I don't own Glee or Charmed!

"Just stay low, I'll cover you." Kurt did as he was told, and tried to move quickly, dodging behind things to keep from getting hit. He could hear the guns going off around him, and focused on his target. He had just about reached it when a projectile coming straight toward him stopped in mid air.

"Hey no fair, you said no powers!" Melinda popped up from behind a partial wall, and Kurt sidestepped the paintball that had been frozen in mid air. "And don't think we didn't figure out that you picked Kurt for you team knowing there was no way Wyatt was going to shoot at him." It had been six months since Wyatt had first asked him out, and they had agreed to be friends, and two months since the two of them had been dating for the past two months. Kurt had been apprehensive about starting a relationship in the beginning, but Wyatt had been so sweet and kind while they had hung out as friends, that eventually Kurt decided to give him a chance.

"No, we said you guys couldn't use your powers since Kurt didn't have any powers." Chris said as he popped up from behind an abandoned car. It had been his idea for the next generation of Halliwells to go play paintball, Wyatt inviting him to join them. It was Kat that had frozen the paintball, that had been about to hit him when he was about to grab the other teams flag.

He grinned when he felt the strong arm wrap around his waist. The entire family respected his wish not to be touched, Wyatt being the only one he was really comfortable with touching him. He couldn't put into words how much he appreciated Wyatt being willing to do nothing more than kissing, as that was all Kurt could handle at this time. "And now we all know to make sure Chris is more specific when we agree to his terms, now I don't know about the rest of you, but I am famished. How about we head to the restaurant and get some lunch.

"So how goes the benefit planning?" PJ asked once they had all given their orders to the waitress. The benefit was in a couple of months, but the tickets were selling like crazy. He had thought it was going to be something small the first few years, if not longer, believing that no one really knew about his little organization despite the fact that he had clinics opening up around the world. Instead, celebrities, athletes, politicians, musicians, you name it had been purchasing tickets to attend the event.

"It's going well actually, I'm surprised how many people are buying the tickets, and the things people are donating for the silent auction." Kurt informed the group. "I was also wondering if any of the rest of you were interested in attending." He saw the excitement spread across the group's faces, though he noticed the look of apprehension take up residence on Melinda's.

It was after he got home that night that he called Wyatt to get Melinda's number, before calling her and asking her to orb over to his home. "This is a really nice place." She said as she looked around the apartment, admiring the décor.

"Thanks," He smiled at her, "You didn't seem as excited as everyone else at the thought of going to the benefit." He didn't want her to feel like she had to go if she didn't want to just because he was dating her brother.

"You promise not to tell anyone?" Melinda looked at him nervously, and when he nodded she continued, "I just see what women wear to those things, and I am just not comfortable with the thought of wearing any of that. I mean, I'm just not comfortable in tight, low cut clothing." He smiled reassuringly at her.

"You know you are beautiful right?" He asked the girl, and she blushed and looked away, "What if we can design something that you would be comfortable wearing?" When she shot him a confused look, and he motioned for her to follow him. "I have trouble sleeping sometimes, and found I enjoy drawing." He showed her drawings of her entire family dressed in different outfits.

"These are really good." She said as she looked through the drawings of herself, stopping on a very specific one, "Do you think I could find something like this somewhere?" She handed him a picture of herself in a beautiful A-line dress. The skirt was shorter in the front, but still fell below the knees, while the back was almost floor length, the bodice was beaded lace in a pattern that looked like it was trickling down just past the hips with three quarter length sleeves made of just the lace. The majority of the dress was a dark green, while the lace was almost navy.

"I think I can do you one better, come over this weekend and we'll go shopping." Kurt said with a smile, which was easily returned.

"Kurt, this is gorgeous, I feel like Cinderella!" Melinda spun in front of her mirror. Kurt had driven to their house to help her get ready for the benefit, and when he'd unveiled his creation she had about cried, it was absolutely gorgeous. She had been shocked the day she had gone to Kurt's apartment to find all of the fabric for the dress on his dinning room table, even more so when he informed her that he actually made a lot of his own clothes, not being comfortable shopping for clothes as he was too afraid to try them on in the dressing rooms. He had come up with the idea of trying to teach himself to sew, but realized he had somehow already known how.

They both spun when they heard a gasp from the doorway, and smiled at Piper standing there with tears in her eyes, "You look beautiful sweetheart." She then looked to Kurt, in her finely tailored suit "You both do." Piper had been just as accepting of him into her family as Paige had been, and it made him really nervous about his relationship with Wyatt, not knowing if he could handle losing the family if he and Wyatt broke up.

She and Chris's girlfriend Bianca walked into the room, both of them looking beautiful, and waited while he finished Melinda's hair. He enjoyed speaking with the three other women, more comfortable around women then men both days, but figured that had more to do with his past than anything else. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Leo tear up when his daughter walked down the stairs, and offer her his arm to escort her to the benefit.

He smiled at his own boyfriend when he saw him watching him, and made his way over to him, "You nervous for tonight?" Wyatt asked as the two of them made it out to the limo Kurt had rented for the group, there were limos waiting to pick up Paige and Phoebe's families at their homes as well.

"I am, though I have no idea why. It's not like anyone there is going to know me, or I have to give a speech or anything." The CEO of his foundation was the one acting like he was in charge of the even tonight, and therefore expected to make a speech tonight.

"It's understandable, this foundation is your baby, you've put your heart and soul into it, and you want it to be well received." Wyatt said, summed up exactly what he was feeling.

Burt Hummel always felt out of place at these things, but he also knew they were important if he wanted to stay in office. He had originally ran for Congress to get the story of his missing son out there to the world in the hopes of finding him, but then realized the good he could do from within the government. He had been over the moon when he'd gotten the call that his son had been found, catching the first flight to New York the moment the phone call came in.

However the Kurt who came home was not the one who left for New York, but he felt that was normal as Kurt had been through a lot in the time he was gone. He hired the best therapists money could find, researched the best rehabs when he realized Kurt had a drug problem, everything he could think of to help his son, even though it almost cost him his wife and step-son.

Carole had been understanding at first, then Kurt had started stealing from them, had pawned her wedding ring, both the one from him and the one from her first husband. The final straw came when Kurt almost killed Finn while driving under the influence, and she told him they would have to figure out a way to help Kurt that wasn't going to put any of the rest of them in any more danger. That was when Burt stumbled across a clinic that was founded by a human trafficking survivor that offered support groups for victims of human trafficking and sexual assault, as well as drug addicts, and pretty much everything you could think of. There were also licensed therapists on site that could help the people who came through the doors.

It was after starting to go there that Burt really saw an improvement in his son, being around people who had been through similar things was therapeutic. It seemed like Kurt was finally coming out of the worst of it, but he seemed even less like the Kurt who left for New York. Either way he was willing to be happy just having his son back.

"You look handsome." He turned at the sound of his wife's voice, and his breath caught in his throat at just how beautiful she looked.

"I still can't believe you talked me into flying out here for this thing." He smiled at her anyway, knowing she had been looking forward to this, "I also can't believe you were able to find a babysitter." Their daughter Kate had been born 7 months after Kurt's disappearance, Carole being a little over a month pregnant when it had happened, hadn't even known she was pregnant, in fact she thought she was just going through menopause. "That must be the babysitter." Burt said when he heard the knock on the door, neither of them willing to leave their daughter when they were in another state.

He opened the hotel door, and was shocked to see nonother than Noah "Puck" Puckerman standing in their doorway. "Is Kate ready for her sleepover?" He'd known the kid had joined the air force, but hadn't heard anything since that. "Quinn and the girls have been looking forward to having her since we set this up." The young man said with a smile, and Burt was rethinking this whole thing.

"Noah and Quinn are married now and have twin girls at home." Carole smiled at him, "Finn said they were what, a year old now?" He now remembered Finn mentioning that Puckerman's vasectomy had failed, and he'd knocked up the blond again, and this time she had agreed to marry him. He was now the proud father of a set of one year old twin girls that were the light of the boy's life.

"Yeah, and Quinn is actually about start an internship at the place hosting your benefit tonight." Puck said with a smile as he grabbed the little girl's over night bag. "She's thinking of becoming a therapist, and apparently the founder of clinic believes in helping people succeed, especially if they can help the victims that come through the clinic's doors."

"Alright sweetheart, you be good for Noah, and make sure you come home ready to tell Finn about everything you did with his best friend." Carole hugged and kissed the little girl, "Sorry Finn couldn't be here, he's the only person I know who could come to something like this and forget to pack his tuxedo shirt." Carole rolled her eyes. Kurt and Finn had run out to see if they could find on that would fit the larger man. "We are still on for lunch tomorrow though right? You'll see them then." She smiled when Puck nodded and she watched her husband kiss their six year old goodbye.
