"Who did you say lent you this car?" asked Blaine skeptically, turning towards Kurt who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"I told you, it was my friend Justin from school. He said he didnt need it this week end, and since we needed a car to come out there, I asked if we could borrow his for the week end." Repeated Kurt for the tenth time, rolling his eyes teasingly at his boyfriend.

Blaine just nodded and didnt say anything for a while. Its not that he didnt trust this Justin guy, he had never met him after all, and he was one of Kurts friends, so he had no reasons to dislike or distrust the man. Its just that since his parents accident, Blaine had never been a big fan of cars in general, and having his two favorite people in the world in the car of a man he didnt even know didnt really reassure him.

Kurt eyed his boyfriend with a fond smile and put one of his hands at the back of Blaines hair, rubbing his neck with his thumb gently.

"I know youre worried and dont like cars honey, but I promise this is perfectly safe. Youre a good driver, this is a decent car, and we made it here in one piece didnt we?"

"I guess we did." Answered Blaine grumpily. "Who even owns a car in New York?"

Kurt just laughed at his boyfriends attitude and pushed forward to press a kiss to Blaines lips, while still smiling.

"I dont know, but it definitely saved our butts. Now should we get out? Burt and Carole will be waiting, and I think this little one is going to bounce out of her seat if we dont get her out of the car real soon." Said Kurt fondly, pointing towards Emily who was sitting in the back and singing excitedly.

The little girl was too young to fully understand what Easter was all about, but she was looking forward to seeing Burt and Carole whom she absolutely adored, and what she definitely understood was the meaning of chocolate. Since Isaac had explained that on Easter chocolate fell out of the sky and was hidden in the garden, the little girl had been so excited to come to her grandfathers house.

Blaine turned back towards Emily and smiled when he saw the huge grin on his daughters face.

"Lets go baby girl!" he said, before getting out of the car and making his way out to Emilys door before detaching the little girl from her car seat and lifting her in his arms.

Blaine shut the door and walked towards Kurt who was standing near the door to Burt and Caroles new house and waiting for them with a kind smile. Blaine pressed a kiss on Kurts cheek, and he took the other mans hand in his while Kurt knocked with his free hand.

A few hours later, Kurt was looking around and couldnt quite believe this was his life. The weather was nice, so Burt and Carole had prepared a buffet in the garden and they were currently bringing all the dished to lay them on the table, which Kurt had offered to help with.

Blaine and Emily were running around in the yard, and Kurt couldnt help but laugh and his boyfriends antics. Blaine was pretending to be a monster and was running after a screaming and giggling Emily. The little girl looked like she was having the time of her life, and Kurt felt his heart ache at the love he felt for these two people.

"Shes a lovely little girl Kurt. Shes so lively and happy, I still cant believe what you told us about when she first arrived with you two." Kurt heard Carole say from behind him, pulling his out of his thoughts.

"Yes, she really is." Answered Kurt with a happy smile, before turning back to mixing the potato salad which he had been doing before getting distracted by watching Blaine and Emily play.

"Papa, papa, we go find eggs now!" Kurt heard Emily scream.

He lifted his head up and saw the little girl was running towards him with a huge smile on her face and her arms lifted in the air. Suddenly, Kurt saw Emily trip on something on the floor and before any of them could do anything, the little girl was tumbling on the floor and crying.

Kurt dropped the spoon he had been using and ran towards the little girl who was crying on the floor, from the corner of his eyes, he saw Blaine doing the same thing but he reached her first and lifted the crying little girl into his arms.

Emily snuggled into Kurts arms still crying and hid her face into her fathers neck.

"Its ok princess, youre ok." Kurt tried to reassure Emily while rubbing her back softly with his hand. Blaine reached them at the same moment, and instantly wrapped the two of them into his arms while pressing a kiss to Emilys head.

"Where does it hurt baby girl? Want daddy to kiss it better?" he asked softly.

Emily still crying softly nodded and lifted her head from Kurts shoulder, before pointing towards her knee. Blaine instantly bent down and pressed soft kisses on both of her knees with loud exaggerated kissing sounds. He got back up and caressed Emilys face with one of his palms.

"How does that feel Em? Is it better?" he asked the little girl.

"A wittle bit." Answered Emily. She wasnt crying anymore but the tear tracks could still be seen on her face and Kurt pressed kisses on both of her cheeks to dry her tears.

"I think I know what will make you feel better champ." They heard Burt say from behind them. "A little bird told me that he saw some eggs hidden somewhere in this yard. How about you and I go and hunt these down? Maybe we can even let your Daddy and Papa eat one of them after, but only if they are really good. What do you say?"

"YES!" said Emily, her injury completely forgotten. She instantly lifted her arms towards Burt so that the older man could take her into his arms.

Kurt gave Emily to Burt and he smiled gratefully towards the other man.

"Thanks dad." He said softly.

Burt stopped in his tracks and Kurt and Blaine could see the tears make their way into his eyes. Since Burt had come back into Kurts life, their relationship had been getting better, but it still wasnt the same as it used to be, and this was the first time Kurt used the word ‘Dad while speaking to Burt.

Kurt could see the shock and the emotion in his fathers eyes, and he smiled softly in answer.

"Youre welcome son." Burt answered softly after clearing his throat. He smiled softly towards Kurt, infinitely happy that the other man trusted him again enough to let him be his dad, and he turned back around, making his way towards the end of the yard where he could look for eggs with Emily.

Kurt felt an arm go around his shoulder, and Blaine pushed forward to kiss Kurt on the cheek before whispering in his ear:

"I love you and Im proud of you." He said softly, which had Kurt turning towards him and smiling before pecking Blaine on the lips gently.

"I love you too. Now help me finish to prepare this salad."

"Yes sir" Blaine answered, winking at Kurt, before making his way back towards the table where Carole was still laying everything down.

Kurt shook his head disbelievingly, wondering how he had gotten such a goofy man and followed Blaine towards the table with a huge grin on his face.

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

Kurt looked in the mirror one last time, making sure everything was perfect. The gown he was wearing was a light green color which wasnt really Kurts favorite color, but there is nothing he could do about it.

No one looks good in these anyway, thought Kurt before running his hand through his hair, trying to fix it just so. He saw Blaines reflection in the mirror and smiled and his boyfriend making his way towards him.

Blaine was also wearing the same green gown and his hair had been gelled down so that his cap would fit on his head. Be draped himself over Kurts back and both of his arms came around Kurts middle, resting on his stomach.

"I cant believe were graduating already." He said gently, smiling at Kurts reflection in the mirror.

"I know, I cant believe despite everything that happened, we managed to make it to graduation. Not too bad right? Plus, now I get to say Im dating a wonderful and hot young music teacher which will have all the boys and girls in his glee club swoon other him." Answered Kurt teasingly.

"Student-teacher" corrected Blaine. "And no one will be swooning. Plus, youre one to talk mister ‘I have a full time job in one of the most prestigious fashion company in the world."

Blaine had gotten a student-teaching position at a high school nearby, and he would be starting his new position as soon as the summer was over, while Kurt had gotten a full-time job at Vogue Magazine. It might not be his dream job yet seeing as Kurt was basically a receptionist for now, but Blaine was confident the other man would manage to climb the ladder and would one day be one kickass designer.

Both of them working would make it a little complicated to watch Emily and they would have to find a solution during the summer. Blaine still wasnt really happy with leaving Emily in the hands of a stranger, even though the little girl was doing a lot better and it would probably be good for her to meet other children her age. However, they still had the whole summer to figure this out and Isaac, Burt and Carole had all offered to help watch the little girl until they found a solution they were all happy with.

"I guess we are both doing pretty good then." Said Kurt, pulling Blaine out of his thoughts. "I say we make a pretty good team, good things seem to happen to both of us when we are together. Maybe we should stick together then uh?"

"If we must." Answered Blaine, sighing loudly, which had Kurt bumping him in the stomach with his elbow for the teasing.

"I wish we could sit together today." Said Blaine dreamingly, while before pressing a soft kiss to Kurts temple.

"You know we have to sit by alphabetical order honey. Thats how it always goes." Answered Kurt, squeezing Blaines arms where they still rested against his stomach.

"I know, but if we were Anderson-Hummel we could sit together..."said Blaine suggestively.

A huge smile made his way on Kurts face and the man turned around in Blaines arms and put his own arms around the other mans neck.

"One day babe, one day. And itll be Hummel-Anderson." He said happily, before he pressed a kiss to Blaines lips and made his way out of the room, leaving a smiling Blaine behind him.

A few hours later, Blaine walked on the stage to receive his diploma after his name was called up. While making his way towards the dean of the college, he looked back towards the crowd and smiled.

Sitting with the other graduates, Blaine could see Kurt who smiled and winking at him. A little further away, he could see Isaac who still had two years left of college before he could graduate sitting with Emily on his lap, and Burt and Carole which had come to cheer for both boys. He looked at his family and his heart swelled with love.

When Blaine received his diploma and shook the Deans hand, he had a huge smile on his face and the intensity of it didnt dim for the entire day. His life was almost perfect and he couldnt remember being happier.

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

Kurt and Blaine were holding hands and standing in front of the head stone. Blaine was holding Emily with one of his arms, and squeezing Kurts hand with the other, trying to push back the unpleasant memories which were making their way to the front of his mind.

It had been a year since Blaines life had been turned around and he had learnt that his sister had died. Blaine didnt come to the cemetery too often, having his hands full with Emily and still having many unresolved issues with his sister, but Kurt had insisted that it was important that they come today. That Blaine needed to grieve, and Emily needed to know who her mother was, even though she was too young to understand yet.

Blaine felt Emily wiggling in his arms, wanting to be let down, and he gently put her on the floor. Emily started running a little further away and playing with the flowers around her, not realizing the heavy atmosphere around her.

"Ill go and watch her." Said Kurt softly, before squeezing Blaines hand and dropping a kiss on his cheek. "I love you."

Kurt made his way towards Emily and Blaine was left standing in front of the grave by himself. Blaine sat down on the grass in front of the grave and just looked at it for a moment. After a few minutes of silence, he cleared his throat and started talking.

"Uh, hi Laura..." he said with a grave voice. "I know I havent been here much, and Im sorry for that. Life has been pretty busy, we have Emily and work and.... I was mad at you." He finally admitted. "Im sorry, but I was so so mad at you for such a long time. I was mad that you died, mad that I didnt get to help you, or say goodbye to you, mad that you never told me about Emily, mad that you let the drugs to this to you, mad that you neglected your daughter so much, mad that... I was just very mad, and Im sorry."

Blaine felt tears trickle at his eyes, but he ignored them and just kept watching the grave stone.

"I wish you could see Emily. She was in rough shape when we first met her, she didnt know how to walk or talk at all yet, and the doctors were a little worried about how she would develop, but shes doing so well now. I wish you could see how happy she is because in spite of everything, I know you would be happy to know that she is cared for. We love her so much, and I wish you could be there to love her too. Every day I am grateful that we have Emily in our life, but I still wish she still had her mother here, and I still had my sister."

Blaine used his sleeve to capture the tears that were silently running down his cheeks and cleared his throat.

"Im doing ok too. I started teaching recently, and my students are drama queens, one of my colleagues absolutely loathes me and the school is always threatening to close down my club, but all in all, I like it. The students make it worth it, and I still love music. Plus, Kurt takes care of me, of us. I wish you could meet him, I think you would have liked him. He was a little rough around the edges at first, and we didnt get along when we first met, but hes so wonderful and sweet and caring, and... I just love him so much. He is so good with Emily, and with me and Isaac. One day I am going to marry him, and I wish you could be there for that but... I guess I have to thank you in a way. If it hadnt been for you, Im not sure Kurt and I would have found our way together and I can never regret Kurt, or Emily."

Blaine turned around and he saw Kurt and Emily running around chasing a butterfly and he felt a smile grace his lips, even though he still had tears running down his cheeks. Blaine got up and dusted his pants a bit to get off the dirt from the floor, before turning back towards the grave stone.

"I guess what I came here to say is I miss you. Not the you that did drugs and neglected her daughter, but the real you who was kind and caring, and Im sorry that I didnt do more to help you, that I couldnt save you. I wanted to say that.... I forgive you. Im still mad sometimes, but I know it wasnt your fault and I just wish you could have known the kind of love and the family that I know now, Im sorry you didnt have the time to experience all of that. Im sorry we didnt have the time to reconnect and build back our relationship. I wanted you to know that I am happy and loved. That Emily is so perfect and so loved, and that I am taking good care of her. I miss you every day, but I hope that wherever you are right now youre happier. Ill come back soon, I love you sis."

Blaine put down the flowers that Kurt and he had gotten near the headstone and he pressed a kiss to his hand before pressing it to the grave.

Laura Anderson

A beloved sister, daughter, and mother.

Blaine looked one last time at the name graved in the stone, before turning his back and walking back towards where Kurt and Emily were playing further away. He would always miss and love his sister, even though it had taken him a while to forgive her, but he had a new family now. The scars would always be there, but with Emily, with Kurt and Isaac, he knew he would be just fine.

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

Kurt was sitting at the dining table and working on some stuff while Emily was happily munching on some fruit in her high chair when the door opened and Isaac made his way in.

"Hi guys, how are you?" he asked, making his way towards them and squeezing Kurts shoulder while he bent down to press a kiss to Emilys hair.

"Hating this whole magazine right now and some of its butt-headed designers, but Ill be ok. What about you?" asked Kurt, still focused on the papers he had in front of him.

"Im alright. Wheres B?" Isaac asked.

"In the kitchen Ise!" he heard Blaine shout from further into the apartment.

"Could you come out there for a moment Blaine? I need to speak to the both of you." He said uncertainly.

His nervous tone had Kurt lifting his head up from his papers and Blaine make his way in the living room quickly.

Kurt frowned and looked up towards Isaac.

"Are you sure youre alright Isaac? Did something happen?" he asked, a surge of protectiveness rising inside him.

"Im alright, dont worry Kurt. I just need to tell you guys something. Please sit B." Isaac said, while he remained standing and wiggled his hands together.

Blaine frowned a little too, but he sat next to Kurt and turned towards Isaac, wondering what the other man had to say.

"You know I love all three of you right? And you are my family, and I couldnt wish for a better one, and... I just love you so much. I dont say it often, but I do." Started Isaac nervously.

"We know Ise, whats going on?" asked Blaine, trying to reassure the other man and get him to say whatever he had to say.

"The thing is..... MarcaskedmetomoveinwithhimandIsaidyes." Isaac said quickly, looking towards the other two men in the room uncertainly.

"Can you repeat this one last time, and at human speed this time please?" asked Kurt, not having understood a word of what the younger boy had said.

Isaac took a deep breath, and repeated himself.

"Marc asked me to move in with him... And I said yes."

Silence followed Isaacs statement and Blaine felt Kurt tense next to him. He put his hand on Kurts leg beneath the table, trying to show his support.

"Please say something guys..." Isaac said.

"When..." Kurts voice broke, and he cleared his throat before trying to speak again. "When did he ask you to move in?"

"Well, we talked about it last night, and I dont know exactly when I would move, probably fairly soon..."

"And how are you going to pay for an apartment? Both you and Marc are still in school, and you have to focus on your studies..."

"I know Kurt, but dont worry." Isaac cut Kurt off, before the man would worry himself to death. "We both will still be going to school, but Marcs parents have money and they offered to pay for the place. Ill keep my student job and Ill help pay some of the expenses, we talked about it last night and we should be alright."

"Ok, ok... But, are you sure this is what you want? Im not really sure hes good enough for you and..." continued Kurt.

"What do you mean hes not good enough for me? You love Marc!" said Isaac indignantly, not understanding Kurts reaction.

Blaine saw that the situation was getting out of hand and decided to intervene before this conversation turned into a huge fight between the two.

"I think what Kurt was trying to say, was that we love you and well miss you. Plus, youre his brother. No one will ever be good enough for you in Kurts eyes, he wasnt trying to insult Marc at all. Right Kurt?" Blaine asked, prompting Kurt to speak by squeezing his knee a bit.

"Right." Said Kurt, his voice breaking a little.

Isaac saw the hurt and worry on Kurts face and his anger deflated instantly. Kurt and him had always lived together since they were kids, and Kurt was just being the protective older brother that he had always been towards Isaac and worrying about him. Isaac pulled out a chair a brought it next to Kurt, sitting next to the other man.

"I know youre worried Kurt, and I love you for it. Youll always be my brother, and that will always mean the world to me. But you and Blaine have a life together, and yes before you say anything, I know I am a part of that life, but youre both working now, and you have Emily. Plus, I really love Marc and I want to spend more time with him and get a chance to take our relationship to the next level. But dont worry, Ill still come around all the time! Ill still help with Emily, and Ill pop up so much you guys wont even have the time to miss me."

Kurt just looked at him for a while without saying anything. He could see that Isaac meant everything that he was saying and he knew this was a good thing for Isaac, but it still didnt make it any easier to know that he would have to say goodbye to him.

"Youll come by at least once a week? And youll call all the time?"

"You know I will. I cant stay away from you guys for too long. Plus, Ill still come and watch Emily often." Isaac reassured Kurt.

Kurt nodded, and suddenly he leaned forward and hugged Isaac tight in his arms.

"Im going to miss you so much, but Im so happy for you. Marc really is a good person." Kurt said, holding Isaac tight.

"Seriously, Im just moving a couple blocks away. Ill miss you too, both of you, but Im not dying." Isaac said when he pulled back, rolling his eyes and teasing Kurt.

Kurt punched his shoulder lightly and laughed.

"When are you moving out already? I dont think I can stand you staying around much longer."

"Ha ha, you know you love me old man." Isaac answered jokingly, prompting Kurt to punch his shoulder again and Blaine to laugh.

"Yes he does, and so do I. Ill seriously miss you Ise, although the apartment will be a lot cleaner!" teased Blaine.

Later in the night, Kurt and Blaine were both lying in bed and Blaine was playing with Kurts hair. The other man still had a bit of a hard time accepting that the man he saw like his baby brother was moving away, even if he hid it and was happy for Isaac.

"You know, with Isaac moving away, well have an extra room in the house. Do you think we should rent it again? Find someone new? Or should we keep it as a guest bedroom for when Isaac comes over?" asked Blaine.

"We could do that. Or..." started Kurt, uncertain of how Blaine would react. "We could try to look for a new smaller apartment, something a little closer to your school or my job or between the two. A place a bit smaller where you and I could have a bedroom and Emily could finally have her own room... What do you think?" Kurt asked, a little nervous about Blaines reaction.

They loved each other deeply and they both knew they were together for the long haul, but when you looked at it, they had only been together for a little over a year.

"Really? Thats something you would be interested in?" asked Blaine, beaming at Kurt. He knew that him and Kurt were it, but seeing the other mans reaction at Isaac moving out, he wasnt sure Kurt was really ready for them actually, truly moving in together.

"Absolutely. I love the idea of us having a place that is ours, and Emily officially having her place, you and I having a bedroom that belongs to the both of us. Ill always be worried about Isaac. Ive lived with him for so long, its a little hard for me letting him go and live his life, but it doesnt mean I dont want us to live ours. And now that Isaac is moving away, I see no reason why we couldnt officially find a place together and be a real family." Explained Kurt.

Blaine smiled and leaned forward, kissing Kurt softly on the lips. The love he felt for this man was so huge, he didnt know how it was possible sometimes, and he was insanely happy to hear that Kurt wanted the same things in life that he did.

"That sounds perfect. Just a thing though, we were already a family Mr. Hummel." Blaine said teasingly, before making his way on top of Kurt and kissing him deeply.

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

Blaine brought it another box into the apartment, and dropped it off in the middle of the living room with all of the others, before sitting on the couch with a loud sigh. Him and Kurt had been looking for an apartment for ages, and a month ago, they had finally found the perfect place.

The apartment was fairly close to Blaines high school, and right next to a kindergarten school where Emily would be starting next fall. The apartment had a big living room, a decent kitchen and a bathroom with a bath which would be a lot easier for Emilys bath time. It also had three bedrooms, a number on which both Kurt and Blaine had agreed on, deciding that it could be a guest room for now, and could eventually be turned into a room for future children, if they chose to have more, a prospect which pleased Blaine to no end.

The apartment was perfect, and although it needed a little decorating, the boys were already in love with the place and couldnt wait to properly settle in. However, moving meant carrying all of their stuff from one place to the other and after spending the entire day moving boxes, Blaine couldnt feel his arms anymore.

"Daddy, where this go?" asked Emily when she made her way into the room. She was carrying a plastic bag with some of her teddies inside, and she was extremely proud to be carrying some stuff in, just like her fathers.

"You can bring that into your room baby girl. Do you remember which one it is?" said Blaine, bending towards where Emily was standing and his knee and kissing the top of her head.

"Yes!" said Emily excitedly, before she ran towards her bedroom to put her toys away.

"Having a little rest arent we old man?" Said Isaac teasingly, having followed Emily inside the apartment.

"I cant feel my arms anymore. Should I be worried about this?" Blaine asked, massaging his arms.

Isaac rolled his eyes and put the box down, before he made his way to the couch and he pushed Blaine back, laughing at him.

"You really need to hit the gym more often man. What help does all of the boxing you used to do does if you cant carry a few boxes around?"

"A few boxes?!" said Blaine, indignantly. "Are you serious right now?"

Isaac laughed, but before he had the time to answer, he was interrupted by the arrival of Kurt and Marc who were each carrying a box, closely followed by Burt and Carole.

"Well, that was the last of it. We are officially moved in babe!" said Kurt, smiling towards Blaine.

Blaine smiled back in answer and he looked at Kurt lovingly. Isaac and Marc looking at each other and rolled their eyes. Even if Kurt and Blaine had been together for almost two years now, they would still get lost in each other and they were still as sickenly in love as they were at the beginning of their relationship.

"All done!" said Emily, interrupting them by coming back into the room.

"Good job princess, Im proud of you." Said Kurt lovingly, bending down to Emilys level to hug the little girl. Emily hugged him back, before she made her way towards the couch and pulled tried to climb it, before Blaine lifted her up and plopped her into his lap.

"Do you guys want to stay for pizza or something? We dont really have a fridge yet or anything, so we cant really feed you more than that, but...." Blaine started to say.

"Nah, its alright. My mum is expecting us for dinner anyway. Should we go babe?" asked Marc, turning towards Isaac. The other man smiled and nodded in answer.

"We should go too, leave you boys to settle in. Dont hesitate to call us if you need anything." Said Carole.

She kissed both Blaine and Kurt and hugged Emily tight, while Burt shook Blaines hand and hugged Kurt closely.

"Love you kiddoe. Good luck with all of the boxes." Burt said to Kurt. He bent down and hugged Emily and kissed the little girl on the cheek, before him and Carole made their way out as well, leaving Emily, Blaine and Kurt all alone.

Emily pressed a loud kiss to Blaines cheek, before she wiggled down from his lap.

"Daddy, can I go play?" she asked, turning towards Blaine and then Kurt.

"Of course you can go and play darling. Just stick with the toys that are already out and dont touch the big boxes on the side of your room okay princess?" said Kurt.

"Ok!" said Emily, before she made her way towards her brand new bedroom which had been painted a light blue.

Both Blaine and Kurt watched her leave with a fond smile on their face, before they turned back towards each other. Kurt made his way to Blaine, and when the other man opened his arms, Kurt dropped down and straddled his knees.

"How are you feeling Mr. Anderson? No second thoughts? Ready for the chaos that emptying all of these boxes will be?" asked Kurt, putting his arms around Blaines neck and caressing the other mans hair.

"Ill never be ready for that, but I guess it has to be done if we dont want to live out of cardboard plates and feed our daughter pizza for the rest of eternity. And I am feeling great Mr. Hummel." Blaine replied before pecking Kurt on the lips.

If he had his way, Kurt wouldnt be Mr. Hummel for much longer, Blaine thought while thinking of the ring he had hidden in the box where he had all of his schoolwork. He had this whole plan, and he couldnt wait to propose and for him and Kurt to finally be married.

Blaine had little doubt that Kurt would say no, although he couldnt help but feel a little bit nervous. Him and Kurt lived together, raised Emily together, and they had already talked about marriage and maybe having more kids together.

Kurt kissed him again, before he got up from the couch and he dragged Blaine up as well by pulling on his arms, before turning towards the endless number of boxes that seemed to be crowding their living room.

"I cant believe we finally managed to do it." Said Kurt softly, with a small smile on his face.

"Managed to do what?" asked Blaine, wondering what his boyfriend was talking about.

"To create a home."

Kurts answer had Blaine smiling and he took Kurts hand in his before squeezing it tightly and turning back towards the boxes. The apartment was a mess right now, and things wouldnt always be easy, but he couldnt wait to live the rest of his life with the wonderful man at his side. Kurt was his everything, his best friend, his family, his home, and he couldnt be happier.
