woman_or_a_girl, nickthewarbler and warble_on_jeff - guys, I kind of need to talk to you. It's important.

Hanging with my bros - with rockstarwarbler, justbeingaqueen, finninator, justwants2dance, jewhawk, showingnuttage, warble_on_jeff, nickthewarbler at Mount Sinai Medical Center

It's seriously been two weeks since I got laid O.O

At the hospital with Kurt... I've missed him. ♥

Thanking God that so many of our friends are in New York... This waiting room would be a hundred times more miserable alone.

Girl, I gotta talk to you.

Feeling like a human again, touch wood. Going to Blainers-sit for a few hours.

I need to talk to you when you have a chance, Nick. It's kind of important.

Rating: Language possible, but otherwise should be fine

Quinn couldn't have been more relieved. The only thing she could say she would've wished for was actually knowing before she'd already told people and made things hard and awkward between herself and several people she cared very deeply about and held very dear to her heart. Yet, in this particular moment, the most she could do was experience the relief that she wasn't pregnant, and the worry she felt for Lucas.

She'd left the hospital in a rush and headed straight over to Lucas place, where she'd gotten onto the hall, and then into the suite part of his dorm room with the help of one of his roommates, whom she ran into in the lobby area.

She stood outside his bedroom door for just a moment before lifting her hand and knocking gently. "Lucas, it's me... Are you okay?"

It was all very spur of the moment, but Kurt was pretty sure he needed this Girls Night In more than anything right now. Quinn and Mercedes had been the only ones available, which was okay. It was enough. More than. The night before had been a tough road, and it had been hard watching Blaine's struggle with the situation reach a peak, and a very angry and resonant one at that. It was probably always bound to happen, though. Blaine had been making noises about feeling like an inadequate and useless husband for days now since Kurt's condition weakened with this second round of chemo. Kurt just never expected it to explode so quickly. It was the first time he had ever heard Blaine yell at Burt, and it sent Kurt reeling to witness.

But Blaine was asleep now, thanks to some sedatives from Andy, and it was a deep and undisturbed sleep, which was all Kurt was worried about. It was Carole who suggested Kurt have some time with the girls and arranged for Quinn and Mercedes to be there to 'Kurtsit' him with Blaine's knowledge so Blaine would even take the damn pills. His husband bitchclaws were out all Wolverine style, and Kurt did understand, but he was still for the fact Blaine needed to lighten his load and hand over the reigns with some of the less important stuff.

Now Kurt was sat in the middle seat of the sofa, and he looked up at Quinn in amusement as she tucked his blankets all neatly around his legs and stomach, and then went on to fluff his pillows he was resting against. He had been so sick the last 3-4 days that is was showing physically. He knew he looked like hell, he even ignored mirrors, but at least he was in okay enough spirits. Except when the symptoms took their toll and he just wanted to cry. Mercedes handed him a small bowl of jello and ice cream, even putting the spoon in his hand, and that was when he cut in. "Okay, okay, okay... if either of you offer to hold my dick to pee, I'm seriously going to have to draw the line."

When? Sunday morning
Where? Mt. Sinai Hospital
Rating: PG-13 to R

Visits to this hospital were getting to be way too common for Quinn, and honestly, if she walked out today and never came back inside again, she wouldn't have minded. No offense meant to Andrew or any of the other people who worked here and did such a great job taking care of Quinn's various and sundry friends who kept ending up sick or injured. But she was sick and tired of said sicknesses and injuries occurring.

She'd texted Andrew to let him know she was on her way, and when she entered the hospital, she took a seat in the ER waiting room, shooting off another quick text to Andrew to let him know she was here.

God, she had a lot to think about. What was she going to do? Keep the baby and lose everyone else? Blaine and Kurt didn't need the added stress of a baby in their house right now of all times. Lucas had made it very clear how he felt about the situation, and as much as Quinn wanted to be angry and tell him what a jerk he was, she couldn't blame him for how he felt. She didn't really want a baby either. And then there was Nick and Jeff. Nick would be an incredible dad, but this wasn't how it was supposed to go at all. If he wanted kids, and he and Jeff got down the road and decided they were ready, they should have the chance to have them on their own time. Not in this rushed, unexpected way.

She was shaken from her thoughts when she spotted Andrew across the room walking toward her, and forced a small smile at him. "Hi there, handsome," she said jokingly. "How's my favorite newly engaged doctor?"

Nick needed to know what was going on. Quinn knew that. Especially given that he and Lucas were friends, and if Lucas was acting weird toward Nick, he'd want to know why. It wasn't fair to keep it from him when he might very well be the father.

Her mind was still racing with the events of the past few days. Lucas's response had been difficult to deal with, though Quinn knew deep down, it made sense. Lucas was ambitious and fun-loving and dedicated to school and to getting to be a lawyer. Why on earth would he want something like this to hold him back? Especially when, at this point, he couldn't even be sure it was his problem.

As Quinn walked into the apartment from the market, she dropped her shoes and purse at the door, walking toward the kitchen with her groceries, and nearly bumped into Nick coming out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. Jeff wasn't with him, which, these days, was a bit of a rarity, so Quinn took advantage of the moment. "Hey, Nick? If you're not busy right now, there's something I kind of need to talk with you about."

When: Wednesday night
Rating: PG, but some painful imagery

Blaine would have been relieved that day was nearly over if it didn't mean he had a hell of long night ahead of him. Chemo that day had been bad. Kurt was in so much pain and spent most of the session in tears and telling Blaine he just wanted it to stop. That, coupled with the song Kurt had posted to Facebook a couple of days ago, Blaine was just a mess inside. He was managing to keep it together on the outside, but he was feeling like his grasp on his emotions was hanging by a thread. The more weak and sick Kurt became, the more scared Blaine got that he was going to slip away from him.

The second round of chemo started okay. It was dragging tiredness that was seeping into every portion of Kurt's body and by the end of the first day, he needed help with literally everything. All he wanted to was lie in bed and not move, leading to Blaine needing to feed him a small bowl of chicken soup just to get some sustenance into him. It didn't stay down long, though, and a short while later, it was jello that was the next offering with Kurt barely awake as he got a few mouthfuls into him. All around him, Blaine had offers of help. Burt, Carole, Finn, Quinn, Nick, Jeff, Mercedes... the list went on. He wanted to do most of Kurt's hands-on nursing himself, though, no matter how much more hard it was getting this time. Kurt was his husband, and this was his job, and he only took the help when he absolutely needed it.

( Blaine was lying next to Kurt on their bed, his head propped up on one hand as he watched Kurt doze, and his other rubbing soft, soothing circles over a strip of exposed skin at Kurt's tummy... )

Where: Hummel-Anderson-Fabray Pad
When: Monday night
Rating: Likely swearing

Lucas wasn't really sure what Quinn needed to talk about, but he generally wasn't the sort of guy to dwell on stuff or worry about things until the problem was there in his face. He didn't see the point, and he would rather sink his energy into other things. He was back to college after the short break in a few days anyway, and he had a placement for practical in a few weeks. He had a lot of work coming up on his plate, so that was where he was mostly focusing right now. He had never expected to hook up, that had just been a spontaneous thing that was working so far. At least, that was, if she wasn't about to tell him it wasn't working.

But the situation was still as it was, and as he sat on the sofa waiting for Quinn to come back in with coffee, he could heart Kurt in the distance up the hall throwing up and it was enough to keep a guy sober. Maybe things really were just too hard overall right now? Or was that when you were supposed to rally around? When Quinn came back, he pressed his lips together wryly. "I guess no matter how hard you try, that's not really something you get used to, huh?" he murmured sympathetically and nodded to the door out to the hall. Seriously, if she wanted to tell him this wasn't working, he wasn't going to hold it against her, all things considered.

PART TWO

It was stupid, really. Blaine was exictedly nervous about this moment as he stood up on the rooftop garden waiting for Kurt. It was cold and everyone was rugged up in coats, but some opened at the top to reveal their t-shirts with pride. It looked so, so beautiful. There was a garden arch that the girls had threaded twinkling fairy lights all over with some more fresh roses tucked in here and there, and the whole small area was lined with rows of candles in little glass jars. No other decoration was needed, the lights gave off a romantic glow and they all stood gathered around for the short wait until Kurt changed and made it up to the roof. Blaine turned to Puck, flashing him a grin as he let out a long, shaky breath to compose himself, giving his hands a shake to try and keep them warm. Puck, who had his guitar hanging over his shoulder, held his hand up for a bro fist-bump of encouragement and Blaine returned it gratefully before he pulled Puck into a spontaneous smoosh hug anyway, clinging to him for just a few moments.

( This was bigger than just confirming their vows to make it legal in New York... )

PART ONE

"I have a confession," Blaine began as he leaned over Kurt lying on the sofa and adjusted the soft blanket over his knees. Once Kurt was adequately untwisted again, Blaine knelt down beside him and held a little wrapped box out on his palm. "I have one more present for you."

All Kurt was seeing was turquiose wrapping with white ribbon, and he knew exactly what that meant. He looked up from the box to Blaine's face with a small, exasperated sigh. "Blaine, don't you think we've already gone just a little bit overboard with the presents already?" he pointed out with a wave of his hand around the room that was covered with piles of presents for all the people who had been sharing Christmas with them. And there were a lot. They had a lot of bodies squished into that apartment that day, but it had been nice to be surrounded by the chaos, even if Kurt had spent most of the day in bed asleep. He was up (reluctantly) really early with everyone else for the present opening and Blaine dressed like an elf to hand out the billion presents shoved in a messy pile under the tree and spilling out over the floor, but the excitement had to come in short bursts and he was crawling back into bed a little while later when everyone else moved on to have Lucky Charms for breakfast. He slept most of the day, right through the Christmas lunch, but got up a little while ago to move from the bed to the sofa so he could spend time with his family and friends.

Deja vu. That was all Quinn could think of as she stood in the market on the medical aisle, looking at box after box of pregnancy tests. Some were marked easiest to use, others were supposed to tell you sooner, and still others were supposed to be the most accurate, but Quinn really couldn't have cared less which was which. She just needed to know if she was pregnant. Then, if she was, that would be a whole different issue entirely. An issue called "Who's the baby daddy?"

Oh, God, she was a slut. Just like all the sluts on Maury who didn't know who their baby daddy was... Who found out, and were crushed, because it wasn't who they wanted. Even if she wasn't pregnant, she would still be one of those girls.

What if she was, and it was Nick's instead of Lucas's? She was finally with a guy she really liked, and what would it do to him for her to be carrying another guy's baby? Or, what if it was his, and he freaked out because he wasn't ready? Or...

All the what ifs were running through Quinn's mind so quickly she couldn't make heads or tails of them, and if she didn't shut them up quickly, she'd probably find herself in a sobbing snotty pile on the floor. With a determined motion, she snatched a box off the shelf, glancing over it quickly. It claimed to be accurate and easy to use, and that worked for her.

Paying for the item without looking at the salesgirl, Quinn shoved it to the bottom of her Burberry purse and started off to Mercedes's place. It took her a moment to get her nerve up to ring the doorbell, because each step was a step toward knowing for sure, and if she was? That was a terrifying thought in and of itself.

Finally, she hit the buzzer for Mercedes's apartment and said into the speaker, "'Cedes? Buzz me up?"

It felt ridiculously high school to her, but Quinn changed her outfit roughly five times before she settled on something she liked and was comfortable with wearing. It wasn't by any means the most glamourous thing she owned, but she wore a cute sweater dress with leggings and her favorite pair of boots. She'd done her makeup the best she could, but even the best makeup couldn't cover the dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep.

She was actually excited about this, whether it was a date or just friends going out to dinner... Despite her best efforts, she found that she really enjoyed Lucas's company. He was a sweet guy, if a ladies' man, and she couldn't help liking him.

Granted, there was the question of certain monthly occurances that had not yet occurred, but Quinn was forcing herself not to panic just yet... Not until she knew something for sure. She didn't want anything between her and Lucas tonight to be based on nervousness or worry. She just wanted to go out for a while and forget that things were bad, and just enjoy being with someone who could make her smile.

When the door buzzer rang, Quinn checked herself in the mirror one more time... Not half bad for someone who was almost entirely exhausted... and made her way to the door, opening it to find Lucas on the other side. "Hi..." she said with a smile.

( Grabbing her purse and making sure she had her keys and cell, she headed out the door... )

Granted, there was the question of certain monthly occurances that had not yet occurred, but Quinn was forcing herself not to panic just yet... Not until she knew something for sure. She didn't want anything between her and Lucas tonight to be based on nervousness or worry. She just wanted to go out for a while and forget that things were bad, and just enjoy being with someone who could make her smile.

When the door buzzer rang, Quinn checked herself in the mirror one more time... Not half bad for someone who was almost entirely exhausted... and made her way to the door, opening it to find Lucas on the other side. "Hi..." she said with a smile.

( Grabbing her purse and making sure she had her keys and cell, she headed out the door... )

Hey, sweetie... I didn't want to bother you while Kurt was sleeping, but I wanted to let you know I'm going out to dinner tonight. Do you need me to pick up anything or do anything while I'm out?

'Cedes, I need you...

God, I hate this...

Going to light a candle today. Can't remember the last time I was in a church.

Mercedes kept to her word and showed up on the dot to Kurt, Quinn and Blaine's home, arms laden with grocery bags full of organic produce to make soup and chocolate brownies with ice cream for dessert. Really, the cooking was just a ruse. She wanted to help, sure, but she knew they all needed to be rallying around together right now. At least she could kill two birds with one stone that one. And now that the soup was well and truly on the go, simmering on the stove, Mercedes washed her hands and then went over to sit across from Quinn at the kitchen table.

She gave her a close, analysing look, checking her over to see her face. All the pain, worry, and tiredness showed there. Just like it had on Blaine's face when he answered the door to her before retreating back to his bedroom to curl up with a sleeping Kurt again. Apparently Nick was somewhere in the yonder of the apartment doing the same, which gave Mercedes and Quinn some much needed girl time. And overdue at that. "Okay, girl, spill," she said, her tone non-nonsense and matter of fact, as it always was in her true Mercedes Jones unique style.

My last final is on Friday. Thank God. It's time for some downtime to process through a lot of things... And some quality time with my nearest and dearest.

Have you found out yet how you did on your exam?

How are you holding up, girlfriend? I'm coming over soon, and I'm gonna cook y'all dinner. No arguments. Nick and Jeff still there? I need to know how much to buy. We can have some girl time while I make it.

Missed my alarm. Shit. I gotta make it to class. Don't subways go any faster?
