Author's Notes:

Chapter 84 - Surprise

"We've got another stack of them!" Blaine called out as he came in from the mailbox.

"I've got the computer out now, so we might as well go through it now before Dad and Carole get us for dinner."

"Senator Giles, yes, two, Mr and Mrs. Fenwick, yes, two, Senator Fields, yes, one." Blaine kept flipping through each response card and was shocked. "Did anyone say no?"

"I don't think so and now don't freak out, but we got a few calls from reporters and magazines."

"What?" Blaine was shocked.

"Ellen did warn us Blaine."

Blaine plopped himself down on the sofa covering his face with his arm. "Our wedding is turning in to a huge circus. What's next? Elephants on the field?"

Kurt giggled. "I know. Remember what we said. No matter how many people and how many photographers, it will still be a special day. It's our day, right?" Kurt curled in to Blaine side. "I love you. It's important to our parents and your grandparents. I think we can be thankful that they have such great friends, supporters and colleagues."

"I guess so." Kurt hugged Blaine tightly from the side. "Okay. I know you're a little upset, but I want to talk about something very serious."

"What is it?" Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt."

"First, you have to promise not to freak out." Kurt was firm as he directed Blaine. Blaine needed to be level headed to listen properly to what Kurt was going to ask him.

"Now how am not supposed to freak out? You're freaking me out." Blaine tried to pepper kisses on Kurt's face, but Kurt moved his hands to Blaine's shoulders and held him firmly at a clear distance. Blaine's distress was clear across his face. "What?"

"Don't freak out. Okay?"

"Okay. I promise." Blaine looked down, but Kurt lifted his face back up by his chin. "Fine. You know I can't stop freaking out. What is it?"

"What am I ever going to do with you Blaine. Can you promise to listen carefully since you refuse to not freak out?"

Blaine's shoulders slumped and he let out a breath. "Yes. I'll try."

Kurt tried to smile but it ended up looking like pursed lips. "That's the best I can ask then." Kurt stopped as if to gather his thoughts. He was desperately trying to find the right words that would make Blaine understand how much he loved him. Deep in his heart, he wanted Blaine to say no, but he couldn't deny Blaine the opportunity to say yes. "Okay. I'm not sure of the best way to ask this, so I'm just going to ask it. Would it make you feel better if we had a prenuptial agreement?"

The words hung heavy in the room. Blaine looked like he was thinking about what Kurt just asked him. Kurt couldn't find any proper words to fill the silence that he just created. "Um." That was all that Blaine said for a good minute. Then he shook his head. Blaine was now in a position to make things really bad, but he wanted to find the right words that would make the situation okay. "How long have you been thinking about that?"

"Awhile. I was looking for the right time to bring it up. Turns out that there is no right time." Kurt looked everywhere but into Blaine's eyes. He didn't want Blaine to see the hope in his eyes. The hope that Blaine would say no. He wanted Blaine to make the proper decision for himself. Not what Kurt wanted him to say and not what he thought was the right thing to do. "I just think you should know that I would understand. You bring so much to this relationship. I just offer you, let say, less than you offer me."

Blaine closed his eyes as he needed to think. At least, that's what Kurt thought he was doing. "I think I was pretty clear what you are to me Kurt. I love you. Every bit of you."

"I know you do." Kurt ran his fingers into Blaine's curls. His face kind and his fingers gentle, Kurt would always love him, yes or no. "I love you just as much, but you have to admit. I bring a bit less to the table."

"That's where you're so wrong sweetheart. I thought you understood how I felt about you." Blaine was kind, but his features changed a little and he stopped talking. Kurt begged for words to fill the void. He begged for Blaine to tell him he was crazy. "Is that what you want?"

"It shouldn't be my decision. It should be yours."

"Well, then I think you should know that I'm offended by the question." Kurt tried to speak but Blaine just kissed him. "Let me finish. I'm offended by the question, but I appreciate why you're asking."

"It's your family money. I don't ever want you to think I stayed because of the money." Kurt continued. "I love you. I just want you to know that I would love you if we were dirt poor."

"I know. Remember why we're together. We're together because you make me want to be a better person. You make me want to succeed. You are my perfect match. I know you're not here because of money."

"I'm not. I'm here for you."

"I know." Blaine saw in Kurt's eyes the hopes he had with bringing up the question. "I know how hard that must have been to ask. I appreciate why you asked, but the answer is no."

Kurt tried not to smile, but his heart was beating. It's wasn't beating. It was pounding. "Are you sure?" Kurt hoped and prayed that he would hear the affirmative. "I wanted to ask because I knew you would never suggest it and you would never tell me if your family has asked you about it."

Brian just kissed Kurt on the lips heart. "My family didn't suggest it either." He could feel Kurt's heart pounding. "You're heart's beating so hard." Blaine started to unbutton Kurt's shirt, kissing the exposed skin. As he worked each one open.

"I was nervous about your answer." Blaine mumbled some type of response as his tongue circled Kurt's nipple. "Blaine!"

"Hmm? You don't like that?" He repeated it then sucked hard biting gently before kissing the middle of his chest, letting his lips linger over his beating heart.

"Oohh, you know I do. I love it when you do that." He giggled because Blaine had begun to pepper kisses on his belly. "You're tickling me."

"I know." Kurt could feel Blaine smiling as he started to unbutton Kurt's pants.

Kurt stopped him by grabbing his hands. "We can't. We have to go."

"Aww." Blaine stuck his bottom lip out and pouted. "But I want to."

Kurt looked down at his fiancé with his pouty face. "You're so silly."

"You don't want me to suck you?"

"You know I do, but not right now."

"But I want to right now." Those puppy dog eyes always melted his heart.

"I know, but my parents will be here in .." Kurt lifted his arm up to see his watch. "...about three minutes."

Just then the doorbell rang. Blaine hung his head over Kurt's crotch and kissed his half hard cock through his pants. Then he whispered loud enough that Kurt could hear. "I'll see you later."

Kurt laughed. "You're pathetic."

"Because I love you dick?"

Kurt just shook his head as he stood and started to button his shirt up. "I'm going to run to the bathroom and make sure I'm not all disheveled. They'll know."

Blaine got the door and by the time Kurt returned, Burt and Carole were sitting. "So, ready son?"

"Don't I look ready?" Kurt was such a worry wart.

"Of course you do. Since when is Kurt Hummel not ready and dressed to the nines." Burt and Carole stood and walked toward the door.


Carole was not shocked in the least. "You have seven hundred twelve accepts and twenty-eight declines already?"

"I was shocked since we sent them out only last week. Every day Blaine grabs the mail, there are more responses in there." Kurt was sipping his Diet Coke. "I think there are only a few hundred that are still outstanding. At this rate, we'll be able to give Ellen the numbers to give to all the people in a few weeks."

"Honey. I have time to organize all of that for you. When your dad is off doing his thing at the Capitol, I can do it. You need to study for your last finals anyway." Carole looked so hopeful.

"I kind of wanted to do it."

Blaine recognized Kurt's need to control everything and the need that Carole had to be useful to someone. After all, Finn didn't need her to wait on him hand and foot. She didn't work when she went to Burt to the Capitol. "You know Kurt. It might be nice for Carole to do it. She can send you the final list so that you can start to work on seating. Don't you think it would be a good way for her to be involved and keep busy when she's not doing volunteer work, right?"

Kurt could see Blaine trying to run interference yet he continued. "I'd kind of like.."

Blaine cut in. "Honey, you have finals and Carole's right, you need to study. You'll be plenty busy when all the responses are in. Think about all the final planning you have too. By the time we're done at school you'll have only a few weeks to get everything in the proper place. I think it's a great offer."

Kurt smiled, a fake one at best. "Okay, I agree. You're right." He turned to Carole. "So how do you want to do this?"

"Oh, well, I'll be home for the next few weeks."

"I'll drop them off on my way to school. Sound good?"

"Perfect Honey. Thank you for letting me help." Carole looked extremely happy. "It's good to feel needed."

They continued with dinner as the talk turned to the last few weeks of school and what the boys have planned.


End April

"Dad wanted to see us." Kurt was telling Blaine. Kurt looked worried. "He sounded off. I'm not sure what it is, Blaine. What if he's sick. What if he's dying." Kurt had himself in a frenzy. "He can't die before the wedding. He can't die period. I can't be an orphan Blaine. I'm too young to be an orphan." He started to pace and breathe heavy.

"Kurt, calm down baby. You're going to hyperventilate. Don't worry." Blaine tried to stop Kurt from pacing but it just got worse until he was hyperventilating. "Kurt?"

Kurt was freaking out. "I c-can't b-breathe. H-h-help.." He fell to his knees wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Come here. I'm right here." Blaine knelt in front of him.

"Can't breathe, B-b..." Kurt was really losing and started crying. Tears were streaming down his face and there was alarm in his eyes.

"Look at me." Blaine held his face still. "Look at me. Just me, baby."

"k"

"Breathe. Deep breath with me." Blaine remained calm.

"C-can't"

"DO IT Kurt!" Kurt looked shocked but did what Blaine said. "Breathe with me. Right now." He breathed with Kurt. "Again." They did again. They repeated it a few more times until Kurt was calmed. Blaine held his head in his palms. "You okay?"

"Yeah. I think so. Thank you ." Kurt laid his head on Blaine's shoulder breathing in his scent.

"No thanks necessary. I love you. Are you sure you're okay?" Blaine patted his head gently. And kissed the side of his head. "Look at me. I need to see my baby blues."

Kurt looked at Blaine. "Satisfied?"

"It's not a joke. I worry about you when that happens." Blaine kissed Kurt's forehead. "I love you so much. Now that you're calm, why are you so worried?"

"Dad wants us to come over, but didn't say why. When I asked him, he just said to come over."

"It's doesn't mean anything baby. He just wants to see us. It's probably about the wedding or graduation." Blaine soothed Kurt by rubbing circles into his back.

"Okay. You're probably right."

"I know I'm right. Now let's go. And promise me you'll be calm."

"I promise."


"Hi boys." Carole hugged them both.

"Hi Carole. What is it?" Kurt refused to wait.

"What did I tell you Kurt."

"I know. Carole is dad okay? I'm so worried. He wouldn't tell me anything."

"He's watching TV in the family room. You go on ahead. I'll be right there."

He looked at Blaine with worry. Blaine shook his head and whispered, "don't worry."

They walked in to the family room.

"SURPRISE!" There was a room full of their friends and family.

Kurt's smile grew wide. Blaine squeezed his hand. "Oh my God." He turned to Blaine. "Did you know?"

"No. I didn't."

"We missed you boys so much!" Ellen wrapped her arms around Kurt and then repeated with Blaine. "You never visit."

"Grandmother, we're going to go up there two weeks before the wedding and stay except for graduation weekend that is." Blaine responded.

"But we miss you." Ellen continued.

Jack nudged her. "Ellen, you can't monopolize the couple of honor." Jack pushed in to Hug Kurt and shake Blaine's hand before hugging him too. "Ellen's right though, you boys have been avoiding us. We miss you."

"Granddad.."

"I know.. I know. You'll be there soon. I'm just kidding. You graduate and come to my house and get married. Then you can move to Florida and be famous." Blaine smiled at that, but Jack turned and winked at Kurt. "I meant him."

"Thanks Jack. Now he's going to stay up worrying." Kurt laughed. Blaine elbowed him lightly in the side.

"Dad, you're monopolizing the couple we're celebrating."

Blaine smiled. It was so nice to really have his dad. Not like in high school where he didn't really accept him but was just there. He really had his dad, and Kurt was part of the reason he had his dad back. "Dad." Hi dad pulled him into a real hug. A really strong loving hug. "I can't believe everyone is here."

"How could we miss the engagement party." JR responded.

Catherine pulled him into a hug. "Blaine, honey, you look wonderful and Kurt, you look fabulous as always." She moved to hug Kurt.

"Kurt, are you keeping him in line?" JR asked.

"It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it." They laughed as he hugged Kurt.

It was crazy. There were so many people there. Across the room, Kurt saw his dad. "Dad!" He made his way through the crowd. "Dad. How did you plan all of this without anyone telling us."

"Surprisingly enough, Finn and Carole did it, with Rachael's help." Burt was very serious. "I want to talk to you in private, Kurt. Can we go in the kitchen."

"Oh no. I knew it."

"Don't worry Bud. I've got a gift for you." Kurt followed Burt into the kitchen. He went to a drawer and pulled out a box. Kurt looked at it. It was an old box. He waited for Burt to speak. "This is very special to me Kurt. Open it."

When Kurt opened it, it was an old set of cufflinks. "Are these silver cufflinks?"

"Yes, but what makes them special Kurt, is that you're mom gave them to me. They were her fathers and her grandfathers before that. Now, I'm handing down to you. I know your mom, if she were alive today, would be so proud of you. I hope she thinks I did okay raising you." Kurt's eyes were filled with tears. "You did great dad. You were the best dad, ARE the best dad anyone could have asked for. I feel so lucky to have had you for a dad."

"Kurt." Burt was crying too. "I tried my best. I tried to do what Elizabeth would have expected me to do. I tried to do what she would have done."

"It was great dad. We were a great team."

"And now you and Blaine are going to make a great team. I know it. That boy, I mean, man loves you." Burt hugged his son so tightly. "He's a lucky guy to have you."

"I'm lucky too. He's so good to me and we're really happy dad."

"I know you are son." Burt kissed him on the forehead. "You're all grown up, You're going to be amazing in New York Kurt. It's going to be hard, just like everything else was, but I know you'll come through with flying colors."

Kurt just nodded, too misty to say anything further. It was then that JR came in to the room. "OH Kurt. Just the man I'm looking for. I have something for you."

Burt looked uncomfortable. "I'll just.."

"No, Burt, you stay." JR reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. Kurt looked worried for a second. "This is something for you for the wedding. Burt told me what he was giving you so Catherine and I decided to get you something new."

"You guys planned all of this."

"We have to plan or it we might end up getting something the same." JR stated simply.

Burt laughed and then turned to JR. "We can't get that."

"It's okay."

"If you say so JR. Who am I to deny them."

Kurt was confused with the cryptic discussion. "What?"

JR brushed it off quickly. "Nothing. Don't worry." He then pushed the box toward Kurt. "Open it. I think you'll like it."

Kurt opened it to find a sterling silver bracelet with two dangles on it, one with his own birthstone and one with Blaine's birthstone. "This is perfect." Kurt wrapped his arms around JR's neck kissing him on the cheek then blushed a little for overreacting, even though he wasn't.

"So, you like it?" JR responded with a blush.

"You know I do." Kurt closed up the box. I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.

Kurt was so excited. Borrowed and Blue were left.

An hour later found the couple sitting in the room with presents all around them. "Thank you so much for a place setting. Now we have two. Enough for the two of us."

Finn stood up. "I hope you'll consider this." He had the goofiest smile on his face. Rachael patted his hand.

Kurt gave him a look and then he looked at Blaine as they opened the box together. When they both looked inside the box they had puzzled looks on their face. "Um Finn?" Kurt looked so confused. "Why did you give us a box of socks that look like they've been in your drawer?"

Finn had the goofiest smile on his face as everyone waited to him to respond. "They're my socks." He said proudly.

"Okay." Blaine held one up in question. "What are we supposed to do with them."

"You guys aren't as smart as I thought you were." Finn said very smugly. He looked around the room for someone to pick up on it. "It's your something borrowed!" He threw his hands up in the air.

Kurt took the sock from Blaine and held it up questioningly. "Thank you?"

The whole room laughed as they continued with gifts. They got his and his towels, his and his towels and his and his pillow cases. Rachel finally said. "Maybe people could've gotten you initials if you'd tell us what last name you're taking."

Kurt ducked his head and then looked at Blaine. "We haven't made a final decision... But we will, before the wedding."

Finally all the gifts were opened except for on gift that looked like an envelope. Blaine and Kurt opened it up to find car keys. Blaine looked at the card. "From Granddad and Grandmother." He looked up. "You got us a car?"

"We thought it would be something of sentimental value." Jack smiled and looked at Ellen who was grinning as wide as Blain had ever seen.

When they got to the driveway, there sat a Maserati GranCabrio in blue. "OH MY God." Kurt could barely contain himself. "Oh My God. I can't believe it. It's the car Blaine."

"The car we rented in Europe." Blaine hugged Kurt. They loved that damn car when they rented it. They made love several times in it.

Kurt hugged Blaine back but his eyes never left the car. He noticed something very specific about it and whispered, "It's blue."

Jack came up behind them and wrapped his arms around the shoulder on each boy. "We thought you could drive to the ceremony in it."

"Granddad." Blaine was taken aback. "How can we..."

"Accept it. You have to. I had it shipped all the way here, but I got a good deal on it because its used."

Blaine and Kurt held hands and kissed gently on the lips. When they parted they both said together, "We accept."

"We've got another stack of them!" Blaine called out as he came in from the mailbox.

"I've got the computer out now, so we might as well go through it now before Dad and Carole get us for dinner."

"Senator Giles, yes, two, Mr and Mrs. Fenwick, yes, two, Senator Fields, yes, one." Blaine kept flipping through each response card and was shocked. "Did anyone say no?"

"What am I ever going to do with you Blaine. Can you promise to listen carefully since you refuse to not freak out?"

"Dad wanted to see us." Kurt was telling Blaine. Kurt looked worried. "He sounded off. I'm not sure what it is, Blaine. What if he's sick. What if he's dying." Kurt had himself in a frenzy. "He can't die before the wedding. He can't die period. I can't be an orphan Blaine. I'm too young to be an orphan." He started to pace and breathe heavy.

"Kurt, calm down baby. You're going to hyperventilate. Don't worry." Blaine tried to stop Kurt from pacing but it just got worse until he was hyperventilating. "Kurt?"

Kurt was freaking out. "I c-can't b-breathe. H-h-help.." He fell to his knees wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Come here. I'm right here." Blaine knelt in front of him.

"Can't breathe, B-b..." Kurt was really losing and started crying. Tears were streaming down his face and there was alarm in his eyes.

"Look at me." Blaine held his face still. "Look at me. Just me, baby."

"k"

"Breathe. Deep breath with me." Blaine remained calm.

"C-can't"

"DO IT Kurt!" Kurt looked shocked but did what Blaine said. "Breathe with me. Right now." He breathed with Kurt. "Again." They did again. They repeated it a few more times until Kurt was calmed. Blaine held his head in his palms. "You okay?"

"Yeah. I think so. Thank you ." Kurt laid his head on Blaine's shoulder breathing in his scent.

"I know I'm right. Now let's go. And promise me you'll be calm."

"I promise."


"Hi boys." Carole hugged them both.

"Hi Carole. What is it?" Kurt refused to wait.

"What did I tell you Kurt."

"I know. Carole is dad okay? I'm so worried. He wouldn't tell me anything."

"He's watching TV in the family room. You go on ahead. I'll be right there."

He looked at Blaine with worry. Blaine shook his head and whispered, "don't worry."

They walked in to the family room.

"SURPRISE!" There was a room full of their friends and family.

Kurt's smile grew wide. Blaine squeezed his hand. "Oh my God." He turned to Blaine. "Did you know?"

"No. I didn't."

"We missed you boys so much!" Ellen wrapped her arms around Kurt and then repeated with Blaine. "You never visit."

"Grandmother, we're going to go up there two weeks before the wedding and stay except for graduation weekend that is." Blaine responded.

"But we miss you." Ellen continued.

Jack nudged her. "Ellen, you can't monopolize the couple of honor." Jack pushed in to Hug Kurt and shake Blaine's hand before hugging him too. "Ellen's right though, you boys have been avoiding us. We miss you."

"Granddad.."

"I know.. I know. You'll be there soon. I'm just kidding. You graduate and come to my house and get married. Then you can move to Florida and be famous." Blaine smiled at that, but Jack turned and winked at Kurt. "I meant him."

"Thanks Jack. Now he's going to stay up worrying." Kurt laughed. Blaine elbowed him lightly in the side.

"Dad, you're monopolizing the couple we're celebrating."

Blaine smiled. It was so nice to really have his dad. Not like in high school where he didn't really accept him but was just there. He really had his dad, and Kurt was part of the reason he had his dad back. "Dad." Hi dad pulled him into a real hug. A really strong loving hug. "I can't believe everyone is here."

"How could we miss the engagement party." JR responded.

Catherine pulled him into a hug. "Blaine, honey, you look wonderful and Kurt, you look fabulous as always." She moved to hug Kurt.

"Kurt, are you keeping him in line?" JR asked.

"It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it." They laughed as he hugged Kurt.

It was crazy. There were so many people there. Across the room, Kurt saw his dad. "Dad!" He made his way through the crowd. "Dad. How did you plan all of this without anyone telling us."

"Surprisingly enough, Finn and Carole did it, with Rachael's help." Burt was very serious. "I want to talk to you in private, Kurt. Can we go in the kitchen."

"Oh no. I knew it."

"Don't worry Bud. I've got a gift for you." Kurt followed Burt into the kitchen. He went to a drawer and pulled out a box. Kurt looked at it. It was an old box. He waited for Burt to speak. "This is very special to me Kurt. Open it."

When Kurt opened it, it was an old set of cufflinks. "Are these silver cufflinks?"

"Yes, but what makes them special Kurt, is that you're mom gave them to me. They were her fathers and her grandfathers before that. Now, I'm handing down to you. I know your mom, if she were alive today, would be so proud of you. I hope she thinks I did okay raising you." Kurt's eyes were filled with tears. "You did great dad. You were the best dad, ARE the best dad anyone could have asked for. I feel so lucky to have had you for a dad."

"Kurt." Burt was crying too. "I tried my best. I tried to do what Elizabeth would have expected me to do. I tried to do what she would have done."

"It was great dad. We were a great team."

"And now you and Blaine are going to make a great team. I know it. That boy, I mean, man loves you." Burt hugged his son so tightly. "He's a lucky guy to have you."

"I'm lucky too. He's so good to me and we're really happy dad."

"I know you are son." Burt kissed him on the forehead. "You're all grown up, You're going to be amazing in New York Kurt. It's going to be hard, just like everything else was, but I know you'll come through with flying colors."

Kurt just nodded, too misty to say anything further. It was then that JR came in to the room. "OH Kurt. Just the man I'm looking for. I have something for you."

Burt looked uncomfortable. "I'll just.."

"No, Burt, you stay." JR reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. Kurt looked worried for a second. "This is something for you for the wedding. Burt told me what he was giving you so Catherine and I decided to get you something new."

"You guys planned all of this."

"We have to plan or it we might end up getting something the same." JR stated simply.

Burt laughed and then turned to JR. "We can't get that."

"It's okay."

"If you say so JR. Who am I to deny them."

Kurt was confused with the cryptic discussion. "What?"

JR brushed it off quickly. "Nothing. Don't worry." He then pushed the box toward Kurt. "Open it. I think you'll like it."

Kurt opened it to find a sterling silver bracelet with two dangles on it, one with his own birthstone and one with Blaine's birthstone. "This is perfect." Kurt wrapped his arms around JR's neck kissing him on the cheek then blushed a little for overreacting, even though he wasn't.

"So, you like it?" JR responded with a blush.

"You know I do." Kurt closed up the box. I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.

Kurt was so excited. Borrowed and Blue were left.

An hour later found the couple sitting in the room with presents all around them. "Thank you so much for a place setting. Now we have two. Enough for the two of us."

Finn stood up. "I hope you'll consider this." He had the goofiest smile on his face. Rachael patted his hand.

Kurt gave him a look and then he looked at Blaine as they opened the box together. When they both looked inside the box they had puzzled looks on their face. "Um Finn?" Kurt looked so confused. "Why did you give us a box of socks that look like they've been in your drawer?"

Finn had the goofiest smile on his face as everyone waited to him to respond. "They're my socks." He said proudly.

"Okay." Blaine held one up in question. "What are we supposed to do with them."

"You guys aren't as smart as I thought you were." Finn said very smugly. He looked around the room for someone to pick up on it. "It's your something borrowed!" He threw his hands up in the air.

Kurt took the sock from Blaine and held it up questioningly. "Thank you?"

The whole room laughed as they continued with gifts. They got his and his towels, his and his towels and his and his pillow cases. Rachel finally said. "Maybe people could've gotten you initials if you'd tell us what last name you're taking."

Kurt ducked his head and then looked at Blaine. "We haven't made a final decision... But we will, before the wedding."

Finally all the gifts were opened except for on gift that looked like an envelope. Blaine and Kurt opened it up to find car keys. Blaine looked at the card. "From Granddad and Grandmother." He looked up. "You got us a car?"

"We thought it would be something of sentimental value." Jack smiled and looked at Ellen who was grinning as wide as Blain had ever seen.

When they got to the driveway, there sat a Maserati GranCabrio in blue. "OH MY God." Kurt could barely contain himself. "Oh My God. I can't believe it. It's the car Blaine."

"The car we rented in Europe." Blaine hugged Kurt. They loved that damn car when they rented it. They made love several times in it.

Kurt hugged Blaine back but his eyes never left the car. He noticed something very specific about it and whispered, "It's blue."

Jack came up behind them and wrapped his arms around the shoulder on each boy. "We thought you could drive to the ceremony in it."

"Granddad." Blaine was taken aback. "How can we..."

"Accept it. You have to. I had it shipped all the way here, but I got a good deal on it because its used."

Blaine and Kurt held hands and kissed gently on the lips. When they parted they both said together, "We accept."
