From Pie to Tots

Chapter 2

Apple Cobbler

Carol happily put another scoop of ice cream on her plate as she took her work lunch. She was glad to ditch the turkey sandwich she'd made for Kurt's homemade Cobbler… oh so much better. She ate it happily, smiling, but her mother senses tingled and she knew something was up. She went to ask, but the Karofsky boy put another piece of cobbler on her plate… and well… suddenly the treat seemed very… no.. No, she looked at Kurt, taking another bite of pie as Finn put whip cream on top. It was at this point she hesitated and looked at them.

"Boys? Is everything okay?" asked Carol looking at her boys a couple times and then to Karofsky who was twiddling his thumbs.

"Yes," smiled Finn and Kurt at the exact time, she looked at Dave who looked paranoid, then her eyes went wide and she looked at Finn.

"Nobody is pregnant are they?" she asked quickly.

"What? No… Rachel… no, were not… active," said Finn, his strong persona breaking into slight panic, she looked at Kurt.

"Really? Really?" asked Kurt with a raised brow, she sighed and smiled.

"That's good," said Carol, taking another bite of cobbler.

"I do have something to tell you though," said Kurt giving his best innocent smile, "I'm seeing someone."

"It's not Blaine again is it?" asked Carol, eyes wide, "I'm all for forgiveness, but I might run him over after how upset you were last time."

"Actually… no, you see it all happened during PFLAG… it started last year, but ohm… yeah," Kurt looked at Dave for a brief second and Carol pieced it together.

"Hold the metaphorical phone," said Carol, putting down her fork, with a slight glare.

"Kurt you're going out with… with him," said Carol, her voice calm but with an undeniable angry undertone.

"Mom, you said your all for forgiveness…." Said Finn, trying his best to help, she pointed at him and he sat down.

"No. Absolutely not!" said Carol looking directly at Kurt and Dave, "Forgiveness, yes. But this… no, I will not have you come home upset again because of him!"

"Please just hear us out," said Kurt quickly.

"I won't ever hurt Kurt again I swear. I was being stupid, irrational, and immature with my own personal problems," said Dave while Carol was silent for a few seconds, "He's helped me work through my demons. I was jealous of him, and I acted like an idiot."tra

"You were jealous?" asked Kurt, blinking at Dave.

"Yeah, at the time. I told you how I felt your life was pretty much perfect," said Dave, Carol was about to interject but they were talking now like her and Finn had vanished.

"Yeah, you said that… but you know it wasn't easy for me…" said Kurt.

"That's because I was a fucking ass hat, but you had everything I wanted. Confidence. Actual friends. A family who didn't give a shit if you were gay, straight, bi, or trans… they just fucking loved you for you… I was extremely jealous," said Dave with a half grin.

"But.. you don't feel like that now do you?" asked Kurt, grabbing Dave's hand.

"Not so much anymore… It's hard to be jealous when I get to be with you all the time," smiled Dave, they looked at each other for a few seconds before Carol and Finn came back to mind.

"Aw…" said Finn, Carol raised an eyebrow, "What? I support my brother."

"As lovely as that was, it just doesn't seem like a wise idea… what if something gets you upset or…" said Carol trailing off.

"First I would never hit Kurt, ever. I couldn't…. I may have pushed him around and messed with him in the past, but I could never hit him. As for my anger, I'm in therapy," said Dave, trying to find any type of acceptance in her eyes.

"…." She looked at them and took another bite of Cobbler, "Fine…"

"Do you like… lay on a couch and talk?" asked Finn, they glanced at him as he took a bit of the Cobbler; Carol pulled it away from him and returned to eating it.

"No.." said Dave, beaming.

"Anyway… so that's three," beamed Kurt, resting his head on Dave's shoulders.

"You know you could save time if you just made out at the beach party this weekend… or you know… had Puck tell everyone in about when he walked….OW!" Kurt kicked Finn under the table.

"Beach party? What beach party…. And walked in on what?" asked Carol her eyes narrowed, she gasped, "Kurt are you… are you two having sex?"

"Please don't say it like that… yes… were intimate," said Kurt, Dave had decided that the cobbler container was far more interesting.

"Oh my god… oh my… are you two being safe?" asked Carol, eyes wide, "Did you read those pamphlets your dad got you… please tell me you're using plenty of lube…"

"Oh god… it's crossed the lines… oh god… we need to go now!" said Kurt standing up quickly.

"Wow...wait pamphlets?" asked Dave as Kurt yanked him up.

"Please tell me are you stretching before…"

"CAROL!" yelled Kurt, Dave looked ready to hyperventilate, and Finn… Finn was eating the cobbler.

"Stretching what?" asked Finn, grabbing the semi-melted ice cream.

"….." all three looked at him.

"What would he have to… oh…" said Finn who put his fork down and stared at the plate.

"Finn?" asked Kurt, Finn's hand went up to silence him.

"Sweetie, just forget you heard…." Carol was cut off by Finn shaking his head slowly.

"Dave…" said Finn quietly.

"Uh… yeah?" asked Dave, cocking his head to the side a little.

"Pie…." Said Finn, "I need pie… now."

"Oh…" Dave looked around and Finn glared at him, "Oh… oh yeah… I ohm… it's ohm in the car…."

"…." Finn blinked, Dave looked at Kurt, "I'll ohm… just go… go get it now."

"Finn… are you okay?" asked Kurt biting his lip, Finn looked confused.

"About what?" asked Finn.

"About what we just said sweetie…." Said Carol, petting Finn's shoulder.

"Oh you mean Kurt and Dave using lube for their ass'…. Yeah I'm fine, I'm not stupid… I just thought maybe the pie and cobbler would go good together," shrugged Finn, going back to eating his cobbler.

"…one day Finn… one day… I will figure out who dropped you when you were a baby," said Carol, petting Finn's hair.

"Oh… ohm… can you not tell dad till were ready?" asked Kurt with a sigh, "Dave's a little nervous."

"That's because Burt's going to kill him," chuckled Carol, going back to her cobbler, "Thanks for lunch honey… Finn! Eat your own piece."

"About that, can you…" Kurt was cut off.

"No… I am not aiding an abetting, I will reason with him if he gets the shot gun…."

"Mercedes wants to have an all-girls weekend and maybe I could persuade Finn to go with Mike to the fair in Middleton," said Kurt.

"What trip?" asked Finn, eyes wide.

"The one I'm paying for…." Said Kurt, he locked eyes with carol.

Kurt gone for the weekend. Finn gone for the weekend. Her and Burt. Alone. In the house. No Kids. She slowly smiled and put down her fork as Dave came racing in with pie and placed it in front of Finn, who didn't hesitate to dive in. Carol looked at the three of them and nodded to herself.

"So… this weekend while you're gone… I think I'll talk up Dave a little… you know with his cooking, help with PFLAG…. It only seems fair for this wonderful lunch you brought."

"Thanks… mom," said Kurt kissing her cheek, she smiled and was a little overwhelmed with emotion, but before she could respond, Kurt was dragging Dave and Finn out of the lunch room as her lunch was coming to an end.

"Oh yeah," she remembered and dialed Burt's work number, he answered, "Hey baby… guess what… the kids are going away this weekend… I know right…. You know what that means… yup… Halo Weekend!"
