After Paige's outburst after finding out about he and Blaine, Kurt sat on the couch with his head in his hands. Paige was supposed to be the easy one. Ella was supposed to be the diva of the family. He had absolutely no idea what to say to Paige to get her to forgive him. How was he to explain the reasoning in why he was dating her band director? As he sat and thought about it, his cell phone began to ring. Kurt looked down at the caller id and saw that it was Blaine. He really couldn't focus on him right now, but he reluctantly clicked the answer button.
"Blaine, really, this isn't the best time." Kurt said.
"I know, but I feel really bad about telling Paige." Blaine replied.
"She's just so mad. I've never seen her like this. Maybe this- maybe us just isn't working." Kurt said back.
"Kurt, no, please. I really like you and our kids were bound to find out sooner or later. They just need time to process. I'll tell my kids tonight and you tell Ella and talk to Paige. Then we'll meet at the Diner for dinner." Blaine pleaded. "Please Kurt, just give us one more chance." Kurt sighed. He really did like Blaine and he wanted to be with him, but his girls were more important.
"I'll talk to them, but I'm not making any promises." Kurt replied before ending the call. He took a deep breath and stood up from the couch. He went to the backyard where Ella was practicing her routine for an upcoming dance competition and asked to her come inside. She nodded her head and then sat on the couch as Kurt attempted to get Paige to come out of her room. He knocked on the door.
"Paige, please, can you come out?" he practically begged. He got no response. "Paige, I know you're mad, but please come out." Kurt tried again. He heard a click and the door opened. Paige, teary-eyed and clearly upset, walked out and plopped down on the couch. Kurt sighed and walked over to both of his daughters.
"Okay, Paige, I get that you're upset and you have a right to be. Ella, I know you don't know, but I'm dating Mr. Anderson, Paige's band director." Ella unlike Paige didn't start crying, but she didn't look very happy. Paige looked him straight in the face.
"Don't you even care that you're practically replacing Dada." she said in an angry voice. Kurt looked at her in amazement. Never had he ever forgotten about Adam. He was constantly on his mind.
"Honey, I am not trying to replace Dada." Kurt replied. "I will always love him, but we all need to move on. We all deserve to be happy and Mr. Anderson makes me happy. I know that this will be a big adjustment, but I would like you both to try to happy for me. Mr. Anderson is telling his kids tonight to and then we're all going to go out to dinner." Kurt said. Both girls looked back at Kurt with looks that screamed the fact that they were still very pissed off. "I don't care how upset you are at me, you are to be on your best behavior tonight, okay?" Kurt added.
"Fine." Paige and Ella replied before standing up from the couch and silently walking into their room and then slamming their door. Kurt sighed and hoped that Blaine had more luck with his kids. Sadly, that wasn't the case. Blaine had sat his kids down and told them, but the reactions were mixed. Olivia was thrilled. She loved the fact that Kurt had daughters. She was always surrounded by boys, so having some girls to talk to was so exciting for her. Matthew on the other hand was beyond pissed.
"Why the hell are you dating?" Matt yelled. "We have another father remember!"
"Matthew, do not yell like that in front of your sister." Blaine replied sternly before turning to Olivia. "Why don't you go get changed to go out to dinner, okay honey?" he said. Olivia smiled and walked away. "Don't you ever talk to me like that to me again." Blaine said. "Especially in front of your sister."
"You aren't in charge of me. I can do what I want." Matt retorted. "And I am not going out to dinner with you and your stupid new boyfriend."
"Watch your mouth! And yes you are." Blaine said. "Give me any trouble tonight and not only will you be grounded, but I will make sure that Coach Wilson benches you for the next two games."
"What! You can't do that." Matt yelled back.
"Try me." Blaine responded. "Now go get whatever you need for dinner and let's go." Both families drove to the diner where Blaine and Kurt had their first date and pulled into the parking lot at almost the same time. They got out of their cars and Blaine went over to Kurt and came him a peck on the cheek. Matthew, Paige, and Ella all grimaced in disgust. It had been a very long time since they had seen either of their fathers kiss anyone.
"Anyway," Blaine said. "Kurt, these are my kids Matthew and Olivia." he said. "And I know Paige, but it's nice to meet you for the first time Ella." he continued. All of the kids exchanged forced smiles and awkward handshakes before they went into the restaurant.
"How many?" A waitress asked when they got to the front desk.
"six." Kurt replied. She smiled and brought them over to a table with six chairs. Paige and Ella sat in two chairs on one side of the table, while Matthew and Olivia did the same on the other side. Kurt and Blaine took the chairs at each ends of the table. They all looked at their menus and sat in silence.
"So, Paige, how are you liking the football games? It's pretty fun playing in the stands, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's okay I guess." Paige said. "It kind of stinks that we can't sit down though. Its a really long time to stand up."
"Oh, I promise, it won't feel like that soon enough. You'll be used to it in no time." Blaine replied. "At least we don't have to run the whole game, right Matt?" Blaine said trying to get even an ounce of humor into the conversation, but no one laughed.
"That's kind of the point of football Dad." Matt said back. "Not that you would understand that." he mumbled under his breath. Kurt jumped in when he saw that Blaine was failing.
"So, Olivia, your daddy tells me that you're a cheerleader." he said. Olivia smiled.
"Yeah! It's really fun!" Olivia said." "But, I'm having a lot of trouble doing my standing back tuck."
"Oh! Ella, you can do one of those." Kurt said. "Maybe one day you could help Olivia." he suggested.
"I..umm…I'm pretty busy getting ready for my next competition for dance." Ella said.
"Are you a really good dancer?" Blaine asked.
"I'm the standing title holder in the state." Ella replied. "That's about as high as you can go in just Ohio."
"That's amazing! Right, Livy?" Blaine said.
"Yeah. That's really cool. Daddy was thinking about letting me join dance." Olivia replied.
"You'll have to let me know what studio she dances at, Kurt" Blaine replied.
"Oh, She dances at my friend, Brittany's studio. It's called Lima Heights Dance Company." Kurt said.
"That's Aunt Santana's studio!" Olivia exclaimed. Both Ella and Kurt looked confused.
"Santana is one of my good friends and she opened a Lima Heights Dance Company. I think she's dating a Brittany. Brittany Pierce, I think." Blaine replied.
"Wow! What a coincidence." Kurt laughed. Then the waitress came over and took their order. The conversation after that mostly consisted of Blaine and Kurt, the kids only talking when directly spoken to. After paying the bill the two families headed out to their respectable cars. Blaine and Kurt met outside.
"So, that wasn't too bad." Blaine said.
"I guess you're right." Kurt replied. "I guess they all just need some time."
"I told you." Blaine said with a smile and then kissed Kurt on the lips. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. Maybe we can take the kids bowling. That's a fun family activity right?"
"Yeah, I think that would be fun and Ella doesn't have dance so it's perfect. I'll see you then." Kurt said before walking back to his car. Then Blaine did the same. The night may not have been perfect, but things were getting better and that's all they could hope for.
