Before either Kurt or Blaine knew it, both Alex and Dalton were in high school. For a while after the school incident they had been worried about Dalton and though he didn't have many friends, he and the girl who had become Rachel's mini clone, Fanny Hudson, became best friends. Fanny was sleeping over at Kurt and Blaine's on this particular night when the boys had almost finished their freshman year in high school and the two were left alone after Alex went to the movies with his friends. Blaine had got home and was going to let the two know that he was there.

"So you like Ben?" Blaine heard Fanny's voice clear as crystal. "I mean, I can see the appeal. But he is straight."

Blaine's heart was beating at that moment. He knew who Ben was and he had been in Dalton's shoes – when he liked Sam. Blaine went to walk away and he tripped up.

"What was that?" Fanny asked.

"Hopefully Alex," Dalton said quietly opening the door and seeing Blaine swiftly leave. "Hi Papa."

"Oh hi," Blaine turned around. "I was just going to tell you I was home. Do you guys want me to order a pizza?"

The two nodded and Blaine walked off. He figured Dalton would tell them in his own time that he was gay. That night in bed, Blaine had to tell Kurt.

"He said he liked that boy Ben?" Kurt looked at the shorter man. "Doesn't Ben have a – oh god. Do we talk to Dalton?"

"No," Blaine responded. "I think we should leave him until he is ready."

"I guess." Kurt responded.

It was almost six months later that the boy told Kurt and Blaine that he was gay. Both men reminding him of what he already knew - that they would support him.

When the boys finished high school was when Kurt and Blaine really felt the emptiness of their house. Lucky for Kurt, he was busy preparing Sophia's wedding which took up a lot of his spare time. Watching their twenty eight year old go down the aisle brought back so many memories for the men.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked on the night of the wedding in their hotel room.

"I'm fine," Blaine said quietly as Kurt rolled his eyes. "Just watching Sophia today was hard."

"I know," Kurt whispered. "She actually doesn't need us anymore."

"And that doesn't scare you." Blaine responded.

"It scares the living hell out of me," Kurt responded. "But there was a point that we had to let go."

"I guess," Blaine responded. "At least we might get grandchildren."

"Not until I am 50," Kurt looked at Blaine. "So she better hold off kids for two years."
