''Let me start by saying that I saw the tribute to Cory. I think that it was beautifully done, and I hope that he rests in peace. I think I will not include Finn. This is for me to give respect in my own way. He will only be mentioned in positive light of his memory. Also, this will tie into the story.


BPOV-

Blair sits on the couch, hands on her lap and looking at the floor.

I'd just gotten in. Tonight was the glee club's performance, and I'd also gotten a date tonight. I was feeling great...

Until I came home and found my fifteen year old daughter on the couch making out with her boyfriend.

''I thought I said no one over when I'm not home?''

''I'm so sorry, it's just that I haven't been able to spend time with him this past week. He's been busy.''

''Blair...I just want to make sure you're safe.''

She looks at me confused before her eyes widen.

''Dad. no.''

''I mean... know you're growing up, and you're gonna want to-''

''Dad! No! I already...Danielle gave me the talk when I was thirteen!''

''Thank goodness, okay. But Blaire, he wasn't wearing a shirt. And I just want to know that...you're not being pressured. That you're not pressuring him.''

''Dad, Ryder's great. He'd never pressure me, and I'd never pressure him. Neither of us are ready.''

''Good,'' I smile, tucking a curl behind her ear ,''You can wait a few years. Or until you're thirty!''

She laughs before laying her head on my shoulder.

''I do still want to talk to you.''

''No,'' she groans, grabbing a pillow and laying down, facing away from me.

''Not the physical part. The emotional part.''

''Okay,'' she mumbles, still not looking at me.

''Okay...well...you're gonna be vulnerable.''

''Why is this happening?''

''Hey, you don't think it's awful for me to have this talk with my daughter? Okay...it has an emotional and physical impact. More emotional, though. You need to be with someone that will respect you, and that you know loves you. Who's going to...use this to connect with you, and not just...use you.''

''Daddy, I don't know if it'll be with Ryder, but he's a good guy.''

''I know he is. But he still a teenage boy. And guys, no matter how nice, want one thing. Now, that's not always the only thing they want. Some girls only want one thing. But there are good guys and girls that will wait for the other to be ready. But the point is...do...that because you love someone. Not because you're pressured. You understand, yeah?''

''Yeah, I understand.''

''And...before you do...that stuff, tell better yet, tell Danielle. You'll need to get protection. Now, I'm not encouraging you...I just want you to be safe.''

''Thanks dad. As awkward as this was, and it was really awkward, I know you just care,'' she smiles, standing from the couch ,''And I will be careful. Physically and mentally. Now, I'm gonna go to bed and try to erase this conversation from my mind.''

She kisses my cheek goodnight, and walks off to her bedroom.

I pick up my phone, and call Kurt.

Even just seeing his name makes me smile

KPOV-

I throw my head back, laughing as Blaine talks to me.

''It's not funny!,'' he whines, but I can almost see him smiling.

''I'm dreading having the talk with Rory. ''

''She was mortified, Kurt. It would have been funny if I wasn't, too.''

''Well, you're a good dad, Blaine,'' I smile, leaning back in my chair,''Not many men will give their daughter the sex talk.''

''Well, you're an amazing father, too. And Rory really looks at you.''

I look over at Rory, who is asleep on the couch, and smile.

''Yeah?''

''Mhm. He says you're his role model. Maybe on our date next weekend on our date you could show me how much of an amazing singer you are.''

''I don't know...maybe.''

''I don't want to rush you. When you're ready, we can sing a duet, yeah?''

''Yeah,'' I breath out before I think about it.

I haven't felt like performing in so long...and this man has me jumping at the chance to sing with him.

''So, what's up for Thanksgiving?''

''Well, I'd hoped my family could fly in'' I explain,''But they couldn't.''

''Neither could my family...would you like to come over? Of course, Rory is welcome.''

''That sounds great. But I promised Santana we'd be with her.''

''Bring her, as well.''

Could this guy get any better.

''I'll talk to them tomorrow. I have to go, Blaine, I promised my dad I'd call him.''

''Okay, goodnight.''

We say our goodbyes, and I call dad.

''What' up, buddy,'' he asks, and I know he's leaning back with a smile on his face.

''Not much. Rory's are you and Carol?''

''Well...Carol, you know she still misses him. We all do. But i think she finally has a sense of...peace. And know it's different, but it took me a long time to find peace after your mother. So I understand.''

I smile to myself. That's what I love most about my dad. He's so empathetic.

Like when I got my heartbroken...

No. I can't think about that.

''So are you guys gonna be able to fly out.''

''It looks like it, kid.''

''Great,'' I say, halfheartedly.

I kind of wanted to spend the day with Blaine.

He's a good friend.

''You sound a little dissappointed there, kid. What's going on?''

''Nothing, dad. I'd love to see you, and Rory. It's just that Santana is coming over. Rachel is flying home to spend the weekend with her family. And I had a friend and his daughter spending the day with us.''

''Well, invite them over. I'm sure that Carol would be more than happy to help make more food.''

''That's a great idea,'' I smile.

''So this friend...more than a friend?''

''Um, no. He's Rory's glee instructor. His daughter is a sophomore, too.''

''Is he married?''

''No...and he's gay.''

''So you're just not interested?''

It's so easy to talk to him about this stuff.

''I am, I mean, he is attractive. I just don't...after...''

''You're afraid to fall in love again?''

''Yeah.''

''Listen, Kurt. After your mother,'' he takes in a breath ,''it was hard to move on. I never thought I'd find love again. And then I met Carol. I think that you're going to find love again. And I believe it'll be sooner than you think.''

I thank him, and he hands the phone to Carol, who gushes about a new dessert she's been meaning to try and how she wants so many copies of Rory's photos from school and the dances.

We talk for an hour before they decide that it is time for them to go to bed.

I smile to myself as I go to sleep that night.

It's good to have such a great family.

BPOV-

''I think you're going to like being in the glee club,'' I smile at the new student ,''We could always use another soprano.''

''I'm happy to be here,'' she smiles, her blue eyes showing her happiness.

Just like Kurt's.

Everything reminds me of him.

''Um,'' she begins, putting her bag on her shoulder ,''Could you tell me where the bathroom is?''

''Yeah, it's right down the hallway. Class starts in six minutes.''

''I'll be back,'' she smiles.

Five minutes later, the other kids are all sitting in their seats.

Blair is holding Ryder's hand as she and Marley talk about something, and Jake and Ryder look bored.

I laugh to myself before deciding to start class.

''Guys, we have a new member.''

''Is she good,'' Harmony asks, adjusting her hat.

''Yes, actually. She's a soprano, which would be really helpful.''

''Sorry, I got lost,'' a voice says.

''Aw, there you are.''

She stands next to me, looking at the class.

''Guys, say hello to Kate Smythe.''

Blair's head looks up quickly, and her eyes widen.

''Blair Anderson,'' Kate says in disbelief, a smile spreading across her face ,''It's good to see you.''

''Oh, you two have met?''

''When she went to the all girl school, Amber Riley High School, we were..roommates.''

''Oh, any friend of Blair's is a friend of ours,'' Marley beams.

''You can sit next to me,'' Courtney say, moving a seat over so that she will sit in between Joe and Kate

''We'll have to catch up later,'' Kate says to Blair, as she walks by, putting a hand on Blair's shoulder.

Blair nods and blushes.

''Allright...let's get started guys.''

Because the faster we get through the lesson, the sooner I can call Kurt.

So I was thinking of doing something with the glee kids like in Blame it on the Alcohol season 2. What do you think?
