            Several weeks later, Kurt sat in his bed feeling miserable after having just finished a round of chemo. He might have felt a bit better if it weren’t for the fact that he was alone. Noah had been with him, but after receiving a text message that he had stealthily hidden from the nurse, he had left without explanation. What made it even worse was that today was Kurt’s eighteenth birthday.

            “Happy birthday to me,” Kurt sang under his breathe. He didn’t care that he couldn’t do anything for his birthday, or even that he was in the hospital. He just didn’t want to be alone. He sat there feeling sick and miserable, wishing his dad or Noah would show up, when suddenly the door opened.

            “Happy birthday little bro!” Finn said loudly as he walked in, followed by Noah, their parents, and the entire Glee Club.

            “Happy birthday babe!” Noah exclaimed, hugging his boyfriend.

            “You guys,” Kurt said, “This is amazing.”

            “Well, we didn’t want you stuck here by yourself on your birthday,” Rachel said.

            “Thanks guys,” Kurt said, looking around at them all.

            “I can’t believe you’re eighteen,” Burt said as he sat down.

            “I can hardly believe it myself dad,” Kurt joked. His family and friends all laughed and they spend the next several hours talking. Kurt was the best time he’s had in a long time, but eventually the Glee Club had to leave.

            “Bye Kurt,” Quinn said, hugging him.

            “See you later,” Sam said. The Club waved as they walked out the door and Kurt smiled.

            “You enjoy that?” Burt asked, happy to see his son smiling so much.

            “Yeah dad,” Kurt said, “That was amazing.”

            “Well, we have something else we think you’re going to like,” Carole said, pulling a picture out of her purse and handing it to him. Kurt stared at the sonogram picture in awe; this was his little brother of sister.

            “Can you tell what it is yet?” he asked.

            “Not yet,” Carole said, “A few more weeks and then we’ll know.”

            “Excuse me,” a nurse said, poking her head in the door, “Visiting hours are over s only one of you can stay now.”

            “Alright, Puckerman, you want to stay?” Burt asked as he stood.

            “Yeah, please Mr. H.,” Noah said. Burt hugged his son tightly and then stepped aside so Carole and Finn could do the same.

            “Happy birthday sweetheart,” Carole said quietly.

            “We’ll see you tomorrow dude,” Finn said and then looked at Noah smirking. Kurt glanced between the two of them, confused by the interaction.

            “We’ll see you later Kurt,” Burt said, with one last wave to his son.      

            “Bye guys,” Kurt waved as they left.

            “Looks like it’s just us,” Noah said, smiling at the shorter boy.
