“Kurt! You’re phones ringing!” Finn yelled from where he, Rachel, and Candie where sitting in the kitchen waiting for him to fix breakfast.

“Well answer it damn it! Stop being such a dumb ass!” Santana yelled from the sofa where Brittany was playing with her hair.

“Wow what lovely language for this early in the morning.” Kurt remarked sarcastically running to grab his phone.

“You could’ve answered it.” Kurt said to Finn, it was after all sitting on the kitchen table next to all of them.

Finn just shrugged and Kurt answered the phone.

“Hello, Kurt Hummel speaking.”

“Good morning Kurt, this is James from the diner. Sorry to bother you but can you work my shift for me this morning?” James, a new friend, a new apparently needy friend from work asked groggily.

“Oh no are you sick?” Kurt asked concerned.

“Um no. Don’t tell the boss this; I’m just waaay to hung over to work. I figured you could use the hours and the pay.”

“Damn. I could use the pay. Okay James, I’ll cover for you. What time does your shift start?” Kurt replied.

“Oh it’s in like ten minutes.” James replied casually.

“Okay thanks!” Kurt hung up. “Shit shit shit! I have to go!” Kurt yelled kissing Candie goodbye and bolting out of the room. “Someone get Candie to school” He yelled on his way out the door.

“Way to be a good father figure dipshit! I got it covered! You owe me!” Santana yelled after him.

“Okay sweetheart, ready for school? You can put some cereal in a cup and take it on the go.” Santana said handing Candie her jacket and pouring some Lucky Charms into a red solo cup. “Shit, we’re out of lucky charms; you can have a mixture of that and my Special K.” Santana said mixing the two cereals together.

“We’re so ghetto. I’ll go to the store when I get off from work.” Finn laughed.

“Well who’s going to pick the kid up from school?” Santana asked.

“I got her. I’ll leave class a few minutes early, and go get her before my shift at the café. Hopefully Kurt will be off by then to come get her, otherwise she’ll have to stay there with me and you.” Rachel decided.

“Okay sounds like a plan.” Santana replied walking towards the door. “Damn, we got this parenting shit down.” She said proudly stepping out into the hall and waving goodbye.

“Hey “Tana, you forgetting something?” Brittany asked.

“What? No.” Santa said doing a double check. Purse, phone, Candie’s breakfast. “Oh right, Candie.” Santana said running back inside and grabbing a laughing Candie’s hand.

“Don’t tell Kurt.” They all said at once.

“Hey Blainers! I’m here to drop off ma kid!” Santana announced as she and Candie walked into Blaine’s classroom.

“Hi Mr. Anderson!” Candie said running over to give him a hug.

“Ew Candie, don’t hug your teacher, that’s weird.” Santana laughed and Blaine just stared at her his eyes trying to scream shut up.

“Oh come on Blainey boo, I know you’re not a phedo.  After all you’re totes banging Kurt.” She remarked stepping further into the room.

It was then that she could see the other faculty sitting at the desks in Blaine's room in some sort of meeting.

“I’m so sorry.” Santana couldn’t help but laugh as all the distinguished exec board people stared at Blaine and Blaine shrank uncomfortably.

 “Hello Ms. Lopez, good morning Candace. Please, do come in.” Blaine said trying to sound professional.

“Hello Mr. Anderson, Principle Anders, other important people of which I don’t know any of your names. I’m very sorry for my outburst. You see, Mr. Anderson is a very dear friend of mine and I was simply joking around, I didn’t know there was a meeting going on. I’m deeply sorry.” Santana tried her best to apologize.

“Okay, Ms. Lopez is it? Our school board is highly professional and what just happened cannot happen again. Do I make myself clear? It is no one here’s business of the goings on of Mr. Anderson’s life. I don’t care who he is ‘banging’ so long as it does not interfere with his teaching. Now I do recommend that you keep incidents like this to a minimal, otherwise they’re will be repercussions. The board has its eye on your family Ms. Lopez. I better not hear of anymore misdeeds.” Principle Anders spoke sternly and Santana nodded in agreement.

“Again, I’m very sorry. Have a nice day everyone. Bye Mr. Anderson. Bye Candie, I love you, Auntie Rachel will be picking you up after school and bringing you to my work and I’ll take you home from there.” Santana explained and kissed Candie’s forehead.

“Bye mommy, see you later.” Candie smiled and went and took a seat in the front of the classroom while Blaine continued to speak with the exec board, now a little more awkwardly.

“What have a gotten myself in to?” Blaine muttered but as soon as he turned around and saw the sparkling blue of Candie’s eyes and was immediately reminded why he’ll always stay.

No matter how crazy things got, he was in for the long haul.

No turning back now.
