What: Promised introductions
Where: Oncology Ward, Mount Sinai Hospital
When: Simultaneous to THIS
Rating: Could be swearing
They had just started dating, but Abigail couldn't deny the fact that recent events had made it difficult for her and Pete to really get much of a momentum on things. At the closure of their first date, they had at least agreed there should be a second, so that was something. But then Andrew went and sent the shit hitting the fan in his life, and because he was her twin, Abigail dropped all her own priorities to make sure he was taken care of. Between the time she discovered him trashed in the wake of breaking up with Sam and when she drove him to New Jersey to stay a couple of days with their parents to dry out a little, Abigail had spent every moment not at work trying to peel Andrew up from his ball of misery he had sunk into so dating had to well and truly take a backseat.
But Andrew was back from Jersey now after three days sick leave and he was heading onto a nightshift after swapping the evening so Abi could go to an AA meeting with him. He was more subdued coming back from Jersey, and not saying a whole lot, but he did swear to her he was going to do with it took to fight this again. She knew he was still miserable, missing Sam and lonely, but work was the best distraction for him. He didn't speak at the AA meeting, so it was probably going to even take some time there for him to pick himself up. As soon as she knew he was heading back to work, though, Abi called Pete and arranged for him to meet her at the Oncology ward so she could - as promised - introduce him to Kurt so he could try to wrap his head around what Sebastian was struggling with seeing.
She smiled as she saw Pete coming up the corridor of the ward where she was leaning against the wall across from Kurt's room waiting for him to arrive. She touched his arm gently when he came looking understandably worried about this. "It will be okay. Just remember, under the exterior, it's still Kurt and he's a lovely guy. You'll see. I promise." With a nod for emphasis, she led him over to Kurt's room and softly knocked on the door. Blaine was asleep in the recliner chair beside Kurt's bed, his hand wrapped around Kurt's as he slept, while Kurt was just lying there watching his husband sleep. He looked so weak, pale and fragile wrapped up in a chenille blanket Blaine had brought for him from home and ski hat covering his bare head. "Kurt, honey? There's someone I just wanted you to meet, if that's okay. This is Pete... he's Sebastian's oldest brother."
