Blaine opens his eyes expecting to find the beautiful face of his sleeping boyfriend, only to see tiny feet kicking just in front of his nose and to hear giggles. He brings a hand up to his face and rubs against his eyes to force his brain to wake up completely, and opens his eyes once again. The sight in front of him brings a huge smile to his face and he feels his heart racing.

Kurt is lying sideways on the bed with his elbow digging in the mattress and his head resting on one of his hands, while he uses the other to tickle Emilys tummy. The little girl is lying in between Blaine and Kurt giggling, with her head resting near Kurt and Blaines torso and her tiny feet kicking against the mattress.

When Kurt notices Blaine has awoken, he stops tickling Emily but leaves his hand on her stomach, while he lifts his head towards Blaine with a soft smile.

"Morning sleepy head" he says softly, before pushing himself slightly towards Blaine and pecking him on the lips.

"Morning" answers Blaine sleepily. He takes one of Emilys foot which are still bouncing in front of her head and kisses it softly, which causes the little girl to giggle once again. Blaine smiles, and sits up a little on the bed, until his back is resting against the headboard.

"Dada!" screams Emily excitedly, before she sits up on the bed and launches herself in his arms.

"Hi baby girl, how long have you been up?" Blaine asks in a soft voice, pressing  kiss to Emilys head before sitting her on his stomach so that the little girl can talk to him, and hit his chest excitedly with her tiny fists, showing how happy she is that her dad is up.

Blaine feels Kurt sit up next to him as well, and the other man settles right next to Blaine with their shoulders touching one another.

"She woke up about 40 minutes ago and wouldnt go back to sleep. I thought I would get her and bring her here so that I could be with my two favorite people in the world." Explains Kurt, pressing  a kiss against Blaines bare shoulder.

"You mean that you brought her here because you hoped you could catch a few more minutes of sleep and she would play happily between the two of us." Teases Blaine.

"Well.... That too." Answers Kurt, which prompts a soft laugh out of Blaine.

"What time is it?" asks Blaine while he distractingly caresses Emilys soft curls.

"About 7.30. She slept for longer than she usually does!"

"One year ago, could you imagine being excited about having gotten to sleep until 7.30?" asked Blaine laughing at what his life had turned out like.

"Absolutely not. But I wouldnt have it any other way." Answered Kurt seriously with a soft smile on his face.

Blaine thought about the sound of Emily giggling and her sitting on his chest chewing happily on her fist while kicking her feet gently against Blaine and babbling incessantly. He thought of Kurt with a soft smile and bed head which had been playing with his daughter and laughing softly, and he felt a huge smile growing on his face.

"Me neither." He said, grinning back at Kurt.

The other man smiled as well and bended towards Blaine to kiss him a couple times on the lips.

"So, what are your plans today?" asked Blaine, lifting one of his hands to rub against Kurts cheek.

"Well, Im seeing Burt for coffee this morning. And then, I have to quickly go into work because I have a meeting with Isabelle."

"Say hi to Burt for me." Said Blaine with a smile.

Since their meeting with Burt about three weeks ago, Blaine had warmed up to the other man quite a bit. He had even met Burt in a bar to see a football game one night. Kurt personally didnt understand the appeal of the sport, even if he had tried to watch a couple times, but he was glad that his father and Blaine got along now.

"What about you, what are your plans?" asked Kurt, smiling when Emily threw herself at him. Kurt hugged her briefly and the little girl giggled, before he turned back towards Blaine to hear his answer.

"I dont know, what do you think baby girl, what do you want to do?" asked Blaine to Emily, taking one of her chubby arms with one hand while he tickled her softly with the other.

"BALL! BALL DADA!" Emily shouted excitedly.

"Well then, I guess going to the park to play with Emily are my plans then." Said Blaine, an amused look on his face.

"Ill try to join you as soon as Im done with my meeting." Said Kurt, pressing a kiss to Blaines shoulder.

"That would be nice" replied Blaine, a soft smile gracing his face.

"And maybe later, once Emily is put to bed and Isaac is out doing god knows what, you and I can.... Play a bit." Said Kurt suggestively. He nuzzled Blaines neck and pressed small kisses down his jaw, neck until he reached his shoulder, making his intention clear.

"Well Mr.Hummel, what did you have in mind?"

"Well... We could break out that new oil I bought on the internet and I could give you a very thorough massage, and then..." he stopped talking, concentrating on pressing torturous kisses along Blaines neck and shoulder instead.

"And then? I like that plan so far..."

"And then, once youre relaxed all over, I could have my wicked way with you all night long and make you scream my name." Kurt said, taking Blaines face between his hands and pressing a filthy kiss into his mouth. Blaine had just opened his mouth to let Kurt in and could feel Kurts tongue lick against his bottom lip when an excited cry from Emily broke the moment and brought them both back to reality.

"Lets not scar our daughter to life just yet shall we?" laughed Blaine, pulling away from Kurt and smiling brightly at Emily.

Kurt dropped his forehead against Blaines temple and sighed. "If we must." He said dejectedly. "I should probably go and get ready, Ive got to meet Burt in an hour." He pressed a kiss to Blaines temple, cupped Emilys head to kiss her forehead and got up of the bed.

"And Kurt?" Blaine called him just before he made his way in the bathroom, causing Kurt to turn around and look at him with a curious look.

"You better hold that promise and follow that plan tonight"

"Oh, I will Anderson, I will." Replied Kurt winking at him, before he went into the bathroom and got ready. Blaine just smiled and shook his head, he was in love with a ridiculous man, but he wouldnt have it any other way.

********************

"So then, that idiot dropped coffee all other Isabelles designs, and I swear I saw smoke coming out of her ears! But right now, I couldnt be more grateful to that clumsy intern because him ruining Isabelles sketches meant we were short on time, and I got to pitch some of my ideas and Isabelle LOVED my idea of a tuxedo with a kilt instead of regular pants, she said it was hype and edgy!" explained Kurt excitedly.

Burt looked at his son fondly. He hadnt understood more than half of what Kurt was talking about and had no idea if ‘hype or ‘edgy were things to look for in fashion, but he was glad to see his son be that excited and happy.

"Well I have no idea what that means exactly, but am very proud of you." Said Burt with a soft smile.

"Thanks Burt. What about you? How are things going with the house?"

Burt smiled in answer and launched into a story about contractors, and how crazy Carole was going trying to unpack the entire house before she started her new nursing position in the hospital close by. As Burt was talking, Kurt could see the fondness on his face when he spoke about Carole and Finn.

Kurt felt a little twinge of jealousy hearing about his fathers family and how much he seemed to love them and the life they had together, but then, he realized that the reason why Carole was going crazy trying to unpack their new house was for him. Burt had uprooted his whole life to come to New York and live closer to Kurt. He might not have been present during Kurts childhood, but right now, he was doing everything he could to make up for lost time, and Kurt felt a wave of gratefulness towards his father.

He waited until Burt had finished his story, and laughed softly when Burt finished telling him how Finn and Rachel had come to dinner and Carole had tried to hide how much she wanted to strangle the young girl for half of the meal.

"Rachel can definitely have that effect on people. I want to strangle her 80% of the time and shes one of my best friends. You should have seen the first day Blaine met her, it was as if he had met an alien or something."

Burt laughed out loud, and Kurt smiled, shaking his head fondly thinking of his friend.

 A few minutes of silence followed and Kurt tried to think of a way to say what he wanted to say to his father.

"Look Burt... I dont think Ive really thanked you properly for moving here."

"Kurt , no, you dont have to thank me." Answered Burt seriously, not wanting his son to feel like he owed him anything. If anything, he owed so much to his son and everything he did now would never make up for not being here when his son was grieving and needed him the most.

"Yes, I do, just let me finish please ok?" asked Kurt, and when Burt nodded, Kurt thought a few seconds about how he wanted to say this and continued.

"I was so so angry at you for so long. I felt like you had abandoned me, and when you came back, I just wasnt ready to forget and forgive."

"I understand all of that Kurt, you dont have to explain yourself. You had... have every right to be upset."

"I know, I know. And I was. But what Im trying to say is... Im not anymore. I dont know if things will ever be the same way they were between us, but I do know that I am glad youre here. Im grateful for you moving here and changing all of your life for me and Im happy to have you back in my life. Ive missed you."

By the end of the speech, both Burt and Kurt had tears in their eyes. Burt suddenly got up from his chair and stood up in front of Kurt.

"Stand up son." He said gently, still fighting for his tears not to fall down his face.

"Burt... were in the middle of a coffee shop." Answered Kurt, wiping his tears away and looking around him to see a few people staring at Burt strangely.

"I dont care, I need to do this. Please get up."

Kurt got up tentatively, and once he was standing in front of Burt, he was engulfed in a huge hug. Burt had one of his hands flat on Kurts back and was holding him close, while the other was cupping the back of Kurts head and pushed his face gently towards his neck. For a few seconds, Kurt didnt know how to react, but after hesitating for a few moments, he gave in and put both of his arms around Burt, giving in to the urge to hug his father.

It felt so good to be in his fathers arms, and Kurt felt so loved in that moment, that he felt a new wave of tears building up in his eyes.

"Thank you Kurt. Thank you for accepting me into your life again, and I am so happy I get to see you too." Whispered Burt in Kurts ear, before kissing his temple and finally letting go, going back to sit in his chair as if nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

Kurt could feel people staring at them, but right now he couldnt care less. From what Kurt remembered of his father, the man has never been into big gestures of affection, and if Burt didnt care, then Kurt certainly wouldnt either.

After a few seconds of sitting in silence and smiling at each other, Burt broke the moment by coughing slightly and laughing softly.

"So, how is that family of yours?" he asked Kurt, causing Kurt to launch into a story explaining how Emily had recently learned how to say the word apple and now that was all she wanted to eat, and how she was driving everyone in the apartment crazy by repeating the word over and over again.

While he was telling the story, Kurt could see the wishful look in Burts eyes every time he heard Emilys name, and decided that he was ready. His relationship with his father would never be perfect, but Emily deserved to have grandparents, and from what Kurt could see of Burt now, he would be a great grandfather, even if he hadnt been the best dad.

"What are you an Carole doing next Friday?" asked Kurt suddenly, surprising Burt.

"Well, I dont know yet. Theres a new football game, I might just try and get Carole to watch that with me. Why?" asked Burt curiously.

"Well, I would have to talk to Blaine first but.... How would you feel about coming to the apartment and getting to meet Emily?" asked Kurt uncertainly. He knew Burt wanted to meet his grandchild, but he still felt nervous for some reason.

"Seriously? I would love that Kurt." Said Burt, feeling tears well in his eyes again.

"Ok, well I will talk to Blaine, but maybe you and Carole, and Finn and Rachel could come to dinner Friday. We could have a... family meal I guess."

"Family meal sounds absolutely perfect." Replied Burt with a huge smile on his face. Seeing the other mans face, Kurt knew he has taken the right decision and wouldnt regret it. From his excitement, it was easy to see how much Burt already loved Emily without even having met her yet, and how lucky the girl would be to have such a family in her life.

*******************

Later that day, Blaine was standing in front of the sink and brushing his teeth when he felt arms come around him. Blaine looked into the mirror in front of him and smiled around his toothbrush when Kurts face popped up and his boyfriend kissed his neck softly before putting his head on Blaines shoulder.

"Tothdu fas a thood fay" Blaine tried to say around his toothbrush, a little toothpaste dropping on his chin with his effort to speak.

Kurt kept his arms around Blaine but pulled back slightly and laughed at his boyfriend

"First, very attractive Blaine.2" he said while whipping the toothpaste on Blaines chin. "And second, what was that? I did not understand a word"

Blaine spit in the sink, rinsed his mouth and turned around in his boyfriends embrace, putting both of his arms around Kurts neck.

"I said: Today was a good day." He repeated with a small smile, before pecking Kurt slightly.

Kurt petted Blaines back and smiled in answer.

"It really was. I thought Emily was going to go crazy chasing after the pigeon at the park!"

"Yeah, we have a crazy daughter." Laughed Blaine in answer, remembering his daughters antics earlier in the day.

"Switch places?" asked Kurt, wanting to open the cabinet to do his moisturizing routine before heading to bed.

Blaine and Kurt moved around until Kurt was the one standing in front of the sink and opening the small cabinet to get his moisturizing cream, and Blaine was the one pressed against his back, with his arm around his.

While Kurt was carefully applying the cream, Blaine pressed a kiss to the back of his neck.

"So... I have to ask you something." Said Kurt nervously.

"Hmm?" asked Blaine, still pressing kisses down the side of Kurts neck and caressing Kurts torso slowly with the hand that had made it under the other mans shirt.

"Do you think next week end we could invite Burt, Carole and Finn here to have dinner? I would like Burt to meet Emily, and...."

Sensing the nervousness in his boyfriends voice, Blaine lifted his head back up, although he still kept both of his arms around Kurt. He looked straight ahead until he met Kurts eyes in the mirror and he smiled reassuringly.

"I thought we had already spoken about that? I like Burt, and I trust your judgment. If you want him to meet Emily, I am all for that."

"Ok... Thank you. Its just... its a big step for me you know? Youve already met him and I was nervous for that but him coming here and meeting Emily and Isaac... Its like my previous family meeting my new family and maybe becoming one big family? Its just... a big step." Kurt tried to explain himself, wanting Blaine to understand how important this was to him and how grateful he was that Blaine was trusting his judgment on this.

"I know babe. I understand. Just know youre not alone, and I love you and Im here ok? And well ask Isaac to be on his best behavior, and everything will be great." Blaine hugged Kurt a little tighter against his chest and he kissed his cheek softly before nuzzling Kurts neck, waiting until Kurt relaxed totally in his arms.

Kurt turned around in Blaines arms, and he smiled brightly before cupping Blaines face in between both of his hands and kissing him senseless. After a few minutes of kissing, Blaines hand had made its way in Kurts hair and Kurt had his hands on Blaines ass, pulling his boyfriend towards him.

Blaine pulled back a little and smiled suggestively at Kurt.

"Didnt I hear a promise about you having your wicked way with me this morning? Im still waiting Hummel."

Kurt didnt even take the time to answer, he just kissed Blaine dirtily again before taking his hand in his and pulling a laughing Blaine in the bedroom and towards the bed.

"Lets go."

*******************

"Ise, were having dinner with Burt, Carole and Finn Saturday" announced Kurt while he was sitting on the sofa and tying his shoes, getting ready to go running.

"Oh, uh... okay. I guess Ill ask Marc if I can crash at his place that night." Said Isaac, a little uncomfortably.

Both Kurt and Blaine, who was sitting in the floor and playing with Emily lifted their heads in surprise and looked at Isaac as if he was crazy.

"Um, why?" asked Kurt, as if he was talking to a small child.

"Well I mean... your father and his wife are going to be meeting Emily and Blaine, you probably want that to be a family thing. I can make myself scarce for the night." Explained Isaac.

"Exactly . It is a family thing. Which is why youre going to be here. You can invite Marc if you want to, but you have to be there. Youre much more of a brother to me that Finn is you goof." Said Kurt exasperatedly, not believing Isaac would think they didnt want him there.

"Oh, well ok then, Ill be there!" replied Isaac with a huge smile. Him and Kurt and been through so much together and they had been each others family when the other had no one, but now that Kurt was recreating links with his father, Isaac hadnt been sure where he stood anymore. The news that Kurt wanted him here made him insanely happy.

Kurt rolled his eyes teasingly at Isaac, and got up from the couch.

"Well, Im off, Ill see you later. Behave you goof." He said, ruffling Isaacs hair with his hand, before he bended down to peck Blaine on this lips, and kiss Emilys fist.

When the door closed behind Kurt, Blaine looked at Isaac and shook his head teasingly at the man. He took Emily into his arms and sat the little girl on his laps, taking both of her arms in his hands.

"Isnt your uncle Isaac silly? Yes he is, uncle Isaac is so silly." Blaine said in his baby voice.

"Uncl Isaac silly, uncl Isaac silly, uncle Isaac silly" repeated Emily excitedly.

"Thanks for that Blaine. Now shes going to repeat that sentences for days." Isaac said rolling his eyes, although he bended forward and tickled Emily with one hand.

"Yeah, well thats pay back for teaching my daughter a certain word. I did not want one of Emilys firsts words to be shit just because you cant hold your tongue." Replied answer.

"SHIT, SHIT SHIT!" started screaming Emily, getting up from Blaines lap and running all around the room.

Blaine just looked at Isaac with an exasperated look, as if to say: see what you did.

Isaac tried to hold his smile, but when he saw the little girl running around with her arms in the air and repeating the cuss word over and over again, he couldnt hold it anymore and busted out laughing, which had Blaine hitting the back of his head.

"Youre not helping my case Em, but I love you nonetheless, you traitor." Said Isaac with a smile.

*****************

The doorbell rang, and Kurt felt his nervousness rise. He got out from the kitchen where he had been dealing with the last touches of dinner, and found Blaine waiting for him. Blaine took his hands in his and squeezed them once while smiling softly, wanting to reassure Kurt.

"I love you. Everything is going to be ok." He said before pecking Kurt on the lips, and pushing him softly towards the door.

Kurt made his way to the door, and opened it to find a happy Carole and Burt which gave him a nervous smile. Somehow, the idea that Burt felt nervous as well eased his tension and he felt himself relax.

"Hi Burt, Carole, you look great. Please come on in." he said, opening the door for them to come inside.

"Hello Kurt, it is lovely to see you again." Said Carole, hugging him quickly. Kurt was a little surprised at the display of affection, but it was impossible to dislike Carole and he just hugged her back.

Burt also hugged Kurt quickly, before he made his way inside the apartment.

"You have a nice home Kurt." He said, looking around. The last time he had been here, neither Kurt nor Blaine had even left him through the door. Granted, it had been very early in the morning and he hadnt seen Kurt in years, but still, him being welcomed inside was a good feeling.

Blaine came a little closer to the group and settled his hand on the bottom of Kurts back to reassure him, before he smiled warmly at Burt and Carole.

"It is very nice to see you again, welcome to our humble house!" said Blaine jokingly, trying to break the ice a little. Both Burt and Carole smiled back in answer and they shook his hand in greeting.

Isaac and Marc both came out of Isaacs room, both having heard the doorbell. Isaac was wearing a button-up shirt, which he never did, and had a nervous smile on his face. Marc was holding his hand and Kurt could tell he was trying to reassure Isaac, which Kurt was grateful for.

"This is my brother Isaac and his boyfriend Marc" said Kurt, introducing Isaac before the man had the time to do it himself. Isaac was shocked at the introduction, he knew that Kurt thought of him as his little brother, but he hadnt expected Kurt to actually introduce him as such to his father.

Neither Carole nor Burt said anything at the introduction and they both shook Isaac and Marcs hands warmly, although Burt had a curious look on his face.

"Isaac and I met at the orphanage. We grew up together." Explained Kurt to his father, prompting a look of understanding and a sad smile to cross Burts face.

Before any awkwardness had the time to really settle, Emily came barreling into the room from where she had been playing and everyone turned towards her. Emily noticing all the people in the room for the first smile shrunk a little and instantly made her way towards Kurt, tugging on the leg of his pants so that Kurt would lift her up.

Kurt lifted her up into his arms and Emily instantly nestled her face into Kurts neck, hiding her face from the new comers although she watched them with one eye.

"And this shy little girl is Emily." Said Kurt in a soft voice. "Princess, this is my father Burt and Carole. Do you want to say hello?"

Emily shook her head negatively which had Kurt laughing, but she still lifted her head a bit and looked at Burt and Carole timidly.

"Hello sweetie, its nice to meet you." Said Carole with a soft smile.

Burt had been silent since Emily entered the room and he hadnt looked away from the little girl. Kurt could see tears welling in his eyes and he swallowed once before turning to Kurt.

"Shes really beautiful Kurt" he said softly.

Kurt smiled and took Blaines hand in his, while still holding Emily with his other arm.

"Well, Im afraid I take absolutely zero credit there. But yes, she really is." Said Kurt, kissing the top of Emilys head.

"Shall we eat?" said Blaine earnestly, and everyone nodded in agreement and made their way to the table taking the entirety of the space in the living room.

******************

A few hours later, Kurt was sitting on the sofa next to Burt which was bouncing up on his laps which had the little girl dying of laughter. Kurt looked around him and he couldnt help but smile at what he saw.

The meal had been awkward at first and no one really knew what to say or how to react. Blaine had valiantly tried to break the ice and start conversations going, but he was only one man and he hadnt been able to do much.

Finally, Rachel and Finn had arrives around 20 minutes later with a hilarious story about the soufflé they had tried to make and how it had ended in disaster and with Rachels oven on fire, so they had just given up and brought cookies from the store instead.

The story had everyone laughing and the people around the table had finally started to relax and chat amicably.

Now the meal was done and everything was full and currently drinking coffee and relaxing. Once Emily had relaxed and gotten over her shyness, she had instantly taken to Burt and she had been sitting in his lap ever since. At the first the man hadnt known how to react, not having been around a small child in such a long time, but eventually he had started to relax and his old reflexes about when Kurt was a baby had taken over. Now, anyone could see the adoration in his eyes when he looked at the little girl and Kurt couldnt have been happier to see his little girl laughing so fully.

Kurt made his way up from the couch and grabbed a pile of plates from the table which he brought to the kitchen. He found Carole leaning against the counter and chatting with Blaine who was doing the dishes. When she saw his arrive, Carole smiled softly and she made her way out of the kitchen.

Kurt deposited the pile of plates on the counter next to the sink and he smiled at Blaine.

"More work? Seriously Kurt? I didnt even know we owned that many dishes!" said Blaine jokingly.

"Less complaining, and more cleaning sir." Replied Kurt with a teasing smile and a tap to Blaines butt cheek which had the man laughing.

Kurt started to make his way back towards the living room, but he stopped in the doorway between the kitchen and the living room and he just stared at the image in front of him.

Isaac had taken his seat on the sofa and he was now sitting with Burt, while Emily was laying down on both of their legs, kicking her feet in excitement while both Burt and Isaac tickled her.

Marc was talking with Rachel and although he looked a little annoyed sometimes, he was smiling amusingly most of the time and he was surviving a conversation with Rachel Berry, which wasnt an easy fit. Kurt could see him sneak glances at Isaac through the conversation and Kurt couldnt help but smile at how obviously in love Marc was with the man Kurt considered his brother.

Carole was gathering the final dishes on the table and she was jokingly telling Finn off so that the man would get up and help clean up the mess from dinner.

Kurt felt arms come around him and a chin rest on his shoulder. He leaned back towards Blaines warm chest and put his hand on top of Blaines where it was resting on his stomach.

"This went well right?" asked Blaine, pressing a kiss to Kurts temple.

Kurt looked again, he saw the way Marc was teasing Rachel, how Carole and Finn were mock fighting while she forced him to carry the pile of plates. He saw the relaxed and happy way Isaac was behaving around Burt when he was usually so weary of older men because of his own dad. He saw Burts huge smile and the laughter lines around his eyes while he was playing with Emily. He heard Emilys squeal of happiness and he felt Blaines arms around his midsection.

Right now, he was surrounded by his family, he was in the arms of the man he loved, his daughter was happy, he was rebuilding a relationship with his father and both of his brothers were in happy places in their life and obviously in love. He couldnt think of a moment he had felt happier in his life. He had the man of his life, he had a family, and he had a home. Kurt Hummel had everything he had ever wished for.

"Yes, it went perfectly." Kurt finally answered.

It wouldnt always be easy. He and Blaine would fight; Emily would grow up and might miss having a female figure in her life, miss having a mother. Isaac would end up moving out and Kurts relationship with Burt would always be a little strained. Life would happen and tough times were ahead. Emilys father showing up and trying to claim his parenting rights, finding the right house, trying to adopt another child, Emilys asthma, it wouldnt always be this perfect. However, Kurt was happy and he looked forward to spending many more years with these people. The joy, the sadness, the grief, the laughter, the anger, he looked forward to all of it.  Because after everything he had been through, he had finally been able to do what he had always wanted to do. Him, Blaine, Emily and Isaac, they were a family and they had managed to give him what he most wanted in the world. Together, they managed to create a home.
