A/N: sorry for the bit of the wait... again it's not the longest chapter so my apologizes. My plan was to upload this before St. Patrick's day was over but... ah screw it in BC it's only 10:55pm! So it's still St. Patrick's day ok? ;) Again I own nothing. All characters excluding Toronto belong to FOX.

Chapter 3

"I'm sorry, what?" Burt stared at Rory dumbfoundedly.

"Two weeks, after this photo was taken you died." Rory retold his grandfather as bluntly as he could.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Burt asked suddenly angry. Rory was a little taken back by the remark at first at stuttered trying to think of a response.

"I-I-I- um, W-W-What do–"

"Who the heel do you think you are?" Burt interrupted Rory repeating his question, but much louder this time. "You come into my home, where I live with my family and, you tell me this bull shit story of "your" life! What is up with that!"

"I-S-Sorry, sir." Rory managed to spit out barely audible.

"Sorry? Well sorry doesn't always cut it!" Rory wanted to apologize for apologizing out of pure fear of this man but when he looked up into Burt Hummel's eyes – his grandfather's eyes, he couldn't. Because, Burt didn't look mad, or angry, or upset. He just looked scared. Scared because this kid he doesn't even technically know, comes into his house and tells him all about the future and then tells him he dies. Rory reckons that if someone did that to him, he'd be pretty scared too.

"Leave."

"Pardon?" Rory asked suddenly being pulled back into what was actually going on.

"I think you should go. Go home. Or to the Pierce household I suppose. Just leave."

"Dad?" Kurt suddenly called coming down from the staircase, and into the living room. "Why are you yelling?"

"Nothing Kurt, go away." Burt said through grinned teeth.

"Yeah, "Nothing" okay. Now tell me why you're yelling. You know too much stress can cause pressure on your heart."

"Everyone stop talking about my heart!" Burt yelled as Blaine entered the room looking like a uncertain deer. "I'm fine! Nothing is going to happen to me! I'm going to live for a very long time and I'm not going to die of a second heart attack!" Not for another 20 or so years at least. Rory thought to himself.

"What was that?" Blaine turned around and looked at Rory. Shit. Did I seriously just say that out loud.

"Um..." Rory struggled to think of something to say.

"What are we what-ing and um-ing about?" Kurt turned around asking Blaine.

"Well during your dads little fit–"

"I was not having a fit!" Burt cut Blaine off.

"Okay cam down and let Blaine finish." Kurt told his father calmly.

"Like I was saying, during Burt's... outburst, I swore I could have heard Rory say 'Not for another 20 or so years at least.'" Blaine told his boyfriend. Rory was suddenly very aware of his presence as all eyes were on him.

"I-I better go." Rory told his feet as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, grabbed his wallet off the table and left. He could hear words being thrown at him but he just couldn't bother to listen. He had to leave and he had to leave now. So he did.

Rory doesn't know why he didn't just drive back to the Pierce's curl up in a ball and die. It's what he felt like doing, but for some reason he found himself at the crappy motel that Harmony, Sugar, and Cameron were currently resigning at.

"I can't do, anymore!" Rory yelled as the tears he had been holding back the whole drive there threatened to escape.

"Rory?" Harmony called from the kitchen as Cameron and Sugar looked up at him from the living area.

"I just can't!" rasped as a tear started to fall down his cheek.

"Aw, sweetie come here." Harmony ran over abandoning the food she was cooking to give Rory a hug. She sure had a hard shell, like her moms, but could be very compassionate, like her moms, when her friends needed her. "What's wrong? What happened?" Harmony asked him as she lead him into the living space to sit down on the couch.

"I want to go home! I d-d-don't wanna be stuck in 2012! I want to be able to hug my dads! I want my little brother to annoy the hell out of me! I just don't want to be here! I want to go home. I can't take this anymore! Obviously we're stuck here because we're all supposed to help our parents in some way! You three obviously have to get your parents! And clearly Sugar's already done that! So why is she still here! And what the fuc- What am I supposed to do! My dads are already t-t-together an-and I made sure nothing happened between Papa and Sebastian s-so why am I still here!" Rory explained to his friends, struggling to talk through his tears. Harmony looked sympathetic, Sugar looked like she was about to break, like she just couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and then there was Cameron. Rory doesn't know why but Cameron, for whatever reason looked angry. Rory whipped the tears and was about to ask Cameron what was up when the very boy suddenly burst.

"Yeah? Well at least your parents are together! At least you get to see them as a couple everyday! Some of us," Cameron looked over at Harmony, "don't have that luxury Rory!"

"I- I'm sorry Cam." Rory whispered.

"You're sorry? About what? Sorry that your parents are the perfect couple and that if anyone should be having a break down right now it should be me or Harmo? Well thanks for that! My dads aren't even thinking about being in a relationship, Rory! Do you know how hard it is to just sit there and listen to them talk about "getting it" with GIRLS?" Cameron yelled as he sat up from where he was sitting on the floor and got closer to Rory's face. Rory wasn't used to this Cameron. The Cameron he knew was kind, calm, and also dealt with things reasonably. Not like this. "Or what about Harmo? Her Mammina* is preparing to getting married to Finn! Your Uncle Finn! How do you think that makes her feel? Oh, and just to put the cherry on top, SHE DOESN'T EVEN GET TO SEE THEM EVERYDAY! We," Cameron gestured to himself, Rory and Sugar, "get to go to the same school as our parents, we get to see them every school day! SHE DOESN'T. I don't know Rory, you could have it a lot worse!" And with that Cameron stormed off to his room.

"No, Cam, come back! I'm sorry!" Rory shouted out to him from the couch.

"You don't have any fucking reason to apologize to him Rory," Sugar said bitterly from the couch. "he's over reacting. We all have it pretty damn bad if you ask me."

"Excuse me, Sugar." Harmony sneered at the other girl from her position on the couch. "Did you not hear a word Cameron just said?" She started to yell too, going into full bitch mode.

"Well excuse the fuck out of me for thinking we're all stuck in this crappy situation!" Sugar fired right back.

"Yeah well like Cam just said, you could have it a lot worse!" Harmony retaliated.

"Oh really Miss. Diva bitch? REALLY? Don't make me go all Lima Heights!"

"Drop the whole ghetto crazy act Sugar! We all know you're just a scared little girl! You know what? YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE. You, the machine should have let you go home! You got your moms together! You have no fucking reason to be here!"

"Well what the hell am I supposed to do about that? You think I don't know that? Because trust me I–"

"EVERYONE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Rory couldn't take the fighting anymore. He didn't like conflict. He was kind of like his Papa in the sense that he wished everything could be sunshine and rainbows and everyone could just get along. But Rory wasn't stupid. He knew life would never be like that but like Papa said, that wasn't a reason to stop trying. "AND CAM, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!"

"I DON'T THINK SO." Cameron hollered back from his room.

"REALLY? YOU DON'T THINK SO? BECAUSE SO HELP ME GOD I WILL SHOW YOUR FATHER'S THE PICTURES FROM SUGARS HOUSE PARTY LAST YEAR." Rory yelled back. It was silent for a moment, Rory grinned to himself when he heard the door open.

"You wouldn't."

"Hmm, I think I would. Now please Cameron, get out here and sit on the couch with Sugar and Harmo." Cameron mumbled back something that resembled an okay.

"Now, we're all stuck in this god awful situation together. I wish I knew what the universe wanted us to do. Trust me, I wish that more than anything but I don't. And neither do you three. That's no reason to yell and fight with each other! We're best friends! We should be helping each other! So you know what. That's what we're gonna do."

"Yeah? Well who died and made you queen?" Sugar sulked.

"No one." Rory smiled. "If you guys don't wanna help each other out then fine. But last time I check friends helped friends out. So are you guys with me, or are you with?" Rory smiled even wider at his friends. Despite the fact that they were all fighting only moments ago Rory loved the these three souls. They were his family. Family didn't let family down.

"I'm with you." Harmony smiled, standing up and taking Rory's hand.

"Me too man." Cameron stood up and smiled at the two of them.

"Fine!" Sugar sighed but spoke in a laughing tone, As she stood up and squished them into a group hug.

"Damn it Sugar, you're killing me here." Cameron joked although it did sound like he was having trouble collecting air.

"Oops." Sugar giggled and let them go. "So who's problem are we gonna start with first?" Rory opened his mouth to speak but Cameron jumped the gun.

"Well, okay sorry to interrupt Rory but, when I was in my room I couldn't help but over hear the girls argument. And Harmony was bitching about how Sugar shouldn't be here. The machine should have let her go home. And to be quite honest, the machine should have let you go home a long time ago Rory! To be even more honest, you don't even really have a reason to be here in the first place but you are so. Anyways! What if, the reason you two can't go home is because, well we all came here together right? All in one trip?" the other three kids nodded their heads in agreement "We all, have to leave together?"

"Cam! You're a genius!" Harmony exclaimed before tackle hugging him. "That makes so much sense!"

"It really does." Rory agreed and Sugar nodded along. "But like I was saying. Where to start. Well Sugar's down.

"Hey!" Sugar shouted. "Not fair."

"Yes it is, your moms are together."

"So are your dads!"

"Yes but we have another problem now."

"Damn it Ror!" Cameron laughed jokingly "What did you do this time?"

"I told Grandpa about the future." Rory mumbled.

"You're kidding right!" Harmony suddenly exclaimed eyes wide. "I told you not to that!" She growled angrily while smacking him on the arm.

"Ow!" Rory joked rubbing his arm. Harmony just rolled her eyes. "I was thinking we should start from easiest task to hardest. Of course, Cameron and Harmony have it pretty rough. So I think my situation might me a little easier to start with."

"And what exactly is your situation Mr. Hummel-Anderson?" Sugar questioned.

"Well like I said, Burt knows. I accidentally left my wallet. He saw the pictures and I cracked. Now he knows everything. And he's pretty angry about it."

"So what do we need to do then?" Harmony questioned. Rory groaned.

"I don't know! All I know is that we need to fix it!"

"If that's what we need to do," Cameron started and smiled at Rory. "Then that's what we'll do. Agreed?"

"Agreed." The other three said in unison as Harmony crushed her best friends into another hug.

A/N: *Mammina means mommy in Italian. I figured, Lea Michele's Italian therefore Rachel's Italian so...

Well, here we are, at the end of this chapter. And OH MY GOD I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO WITH THIS STORY NOW! YAY! I'M SO HAPPY :P

So yeah anyways next chapter will be Rory, Cameron, Harmony and Sugar fixing the whole Burt thing. Maybe some more klory interactions considering this chapter was lacking that. Chapter 4 should be (if I stick to my plan) the future babies helping Cam get Jeff and Nick, maybe not together but to at least realize they have feelings for each other, or maybe together, idk ;)

Then of course chapter 5 should be the future babies getting, maybe not faberry to happen but at least a finchel break up – amen. Then again, idk ;)
