Blaine turned to Kurt, eyes wide with surprise. They were walking through the streets of New York, Paige between them, holding onto their hands and every few minutes they would lift her into the air and then lower her back down to her feet. Each time she would giggle and cry 'Higher! Higher!' and they would comply, unable to resist her childish charms.

"Really?" Blaine asked, surprised and Kurt nodded. Blaine could see that he was nervous with revealing this and Blaine grinned widely. "I would love to meet your dad."

"You do?" Kurt breathed, his face lighting up with relief.

"Of course I do," Blaine grinned. "When is he coming up?"

"Next weekend. He's not sure if Carol can make it, but hopefully she can," Kurt grinned and Blaine nodded.

"I'm not working that weekend so it's perfect," Blaine grinned. "I can't wait."

Kurt grinned and Paige tugged on their hands, indicating she wanted to be lifted into the air again.

"One – two – three," they cried in unison and Paige laughed loudly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was no doubt that Blaine was nervous about meeting Kurt's father. He desperately wanted the man's approval and to show how much he cared about his son. Taking a deep steadying breath, Blaine knocked on the door loudly and waited patiently. The door opened to reveal Paige and he grinned brightly at her.

"Blaine!" She cried and grabbed his hand tugging him in. Blaine chuckled and shut the door behind him and let himself be pulled into the room. He glanced around and saw two unfamiliar faces but then Kurt was in front of him, pulling him into a soft kiss and smiled breathlessly at him.

"Hi," Kurt beamed.

"Hey," Blaine grinned back, starting to feel much more relaxed in Kurt's presence. Kurt seemed to have that affect on him. Where ever he was, he felt he could be himself with Kurt's presence. At his old station he had to hide who he was for fear of inter office harassment that had already began when they found out his was gay.

"Blaine this is my dad Burt and this is my step-mother Carol," Kurt introduced. Blaine smiled and shook their hands and was relieved to see them smiling at him.

"It's so nice to meet you Blaine," Carol greeted him warmly. "Kurt's told us all about you."

Kurt blushed and Blaine grinned at him, nudging him playfully.

"It's nice to meet you too," Blaine grinned. Kurt was pleased that Blaine fell into conversation easily with Burt and Carol while Paige wanted Kurt's attention.

Carol joined Kurt in the kitchen and they made dinner together while Burt and Blaine fell into a conversation about the Buckeyes. Kurt smiled brightly at Carol as he listened to them speak with each other, as if they had known each other for years rather than minutes. While Kurt was occupied in the kitchen, Burt took this opportunity to talk privately to Blaine.

"You've been seeing Kurt for a while now?" Burt asked and Blaine nodded.

"Nearly eight months," Blaine smiled. "I love your son Mr Hummel."

"Call me Burt," he grinned. "Thank you."

"For what?" Blaine asked, confused.

"For making Kurt smile again. Making him happy and being good to Paige."

"I love them both and would never do anything to hurt them," Blaine promised and Burt nodded.

"I know you won't," Burt smiled. "If you ever need anything, just ask."

"I will Burt," Blaine grinned and Burt clapped him on the shoulder.

"But hurt my son; cop or not I will come after you," Burt warned and Blaine swallowed.

"Understood," Blaine nodded and Burt chuckled.

"Dad stop threatening Blaine," Kurt huffed and they both turned to see Kurt there with his hands on his hips.

"I wasn't threatening him," Burt defended. "I was just telling him what would happen if he hurts you."

"Blaine isn't going to hurt me," Kurt rolled his eyes. "Or Paige. So stop scaring him and come eat dinner because it's ready."

Burt grumbled and got up, moving to the table. Kurt took Blaine's hand and helped him up and Blaine smiled softly at Kurt.

"It's okay baby," Blaine chuckled. "I like your dad. He's really nice."

"I'm so sorry about that," Kurt winced and Blaine chuckled.

"Don't be. I expected it," Blaine assured him. "Now dinner smells delicious so let's go eat."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinner was fun event and went smoothly, Blaine getting alone well with both Burt and Carol. He was able to talk to them about everything from their work to what they had been up too since Kurt and Finn had moved out. Burt and Carol tucked Paige into bed that night, reading her a story while Blaine and Kurt cleaned up the dinner mess. They stayed a little while longer, getting to know Blaine before calling it a night and heading to their hotel.

"Dinner was amazing Kurt," Blaine told him as they snuggled up together in bed that night, Kurt arms wrapped around Blaine's waist and holding him securely to his chest.

"Mmmm it was good wasn't it," Kurt hummed happily.

"I really like you parents too," Blaine smiled.

"They liked you," Kurt smiled. "They liked you a lot."

"I'm glad," Blaine nuzzled into Kurt, tangling their legs together so it looked impossible to see who started where.

"You're lucky you have a nice family," Blaine murmured and Kurt rubbed his hand along Blaine's arm.

"It was just me and dad for a long time," Kurt said quietly.

"But you got a nice step-mother and a nice step-brother who is very protective of you," Blaine told him. "and your dad is very supportive of our relationship."

"You're parents aren't okay with you being gay?" Kurt asked.

Blaine shrugged. "My mum was okay but my dad – he wasn't that thrilled. Tried to set me up with girls all the time, hated it whenever I brought a boy home. In the end I stopped bringing boys home, even if they were my friends because dad always go the wrong impression."

"I'm sorry," Kurt whispered and Blaine linked their hands together.

"It's okay. I had my brother, Cooper. He was very supportive and took care of me. He hated that he had to leave me to go to college but he always made sure to come and visit" Blaine smiled. "I want you to meet him soon."

"I would like that," Kurt smiled against Blaine's shoulder.

Blaine's eyes slipped closed and he hummed with content, Kurt holding him tighter , his eyes closing too.

"I love you Kurt," Blaine slurred and Kurt smiled.

"Love you too Blaine."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Blaine is so handsome and so sweet," Carol gushed as she and Burt got ready for bed. "and Kurt! He's so happy. I haven't seen him smile like that in a long time."

"Blaine is a good bloke," Burt nodded, slipping into under the covers with a small grunt. "He's good for Kurt and Paige and vice versa."

"They're so in love," Carol giggled, slipping in next to Burt and cuddling up next to him. "They both looked so happy. Paige adores him too."

Burt smiled and wrapped and arm around Carol.

"They're both very lucky," Burt chuckled and Carol giggled softly.

"I'm just happy to see him back on his feet," Carol smiled.

"You and me both," Burt smiled and they sighed happily.

Blaine was good for Kurt and Burt was so happy for the both of them. He knew that they would last and Burt wouldn't be surprised if they moved in together soon.
