Et voila, here is chapter 9! I'm sorry that it took so long to update, I had to finish an essay for school,

so I've been working on that. And I was working on a Rachel/Kurt three-shot, but then BIOTA happened

so I don't know if I'd going to continue with it. I kind of hate Rachel now...

Okay this chapter is family time! Especially Carole/Kurt, but also Burt/Kurt and just some family time.

Don't worry, Blaine is back in the next chapter. I think this is the last K-rated chapter, the next one

is T and then it'll probably change to M.

Enjoy reading and if you don't mind... review, please :D

And thanks for all the alerts and favorites!

Chapter 9: The time of my life

"Okay, mom-c, what'd you want to do?" Kurt had just opened the door for Carole and linked arms with her. They walked towards the city center of Ohio where they were going to spend their afternoon.

"Okay, I wanted to go to the hairdresser and get a new shirt for your dad. And underwear for Finn. I suppose you want to shop for some new clothes?"

Kurt nodded. "Gosh, how can you not buy your own underwear... But yeah, shopping. I actually need suspenders and a skinny jeans. And I also need..."

"Yes?", Carole asked, but Kurt shook his head. "Never mind. Let's just get to the mall. Any plans on what you're going to do with your hair?"

Though his stepmom felt that Kurt had wanted to say more, she smiled. "I was thinking about coloring my hair a bit darker brown with some highlights. What do you think?"

Kurt clapped exited with his hands. "Oh my gosh, that's really a great idea! You're going to look so awesome! More than you already do, off course."

Carole smiled and blushed. She pulled Kurt a little bit closer. "You know, I really like this. Shopping, chatting, someone who notices that I've changed my hear without actually telling them... And well, we can talk about boys too!"

He giggled and blushed. "I don't really have to talk about boys... as in plural."

"Ooooh... Because you have Blaine you can't look at other boys?" She winked at him. Carole was the first to admit that a new boyfriend takes all your attention.

"I just can't believe that such a handsome guy really likes me... I'm 17 and I never had a boyfriend before this and now I have this awesome, superhot and supersweet boyfriend... It seems so unreal. And it feels amazing." He shrugged his shoulders and looked a bit embarrassed at his mom-c.

"You deserve him, you know that, right? You are a very nice guy and you are also very handsome.", Carole said, "And I know how exiting it is to have your first boyfriend. It's a long time ago, but I've been there."

Kurt looked at her sideways. "Do you still think about him? Your first boyfriend?"

She sighed. "Every day. I married him and I got Finn with him."

"Oh... So you've never... had another experience except him? I mean before you had Finn." Kurt gave another of his strange laughs.

Carole smirked. "What do you mean exactly with experience, Kurt? I dated some other guys between Finn's dad and I first hooked up and when I married him."

"Uhm... well, dad had 'the talk' with me, and it made me think... About... all these things... Oh gosh... how stupid is it that I'm talking about this with you... You can just ignore this."

"I'm not going to ignore this talk, because I think it's very smart of you to talk about this with a grown-up. I think you and Blaine are mature and responsible enough to handle this. But think before you act. You only have one first time, so be sure to do it with someone special."

Kurt blushed. "How do you know if it's someone special?"

Carole let out a laugh. "You never know for sure. But if you keep thinking about him, if your heart jumps when he looks at you, if your eyes start to twinkle when you see him and if you can't get enough of kissing him, then he might be the good guy. But only if you want to, Kurt. Not because your crazy hormones want to and not because you think Blaine wants it. Off course he has to want it too."

He giggled again. He wouldn't admit it to Carole, but Blaine... He felt everything what Carole had described. "How uhm... how old were you?"

"When I had sex for the first time?", she asked, "I was 17. And we had known each other for a few months. But it's not about how long you know each other, it's about how good you know each other."

They arrived at the hair dresser and as soon as Carole was seated, Kurt went to a few other shops. He wanted to buy a little present for Blaine, just to make his transfer a little bit easier. After all, his boyfriend gave up a safe school for a school with bullies to make Kurt feel better. And that was one hell of a sacriface for a teenager to make.

But what should he get him...? Blaine didn't really like fashion, so maybe a shirt wasn't a good option... and it wasn't really original. Maybe he could buy him some chocolate, he really liked that. Kurt shook his head. No, candy wasn't a very good idea; that was even more cliché. Then he walked passed a juwellery shop where he saw something that was perfect, but he had to call his mom for this.

"Hi, mom-c, how is it going there?"

"I was just about to call you! I'm ready here, where are you, honey?"

When Kurt heard her hang up, he looked confused at his phone, but then he heard his name. He looked around and saw Carole coming down the stairs to him. He walked to her and looked at her new hair-do. She looked very good. "That's beautiful, mom-c. Dad's gonna love this."

Carole smiled. "Thank you, baby! Now what were you calling for?"

He dragged her to the shop where he had seen his perfect present for Blaine. "Okay, so I was looking for a present for Blaine, and then I saw this ring", he pointed at the silver one he meant, "You see, it has 'courage' as an inscription. That's what Blaine always said to help me with... the bullies."

"Oh, that's a really great idea, Kurt. Let's go get it!"

Kurt smiled but he hesitated. "Do you... Don't you think it's a little too gay?"

Carole let out a laugh. "Sweetie! Why are you thinking about that? It doesn't matter if it is 'too gay'. As long as you think that Blaine will like it, then that's enough. You like the ring, Blaine will like the ring, that's all that matters." She leaned over, gave him a kiss on his cheek and whispered: "By the way, I don't think it's gay." He smiled, took her hand and got into the shop to buy the ring.

We're in that pub next to McDo. You 'n mom comin? – Ur baby bro :p

Big brother and mommy r on the way – Kurt

Kurt smiled at this text of his silly brother. It was really awesome to know that Finn had accepted him as a brother. That hadn't been easy for him, Kurt knew that, but it happened. He and his dad had a great bond, he had a mother figure, a true brother and a great boyfriend, who all loved him and he loved them too.

"Thank you, mom-C."

"For what?"

Kurt whiped away a tear. "For being you. For being my mom... for giving me a brother. And for making my dad happy."

She carressed his hair. Kurt might be a 17-year-old teen who acts cool sometimes, but deep down inside he was a great kid. A good student and especially a kind guy. The kind of son every parent wished. "I am happy to have such great kid as my stepson, Kurt."

When they arrived at the pub, Burt and Finn were discussing about some football game, something with the upcoming Super Bowl. Burt stood up when he saw his beautiful wife entering with his son. At the sight of the bags they were carrying, Burt decided that he wouldn't go to many games this season. There was a serious chance that they'd be poor after that. He gave Carole a kiss. "Your hair looks beautiful, honey."

Burt, Carole and Kurt joined Finn again at the table. "You had a good shopping afternoon, I see," Burt chuckled.

Kurt had a big smile on his face. "We found the perfect jeans for mom-c, I found super suspenders and then a few shirts and a skinny jeans for me."

"You forget to mention your present for Blaine, Finn."

Kurt always blushes a little bit when someone talks about his boyfriend. His eyes were shining while he took the ring out of his pocket. He opened the box and showed it to his father. "It has courage written on it, that's what Blaine used to say to me with the whole bullying drama."

Burt frowned. "You're not going to propose, right?"

"No, dad! I'm 17, for god's sake... It's just a present for my boyfriend. You give presents to mom-C, Finn gave presents to his girlfriend and I give presents fo my boyfriend.", Kurt answered firmly. Propose... where did his dad get that idea?

"Okay, okay... Just checking."

Kurt and Burt laughed out loud. They had a history with 'just checking' things. Carole and Finn looked curious at each other. Kurt explained smiling what was going on. "Dad said the same thing when I came out to him. He asked if I was sure and when I said that I was sure he was 'just checking'."

"Oh, okay," Finn answered, "You did that like... Officially?"

Kurt nodded. "Yeah, sure. I denied it to you guys too first. It's just something I had to do to come clean with myself and with my dad."

"Oh... Okay."

Burt smiled. "Well, what do you think, boys and Carole, maybe we can eat at home and enjoy our evening there... We had a pretty exhausting day and when I look at the amount of bags you have, you had a busy day too."

Both Kurt and Finn replied with a nod and Finn added a yawn. Carole and Burt smiled while they asked for the bill.

"Hey, dad... Can Blaine maybe come over tonight then?"

Burt sighed. "What happened to a family night, Kurt? I want to eat with the four of us, but if he wants to come after that... Allright then, mate. But it's going to be late for him to get back home."

Kurt smiled. "Can't he just... stay over for the night? He has done that before?"

"That was promised before I knew you two were a couple, but okay, he can stay. Just lock your door if that's necessairy."

"Dad!", Kurt said alarmed, "We are not doing... that. Yet. But thank you."

Kurt gave his dad a hug. "Everything to mak you happy, kiddo."

We're home earlier! Do you want to sleep over tonight? Asked my dad, he's okay with it. Around 8? I miss you! – Kurt

:-D Great! I'm leaving right after dinner! Miss you too – Blaine xxxxx
