Author's Notes: Thankyou for the great response to the first chapter. I'm glad you all liked it.I apologise for the week between posts but with life so crazy at the moment I think I might make this a weekly update story. I promise to try to have a new chapter up every Sunday.
“Don’t hate me”
“Why would I hate you?”
“Just promise me you won’t hate me”
“Austin...” Blaine sighed getting slightly annoyed with his boyfriend now. Sitting down on the arm of the couch, he waited for Austin to just tell him what was going on. Today was not the day to mess with Blaine and the young surgeon knew that. It was the say he was going to do his best to avoid his ex-fiance’s father in his own restaurant.
“An MVA, car versus motorbike just came into the ER and my Attending is letting me take point on my first solo trauma surgery... This is a big thing for me Blaine”
“How could I hate someone who is out there saving lives? It’s ok” Blaine chuckled. Austin was referring to the fact that being in surgery hinders his ability to pick Hunter up from the restaurant that night before Burt came in. Even thought Burt and Carole hadn’t seen their grandson if you could even call that since he was born, Blaine now had to run the risk he’d be trying to steer clear of.
“Y’know Burt hasn’t seen Hunter in seven years, he won’t know...”
“Yeah, it’ll be fine. I’m just being a drama queen over nothing”
“Because that’s a new side of you” Austin laughed sarcastically thankful Blaine wasn’t beside him to slap his arm.
“Guess who’s sleeping on the couch tonight?” Blaine smirked knowing Austin was putting his world famous puppy dog pout, one Hunter had learnt to do very well.
“If I make it home, I really should go”
“Your work comes first, it’s ok” the brunette smiled genuinely happy for Austin to keep working than come home. He was a surgeon and his work was helping people, Blaine wasn’t going to stop him from doing something so important.
“My family should come first” Austin sighed softly “I’ll just get someone else to take my surgery”
“Don’t you dare!” Blaine snapped catching his boyfriend off guard “You’re going to go into surgery, save that person’s life and then come home to Hunter and I. We will be fine”
“Blaine...”
“If you pass over that surgery I will break up with you”
“You wouldn’t...”
“Don’t make me even consider it” Blaine insisted “I love you, I’ll see you when you get home”
“I love you too” Austin smiled before hanging up. He still couldn’t get over how good Blaine was to him especially when it came to work. Being a resident, Austin worked the worst shifts. He could work 48 hour shifts one week and then a month of night shifts. It was hard especially with Blaine working most nights at the restaurant but they managed.
Grabbing his jacket and keys, Blaine made his way out of the apartment once he realised it was almost time to pick Hunter up from school. He drove the short distance to Georgetown Day School and waited outside the gate with all the other mothers. It wasn’t long until the doors opened and the relatively quiet courtyard was bustling with children. Hunter raced out toward his father already talking at a million miles an hour about his day.
“Whoa, slow down” Blaine laughed and took his son’s backpack from him “I take it you had a good day at school?”
“It was so much fun, we did art after lunch and I have to show Austin what we made” Hunter gasped excitedly “Is he coming to the restaurant or is he already home? If he was already home he would have come with you to pick me up or maybe he’s cooking dinner because he never gets to cook because of work or maybe...”
“Hunter! Take a breath”
The seven year old took a dramatic deep breath and smirked cheekily up at his father. That was one of the few traits he inherited from his mother that Blaine couldn’t or more so wouldn’t train out of his son.
Blaine knelt down to his son’s level and took his hands gently “You know how Austin has a special job helping sick people? Well he had to help someone who got badly hurt in a car accident. He’s going to be at work tonight but I know he’ll want to see your artwork as soon as he gets home. He loves everything you bring home to show him”
“Oh” Hunter nodded “I’m going to stay with Mr Fitzpatrick then?”
“You don’t have school tomorrow so I thought you could hang out at the restaurant. I can put some of your movies up on the computer and I know Henry would love some help in the kitchen” Blaine shrugged as he watched his son’s face brighten considerably. Mr Fitzpatrick was the elderly man that lived in the apartment across from Blaine and Hunter. He was a reasonably nice man that liked looking after Hunter but like most elderly men he was a grump. Hunter was a very energetic and enthusiastic seven year old and he just got so bored with Mr Fitzpatrick.
“Can I play waiter again?”
“Maybe, we’ll see how busy it is tonight”
The seven year old nodded excitedly as he took his father’s hand and they made their way back to the car. Driving over to the restaurant, Blaine got Hunter settled in his office with a movie before joining his staff in the kitchen for a quick meeting before the dinner shift began. They spoke about the menu as well as any special reservations for the night including that of Congressman Hummel’s. He wasn’t the only politician dining at Hunter’s Kitchen that night so Blaine would be busy without his focus solely on Burt and his party.
Blaine and his staff got to work as customers started filling the restaurant. Keeping mostly to the kitchen, the young owner couldn’t help but sense a different atmosphere tonight. His staff seemed to be on their toes the entire night making sure they got all the meals to their tables before Blaine had the chance to call for them. He definitely wasn’t complaining about the improvement in service time but the young owner couldn’t help but think there was something else going on.

XXXXX

“You guys know this is a small kitchen and you all suck at keeping a secret” Blaine laughed as he handed off a plate of gnocchi to Emily to deliver to a customer’s table. All the waitresses in particular had been in deep conversation for most of the night, stopping when Blaine got within hearing distance.
“I’m sorry Blaine, we... I didn’t know how to tell you” Sam sighed softly. It was then that Blaine’s suspicions were confirmed. From the whispering around the kitchen he’d only known it was something about Burt, Sam’s facial expression proved that something more was going on.
“Kurt’s been sitting with his father for the last hour and a half hasn’t he?”
“And Carole...”
Blaine nodded trying to process the fact that his ex-fianc� was within 20 feet of him right in that moment, that Kurt was within 20 feet of their son.
“Y’know we can close up tonight if you want to take Hunter home” Sam suggested with a shrug figuring Blaine would want to get out of there as fast as possible.
“Where is Hunter?”
Blaine’s focus shifted quickly as he went searching for his son. Checking his office and finding it empty, he made his way back into the kitchen looking around for the seven year old. Blaine had been a little out of sorts all night so maybe an early night with Hunter was just what he needed. As much as he didn’t want to run away from this, Blaine didn’t think he was ready to face Kurt after so long.
“Where is Hunter?”
“I just sent him out to table 12 with their dessert. He’s had so much fun playing waiter” Emily smiled oblivious as to what was going on. One look from Sam and Blaine knew who was sitting at table 12. The pair had been friends for so long that it didn’t take much to communicate a lot.

XXXXX

“Excuse me” Hunter spoke clearly as he stood beside Burt with a large plate in his hands. Loving to help out where he could especially when his father’s office bored him to tears, the seven year old’s favourite job was dessert waiter. Blaine had jokingly asked Hunter to deliver a dessert to Austin when they first started dating as a cute bit but as the years went on the little boy continued the task for other customers. The regulars and all the staff thought it was beyond cute and the attention seeker that Hunter was loved every second.
“Yes?”
“Who had the Mint Choc Chip Cheesecake?” the seven year old asked and sat the plate in front of Kurt when he’d put his hand up. Tearing his eyes away from a text on his cell, Kurt’s breath caught in his throat at the sight of Hunter.
Kurt knew exactly who that little boy was even if he didn’t look so much like his father. Watching Hunter grow through photos Blaine had posted to his Face Space as well as those sent secretly from Mercedes, Kurt had seen him develop into the bright little boy in from of them.
“And what’s your name?” Carole asked with a smile thinking he was just adorable. She and Burt however didn’t realise who this little boy was... just yet.
“Hunter” Kurt answered
“Yeah” the seven year old nodded as he turned to Kurt “How did you know that?”
“Because he picked the name” Blaine then answered for Kurt as he came up behind his son. Biting the bullet, Blaine knew he’d have to face his ex-fianc� sooner or later. “Hello Kurt”
