It has been six years since the wedding, and Kurt is now a known Broadway actor and a father of two. He is still married to Orlando Quenell, the love of his life whom is a Broadway musical director and writer.

Kurt worships Orlando. He once felt this kind of devotion before and that was ten years ago when he was still a teenager. Orlando is everything he wants to be. His husband is gorgeous - an all American blond, with piercing green eyes and an awesome build. He loves musicals and he definitely can write and sing (his two Tony awards are proof of that). He's also a very talented musician. Plus, he loves kids and is good to Kurt in every possible way and the words "in bed" are included in that.

A lot has changed these 6 years especially for Kurt. From being a striving actor, to getting a part from Grease as Danny Zuko, to landing Chicago's Roxie Hart character a year after; shocking the whole Broadway industry. He then starred in his own Tony-award winning show, Secret Diaries of the Diva, written by his famous Broadway writer and husband, Orlando Quenell. Kurt and Orlando became a super couple in the Broadway Industry and both became ambassadors for the No H8 campaign and Trevor Project.

A year after their marriage, the couple decided to hire a surrogate and she gave birth to twins; one boy and one girl whom they named Coco and Alfie. It was hard to raise the kids by themselves, especially because the two are busy with the show. Occasionally, Finn and Rachel come to visit as do Burt and Carole. Orlando's parents visit too every month. The couple hired a nanny to keep their twins fed and safe.

Their apartment in Manhattan proved to be a little troublesome while raising five years olds. So Orlando asked Kurt if they could buy a house in Ohio. That way, the kids can be closer to the Hummel's. Kurt was hesitant at first since Ohio is not really a gay-friendly state and it's far from New York. Since he needs his parents to help raise the children, he finally says yes. Kurt figures it'll be great to take a break from the industry to raise the kids in a country house.

So there they were, in Orlando's Alfa Romeo red 4C, driving on the streets of Ohio looking for a house. Their real estate agent asked them to meet her in the Westerville neighborhood which made Kurt uncomfortable because he knew that place. He had visited it a few times during his teenage years.

"Honey, have you forgotten that my parents live in Lima? Westerville is 2 hours away from them."

"Baby, I just want our own environment. As much as I love to be near Burt and Carole, I also want to be a bit far so we can have our privacy. Then we can practice parenting. Besides, Westerville has an amazing neighborhood that you'll love!"

Kurt took a deep breath and gave his husband a forced smile. I wish.

Orlando stopped at the first house he came to, just past the entrance, where a middle-aged blond woman seemed to be waiting for them. When she realized who they were, she gave them a big smile and approachedthem immediately.

"Good Day, Mr. Hummel-Quennels. I'm Clarissa Brown. I believe that Orlando is looking for a big house here in Ohio, so I recommended this neighborhood. Most of the houses here are owned by wealthy families in the state. It's a wonderful environment if you want to start a family since the neighborhood is more tolerable to change; plus as celebrities, you can have all the privacy you want." Clarissa exclaimed with a big smile.

"Perfect!" Orlando happily replied.

The house hunting was long as Kurt and Orlando took their time checking every room in the houses that Clarissa showed them. She brought them to five big houses, three of them having modern architecture Kurt adored. He made sure to check the master bedroom and the bathrooms while Orlando checked the backyard and the garage. The houses are great. Kurt feels as though his husband is not quite satisfied.

"Let's go see the next one. What do you think, baby?" Orlando asks with a steady smile.

Kurt just nods his head. He understands that they don't really need to rush in looking for a house. Besides, they're not here just to look for beautiful architecture, or fabulous interior designs, they're here to look for a home where they will raise their kids and grow old.

After a fifteen minute drive from the Modern glass house, his eyes catch the sight of a big metal gate in front of a gigantic English castle. The walls around the house are covered by green vines and the bushes in front of the castle are still filled with beautiful wild flowers. The landscape is breath taking, and the castle looks like a fairy tale palace surrounded by Oak trees that shine with beautiful green color. Spring makes the whole place look like a dream. Kurt has to turn his head as he tries to avoid memories that are flashing in his mind's eye. There were more beautiful sights that Kurt had admired in this castle.

"Clarissa, how about that beautiful house? Is that for sale too?" Orlando's voice brings Kurt back to reality. He stares at his husband who is admiring the castle.

"Oh! I didn't see you as a lover of old European Castles. Well, the owners decided to sell it three months ago since no one really lives here anymore. The whole family has settled in Europe now. We can check it if you like, I believe the house keeper is still here doing some last minute business." She replied.

Kurt looks at Orlando and takes a deep breath. Great.

They stop at the front of the castle. Clarissa leads them to the beautiful wooden door. Orlando puts his arms around Kurt's waist as they follow their real estate agent through the old house.

"This whole lot is fully gated. The castle has stone exterior with a slate roof. As you can see from the outside, it has a lovely landscape. I believe they hired a famous landscaper to make it look like an English garden." The real estate agent proudly states, gesturing her hands to the front yard of the mansion.

"The trees are beautiful." Orlando says while looking around.

"Yes, Oak trees were a personal favourite of the owners." Clarissa adds in agreement.

Kurt has to disagree though. He remembers that only one particular young man from the household had expressed his love for the trees. Kurt also remembers how this young man had fought to keep the trees after the landscaper had wanted to remove them.

"Okay, in we go." Clarissa says, as she waves her hand beckoning them to follow her inside.

They were welcomed by a big hall that housed a huge marble stairway covered by a maroon carpet. A round mahogany table was placed in the middle. Above the table, a massive chandelier sparkles.

"The house is architecturally designed to maximize natural lighting with high ceilings and huge doors that open to a loggia, a gourmet and outdoor kitchen, with two pools with waterfalls and a grotto. It has an attached guest house, a terrace, a wine cellar, three fireplaces, a library and second loggia to the lower pool. This castle is beautifully decorated with attention to every detail." Clarissa stated while reading the house description and amenities from her folder.

"Also, this house has eight rooms and eight bathrooms. Aside from that, it also has its own panic room, a big attic, a vault room and a storage room located in the basement. The castle is also protected by a security system." She added.

Orlando gave her a knowing smile and Kurt knew then that his husband is beyond satisfied. He had never expected to be back in this house. Not in a million years. Kurt had decided that after everything that had happened, this house would remain a memory.

"Holy shit." Orlando cursed as he looks outside beyond the big window. "Is that a lake?"

"Yes indeed. This is a waterfront lot that overlooks nearly mile deep water, and has a boat dock!" Clarissa said as she led Orlando to the backyard where the pool and the lake are located.

Kurt, however, did not follow them. This house had given him too many painful memories. He can't simply make himself comfortable and admire the architecture and its amenities. He remembers this house as being cold and empty. He silently climbs the grand stairs, his hand brushing its marbled handle. The castle was big enough for someone to get lost but Kurt knew every detail and every room of this house by heart. He found himself looking at a certain room with a mahogany door at the far left. He had always thought this room was far from the others but being able to visit this castle a couple of times before; he knew that it was there for a reason. The former owner of that room was a musician and the others did not like hearing his music. He walks toward the room and carefully opens the door. Inside, he sees the Anderson's old butler fixing an old box on the bed.

"Freddy! It's been so long." Kurt happily exclaimess, startling the old man.

"Master… Hummel, is it? Indeed, it has been long. It's a surprise to see you here." Freddy replies while fixing his glasses to get a good look. He gives Kurt a small smile and gentle bow before going back to his work.

"Oh, Clarissa, the real estate agent brought us here… to look at the place." Kurt replied awkwardly.

"Are you planning to buy the Mansion?" Freddy asks without looking at Kurt.

"I'm not sure." Kurt answers honestly.

"Well, some unpleasant history has happened here. But of course, you know that. Master Richard and Mistress Ellen decided to sell it because it holds horrid memories. It's a shame really, since this mansion is practically my home. My family grew up here." Freddy says quietly as he puts some old clothes in the box. Kurt shortly recognized the clothes as Dalton cardigans.

"I'm sorry to hear that but what do you mean unpleasant history? Did someone die here?" Kurt asks as he approaches the old man.

"Oh? Oh..." The old man turns to look at him with a stunned expression. After a silent moment of realization, he turns his head back and continues to fix some papers from Blaine's old drawer and put it all in the box. "I'm surprised you're not aware. It happened around ten years ago when Master Blaine was in a grave depression and he did a lot of things that horrified the whole household. But of course, he got well and decided to leave the country five years ago. I am very proud that he's now living his dreams."

Kurt looked at the old man with shock. "Depression? When was this?"

"When he left New York, to study at Yale." Freddy quietly said.

"Huh? I don't understand."

"Master Hummel." Freddy approached him slowly as he holds the brown box he had been stuffing with old things, "Would you like to keep this box? I believe that most of its contents are yours."

"Mine?"

"Here. Take it." The man gave him a sad smile and walked away. As he reaches the door, he gives Kurt a stern look. "I shall go and take some of the stuff to the basement. But please, feel free to tour around the house; you'll be surprised of how many things have changed since you last visited. Master John thought putting some safety measures around the house would help young master Blaine."

"Why? What happened to Blaine?" Kurt asks with concern.

"He tried to kill himself many times, Master Hummel. And there was one time that he almost did."
