School resumed after the Holidays and the Hummel household settled back in the same routine they had before. After all, it really was better for Burt to take care of Charlie in the mornings.

Aaron, on the other hand was much more talkative than he had been. Talking to Kurt about what he was feeling and what he wanted made him realize that he should not be afraid to express his feelings and that it was, in fact, helping. Blaine still had no clue what happened to him and when he asked Kurt about it, on a Saturday night as they were cuddling in bed, Kurt simply told him that it wasn't his story to tell and that Aaron was old enough to choose to whom he was talking about his past. He also told Blaine that when Aaron was ready to share stuff, he would do so. Blaine, on the other hand, was afraid that his status of "Foster Care Kid" would keep Aaron from talking to him.

"I don't know about that," Kurt responded when Blaine spoke about his fears. "You were quite good at getting him to talk during the Holidays."

"Yeah... I guess..." Blaine responded, still pouting just a little. He really wanted to know Aaron better after the "Kurt-abandoned-me" episode. He thought that Aaron was just a shy little boy, without much of a back story. He should have known that nobody just had a little back story when they ended in Foster Care.

"Come here" Kurt said, pulling Blaine close to his chest. "Remember when you arrived here? How different you were then?"

Blaine nodded. How could he not remember the shyness, the awkwardness? How could he not remember the rejection he felt at first when he entered McKinley for the first time? Of course, it was partly because of Kurt, but all of that was in the past and he knew he was happy now.

"Imagine how it is for Aaron now... He didn't know anyone when he arrived in Lima and he and I had never been in the same school... He relied on me a lot. I was the one he was able to talk to and did stuff with him. Emily, the other kid that was here before you, was nice to him too, but Aaron prefers boys..." Kurt explained to Blaine.

Blaine knew better than asking questions. Kurt would say that it's not his place to tell Aaron's story. So Blaine remained silent, wondering why Aaron would prefer being with boys. Maybe he was at an early state of discovering his homosexuality... Who knew?

"You all right, honey?" Kurt asked concerned when he saw Blaine frowning.

"Yeah... It's just my curiosity trying to get over my reason." Blaine responded with a smirk.

"He's gonna talk to you eventually. I'm sure of it!" Kurt said, smiling at Blaine "Everything okay now?"

"Yeah... I guess..."

"Come here," Kurt said, pulling Blaine on top of him. They were only wearing pajama pants so the skin of their chests and stomachs touched. Blaine was straddling Kurt.

Blaine was leaning on his elbows, so Kurt didn't have to support all his weight. Nonetheless, he let his head fall on his boyfriend's chest when he felt a feathery touch dragging down his back. He shivered in pleasure and started kissing Kurt's chest and neck and jaw. When Kurt's hand reached the elastic band of Blaine's pants, Blaine let out a low moan in between kisses.

Kurt's hand dragged up again, ever so softly and Blaine couldn't stop his hips from thrusting. Kurt let out a groan. Blaine felt Kurt's hand brush a little bit faster down his back until it reached again the hem of his pajama pants. Kurt pulled at them a bit and said:

"I think we should just lose the pants before we make a mess..."

"Yeah... Yeah you're right," Blaine responded.

Less than fifteen seconds later, they were back in the same position, minus the pants. Their skin was on fire at every contact point. Blaine was still showering Kurt's neck with light kisses while Kurt's was, again, making Blaine shiver with his feather-like touch. From time to time, their hips would just move of their own accord when a touch or a breath hit a particular spot. But none of them really wanted to make things go any faster. It was slow paced and full of love.

Eventually, they needed something more. Kurt felt the urgency first and let his hand wander a little bit lower than his usual drag. His fingertips brushed ever so lightly on the curve of Blaine's ass until he reached the highest point. Kurt cupped his boyfriend ass quickly, making Blaine moan a little bit louder and thrust his cock against Kurt's

Kurt encouraged the movement by moving his hips in sync with Blaine's. He groped the flesh of Blaine's ass a little bit harder, telling his boyfriend wordlessly to move faster, to thrust harder. But when Kurt's fingers accidentally slipped into Blaine's crack, everything stopped. Kurt looked at the other boy's face in confusion, only to find it frozen in a silent scream of pleasure.

"You liked that?" Kurt murmured.

Blaine could only nod before he started to move again. Kurt resumed his movements too, letting his fingertips brush along Blaine's crack. Blaine's thrusts we're jerky, as if he had trouble finding the right pace.

"Kurt - Kurt - I-" Blaine was unable to form a proper sentence.

"What is it, honey?" Kurt asked "Tell me. You can tell me anything."

But instead of asking Blaine just reached behind him and took Kurt's hand in his. He brought it to his mouth and sucked Kurt's index finger into his mouth, letting his tongue coat in with saliva, his eyes fixed on Kurt's. Blaine didn't miss the way the blue eyes widened in shock. Nor did he miss the way black pupils engulfed the blue in lust. He knew then that Kurt understood that Blaine was not asking to go all the way, not yet. He knew that Kurt understood what Blaine needed.

Blaine then released Kurt's hands and he felt that hand dragging, once again, down his back, slowly. He couldn't help but shudder in anticipation. He felt Kurt's fingers reaching his crack once again and he let out a tiny whimper. He felt Kurt's index moving around his hole and he burrowed his face into Kurt's neck.

"Tell me if it hurts you." Kurt whispered and Blaine nodded.

Kurt circled Blaine's hole once more and then slowly pushed his finger in to the first knuckle. Blaine bit at Kurt's neck out of fright of it being painful more than of pain itself. Kurt groaned at the bite but he didn't move, waiting for Blaine's instructions.

"More," Blaine said in a low voice.

Without questions, trusting his boyfriend, Kurt nodded and pushed his finger into Blaine a little more until he couldn't go further.

"God!" Blaine breathed against Kurt's neck.

"How does it feel?" Kurt asked, trying not to move too much.

"It's not that painful... More stretch would be more painful I guess... It's just - huh – weird." Blaine responded, trying to breathe evenly. "Can - can you move?"

As a response, Kurt let his finger move out of Blaine's ass and in again, letting the curly haired boy enjoy the slow drag and the slight burn.

"Oh!" Blaine breathed when Kurt wriggle his finger a bit "That -"

Blaine resumed the thrusting movement of his hips and Kurt continued to move his finger the same way.

Blaine began kissing Kurt's mouth sloppily, muttering nonsense and praise to his boyfriend. Kurt, on the other hand, couldn't speak. He was lost in the pleasure Blaine was giving him. He was lost in the pleasure he knew he was giving to Blaine.

Eventually, Blaine's thrusts turned erratic and Kurt didn't dare to move his finger out of Blaine's hole, only wriggle it inside.

Kurt then felt a little bump, pressing on his fingertip. Blaine let out his loudest moan yet, and he came. The way Blaine's muscles clenched around Kurt's finger, the way Blaine continued to mutter against Kurt's lips, hell, the way he looked was enough to push Kurt over the edge too.

When they came down from their high, Kurt carefully removed his finger from Blaine.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked, his lips in Blaine's hair

"Wonderful." Blaine answered in a whisper "You?"

"M' great."

"I love you, Kurt."

They had to get up to clean off before their mixed come dried. But eventually they fell asleep in each other's arm.

Blaine woke up first, still holding Kurt. He took in his boyfriend peaceful sleeping features. How his chin had a tiny dip. How red his slightly open lips still were.

Then, he remembered the previous night and how perfect it was. How Kurt had made him feel so good. How he made Kurt feel good. His memories were perfect until they weren't anymore.

He told Kurt he loved him, like he did so many times before. Yet, this time, Kurt didn't respond. His heartbeat increased. Maybe he didn't hear him? Maybe he was too tired to respond? But the loudest Maybe of them all in Blaine's head was also the scariest: Maybe he doesn't love me anymore

He made sure to shove those feelings as far as he could within his head and forget them.

Later that day, Kurt was changing Charlie's diaper in fast and practiced movements. He was lost in his thoughts when he realized something.

Charlie has been with them for almost three months now, yet, she never had her period. Kurt put Charlie back in her chair and strapped her in. He then went to the living room where his father was. He wanted to know if Charlie had some hormonal problems of some kind. Blaine was in his room and Aaron was out for a walk. For Kurt, it was the perfect time to address the issue to Burt.

"Dad," Kurt said "Can I - Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Kiddo, what is it?" Burt asked as he pressed the mute button on the TV controller.

"Aside of what is written in Charlie's file... Does she - does she have another disease of some kind?"

"Not that I'm aware of... Why do you ask?"

Kurt took a deep breath. After all, it was weird for two guys to have a conversation about women natural function.

"Well... She's been with us for three months now and - and she never had her - you know - her -" Kurt took another breath to calm himself - "Her period."

Burt then burst into laughter, making Kurt blush from chest to ears.

"She's having depo povera injections every three months, Kurt. It's part of the side effects sometimes" Burt explained

"Isn't that a contraceptive?" Kurt asked remembering his sex-ed lessons with Miss Holliday.

"It is." Burt confirmed "It was part of the conditions if we wanted to take Charlie with us."

"WHAT?"

Kurt was shocked. Why would the social services want Charlie to take contraceptives? Unless they thought...

"Did Liz really think that you would rape here or something? Is she nuts?" Kurt asked, suddenly mad.

"No! It's not her decision. It's her boss... He didn't want Charlie to live with three mature guys, Kurt. He - he was scared we would take advantage of her. That she would get preg-"

"Who in their right mind would? She's harmless! And besides, Blaine and I are gay! Liz' certainly know that! Why wouldn't she tell her boss?"

"I don't know Kurt... But things like that happened in the past and they didn't want to take any chance. You know, not everyone is as good hearted as you think and -"

"I know that, dad. But I think we've proved that we are a good family. This is an insult to our integrity! We can rape her as long as she does not get pregnant! Is this the message they want to send to us? To other families that might not have good intentions? This is ridiculous! Why did they even let us keep her if they were to act like this? I-"

"Kurt!" Burt said loudly "I need you to calm down! This is no big deal okay? They only wanted what was best for Charlie."

"Fine..." Kurt said, letting it go and heading to his room to calm down.

"For now..." He murmured as he opened his computer to write a letter to Liz' boss.

No one in the world should doubt the Hummel family. No one should be so careless when it comes to a child. Especially a defenceless child like Charlie.
