"Blaine? Are you here?" Carole called, looking around outside.

"Blaine!" Finn said as loudly as he could, sniffing around a few bushes just incase Blaine was inside one of them.

"Hey, Carole, over here, I found something."

"What is it, Burt? Did you find Blaine?"

"No, just his collar."

"Maybe that means he's close by."

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Do you hear something?"

"You sure are asking that question a lot today."

"Shh, I hear something!"

"I don't hear anything." Jeff said.

"No, wait... I hear it too." Blaine said, looking up.

"I wonder what it is, it's too far away to tell."

"It sounds familiar." Blaine said softly.

"Maybe it's your humans!"

"I told you they'd be looking for you, Blaine!"

"Wow... you're right... that is them! They are looking for me!"

"Because they love you, Blaine!" Nick said as he wagged his tail.

"It sounds like they're getting louder." Wes said.

"That must mean they're getting closer!"

"Come on! Let's follow the sound!" David said, leading the way.

After a while of running, Blaine's face lit up.

"Do you see what I see?"

"It looks like people!" Jeff said.

"It's my people, my humans! We found them!"

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Burt, do you hear something? It sounds like barking."

"Maybe it's Blaine."

Carole and Burt looked around before spotting a group of puppies racing towards them.

"Blaine! Thank goodness!" Carole said, picking the small dog up.

"Wow, looks like you made a lot of friends while you were out." Burt said with a small laugh as all the puppies barked at him and hopped up and down.

"Let's get him home. First order of business is to close that dog door for good so nothing like this ever happens again."

"Then we'll clean up the party decorations, give you all a bath, and find you guys some good homes near by so that you can come over and play with Blaine whenever you want to."

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Kurt sat by the window, sadly looking out and waiting for Burt, Carole, and Finn to return with Blaine. He'd wanted to help them look, but they wouldn't let him outside with them.

When he heard the back door open, he raced into the other room, praying that Blaine would be with them.

He was surprised when they walked in with a lot more than Blaine.

"Who are all these... Blaine! You're home!" Kurt said happily, tackling Blaine to the floor.

"Kurt! I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too! Why did you run away?"

"Because Santana said you weren't going to love me anymore..."

"That's not true, Blaine. Santana was wrong. She realized that after you ran away, she said she was sorry, and that she shouldn't have said the things she said... she realized we're not like the family that abandoned her, we would never forget about you, Blaine."

"It's okay, I forgive her."

"Good. I don't think she ever expected you to leave... speaking of which, what on Earth were you doing while you were gone, who are all these dogs?"

"These are my new friends! Burt said he'd help them all find homes! Since they all helped me find my way home, it's only fair that we return the favor."

"That's great! It's nice to meet you all."

"You must be Kurt! Hi, I'm Jeff!"

"I'm Nick, Kurt told us all a whole lot about you."

"Yeah, he talks about you all the time, I'm Wes, by the way."

"And I'm David!"

"It's going to be hard to remember all these names."

"Tell me about it, I already can't remember which one he is..." Finn said as he pointed to one of them.

"I'm just really happy that you're home, Blaine." Kurt said with a smile.

"I'm happy to be home."

...............................................................................................................................................................................................................

Burt picked Blaine up and sat him on the bed.

"Almost forgot to put this back on you after your bath earlier." He said as he returned the collar to the dogs neck. "Now don't you go and scare us like that again, you had us worried sick."

"Well, all the dogs are in the living room fast asleep."

"We'll start working on finding them homes tomorrow."

Finn hopped up on the bed, along with Kurt.

"Help Blaine off the bed, he might hurt himself if he jumps down from so high up."

Blaine whimpered a bit and moved closer to Kurt. He was finally on the big bed, he wasn't letting it go that easily.

"Actually, why don't we let him sleep on the bed? We let Kurt and Finn sleep on the bed. Plus after what happened today, I want Blaine as close to us as possible."

"Good idea, goodnight you three." Burt said as he turned the lights off.

"Looks like you're finally getting to sleep on the big bed with us and our humans." Kurt said.

Blaine smiled and cuddled up to Kurt.

"Yep, I'm finally part of a family."
