Two Daddies – Chapter XV:

                “Hello?”

                “Kurt? It’s Harriet. I just wanted to say that the idea of asking Rachel Berry to make that video was fantastic.”

                “Well, it was actually Blaine’s idea. I was caught by surprise.”

                “Then congratulate him. I think I can gather more families to formally ask for a meeting with Mrs. Bane. I’ll call whenever I get an update on the subject.”

                “Thank you, Harriet.”

                Kurt hangs out the phone and Blaine is waiting to know what it was about. Kurt just says:

                “Apparently Harriet is a big fan of your and Rachel’s video.”

                Blaine winks at him and gets his briefcase to go to work:

                “Your husband is a hero. Wait me for dinner, okay?”

                “Cocky!”

                Kurt is again at home with a restless Adrian and piles and piles of sketches to finish. He doesn’t have much time to work as their nanny just arrives there after school. Even when she’s with them, Ady doesn’t stop to knock on Kurt’s door requiring his attention. Poor Lisa tries her best, but sometimes Adrian is just unmanageable.

                Today, Kurt has almost finished drawing all the costumes for the show. He’s just adding some final touches and is supposed to send them in two days to the producers. He should finish this in the few hours Lisa stood with Ady. That was all the time he had.

                He sits on his desk and stares at all the sketches spread around him. They seemed nice everyone in particular but they didn’t seem to make an entirety. If he just added some green. Like the color of Rachel’s dress in the video. His head is turned to the video and he starts to worry about Adrian’s situation. Okay, focus. He looks again at the drawings and tries to find his line of thoughts. He could put a jacket on the male ensemble, just like the one Blaine owned. He’s now thinking of Blaine and how they were stressed out lately.

                Suddenly, Adrian starts screaming and Lisa’s voice yells for the boy to be quiet. Kurt gives up and goes see what’s happening:

                “Lisa, what’s that about now?”

                She smiles embarrassed:

                “I told him he would disturb you. I’m telling it’s time for his bath.”

                Adrian appears behind her:

                “I don’t want Lisa to give me my bath; I want you Daddy.”

                Kurt sighs:

                “Ady, how many times do I have to tell you that when I’m working and you are with Lisa it’s like I’m not at home?”

                “But you are at home. I can see you.”

                “Don’t try to be Mr. Smart Pants. Do what Lisa says. It’s like with your teacher at school; I trust her to take care of you so you must obey everything she says.”

                Adrian is whimsy:

                “I wish I was at school.”

                Lisa can tell that Kurt is upset with Adrian’s remark. She manages to take the boy by the hand and carries him to the bathroom. Kurt goes to the kitchen to prepare some coffee.

He takes his time and decides to do the dishes to see if he can clear up his mind enough to go back to work.

                When Kurt enters his room again he can’t believe his eyes: Adrian has drawn with his crayons in at least ten of Kurt’s sketches. Kurt loses his mind:

                “ADRIAN!”

                The boy enters a little scared in the room. Kurt is red with fury:

                “What have you done!?”

                Adrian’s voice isn’t louder than a whisper:

                “I was helping you finish your work so you can play with me…”

                “You think that will help me? Look what you've done! You have given me at least more two days of work and goodness knows if now I can finish this on time!”

                Kurt’s face is transfigured. Adrian has never seen his dad like that and is completely scared:

                “I’m sorry, Daddy.”

                Kurt isn’t thinking straight:

                “Sorry isn’t going to help anything!”

                Adrian starts to cry:

                “Now you hate me! I know you are just going to leave me at the orphanage like my mother did.”

                The boy turns away and goes running to his room. Lisa gives Kurt a shamefaced smile and runs after Adrian.

                Kurt is heartbroken with the things he said to his son. The look in Adrian’s face as he run away from him was killing Kurt inside. He just collapses on the floor and starts crying too.
