10 Years On: Chapter 4

I know it's been nearly a week since i last updated but I've had revision to do, and then it was the Queens Diamond Jubilee weekend (it kinda still is) and i decided to take a break from revision and stuff to finish this chapter up so i can let you have something. I really hope you enjoy this, and i would just like to mention how tomorrow i'm going to the West End to see WICKED! I'm sooooo excited and want to thank Caitlin (if your reading this) for inviting me to go and i know that Pheebs (LFBART) is very jealous of me :P


Blaine woke suddenly, he had been dreaming of his parents coming to visit them, he couldn't remember what happened but the last bit he couldn't recall happening was Rosie crying and his father looking very angry. He sat up in bed, shook his head and looked at his watch. Great, in was 6 am on a Saturday. He would normally stay asleep till Rosie came and jumped on them telling them she wanted then to get up. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep again, so he looked over checking that his husband was still happily asleep, then he slipped out of bed and went down in to the kitchen to make a coffee.
Once he had his coffee he took it to the kitchen table and turned on his laptop. Since he was down here and no one would be awake for ages he decided to look for some birthday presents for Rosie and maybe book a birthday trip for next weekend, so if when his parents came it ended badly then they could get away for two days. His father had said they were probably coming for the Thursday and Friday, then leaving on the Saturday morning, and that would be when they would leave for Rosie's birthday trip. The trip would spread over Saturday and Sunday, so they could get back Sunday evening for Ro's birthday on the Monday. Him and Kurt still needed to plan a party for her but they would do that together and they could have it they weekend Mercedes was staying.
He logged on to his laptop and began searching for presents for his, nearly, four year old daughter. It was only 6:10 so he had plenty of time to search. He opened the web browser then leant back in the chair waiting for the web page to load. His coffee lay untouched on the kitchen table, as his eyes slowly slid closed.


Kurt awoke to light streaming through the curtains. He rolled over looking for his husband, only to find that the space next to him was empty. He checked the time, and saw it was 8:45, and he thought it was strange that Blaine would be up already because his husband had always been the one in the relationship to try and stay in bed until 10:30, if not later. Kurt got out of bed and stumbled down the stairs in his half-asleep state, to go find Blaine. He could hear a slow whirring coming from inside the kitchens and it sound like the working hard drive of a laptop. Kurt walked in to the kitchen, expecting to see his husband working on something, but the sight that greeted him just made him smile at the cuteness of it. Blaine was sitting at the kitchen table, with his laptop open at the browser page, with one of Rosie's teddies squished in his arms under his head, which was resting on the keyboard. He could hear Rosie playing in the TV room, it sounded like she was playing dress up with some of her teddies. Kurt snapped a photo of Blaine and went to quickly see if Rosie was alright and that she hadn't been up for too long.
'Hey there Ro, have you been up for long?' Kurt asked as he walked over to her, before picking her up and giving her a hug.
'Daddy! I woke up and went to your room and Papa was not there, so I came down here and,' she paused to take a deep breath before she continued, 'and Papa was sleeping in the kitchen on his own, so a gave him Benny to cuddle,' once she had finished she rested her head on Kurt's shoulder and put her arms around his neck.
(A/N Benny is the teddy Blaine is hugging, if you didn't work that out x )
Kurt let out a soft chuckle, then turned to look down at his beautiful daughter, 'Ro, do you want some breakfast now?'
Rosie gave a tiny yawn but nodded, so Kurt carried her in to the kitchen. He started to make some coffee, and he also cleared away the cold coffee that lay untouched on the table. He kept Rosie snuggled in his arms as he started to make breakfast and he began to hum along to a song he remembered singing at high school in his junior year, it had been at the Regionals show choir competition, when he was at Dalton Academy not at McKinley High. He could remember singing it on sage and 'practising' it at school for most the week before. It was in that week that Blaine had asked him out, and asked him to sing a duet with him for the competition. They had had a practise session at least every evening up until the competition, the most of the Warblers guessed that not all of those practises involved singing, but Wes, the head of the Warblers council, thought that they spent all of that time singing, well he did until he came to see how the song was going during one of their practises, only to walk in to Blaine's dorm to them making out. Wes had just stood in the doorway of a second, then he dropped his bag, with his gavel was in, which made a loud thud as it hit the ground causing Blaine and Kurt to jump apart and look towards the doorway. This earned Wes Kurt's well known and feared bitch glare and an extremely annoyed glare from Blaine. Wes had tried to tell them off for not actually practising the song like they should be when Kurt told him, with his extreme bitch glare, that they had never said what they were doing. At this Wes began to freak out as he realised that yesterday they had been 'practising' in the choir room, and when Wes warned then what he would do if they had been anywhere near the council table, both Kurt and Blaine went red, so Wes ran out shouting about finding disinfectant and not wanting to think about what might have happened at the place he sits everyday.
Kurt kept on humming along to Candles as he sat down placing a coffee in front of Blaine, and some breakfast in front of Rosie, who was sitting next to him.
Kurt and Rosie began to eat their breakfast together and two minutes after the had started, Blaine's eyelids began to flutter open and his nose crinkled a he smelt the coffee in front of him. Blaine sat up and yawned, then realised that there was a teddy in his arms. Kurt began laughing, which made Rosie look up, 'Daddy, Papa's awake!' She hopped off her chair and skipped over to Blaine then threw her arms around him.
All Blaine could say in reply was, 'What?' He had a very confused expressing on his face as he tried to recall how he ended up asleep in the kitchen face down on his laptop, hugging one of his daughters toys. He remembered coming downstairs, making coffee, turning on his laptop, and he must have fallen asleep, but he couldn't work out how he ended up with a teddy in his arms.
Kurt continued to laugh, but got up and placed some breakfast in front of his husband, Blaine looked up at Kurt still wearing that confused expression.

'Oh Babe, Ro gave you Benny to cuddle, cause she saw you asleep on your own, and thought you looked lonely.' Blaine now understood how his daughters teddy ended up in his arms, but he knew Kurt would want to know why he was sleeping on his laptop at kitchen table, and why he had his laptop out. 'But Babe?' Kurt continued, 'Why on earth were you asleep on your laptop? And I know you must have been there a while, cause it takes more than 10 minutes for a coffee to get as cold as your first one was.'

Blaine sighed and knew that he would have to admit, to how scared at what his father might do when his parents came next week, 'Ro, why don't you go play in the TV room for a bit? Then maybe later we can make a cake or something, to have for tea tonight' as soon as Blaine put in the option of making cake later she was skipping towards the TV room. She loved any opportunity to make cake with her parents, as Kurt would always make sure it tasted delicious, and Blaine always lets her lick out the cake mixture out of the bowl, and then let her make the icing bright pink, her favourite colour and also Blaine's. (pink had been Blaine's favourite colour since Kurt made him a cake in the shape, and colour, of his well known pink sunglasses for his 21st birthday)

Before Blaine could begin his explanation Kurt got there first, 'Has it got something to do with your parents coming next week?' Blaine sighed and nodded, and Kurt made his way over to pull Blaine into a tight embrace, 'Tell me?' Kurt pleaded not wanting to push it, if it would upset Blaine.

Blaine began to recall what he could remember of the dream, and he was sure he could only remember all the bad bits, '...so then I came down here after I woke up cause I didn't think I could sleep any more, and I was going to look for some presents for Rosie, and I was going to book her a birthday trip to Disney Land for the Saturday and Sunday after my parents came, but I must have fallen asleep...'

'Look Blaine, nothing bad will happen, I won't let it happen, you're pretty much famous, with millions of fans and if he does anything it will reflect badly on him, and you know he doesn't want any body to think they can push him around. He has his reputation as that big shot lawyer he is, hardly anyone knows that your his son, and anyway you know my dad will flip if anything happens the Rosie, or any of us, and as he was a Congressman, and is still friendly with people in DC has it advantages for him, and us if we needed it. So Rosie will be fine, we will be fine,' as Kurt said all this he was trying to convince himself just as much as he was trying to convince Blaine, but luckily it was working.


I know that not much happened in this one, but you got some info about their past. I really don't know when i will next update cause i'm really busy this week with revision and seeing friends, then next week on Thursday my exams start and that weekend i have my parents party, but my exams finish on the Wednesday of that week so hopefully the longest you will have to wait is 2 weeks, but i will try to post a chapter before that if i have time. The next chapter will probably be set the day Mr. and Mrs. Anderson arrive (if you have any ideas for their names please tell me because i'm not sure what they should be).

Oh and btw even though i'd love for the whole story to keep them in perfect life, i've decide a little drama is needed to keep it interesting so if you have any ideas of what i might make happen PM me (not you LFBART cause you were talking with me about what it could be) because i want to see if anyone can guess what could be coming.

Thanks for reading
