This chapter contains talk of eating disorders

BPOV-

''So… what do we do now,'' Blair asks, sitting in the front seat.

The warm April sun shines in on this Wednesday afternoon. She and I are on our way back from the doctor, where our suspicions have been confirmed.

''Well,'' I look at the road ,'We'll start the therapy on Saturday. And Kurt, Rory and I are here for you. You know that.''

''I… I don't know how long it will take me to be cured. But… I have wanted to purge this past week… I just tried to stop. I did something else. And I thought about… I don't want Grace to go through this one day. But if she does… maybe me getting help will help her.''

I pull into the garage of our building, turning the car off and facing her.

''I'm sorry.''

''For what,'' Blair questions, ''This isn't your fault.''

''I want you to know it's not your fault,'' I sigh ,''I just feel like I could have done more… to prevent this.''

''Dad, you have done everything for me. But… this isn't your fault. You can't protect me me forever,'' she reminds me.

''I know… I guess that I have to let you go at some point,'' I brush some hair from her face.

Yes, I know she is eighteen, not eight. But that doesn't make this any easier.

''You have taken care of me since I was eight. Even before that. And even if I leave… I'll always come back. Now please stop. You're making me cry,'' she wipes at her eyes.

''Blair Anderson,'' I laugh, tears coming to my own eyes as I kiss her forehead ,''I love you so much. You're the best daughter I could ever ask for.''

''I love you too. You're the best dad I could ever ask for.''

I won't lie: none of this has been easy. Transitioning from being single, to being a single dad, to working my personal life around raising her… it has been difficult.

But for every moment when I thought I had no idea what I was doing, there is a moment like this.

And that makes it all worth it.

KPOV-

''How does your arm feel,'' I ask Rory.

We're on our way back to apartment after Rory has gotten his cast off.

''I think I'm actually paler,'' he looks at his arm ,''It doesn't really hurt.I know I'll have to go to the physical therapy, though.''

''You arm will be better before you know it,'' I smile at him, trying to be positive for his sake.

''Dad… I have something to tell you,'' Rory begins.

''Please tell me Sugar's not pregnant,'' I respond before I can stop myself.

''No… she is not pregnant,'' Rory raises an eyebrow.

''Sorry. Blair's pregnancy put me on edge,'' I admit ,''So what did you need to tell me?''

''I'm valedictorian,'' he beams at me.

''Rory! I am so proud of you! You want to go get something to eat to celebrate?''

''Maybe we can just take it home. I promised Sugar that Jake, Joe, Ryder and I would get fitted for our tuxes, since I have to go for the prom tux and so does Joe.''

''Do you need me to drop you off,'' I ask him, and he nods.

''Thanks. Maybe Jake can bring me back. I'll bring dinner, I have some money left over,'' he replies.

''You know,'' I tell him, pulling into a parking space ,''I'm proud of you. You have grown into such an incredible young man.''

You remind me of Finn in a lot of ways.

''Well, I learned from the best,'' Rory grins, hugging me before getting out of the car with a quick 'I love you'.

''I love you, too,'' I wait for him to meet Jake and Joe in the store before driving off.

Making the change from bachelor to single parent wasn't as easy as I'd thought it would be. But I would never change a thing. I adopted Rory when he was ten, and now he's eighteen and I can see my life has changed. Definitely for the better.

Eight years later, and I still can't believe it's been that long, and I am married to a wonderful man and have three gorgeous children. And my designs are getting even more notice. It's… if anyone had asked me what I imagined my life to be like after Andrew, I would have no answer.

He took the brightest colors and made them dull and uninteresting. Then Blaine came along, and brought back the vibrant colors.

I've never felt this way before. I am the happiest I have ever been, and I know these feelings will never go away. Of course, our family is going through a lot. But we'll get through it.

We've gotten through everything before, after all. Blaine's by my side, so I know it will all work out.

Everything always does.

RyderPOV-

''Hey, Ryder,'' Mr. Anderson smiles when he opens the door ,''Blair's asleep. I'll get her.''

''Actually. Mr. Anderson, I, uh… need to talk to you.''

''Is it because she's been diagnosed with bulimia,'' he asks, closing the door and leading me to the living room.

''No. I mean, she did call and tell me. But I figured she'd want to talk about it in person. My question is for you,'' I tell him sitting across from him.''

''Okay,'' he nods ,''What's up? Everything okay?''

''Everything is great actually. I wanted to talk to you about Blair,'' I breathe.

Here goes nothing.

''I want to ask her to marry me.''

Mr. Anderson, Mr. Anderson-Hummel raises an eyebrow, before sighing.

''I know I can't control you, or her for that matter. But you've both put each other through so much. And I can't just forget her pregnancy… everything that happened there,'' he reminds me.

''I know I have messed up so many times in the past. Blair and I both have. BUt we keep going back to each other, because we know we're meant to be,'' I tell him.

He seems a bit skeptical, then nods.

''You're serious about this, then? About my daughter?''

''Yes, Mr. Anderson. Uhh… Mr. Anderson-Hummel. I'll help her through her eating disorder treatment, her insecurities… everything. I know I want to spend my life with her, I just don't think we should get married right now. We can wait a few years. All I know is I can't imagine my life without her. I have to ask. She's… I feel the way about her that you feel about Kurt.''

''I understand. Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming. And maybe you should call me Blaine… or dad, since you're gonna be my son in law.''

''You… y-you mean I can ask her,'' I grin, and he nods.

''Look, Blair is important to me. I've watched her grow up. And I know that she's more than capable of taking care of herself, even if she does get misguided at times. But we all need someone to lean on in hard times. So… promise me you'll be there for her, like she's be there for you.''

''I promise, Blaine,'' he shakes my hand when I say that ,''T-thank you. You won't regret this, neither will Blair. And I know that I won't.''

Now all that is left is to actually ask Blair. It'll be a few months before I can, but I do want to ask her.

And hopefully she'll say yes.
