*I do not own Glee or any of the characters* - I wish :)

Thank-you again for you amazing reviews!! They mean a lot J

I’m having a bit of a writer’s block at the moment… so this chapter will be slightly shorter! Hope you don’t mind :/ I have a good story line in mind just not sure how I want to get there yet!

“OI YOU!” Kurt shouted through his laughter as he hit Blaine playfully on the arm, feeling fully and genuinely happy for the first time in a long while.

“What’s this then?” Finn said curiously, looking up from the card game he was playing with Burt. He eyed his brother and Blaine carefully.

“Well, Aimee here has just had a wonderful dream and would love to share it with you all if that’s ok?” Blaine said in a cheery voice, bobbing his sister up and down in his arms.

Carole, who had walked in from the kitchen, raised her eyebrows at this – she was only used to seeing Blaine when he was arrogant and cocky.

“Urmm sure Kido, come sit down.” Burt replied, patting the sofa next to him.

Aimee wriggled her way free of Blaine’s grasp and ran over to sit on the spot Burt had been tapping. Once everyone had settled down into a seat, they looked at Aimee expectedly. Blaine could tell the little girl had suddenly become very nervous as she began to shuffle her feet around and look down towards her lap.

He threw a reassuring arm around her and said, “Come on then beautiful. I’m excited to hear this! I don’t think I can wait much longer!”

Aimee smiled with her new found confidence, given to her by Blaine. She sat on her hands and looked around at everyone before taking a deep breath and starting the story.

“I was at school and it was home time so I was tidying the crayons with my friend Sarah. We’d drawn a massive butterfly and it suddenly flew off of the paper and out the window. Then Miss Little called me over because Blainey and Kurt were here to get me and take me home.” She looked up to Blaine before adding “I always like our walks home.”

“As do I baby. Then what happened?” Blaine replied, grinning widely.

“Urmm… well, it was really sunny outside and I always like it in the sun. I went over to give my coat to Blainey because I was really hot and I saw he was holding hands with Kurt.”

Blaine and Kurt looked up at each other suspiciously – they had always been careful not to show too much feeling around Aimee as they believed she would need time to get over what had happened with her father before dropping something like that on her!

Aimee continued, having not noticed the two boys reactions, “I was really confused but then I looked up at their faces.”

“Why were you not confused then? What happened?” Carole asked, holding her hand out, with true inquisitiveness in her voice.

“Well, Blainey was smiling at Kurt and Kurt was smiling back. Except they weren’t only smiling… they were urrmm… they - they were GLOWING with happiness.” She said with a triumphant smile, proud of how she had managed to explain that.

Finn giggled at the emphasis she had put on the word ‘glowing.’ Aimee turned around and glared in his direction, trying to show her annoyance for being interrupted by him. This only ended up in both of them laughing together hysterically at Aimee’s facial expression. Finn gave her a quick nod to show her to continue.

“Then there was a rainbow, a really big one with sparkles and everything! It grew and grew and went right across the world. It was so pretty that even Kurt and Blainey noticed it and when they did, they hugged each other in delight! Blainey was closing his eyes, holding onto Kurt’s shirt and I thought ‘I always do that when I hug my brother!’ And then that’s when I knew!”

Kurt cooed in interest, encouraging everyone to join in with the ‘oooohhh’s’ and ‘ahhhh’s.’

“What did you find out Aimee! Tell us!”

“Well I became a detective and figured it out all by myself! I close my eyes when I hug Blainey because I like the feeling and I love him so much!” Blaine gave Aimee a quick hug before letting her continue, “So, If Blainey was doing it when he hugged you then he obviously loves you too!”

Silence….

The awkwardness in the room seemed to rocket upwards. As lovely as the dream was, the only one who knew Blaine’s true feeling for Kurt was Kurt himself.

Burt was the first one to notice Aimee scowling at how nobody had clapped for her story, so he began to cheer and applaud her. Everyone in the room slowly joined in, wondering whether the little girl knew the truth behind Kurt and Blaine’s relationship.

Aimee jumped up onto Kurt’s lap in pride, making him jump nervously. He looked at Blaine for support and the boy simply laughed at him in response.

Kurt didn’t quite know what to do – he had never had a younger sibling or any nieces or nephews to look after. He placed his arms round the young girl and gave her a squeeze, as he had saw Blaine do a million times before.

“Do you love Blainey too Kurt?” Aimee saying, making Kurt cringe with embarrassment.

He was saved from having to answer by the sudden ringing of the telephone. Carole stood up and walked over to pick up the receiver.

“Burt, it’s for you… It’s the Lima Police Station.” Carole called over slowly.

Burt almost ran to take the phone from his wife, cursing when he tripped over the coffee table on the way. Kurt looked over to Blaine to see his expression visibly dropping more negative by the second. Kurt couldn’t tell whether Blaine was angry or scared or upset… all he knew was whatever Blaine was feeling was not good.

“Hello? Oh yes. Ahhh. Right. Ok. Yes, yes. Ok thank you so much. See you soon. Goodbye.” Burt finished his phone call and turned around to face everyone’s curious expressions.

“What’s happened?” Blaine said bluntly.

“Guys, do you mind if I talk to Blaine alone for a second?” Burt said, making everyone clear the room. Carole reached down to grab Aimee’s hand and lead her out. “Alone, Kurt.” Burt added towards his son and Kurt rolled his eyes in annoyance as he reluctantly left the room.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Burt stumbled over to the kitchen table and beckoned Blaine over to sit opposite him, noticing the boys guard was already back up. He stared at the boy, pondering about how to tell him the news.

“Ok Blaine. I know this is not gonna be easy for you.”

“Get on with it.”

Burt looked up into Blaine’s eyes and could have sworn they were the deepest of blacks. He decided to just to break it to him. He was a strong lad; surely he could handle it now.

“Ok… Obviously your father will be staying with the police. They’ve given me the right to look after you and for you to live here… at least until other arrangements can be made – obviously there is a lot of paperwork to fill out on those matters though, so it’s not set in stone just yet. Then we come to what happens next… Well, there will be a court case which you will need to attend. They also need to send an investigator round to do any interview with you about everything that’s happened. That means everything, from the moment he started the abuse till now.”

Blaine slowly nodded his head, not happy with the situation but if meant keeping his father in jail and away from him and Aimee he would do it without question. He got up to leave when Burt grabbed his wrist and pulled him back to sit down again.

“They also want to interview Aimee… Do you thi-“

“THEY WANT TO WHAT!?” Blaine screamed as he stood up suddenly, throwing his chair backwards in rage.

“They will need to ask her a few questions-“ Burt started but soon realised there was no hope for the situation, so fell quiet again

“She’s under my bloody care and I say she is not ready for questions on me being abused! I can answer everything for her fine! There is NO WAY they will be interviewing my little girl! ” Blaine shouted before storming out the room.

‘Did he just say under my care…. my little girl?’ Burt thought…. ‘What the hell did he mean by that?’

Blaine ran up the stairs, placing heavy footsteps. He went in the direction of his bedroom, but was stopped abruptly by Kurt. Blaine just sighed in anger.

“Kurt move please…”

“Blaine you don’t have to be like this with me anymore. You can tell me anything.” Kurt said making a move to hold Blaine’s hands.

Blaine had done his actions before his mind kicked in to react. He pushed back at Kurt, where he was holding his hands. It wasn’t with enough force to knock the boy over but with Blaine’s strength to consider, it was definitely a stronger push than Blaine wanted it to be.

Kurt had stumbled back to caress his own wrists, glaring unbelievably at Blaine.

Blaine suddenly snapped back in to realisation and reality. “SHIT! Kurt, oh god I’m sorry! Come here…”

Blaine walked up to Kurt and threw his arms around the boy, placing a small kiss to his forehead.  Kurt buried himself into Blaine’s shoulder, enjoying the warmth and comfort and slowly felt his eyes drifting shut.

Blaine had also noticed this, “You can go to sleep baby; I’ve got you.” He proceeded to pick Kurt up effortlessly and carry him to the boy’s bedroom.

Sorry this is so short! We will find out about Santana’s plans in the next chapter so hold on!! (:
