"You're telling me you have more?" Blaine eyes widened as they read the latest magazine on the floor near the Television.
"Oh this is nothing, I have the whole collection back home," Kurt exclaimed, excited that Blaine loved Vogue as much as he did.
"All right kids we're going to eat dinner in about an hour, Blaine can I talk to you," Burt inquired as the family sat in the cabin watching TV.
"Sure," Blaine smiled. Blaine had been with the family for a month now, the whole time they were at the camp; and Burt knew what he had to do, but he needed to level out with Blaine first.
"Now Blaine, I've done research while I've been up here with the police about your family's where about, and it looks like you've been telling the truth, as it says your mother did die, on your record and I'm sorry to hear that, but the people at the police station have managed to find your father in Lima, Ohio, which is perfect for us because we live there, that means you can come back with us, are you getting all of this?" Burt asked as they were walking along the cabins outside in the dark. Blaine nodded slowly.
"So… you actually like me, like you wouldn't mind if I still hang out with Kurt?" Blaine asked with his golden hazel eyes shining like glitter in the moonlight as he looked at Burt holding his breathe.
"I was actually thinking…you might like to be part of this family, I meant what I said in the hospital Blaine, and you've proven to be someone that can fit in really well, Finn likes you, Carole likes you as her own son, and Kurt, well we know how he feels about you, we'd love to have you," Burt smiled. Blaine stopped walking as tears left his eyes.
"Really?" Blaine questioned not daring to hope.
"Really, really," Burt grinned.
"Oh…thank you Sir, I… wow,"
"However…," Burt started as Blaine looked up worriedly.
"I think you might like to check out what your father is like back home, as I mentioned, I done research, and you were right, he did live 9 hours away from the camp, but he moved to Lima, and he's made a lot of changes, would you like to stand up for yourself against your father? I'd be more than willing to go with you?" Burt asked seriously.
"He's not my father," Blaine muttered.
"What?"
"Burt, you've been more of a father to me, than he ever had, you're twice the man he ever is and Kurt is so very lucky to have you," Blaine added. Burt couldn't help but smile; he wrapped the kid in his arms for a tight hug, and messed up his black curls which Blaine didn't mind.
"You're a great kid, Blaine, and I'd be more than happy to call you my son," Burt assured.
Blaine stood quiet, actually speechless, but they already reached their cabin again by the time he said that. Carole opened the door to them, and Kurt immediately smiled when he saw Blaine and his father looking calm.
"Hey Blaine, I'll show you that Madonna video of Kurt when we get back to Lima," Finn winked when Kurt went to help Carole with dinner.
"Oh? Did you know I was coming back with you guys?" Blaine asked surprised. Finn nodded.
"Yeah, dad told me and mom, just not you and Kurt," Finn laughed.
"Why didn't he tell Kurt?"
"I think he wanted to surprise him, I don't know, it's all good bro, do you want that video?" Finn added as Blaine laughed.
"Oh yeah… I definitely do," Blaine grinned.
"Hey Blaine sweetie, would you turn of the TV we're going to have dinner now," Carole smiled gently.
Blaine nodded, feeling a little overwhelmed by the family routine he was getting used to, but every time he looked at Kurt, Kurt smiled back and that gave him courage; the word that kept both of them strong.
"Well it's the last night of the camp, before we head of too Lima, Kurt, I think you should know by now that Blaine is coming back with us, he'll be part of the family," Burt said as they ate dinner. Kurt's eyes were wide.
"Are you serious dad?" Kurt looked at Blaine who nodded. Kurt jumped out of his seat to his father in a hug, but only to run to Blaine for a bigger one, almost knocking him out of his chair.
Kurt had been crushing on Blaine since he met, and now that they were going to Lima together, he couldn't wait for Blaine to meet his friends, he just hoped that Blaine would feel the same way about him.
Blaine on the other hand had plans to win over Kurt, he was just waiting for the right time, now that Burt had giving him this opportunity, he sure as hell was not going to let go of it, Kurt was going to be his.
Finn looked at the two of the lunatics gazing at each other adoringly, they were so OBLIVIOUS. If they didn't do something soon, he wanted to see if he could. Hell, why else would he show Blaine the 4 minutes video when they got back? It's not like he'd give to anyone.
Carole smiled as she watched the family eat and chat in excitement. The family she had known of just her and Finn, had suddenly grown to this beautiful Hummel/Hudson household, and with Kurt and Blaine, she hoped to see a wedding in the near future, New York appeared to be making gay marriage legal, and the chemistry was just so adorable. Finn was moving it slow with Rachel, but you never knew what happened.
Who would have guessed a camping trip would gain them a new family member? Burt thought. Yeah he was going to have to work harder, but it was worth it, when he looked down at the three boys playing footsie under the table. Sometimes he thought they were just little kids.
"Boys, no kicking under the table!" Burt protested. The boys stopped immediately, glaring at each other, to say it wasn't over. Yeah, it was great being a father.
