True to his word, Blaine had collected all his stuff a day after. He came during dinner and then spent almost an hour together with Kurt explaining to the kids about their current situation. Darren couldn’t accept the fact that his parents had separated and his Dad was going to live somewhere else while Christopher and Jessica couldn’t grasp the seriousness of the circumstances. Just by making Blaine promise to always be there for them, the twins were content. 

Today was the twins’ fourth birthday and Kurt of course had invited Blaine to the party. He was their Daddy after all. They had been parted for over a week now and although Blaine came by every day to their Upper East Side condo to see their kids, it wasn’t the same. The house was empty, the bed was cold and his life was lonely without Blaine. They were together for so long, starting as friends and then boyfriends and then they were married for eleven years. It wasn’t easy for Kurt to cope.

Surprisingly, after moving out, Kurt found out Blaine had been living with Cooper instead of Sebastian. Despite his words years ago about Broadway being lame, Cooper had joined the theater as well in addition to his TV and movie roles. 

Kurt had found himself in front of Juilliard more than a few times, doubting whether or not to go inside and confront Blaine all over again. They were still legally husbands and they weren’t getting divorced either because to everybody’s surprise, none of them filed for it.

The fact that Blaine had let Kurt have the kids without any fights, allowing Kurt have primary custody of the children even with Darren and Jessica since they were biologically Blaine’s had been bugging Kurt. There was a possibility Blaine didn’t want to detach Chris from his siblings. Moreover, regardless of not being identical and having different fathers, Christopher and Jessica were still twins. They were ‘neighbors’ when they were in the womb and they were conceived and came from the same mother. They were bonded in every way possible. 

“Daddy!” Kurt instantly gazed at the door when he heard Jess and Chris’ squeal Blaine’s name in delight. He was about to smile seeing the presence of the man he loved but then his smile abruptly died as he spotted Sebastian trailing behind his husband.

Kurt had the urge to punch that ridiculously tall yet thin ex-Warbler in the face when Cooper came to him and stopped him from doing anything stupid. Cooper was right. Today was about the twins — it was their birthday and Kurt wouldn’t let anything destroy the joyous moment. He was glad Cooper was being supportive. Despite being Blaine’s brother, Cooper was fully on his side.  

“Happy birthday, kiddos.” Blaine scooped the four-year-olds in his arms, kissing them noisily and sloppily.

Jessica giggled. “Where are our presents, Daddy?” She asked sweetly.

Kurt had tied his daughter’s curly blonde hair neatly into ponytail making Jessica Summer Anderson-Hummel the cutest girl in New York at that moment. She was wearing a pink gown with glitter on it. Her twin brother Christopher Austin on the other hand was a mess from running all over the house with his friends. He also had chocolate sauce stains on his face and his shirt.

“Yeah! I want presents too! You have to buy two presents, Daddy! One for me and one for Jess.” Christopher explained thoroughly.

Blaine chuckled, putting his children back on the floor. He could feel Kurt’s eyes were on him and also the rest of the guests were ogling him. He was grateful Kurt did this party at home where he could avoid awkwardness being in a public place. Things weren’t easy after he had called it quits. Paparazzi had been chasing and hunting him down like a bear during hunting season to get new scoops about his life after Kurt.

The twins clapped their hands happily as their Daddy gave them their birthday presents. Their eyes sparkled in glee as Blaine handed over two wrapped boxes to each one of them. “Two for me, Daddy?”

Blaine glanced down at Chris and Jess, smiling. “One from me and one from Uncle Sebastian for each of you.”

The four-year-olds quickly gazed at the tall man that stood next to their Daddy. Two pairs of innocent eyes intently focused on the new man in their lives. Blaine chuckled slightly seeing the shocked expression on his twins’ faces, like Sebastian was someone they should be scared of. Sure, the man was tall almost like Finn and it was intimidating to his babies. “Guys, this is my friend. His name is Sebastian. So I guess that makes him your Uncle Sebastian.”

“Hi.” Christopher spoke first.

“Hi.” Sebastian replied.

“My name is Christopher but my daddies, my aunts and uncles and my friends called me Chris. You can call me Chris too if you want. Thank you for the present, Uncle Seb.” The mini Kurt continued, talking nonstop while grinning. It wasn’t that he just looked exactly like Kurt; he was as friendly as his Papa as well. If only he knew how much his Papa loathed Sebastian.

“Nice to meet you, Chris.” Sebastian returned the kind gesture.

Jessica didn’t say a word. She hid behind Blaine’s pants and kept on peeking at the stranger. Being the only girl in the Anderson-Hummel household made her more reserved than her brothers. As soon as she spotted Cooper, she ran towards her favorite uncle, bringing the presents she got with her.  

Chris trailed after his younger sister, almost knocking over everyone in his way. “Uncle Coop! Uncle Coop, we got a new uncle! When Uncle Finn and Aunt Rachel come, you and Uncle Finn and Uncle Seb can play together!”

Blaine chortled at his boy’s enthusiastic. Speaking of his boy, where was Darren? Blaine realized he hadn’t seen his first born since he arrived.

“Blaine, can I speak to you?” A voice piped up, making Blaine turn and made him came face-to-face with a quite angry looking Kurt.

“Sure.” Blaine followed Kurt to the library/family room, shutting the door behind him. The living room, the dining room and the kitchen were full with people for the party. He could guess the reason Kurt brought him in to that room instead. It was quiet and proper for them to talk. “Where’s Darren? I haven’t see him—”

Kurt instantly barged in. “Darren is in his room. What are you doing?”

“What?” Blaine asked, confused.

Kurt huffed in annoyance. “Why did you bring Sebastian with you? People are talking! We haven’t separated for that long and yet you already have a new boyfriend, showing him off to everyone!”

Blaine snorted. “Let them be. It’s none of their business anyway.”

Kurt pressed probingly, mixed emotions written on his face. “You can’t do this to me, Blaine. You know how hard it is for me to see you with another man?! And with Sebastian of all people! Now you want him to be close to my kids? No. I won’t allow it.”

“He’s gonna be around our kids for quite some time so deal with it, Kurt.” Blaine told Kurt firmly.

Kurt looked away from Blaine, viewing out the window. “This is too much, okay? I don’t want him to be around them! They are my kids… Mine! He’s not going to take them away from me like he did with you! Show some compassion, will you? You destroyed our marriage and I’m not gonna stand by and watch you ruin the kids’ lives too. They don’t need your boy toy to be their dad, they have me!”

Kurt took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He frowned when he got no retort from Blaine. Lately Blaine usually fired back at everything he said, raging him more but right now it was total silent. He slowly turned to face his estranged husband and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Blaine out cold on the carpeted floor.

It took Kurt a moment to find his voice. “B-Blaine?”

“Blaine!” Realization finally hit him and Kurt dropped on his knees, screaming. He grasped and shook Blaine frantically but Blaine didn’t budge.

“Blaine…” Kurt whispered desperately, tears pouring out his face seeing the blue lips and the pallor of Blaine’s skin.

Kurt finally got up, hustled out of the room and shouting for help like a mad man. Next thing he knew, he was being pushed aside while a sea of people barreled into the room, surrounding Blaine. Cooper took control of the situation and Kurt could only watch in horror as Cooper started CPR on his little brother.
