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

Thank-you for all your reviews, they literally keep me going :)

I am so sorry guys for not updating like… at all… Ive had revision, school work, exams, dance competitions… no free time at all! I’m sorry this is only short but I felt like it was getting ridiculous with me not updating it! I’m missing writing this :’( After my exams are finished I promise I will be back on schedule ;)

A tear dropped from Blaine’s eye as he listened to Burt. After a few minutes of silence Blaine spoke out, “That’s all I’ve ever wanted to hear.”

“Today’s the day Blaine.” Kurt said as he straightened his boyfriends tie and dusted off his shoulders, “You’ll be fine. Just – be strong, tell the truth… and please, please try not to lose your temper in there. Ok?”

Kurt gently shook Blaine’s shoulders and Blaine rolled his eyes in response, “I feel ridiculous in this suit.”

“You look great actually.” Kurt said pulling Blaine over to the front door, “I’m still waiting for that promise you know!”

The corners of Blaine’s mouth twitched into a smile as he leant over to Kurt. He pressed their foreheads together and wrapped his arms about the beautiful boy’s waist, “I promise… I’ll – control myself, ok? Thanks for everything.”

“No problem. I just want this to turn out the way it should. You shouldn’t have had to put up with him for this long.” Kurt said before bursting into tears, wrapping his own arms around Blaine’s neck, burying his face into his chest.

“Hey, Hey! Shussshh… It’s the last were ever gonna have to deal with him today.”

“I wish I could be there for you. I know it’s the family court but you’re more part of my family than your own.” Kurt whispered as Blaine stroked circles into his hair.

Blaine laughed out and placed a small kiss on Kurt’s head before lifting his chin and placing another on his lips. “I’ll be fine! We all know how this case is gonna end… I’m just needed for – let’s say ‘evidence’.”Blaine said, gesturing quotation marks with his fingers.

“Hey kid… you ready to go?” Burt asked Blaine, pulling on his coat ready for the harsh winds outside.

“As I’ll ever be. I love you Kurt.”

Kurt smiled and gave his boyfriends hand one last squeeze before ushering him out the door, “I love you more.”

Burt returned home to find Kurt cradling Aimee in his arms as he paced the living room. His perfectly coifed hair had now been dismantled and his carefully chosen outfit was now missing many of its layers. Burt noticed the dark bags under Kurt’s eyes and how it was almost exhausting for him to carry the little girl in his arms.

“Son, are you ok?”

Kurt startled in surprise and turned around quickly to face his father, “Oh… gosh you scared me. Yes, yeah – I’m fine. I’m just stressed that’s all.” Kurt sat down on the sofa and placed Aimee beside him, “She was having a nightmare in her nap so I comforted her... helped me take my mind of Blaine actually.”

Burt sat down next to Kurt and placed and arm round his sons shoulders, “He just walked in the courtroom before I had to leave him. The jury was already on his side before he even entered the room… I could just tell. You don’t need to worry about it Kurt… your getting yourself worked up!”

“So he’s fine!? Thank the heavens… I can’t believe he has to be in the same room as that monster again. It’s horrible! Why can’t everyone have a father like you dad? It’s unfair.”

Burt chuckled slightly, “Because not everyone has a perfect son like you, do they?! Blaine’s the exception… a genuinely brilliant guy, with a terrible family. I guess that’s what led him to turn out the way he did. You really are a good influence on him though Kurt, I can see it!”

Burt tapped Kurt on the back and gave him a quick squeeze on the arm before standing up and looking lovingly down at Aimee, who was now sprawled out across the sofa, fast asleep.

“I better take her back up to bed eh!? Gosh… She really is beautiful, isn’t she…” Burt said as he took the little girl into his arms slowly and carefully.

“She’s stunningly beautiful. Just like her father.” Kurt said before time stood still and his eyes widened in horror as he realised how easily he had just let that slip, “Shiiiiit.”

“I’m sorry Kurt? Aimee’s father is… beautiful?”

Kurt took a deep breath, “Ok dad… I need to talk to you about something.”
