Kurt could feel a small body crawling on top of him and he opened his eyes to a mess of curls, hazel eyes and even though he was now missing teeth, a smile that was Kurt’s. The man in his thirties looked to the alarm clock and tapped Blaine before the man opened his eyes.

“Aiden, I’ll meet you in your room,” Kurt said lifting the five year old off his bed and Blaine turned to Kurt. “He has school today.”

“Really?” Blaine mumbled. “Can he not go to school? He is too little for school, right?”

“Come on Blaine.” Kurt laughed as the man got out of bed.

Eliza was now one and a half and was walking and talking all the time. The small girl had hair that was not as curly as Blaine’s or Aiden’s, but was very wavy and sat neatly on her face. She had big blue eyes that stood out like Kurt’s and Blaine’s smile. Kurt had placed her in her high chair and Blaine was talking to her while Kurt got Aiden dressed.

“I wanna go school!” Eliza whined.

“No way,” Blaine mumbled to himself. “Aiden is more than enough for one day.”

“Why A-D go school and not me?” Eliza cocked her head to one side and was looking at the shorter man. Eliza had got in the habit of calling Aiden A-D because she couldn’t say his name properly yet.

“Because we are going to have fun at home, just you and me.” Blaine smiled as Eliza rolled her eyes in a Kurt like fashion.

They got to the school and Eliza was in her stroller as the boys found Rachel dropping Natalie off for fourth grade. By this point, Aiden was still nervous and hiding behind Kurt. Like Kurt and Blaine had both been at his age, Aiden was very shy around new people.

“Hi Aiden,” Rachel said as the boy smiled at her. “School isn’t that bad.”

Aiden just nodded and was gripping onto Kurt’s hand. Kurt and Blaine walked him with Eliza to his cubby and the boy put his bag on the hanger before his class was called.

“Bye Papa.” The boy hugged the shorter man before he came to Kurt.

“You will okay,” Kurt knelt down to him. “I promise.”

“Pinky Promise?” The boy asked.

“Pinky Promise.” Kurt laughed as Aiden hugged him and walked into the classroom.

They had taken two cars to get there so Kurt could go to work, and Blaine would pick Aiden up in the afternoon. He walked to the classroom with the small girl insisting on holding Blaine’s hand and the boy saw his father waiting for him.

“How was school?” Blaine asked, as the boy just nodded.

“Okay,” Aiden said quietly. “Where is daddy?”

“At work,” Blaine responded. “Did something happen at school?”

Aiden refused to say anything and was dead quiet all afternoon. Blaine could tell something was up. Like Kurt, Aiden had a tendency of trying to stay strong. When Kurt came home, the small boy raced to the taller man and started crying in Kurt’s embrace.

“What happened?” Kurt looked and Blaine who just uttered I have no idea.

The boy continued sobbing until Kurt took him to his room and sat him down on the bed. Aiden had crawled up to Kurt who was patting his back.

“Everyone laughed at me,” Aiden sobbed. “Because I don’t have a mummy and a daddy.”

“Hey,” Kurt responded. “Can I tell you something grandpa told me a long time ago?”

“What?” Aiden asked.

“No one pushes us Hummel’s around,” Kurt said as the boy just raised an eyebrow. “First days at school are always hard sweetie. You will find friends though.”

“How do you know?” Aiden asked.

“Just trust me,” Kurt kissed his forehead. “There will be someone at school who will be friends with you.”
