First I would like to thank everyone for all of the story alerts I got for this story. 11 in less then 24 hours. I was so surprised and honored you would invest in this story. I would also like to thank sharion69 for my one review. That was very sweet of you. So this chapter is dedicated to you for taking the time to let me know you liked it.

Sorry these chapters are so sad but they will get better. I promise.

It was 10am and Kurt and Blaine had been up since 6am. Blaine had talked to his editor and had gotten a 3-week extension on his book. Kurt talked to the theater director and she gave him the week off.

They had told everyone they didn't want any visitors today so they were shocked and a little annoyed when the bell rang.

"I got it." Kurt said. He put Kate down in her bouncy chair and opened the door.

"Gavin hello." Kurt said.

"I'm so sorry to come by unannounced but I'm not here as Danielle's co-worker I am here as the head of her estate."

"Please come in." The three of them sat at the table with the babies in their arms.

"I know this must be hard for you to think about but we need to make some decisions. When she had the babies we sat down and wrote out a will. She has burial instructions and a list of assets. She wanted everything to go to you Blaine."

"What about the children?" Blaine asked.

"Including the children. She wanted both of you to raise them."

"Us?"

"Yes."

"Not my parents?"

"No. She was very adamant that the children be in both of your care."

They sat in silence for a moment.

"I know this is a lot to take on so I can give you some time to think about what that means for the two of you."

"If theoretically we did take them, what would we have to do?"

"Well you would have to legally adopt them. Which means an interview with a social working, a house call from a social working, and 6 months of probation. The good thing is you are married, both of you have a clean criminal record, and this is explicitly what she wanted so we shouldn't have any problems with the court. The only problem that might come up is if your parents fight for custody."

"They are aloud to do that?"

"As close living relatives, yes they can fight for custody if they think they would be better parents. Then it would be up to the court to decide."

"But she wanted us."

"I know but that's not the only factor that goes into the decision. Look we are getting way ahead of ourselves. You guys need to sit down and decide if this is what you want."

"What if we didn't take them?"

"Then they would go to your parents. If they didn't want to take on the burden then they would go to the next living relative or social services."

Again they sat in silence for a moment.

"We need to talk about burial." Gavin said.

Blaine took a deep breath.

"I don't know what she wanted."

"She has it all written down. She wants to be buried in Lima. I can make all of the arraignments."

Blaine just shook his head.

"If you don't have any more questions I am going to go now. But before I do," Gavin reached into his briefcase and pulled out a sealed envelope with Blaine's name on it. "She wanted me to give this to you. I didn't read it. She said it was only for you."

Blaine took the letter and put it on the table.

"Thank you for coming." Kurt said. He got and walked Gavin out.

"Can you watch them for a moment? I should really go read the letter." Blaine asked.

"Of course." Kurt said.

Blaine put Garret back into his bouncy seat, picked up the letter, and walked into the bedroom. He sat down on the bed and ran his fingers over the front of the envelope. BLAINE was written in Danielle's perfect handwriting. He took a breath then carefully opened the letter.

Blaine,

If you are reading this, that means I'm gone. I know this must be a difficult time for you but I need to ask a favor. I'm sure you are asking yourself why I left you Kate and Garret.

I got to witness you and Kurt fall in love. That's how I know you guys can do this. You might not know it yet but that man you have is going to be an amazing father, second only to yourself. I wouldn't want my children to be raised by anyone else. You and I always saw things the same way. I want them to know how amazing the world is and how much is out there for them. I know you will teach them these things. You and Kurt are just starting your lives together and I understand this is a big favor to ask, but please consider it.

I'm sitting here at my desk writing this letter hoping you never read it. But if you do there is one thing I want to tell you. Don't let your career overshadow your family. It's been three months since the babies were born and I regret every second I'm not with them. Love them, play with them, and teach them right from wrong. Don't ever let yourself forget how important every moment is.

I have a box hidden up in the addict. When they turn 16 please give the box to Kate and Garret. Tell them I loved them, and I will always be watching over them.

I love you,

Danielle

Blaine only noticed he had started to cry when a tear hit the paper.

"Thank you. Goodnight." Kurt said, and then he hung up the phone. He walked into their bedroom to start getting ready for bed. Blaine was sitting on the bed looking at the bassinets. Kate and Garret were fast asleep. Kurt walked over and quietly sat down next to Blaine and wrapped his arm around Blaine's shoulders.

"We have to keep them." Blaine said.

"I know." Kurt said.

"Do you think we are ready?" Blaine asked

"Well, I never thought I would be a dad this early or by these circumstances, but with you, I know we can do it." Kurt said as he lightly placed a kiss on Blaine's forehead.

"Who was on the phone?"

"Gavin. He made all of the arraignments. He also got your parents a connecting flight to Ohio so they will be there tonight. We fly out tomorrow afternoon, and the service is on Friday. I called everyone they are all coming. There will be a gathering at my parent's house afterwards. I also called them and they will pick us up from the airport tomorrow night. Mom has a friend who will lend us two bassinets while we are there. Gavin is coming to finalize some details."

"Thank you so much for doing this babe. I don't think I could have made all those calls."

"I know sweetheart." Kurt said will another kiss to his forehead.

They sat looking at the babies for a few more minutes then got into bed. They had a very long week a head of them.

Sorry this chapter was so short. The next one should be pretty long. I have a 7-hour plane ride on Thursday so I should have something for you guys Thursday night or Friday morning.

Please please please review.

As always thanks for reading,

ST
