Two Daddies – Chapter VIII:

                Blaine had felt when Kurt got out of bed in the middle of the night. Now, even if he was only half awake, Blaine could tell it had passed too much time even if Kurt had gone to the kitchen to drink some water. He got out of bed and heard Kurt’s sniffing sounds coming from the bathroom.

                Blaine sited next to Kurt on the floor; their backs touching the bathtub.

                Kurt said nothing but started sobbing harder. Blaine hid his head in his knees. After a few seconds he turned his head towards Kurt; his eyes were filled with water:

                “Why are we turning this on each other?”

                Kurt hugged him and started talking as his tears ran down Blaine’s back:

                “I don’t know. I don’t want it. It’s just… so difficult.”

                Blaine was calmer feeling Kurt in his arms. He started caressing Kurt’s back in order to calm him down too:

                “Now, more than ever, we need to be united. We’re going to face it together. It’s not only the two of us anymore. We need to be whole for Adrian.”

                Kurt started to stare into Blaine’s eyes. Slowly a smile drawing in his face:

                “Together.”

                “Always.”

                “The three of us.”

                “Our family.”

                Kurt begun to play with Blaine’s fingers in his hand:

                “Don’t do that anymore…”

                Blaine answered playfully:

                “What?”

                “Turn all cold and distant.”

                Blaine sighed and turned serious:

                “I still need to learn that. I keep repeating the same mistake with you.”

                Kurt just kisses him and get up from the floor:

                “Come on, let’s go to bed.”

                They fell asleep in each other’s arms and not another tear was spread that night.

The next morning, Blaine entered the kitchen with Adrian to find Kurt making heart shaped pancakes. Blaine hugged and kissed Kurt:

                “How can you still surprise me after all these years?”

                Adrian was looking suspicious from Kurt’s face to Blaine’s:

                “Why are you two smiling so much?”

                Immediately both of them looked at each other and, without saying a word, planted a kiss one in each of Adrian’s cheeks. Kurt picked him up saying:

                “Because we have you in our lives.”

The breakfast couldn’t be filled with more smiles. Blaine got up:

                “I must go to work now. You two try not to have too much fun without me.”

                Adrian giggled and Kurt answered winking at Blaine:

                “We’ll try…”

Kurt was kissing Blaine good-bye at the door when the phone rang:

                “Hello?”

                “Hello, Kurt Anderson? It’s Harriet Green, I’m Melissa’s mother.”

                “Of course I know you; Melissa is Adrian’s best friend. How can I help you?”

                “Actually, I’m calling to offer you my help. Miss Gilles told me why Adrian wasn’t in the kindergarten yesterday. I must say that what Mrs. Bane told you is not at all everyone’s opinion. And I personally think it was an absurd.”

                “Well, thank you. It’s very nice of you. But I know you understand why I did what I did.”

                “Sure, sure, Adrian’s safety comes first. The thing is, I work as school counselor and my husband is a lawyer and we think there are some measures we can try so Adrian is not the one out of that school. Can we invite the three of you over for lunch this Saturday?”

                “I’m anxious to take some action. For me this deal is not over yet. We’ll be there and we’ll bring a dessert.”

                “Great! It’s a deal then. It’s not the first thing Mrs. Bane has done that crosses the line. We have a lot to talk about. See you Saturday. Good bye.”

                “Bye. And thank you so much.”

                Blaine was back in the room and curious with the reason behind Kurt’s determinate smile:

                “What are you up to?”

                “Great news, honey, marvelous news. But you better go to work or you’ll be late.”

                Kurt kisses Blaine who is still suspicious of his husband’s attitude:

                “Be nice, Kurt.”

                “Don’t worry; I’ll be wonderful.”

                Blaine shakes his head mumbling “You’re impossible” and leaves to work.  Kurt had now a plan to work with.
