Three Times The Hummel Verse

Prologue

Burt Hummel was overjoyed. He was having triplets. Elizabeth had gone into labor about an hour ago and it was only a matter of time until his children were brought into the world. They had decided that they didn't want to know the genders of the babies because just having children was a blessing in itself. The surprise of learning the genders when they were born was just a cherry on top of the whole situation.

Another hour later and a baby boy was brought into the world. They decided to name him Christopher Paul Hummel. After a couple more minutes, another boy was crying. This boy was named Kurt Elijah Hummel. Finally, the third baby was born. A little boy named Carson Jay Hummel.

Burt looked down at his new family lying in Elizabeth's arms, and noticed that the three boys were completely identical. From their eyes, to their noses, to their hair color, to their size.

"They're beautiful." Burt said with tears in his eyes. "But how in the world will we ever tell them apart?"

Elizabeth smiled up at her husband and handed him Kurt to hold. "It'll be difficult at first." she started, looking at the two boys in her arms. "But as they get older and develop personalities, I have a feeling it will be very easy. I know they are all very different at heart."

Though Elizabeth had said that as an offhand, she couldn't have been more correct. When they took the boys home for the first time, each boy reacted to the new environment differently. Chris was excited about everything. As he got older, he just wanted to touch and see anything that was in reach and he could get his hands on. Kurt on the other hand was shy. He would always follow behind his brothers like he wanted to be protected. He would cry if he was left alone for a long period of time and he preferred to be around things that were familiar to him. Meanwhile, Carson didn't really care about anything. Nothing surprised or scared him as a baby, and the best he could be described as was unmoved by the world.

When the boys were in kindergarten, their personalities soared and became even more noticeable. Once he learned to read and write, it was discovered that Carson loved to write and make up stories. After school he would sit at the kitchen table for hours just writing out the stories in his head so he could share them at dinner.

Chris enjoyed watching TV, but not like the other kids his age. He liked watching the actors and how they reacted in the shows they were on. After watching a show or a movie he would constantly repeat his favorite lines and phrases for whoever would listen.

Compared to Carson and Chris, Kurt stood out like a sore thumb. While they were all completely identical, Kurt liked more glamourous clothes. He was often found going through Elizabeth's closet and he loved to help her decide what make-up to wear. He was also an altogether softer person than the other two. He loved having tea parties in his room with Elizabeth and was very picky on what he ate.

Burt became a little concerned about what Kurt's behavior meant but when he voiced his opinion to Elizabeth he felt guilty for worrying. She had said not to worry about it because it didn't matter who any of the boys grew up to be. They would still be loved unconditionally and completely.

Elizabeth got sick around the boy's eighth birthday. She remained sick for a couple months before she died. Her funeral was beautiful, with all her friends and family gathered to share fond memories and stories. Burt sat in the front of the church, with his three sons surrounding him.

Things changed after that. But the boys continued to grow older, and their stories continued.
