Chapter 10

Kidnap the child? But why would we want to provoke them? We need to be sneaky." Quinn questioned as Sue smiled.

"Ahh, silly Q, we are going to use the child to lure the coven out so their leader is with me where the ultimate weapon is." Sue seemed proud of her admission and plan.

"Ultimate weapon? What the hell is that? Ive never heard of it until now." Quinn was confused.

"The weapon that can kill our kind. I know we need a warlock and a pure-blooded child, but there is one last thing that I dont know and I dont know the location. The plan is simple, we take the kid, lure them out and take them out." Sue finished as she looked at Quinns dumbfounded face.

"Thats not going to be easy execute, you know that?" Sue asked Sue.

"Oh, Im sure they will do anything to save the child." The smile on Sues face will haunt Quinn for decades.

When Sue told Craig that he had to break into the Dalton Coven and steal the princes heir right from under their noses, he was skeptical and scared shitless. How was he supposed to break into a secured building and steal a baby that had two very strong, and protective parents? He breathed deeply as he stood outside the window and looked up.

"Alright, Craig, you just have to jump, get in and the get the kid." He told himself as he propelled himself in the air and grabbed the window seal and quickly opened the window.

He took a stuttered breath as he tip-toed around the room and concentrated on the breathing of the child. He smiled when he heard the child babble in his sleep. Craig quickly ran into the nursery and put his hand over the babys mouth, quieting his screams as he lifted him out of the crib and ran as fast as he could.

Craig let out a sigh of relief as he reached the compound and let himself in. He rushed to Sues room where her and Quinn where having a discussion.

"Ive got the child, Sue." He said quickly as he laid the unconscious child in the makeshift bed.

Sue let out a triumphant laugh. "Good boy, my pet. You did well. I assume you did this without anyone noticing?" When he nodded, she smiled. "Yes, phase one complete. Now we find our warlock, Leon." Sue once again looked out the window and ponders how she will find her warlock.

Kurt woke up to complete silence, which was odd considering how much Gabriel is active in the morning. He is used to hearing the crying of his child waking him up at 8 like clockwork. So, when Kurt woke himself at 9, he was instantly on alert. He briskly walked into the nursery and was instantly horrified when he noticed the empty crib.

He let out a harsh breath and he shakily walked up to the crib and held the railing so tight it left indentations of his fingers.

"BLAINE!" Kurt screamed as he sobbed hard. He was shaking so badly, he could barely stand up. "BLAINE!" he screamed again as he heard the door being slammed open and Blaine came rushing in, grabbing Kurt and turning him around.

"What, baby? What happened?" Blaine was about to ask again when he looked over Kurts shoulder and saw the desolate crib. Blaine took in a quick, sharp breath. Before he could say something, Kurt loses it.

"WHERE IS MY BABY? Where is Gabriel?!" Kurt screamed as he sobbed so hard he fell to his knees, Blaine going down with him.

Blaine cried as he listened to Kurt screaming for their child. He held his mate tight as he began to convulse. He had no idea what to do. Someone took his child. Someone took his baby. He was going to kill whoever had the audacity to lay their hands on his child. Blaine was so caught up in his inner-mantra that he didnt hear the door be slammed open, revealing his father and Wes as they ran into the nursery, eyes red and fangs out.

"Kurt, Blaine, whats wrong?" Jon asked as he surveyed the room quickly and his eyes laid upon the uncharacteristically empty crib at this time in the morning. Jon looked to Wes and they quickly deduced what happened.

Blaine watched his father and Wes have a silent conversation and let go of Kurt to walk to the two, tears falling from his eyes.

Blaine took a deep breath before speaking. "We need to find him and whoever took him…" Jon nodded in agreement before Blaine finished the rest of his sentence. He whipped the tears of his sons face and they both turned to a very still Kurt on the floor.

Wes walked up to Kurt and put his hand on his back. A mistake he probably wont make again. Before Blaine could stop his him, Kurt grabbed Wes by the neck and had him against the nursery wall in a blur.

"Where is my baby!?" Kurt yelled as he tightened his grip in a delusional rage. Wes let out a chocked out noise and looked in Kurts deep scarlet eyes in terror.

Blaine knew the moment Wes touched Kurt while he was in a sensitive state was a very bad idea. Kurt us usually very calm and collected, but when one of his emotions were a little off, his vampiric state enhanced it one thousand times. He grabbed Kurts arm and yanked it behind his back and grabbed the back of his neck and hauled him the other side of the room.

Kurt once again started to sob hard and scream incoherent mumbles about Gabriel. Blaine turned him around and held Kurts head to his chest.

"We need to have a meeting, now." Jon demanded and left the room to call the rest of the coven.

Blaine looked at a still terrified Wes and nodded his head toward the door, directing him out of the room to follow his father. He finally let out the sob he had been holding when Wes left the room. He just held his mate tight as they both cried for their child.

"It seems that we have one of these emergency meetings every other month now." One of the members complained as he waited for the council to come in.

"Dont be so quick to complain!" Wes admonished. "Someone stole Kurt and Blaines child, you ignorant ass." The members eyes widened at the hostile tone in Wes voice and decided to sit quietly.

Jon was terrified. He cant believe that within a year, his son lost his first child and his second was taken. He couldnt help but wonder what the universe had against his son and his mate. He took a deep breath before entering the common room and facing its occupants.

"It appears that my grandson has been taken and I believe I know the reason." Many gasps echoed the room as the coven took in the news. Jon continued. "There is this legend that tells about an ultimate weapon that would give its wielder ultimate power over the vampire race. Ive never believed in this legend because its so far-fetched. There is virtually no evidence of its existence or how it works. The only ones who really know are the warlocks and they are almost extinct. I believe Sue might have a role in his kidnapping. She is the only enemy that we know of and she knows where he resides. I can only assume she is looking for this weapon and is using Gabriel as a lure. We need to find her and lock her up for good." Jon finished and looked at the rest of the council for their approval.

Jon knew he had to find his grandson fast.

Two months later

Sue was having a great day. Her pawn had successfully taken the little brat and she had finally located the location of the weapon. It had taken her months, but her plan was finally coming to a-head. You could say she was having the best of her immortal life, but that was too pretentious.

Sue was writing in her journal when Quinn came in and sat in front of her. "To what do I owe the pleasure, Quinny?" Sue asked as she put her pen down and leaned back.

"The child seems to have an ailment that requires medication. We need him to be alive if we are going to sacrifice him for the ceremony." Sue pursed her lips.

"Im sure he will be fine, just keep him alive until it is time. He has to be alive, not comfortable." Sue demanded. "Now go, I have plans to write." She waved Quinn off as she picked her pen back up and began writing again.

Once Quinn left the room, Sue looked at the dark corner and smiled. “Ahh, Leon, I see you've found my hideout.” She commented as the warlock stepped into the light of the room.

“Yes, I have and I must say that what you are doing is crazy and quite frankly, evil.” Leon said as he sat in front of Sue.

Sue stopped mid-sentence and looked up, taking off her glasses in suspicion. “I'm guessing from the tone in your voice that you are not willing to help me activate the weapon?” She asked.

“Well, you are paying me handsomely, I would be a fool to say no, but I must ask.” Leon paused to pose his question. “Why would you need this weapon? You do know what it is meant to do, correct?” Leon couldn't believe that Sue would want to do this.

“That,” Sue closed her book. “Is a question that I am not paying you to ask. What I do with the weapon is none of your concern. What concerns you is payment options. Are you in?” Sue stretched her hand out.

Leon stared at Sue's hand for a brief moment. He knew that he needed the money, so he eventually gave up the internal struggle in his mind and took Sue's hand and shook it briefly. “Yes, I'll do it, but I'm leaving the second it happens and never contact me again.” He said firmly as Sue shook her head in agreement.

“We have a deal, warlock.” Sue was pleased with herself.

Around the corner, Quinn watched the exchange in shock. She had her doubts about Sue these recent days and her hunch was clearly right. She was looking for a way to get the upper hand over Sue and take over, she might have just found her way to do it.

Quinn smiled as she walked into her room to start a plan.

Kurt Elizabeth Hummel was inconsolable, Blaine concluded. It has been two months since Gabriel was taken and the coven still had no leads whatsoever. No matter what Blaine did, Kurt would not talk to anyone, except for Jeff and Jakob, which made him worry. The only time he would speak, is when he is yelling at anyone who tries to come near him.

Blaine woke up to the back of his mate as he looked at the photo after Gabriel was born. Its a sweet photo of Kurt laying in the hospital, smiling down at their newborn with tired eyes and holding his little clenched fist. Blaine was behind Kurt on the bed looking at the baby over Kurts shoulder, smiling sweetly as the photo was taken. This was the scene every time Blaine woke up. It seems like Kurt never sleeps anymore.

"Kurt?" Blaine tried to coax his fiancé out of bed, to no avail. He sighed in defeat as he pulled himself out of bed and kissed the top of Kurts head as he walked into the kitchen.

Trying to get Kurt to eat was another challenge all together. He was in a constant state or morose and eating just seems to escape him. Blaine made Kurts favorite breakfast in hopes that he will eat at least some of it.

Just as Blaine made the finishing touches, Jeff came in with Jakob and gave Blaine a quick hello and walked into their room. Blaine was just happy that Kurt allowed Jeff and Jakob in the room without kicking them out. He made a plate of food and quietly walked into the room and was saddened by the scene in front of him.

Kurt was hugging Jakob tightly, slightly rocking him and looking out the window with tears falling down his face. Jeff looked at his friend with sad eyes as he holds his child.

Jeff looked to the doorway as Blaine walked in and set the plate of food down. He kneeled on the bed and hugged his mate from behind.

"My baby…" Kurt whispered as he rocked Jakob back-and-forth.

"I know, baby. I know." Blaine whispered as comforted his grieving mate.

A couple of days later, Blaine finally coaxed Kurt into going out to get dinner out. He had to admit that Kurt's almost complete complacency was scary. It was like he had no emotion anymore. Blaine sighed in sadness as he directed Kurt into one of the chairs at the restaurant.

“Hi, can I start you two off with a drink?” The waiter asked as he set two menus in front of the couple.

Blaine look to Kurt with a hoping look that maybe his mate will respond. Kurt was looking at his hands and said nothing. Blaine sighed for what felt like the hundredth time since they left and looked back to the waiter.

“We'll just take water, thank you.” Blaine smiled.

“Alright, I'll be back when you're ready to order.” The waiter leaves and Blaine grabs Kurt's hand.

“Baby?” Blaine inquired and Kurt lifted his head and looked at Blaine. “What are you thinking about?

Kurt looked at Blaine for a few second before begging to speak, “I'm thinking about our child, Blaine. Someone took our fucking child, most likely Sue, and we can't find him. He could be hurt or dying. I mean, they don't have his medication and he could be having violent episodes! All while we are sitting here in this restaurant pretending like nothing is happening!” Kurt blow up so suddenly the other patrons looked at the couple.

Blaine grabbed Kurt's other hand and squeezed them together with a look of sympathy in his eyes. “Baby, you know the coven is doing all they can to find him. We can't do anything more right now. We will find him, I swear.” He tried to console his angry mate.

But Blaine was surprised when Kurt broke out into loud sobs, barely breathing as the tears ran down his face. His hands started to shake as his body is raked with sobs. Blaine quickly got up and knelt besides his mate looking into his tear-filled eyes.

“Honey, please don't cry. It's okay. We'll go if that's what you want.” Blaine quietly spoke. He heard someone get up and approach them. He knew this was going to get worse.

“Would you and your little butt-buddy leave? I'm sick of listening to this fairy being a cry-baby. No one wants you here, you fucking fags.” The man sneered as he looked at the couple with pure hatred I his eyes. Blaine looked over his shoulder at the man and heard Kurt's breath hitch at the man's insults.

Blaine's eyes became scarlet and he scowled at the man. He smiled internally as the man had a look of terror and confusion on his face and promptly turned and walked back to his booth. Blaine picked Kurt up and he walked them out of the restaurant, eyes still blazing red with anger.

“Stay here, okay, Baby? I'll be right back.” Blaine hushed Kurt's reluctance with a kiss and closed the door behind him.

It took Blaine a few minutes to track the man down, but with his scent fresh, he eventually found him walking down an empty alleyway. “Great, no one will hear his screams.” Blaine smiled as he thought. He jumped over the fence and landed lightly on his feet. He ran at lighting speed and grabbed the man by the back of the neck. The man let out a sound of surprise as he was yanked back and pushed against a wall.

“What the, what the fuck are you doing? Get the hell off me, you freak.” He croaked out as Blaine tightened his grip on his throat.

“You might want to re-think insulting me, asshole. I squeeze a little tighter and I'll snap your neck.” Blaine threatened in a hushed tone. The man's eyes widened in terror as he broke out into a sweat. “Yes, you know you're fucked, huh? You insult my mate and think you can get away with it?” Blaine said before he slammed the man's head against the brick and lifted the unconscious man over his shoulder and ran them both back to the car, opened the door and put the man in the back seat.

Kurt looked up in surprise when he heard the door to the back seat being opened and saw Blaine put the man from the restaurant in the back seat. “What are you doing?” Kurt whispered as Blaine got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Blaine pursed his lips as he started to drive. “I thought we could have a little fun. You know, to make you feel better and make this asshole pay. He doesn't get to speak to you like that.” Blaine tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Kurt smiled genuinely for the first time in days. “Thank you, my protective mate. I think we will have fun tonight.” His smile mischievous as he grabbed Blaine's hand and held it over the console.

Blaine was glad he found something that made his mate smile and enjoy life. He just wished it didn't involve killing or torturing people. A least they were asshole, Blaine tried to reason with himself. He watched as Kurt smiled and squeezed their intertwined hands. Blaine knew he had to take it day-by-day with Kurt, but right now, they were happy.

One month later

Sue was having the worst day she had in her life. She didnt understand why her pawns couldnt do their jobs, as simple as they were. All they had to do was watch that little brat and make sure to stay hidden while she tried to locate the finale thing she needed for the weapon.

If only her pawns would do their jobs. Which leads Quinn to holding the brat, while it quivers and coughs.

"What is wrong with the child?" Sue demanded as she looked at Quinns panicked face.

"I dont know! He just started to shake and cough." As Quinn finished her sentence, Gabriel started to convulse violently and vomit.

Sue clenched her jaw in agitation and got a pill bottle from her drawers. "Give him a couple of these, itll knock him out." She tossed the pill bottle in Quinns hands. "It looks like we have to make our plans a little bit quicker, huh?" Sue asked. Quinn nodded and ran out of the room with a now unconscious Gabriel.

Sue had no idea why it couldnt go right for her. She sighed and grabbed her phone and called the warlock.

"Yes, Leon? Its Sue. We have a problem." Leon sighed on the other line.

“And what might that be, Sue? You do know you're paying me to activate the weapon. You're not paying me to solve your problems before the matter.” Sue could hear the agitation in his voice, she pushed through anyways.

“Well, I need the kid alive to do the ritual, but that would be hard when the little brat is having seizures out-of-nowhere. I need you hear to create a link between father and child. We're speeding this process up a bit. I know you know where a witch is.” Sue rushed as she started to pace her office.

Leon sighed again. “Yes, I know where a witch is, the link will cost you extra, and I'll be there in an hour. Be ready to pack up the child and get to the location, I'll tell the witch where to go.” Leon hung up and Sue slouched, leaning on the back of her chair.

Quinn quickly stepped away from the door as she smiled. “Well, time for my reinforcements.” Sue was going to lose.

"I will create a psychic link between the child and his father so you can lure the coven out." Leon told Sue.

Sue nodded and motioned for Leon to go forward with the plan. Leon began chanting in a dead language, putting his hand on the childs head and when he was done, he turned to Sue.

"It is done. The link will make them feel pain together and they are able to locate each other. This bond will work for only a day, so you need to get them to the location of the weapon soon." Leon said.

Sue looked at Gabriel. "Well, look like youre going to be more of use to me then I had originally thought." She smiled evilly at the sleeping toddler. "Cmon, you brat, time to lure Daddy and his coven so I can kill the prince and conquer." Sues sickling sweet voice roused the child as he blearily opening his eyes and looked at the strange women in front of him.

Sue grabbed the child. "Quinn, get in here, were leaving. Get everyone together. Lets get this started." Quinn nodded and hurried out of the room.

Sue was having a great day.

"What do you mean you havent found him yet? Its been three months! THREE! He could be h-h-hurt or-or dead!" Kurt stuttered as he yelled at the council, Blaine came up behind him and wrapped his hand around his mates waist, calming him down.

Jon sighed in contempt. "I know, Kurt. I want to find him as much anyone, but we need to be smart about this. Once we find her, we cant just go in and charge. Shes smart. We have to be one step ahead of her. We need to find that weapons location before she does and get it first. We lure her out and take her out." Jon said.

Kurt was getting a strange feeling as the meeting continued and he rubbed his head. "I just dont think that will work! We need to find her now! She could hurt him. Hell, I bet she already hurt him-." Kurt stopped mid-sentence as a pain radiated form his head to his side. He hunched over and screamed in pain while Blaine ran to him in alarm and grabbed his cheeks lifting his mates face to his own.

"Kurt? Honey? Whats wrong? Whats happening!?" Blaine was panicking as Kurt continued to scream in agony.

Kurt took quick deep breaths as he tried to speak in full sentences. "I dont know! It hurts Blaine…" Kurt trailed off as his eyes scrunched in concentration. "I… I can feel Gabriel…" He whispered. "I-I know where he is!" Kurts head shot up and look to his mate. "I can feel him. Hes in pain. Blaine, we need to get to him!" Blaine blinked in confusion at Kurts stammering.

"Sue must have found a warlock and created a link between Kurt and Gabriel. Shes using that to lure us out by hurting him. We have to go where Kurt says. Bring the back up. Were going to plan two." Jon said quickly as he directed the coven members to get their supplies and get ready to leave. He looked to his son and mate. "Can you move, Kurt?" When Kurt said he could, Jon went over to his wife.

"Are you ready to get our grandchild back? He asked.

"As Ill ever be. Lets get that wench." Alex said in a strong tone.

Blaine looked at the whole coven rushing to get ready and thought of his child and he smiled for a brief moment about how much everyone in the coven cares about his child.

His thoughts were interrupted by Jon's booming voice calling the coven to attention. “Okay, we all know the plan. Kurt leads us to where the weapon is, we negotiate terms and if she doesn't want to negotiate, we attack and apprehend her. Simple as that. No matter what, we get the child back.” Jon's stern tone sent shivers down Blaine's spine. “Kurt, lead the way.” Kurt nodded in agreement and ran out the door, Blaine by his side and the coven behind them.

Sue smiled when she finally reached the location, her pawns and Leon in toe. The location was about as clique as can be. It was a desolate place surrounded by ancient rocks and dead grass. What looked like a stone coffin was in the dead center and house the weapon. Sue shook her head at the stereotypical gravesite and looked to Leon.

“Well, where is the witch?” She asked as she looked around.

“She's here, she asked not to be scene. She will know when to do her part. Just lure them here and get this over with. I have other preoccupations today.” Leon looked at his nails boringly.

Sue looked annoyed. “Quinn, wake the child up, make him cry or something.” She commanded as Quinn bounced Gabriel, which jostled him and he started to cry loudly. Quinn looked on as she held the wailing child. She heard something in the distance and saw blurry figures run toward their location.

“The Dalton coven is here!” Quinn yelled. This prompted Sue to look up and smile as over a dozen red eyes looked upon her in anger. She spread her arms.

“Welcome, princes' and coven. Are you here to see my rise in power?” Sue boasted and she saw Blaine and Kurt's jaw clench.

Jon stepped forward. “We are here to get my grandson back. We came to negotiate terms. We are willing to give you territory for my grandson, we can talk terms. All we ask is that you don't hurt Gabriel.” Jon finished and Sue laughed.

She continued to laugh for a minute before composing herself and breathing in deeply. “I don't think we will be negotiating. Why would I when I have more than you can offer? I don't want territory, Jon. I want to rule the whole vampire race. I need the weapon to achieve that and I need the little brat to do that.” She paused and looked at the coven. “In fact, I think it's time that we start this thing. Leon, tell the witch to start the ritual.” Sue ordered and Leon nodded. He jerk his head in a direction and a faint chanting came from the same direction.

“Wait! You can't do this! He's my baby!” Kurt yelled, eyes red and teeth elongated. Blaine had to hold him by the waist to prevent him from leaping toward Sue.

Blaine grunted as he held his mate back with all his strength. “Baby, you can't attack her, you know that is not a good idea! I can't lose you too.” Blaine whispered in Kurt's ear. Kurt stopped moving and started desperately at his child crying in Quinn's arms. 

“Ahh, I don't care about your little child. I want my weapon and I will get it. All these years, your rule has been flawed. You don't have an iron fist. You let your coven run free and you have two men has the heirs. How have you survived? You need someone like me to rule. I would never let it get to this abysmal place again.” Sue smiled in triumph as he saw tears in Kurt and Blaine's eyes. She knew she was getting to them, distracting them from defending themselves is she needs to attack.

“Sue, the witch is done enchanting. You must sacrifice the child within the next five minutes for the weapon to activate.” Leon stated as he stepped behind a tree about 100 feet away. “I will stay here until the ritual is complete, but I will stay away in case of a conflict.” Sue agreed and looked to Quinn.

“Quinn, hand me the ch-” Sue's sentence was cut off when Quinn took a rock and slammed it on Sue's temple and knocked her out. She crumpled unto the ground in an unconscious heap. Quinn looked at the stunned eyes of the Dalton coven and smiled.

“Well, wasn't she annoying?” Quinn's sweet tone had everyone looking at her in suspicion.

“Why would you betray your own leader, Quinn?” Jon asked as she walked closer to the coven.

“Her views are wrong. What she was going to do was not good. She wanted to kill all of you and she thought that it would be the tipping point and she would just miraculously become the leader of us all. Well, I don't want that.” Quinn shook her head and bounced Gabriel in her arms.

Kurt looked desperately at his enemy holding his child. “What do you want, Quinn!? Why don't you just give me my baby and we can take Sue and all your troubles away.” He begged as he moved toward the two, Blaine following slowly behind.

In an instant two rouges from Sue's side came and grabbed Kurt and Blaine around the necks and yanked them both back toward Jon and Alex, who were also being held by rouges. Kurt started to panic and looked to Quinn as she laughed softly and hugged Gabriel close. She exhaled happily and spun around.

“But you see, I want what she wanted. Now with her out of the way, I'm going to fulfill what she wanted. The difference is, I'll lead our race to fruition. I'll be the greatest leader ever. But first I need to kill this loud brat.” Quinn took a knife out of her pocket and held it to Gabriel's throat. She heard the Dalton Coven screaming in protest and looked at Gabriel's parents in the eye and she ran the knife across the child's neck in a flash and everything went silent and still.

Blood spilled over the stone and it cracked open, light streaming from it. Quinn laughed manically as she watched the stone crack to reveal a boxed device, spinning and turning. Quinn looked back over to Kurt, who was crying hysterically and Blaine, who was strangely quiet and very still holding his mate. She quickly grabbed the device and ran away in a flash, the rouges quickly following suite.

The feeling the moment Quinn ran away with the device and the dead body of Gabriel laying on the cracked stone could not be explained. One father was screaming and crying, his knees had buckled on him the second the knife left his child's throat. The other was like stone, holding his hysterical mate and very, very quiet. Jon looked at Kurt and Blaine then to his dead grandson. He inhaled sharply and promptly ran to Gabriel's body and brought it over to Kurt, who grabbed the limp body and held it close, rocking back-and-forth.

“My baby! My sweet baby!” Kurt screamed in agony as the tears fell freely down his face. Blaine shushed him and hugged him close.

Leon looked from afar as the blonde quickly betrayed his employer and sacrificed the kid herself and took the weapon. He would have never seen that coming. He also watched the agony and pure despair that the parents of the child were going through as they held their dead child. He knew now that he was not getting paid and he aided in a child's horrible death for nothing. Only the genocide of a race. He knew he had to repay the Dalton Coven. He walked over and was quickly grabbed by the shorter vampire, who he deduced is the heir to the throne, and held up in the air by his throat. He should have thought better than to go near a hysterical vampire and his very protective mate.

“Wait!” Leon croaked out as his breath gets shorter. He grabbed at Blaine's hand and tried to release them. “I can help bring the child back. I'm not on her side. She was going to pay me. I want to help.” He stuttered out as he looks into deep red glowing eyes and fangs out, growling at the perceived threat.

It took Blaine a few seconds to process what Leon had said and he let go of Leon and back away in a crouched position slowly toward his mate and child. “What do you mean you can help? What can you do?” He growled out as he crouched in front of his vulnerable mate.

“I mean, I can transfer life force form a close relative unto your child and bring him back to life. The child will come back, scar free and any aliments would be healed. But it needs to be from immediate family. A direct blood line.” Leon explained.

Blaine contemplated before looking at his mate, who stopped rocking their dead child and looked into Blaine's eyes. He nodded and Blaine looked back to Leon. “Who can do it?” He asked him as he looked around the coven members.

Xander took a deep breath and stepped forward.

“I volunteer to save my great-grandchild.” Gasps were heard everywhere as Xander finished.

“No, father, we need you here.” Jon had an unshed tear in his eye. Xander smiled sadly and hugged his son.

“Son, I have lived a very long time. You do not need me to rule anymore. You have done a fantastic job on the council. You can take over and help rebuild this, find Quinn and rule. I don't need to live if I can help save our heir, my great-grandson. He needs to live and I have lived long enough to see the world change, so now he has to. Just promise me one thing, find that blonde bitch and kill her.” He spat out the last sentence and Jon's eyes widened. He had never heard his father curse in his lifetime.

“If that is what you want, father.” Jon hugged his father quickly and tightly. Xander smiled and hugged his grandson and his mate and turned to Leon.

“Alright, warlock, do what you need to do.” Xander said. Leon walked toward the vampire and placed his hands on his shoulders. He chanted and ancient language and Xander fell over with a blissful smile on his face.

Leon stepped toward Kurt and Blaine and held out his hands. “Please, let me see the child.” Kurt hesitated for a moment before handing Gabriel over to Leon. He once again chanted in and ancient language and it his was silent for a moment before the cut on Gabriel's throat closed open and the toddler coughed, complexion going from pale to its original color. Kurt gasped and grabbed Gabriel from Leon's arms and held his child close.

“My baby! He's alive. Oh, my Gabriel.” Kurt cried in happiness as Gabriel looked around in confusion. He started to whimper as he looked at his father. “What's wrong with his eyes?” Kurt demanded.

Leon scrunched his eyebrows and looked over the child. “Oh, yes, it's the life force of Xander. There is nothing to be worried about. I can also assure you that his ailment of epilepsy is also cured. He is fine.” Leon smiled at the relieved look on the parents' face.

“Oh!” Both Kurt and Blaine exclaimed as they held their confused child close as they hugged and kiss him everywhere. The coven was rejoicing when Blaine parted and went over to Leon.

“I'm sorry about the whole neck thing.” Blaine sheepish expression made Leon laugh.

Leon grabbed Blaine's hand and shook it.

“It's quite all right. I understand the reasoning. I'm just happy to bring him back and you guys are happy again. I was confused with my allegiance with Sue and I won't make that mistake twice. I will be taking my leave. Expect to never see me again. Have a good life with your mate and child.” Leon bowed out and vanished into thin air.

Blaine blinked as the warlock vanished and went back to Kurt and Gabriel. He smiled now that his family was back again.

The return to the coven was a happy, yet grim feeling. Everyone was happy that Gabriel was brought back, but the cost was still steep. A week after the funeral for Xander, the council decided to put Sue away in the deepest prison for all eternity, but it still didn't quell the terrifying feeling about what Quinn was going to do with the weapon.

Blaine had just walked into the door when he heard Kurt's faint voice from Gabriel's room. He scrunched his eyebrows and quietly walked into the nursery and smiled softly at the sight he is greeted with.

Kurt was holding Gabriel to his chest, one arm under his butt and the other was holding his head as he lightly bounced him and whispered sweet words to the drowsy toddler.

“My little baby.” He whispered as he kissed Gab's head. Gabriel made a little sound and snuggled further into his father and promptly closed his eyes and fell asleep, his arms going limp. Kurt smiled and sway a little and kissed his head again.

Kurt felt familiar arms wrap around his waist and he leaned into his mate as Blaine kissed the side of his neck.

“He go down easily?” Blaine asked as he kissed the top of Gabriel's head.

“Yes, I guess he's still tired from the ordeal. Even though it has been a week or so.” Kurt detached from Blaine and gently laid Gabriel down in his crib hand put the pacifier in the baby's mouth. He smoothed the hair back from Gabriel's forehead and gave it a quick kiss. Blaine did the same and they both left the room and closed the door.

Once they got into their room and laid down on their bed, Kurt the little spoon and Blaine the big spoon, they decided to breathe a little.

“What the status on finding Quinn?” Kurt asked.

Blaine breathed out slowly. “Well, we have a lead on her, but we need more time to find her.” Kurt made a sound in his throat.

“When we find her, I want her to feel the pain that our baby felt, Blaine. I want her to pay.” Kurt said through his teeth and turned around in Blaine's arms and kissed him on the mouth.

Blaine kissed back and held Kurt's cheeks. “I know, she will, Baby. She will.” Blaine promised.
