Author's Notes: It was early, around 4:30am when the phone rang, Kurt was the first to hear is, turning on the lamp at the side of the room, rubbing his eyes as he adjusted to the light, he scowled at the phone for a brief moment, wondering who could be calling him at 4:30 in the morning before picking it up.
Blaine woke up when Kurt turn on the lamp, "Just hang up." Blaine whispered pulling the pillow over his head and turning so his back was facing the lamp.

"Hello." Kurt answered politely although; he was just about ready to kill whoever it was who decided to call this early.

"How?" Kurt said down the phone, this making Blaine turn around to look at his husband, as who in their right mind just phones to have a chat at 4:30am.

"Okay, we'll be there as soon as we can...Thanks for calling." Kurt said before hanging up and sitting in the bed looking awestruck.

"Would you like to tell me who that was?" Blaine asked, still not knowing who called or where they were going.

"Carole." Kurt said, still not making any direct eye contact with Blaine, Kurt's eyes misting over.

"And what did she have to say at 4:30 in the damn morning." Blaine said, still not understanding what was so important.

"Finn." Kurt said simply.

"What about Finn?" Blaine said impatiently.

Kurt simply turned to look at Blaine " He's...He's dead."

"That’s not funny, Kurt...What did she have to say?" Blaine said taking in Kurt's ghostly appearance.

"He died... alcohol poisoning" Kurt said tears slowly spilling over his cheeks.

Blaine automatically pulled Kurt into his arms, holding him close, knowing this was no longer a joke. "Shit...How'd that happen?" Blaine said trying to soothe Kurt the best that he could, because he didn't want his heavily pregnant boyfriend to get too stressed out this close to the due date.

"He was...um...He was at his friend’s party and he had way too many and his body just shut down..." Kurt said wiping his eyes quickly before getting out of the bed.

"Where are you going?" Blaine asked as he watched Kurt.

"Packing. We're going to have to get the next plane out." Blaine nodded quickly, grabbing his phone to look when he could get the next flight back to Ohio before getting out of the bed and helping Kurt to pack up both their things and Mason's things.

________________________________________
It was 7:00am and their flight would be in soon, they had waited at the airport for over an hour now, Mason was grumpy as he'd been woken earlier than usual and Kurt was still trying to process the events that led up to them being here.

A call came over the speakers, it was their flight and they were starting to board. Blaine took a hold of Kurt's hand while holding Mason, helping Kurt waddle to the boarding gate, they ignored anyone who decided to stare at Kurt swollen stomach as by now they were both used to it, and that was the least important thing that they had to worry about today.

Mason slept on the flight, Kurt not sleeping but resting his head on Blaine's shoulder, to shocked to sleep.

Their plane landed an hour and a half after it took off.

Burt greeted them at the airport, Kurt passing Mason to Blaine before running over and hugging his dad tightly, Burt hugged him back just as tightly, smiling over to Blaine and Mason.

Not a lot was said until they were back at the house of Burt and Carole, there were more people there than Kurt expected, but he was glad Carole was not alone during this time.

Puck, Sam, Mercedes, Brittany, Santana, Mike, Tina, Quinn and of course Rachel and hers and Finns daughter, Maria were there.

Carole, Rachel and Maria were all crying; Puck was trying to calm down Rachel, Sam trying calm down Carole as well as Santana, Mike and Tina while Mercedes, Quinn and Brittany tried to calm down Maria.

"Rachel." was all Kurt said to get her attention, she looked up automatically, standing up from the sofa and falling into Kurt's arms, Kurt held her close, rubbing her back, knowing she needed the support, Blaine said a quick hello to the Glee kids before walking over to Carole, wrapping an arm around her, while sitting Mason on his lap.

"It was so sudden." Carole said "He just went out for a few drinks with his friends and before we knew it, we get a phone call." Carole cut herself off, sobs racking though her body.

"It’s okay, Carole." Blaine said, kissing her forehead.

Kurt was still hugging Rachel, himself to shocked to cry.

"I don't know why him, he was the nicest guy." Puck said, taking Mason from Blaine.

Rachel walked across the room to sit with Carole, trying to console each other, this meaning Kurt was able to cross the room and pick up his crying niece holding her close.

"When’s the funeral?" Kurt asked cradling Maria as Blaine came up behind him wrapping his arms around the pair of them resting his chin on Kurt's shoulder.

"Next week." Burt said taking off his baseball cap and running a hand over his bald head.

"Give me the bags and I'll take them up to your room." Burt said taking the large suitcase of stuff up to Kurt's old bedroom.

Everyone left around 8:00 that evening, all giving their apologizes, Blaine had put Mason down while Kurt cooked dinner, Rachel and Maria were also staying over, Maria already asleep, due to the emotional draining day.

Kurt served dinner and they all ate in silence, trying to come to terms with things.

Rachel went up to bed first thanking Kurt for the food and Carole and Burt for their hospitality but needing her rest for the next few days.

Carole went up not long after Rachel, giving both boys and Burt a kiss.

"I never thought I would out live one of my kids." Burt said finally, breaking the silence that hung over the family all day.

"It’s taken us all by surprise." Blaine said, Kurt sitting in his lap.

"You never think that, as a parent, you never think you'll have to burying one of your kids. It's really shaken Carole. “Burt said sighing.

"What about you, dad?" Kurt said speaking up "You've not been stressing yourself out?" Kurt always worries about his dad being too stressed and getting ill again.

"Don't worry about me Kiddo. Worry about yourself, you're the one is due to give birth in less than a week." Burt said giving off a calming effect "Why don't you get an early night?" Burt asked.

"That would be a great idea." Blaine agreed slowly pushing Kurt up.

"Okay..." Kurt said "Night dad." Kurt said walking over and giving his dad a hug before going up the stairs.

"Don't worry; I'll take care of him.” Blaine smiled, also giving Burt a goodnight hug.

"I don't even need to tell you anymore." Burt laughed half heartedly "Night kid."

Blaine followed Kurt up the stairs, seeing he was already in bed, Blaine, got ready and got in next to him, allowing Kurt to cuddle into his side, Blaine being there for reassurance, because after all, Kurt's brother had just died, and Blaine was sure Kurt was hurt by this more than he let on.
