"Hi daddy!" Candie smiled happily running over to hug her father as he stepped into the house that evening.
"Hey baby girl, how was your day? Did you have fun Auntie Rachel and Uncle Finn?" Kurt asked bending down to hug his daughter.
"Yuppers! We had an awesome time!" Candie cheered excitedly.
"And I can't wait to hear all about it!" Kurt smiled. 
"Daddy what's that on your face?" Candie asked concerned. 
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked hoping Santana hadn't left obscene hickeys all over him.
"It's almost like we both have black eyes. Did you trip too?" Candie asked lightly touching the side of Kurt's face.
Sure enough there was a piercing sting radiating threw the side of his face.
Oh. 
Right.
"Oh, that. I'm not sure what happened." Kurt frowned and Candie sensed his discomfort.
"Are you okay daddy?" Candie asked concerned, sitting down with him on the sofa, wrapping her tiny arms around his waist and pressing sweet little pecks to his side. "You know you can tell me anything." Candie said eliciting a sigh from Kurt.
"Candace, darling, you are far too wise and kind for your age. Just know that everything's going to be okay, and promise me you'll never ever let someone lay their hands on you. Remember, no one pushes the Hummel's around." Kurt reminded her, a stray tear falling from his eyes.
"I love you daddy." Candie said softly.
"I love you too sweet pea." Kurt said and pressed a kiss to his daughter’s forehead. 
"Come on, let’s go make dinner." Kurt said picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her to the kitchen.

"Hey Kurt, how’s Santana doing?" Rachel asked concerned.
"Better, we had a good talk. Then got f-u-c-k-i-n-g   w-a-s-t-e-d." Kurt spelled out so Candie wouldn't understand. 
"Wait you got what?" Finn asked confused. "Oh fucking wasted." Finn laughed understanding. 
"You're s-t-u-p-i-d." Rachel teased.
"Hey!" Finn said insulted.
"Both of you just chill yo tits, I'm fine." Santana said walking into the room and grabbing a bottle of water.
"Hey mommy!" Candie smiled running over and hugging Santana.
"Hey baby, how was your day?" Santana asked.
"Amazing! Uncle Finn and I prank phone called people and me and Auntie Rachel talked about cute boys. It was the best!" Candie smiled.
"Prank calls? Really Finn?" Kurt laughed.
"Candie, don't prank call people, it’s rude." Kurt told her and Candie nodded. 
"You guys are lame." Santana laughed.
"I know right, we should have sung songs." Rachel suggested.
"Gaaaaaayyy." Finn groaned and Santana punched him in the arm.

 “Ooooh yay let’s sing songs!” Candie cheered happily.

“Hey, um, where’s Brittany? I wanted to talk to her.” Santana shrugged and Finn looked to Rachel.

“A guy called. His name was Zach, he came and he picked her up. She said they were going to talk and she’d be back tonight. I tried talking to her, but she just got mad and said ‘Santana wouldn’t treat me like this’ and left. I think she thought I was insulting her, I was just trying to tell her not to let him take advantage of her.” Rachel said sadly.

“She’s right; she can take care of herself.” Santana frowned.

“San, you’re not helping. Just give her a call and tell her to get home as soon as she can. It’s only seven now, it’s not like its late or anything.” Kurt reminded her.

“What about you? Shouldn’t you call Blaine?” Santana asked.

“Uh, I don’t know. It’s getting pretty late.” Kurt sighed and Santana glared at him.

“Fine. I’ll call him. Candie, sweetie, why don’t you sing with mommy. Daddy’s gotta go make a phone call.” Kurt shrugged, patting Candie’s head and walking away.

“Kurt! I’m so glad you called!” Kurt could hear the smile in Blaine’s voice.

“Hi Blaine.” Kurt sighed. “I’d kind of like to have this conversation in person; do you think you could come over?” Kurt said clutching the phone to his ear.

“I’ll be over in ten. I’m sorry Kurt.” Blaine said and Kurt could hear Blaine opening his car door in the background.

“I know Blaine, I know.”
