Kurt woke the kids up the next morning like he always did. But he wasn't in the mood to shout this morning, he didn't like it period, but today was rather difficult for him. Luckily, both Bridget and Andy came down right away and were ready to go without any sort of fight.

"Morning." Bridget said, happily.

"Morning sweetie." Kurt said. "Okay, I am going to let you two know that I am having Jan take you guys home after school."

"Why?" Bridget asked.

"I have a dentist appointment this afternoon. I have to get it fixed."

"I warned you dad." Bridget said. "Popcorn is like jaw breakers. Hazards." Kurt smiled at his daughter's comments, it actually distracted him from the pain he was feeling at the moment, but only for a second. "You should take us with you, it could be fun!" Bridget added and Kurt chuckled once again at that while Andy just rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"Sorry honey, maybe next time. You and your brother have school and I think it would only be fun for one of us." Kurt said and he could tell Andy was thankful for that as they then went out the door and Kurt dropped them off at school and went to his class.

Bridget walked with her father to the middle school part of the school until she saw her best friend and went over to her. "Guess who you are riding home with today?" Bridget asked her.

"You and your brother?" Her best friend, Cleo, answered.

"How did you know?"

"Similar way you found out. My mom told me this morning." Cleo told her and both girls laughed. "Anyway, I'm surprised that you didn't ask you father to go with him to his appointment."

"I did, but said 'no' since I have school." Bridget said and Cleo couldn't help but laugh. She would never understand her best friend's interest, much like her brother, but loved her anyway; that's why they were friends.

Cleo looked and frowned and then turned back to Bridget. "Look, it's the evil mistresses." Cleo warned and then Bridget saw what Cleo saw. Their names were Wilson and Gem. Wilson was named after her mother's favorite singer, Wilson Phillips, and Gem was short for Gemini, just because of that, they thought they were perfect and were the queen of everything; but they weren't even close.

"Oh look, it's Dr. Loser and her dog face assistant." Wilson said, as she and Gem walked past Cleo and Bridget. They never once talked to or bothered them, Bridget never understood why they took such an interest in them.

"I don't have a dog face, do I?" Cleo asked, wondering if her makeup was off today.

"No, your makeup is fine, Cleo. Why do you bother listening to them?" Bridget asked her, another thing she didn't understand. Anytime they said something to Cleo, she would always react as if they were right.

"You make it look so easy."

"What?" Bridget asked, confused.

"Being confident and not worry about what other people think?" Cleo asked her and Bridget didn't really know that she cared that much. She never really thought about it.

"I don't know. I guess it helps being the weird girl who is only interested in dentistry." Bridget said and Cleo nodded in agreement to that. "Anyway, I don't need their approval. Besides, you are all I need." Cleo smiled at this and put her arm around her best friend as they walked to class together.


The afternoon didn't come soon enough for Kurt as he was waiting patiently for it to be time to leave so he could get his tooth fixed. It was killing him all day so he gave his students an easy day of partner work, which was basically them having socialize the entire time and leaving them with homework to do.

Eventually it came and he left the substitute teacher with his students while he drove as quickly as he could to the dental office. The only thing that really excited him was being able to eat or not be distracted by the pain of his probably broken tooth.

He went into the office and signed in and waiting anxiously to be called back. Finally he was and he was brought back to room, where he sat in the chair and waited for his dentist. Neither Kurt nor his children had seen one since the move, so this would be a new experience.

Soon the door opened and Kurt looked up to see a tall man, with dark hair and brown eyes. "Hello, Mr… Hummel." He greeted and Kurt shot him a warm smile as the dentist extended out his hand to shake. Kurt took it and shook his hand. "I'm Dr. Anderson."

"Nice to meet you." Kurt replied.

"So this is your first time here, correct?" He asked Kurt and Kurt nodded.

"Yes, I moved here with my children a couple years ago, so this is new." Kurt told him as Blaine wrote some things down in his file. Kurt just couldn't help but notice his nice brown eyes, he couldn't take his eyes off them.

"Alright, so what brings you here today?"

"I think my tooth is broken. I was having popcorn last night and like an idiot, wasn't careful." Kurt told him and he nodded as he put the file down.

"Alright, we'll have a look and go from there." He told Kurt and he nodded. Blaine lowered his chair and did his examination on Kurt and afterwards told him they should do some x-rays first to confirm Dr. Anderson's theory. They did them very quickly, thanks to today's technology and it was confirmed on what needed to be done.

"So what needs to happen?" Kurt asked.

"Well, the tooth is broken and I have two options for you." He said. "Anyway, we can either do a root canal or we can just remove the tooth all together." Kurt thought about it for a second, but only thing that mattered to him was which would take less time.

"Which option gets me out of here quicker?" Kurt asked and the dentist smiled.

"They both will take an hour to do today. But the root canal requires a follow up in a few days. But I do high suggest a root canal, because I can save the tooth and it would benefit you." He said and Kurt sighed and decided to go with the dentist's suggestion.

"I guess we should save it." Kurt agreed and Dr. Anderson nodded happily to Kurt's decision.


Kurt came home around 6 after he was finished the first part of his procedure. He came in and saw that Jan stayed with them. "Hey, look who's home!" Jan said and Bridget looked over and smiled.

"Hi sweetie." Kurt greeted, his daughter. "Jan, you didn't have to watch them."

"I know, but I figured the Cleo and Bridget wanted to have some fun, so I thought might as well. Plus, I figured you were going to be a little sore from whatever happened to you." Jan said and Kurt grinned.

"Cleo, it's time to go home!" Jan exclaimed, interrupting the girls' conversation.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Bridget." Cleo and Jan left and then Bridget went over to her father, who then plopped down on the couch.

"Was it fun?" Bridget asked and Kurt grinned.

"Not really." Kurt said, told her honestly.

"Well maybe you will learn to be careful." That made Kurt laugh. But then something dawned on him.

"Where's your brother?"

"He told me that him and Taylor were going to do something and be back later." She told him. Kurt nodded, Andy did what he could to stay away from home as long as he could. Kurt would worry, but he was too exhausted and he trusted both Taylor and his son.


I decided to post the next chapter since I got some favorites and follows as well as a review :) If you leave a review for this chapter, I'll give you a little sneak peak of what will happen next chapter.

Blaine came in here and we also met Cleo, Bridget's best friend and then the two girls, Wilson and Gem. More to come!
