddy your mom was ready to go. She didn't want to leave you but the truth is your mom had been sick for a while. She played it off because she didn't want to worry you. She held on as long as she could. She wanted to wait until you got back from your honeymoon so she could see you face and tell your face and tell you she loved you one last time. You guys have had a long week, how about you and Blaine head back to the house and I will meet you guys at home around 6 and we can do spaghetti and meatballs." Kurt looked at Clark and said,

"I have only ever had my mom's spaghetti and meatballs but I will try yours."Clark smiled and said,

"Sounds like a plan." Blaine hugged Kurt & grabbed his backpack and the two of them walked to Blaine's car. Blaine turned on some music. Kurt wasn't in the mood to sing but when one of his favorites came on 'Defying Gravity' he couldn't help but sing along. Once they song was over Blaine said,

" You need to try out of the Warblers! You would make a great edition." Kurt smiled and his cheeks turned pink. He loved to sing and though about it for a minute before saying,

"Sure why not can't hurt." The two boys sang along to more broadway songs the rest of the way home. When they arrived home they unpacked and sat on the couch and watched Food Network. Around 6 pm Clark arrived home and began to cook dinner. Soon the whole house smelled amazing. Clark called to the boys to the kitchen for dinner. There was spaghetti and meatballs, salad, and garlic bread. Kurt took a bite and said,

"This is so good. It taste just like my mom's! Clark smiled at Blaine then said,

"Your mother got the recipe from me. My mom made it when we were younger and she asked for the recipe." Kurt just smiled and continued to shove the spaghetti into his mouth. He had two helpings. After dinner was cleaned up, they decided to watch a movie. They decided on 'The Sound of Music.' Kurt fell asleep with about 30 minutes left of the movie. Blaine picked him up and carried him up to bed. Blaine helped a half asleep Kurt change into his pajamas.

The next week flew by for both Kurt and Blaine. Monday morning arrived and Kurt's alarm went off and he turned it off. He rolled out of bed and walked sleepy to the bathroom. After 30 minutes he emerged and walked back to the bedroom. He walked over to the chair where his clothes were laid out. He got dressed and walked down stairs. Blaine was cooking breakfast. Kurt sat down and Blaine placed a plate of food in front of Kurt. It had eggs, bacon, and waffles. Blaine then set down a glass of orange juice. Kurt picked at the food. Blaine looked at him and said,

"Hey honey what's the matter?"

"I am nervous that I am not going to fit in and no one is going to like me."

"First off there is a zero bullying policy at Dalton. Second you are going to fit in just fine just be yourself. The Warblers are going to love you. Jeff is super excited, plus you know you can come to me when ever you need anything." Blaine kissed him and then said,

"Now eat up have a big day a head of you." Blaine then poured himself a second cup of coffee in a travel cup. Soon Kurt and Blaine were in the car. Kurt was looking at the map of the school and his class schedule that Blaine had picked up yesterday. By the time they arrived at Dalton, Kurt was a nervous wreck. He had already used his inhaler. Blaine parked the car and turned to look at Kurt. Blaine placed his hand on Kurt's leg and said,

"Hey Kurt honey look at me you've got this. Take a couple of deep breaths for me. There we go." Blaine kissed him and got out of the car. He walked around and opened the door Kurt. Kurt smiled and nodded. He climbed out of the car. They walked into the school. Blaine told Kurt he would see hm later. Kurt walked to his first class and walked in. The teacher was sitting at his desk. Kurt closed the door and the teacher looked up,

" Are you by chance Mr. Kurt Hummel-Anderson?" Kurt swallowed and nodded. He handed Kurt a slip of paper. "I was told to give you this and have you go to the computer lab." Kurt looked confused and left the room. He pulled out his map and found the computer lab. He walked in and found a women sitting behind a desk reading a book. Kurt walked over and said,

"Excuse me ma'am I was told to come here by my first period teacher." The women put down her book and said,

"Name?"

"Kurt Hummel-Anderson." She then said,

" Take a seat at any computer, log in using the info on this card. Then follow the directions on the screen." She then handed him a card and went back to her book. Kurt walked over to a computer and sat down. He logged in and the next screen said,

'This is the Dalton Academy Placement Test. The test is divided into four sections, Mathematics , Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. You will have one hour for each section and a half hour break in the middle. You may use the restroom however the clock won't stop. You will be given the opportunity to take a bathroom break in between each section. Scrap paper will be provided fo the math section. If you need to leave for any reason please notify the proctor. If you are ready to begin please press next.' Kurt swallowed and clicked next. After what seemed like for ever Kurt was finally done with all four sections. He then stood up and walked over to the proctor. She didn't look up form her book. Kurt cleared his throat. She looked up and said,

"What do you need?"

"I am finished with all of the tests." She put her book down and logged in to her computer. She clicked several buttons and printed out several sheets of paper and handed then to Kurt.

"Congratulations take these to the office." She closed her computer and grabbed her book. Kurt left the room puzzled and found his way to the office. He handed the papers to the secretary. She looked at the papers and then did somethings on her computer. She then handed Kurt a piece of paper and said,

"Here is your new class schedule you will start your junior classes tomorrow. Congratulations." Kurt took the paper and left the office. He walked down to the hallway and into the senior commons. He walked over to Blaine's office and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He decided to wait for him. Kurt pulled out his phone and texted Blaine, 'Hey I am in the senior commons. I need to talk to you.' Kurt then noticed the piano in the corner. He placed his backpack on the chair and sat down at the piano. He ran his fingers over the keys. He hadn't played in a few years but he decided to see what he could remember. He began to play. After a few minutes, he began to play 'I wanna hold your hand' by The Beetles. He began to sing. As he sang he began to think of his mom. He began to tear up. Nick, Jeff, Wes, and David stopped outside the senior commons and listened. After a few minutes Blaine walked up and said,

"Why are you guys just standing out here?" Wes pointed to Kurt and Blaine nodded. When Kurt finished the song the five boys clapped and Kurt jumped up.

"Sorry I saw the piano and I thought I was alone." Kurt wiped away a few stray tears. Blaine walked over to him and wrapped him in a hug. Wes walked over and said,

"You have an amazing voice just like Blaine said. You have to join the Warblers." Kurt nodded and smiled Blaine then said,

"I got you message what's up?" Kurt pulled out his class schedule and showed Blaine. Blaine looked at it and noticed that they were all junior classes. Blaine looked at Kurt and said,

"I am sorry for the mix up. I will get things fixed for you."

"No they had me take a test called The Dalton Academy Placement Test. I was in sophomore classes this morning but after the test I am now in junior classes." Blaine thought for a moment then said,

"Okay well that is great news. I spoke to my dad earlier today and your mom's funeral is set for Saturday." Kurt's smile faded and he sat down on one of the couches and began to cry. Blaine set his stuff down and sat next to him. Blaine wrapped Kurt in a hug.

"I miss her so much. I still can't believe she is gone." Kurt said through sobs. Wes ushered the other three out of the room. Jeff then said,

" I feel bad for him I wish that there was something that we could do to make him fell better." The other three though for a moment then Nick said,

"I've got it why not sing him a song. How about 'Keep Holding On' that way he knows we are here for him." Wes quickly texted the other Warblers and soon the all arrived. Wes went into the room and whispered something in Blaine's ear. Blaine nodded. Wes went to the door and let the rest of the Warblers in. They began to sing. Kurt sat up and leaned up against Blaine who held him.

Jeff:

You're not alone

Together we stand

I'll be by your side

You know I'll take your hand

Nick:

And it feels like the end

There's no place to go

So keep holding on

Wes:

Before it's too late

This could all disappear

David:

'Cause you know we'll make it through

We'll make it through

Once the song was over, Kurt smiled a small smile and said,

"Thanks everyone. I miss my mom terribly but because I now have friends it will be easier." Kurt wiped away a few tears.

Everything was going great until Sebastian showed up one day with cookies. He set them down in the senior commons. He then waited for everyone to come in. Soon students began to walk in. Blaine walked in with Kurt. Upon seeing Sebastian, Blaine stopped dead in his tracks.

"Sebastian good to see you! What are you doing here?"

"Well I came to check in on my favorite glee club and I came to see you!" Blaine cleared his throat & said,

"Sebastian let's go talk in my office." Blaine kissed Kurt on the cheek. Kurt went over and sat down on the couch. Chandler came over and sat down next to him.

"Want a cookie Kurt?" Chandler asked in a sweet voice.

"What kind?" Kurt asked not wanting to be rude.

"Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter." Chandler said with a smirk.

"I'll take a chocolate chip." Kurt grabbed one and took a bite. Jeff quickly swallowed his bite and screamed, "No!" but it was too late. Kurt had already swallowed the bite of the chocolate chip peanut butter cookie. As Kurt began to swallow little bits, he noticed that his throat began to close up. He began to have trouble breathing.

In Blaine's office Blaine sat down in his chair and turned to face Sebastian.

"What are you really doing here?"

"I already told you why I am here Blainey." Sebastian said as he walked over and ran his fingers down Blaine's arm. Blaine pulled his arm away.

"Look while I appreciate the flirting Kurt and I are happily married."

"Yes, but can he give you what you need? Can he take care of you?" Blaine stood up from his chair, walked towards the door and said,

"Yes, Sebastian he can and he does now please leave." Blaine gestured towards the door. Sebastian rounded the desk and slowly walked towards the door. Upon reaching the door Sebastian tried to kiss Blaine. Blaine moved out of the way and said, "I am not interested!" Just then they heard Jeff scream. Blaine opened the door and ran out to find Kurt having a severe allergic reaction. He was in anaphylactic shock. He had his hands on his throat. Blaine ran over and grabbed Kurt's bag. He found his Epi-pen. He removed the cap and pressed it into Kurt's thigh. He pressed the button to release the meds and counted to ten. Blaine removed the epi-pen and messaged Kurt's thigh. Seeing that Kurt's throat was not opening up, he pulled out his phone and called '911'. The ambulance arrived shortly Kurt was immediately given a shot of epinephrine and placed on oxygen. He was then put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Blaine didn't say a word as Kurt was wheeled from the room. When he was gone, Blaine turned around to face the Warblers. He slowly walked over to them and said,

"What the hell happened? Someone had better explain this to me now!" For about a minute no one spoke. Then Jeff spoke up,

"Kurt ate one of the Chocolate Chip Peanut butter cookies."

"Why would he eat one when he knows he is severely allergic to peanut butter?" Blaine asked very confused. Nick not wanting Jeff to get hurt glared at Chandler before saying,

"He was told that there were two types of cookies Chocolate chip and Peanut butter, not one type." Blaine following Nick glare said,

"Chandler we will talk later." With that Blaine grabbed his jacket, and bag and left the senior commons. He walked to his car and drove to the hospital. When he arrived, he walked to the desk and said,

"Hello Sarah what room is Kurt Hummel-Anderson in?" She looked in her computer and said,

"Hey Blaine he is in room 205." Blaine thanked her and went to Kurt's room. When he arrived, Kurt was hooked up to an IV and on oxygen. Blaine set his stuff down and grabbed Kurt's hand pulling up a chair.

Meanwhile, Carol was reading the paper and saw an obituary. She read it out loud.

"Hey Burt listen to this, 'Local school teacher Elisabeth Hummel loses her battle with cancer. She leaves behind her only son Kurt.'" Burt walked over and read the article over Carol's shoulder. She then said, "Wasn't your ex-wife's name Elisabeth?" Burt nodded and said,

"Yes, and our sons' name is Kurt. Let's see he would be almost 17 by now." Carol turned around and looked at her husband. She then said,

"Do you regret not knowing Kurt?"

"Yes, but Elisabeth made it clear that I wasn't allowed in his life. I wonder where he is now."

"Well why don't we look for him. Maybe he is looking for you. We can try and find him." Carol suggested. Burt nodded and took a sip of his coffee.

Clark was going through some of Elisabeth's things and he found an envelope addressed to him. Clark opened the envelope and found two letters one with his name and one with Kurt's name. He opened the letter addressed to him. It read,

Dear Clark,

If you are reading this then I have finally lost my fight with cancer. There is a letter here for Kurt. It explains about his father. I never had the heart to tell him about Burt and what he did so I wrote it down. I just hope that he understands. Please keep my baby safe. Thanks for a lifetime of friendship, you made mine better.

Yours Truly,

Lissie

Clark wiped away a tear. He put the letter for Kurt on his dresser for him to open when he came home. Just then his phone went off and he saw it was a text from Blaine. It said, 'Kurt accidentally ate a chocolate chip peanut butter  cookie and is in the hospital. He is going to be here overnight for observations so we will be home tomorrow.'

Sebastian called Myriam and this is their conversation.

S: Hey Myriam

M: Hey how did it go?

S: Not to well. He kept pushing me away! He kept saying he is happy with Kurt.

M: Kurt has nothing. He is an orphan and he came from nowhere.

S: Trust me I am not giving up. I will get him back.

M: Good keep up the good work.

End of conversation.
