Two Daddies – Chapter XVI:

                Blaine estranges to see Lisa still in the house when he gets home:

                “Lisa? Is everything all right?”

                Before she could answer, Kurt throws his arms around Blaine’s neck and starts crying on his shoulder:

                “Our son hates me, Blaine.”

                Blaine, whose day hasn’t been easy as well, caresses Kurt’s head and question what’s happening.

                Lisa is the one to talk, since all Kurt can do at the moment is sob. After hearing the story, Blaine thanks the nanny and says that she can go now he’s home. She seems more than pleased to leave. Blaine decides to start out with Ade.

                Kurt is in the living room waiting for Blaine finish talking with Adrian. However, Blaine’s expression as he exits the boy’s room doesn’t give him many hopes. He tries anyway:

                “So?”

                Blaine sighs:

                “He’s asleep now. He believed me that we won’t abandon him but he’s still afraid of you.”

                Kurt feels the tears running down his face. Blaine lowers his head in frustration:

                “Can I tell you my bad news now?”

                Kurt just groans. Blaine approaches him:

                “My dear brother has sent me an e-mail. Someone showed him Rachel’s video and he decided it was a good idea to write to me telling  it was an absurd. He said I was exposing my kid not in a good way and that I was throwing my career down to the dumpsters. Not only my career but Rachel’s as well, and that would ruin my chances even as an agent. He said it in such a pejorative way.  To sum up, he finishes the e-mail telling me that he and dad were right and that we are terrible parents.”

                Kurt takes a few moments before he can really absorb the information: was Cooper that much of a jerk?  He looks at Blaine who seams resigned:

                “That’s my brother.”

                “An idiot, that’s what he is! But although I don’t agree with his methods I have to agree that we must be doing something wrong. You know, parenting-wise.”

                Blaine then realizes how much Kurt was affected by today’s incident.  He approaches his husband and grabs his shoulders:

                “Don’t punish yourself so much. You’ve lost your head today. We are all vulnerable to that.”

                “You should have seen his face, Blee. The scared look on his face as he ran away from me; it just breaks my heart. And I can’t stop remembering it over and over again. He spent the rest of the day in his room holding to Lisa so she could protect him from me. My own son, Blaine! I was supposed to be the one who is always there to protect him and all I did was hurt the Little Angel. He has already been through so much in his life.”

                Blaine didn’t exactly know how to calm Kurt down. He would feel the same if he was in Kurt’s situation. In fact, he’d always believed he would be the first one to screw things up badly with Adrian. Now that Kurt was the one who had messed things up, he didn’t know how to act:

                “Everything will be back to normal, Kurt. I’m sure he still loves you. Something like that would happen sooner or later. I’ve always thought it would be me. You are always so centered; you are my rock.”

                Kurt rests his head on Blaine’s shoulder:

                “Now what do I do?”

                “I don’t know, Gorgeous, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out somehow.”

                Later that night, Adrian appears in his fathers’ bedroom. He walks straightly to Kurt whose face lights up with hope. Kurt uses his smoother tune:

                “Sweet Prince, I’m so sorry.”

                Adrian doesn’t answer but his face is pale. Kurt try again:

                “Sweetie, what’s wrong…”

                Before he could complete his sentence, Adrian pukes on him. For one moment Kurt thinks it can be some kind of revenge but he sees that Adrian’s face is getting paler. He puts his hand on his son forehead:

                “Ady, you are burning in fever.”

                Kurt gets up to give the boy a warm bath but Blaine stops him:

                “Let me deal with this. You better change into clean clothes.”

                Kurt cleans up the bedroom and then himself. He then enters awkwardly Adrian’s room where Blaine is with the boy. Blaine looks concerned:

                “The fever won’t come down. Even after the bath and the medicine, he’s still 104 degrees.”

                Kurt doesn’t hesitate:

                “I’m calling a cab. We’re taking him to the hospital.”
