"Joshua Albert Karofsky" Blaine said sternly as he and Jeff walked into the interrogation room.

Joshua sat in his chair and watched as the two officers sat down in front of him. He did not respond and he did not move.

"I am Agent Anderson and this is Agent Sterling" Blaine introduced. "We have a couple of questions to ask of you."

Joshua stared at the ground refusing to pay the pair any attention.

"Do you know why you are here?" Jeff questioned.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders.

"Well we do, don't we, Sterling?" Blaine said smugly.

"Absolutely" Jeff replied with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Do you know who this man is?" Blaine questioned, sliding a photo across the table to Joshua.

Joshua looked down at the photograph. He looked up at Blaine and Jeff and shrugged again. Blaine was starting to lose his patience.

"His name is Kurt Hummel" Blaine answered for him. "A famous fashion designer"

"Who also happens to be missing" Jeff added.

"Would you know anything about it?" Blaine asked.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders. "Why would I know anything about a pompous gay-face queen like him?"

Blaine started chuckling at Joshua's response. He looked at Jeff as he chuckled and Jeff started joining him. Blaine stood up from his seat, still chuckling, and slowly walked over to Joshua. Within a split second Blaine had ceased chuckling, grabbed the back of Joshua's neck and slammed his head against the table. Joshua groaned in pain when his head was brought back up by Blaine.

"See, I did not like that tone" Blaine hissed into Joshua's ear as he still held his neck. "You are Joshua Karofsky, older brother to one, David Karofsky. Your brother and Kurt went to McKinley High back in Ohio. David used to bully Kurt until they became friends."

"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way, Mr Karofsky" Jeff explained not moving from his spot. "If you co-operate with us, we can cut you a deal from life in prison on the account of kidnapping to say about 10 years imprisonment with two years parole. If you do not, then I guess Agent Anderson and I can play good cop, bad cop, and I can say with all certainty is that I will play good cop. You see Agent Anderson here knows both your brother and Kurt quite well, so he is very confident that you are lying."

Joshua stared angrily at Jeff who just smirked in response.

"Now, let's try this again" Jeff continued. "Do you happen to know Kurt Hummel?"

Joshua remained silent after Jeff asked the question.

"The stupid queer turned my brother into a queer back in high school" Joshua hissed. "If he has been kidnapped, then he deserves everything that's coming to him."

Blaine nodded sarcastically and looked at Jeff who subtly nodded his head in reply. Blaine slammed Joshua's head back on the table and leant over to hiss in his ear.

"You best be aware of the fact that you attitude will not help your case if you want to be able to have a family in your lifetime" Blaine hissed. "You should also know that I am, to use your words, a queer, too."

"Great" Joshua replied sarcastically. "My older brother mentioned that Kurt had more than one gay friend in high school, now you are all spreading like wild fire."

"Oh, so you do know Kurt and myself more than you let on" Blaine replied faking cheerfulness. "Well, I should let you on a little secret. My team and I are quite close with this case and I can hurt you more than I am doing right now."

"Hence why he is the bad cop, Joshua" Jeff concluded with a smug look.

"So what if I know the lady-face queer. What does that have to do with me and his kidnapping?" Joshua questioned back.

Blaine released his hold of Joshua's neck and sat on the table facing him.

"My team and I visited Kurt's design studio when the case was first brought to our attention" Blaine explained. "We found a security tape at the crime scene showing him being kidnapped."

Jeff stood up from his seat and walked over to the small television that hung in the corner of the room. He put a small video tape into the machine and an image appeared. Joshua watched the television as a dark masked figure stormed into Kurt's design studio and attacked him.

"And stop there, Sterling" Blaine ordered.

Jeff paused the footage to where the kidnapper's hand was visible over Kurt's mouth.

"We analysed this tape, Joshua" Blaine continued. "And if you zoom in on the hand over Kurt's mouth..."

Jeff zoomed the image so that the hand was in clear focus.

"You see a ring on the hand. Not just any old ring, but a ring with a family crest on it, the Karofsky crest to be exact" Blaine added.

Joshua kept silent again and shrugged his shoulders.

"We then flew to Ohio to meet with your brother, David" Jeff continued for Blaine, walking back to his seat. "Questioned him on the ring, and I dare say he told us some very interesting information."

"I agree" Blaine replied.

"The Karofsky ring is passed on from father to son to grandson, but is only given to the eldest son of the family" Jeff added.

"Which I can see now resides on your left hand" Blaine said noting the ring on Joshua's hand.

Joshua quickly removed his hands from the table and placed them underneath, sitting on his lap. Blaine smirked at Joshua's movement and grabbed his hand and pulled it back on the table.

"A perfect match to the one on the video, wouldn't you say so, Agent Sterling?" Blaine mocked.

"I dare say so, Agent Anderson" Jeff replied.

Joshua retracted his hand from Blaine's grip and stared at the two boys.

"Now, back to our original question" Blaine said. "Would you know anything about Hummel's disappearance?"

Joshua stared down at the table.

"We have fool-proof evidence that it was you who kidnapped Kurt Hummel, Mr Karofsky" Jeff reminded. "You can either sit there and co-operate with us, and decrease your jail time to when you can see the light of day, or you can allow us to put you in cells while we search through your apartment and your work office looking for evidence. It is your choice."

The silence in the interrogation room was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. No one moved, and no one spoke. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of New York echoing into the room.

"I had been watching Hummel's company for a few weeks prior to that night" Joshua began explaining, looking down at the table. "I was checking to see his consistent routine or being left alone after 11pm at night when his Asian assistant left and locked everything up, except for Hummel's design studio."

"He always worked late" Blaine muttered to himself.

"When I was positive that I knew his routine, I was told to make my move. So I watched as the assistant typed the security code in out the very front, locking Hummel inside. I repeated the code, made it inside the company and broke into Hummel's design studio to find him at his desk sketching."

"And that's when you attacked him" Blaine concluded.

Joshua chuckled darkly. "The girl did not put up much of a fight."

"Considering you forced him to breathe in chloroform and make him pass out" Blaine growled in response.

"You mentioned that you were given the word to go in" Jeff interrupted. "What do you mean?"

Joshua started laughing normally.

"You dimwits actually believe that I kidnapped the fag and have him locked up somewhere?" Joshua questioned smugly.

Blaine and Jeff looked surprised at Joshua.

"I thought you were supposed to be FBI agents, the best of the best. Man, you boys are in for a dangerous game that you certainly do not how to play."

Blaine growled at Joshua's mocking. He shot right up from the table, pulled Joshua out of the seat and slammed him into a nearby wall. Joshua's back slammed against the brick and he hissed in pain. Blaine pinned Joshua to the wall with his right arm pinning his neck while his left arm pinned Joshua's arm.

"Do NOT mock us, Karofsky" Blaine threatened darkly, staring into Joshua's eyes.

"Blaine" Jeff called.

Joshua started chuckling again. "Oh, you are more than who you say you are, aren't you Agent Anderson? You are more than quite close to this case. You are the love of Hummel's life. You are the ex-boyfriend who abandoned him when things got, should we say, personal."

"How do you know about that?" Blaine hissed pressing harder against Joshua.

"I am the brawns of this operation, gentlemen" Joshua explained coolly. "This plot has been planned for longer than any of you have been wearing that badge. There is another, he is the brains behind this whole thing, and he knows more about you and Kurt then you could possibly know yourself. He told me when and where to kidnap Kurt and I delivered. That was the part that I played and that is all that is written."

"Tell me who your partner is" Blaine demanded.

"Why is the sky blue?"

"Answer me!"

"I cannot give an answer if there is no answer to give" Joshua explained.

"Do not give us riddles" Blaine said. "Who is your partner and where did he take Kurt?"

"Right is left and left is right" Joshua replied mocking them.

"Joshua" Jeff threatened.

"I do not know the real name of the partner. He never gave me a name" Joshua explained once he had his fun.

"So you just worked with a complete stranger?" Jeff questioned not believing a word.

"Not a total stranger" Joshua replied. "He used an alias. He was looking to hire a muscle for a secret operation. Good money too. I applied because no where would hire me, and I then discovered his plan to rid the world of the man who turned my brother gay and destroyed the family, so I thought kill two birds with one stone."

"You son of a bitch" Blaine hissed.

"No, actually, that would be you, Agent Anderson" Joshua retorted. "From what I hear, your parents were not very supportive of wasting your Dalton education on being a police officer and before that, a singer."

Blaine was about to punch Joshua in the face when Jeff grabbed his hand and pulled him off Joshua.

Joshua stepped forward from the wall and smoothed out his clothes.

"Like I said, you two are playing a more dangerous game than you realise."

"Tell us, where is Kurt?" Jeff demanded.

"I do not know" Joshua answered truthfully. "My partner met with me when I told him I had Kurt."

"You are wasting our time" Blaine said beginning to storm out of the room.

"Wait" Joshua called. "If you two keep your word about decreasing my jail time, then I will let you on some important information."

Blaine turned around and looked at the older Karofsky.

"He keeps in touch about the status of Kurt" Joshua explained.

"Why?" Jeff asked confused.

"I listen to how Kurt's spirit is dwindling into nothing, so I can listen to the change in him just how I saw the change in David when he changed him in high school."

"You are one sick minded freak" Jeff replied.

"No, it is practically a spirit for a spirit. He also calls me to make sure that the police are not on his case."

"So what?" Blaine asked getting annoyed again.

"He is calling me this afternoon" Joshua explained. "You want to know where to find Kurt? Then track my partner's phone call."

Blaine and Jeff stared at Karofsky thinking over the prospect. The two of them nodded and started packing away their things before heading out of the room.

"Oh, and Agent Anderson" Joshua called just as Blaine was closing the door. "I will tell you this, right may be left and left may be right that takes you in a circle, but backwards will always bring you forwards."


Blaine walked back to his desk with Jeff in pursuit. He sat in his seat with a sigh and closed his eyes.

"Man" Jeff said breaking the silence. "That is one messed up guy."

"He kept talking in riddles" Blaine sighed.

"Look at it this way" Wes said, looking up from his desk. "You just caught one of the criminals responsible for Kurt's kidnapping."

"But we still haven't found Kurt" Blaine replied sadly.

"Blaine Anderson!" a loud shriek echoed from the elevators.

All of the boys turned their heads to find Rachel Berry storming up to them in fit of rage as she carried Adeline on her hip with Sebastian Smythe following close behind.

"Oh dear" Nick said, hiding behind his desk.

Rachel passed Adeline off to Wes, stormed past all of the FBI agents in the office heading towards Blaine's desk. She stopped right in front of him.

"Rachel-"

SMACK

"What the hell was that?" Blaine yelled, placing a hand on his now red and stinging cheek.

"You jerk!" Rachel screamed, her face turning slightly red. "Why are you, of all people, taking Kurt's case?"

Blaine's anger ceased hearing Rachel's words.

"So Finn told you" Blaine sighed.

"Oh no" Rachel replied sarcastically. "It was not my husband, Kurt's step-brother; it was your stupid meerkat-faced team member."

Blaine, Wes, Jeff and Nick whipped their heads around to face Sebastian who was sitting on the edge of his desk. He flashed them a child-like smile showing that he made a mistake but wanted not to be yelled at.

"What the hell kind of game are you playing at, Blaine?" Rachel demanded.

Adeline sat on Wes' hip as they watched the scene unfold. Adeline felt a little nervous seeing her aunt so angry without a reason.

"What game?" Blaine questioned.

"You do not deserve to be in his life anymore, so why are you here?"

"Excuse me?" Blaine said, standing up from his seat and eyeing Rachel.

"You left him!" Rachel shrieked, tears forming in her eyes. "You left him without even a word! How could you do that to him? Is this some sort of game to you?"

Adeline tensed up in Wes' arms hearing Rachel's words. Wes noticed Adeline tense up and looked at her. He saw her eyes widen at Rachel and Blaine and he gasped to himself. A thought flashed through Wes' brain remembering the first time he had met Adeline. The girl used to find Kurt upset at night and she overheard Santana mention about it starting after he was abandoned.

"What?"

As Wes and the others were watching Blaine and Rachel argue, none of them realised that the director had once again heard a commotion within Blaine's unit and had walked into the office. He stood off to the side and watched the pair argue.

"Um...Rachel" Wes tried to interrupt noticing Adeline's behaviour.

" 'Hmm...things with Kurt sure are boring'" Rachel mocked pretending to sound like Blaine. " 'Why don't I have some fun and leave for a few years and show up just when he needs me. Play on his heart strings, that will do the trick.'"

"I have never and will never play Kurt like that" Blaine hissed angrily.

"Rachel" Wes said louder.

"So why are you here?"

"You want to know?"

"Rachel!" Wes almost yelled.

"Yes!" Rachel replied, ignoring Wes.

"I did not even know that we were finding Kurt!" Blaine yelled back.

For the first time in her entire life, Rachel Berry had shut her mouth. Wes stopped trying to get Rachel's attention and stared at him.

"I left the police department after I left Kurt" Blaine explained. "I joined the FBI and was given this case by the director, unbeknownst that Kurt was the victim. No one here knew about my relationship with Kurt, except for my team, and even then they only knew that we weren't together anymore."

Rachel stared up at Blaine and looked him straight in the eye.

"You" a quiet voice interrupted the silence.

Everyone in the room turned around to find an upset Adeline on Wes' hip.

"You are t-the one w-who l-left my daddy?" Adeline questioned.

Blaine looked at Rachel and then back at Adeline.

"You are the reason w-why he c-cr-cries?" Adeline continued.

Blaine had absolutely no idea what to say to the little girl. He was just staring at her like he just broke something precious to him. Why did he feel so bad that he made the girl upset? Was it because she was Kurt's child?

"Um..." Blaine said completely speechless.

"No, sweetie" Rachel said running over to Wes. She took Adeline in her arms. "Mr Anderson used to be friends with your daddy in high school. He left your daddy when they graduated, that is the left that we are talking about."

"But you just said that he left" Adeline replied. "He left daddy which is why daddy got me."

Blaine's heart broke at the girl's comment. He had left Kurt so broken that he had to adopt a child just to fill the void.

"No" Rachel said firmly. "Your daddy did not decide to have a family just because he was lonely."

"But I overheard Aunt Santana when I was little" Adeline said. "She said that daddy was upset that he was left behind. He was sad and lonely when I came along and he is still sad and lonely."

"Adeline" Rachel said sternly. "You were not brought into this world because your dad needed someone to keep him company."

Blaine felt his migraine returning again. He cringed mentally at the pain. Why did they only occur when Adeline was around or someone mentioned her name? More importantly, when he himself mentioned her name.

"But that is what Aunt Santana said" Adeline replied. "Daddy came home to an empty apartment. He always sings songs when he thinks that I am not listening so that he stops crying. Every night he sings me 'Somewhere only we know' so that I do not have bad dreams. He cries all the time over a picture of blue blazers."

The Warblers' ears pricked up at the girl's words. Blaine's migraine increased and the noise around him became muffled.


"Blaine" Kurt chuckled as he was being carried over Blaine's shoulder as he ran around the living room. "Put me down."

"Why should I?" Blaine challenged.

"It's our anniversary and I do not want to spend it over your shoulder like I was some damsel in distress"

Blaine laughed before he chucked Kurt down on the living room couch. He sat down next to Kurt and flashed him a smile.

"Happy anniversary, Kurt" Blaine said pulling out a single red rose from underneath the couch.

"It's beautiful" Kurt gushed, taking the rose from Blaine's hand.

"I could say something so cheesy right now" Blaine joked.

"Then don't spoil it" Kurt said, pressing a kiss on Blaine's cheek.

Kurt snuggled up against Blaine and admired the rose.

"Kurt" Blaine said breaking the silence.

"Yeah?" Kurt answered.

"How long have we been together?"

Kurt chuckled. "Including high school?"

Blaine rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "It is to prove a point. We have been together for a long time now."

"And..." Kurt pressed on.

"This apartment is awfully quiet for just the two of us" Blaine continued.

"Are you hinting that we should start a family, Mr Anderson?"

"That is exactly what I am saying, Mr Hummel" Blaine said with a smile.

"You want to a little Anderson-Hummel running around? But won't we have to get married for that?"

" I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to find a child in need of a loving home, I want to marry you, and raise that child with you. I want a family with you. I want everything with you, Kurt."

"Yes!" Kurt screamed throwing himself on Blaine. "I want a little girl with your manners and spirit, and my sense of style, who can sing!"


Blaine placed a hand on one of the desks to help him keep balance. The voices around him became clearer now and he looked around the room.

"I try to sing to him to cheer him up like he does with me, but it makes it worse" Adeline continued. "Daddy always says that my voice is pure like someone he used to know."

"Honey" Rachel tried to soothe. "You got your voice from your daddy. You have heard him sing."

"But why can't I sing to him? He sings all these songs to me to cheer him up but it makes him sad when I sing them back."

"Um...what songs?" Wes questioned getting slightly suspicious and noticing Blaine's stance by the desk.

Rachel looked down at the girl in her arms completely stunned. She looked at the warblers and knew that she was in dangerous territory.

"Somewhere only we know" Adeline began listing. "Blackbird...Teenage Dream..."

"Songs that Blaine used to sing" Wes concluded.

Rachel looked up at the boys and started to look a little rattled.

Blaine felt another hit from his migraine again.


"Blaine" Kurt called as Blaine entered the apartment.

"Hey" Blaine greeted, sitting next to Kurt on the couch. "What are you doing?"

"Going through adoption agencies" Kurt replied.

"So you are still against surrogacy?"

"I love Rachel, I do, but it would be awkward having my sister-in-law as our child's birth mother. Plus she is currently seeking help in getting pregnant with Finn right now. I do not want our child to have Santana's mood swings, and I love Brittany too, but, she might get attached and we could lose a child. Also, if we can't have a child that is 100% completely ours, then I do not want a surrogate pregnancy. This way we can find a child out there in the world who is looking for a home and we can give it all the love that it deserves."

"I love you" Blaine said admiringly.

"I love you too"


"I know that daddy loves me because he lost someone else a long time ago. Stop lying, Aunt Rachel. Is it true? Am I just a fill in?"

"No" Blaine said firmly. He walked over to the girl in Rachel's arms. "Your daddy loves you more than anything else in this world. I used to be friends with him in high school and he would not stop mentioning how much he wanted a family, to have the most beautiful girl in the world. Never once did he mention about having a life partner. All he ever wanted was a little girl, just like you, and his dream came true."

Adeline looked at Blaine and gave a small nod. Rachel looked at Blaine and gave him a small smile of gratitude.

"But, Mr Anderson" Adeline said softly. "Are you the reason why my dad cries every night? Did you really leave him? Are you the reason why I have bad dreams that I will be left alone like him?"

Blaine was completely thrown by the question.

"I-I..." Blaine stuttered. "Let me ask you this"

Adeline looked at Blaine and waited for his question.

"Your whole life your daddy has been crying, is that right?"

Adeline nodded in reply.

"And you feel like it is your fault because you could not cheer him up?"

Adeline nodded again. Blaine looked at Rachel silently asking to hold Adeline. Rachel sighed quietly and passed Adeline to Blaine.

"You are now way a fill in, my dear" Blaine said looking at the little girl. "Like I said before, you dad has been planning on having you in his life whether he had a partner or not. That was not going to stop him. His crying is no way your fault."

"How do you know?"

Blaine looked around the room at everyone. Rachel looked at Blaine and gave him a small nod.

"Because Adeline, I am the cause to your father's crying" Blaine answered remorsefully.

"I was right?"

"I'm afraid so" Blaine answered.

"You are the one in the photo of the blue blazers? The one he cries over?"

"I guess I am."

"Why did you leave my daddy?"

"Excellent question, my smart niece" Rachel said, taking Adeline from Blaine.

Blaine looked around the room and saw everyone wanting to know the same thing.

"Um...I-I...I can't tell you" Blaine said sadly, looking down at the floor.

Rachel scoffed at Blaine.

"I can't believe you, Blaine" Rachel said disgusted. "Here I thought you could be a decent human being and you just proved me wrong. You should not wear that badge. You abandoned Kurt right when he needed you most, and you went running scared."

"I did not run scared!" Blaine yelled. "There was nothing to run from!"

"Except commitment" Rachel retorted.

"The only thing I committed to was Kurt. I know that went up in smoke but there is another story that you do not know."

"We know more than you think, Blaine. It's a shame that after speaking to Adeline, you can't figure out what you really abandoned."


"This is Blaine Anderson" Blaine greeted the caller at his desk.

"Blaine, sweetie, it's me" Kurt said happily.

"To what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?"

"I just heard back from the adoption agency!"

"And?"

"There is a girl who read over our adoption information and wants to meet with us!"

"Are you serious?"

"Completely!"

"That's incredible! We're getting a child!"

"Not yet" Kurt said. "The interview is to see if we are really who we say we are and if we pass the interview and she likes us, then she may decide to pick us!"

"That's amazing!"

"And she's from Ohio! She is flying up to New York to see family and she was excited to see that we live in New York too, so she's meeting up with us tomorrow at 2pm."

"I can't believe we are one step closer to having a child"


Blaine stared at Rachel in amazement. The interview with the mother was years ago and him and Kurt never heard from her about whether they were chosen or not.

"You made my daddy sad, now you made me sad" Adeline said sadly.

"I hope you are happy, Blaine. I thought you would not screw this up. Maybe I was just too racked up on hormones to realise that" Rachel hissed. "I do not want you anywhere near Adeline, you understand? If she comes to the station, you better not be there. Actually, I do not want you on Kurt's case, at all!"

"What is it with you and Kurt's family with not wanting me to find and save Kurt?" Blaine asked annoyed.

"Besides the fact that you abandoned him and now upset his daughter?"

"Agent Anderson"

Everyone in the room turned around to find Director John standing on the far side of the room. Blaine swallowed knowing full well that John had seen the entire display. He was so doomed.

"My office, now!"

Blaine did not need to be told twice. He walked away from Rachel and Adeline and walked into the director's office.

"You are meant to be team leader, Blaine" John said angrily.

"I know, sir"

"Really because I do not think you do!" John yelled back. "You just stood out there arguing with another one of the victim's family! And even worse, you upset the victim's child! Every time someone comes in here, you get caught up in an argument. You are wasting valuable time here, Anderson. What the hell is wrong with you? You promised me that your personal life was not going to affect the Hummel case."

"It's not, sir"

"It is since you are picking fights with the family instead of being out in the field. Mr Hummel has been missing for 12 days now, which is almost two weeks. He could be dead by now and all you have done is gone to the crime scene and have just discovered his kidnapper. What about the victim himself? You have not found him yet!"

"But we will!"

"You won't be" John retorted.

"What?"

"You are off the Hummel case effective immediately."

"But you can't do that"

"I can and I will. Doctors are not allowed to operate on family or friends. Teachers are not allowed to teach their children or other family. Now, you will not be solving the case of your ex-boyfriend."

"But sir-"

"This is not up for debate" John interrupted. "You will hand over your badge and take a vacation. I do not want you here while the investigation is going on. I cannot give the family any more grief while Kurt is still missing."

Blaine sighed in defeat and handed John his badge.

"Take this vacation time as a way to relieve all of this stress and unresolved issues from your past. I do not want you anywhere near here until this is settled. I will have Agent Montgomery taking your place. Now, go and enjoy some much needed rest."

Blaine stormed out of the director's office and noticed that Rachel and Adeline were still there along with his team mates. He walked up to Rachel and looked directly in her eyes.

"I hope you're happy" Blaine said angrily.

He turned towards Wes. "Congratulations, leader."

Everyone's eyes widened as Blaine stormed out of the office and entered the elevator.


Kurt...Kurt...

Kurt opened his eyes to see that he had been tied down to a chair. His hands were bound behind his back and his legs were bound to the legs of the chair. He looked up and noticed Arrow leaning over him smirking wickedly. He held a phone in his hand.

"My partner is on the phone" Arrow taunted. "Apparently the FBI went and visited his little brother asking questions about you."

Kurt's heart almost leapt out of his chest. A small ray of hope. There were people out there looking for him. Hopefully they could save him before his time runs out. A sudden flash of pain passed over Kurt's face and he screamed. Arrow and hit him across the face with the side of gun. His face paled suddenly noticing Arrow's firearm in hand.

"Why is the FBI on the case?" Arrow hissed at Kurt. "I thought it was the dim-witted police! Now we have to worry about the FBI."

Arrow grabbed the back of Kurt's head and pulled. Kurt refused to let out a cringe or anything. He would not give Arrow the satisfaction.

"My father is a congressman" Kurt replied.

"Of course" Arrow said, releasing Kurt's head. "Well, my partner is trying to lie to his brother about the visit but he needs to know that you are still here so that his lying will not be for granted.

Arrow pressed a button and the phone was now on speaker phone.

"Go on" Arrow said. "Talk to him. He is waiting for you. Tell him you are here. Tell him that you are missing the man who abandoned you. Call out for him. Call out for the straight man that you are pathetically waiting for."


Blaine slammed the door as he entered his apartment. He could not believe that the director had just basically forced him into taking a vacation right when Kurt was still missing and kept god knows where with god knows who. Blaine was still a little shaken up about the memories that he had buried all those years ago. He had forced himself to completely forget about Kurt and him wanting to start a family. Blaine felt light headed again so he sat down on the couch and stared up at the ceiling.


"So you are a fashion designer and you are a police for the New York police department?" Bethany, the birth mother, questioned as the three of them sat in a lounge area in the adoption agency.

"That's right" Kurt answered. "I own my own clothing label known as Pavarotti Designs."

"Really? That's you?" Bethany said excitedly.

"Yeah" Kurt replied.

"I love your outfits! I have a few of your designs. I particularly love that summer dress that you design in your last collection. The show stopper one."

"The strapless floral print?"

"Yes" Bethany said excited. "It's my favourite piece."

"That's incredible" Kurt gushed.

"I can't believe I am meeting Pavarotti's Kurt Hummel" Bethany smiled. "You two are such an amazing couple."

"Thank you" Blaine replied happily.

"I just have another question" Bethany said. "You both have such serious jobs. Would you both be able to take care of both the baby and your careers?"

"Well because of my company" Kurt began explaining. "I have the advantage of working from home while Blaine is at work. I stay and work from home during the day and then Blaine takes care of the baby at night when I need to head to the company."

"You two are so amazing. I can see that you will love this baby more than anything else in the world. And they would be in such good hands with a police officer and have fun with having their own clothes from a fashion designer."

"We promise you, Bethany" Blaine said. "There would be no one who would love your child as much as us. Since we are both gay, we know what it feels like to have someone give up on you and we will not be one of those parents who doesn't let the child be who they are. The public rejection has made us grow as a couple and have made us strong."

Kurt smiled at Blaine and placed a kiss on his cheek. He looked at Bethany and smiled at her. His phone suddenly started ringing and he looked down.

"Oh, that's my brother" Kurt said. He looked up at Bethany. "He and his wife are visiting a fertility clinic today to try and get pregnant. They want me to be the god father if this all works out."

"That is so incredible. Your family must be close" Bethany said.

"We are" Kurt replied. "Excuse me" he said and walked out of the room to take the call.

"It seems like not only you and Kurt will love this child, but he will be surrounded by so much love from your families" Bethany commented.

"You have no idea" Blaine replied. "Look Bethany, I know we are not the conventional couple that most people would like, since we are gay, but this baby will be surrounded by so much love that it would never have to worry about being alone."

"I know" Bethany said with a smile. "But I do worry about the baby being alone. I came from a divorced family and I remember hating having to go from one house to another and I do not want my child to have to go through that."

"That is perfectly understandable" Blaine said. "But you should know that Kurt and I are not the average couple. We have been together since we were in high school. Kurt lived in New York for a year without me and it felt like we were never apart when I moved here. We have been through more obstacles than you could imagine: bullies, heart attacks, car accidents, long distance relationships, different schools, and even other people trying to take each other away. Kurt is an amazing person. He is loving, devoted, caring and so strong. Don't tell him I said this but he is always right...even when I thought I was straight for a moment he was right about me being gay."

Bethany laughed at Blaine.

"I love him more than anything in this world. He has overcome so much in his life but he has never let it stop him from being himself. He always dreamed of starting a family but it kills me that because of who we are, I can't give him a baby. I've wanted a kid since I was in high school, to give a child the protection from all the prejudice and evil in the world that Kurt and I were not prepared for. And when that day finally comes, I'll learn how to be a good parent. But Kurt...he took care of his father when he was a kid when his mother died...he's already there. Kurt's a father."


Blaine smiled at the memory of the adoption interview but he sighed sadly when he realised that he and Kurt had never heard from her again. And then he had to leave for Kurt. A thought suddenly hit Blaine.

Kurt's phone call that he left Blaine was when he was packing up his stuffy from the apartment. He sounded so happy on the phone. Blaine started thinking about all of the clues that he was too blinded to realise.


"Your father is Kurt Hummel" Blaine announced looking at Adeline.

"What does it matter to you?" Finn hissed again, gripping tighter on Adeline's hand.

"I-I didn't know that h-he had a daughter" Blaine replied, speechless.

"Of course you wouldn't. There is a lot about Kurt that you do not know" Finn hissed.


"So you see, Director" Burt continued. "I do not want this man being in control of a case that is endangering my son's life when he could not control his fear of a future."

"Don't you remember, Burt?" Finn asked with a hint of sarcasm. "Blaine left before Kurt came home and explained."


'B-Blaine…Please, t-this doesn't…this doesn't make sense. I do-don't un-understand…w-why? W-why did y-you do t-this to me? I-I re-really ne-need y-you. Please…c-call m-me…..I l-lo-love y-you.'


'Yo, white boy! You have got some nerve! Kurt had the most amazing news to tell you and you abandoned him without an explanation. Well you know what? He deserves better!'


'BLAINE WARBLER! Your hobbit head and your little dwarf singing voice are in for a world of pain! I cannot believe that you just abandoned Kurt, right when he needed you the most! You missed out on something great, you hear me?"


"Honey" Rachel tried to soothe. "You got your voice from your daddy. You have heard him sing."

"But why can't I sing to him? He sings all these songs to me to cheer him up but it makes him sad when I sing them back."

"Um...what songs?" Wes questioned getting slightly suspicious and noticing Blaine's stance by the desk.

"Somewhere only we know" Adeline began listing. "Blackbird...Teenage Dream..."

"Songs that Blaine used to sing" Wes concluded.


"You really have no idea to what extent your actions led to?" Burt said disgusted.


"Kurt is Adeline's only parent" Karofsky explained slowly. "Kurt adopted her from a young mother in Ohio, possibly to compensate for the fact that he had so much love to give and no one to give it to."


"We know more than you think, Blaine. It's a shame that after speaking to Adeline, you can't figure out what you really abandoned."


"And she's from Ohio! She is flying up to New York to see family and she was excited to see that we live in New York too, so she's meeting up with us tomorrow at 2pm."

"I can't believe we are one step closer to having a child"


Everything was replaying in Blaine's mind like a movie on repeat, but there were a few things that stood out the most to him.

Kurt needed you...abandoned...child...Ohio

Blaine's eyes snapped open. Karofsky said that Adeline was adopted from a young mother who was in Ohio. He and Kurt met with Bethany Joy who lived in Ohio about adopting her child.

"Blaine, sweetie, it's Kurt" Kurt said happily. "I need you to come home early tonight. I have some incredible news to tell you and I do not want to do it over the phone. I can't wait to tell you! I'll see you tonight, baby. I love you."

Kurt's voice mail. Blaine replayed the message over and over again in his head and it matched up. Kurt's big news...Adeline's birth mother was from the same area as the mother that Blaine and Kurt met...Kurt's big news was that Bethany had chosen them to adopt her child. Blaine jumped up from the couch and ran to the bathroom. He felt completely sick at the thought of abandoning Kurt when he had found out that they were going to be parents. He felt nauseas and disgusting at the thought of not only abandoning Kurt, but he abandoned Adeline. That is why the Hummel's were so against him finding Kurt. It all finally made sense. He abandoned his daughter and she has no idea who he is and he made her cry today too. He was the worst parent in the world.

Blaine couldn't take the feeling in the pit of his stomach. He had to be 100% sure so he walked out of the bathroom and grabbed his phone. He called the one person who could help him.

"Hey, it's Blaine" Blaine said when the caller picked up. "I really need to talk to you. Can we meet up? I'll tell you everything that you want to know."
