Hi guys thank you for reviewing, There is a small spoiler in this chapter for an upcoming episode (17/18), not sure if it's a true spoiler but I have put (S) just before the spoiler comes up just to warn you. I'm also going to start putting ~o~ between scenes because there are going to be a lot of scene changes through each chapter from now on. So here it is!

Karofsky

The name ran through his head a thousand times Dave karofsky, he tried to take it all in but he couldn't, the man that took his first kiss, threatened his life, caused him physical and emotional pain most of his high school life was stood in front of him.

"K...Kurt Hummel" said Dave his face showing all the shock it could show

"Dave" was all Kurt could manage, his grip on the cart tightened as Dave came towards him.

"What are you doing here Hummel" said Dave in a tone that Kurt had not heard in years.

"It's a grocery store" said Kurt with a hint of sarcasm and confusion

Dave's gaze on Kurt drifted towards the two children sitting in the cart behind him "those yours" said Dave looking back at Kurt, Kurt gave a quick glance at his children and faced Dave once again "yes those children are mine", and Dave looked away for a moment.

"So are you still with that guy Blair" questioned Dave

"Blaine, yes were married" Kurt run his thumb over his wedding band, "you" replied Kurt

"No, so are they..." Dave motioned to the kids with his head "are they actually yours or..."

Kurt wondered why he was so interested in his life after years ago threatening to end it "Caden is Blaine's and Leila is mine, but they are both my children and they are both Blaine's children" Kurt had no worries stating that in front of the children as they had been told before who they each came from but they did not seem to care and never brought up the subject again.

"Oh right, I kind of guessed that one was his pointing at Caden" Kurt was astonished that he was referring to his kids as 'that' which made Kurt become a little angry "yes Caden is very much like Blaine" Kurt emphasised Cadens name.

"So what do you do now" asked Dave

"I'm in the fashion industry, and part owner of Blaine's company" said Kurt proudly because he knew that Dave would not have a career higher that Kurt's

"Oh... that's... That's good I guess how are you in the fashion industry around here?"

"I'm a designer for a shop in town and I do some work now and then for a company in New York" replied Kurt

"Well good for you, I have better things to be doing, so see you around" and with that Karofsky turned and quickly walked away.

"Daddy who was that man" asked Leila so innocently

"Just someone daddy knows sweetie" said Kurt staring at the spot Karofsky once stood. Kurt faced his children again and pushed the cart forward and continued with the rest of his shopping.

~o~

Kurt left the rest of the errands he had to run and went straight home from the store; he unloaded Leila, Caden and the shopping out of his BMW and put the groceries away. "Daddy, are you ok" asked Caden, Kurt stopped and looked at his son "yea I'm fine sweetie I just have a bit of a headache that's all" lied Kurt, the situation is far too complicated for a six year old.

"I saw you playing in the park today, did you make a new friend" asked Kurt quickly in hope of Caden dropping the subject of himself being ok.

Caden looked down at his lap and then back up at Kurt "sort of...well….he was the boy I was talking about"

"Oh, wow that's good then isn't it, was he nice to you today?" questioned Kurt

"Yea he's really nice his names Connor and he said that his mum said he shouldn't play with me but he did and now we are friends I think, because he said he just wanted a friend because he didn't have any and he said that it was cool because I have two dads"

Kurt was taken aback he assumed this child did not seem very nice, it was hard to imagine that it was the child in the park, all this child wanted was a friend "well that's sad honey, but now your friends maybe you could let him into your group of friends, it sounds like he's lonely" replied Kurt

"Yea I said he could eat lunch with us on Monday if he would like to and he said that he would" said Caden a lot happier with how this little situation was turning out.

"Your amazing you know that champ, I love you so much" said Kurt hugging his son and kissing the top of his head.

Kurt heard Blaine's range rover pull onto the drive, a few seconds later Blaine came through the door "babe I'm home", Kurt let go of Caden who ran to his dad to give him a hug and almost collided with Leila who evidently had the same idea, both of them ran into Blaine's legs and put their arms around him and didn't let go.

"Hey guys I missed you too but can I have my legs back" said Blaine giggling at his children, they let go and he bent down and picked them both up balancing them both on his hips. "I missed you daddy" said Leila "and I missed both of you too" replied Blaine

Kurt walked into the hallway and spotted Blaine "Hey honey your home early" said Kurt as he leaned in to Kiss Blaine, "Yea changed the colour scheme I rescheduled her to another day" said Blaine rolling his eyes.

"Well that's good because I wanted to talk to you about something" Kurt said.

Blaine gave his husband a serious and concerned look "Is everything ok" he said putting his children on the floor again.

"Yea yea, everything's fine I just ran into someone today that's all" they both walked into the kitchen and sat at the island in the middle of the room.

Blaine could tell that something was worrying Kurt, he reached out took Kurt's hands in his "Babe are you sure you're ok, tell me what's up"

"Well today I was in the grocery store and I ran into….Dave….Dave Karofsky" said Kurt stumbling over his words

Blaine's grip on his husbands hands tightened "Oh wow, that's weird, why is he over this way, did he say anything to you"

"I don't know why he's over this way I didn't get a chance to ask him anything because he was questioning me " said Kurt staring into his husbands eyes.

"What was he asking you "replied Blaine,"well he was asking about the kids and you and what we do now and just general stuff, it was creepy" Said Kurt still a bit confused over why Dave had asked so many questions.

"Ok then that's a bit weird, he was probably just curious as to where your life has taken you from all those years ago when he was awful to you" replied Blaine also a little confused.

"I guess so, I'm starving let's get dinner on" replied Kurt. "As long as I get desert" said Blaine raising his eyebrows, "ok we go from psycho bully to dinner to sex in a matter of seconds, that's creepy Blaine, but yes you'll get it if you're lucky" said Kurt grinning at his husband.

Kurt and Blaine started to prepare dinner for all four of them when Kurt had more news to drop on Blaine "oh it's also cool to have two dads now days"

Blaine stopped chopping vegetables and looked at Kurt with a grin on his face "really, how so", "Well you see…. (Blaine knew this would be a long explanation from the way he started it)…. Today on the way to the park Caden said a boy at his school said he couldn't play with him because he had two dads and Caden said he thought it was cool and so did his friends, anyway we got to the park after talking about this kid at school and Caden was playing with a boy for some time while we were there and it turns out the boy at the park is the boy from school and now they are kind of friends because this boy Connor doesn't have any friends and he also said it was cool that Caden had two dads and his mum had said that he shouldn't play with Caden"

Blaine starred at Kurt processing everything he just said at 100 mph "Wow, our little man has been through a lot today, so he is friends with this kid now?" question Blaine

"I guess so because Caden wants him to sit with him at lunch" replied Kurt

"How did we get such a great son" asked Blaine

Kurt put his arms round Blaine's neck "It must be genetic I think" as he then pulled Blaine in for a kiss.

Five hours later Kurt lay in bed with his head in Blaine's chest tracing patterns on Blaine's skin while Blaine lay playing with Kurt's hair "you know I love you right" whispered Kurt, Blaine looked down at his husband and laughed a little "I hope so, after all these years and what we just did I kind of already knew you loved me" replied Blaine with a big grin on his face, Kurt looked up a starred into his husbands eyes "I know but I just like saying it , me and you we'll make it through anything right?", Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes and slowly moved down to kiss him on the lips "of course we will, you sure you're ok, this Karofsky thing seems to have gotten to you I think", "Yea it was just weird seeing him again today, oh well tomorrows a new day, Il be fine" replied Kurt and with that they both drifted off to sleep.

~o~

The next day Blaine dropped the kids off at school and made his was to work and so did Kurt, today seemed just like any other day.

Caden sat drawing at the art table when Connor came up and stood next to him to see what he was drawing; Caden had drawn a picture of his family and their house. "Hey, what you doing" said Connor, Caden looked up and saw his newly formed friend of one day "Hi, I'm drawing do you want to do some as well", Connor sat dawn next to Caden and took a piece of paper and started to draw filling the page with various different colours of crayon.

"I'm sorry for what I said about your dads the other day, my mum doesn't think that having two dads is cool" said Connor as he stopped drawing to look at Caden.

"It's ok, so are we friends now" asked Caden hopefully

Connor looked at Caden a little shocked at what he just asked him "you really want to be my friend" Connor asked.

"Sure I do, if you want to be my friend as well" Caden replied

"I would like that" said Connor and they both laughed and gave each other a small hug

They both spent the rest of the time drawing and talking about their favourite movies and random subjects when the bell rang signalling break time and they both ran out the doors hand in hand leaving the play assistants to put their drawings in their bags, Connors drawing just so happened to be a drawing of him and his new friend.

~o~

"Kurt this has to be one of your best deigns yet" said Mandy holding up the design Kurt had finished days before.

"Really I was not sure about this one it kind of sticks out from my other designs" said Kurt with one hand on his hip contemplating if the design is worthy enough to be sent off to become a real outfit that would one day hang on the shelves of this very store and even sent to a fashion department in New york.

"Believe me, this will blow other designers minds" Mandy said smiling at Kurt once more "So any plans for the weekend" she asked Kurt

"We just had the weekend and your looking forward to the next one already" Kurt laughed "Well I'm meeting my friend Mercedes for coffee on Saturday and most probably doing something with Blaine and the Kids on Sunday" replied Kurt with a smile as he thought about his weekend.

"You're so lucky to have to have Blaine you know, most girls would do anything to have him, all the decent guys are gay, there's no hope for me" said Mandy and they both laughed over Mandy's little comment.

The Laughter was grinded to halt when the door opened and stood in the door way was Karofsky.

'This can't be happening not again, 2 days in a row this is real bad luck' thought Kurt as he put his hands on the counter in front of him.

Karofsky walked over and stared at Kurt for a moment "Mandy can you give us a minute please" said Kurt. "eerr sure Il be out in the studio if you need me" she replied and made her way out the back.

"What are you doing here Dave, because I can tell that you're definitely not browsing for the next fashion piece" said Kurt staring into Karofsky's eyes.

"I came to see you actually, about yesterday..." Dave was cut off by Kurt

"How the hell did you find out where I work" questioned Kurt

"well you said that was in fashion and in town and I didn't imagine you would be working somewhere low key and this is the only place in town that's decent and actually has that proper fashion stuff you know" said Dave looking around the store

Kurt a little confused at what he meant and also a little shocked that he had managed to find the store "well you found me, what do want?" replied Kurt looking down and absently flicking through the appointments book.

"I...I don't know t… to catch up or something like that I guess" replied Dave looking at the ground

Kurt stared at Karofsky in amazement 'catch up, did he really just say that' he thought "catch up are you serious, well I'm sorry but we don't have lockers for you to slam me into here" Kurt said now getting angrier by the second.

Dave did not know what to do, he did not expect Kurt to be so blunt with him, and the Kurt he knew that would be scared of him all the time did not seem so scared anymore. "Well that was a long time ago, I … I came out you know, a year after graduation" said Dave

"Well good for you but what do you expect me to just forgive you or something is that what you want?" replied Kurt

Dave shrugged his shoulders and looked back up to Kurt a little angry now (S) "well after I came out my dad kicked me out, I lost friends and I came out because of you, you blackmailed me into going to one of those damn LGBT meetings and everything seemed fine until I came out because of you!" said Dave his voice no raising

Kurt really did not know what to say to this, he spent a minute processing this "What was I supposed to do Dave let you carry on harassing me and hurting me, I couldn't let that happen to Blaine once he transferred to McKinley so the only choice I had was to blackmail you" Kurt took a breath to calm down " It was you who decided to come out not me, it's you who seemed to of taken those meetings the wrong way, they were to help you come to terms with everything not just come out the closet when you clearly where not ready" Kurt said looking into Karofskys eyes.

"Dave I…I know that blackmailing you to go to those meetings was kind of wrong but I had no choice you were getting out of control" Kurt added.

Dave was silent for a minute before coming back with a reply "yea well it was hard for me and you made it even harder those meetings confused me even more and then I thought coming out would solve everything I ended up losing my life as I knew it" replied Dave

"well I am sorry that things did not turn out Ok for you Dave, but why now, why are you coming out with all this now?" replied Kurt

"Because Kurt, I never got to tell anyone all this, I had no real friends to go to and I couldn't go to anyone who was friends with you because they hated me and my family don't even care if I'm dead or alive, I am sorry for the pain I caused you in high school but I was so confused and scared of you and then I see you all these years later, married with kids and a career and everything turned out great for you and here I am still not accepting myself " Dave said with a hint of sadness in his voice

Kurt was shocked and saddened by his outburst of what had happened to him, it shocked Kurt that he himself felt sorry for Dave ' so that's why he asked all those questions' thought Kurt. "Dave I….I I'm sorry I had no idea what happened to you after high school and to tell the truth I did not really care but… what do you want, do you want help or… is this just letting off steam" replied Kurt

Now Dave was shocked that Kurt had just offered him help. "Why would you help me Kurt, you hate me and don't deny Ii because I know you do, just like everyone else"

"I'm not going to deny it Dave but you clearly have changed a little and I think that what you need is to see that there is a world out there that wouldn't hate you if you just accepted and embraced who you are" said Kurt

"Look at me Kurt I'm 27, It's a little late for that" replied Dave

"it's never too late, I will help you if you think that's what you need, I don't forgive you yet and I don't know if I ever will but this is a start" Said Kurt looking into Dave's eyes.

"Yea, I would like that Kurt, thank you"

"So let's say coffee on Wednesday at the shop just around the corner, around 1" replied Kurt

"Yea that sounds good, see you then" Dave walked towards the doors and stopped and looked at Kurt once more "thanks" he said and Kurt gave him small smile and Dave carried on out the door.

Ok so there it is guys I was not sure if I should have ended it there but I don't want to put too much into each chapter but chapter 3 will be up soon hopefully, I also think chapter 3 is going to be Caden/Connor and Klaine and not so much Karofsky but he will be back at some point. Please review.
