Kurt left early Blaine’s apartment early in the morning, he grabbed a taxi to the theatre making it just as the caretaker was there to open up. 

“Hey Kurt, your here early.” The old man said as he unlocked the backstage door. 

“Yeah well actually I need your help for something.” Kurt said as he jogged on the spot. 

“What is it son?” The caretaker said as he walked in and switched on the lights inside.

“I need to see the CCTV if that’s ok.” Kurt said as he followed the guy in. 

“Whatever for?” 

“Well you know what happened to Blaine right?” Kurt said as they both stopped and looked at each other. 

“Of course poor lad I do hope his ok.” 

“His fine just a few cuts and bruises, anyways his attacker is now calming that Blaine beat him up so I need the tape to prove his innocence.” Kurt said holding his own hands and hoping he would get them. The caretaker carried on walking again before they finally came to a door. The caretaker unlocked it and let Kurt walk in first. 

“You will have to wait for the security guy to come. So just wait here.”

 

Blaine woke up, his whole body was aching, he held his stomach as he got out of bed. He walked out to the living area to find the Rachel sitting and staring into a little carrier bag. 

“Are you ok?” Blaine said as he sat down next to her. 

“I...I...” Rachel said still looking into the bag. 

“What’s in there?” Blaine said as he went to grab the bag off Rachel but she quickly moved it. 

“What if? I can’t not now.”

“Rachel, take a deep breath and then tell me what you are on about ok.” Blaine said as Rachel nodded before taking a breath. She slowly handed Blaine the bag. He placed his hand inside to find a box inside. He slowly pulled it out.

“Rachel, you’re pregnant?” Blaine said as he read the words on the box. 

“I don’t know. I think I am, I mean I have all the signs and all” 

“Tom’s?” 

“Yes”

“Did he? You know?” 

“No...  I mean at the time even though I hated him, I don’t know I still wanted to, I think I was just lonely and sad and but when I woke up the next day I hated myself for what I did. Why am I such a fool?” Rachel said as she fell onto Blaine’s shoulder and started to cry. Blaine grabbed her face and looked at her. 

“Don’t worry everything is going to be ok I promise. Now go and do this ok. I’ll be out here.”

 

Kurt spent the early morning with the security guard watching the tapes from the day before. Finally they found the right tape and played it. 

“Is there any way you can make a copy of this?” Asked Kurt as he watched the action on the monitor. 

“Yep sure.” Said the guy as he pulled out a blank disk. Kurt looked at the other monitor and saw on that one of the cameras were set up outside, the way Tom would have had to leave. 

“Hey is there any chance we can look at the video from this?” Kurt said pointing at the monitor. The guard moved over and pulled the tape out and got it ready to play. Kurt got himself ready to watch it. They fast-forward until they see Tom walking in, then they fast-forward again and see him reappear. 

“There he is. Wait what is he doing?” Kurt said as he walked closer to the screen. That is Tom wait did he just run into the wall? And again? 

“No way” Kurt said to himself as he watched Tom on the screen beat himself up.

 

“Rachel?” Blaine said through the bathroom door. Suddenly the door opened and she walked out holding a little white stick. 

“3 minutes” Rachel said as she placed it back down on the counter in the bathroom. Blaine grabbed her hand as they sat down on the bed. Blaine’s phone started to ring, he took a peak at the screen and saw it was Kurt. He looked at Rachel who nodded to say he could answer.

“Hey Kurt where are you?.....Wait he did what....you have the tapes.....” Blaine said as Rachel listened on. Blaine put his phone down for a second to tell her the news. 

“Kurt’s got the tapes, turns out Tom beat himself up to make it look like I did it. It’s all on camera.” Blaine said as Rachel suddenly grabbed the phone. 

“Kurt I...will you be going back?” Rachel said as she waited for an answer. Rachel then handed the phone back to Blaine. 

“His on his way.” Blaine said as he put his arm around Rachel. He looked at his watch 6:45am already, it was too early for anything. He took a look at his watch and they both knew it was time. Rachel got up with Blaine leading holding onto her hand. 

“You ready?” Blaine asked as he stopped in front of her blocking her path. 

“Yeah I need to see.” Rachel said as Blaine let go of her hand as he used it to pick up the stick behind him. He moved it in front of them, they both looked down. 

“Yes not pregnant” Rachel cried as floods of happy tears ran down her face. She hugged Blaine who twirled her around. 

“I told you it would be ok.” Blaine said as he kissed her cheek.

 

Kurt arrived back at Blaine’s apartment got to the door and knocked. He was greeted by Rachel who hugged him and pulled him in. 

“Did I miss something?” Kurt said as he watched her skip over to the sofa. 

“Umm you would need to talk to Rach about that anyways you got the recordings right?” Blaine asked as Kurt handed him the discs as he headed to his room. 

“Rachel are you ok?” Kurt said as he sat down next to her. 

“I...I..Well you know how that I stayed at Tom’s when you wouldn’t talk to me.” 

“Yes” 

“Well I kind of umm...” 

“You kind of what?” 

“I..I thought I was pregnant” Rachel said as she watched Kurt go into shock. 

“You’re pregnant?” A shocked Kurt said.

“No no. I just took a test.” 

“Did he?”

“No”

“You wanted to?”

“Yes and I know it was a stupid mistake I was a mess.”

“But Finn, Rachel? I could understand you stayed the night in his apartment since you didn’t have anywhere else to stay but to sleep with him. You cheated on my brother.” Kurt got up and walked over to the window. 

“Finn and I are...” Rachel shouted to him as he turned around. 

“What?”

“We broke up.” Rachel said as she sat back down and put her head in her hands. 

“When did this happen?” Kurt said as he sat back down next to her. 

“A few months ago, he said he didn’t want me to worry about him in the army.” 

“How come you didn’t tell me? How come he didn’t?” Kurt said as he pulled Rachel into a hug. 

“I don’t know we just decided not to. Kurt I’ve been such an idiot.”

“I’m sorry for shouting at you, it must have been hard for you earlier thinking you were you know.” Said Kurt. 

“It’s ok I expected you to be mad, I’m mad at myself.” 

“Just so you know I think you will be an excellent Mom one day” Said Blaine walking out of the bedroom with the discs now dressed ready for rehearsals making the other two jump.  Blaine walked behind Kurt and bent down and kissed the top of his head before Kurt let go of Rachel grabbing onto Blaine’s hair and pulling him down to kiss him. Rachel just laughed as she wiped her eyes. 

“OK so I will meet you at the theatre I just have to meet my agent to drop him these discs.” Blaine said as he grabbed a jacket. 

“What will happen with Tom?” Asked Rachel. 

“Well if his gone to the police with this then I will give them the discs and he’ll be done with wasting their time but I really don’t know.” Said Blaine as he sat himself on Kurt’s lap. 

“So this isn’t over?” Asked Kurt. 

“Well you said his father is this casting agent right well I think I may pay Daddy a little visit to tell him what his sons been up to.” Said Blaine holding up the discs. 

“You know him?” Asked Rachel

“I did my research and turns out his a good friend of mine now Kurt remember how I told you that about the guy who casted me for my show TV show and then on Broadway?.” Blaine said. 

“Yeah” Said Kurt. 

“Turns out his Tom’s dad. I should have known this sooner but turns out he split with his mother when he was little so that’s how I never meet him he lived with her, Tom has a different surname.” 

“Wait what?” Said Kurt. 

“I’m paying him a visit today just a catch up but I may tell him what his sons been up to.” 

“We live in a very small world” Said Rachel who couldn’t believe what she was just hearing. 

“Very small, anyways off to hand these in.” Blaine got up and kissed Kurt for one last time and then kissed Rachel’s cheek before throwing Kurt a pair of keys. 

“You’ll need these if you’re moving in with me.” Blaine winked as he let himself out.
