So… Now. This first part is told from Burt's pov. I'm not sure if all of the parts will be but we'll see.
Carefully but still kind of excitedly Kurt reached out his arms to keep balance and then, as in slow motion- but sill way too fast he took one small step before he fell into his mother's waiting arms and she- way more excited than Kurt and I together lifted him up and danced around with him.
"Yay, yay. Oh you're such a big boy Kurt."
I felt the smile on my lips grow if possible even bigger by the second as I watched Elizabeth dancing around. The almost identical smile on their lips as Kurt once again reached his arms to the side to feel as if he was flying.
"Oh yes you are." I said, I had stood up and came carefully patting Kurt on the back. "You're gonna be running around on that football field within the minute."
"Oh shush Burt." Elizabeth had stopped dancing and her smile had changed into a smaller, but just as full of excite and happiness. "We don't even know if he's going to like football. Oh no," She lifted Kurt over to me and stroke a tress of Kurt's hair back. "You might want to be a hairdresser, or a writer, or you like soccer. Or horse riding. Or anything you like. And do you know what." Kurt had already as good as fallen asleep in my grip and Elizabeth leaned forward to let her lips slightly touch his head. "I and daddy will still be there, and we'll love you no matter what." She smiled again. "Every step of the way."
I didn't say out loud what I thought for a brief moment. It was too poetic for me to say anyway. But as Elizabeth leaned against the shoulder that Kurt wasn't and rubbed my back. In a moment without any words or actions. Just love- the strongest and the purest kind of love that I had ever felt. But that thought didn't leave my head for many years, and for today Kurt had taken the first step of so very many more. I and Elizabeth would always be there for every step that he took in the future.
One step at a time
Random fact
I wanted to write a short piece today as I won't have much time for writing this weekend as I usually do. So this was the idea I had. I had planned to do a oneshot, but this one will be like four or five parts. All of them which will be very short. I hope you liked this first part, and I hope you'll like the rest.
See you next time
