Hey everyone! I am so excited to be writing this chapter, it's gonna be a good one! I thank everyone that has been reading, and I am sorry that originally put this in humor, I have realized now that it is more of a drama story…haha. Anyways, thanks once again for all the support!
Now onto the chapter…
Dealing with a teenage daughter can be hard. Especially when you're Blaine Anderson.
Melody was what he liked to call, 'Kurt as a girl, but with a little bit more attitude and sass.' She hated when she was punished and often would avoid her father at all costs when it happened. But she needed to realize that what she had done to Kurt was wrong. But, at the same time, Blaine could understand why she acted the way she had.
She was being introduced to her biological father after 12 years of not knowing that he existed or who he even was.
So, as Blaine sat in living room, on his brown leather couch, he wondered how he should deal with his daughter.
As soon as she and Blaine had gotten home, Melody had rushed upstairs, slamming her door to her room.
Blaine began to walk up the spiral staircase and started to walk towards his daughter's bedroom. He stood in front of her door and then rose his fist to the wood, knocking a few times. He could hear Melody groan from behind it.
"I don't really wanna talk right now, dad."
"Mel, we really do though. Now open this door," Blaine called into the wood. He could hear Melody hop off of her bed and then approach the door. She opened the door and then slid her hand down from the handle.
Blaine took in a breath as he saw his tear-stained, red faced daughter. She had been crying her eyes out.
"Melody…" He whispered. She looked down to the floor, shuttering. "You come here, baby." Blaine pulled her into a hug and her tears began to seep into his navy blue button-up.
"W-why did h-he leave us?" Melody asked between her sobs.
"I don't know, Melody," Blaine whispered. "I don't think I ever will…"
Kurt knew he needed to find the best child custody attorney in Ohio. And who did he think to ask? His father of course.
Kurt pulled his SUV in front of his father's garage. Getting out of the car, he grabbed a packet of papers with his custody order on it. He walked into the tire shop and spotted his father. He approached him and his father couldn't but give him a shocked look.
"Kurt…my boy. Is that really you?" The bald man asked.
"Hey dad," Kurt said with a grin. They pulled into a hug and a few tears fell down Kurt's cheeks. "It's good to see you too."
Burt pulled out of the hug and eyed his son, "So how can I help you, bud."
"Dad…" Kurt began slowly, trying to contain his thoughts. "I want to get my daughter back. And…I need your help."
Burt gave him a curious look, wiping his hands with a rag in the process, "Well…this is sudden. Kurt…how do you even think that'll be able to get her back?"
Kurt pulled out the folder in his arm and handed it to his father, "I was hoping that maybe you'd know someone in the legal system. I got my custody application and well, I just think that Melody being my biological daughter…I'd have a good chance at getting her back."
"Well, let me ask you this…" Burt began as he leaned over a car hood. "Did you and Blaine ever actually discuss who was going to get Melody and who wasn't?"
Kurt let out a breath, "It was never really brought up. At that point in time, I was so anger at Blaine that I just…forgot about her." He looked away from his father and down to the ground.
Burt gave an understanding nod, "And now you want your little girl back."
A tear ran down his son's cheek and he began to nod, "More than anything in the world."
Burt pulled out his cell phone and began to dial in a number, "Well lucky for you, I know a guy."
Kurt began to laugh a little and watched as his father made the call.
The phone in the Anderson household began to ring at about 8:30. Blaine groaned as he reached over to the charger and answered.
"H-hello?" He asked, sleepily. He began to rub his eyes as he did so.
"Yes good morning, Mr. Anderson. I'm Attorney Phil Oswald, I am calling on behalf of Mr. Kurt Hummel," The other line replied to Blaine. The voice was slightly gruff and Blaine could tell that he was a smoker.
"An attorney?" Blaine questioned as he sat up in his bed, completely forgetting how tired he was. "Why would Kurt need an attorney?"
The man let out a sigh, "Mr. Hummel has requested a meeting with you, this afternoon. It will take place at the my office at about 11:00. Will you be able to attend?"
"W-what are you talking about? What is this all about?" Blaine asked, frantically.
"I believe it was something about your, well his, daughter. Melody…isn't it?"
Blaine blinked his eyes shut. This could not be happening.
The office was almost an intimidating place to Blaine. Sitting in the cold leather chairs waiting for an attorney to arrive. But the most scary thing of it all was that they were discussing who Melody was fit to live with.
Kurt sat to the other side of Blaine, silent. Blaine glanced over to him and shook his head.
"I can't believe you're doing this, Kurt. I never expected, you of all people, to be this cruel. To try and rip me apart from my own daughter. To-"
"My daughter, you mean," Kurt replied sharply, sending Blaine a glare. "You know, no matter how much you want, a DNA test will always show that she is in fact mine."
"Oh really," Blaine said as he fully turned his body to face the taller man. "Because if she was really your daughter, you'd probably let her have known that you existed for about, I don't know, 12 years."
Kurt rolled his eyes, "The only reason that I left her is that I was so pissed off at you. That was the only reason. I should've taken her with me. We could've had the perfect life together."
"Where is all this coming from?" Blaine shouted. He just didn't understand why Kurt just suddenly wanted Melody back. Why he just had to choose now of all times. Blaine knew that when regional's came around, they were competing against the Warblers. Was that the reason why Kurt wanted Melody so badly? He just didn't understand it.
"Just stop, Blaine," Kurt hissed. "We both know the answer. She is my daughter and she belongs with me, okay? End of discussion."
Suddenly the door to the office opened and in walked a tall man with black hair and blue eyes. He was probably in his early 50s and he wore a brown suit.
"You two must be Kurt and Blaine. It's a pleasure, Phil Oswald," The man said as he stuck his hand out to Kurt and then to Blaine. He began to walk over to his desk and then sat down in the leather office chair. "So, we have a child custody case on our hands, is that right?"
"Yes, yes it is," Kurt answered with a slight grin. Blaine rolled his eyes and stared at the man.
"Sir, you cannot let this happen. Melody is my daughter," Blaine said as gave the man pleading eyes.
"Was your daughter, Blaine. Was," Kurt said as he handed the attorney his custody application. The man opened up the papers and began to analyse it.
"It says here that Kurt Hummel is the biological father. But…that he and his husband got a divorce only 3 years after the child's birth. Care to explain?"
"Disagreements," Kurt replied simply. Blaine looked over to him and then back to the attorney, nodding in agreement.
"Now…this does not say who legal is this girl's guardian. Why was this never discussed?"
"We never wanted to bring her into the middle of it…until she was older and could decide for herself," Blaine explained to the man. Kurt shot him a glare at the last part and then looked back to the attorney.
"Well who has she been living with?" The attorney asked.
"Me for 12 years," Blaine said with a slight smirk, he thought he had won the whole thing. Kurt closed his eyes and then waited for the attorney to answer.
"Well then don't you think that it might be Kurt's turn?" The man asked with raised eyebrows.
Blaine's eyes grew large and Kurt gave the man a huge grin.
"W-what!" Blaine shouted. "You can't do this to her though. She doesn't even want him."
Cue another glare from Kurt, "She will…trust me. Oh, Mr. Oswald. Does this mean you accept my application?"
The attorney shrugged his shoulders, "I guess that I can make it work. It won't take effect for about 2 weeks, but I think it will be for the best."
Blaine still sat dumbstruck as Kurt began to slightly move up and down.
"Thank you so much," He said to the man. The attorney smiled and then rose from his chair.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen," He said as he walked out of the office. Blaine glared over to Kurt. Kurt looked over to him, a small grin on his face still.
"Why?" Blaine asked, a tear almost forming in his right eye.
"Blaine, I'm sorry it's just…I need my baby back," Kurt replied.
Duh. Duh. Duuuuh! Oh my gosh, Melody is going to be officially Kurt's daughter! This was crazy and kinda sad to write. ):
Review if you can!
