"Woah! Buddy! I've missed you too!" Burt picked Kurt up in his arms and swung him round, Kurt just breathed in his Dad's musky smell, he had missed his father more than he would ever admit. He let go of his Dad, looking over his father's shoulder at Carole who was stood looking fondly at the two of them. She looked exhausted, but good compared to what she had just gone through.

"Carole, oh my god, you look great, how are you feeling?" Kurt gave Carole a hug, not quite as big as his Dad's, scared of hurting her, even though she looked a lot better, he didn't want to risk hurting her.

"Much better than I was, but still exhausted, it's so lovely to see you though"

"It's great to see you both, too, come in, come in, Blaine has taken the kids out with one of his friends from school, so they should be back soon."

He lead the two of them into the house, showing them to their room, he left them to unpack, going downstairs to make some coffee and to put the casserole in he had been making for dinner. Just as the coffee finished brewing the front door banged open, the various sounds of voices echoing through the house.

As Kurt made his way into the front room, wiping his hands on a hand towel, he saw the mixture of kids and adults stood in the doorway, he rushed over to help them out with the twins car seats.

"Honey! Hi!" He gave Blaine a lingering kiss on the lips, taking Ava from Blaine. He turned to Blaine's friend, Amit. Amit and Blaine had met at the school, she was a guitar tutor, and she and Blaine had immediately hit it off. She was beautiful, with long limbs, tanned skin and long dark hair, if Blaine were even remotely straight, he would have been concerned, as it was, she had become a very close friend of the two, and was one of the only people Kurt would ever trust to look after any of his children, aside from family.

"Amit! You look gorgeous as always!" He gave her a hug and a peck on the cheek.

"Kurt! Great to see you! I hope you don't mind me stopping by with Blaine, Elliott and Elijah just would not leave each others sides, and begged me to let them play together for a bit, is that okay?"

"Oh my god, of course it is, come in, come in, my Dad and Carole have just arrived, so be prepared for it to be a bit manic, but I would love you forever if you would give me a hand with the Casserole for dinner, did you want to stay?"

"Normally, I would love to, you know I am a sucker for your cooking, but D will be home at about 6, so will need to get back for him, another time though, honey!"

Kurt smiled, Blaine had unloaded Imogen and put her in her playpen in the living room, so he turned and lifted Ava out, laying her next to her sister. Elijah and Elliot were involved playing with Elijah's toys in the corner, both fully intent on playing superheroes. Elliot was the spitting image of his parents, gorgeous hazel eyes and black thick curls atop his head, he was going to be a real looker when he was older.

Blaine settled down on the couch, keeping an eye on the boys, whilst Kurt led Amit into the kitchen.

"God you'd think you'd been the one to have three children from how lazy you are, B!" Blaine stuck his tongue out at Amit, like the giant child he was. Amit just giggled, this was the kind of easy natured relationship they had, always joking around with each other.

"Okay, Ami" Kurt liked to call her Ami, a name which came from Elijah trying his hardest trying to say 'Amit' and never quite getting there with the 'T'.

"Are you okay to watch this whilst I go and get my Dad and Carole? They have yet to meet the girls and I really want to see it when they meet the first time" Amit made shooing motions with her hands, shooing her friend out of the kitchen. Not before Kurt could place a kiss on her cheek.

"Love you, Ami!"

"Yeah, yeah, love you too, Kurt!"

Kurt practically sprinted up the stairs, taking two at a time, he couldn't wait to go and get his Dad and Carole down so they could meet his girls. He knocked lightly on the guest room door, eventually, after a few seconds, it swung open to show an exhausted looking Carole and his Dad looking like all of his christmases had come at once.

"Are they home, do I get to meet them now Kurt?" His Dad looked like a massive Kid, practically vibrating with excitement, Kurt couldn't help the smile which crept onto his face, he loved seeing his Dad so happy, especially after everything that had happened recently.

"Come on down, Blaine just got in with them, Amit has stopped by with Elliot too, you remember Ami right? From our wedding?"

"The one Finn couldn't help but drool over the entire evening? Making her husband nearly take his eyes out? Yep I remember her!"

The three of them made their way downstairs, Blaine turning on the couch to see his Father-In-Law, Mother-In-Law and Husband come down the stairs and into the living room.

"Burt! Carole! It's so good to see you!"

They exchanged the usual pleasantries before one of the girls made a squealing sound, clearly not happy in being left out from the greetings.

"Dad, I want you to meet your grand-daughters" Kurt picked Imogen up, as Blaine picked Ava up.

"This one is Imogen, and Blaine has Ava. Ava, Imogen, I want you to meet your Grandpa and Grandma."

Burt took them both into his arms, Carole still a little too weak to hold them, but looked lovingly over his shoulder. Kurt watched all the emotions dance across his fathers face at the sight of his two new granddaughters.

"My two gorgeous little girls, I can't believe how beautiful you are, just the perfect mix of your Daddies"

Elijah had finally lifted his head up from his toys, running over towards his Grandpa and wrapping his arms around his legs.

"Grandpa! I miss you!" Burt looked down to Elijah clinging onto his legs and smiled, restricted slightly from holding the two girls.

"Eli! Buddy! I missed you two, let me give your sisters to your Daddies and then I can see you better!"

He handed the girls to Kurt and Blaine, who placed them back in the playpen. Burt picked Elijah up and pulled him into a massive hug, making Elijah squeal in excitement. Kurt caught a movement out of the corner of his eye and saw Amit was stood in the doorway, Elliot in her arms, clearly wanting attention too.

Kurt held his hand out towards her, which she gladly took, being pulled into the room.

"Dad? This is Amit, a great friend of ours, and her son, Elliot, who is a friend of Elijah's"

"I remember you, Hi Ami! How's that husband of yours? Still wanting to kill Finn?"

Ami reached her hand out to shake Burt's laughing slightly at the mention of the embarrassing situation which had happened at Kurt and Blaine's wedding all those years before.

"Hi, Burt, Carole, great to see you both, D is great thanks, making his way through the ranks at his company! I'm pregnant again, so unfortunately will have to give up my job at the school, but I'm looking at going into childcare or something similar, that way I can still spend time with my children and earn some money too!"

Blaine and Kurt, of course, knew of her pregnancy, but didn't know about her wish to go into childcare, it make a little lightbulb go off in their heads, but now wasn't the time to think about that, that would be a conversation for later.

"Congratulations! Hey, are you staying for dinner? would be great to catch up"

"I can't I'm afraid, Burt, I need to get back, but maybe we can all pop over whilst you're here?"

"That would be great, see you soon then, Ami"

Amit kissed Blaine and Kurt on the cheeks, ruffling all three of the childrens hair before ducking out of the house, leaving the little family to their own devices, she loved them all very much, and couldn't wait to go back and spend some more time with them. For now though, she couldn't wait to get home and see her husband, he worked such long hours that she loved it when they could just be together, and by together, she meant, really together. Eliott was having an early bedtime tonight....

Kurt closed the door behind Amit, turning back towards the living room, he took a deep breath before going back in.
