Finn and Carol had just been expecting the four of them but were surprised when Annie, Blaine and Edward came along too.
Annie and Edward had taken them all out to a fancy restaurant and paid for all the meals as a congratulations present. The Anderson were more well off than the Hummel family but they had never let this effect their relationship, especially Kurt and Blaine. After all, it was only Burt's income that was supporting both Kurt and Burt for so many years.
"To the merging of two wonderful families," Edward said, holding up his glass. "The Hummel-Hudson family."
"Cheers," the all cried and clinked glasses.
There was much to discuss and over the past week Kurt and Finn had been sat down with Burt and Carol to discuss the changes that were going to happen. Burt and Carol had decided together that they needed a bigger house for all of them, so that Finn and Kurt could have their own rooms.
They spent time together looking at houses together as a family.
Both Carol and Burt were happy to see Finn and Kurt getting along, joking with each other. Occasionally Blaine came along with them, Finn getting along well with Blaine too. Carol had been surprised when Burt had allowed Blaine to come along and even asked him his opinion on the house and if he liked it.
Eventually they had found a house that they all liked and had enough rooms for them all (even one for Blaine) and that was well in their price range.
Annie and Edward had come to the house and they had fallen in love with it. It was still close to the Anderson's home which both Kurt and Blaine were thankful for.
The house had been purchased and their other house put up for sale. They moved in pretty quickly with the help from the Anderson's. They got a good deal on their old house and the spare money went towards the honeymoon for Carol and Burt.
Next was the actual wedding. Neither Burt or Carol were really fussed, they just wanted good band that they could dance too.
"What about us?" Kurt suddenly asked.
"You?" Carol asked, confused.
"Not just me," Kurt said. "The Warbler's and New Directions? We could be the band! The Warbler's would be happy to perform."
"So would New Directions," Finn said, grinning. "It would be awesome."
Kurt nodded enthusiastically.
"It would be cheaper," Burt said. "and you kids do know a lot about music."
"Please!" Kurt begged and Burt chuckled.
"Of course kid," Burt said and Kurt squealed.
"Yes!" Finn cried, pumping the air with his fist. Carol laughed and smiled at the two boys.
"I'll let the Warbler's know," Kurt grinned.
"I'll tell New Directions," Finn said. "We'll make a time to meet up."
Burt and Carol smiled at the two of them as they made plans.
Sectionals had come and gone during the time that they had been looking for a house. New Directions were amazing with Quinn and Sam leading their first song while Santana took the other song.
New Directions had been amazed and blown away by the Warbler's. Blaine had lead them in their first solo and Kurt lead them in a duet with Nick in the second song. New Directions hadn't actually heard the Warbler's sing before and they were amazed how brilliant they sounded. Kurt had an amazing voice that was so beautiful. It was clear and strong and rang out over the audience.
New Directions had been worried but were relieved when they had tied together.
At their next Warbler meeting, Kurt raised his hand before they could start any business.
"Yes Warbler Kurt?" Wes asked and everyone turned to Kurt.
"I was wondering if I could as the council for a favour?" Kurt asked. David, Wes and Thad raised their eyebrows. Kurt had never asked for a favour. When he had first arrived he stayed in the background, Blaine being the first to break out of his shell and audition for a solo.
Kurt had followed soon after. Even though he didn't manage to get one, he was still glad that he tried out for it and took their advice well.
"What kind of favour?" Thad asked.
"Well, as you all know my dad proposed to Carol," Kurt said with a bright smile. "and for the wedding, all they want is good music that they could dance too. I was hoping that maybe you guys would come to the wedding and be the band. Finn is asking New Directions to perform as well so that you can all enjoy yourselves as well."
"Your dad wants us?" Thad asked, eyes wide.
"Yeah," Kurt said. "Dad's come to all our performances and he likes you all and he was happy for you guys to sing for the wedding. Only if you want too."
Kurt was starting to look a little unsure. They hadn't done this before. They had done competitions and sang for nursing home and places like that but never a wedding.
Kurt cast an unsure look to Blaine. Blaine smiled back reassuringly and Kurt turned back to the council.
"We'll do it," Wes said quickly and Kurt blinked in surprise.
"Yeah?" Kurt asked.
"All those in favour of performing for the Hummel wedding?' David asked and every Warbler raised their hand.
Kurt looked around with awe as the boys grinned at him.
"We'll be honoured to perform at your dad's wedding," Wes beamed and Kurt grinned back.
"Thank you," Kurt gushed. "Thank you so much."
"We'll even perform at yours and Blaine's too," Jeff quipped and both boys blushed.
"Just dad's at the moment," Kurt said and the boys sniggered.
"Excellent. Bring us the details for the next meeting and we'll help plan it," David grinned.
"I will and I'll let you know if New Directions will also be coming," Kurt said.
Wes nodded and banged his gavel.
"Let's get started," he said.
They practiced their songs for Regional's and made sure they had their dancing down before ending the meeting.
"Hey," Nick said coming up to Kurt and Blaine with Jeff. "Tell your dad we said congratulations."
"I will," Kurt beamed.
"So, you'll be planning the wedding?" Jeff asked with an amused smile.
"If Carol will let me help," Kurt said with a grin.
"He's been pulling out his wedding magazines," Blaine grinned and Kurt nudged him.
"Like you haven't been helping me," Kurt teased back.
"Tell him all the Warbler's say congratulations," Jeff added.
"I will," Kurt promised.
Kurt and Blaine headed to Kurt's car, the two of the having come together.
Blaine jumped in the driver's seat, Kurt's arm still in the cast. He was getting it taken off today, he and Blaine heading to the doctors to get it taken off.
Blaine drove them to the doctors, singing along to the radio.
They pulled in to the parking lot and headed into the doctors, Blaine scanning the area as they walked.
They had to wait a while before they were seen, the waiting room busy. They kept themselves entertained by doing a quiz in one of the magazines that was on the small table and reading the jokes inside them.
It only took a few minutes to get the cast off and then they were gone.
"It feels weird," Kurt said as they walked back to the car. "Like my arm is going to float away."
Blaine chuckled.
"That would be weird," Blaine chuckled.
Kurt turned his arm over, looking at it.
"It feels so gross too," Kurt whined, getting in the car.
"You can have a shower as soon as we get home," promised Blaine.
"That's not soon enough," Kurt grumbled.
They drove the new house and parked in the driveway.
"It's still weird," Kurt said as they headed into the house.
"You miss the old house?" Blaine asked.
"I miss that this house doesn't have memories of mum," Kurt said quietly. "but I love the house and that new memories will be made.'
"Your dad let you keep their old dresser," Blaine said as they climbed the stairs to Kurt's room.
"Yeah," Kurt smiled. "It still smells faintly of her perfume."
Blaine smiled sadly. He remembered how Elizabeth you to smell, always so beautiful, like a flower that just blossomed in spring.
They placed their bags on Kurt's bed and Kurt immediately grabbed some clean clothes and headed to the bathroom to shower.
Blaine started on his homework, lying on his stomach.
He heard footsteps and looked up. Carol knocked on the door and looked surprised.
"Oh, Hi Blaine," Carol smiled.
"Hi Carol," Blaine grinned. "How was your day?"
"Long and busy," Carol said, sweeping her hair off his face. "Is Kurt here?"
"In the shower," Blaine answered. "He got his cast off and couldn't wait to wash his arm."
"Of course," Carol smiled.
"He'll be out soon," Blaine said.
"OK, I'll just be down stairs," Carol said and turned around and walked back out. Blaine frowned. Carol had seemed...nervous almost, certainly surprised.
Kurt came in a moment later, hair damp and sticking up from where he had ran a towel through it. He beamed at Blaine and went and laid on the bed next to him. Blaine took Kurt's arm that had been in a cast and gently kissed his way up the arm.
Kurt giggled at the sensation.
"I feel so free," Kurt laughed.
"Oh I've missed this arm," Blaine cried dramatically and Kurt laughed.
"You're a dork," Kurt giggled.
Blaine waggled his eyebrows and Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Carol was looking for you," Blaine said.
"Oh? Where is she?" Kurt asked.
"Down stairs," Blaine said. Kurt made to roll off the bed but Blaine stopped him.
"What?" Kurt asked, confused.
"When she came up, she seemed surprised to see me here," Blaine said.
Kurt frowned.
"She's OK with us right? I mean, we were so focused on Finn we never really noticed if Carol was uncomfortable with us," Blaine said, looking unsure.
"No, dad would have noticed and said something," Kurt said. "I think she just may be surprised with how comfortable we are with each other. Finn and Quinn don't seem that way."
"Yeah," Blaine said, smiling. "your right. Sorry."
"Don't be silly," Kurt said softly and kissed him gently. "You're looking out for us and I love you for it. You always take such good care of us."
Blaine smiled and pecked him on the lips.
"You do the same," Blaine smiled. "Now, go see what Carol wanted."
Kurt winked and rolled off the bed and headed down stairs.
Carol was in the kitchen when Kurt went in.
"Hey Carol," Kurt said. "Blaine said you were looking for me."
"Oh, yes," Carol smiled. "I just wanted to ask you if the Warbler's agreed to the sing."
"Yeah, they did," Kurt said, grabbing a couple of diet cokes from the fridge. "When does Finn get home?"
"He had football after school so not for a while."
"OK," Kurt said.
"Oh and I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to help me shop for some wedding things," Carol said.
"I would love too," Kurt beamed. "You should ask Annie too. She would love to help you out."
"I will," Carol smiled.
Kurt beamed and headed up stairs. Kurt missed the nervous look that Carol gave to his back.
Carol was surprised by the intensity of Kurt and Blaine's relationship. They were so young and High School relationships barely lasted. Look at Finn and Quinn. They had been on the rocks for ages and Carol wasn't sure how much longer they would last.
Burt had the same rules as her. The door stays open if they had their partners in the room.
Kurt and Blaine both seemed like good kids that wouldn't get to carried away, it wasn't like either of them could get pregnant.
She had never seen anything like the two of them. She didn't have a problem that they were gay, she was worried that the two of them had fallen for each other too hard.
They were only young and had their whole live ahead of them. Carol moved about the kitchen for a while and decided to go check on the boys.
She quietly went up stairs and found that the door was still open wide.
The two of them had finished their homework and were flicking through a Vogue magazine that seemed to be a wedding issue.
"That's handsome," Kurt said.
"The suit or the model?" Blaine asked.
"Both," Kurt grinned cheekily. Blaine playfully growled and pinned Kurt to the bed.
"Blaine," Kurt gasped.
Blaine chuckled and pecked Kurt on the lips.
"You know," Kurt said. "You would look nice in that suit."
"As would you my dear," Blaine said. "You would make a very handsome groom."
"You too," Kurt beamed up at Blaine.
"I assume you would wear the white tux?" Blaine grinned.
"No," Kurt said. "It's not going to be a traditional wedding because we aren't really traditional are we? We'll wear what we are comfortable in."
"Even if I want to wear my hot pink sunglasses and suspenders?" Blaine asked with a cheeky grin.
Kurt chuckled.
"If you must," Kurt mock sighed but was unable to take the grin off his face.
"I'd marry you even if you were wearing a potato sack," Blaine said and Kurt scrunched his nose.
"I wouldn't be caught dead in a potato sack and you know it," Kurt said and Blaine chuckled.
Carol silently crept back down stairs, eyes wide with surprise. She definitely needed to talk to Burt.
