Sometimes life change.
It changes when you make big decisions like moving or taking a job offer.
But sometimes it changes form the little things. Some kind of change in your daily activity that you never though will change your life such drastically.
It can happen by missing your bus, being just slightly caught at work or in our case going to a different store, because the cereal your son usually eat were sold out at your regular store.
Burt Hummel met a woman named Lisa Anderson. A tiny lady with wild curly dark hair with kind hazel eyes. There was an instant connection.
And that's how the life of two little boys changed because of such decision.
How Kurt Elizabeth Hummel and Blaine James Anderson became step brothers.
"please Kurt, please. I am asking you to please just put your clothes on" Burt told his 10 years old son who refused to put the clothes his father pick just for this specific event.
Kurt looked up to his father with those piercing blue eyes that looked just like his mother's.
"I will NOT put my clothes on ,because I don't want to do this" Kurt sat on his bed and crossed his hands and legs in a huff. Burt looked at his son for a full second then turned his gaze down and sighed.
"Kurt it's only a matter of time before you do meet her. I waited a year and a half before you meet. You said that you were ready for this, they are on their way here. there is no turning back kurt." Burt kept looking at his son, waiting for a response from him. Kurt just sat thinking.
"I know I said that but I jus-" kurt stopped abruptly. "-THEY? who are they?" Kurt suddenly burst as he kept his look intensely at his father, looking for an explanation. Burt got confused for a second.
"I haven't told you that Lisa has a kid around your age?"
Kurt began to bite the inside of his mouth "well you obviously forgot to tell me" then pouted and looked down to his lap.
Burt closed his eyes tiredly "look Kurt I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. You will meet him tonight IF you put your clothes on" he said to kurt with a straight gaze.
"Fine..." Kurt said dragging the word out while lifting his hands in surrender. He jump from his bed and went to his dresser looking for his clothes and his favorite blue kept looking at him and then looked to the stairs.
"OK. you get dressed and I'm going to go put the table" Kurt just nodded in answer and Burt went downstairs.
Kurt stared at the bow tie he was holding and sighed deep in thought. what if this lady will be all mean to me like in cinderella? will I be a maid? kurt winced at the thought of it. Thouse colors won't go well with his skin color. Well I sure hope not! Well, better get dressed and meet her and her son.
Her son. Maybe I'll finally have a friend out of all of this?
The car kept going as they passed the houses on the road. A boy looked at the passing lights deep in thought, not hearing his mother calling for his attention.
"...ine?...Blaine?" his mother's voice snapped him from his thoughts.
"Hmm?" he asked lifting his gaze to her. she wore a nice fitting red summer dress that brough out the brown in her eyes. Her eyes were kind and gentle as she shifted them back to the road.
"Are you OK? you look a little...umm...stressed" she asked delicately, hoping he wasn't as nervous as she was.
Blaine looked down with a frown giving his answer a second he Ok? He was going with his mother to her boyfriend's house to meet him and his son. I wonder if they are nice. Blaine thought
Blaine looked back to the window of the car, watching as they came to a stop in fron a house. There was a car in the driveway but Blaine couldn't tell what kind it was. The lights in the house were on. He looked back to his mother.
"yeah, I'm good. Just a little bit scared they won't like me" He said with a small and sad voice looking down. Lisa's eyes got even softer as she looked at her worried son.
"Ohh honey... " she put a hand on his tiny shoulder "they will love you, I'm sure of it. You are so sweet and kind, there is no way they won't like you" she gave him a wide smile that always made him smile back at her.
He breathed a deep breath and looked back to the house. He could see that there was movement through the window. He looked back to his mother smiling
"OK... let's go" he said while opening the car door jumping out and stumbling just a little. He was still nervous, but he didn't want his mother to know it.
Lisa laughed silently at that and got her self out of the car to stand next to her son and hold his hand. she looked at him as he gave her a smile and she smiled back. she looked to the house.
"Let's go"
They kept walking until they reached the front door and rang the doorbell.
Kurt lay down on his bed dressed up and looked at his light blue colored ceiling deep in thoughts.
I hope they will like me. What if I do something stupid like spilling my drink all over her and she will hate me, and because of that she will leave dad? This year was the happiest I ever saw him. Well then I'm not going to make her to hate me!... Kurt smiled at his decision And he got up from his bed But then stoped.
What if her son will hate me and he will start bullying me like the other boys at school? what if I-
-Ding dong! His thoughts were stopped abruptly by the doorbell ringing. He could hear his father shuffling downstairs towards the door, a door opening and then voices. the voices were muffled and he couldn't understand what they were saying, but there was definitely a female voice. she said something that led to a third person speaking. Probably a little boy by the sound of his voice. Then he heard his father calling for him.
"Kurt come down here! There are people that want to meet you." The muffled voices were back and Kurt had to come down. He got out to the hallway and he glanced one more time to his door thinking that in a couple of hours he will be back to his safe place.
With that last thought he walked to the stairs but stopped at the beginning of them. He looked down to the people at the bottom of the stairs that hadn't noticed his presence. His father was standing to the right with his good shirt on, but no baseball cap. He shifted his glance to the woman beside him. she was small with a red dress, high heels that added her an inch or two and curly black hair. she had nice bright smile.
The last figure was a small boy, probably a little shorter than him if it wasn't for black wild black hair of his. He wore a green T-shirt with a bow tie in a darker shade of green. This was weird to kurt because none of the boys at his school wore them except for him. He wore blue jeans and a pair of sneakers. He looked up and caught sight of a pair of hazel eyes.
They looked at each other for a few seconds and the boy looked down out of embarrassment.
Kurt kept looking at him and then stepped down the remaining steps, making himself noticeable to his father and Lisa.
"Ahh Kurt there you are, I want you to meet somebody" His father said as he led him to the woman in question. She smiled warmly at him and that made him smile back at her.
"Kurt, I heard so much about you from your father. I'm Lisa Anderson". she said as she extended her hand towards him. He took her hand in his and shook it, noticing the way her nails were all manicured.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Anderson" he let go of her hand.
"Ohh please sweetie call me Lisa, I feel old when I'm called Mrs. Anderson" she said looking at him with a fond expression.
"Lisa" he repeated.
Blaine looked at the boy up and down as he kept talking to his mother.
His chestnut hair was styled and neat. He had a pair of blue eyes that were the first thing that caught his attention about the boy. He wore black shoes, a dark blue jeans, sweater and a blue bow tie. HIs clothes were similar to his, but fancier. He looked down feeling self conscious.
I knew I should have worn the striped black and red shirt. I can't Believe I di- "and this is my son Blaine" He looked up at the mention of his name to see the boy in front of him, smiling and extending his hand.
"Hi.. umm.. I'm Kurt Hummel" He said waiting for me to shake his hand.
Blaine smiled back " Blaine Anderson" he said taking the little boy's hand.
"Well I don't know about you, but I'm ready to eat" Burt said while patting his stomach hungrily. Lisa laughed at that. "You are always hungry when you don't eat by you schedule"
"Well it's not my fault I'm hungry every 4 hours, I'm the one who is normal here" He said as he started to go to the dining room.
"Of course you are" Lisa said as she went after him.
Kurt and Blaine were left behind, standing next to each other and looking at the door their parents just went through.
Blaine sighed "are you as nervous as I am?" he asked in a small voice. Kurt turned to look at him and he began to bite the inside of his mouth again. "Yes, I am"
After a pause Kurt continued "But don't be. It's not like we are going to eat you" He laughed. Blaine smiled at that, feeling a little relieved.
"Kurt, Blaine. Are you coming? The food is getting cold" Lisa's voice came from the dining room.
"Come on, let's go" Kurt said as he skipped to the dining room. Blaine smiled and went after him.
Dinner went great. Conversation flowed all the time, there was laughter, jokes, and everybody felt comfortable with the other. It felt like a normal family.
"So, there's a reason we wanted to have dinner together, All four of us. We both wanted to tell you this in person. Last week I.. ahh... I proposed Lisa to marry me, and w-we are getting married. He said smiling Lisa looked fondly at him as she put her hand on Burt's hand on the table, and there you could a shining brand new ring that Blaine had never seen before.
"But before anything happens, we wanted to talk to you first and make sure that you are OK with this. Because if you are, things are going to change. And we're not going to do a thing if it will make you feel uncomfortable" Lisa finished looking down at the ring on her finger longingly.
Kurt and Blaine went silent, thinking. If this will happen they are going to live together, eat together, sleep at the same house and do every thing together as a family.
But as they saw the nervous and hopeful look on their parents face, they couldn't say anything but yes.
Yes, things are going to change around here.
