Kurt, Aiden and a clean bill of health were able to leave the hospital after four days. Blaine had been there as long as visiting hours could permit and they had visits from Burt, Carole, Rachel, Finn, and some work friends of theirs during the visit as well. Burt and Carole had stayed for a week to help settle them in, and it was the end of their first week without anyone to help them. To say it was overwhelming may be an understatement – Aiden was pooping and feeding around the clock and the men just wanted a moment of peace. Blaine had been up for the night shift and was sleeping while Kurt was sitting with Aiden just after nine in the morning, who was happily playing with Kurt’s fingers.
“Who is visiting us?” Kurt grumbled exhaustedly cradling the small boy in his arm and opening the door.
“Julia?” Kurt said, suddenly realising he was in sweat pants and Blaine’s Dalton hooded jumper (Kurt stole it in high school from him one day and loved it so much he never returned it) that had Aiden’s spit up on it.
“You look just like the father of a two week old.” She said, as Kurt let the woman who resembled Blaine inside the house.
“I’m sorry it’s a mess,” Kurt said quickly tidying everything in his vision after handing the small boy to her. “Aiden was up around the clock.”
“Aiden looks just like Blaine,” The woman smiled at the small boy and then at Kurt. “He is precious.”
“That is a popular opinion.” Kurt smiled as the woman handed Kurt the boy who fell asleep instantly in her arms.
“Is Blaine here?” She asked, seeing the bedroom door was closed. “Sleeping?”
“Mum?” Blaine opened the door, yawning. “What – what are you doing here?”
“Is it okay if I speak to you two a minute?” She said as Kurt checked the boy one more time and they went into the boy’s room.
“Where is dad?” Blaine asked. “Is something going on? Cooper called yesterday, and he said something happened between you and dad.”
“Another fight broke out in the house,” The older woman explained. “We wanted to tell you and Cooper in person.”
“Tell us what?” Blaine was now sitting on the bed.
“Your father and I are getting a divorce.” She said, looking at Blaine.
“But why?” Blaine said eventually.
“Blaine,” She said as Kurt left the room to check on the small boy. “You know your father and I haven’t been okay in years. We haven’t slept in the same bed for almost ten years now – and we can’t lie anymore.”
“Why did you lie all those years then?” Blaine asked seriously.
“For Cooper and you,” She responded truthfully. “We knew how important it was for you two to have us together while you were growing up.”
“Are you okay?” Blaine asked the woman.
“I am Blaine,” She put his arm around the shorter man’s shoulder. “I’ll get an apartment and I’ll see you boys as much as I can.”
“And dad?” Blaine was now realising what was happening.
“He’s your dad,” She responded. “He has the house and all our country club friends.”
“How long are you in New York?” Kurt had re-entered the room.
“I have a hotel and I thought I might spend some time with you two and Aiden.” She responded.
“Nonsense,” Kurt smiled. “We have a spare room here.”
“Absolutely,” Blaine nodded and looked at Kurt. “As long as you need.”
The boys realised how much of a blessing Julia was after that first day. She kept their place clean, and took Aiden for a walk in his stroller so the men could have a shower and a small nap – which was becoming a privilege. That night, Kurt and Blaine were sitting in the lounge room alone. Aiden was sleeping in his bassinette in the corner of the room.
“You got some pretty big news,” Kurt came in the room with two teas. “You okay?”
“I’m okay,” Blaine paused. “Mum and Dad haven’t loved each other in ages and this is kind of inevitable. But I kind of thought I was passed the parents divorcing phase. But I guess I can get them staying together for me and Cooper. I couldn’t imagine doing that to Aiden.”
“Me either.” Kurt looked at the bassinette.
“You promise not to leave me?” Blaine asked.
“I promise,” Kurt said, pulling the man into his embrace. “I am never saying goodbye to you. I lost you once and I swore I never would again.”

oh wow! the memories. what blaine and his parents are going through is exactly what me and my brother and my parents went through. mom stuck around in an unhappy marriage for 10 years just for our sake. and i thought they were also past the "parents divorcing phase" cuz they had been married for 21 years. i gotta ask–is blaine happy (as is wanting to celebrate) that his parents are getting divorced? cuz i know that when my parents told us they were getting divorced, it was the HAPPIEST day of my life.
Aww <3
Ahhh you are killing me with this cheating and now this"I lost you once and I swore I never would again.":/
