Another story when I have so many in limbo but this one will be a bit different. I love Kurt more than what should be normal and I often think he could break so much more stereotype in Glee canon. I like the unexplored facets of his personality, so in this he is a accomplished Physician Assistant, he went to New York but he misses home. This is an homecoming story because sometimes you need to leave somewhere to realize how much you love it. Will it be a bed of roses? No. Neither is New York. If you don't remember it in canon, then it's AU. In this Sebastian family is accepting and just like what I would want him.

Pairings: Kurt/Sebastian, Finn/Rachel, Finn/Mercedes, Sam/David. Will become Mature later on.


Blaine Anderson was an asshole. That was the only conclusion Kurt Hummel could draw; all the little side comments, the emotional manipulation, all the feelings of not being good enough, when Blaine was the one cheating. He had convinced himself that all relationships go through hard times and that if he just tried harder, did more then Blaine wouldn't have to be so critical of him.

It's ironic that Kurt, the flamboyant one was the one who yearned to return to Lima. He did get to live part of his dream, he was in New York for college and finally he had settled on a career that he felt would lead him to fulfillment, everyone had expected him to go into theatre or fashion but Kurt Hummel love to break the mold every so often. So, it was packing to return to Lima that Kurt realized he needed to print another copy of his itinerary and asked to use Blaine laptop. Blaine seemed nervous but Kurt had put it down to him moving away and their future uncertainties. Blaine, who had cut off contact with the majority of his family to move to New York couldn't understand why Kurt wanted to leave New York for Ohio. The small town was where Kurt was bullied and chased out of his school by homophobic idiots who never tried to think outside the box.

As Kurt was about to log out of his e-mail he saw an IM pop-up, before he was able to close it out, he realized that this was obviously someone who knew Blaine quite well. Blaine, who had told Kurt his recent actions made him doubt his ability to be faithful, was cheating. Blaine who started to make comments about how Kurt looked without a shirt, whose little digs at Kurt body had Kurt reluctant to have sex and never with the light on. Blaine who never said, "I love you" anymore and only smiled when Kurt said it. All this time he was cheating and projecting his behavior unto Kurt. Blaine's action over the past few weeks made sense and turning to Blaine he told him his boyfriend just IM'd him. Kurt silently finished packing knowing that if he argued Blaine would find some way to turn this around on him. So, he just finished gathering his things has he listened to Blaine ramble about the entire thing and how he forced him to cheat.


At twenty-five Sebastian Smythe had quite a few things going for him. In his junior year at college he had started seeing a therapist and he made so much progress getting to the root of his promiscuity. He had loved living in California and with a Masters in Education he was returning to his Alma mater to be the new English teacher. He hoped that he would be able to help the many gay teens that sought out Dalton's zero tolerance policy and show them that it did get better. There was no reason for them to suffer in silence or to suffer alone. It wasn't the business executive that his father wanted or the politician his grandfather desired but his family was slowly understanding the fact that Sebastian did things his way and while they weren't too pleased they had made their own way and wouldn't force him to settle for less than what he thought he deserved.

When his family had first heard about his sexual history they had been surprised more than anything. Sebastian had always instinctively known his family loved him and accepted him but a part of him wanted to see how far he could push them away so he wouldn't disgrace his family. His parents had wanted to know where he had even gotten the idea that he was a disgrace to them because they had never sugarcoated their thoughts on his behavior before and his father was none too pleased to hear it was the thoughts of his second in command that had begun making veiled insults towards his son. He had wished his son had told him earlier but they had made strides in their relationship since then.

Sebastian had received job offers from all over the country. He knew that his family connections played a part of that but he had wanted to return to Ohio to be closer to his ailing grandparents. The last time he had visited their home his grandmother seemed so fragile and his grandfather seemed to be moving in slow motion. And, to hear from his family that they had hired a highly recommended Physician Assistant to lead his care who graduated LIU and was offered at least three jobs with well recognized doctors.

He'd worry that this was some crook that was trying to scam his grandparents or something but his father had assured him that everything had checked out and he shouldn't worry so much but old habits were hard to break. He had weeks before school started and he planned on getting reacquainted with his family. It was going to be weird living with them so close by, he didn't live the life he use to but he wasn't a nun and his hands could only do so much. He was sure he had to find a way to get his grandfather away from the idea that him staying with them was a good idea; he really should get a place closer to Westerville. He had tried to bring it up but then he had heard that the PA was going to live in during the week he felt it was better to hang around for a while and make sure no one was taking advantage of his family.


Kurt never thought he'd enjoy being back in Lima so much. He missed it and he missed his family but he never thought he'd miss the actual place and even the people. His Dad was happy he was home and until his job started he was helping his Dad out with the shop. It was nice whenever he ran into an old friend.

Kurt had run into Noah Puckerman, graduate from Ohio State University and music teacher for Lima local middle school. He apparently loved his job and made up for not going away to college by travelling as often as he could. He had invited Kurt over for dinner with his family and while he and Kurt had stayed in contact while Kurt was in New York, he saw how much more real the confidence Kurt displayed was and that façade he wore throughout High school gone.

Noah, Kurt had learned was in touch with Beth, they wrote letters and e-mailed and Skype and she visited him during the summers and even called him Dad. She would be coming in a few weeks to stay and Noah had told him that Shelby was sick and needed some extended treatment and wanted Beth to attend at least the first half of the school year with him. It was bittersweet for Noah, to have that amount of time with his daughter would be awesome but to know that Shelby might not get better scared him. Beth, even though she didn't know had already lost Quinn to adoption and it wouldn't be fair to her to lose Shelby to death.

Kurt had listened as Noah spoke about how much he wanted to take the situation and just make it better but he couldn't and that frustrated him to no end. Kurt remembered how he felt when he lost his mother and wished that pain on no child but he told Noah that fortunately Shelby's illness was caught very soon and her chances of success were still good. They had gone back to planning what to do with the remainder of the summer for Kurt, Beth and Noah.

LINE

Sebastian loved being home. He'd spend time with everyone who still lived in the general area and caught up with those who didn't develop a complex about their success. Its weird how Sebastian was the one who had arrogance issues at Dalton and now he was much calmer than he was before.

He'd nearly had a heart attack this morning when he heard voices coming from the kitchen. Julie usually ushered everyone into the dining room to eat because of her nervousness with her employers walking on tile floors at their age. So, when he walked in and heard a voice he knew he should remember he was so caught up in watching his grandfather do hand curls with a can of tomato sauce that he didn't focus on the face of the person helping him.

"Sebastian, you've decided to join us." He heard his grandmother said.

At the name Kurt's head snapped up. He hadn't seen Sebastian in years. They had developed a briefly amicable friendship after Dave's attempted suicide attempt but he hadn't kept in touch after high school. A few years ago he had asked Blaine if he had heard from him and thinking back he don't remember Blaine answering.

"Sebastian!" Kurt exclaimed. He almost hugged him before he decided against it. He offered a handshake instead.

"Do I still smell like craigslist?" Sebastian asked while he did what Kurt was reluctant to do and hugged him. He knew the voice sounded familiar, but seeing left no doubt in his mind that New York treated Kurt well.

Kurt blushed and laughed at the reminder of his less than stellar past with Sebastian, he was surprised that it was Sebastian family he was working with, he never made the connection but he wasn't adverse to it.

Ass Kurt went to help Joseph, Sebastian had a chance to check out Kurt's ass and the view was amazing. Even in those scrub style pants he could see the lean muscle and the tautness of it all. He knew Kurt was a health nut in high school but he looked far from starved. He trailed his eyes up Kurt's body and was in the process of trailing them back down when he say that his grandmother Eileen was staring at him knowingly. Julie laughed as she walked with Kurt to the back garden.

Sebastian was glad that he didn't have to worry about some scammer trying to defraud his grandparents but he hadn't had a relationship in so long that he while he didn't want to rush into anything, he was interested in getting to know Kurt better, much better.


Noah wasn't prepared to have Beth here so early but Shelby had called last night after Kurt left and told him that her surgery was cleared and she'd book her for the first flight out.

So, here he stood at Columbus International waiting to for his little girl to come through the gate. He always felt a surge of pride whenever a flight attendant asked him to sign the papers accepting Beth into his care and he knew this time would be no different.

Beth saw him before Noah saw her. He thinks she has Daddy Sonar because no matter how crowded it is she always squeals and tugs relentlessly on the flight attendants hand until they are forced to trot along in their heels and hope they don't fall.

It's always the same thing, Beth jumps on his leg until he picks her up and then they exchange kisses and I love you's and she continue to squeals. He knows that he really should show his ID and sign for her passport but he hasn't seen her in so long and even though she'll be there the welcome backs are just as important because each one means she'll leave one day.

He hears her waking up before he sees her in the rear view and he hopes she won't mind the changes to the place, he's left her room unfinished so that she can help set it up and feel more attached to it.

"Daddy, why doesn't Mom love me anymore?" Beth asks him and his heart breaks because she sounds so resigned to the idea that doesn't love her anymore and he isn't sure what to say because he doesn't want to get her hopes up with the surgery but he doesn't want to not tell her and has her thinking that Shelby doesn't love her because he thinks Shelby loves her more than air itself. More than any trophy from any national title show choir and so he tells her what he knows is the truth "Mom loves you Beth and you know that. She isn't feeling too well and Daddy missed you and wanted to spend some time with you so we decided for you to stay with Daddy."

He hopes she doesn't ask any questions but she's his child after all and he remembers what he was like when he was younger and he knows there will be more questions and he knows what it's like to feel deserted by a parent and he knows how she feels and the only solace he can find in the situation is not Shelby won't be going anywhere willingly.


Kurt sees the calls from Blaine. He doesn't answer. He barely convinced his Dad not to take a flight to New York but he knows that agreement is barely being honored on Burt's part. Blaine had apparently gotten Rachel involved and he was more than shock when Finn had told her to butt out. Apparently college and real world experience had given Finn the balls he never had in high school.

Finn has been hinted to him that he wants to break up with Rachel, he said the Bronx is an harden place and while Rachel loves living in New York he hates the fact that he had to go to the zoo to see a cow and really, he thinks Rachel is cheating with her director for her latest play. He knows she'll deny it but he won't stay here for much longer. He's already put in for a transfer to the Barnes and Nobles in Lima. He was relieved when a new district opened up and he was more than ready to manage more than one store.

Kurt see's Finn number flashing on the screen and runs to answer. Finn is trying to surprise Carole and Burt with his homecoming a feat that's proving impossible because twice today Carole has called Finn and it went straight to voicemail ad Rachel isn't answering her phone and it's not like Kurt is in New York anymore to check on them and Kurt is pretty sure Burt is ready to call the police and report Finn missing.

Kurt can't bear the look his dad is giving him because Burt knows that Kurt knows something, he has a sixth sense Kurt thinks but really Burt knows all of Kurt's tells and it's reassuring that he's never seen Kurt's tells about anything important.

"I'm going to pick up a friend from the airport." Kurt says before giving them anytime to ask him any questions. He runs into his car when he hears his phone ringing, "Dad, it's a good surprise I promise" and disconnect Burt's call because he's pretty sure Carole is a step from hysteria and he knows that it'll be worth it when they see Finn tonight.

Finn is standing at the airport pick up and he doesn't even let Kurt stop the car before he's trying to jump in and he's staring out the window


Sebastian loved his family but times like these he hates them. His grandfather spent the last thirty minutes singing the praises of his therapist and his grandmother another thirty minutes on Kurt's voice and "did I mention we all caught Sebastian checking him out?" and his mother is insistent that the next family dinner should extend to Kurt and Julie who his mother misses and never gets to spend time with anymore. Sebastian is sure Julie thinks his mother is crazy but their relationship is special, they met as friends in college and when Julie fell pregnant and was all alone his mother had sent her home to meet her family. Julie had unfortunately miscarried not long after and eventually went back to college but she saw the Smythe as family. In public she was their employee but when it was family Julie let her hair down and laugh. Sebastian's uncle had proposed to her a few years before and while he thought Julie hung the stars, Julie thought he made the stars that she hung. Sebastian often wondered why they took so long to get together because he was pretty sure they had a thing for each other but they were together now.

And then the doorbell ring and he's sure the gods are laughing at him because Uncle Mike and Julie are walking in with a car seat.

"We have something to tell you guys," Mike started.

"We have a baby!" Julie yelled because she couldn't believe she was a Mother. She would always miss her baby that she never got to hold but seeing this little girl made it all a little bit easier to deal with.

And suddenly everyone is yelling and everyone have questions like why no one knew they were even planning on adopting and how long have they been trying and can they hold the baby. And Julie is holding up this little girl with these big brown eyes and mocha skin and she was just adorable.

"I'm a grandmother again!" Eileen yelled.

"I wanted to tell you, we wanted to tell you but we came so close so many time and it fell though, the mothers would hold the baby and couldn't give it up. Then the agency found a mother who had the baby for a few weeks and couldn't keep her any longer. Her family thought she was babysitting for a friend when she returned from college with a baby and her father told her the baby couldn't stay anymore. She only asks that we keep her name as Ana Marisol. So, everyone meet Ana Marisol Juliana Smythe."

Ana Marisol or Ana was a gorgeous little girl. Her Hispanic heritage shone through and her head was already filled with brown curls. Uncle Mikes face had to be hurting was the second thing that Sebastian was thinking and of course he thought about how much he wanted to have that one day. He wanted a family of his own. A husband to share in the joys and struggles of life and children to grown and spoil and hope they turn into well rounded adults.


There will be no Angst, Just Love and Drama!
