Here is something that I have been thinking of and have been wanting to do for a little while. I have had this written in my notebook and it has been begging me to write it so here it is. Don't worry I will still continue writing my other stories, this is just something that was nagging in my brain. And I missed writing about Emma, Owen and Dalton. So please enjoy the adventure we are about to go on. And please leave a review, follow and favorite. Thank you so much.

Life in New York for the Hummel-Anderson family was great. Emma had started 4th grade and Owen and Dalton were in the VPK program at the same school. That also made it easier for Kurt and Blaine to pick up and drop off the three of them at the same place instead of going to two different schools.

Kurt's fashion designs were now getting recognized worldwide. He was now designing wedding gowns, which he thought he would never do. Blaine hadn't released another album yet. He liked being a stay at home dad. But he had promised Kurt, once the boys entered kindergarten the following year, he would head back into the recording studio.

With everything going so well for Kurt and Blaine in New York, they rarely had the chance to fly out to Ohio to spend time with their families. Although, they would call their parents weekly and email them it wasn't the same as seeing them in person.

One evening while the kids were playing and Kurt was starting to make dinner, his phone began to ring. He took it out of his pocket and saw his dad's name light up across the screen.

"Hi dad." Kurt said happily.

"Hi son. How are you?" Burt replied, just as happy.

"I'm good. Is everything ok? I mean we just talked to each other yesterday." Kurt asked, worriedly.

Burt laughed. "Yes everything's fine." he said reassuringly.

Kurt let out a sigh of relief.

"But I wanted to tell you something." Burt started.

"Ok, what is it?" Kurt asked.

"I think you and Blaine should hear this. And don't worry, this is a good thing." Burt insisted.

"Ok, let me go get him." said Kurt, as he went to get his husband who was sitting in the living room.

"Blaine my dad's on the phone and wants to talk to both of us." Kurt told him as he sat on the couch next to Blaine.

Blaine up at Kurt from the book he was reading and smiled. "Ok, put it on speaker."

Kurt nodded and pressed a button on his phone. "Dad? Can you hear me?" he asked.

"Yes I can you." Burt replied. "Are you and Blaine both there?"

"Yes. Hi Burt." Blaine responded.

"Hi Blaine." greeted Burt. "Now that I have both of you on the phone, I have some good news to tell you."

"What is it?" Kurt asked, curiously.

"Well, I've given it a lot of thought and I've talked it over with Carole and I've made a decision. I'm going to retire." Burt replied.

Kurt was speechless. For as long as he could remember, his father had worked in the auto shop. Now he was retiring.

"That's great Burt." said Blaine, breaking the silence.

"Thanks Blaine." said Burt. "Hey son, are you still there?"

Kurt shook his head out of his own thoughts. "Yeah. Yeah, sorry. I'm still here." he said. "That's great dad. I'm really happy for you."

Burt smiled. "Well, I was thinking that we should celebrate."

Kurt and Blaine smiled. "Of course." replied Kurt.

"How about you guys fly out here and we'll have a party with everyone?" Blaine suggested.

"That sounds like a great idea." Kurt agreed.

Burt hummed in agreement. "Ok. I'll talk to Carole and then look up flights. I'll call you after we've made the arrangements."

"Sounds good dad." replied Kurt.

"Ok, I'll talk to you soon. Send the kids our love and we'll talk to you later." said Burt.

"Love you dad." said Kurt.

"Love you too son. Bye." said Burt and hung up the phone.

After hanging up with his father, Kurt and Blaine sat on the couch for a while, thinking about what they could do for Burt for his retirement.

"Do you think we should get him a gift for retiring?" Blaine asked.

"I don't know?" Kurt replied. "I mean, what do you get someone who's retiring from the auto shop business?"

Blaine shrugged. "Well, we could send him and Carole on a nice vacation." He suggested.

Kurt's eyes lit up. "Blaine. That's a great idea. But I think we should expand on it."

Blaine tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"Well, he's always talking about how he doesn't spend enough time with his kids and his grandkids. Also he's always wanted to take a family vacation with all of us. Right?"

Blaine nodded in agreement.

"So why don't we all go on a vacation?" Kurt suggested.

"Honey, we all just went to Disney World. Remember?" Blaine reminded him.

Kurt shook his head. "No silly. I mean a really nice vacation. Where he doesn't have to worry about a thing."

Blaine looked at his husband, still confused.

Kurt sighed. "Ok. I know this might seem a little out there, but why don't we book a cruise?"

Blaine looked at Kurt wide eyed "What?"

Kurt nodded. "Yes. I mean they have everything. They have kids activities, they have a spa and pools. They have an all you can eat buffet."

"But aren't they a little pricey?" Blaine asked.

"I'm sure we can find something within our price range and for a group." Kurt insisted.

Blaine smiled. "Is this going to be your dad's retirement present?"

"Actually I was sort of thinking this could be the present and party in one." Kurt replied.

Blaine laughed. "I love you."

Kurt smiled and leaned in to kiss Blaine on the lips. "I love you too."

Well, there you go. I hope you liked it. Please leave a review, follow and favorite. And I will see you in the next chapter.
