When Kurt made it inside he was headed up to his room when he heard a voice behind him call, "Governor Kurt!"
Kurt turned on the stairs, "Yes Captain."
"What were my children doing on the lake today?", he asked his voice extremely controlled.
"We were rowing, Captain.", said Kurt.
"My children do not row, Governor. The study and they march.", he said.
"There just children, Captain. They need to have a little fun.", Kurt said defiantly.
"This isn't working out. I think you should leave.", said the Captain, unfeelingly.
Kurt nodded, "Alright Captain." Just as Kurt was turning to head up to pack his bags the children began singing. Kurt and the children had worked hard to make sure the song was perfect for Captain Anderson and whoever may have come back with him.
"What is that sound?", asked the Captain his voice softening a little.
"That would be the children, sir.", said Kurt, "They wanted to put on a little show and whoever came back with you." Captain Anderson walked to the sitting room where the children were singing for Baron Sebastian and Sam.
"The sun goes down the stars come out
And all that counts is here and now.
My universe will never be the same.
I'm glad you came.
I'm glad you came." Captian Anderson joined in. As the children smiled at him.
"Excuse me.", he said pardoning himself quickly. He walked quickly to the foyer where Kurt was just coming down with his packed bag.
"Governor Kurt!", Captain Anderson called as he moved towards the stairs. Kurt turned towards the Captain.
"Yes, Captain.", he said, readying himself for more yelling.
"You brought music back into our home. Thank-you.", he said smiling for the first time Kurt had ever seen. It took his breath away. "I would love for you to stay.", Captian Anderson said, "Only for a short while though. You see I have asked Baron Sebastian to marry me."
Kurt felt his heart sink, but he pasted on a smile. "That's wonderful Captain."
Blaine gave Kurt another rare smile, "Thank-you. I'm hoping you can help the children get used to him. It's obvious they love you."
"I'll do my best Captain.", Kurt said.
Blaine nodded. "Why don't you run your bag back up to your room. Then come down, and you can show us what other wonderful songs the children have learned." The captain headed back towards the sitting room. Only then did Kurt allow the tears to fall down his face, as his heart broke.
