Chapter 29

Say You Will Say You Won't

Noah was asleep downstairs when everyone arrived back from the mall. Rachel had left to work on another surprise for Noah; Burt asked Rachel to make sure that it didn't involve a musical. Noah had talked with Burt after breaking down leaving the older man surprised. He had enjoyed the visit and the overwhelming emotions were of joy and sorrow but not regret. Noah smiled talking about Beth and Shelby he was shocked at how Beth's mother treated him. Most women/girls never treated him with gentle kindness; his own mother had treated him like he didn't matter. Burt smiled at the young man knowing that Noah was figuring out he had people that loved him.

Burt heard the front door open and knew the kids were home he greeted them in the living room letting them know that Noah was a sleep and to keep the noise level down. He explained to the group he had to take Noah to the hospital for stitches and the uproar began with Kurt.

"Why didn't you call me? What happened?" Kurt exclaimed looking at his father. His hands resting on his slim hips.

"The doctor said that he overexerted himself with the baby and he pulled one of the slits open. They gave him a couple of stitches and sent us all home. It was one of the fastest trips in and out of the ER I have had, Shelby handled it like a pro." Burt said with a smile; thinking about the take charge woman.

"Shelby was there? But you couldn't call me?" Kurt is literally fuming now. "You couldn't take a couple of minutes to call me?"

"Well yeah it happened when they were here and Noah didn't want Beth to leave; I wouldn't have known he was bleeding if it hadn't been for Rachel. She was the one that saw the blood on his jeans." Burt knows this is not going the way he wanted it and Kurt was due a major tantrum any minute now.

"I can't believe this! You should have called me! I would have come home and gone to the emergency room with him! But no you and Shelby took him instead! Oh and let's not forget Rachel and Beth! I guess you all were busy playing family to remember his boyfriend!" Kurt throws the words around along with his hands. A green eyed monster is rearing its ugly head in Kurt's words. I can't let them hurt Noah!

The Gleeks watch as Burt Papa Bear Hummel stands up completely straight pushing his ever present ball cap back on his head before he launches into battle. The kids take a step back from the two Hummel men.

"Kurt Hummel! You have no right to say those things! You can't always be there for Noah! I thought we already had this conversation! He made it just fine and now he is asleep! You need to stop yelling at me!" The authority in Burt's voice left no room for argument from Kurt.

"Fine, I will stop yelling and go see my boyfriend." Kurt knows that tone of voice from his father; he would send him to Mercedes house as punishment. He turns to go down the stairs to his room when his father tells him to let Noah sleep. "I won't wake him Dad; I just want to check on him."

Kurt quietly goes down the stairs to find Noah curled up in bed softly snoring. He gently puts an afghan over the slumbering teen watching him sleep for a minute. Noah still jerks and twitches in his sleep and Kurt wonders if he will always be fighting in his dreams. He walks quietly back up the stairs to start either dinner or another argument with his father. I have to protect him!

Noah sleeps for a few hours, the emotional drain on his body plus the meds that he took allowed him to sleep without interruption. The only thoughts he has are of Beth playing with her and just being with her.

Burt is being given a fashion show while Kurt cooks dinner with the guys help. He has no idea what some of the stuff is the girls are showing him so he does what most guys do; he smiles and nods a lot at them.

Burt pulls Tina aside after she shows off the new shirts she picked out for Mike asking the Goth if she would mind going shopping with Noah. He feels bad that the kid doesn't have anything of his own.

"Elvira would you mind taking Noah shopping, he needs some clothes and stuff. I will give you my credit card and you can take him to the mall." Burt smiles at the Asian Goth.

"Elvira? Where did that name come from Papa Burt?" Tina looks at him with a smirk. She knew from what Artie told at the mall that Burt was nicknaming all of them.

"There was this woman who used to host a horror movie show. She always wore black and had this big long black hair do. She was like a vampire. The movies were always bad or stupid but we all watched because of her.." Burt stop short of saying he always thought Elvira was hot he didn't want the girl to get the wrong idea. Elvira was popular back in his day.

"Oh I remember my Dad talking about her. He said she was funny on her show making fun of the movies." Tina looks amused at Burt. She doesn't understand why he wants her to take Noah shopping. "Why do you want me to take Noah? Why not Kurt?"

"I like the clothes you picked out for your boyfriend Legs. I know Noah has his own what do you call it style? And I just want him to pick out what he wants and not try and make Kurt happy by wearing something he hates just because Kurt picked it out. Make sense?" Burt hopes Elvira doesn't take offense for Kurt, but Noah is not the corset wearing type after all.

"Yeah it does Papa Bear. Noah would do anything that Kurt asks of him and that includes wearing something that he hates. Just let me know when you want him to go and I will get Mike, Legs, to go with us. Okay?" Tina understands what Papa is really trying to say, Kurt is feminine and Noah is not. She walks back over to Mike and tells him about the trip to the mall and his new nickname.

Everyone except Noah and Rachel are seated at the table enjoying a fresh grilled chicken salad and tater tots. Mercedes threatened Kurt for her favorite food and Burt happily agreed with the Diva. He was allowed to have a total of eight which he made a big deal of savoring the fat infested food. Kurt simply rolled his eyes and told his father that would be his fat limit for the entire week, he watched his father fake having an attack at the table.

After dinner Rachel reappears with a box for Noah; she won't tell anyone what is in it since it is a surprise. She takes it downstairs and leaves it beside his bed. When everyone asks her what it is she simply tells them they will have to wait and see, that she wanted Noah to see and know what it is first.

Burt knows what it is or at least he thinks he does. He remembers her taking pictures of Noah and Beth together; she even took one of him holding Beth. Burt looks around the room and smiles at the kids playing Monopoly. He laughs out loud when he hears that the Ditz is winning. I may have to think of a new name for her, he muses to himself. Burt walks back into the kitchen when everyone gets quiet; kids being quiet are never a good thing.

Noah is standing in the doorway of the basement with the box Rachel had left beside the bed. He was smiling, "thanks Rachel." Noah sits down beside Kurt and asks who would like to see pictures of his daughter? His beaming smile is contagious to everyone but Kurt. There is a chorus of "I do's" around the table. Mercedes tells him, "we will look at the pictures after you eat something" as she puts a bowl of salad and a small plate of tater tots down in front of him; she grabs a tot before sitting back down.

Sam declares Britt the winner and begins to put the game away. The others help in putting the game back in the box, no one notices the subtle changes in Kurt his body language telling a different story than his facial expressions. The way his body is stiff and slightly turned away from Noah, the small peck on the cheek and the way he just really doesn't touch Noah intimately.

Kurt smiles a less than true smile at Noah and encourages him to eat since he cooked dinner for everyone. Kurt knows that the feelings inside of him are dangerous to his relationship with Noah but he can't seem to squash the feelings of jealousy when it comes to others spending time with his boyfriend. He knows he should be happy that Noah and Beth spent time together but it was time taken away from him. Kurt keeps the small somewhat fake smile on his face.

Noah finishes his salad and tots starts talking about his visit with Beth and Shelby. The older teen never stops smiling as he flips through the picture album. Each of the pictures taken by were absolutely beautiful, even though Noah's handsome face was marred by the multi colored bruises. There was one picture that Rachel had blown up and put in a frame for Noah, Beth had her tiny hands on her father's face the look of pure love between father and daughter was evident for anyone to see. On both their faces were soft smiles and their matching dark hazel eyes of brown and green speaking volumes in the picture.

He tells everyone about how Shelby is going allow him to be a part of Beth's life and how she took care of him when they had to go to the ER. "The lady is a total badass! She had everyone doing what she wanted without being nasty or rude about it." Noah smiled at the memory of Shelby taking charge and the way Pop just stepped back and let her.

Noah watches Kurt look at the photos and not really say anything. No comments about the dress Beth is wearing or the cute way her hair is up in pigtails. He notices the same small smile stays plastered on Kurt's lips never changing or getting moving.

After everyone has oohed and ahhhed for several minutes over the pictures; Noah asks Kurt to go outside with him and sit out on the deck. He knows something is wrong with his boyfriend. When Kurt agrees; they both head out the back door leaving the others to wonder what is going on between them.

"What's wrong babe? You haven't really said anything to me since I came upstairs." Noah asks the younger teen as he sits down in one of the lawn chairs.

"Why would anything be wrong?" Kurt looks at his manicured nails picking at the well maintained cuticles. He knows that he is being bitchy but he just can't help himself. "You went to ER and didn't even bother to call me so what could be wrong?"

"You're mad because I had to go the ER? Everything is fine I just needed a couple of stitches. I picked Beth up she wanted me to carry her and I couldn't say no to her. The doctor told me to wait a few more days before I tried to pick her up again." Noah hopes that Kurt is really listening to him.

"Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you let me know that you were in the ER? I would have driven to the ER to be with you." Kurt looks at Noah his face stern and void of emotion.

"I honestly didn't think about it. I was worried about Shelby taking Beth back home. I wasn't ready for them to leave when Rachel saw the blood on my pants. Shelby is the one that said I needed to go to the ER that I needed some stitches. I kept telling them I was fine but Shelby insisted I go and that she and Pop would go with me. Everything else happened kind of fast. I just didn't want my daughter to leave yet. I wanted to spend more time with her." Noah's eyes are pleading with Kurt for understanding.

"You could have hurt yourself worse Noah! I think you need to wait a while before you see her again. You can't risk your health for a child that you don't even know! She will still be there when you have completely healed Noah!" Kurt lashes out at Noah instead of telling him what is really bothering him.

"I can't believe that you of all people would say that to me! I walked away from Beth once and I am not going to do it again Kurt! You have no idea how good it felt to hold Beth to be around my little girl to hear her laugh and to call me No-No! Shelby was nice to me too and wants to get to know me. She has even offered to let me spend weekends with them!

I am not giving her up again! I'm sorry if you don't or can't understand that!" Noah yells at Kurt. He can't believe that Kurt wants him to walk away from his daughter to stop seeing her until he is well. Noah runs a sore hand through his stripe of dark hair letting out a frustrated growl.

Kurt watches the anger flash across Noah's face but instead of backing down it seems to ignite Kurt's own anger more. "I am not going to stand by while you hurt yourself more Noah. I will talk to Shelby myself and explain to her that you need more time to heal. I'm sure she will understand that we need more time to adjust and for the cuts to heal." I have to stop him!

"I don't need you to speak for me! I'm not an invalid! I know better than anyone else that I am broken! But you don't have the right to tell me to stay away from my daughter or to tell her mother to keep her away from me! I need her Kurt!" Noah is trying not to lose his temper but it is getting harder to control.

"So you are choosing to inflict more hurt and pain on yourself? You're choosing Beth over what I want? What I need from you?" Kurt's fists are clenched at his sides, the blunt nails digging into his palms. Please you have to do this for me!

"I am not choosing anyone over anyone! I need both of you in my life! I love you both!" Noah sees the answer is not what Kurt wants to hear from him. "You want me to choose don't you? You want me to tell you that I will always choose you over everyone else! I can't do that Kurt! SHE. IS . MY. DAUGHTER!" Noah can't believe the realization that just him.

"Well I guess I just got my answer!" Kurt huffs at Noah his face a hard mask.

"No Kurt you didn't get the answer you wanted and I can't give you the one that you want. I love you Kurt and I know that you love me, but we have no idea if we are going to still be together a year or five years from now." Noah holds his hand up stopping Kurt from interrupting him.

"I know that Beth is going to be a part of the rest of my life. I wanted to share my happiness with you; showing you the pictures and telling you about the time I spent with her. You chose to get mad at me for not calling you because I had to get a couple of stitches and you got mad because someone else was there for me. Shelby wants to be a part of my life she wants Beth to be a part of my life and I can't let that chance slip away from me.

I don't want to lose you Kurt and I am not going to be the one that says this relationship is over. I love you and I need you, but I need these other people in my life too. Since my Dad left I have never felt like I belonged anywhere or with anyone, then you came along and made me realize that someone did want me in their life. I made friends in New Directions, Pop calls me son, and now my daughter and her mother want me in their lives; I feel like I have a real family now. Don't ask me to give everything up because you're jealous or being insecure." Noah looks at Kurt with determination in his dark hazel eyes. He reaches his large hand out to Kurt hoping the soprano will take it.

Kurt felt every word hit him like a punch. He knew what Noah said was true, he was being a selfish brat but he didn't want to lose Noah to anyone. I have to think, I have to make this work! Kurt steps back away from Noah before he speaks.

"I am going to stay at Mercedes tonight. We need time apart so that we can decide what is really important to us. I need time to figure out what I want. I will call you tomorrow." With those words spoken Kurt turns and walks back into the house.

Kurt looks at everyone sitting around the table, "I guess you all heard the discussion we just had so all of you know that I am going to Mercedes house tonight please do not try and stop me." He heads for the basement door when his father stops him.

"I am going to stop you Kurt! You are not going anywhere!" The ball cap comes completely off of Burt's head to rest in his hands. It is being twisted unmercifully in the mechanics hands. "You are going to sit in this chair until I get back from checking on Noah. I can't believe what I just heard come out of your mouth at that young man outside. Once I get back inside you and I are going downstairs to have a talk and for you to be punished, do you understand?" Burt slides an empty chair at Kurt, the words spoken by Burt hold more steel than a high rise building.

Kurt opens his mouth to speak but one glare from his father shuts his mouth and any smart comment is trapped inside. He sits in the chair his father slid in front of him and glares at the backdoor when Burt walks out to check on Noah. The other kids look everywhere but at him. He wonders why everyone is upset with him and not Noah.

Burt finds Noah standing out on the deck his hands resting on the railing. He can tell the dark teen is upset by the set of his shoulders.

"Noah I.." Burt is cut off my Noah.

"It's alright Pop; I can go stay with Rabbi Simmons. I.." Noah is cut off by Burt holding his hand up quieting the jock.

"Son you are not going anywhere and neither is Kurt. I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for what he said to you. He had no right to say those things to you. And I also wanted to say how proud I am of you." Burt gently puts a hand on Noah's shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Why are you proud of me Pop?"

"Because you stood up to Kurt and you didn't let him control you. A man should never have to chose someone over their own child it just isn't right." Burt looks at Noah for minute letting it sink in to Noah that he did the right thing.

"Now I am going to take Kurt downstairs and punish him for being such a selfish brat. He is losing his cell phone, the Navigator, and the use of my credit cards. He needs to grow up some especially if this relationship between the two of you is going to work out. I need for you to respect how I punish him. Can you do that Noah?" Burt looks at Noah straight in the eye waiting for an answer.

"Yes sir I can do that. What he said to me hurt Pop; I shouldn't have to choose just one person. I want both of them in my life but if I have to choose, I will always choose my daughter over anyone else." Noah looks at Burt for understanding.

"Noah, you would lose the respect that you have earned from me if you didn't choose your own child. A true father puts his children above everything and everyone else." Burt pulls Noah into a hug. "You are getting stronger everyday Noah and you are becoming the person you need to be. I am extremely proud of you son."

"Thanks Pop!" Noah returns the hug with as much love as he is being shown.

"I'm going back in now to handle Kurt if there is anything left of him. Mercedes was threatening to stomp a mud hole into his ass and Tina was threatening something about balls and earrings or ear muffs. I am taking Kurt downstairs to talk/punish him so give me a few minutes before you come down." Burt squeezes his shoulder before walking towards the door.

"I think I am going to stay out here for a while. I'll be in later. And thanks Pop." Noah starts to step off the deck as Burt opens the backdoor. He walks around the backyard lost in thought and doesn't know that he is being followed by Mike until the dancer speaks to him.

"Need some company or do you want to be alone?" Mike asks falling into step with Noah.

"You're fine man. I'm just thinking about some stuff." Noah offers his friend a small smile. Their friendship had always taken a backseat to his friendship with Finn. He couldn't really remember the last time the two of them just hung out together. Am I really that messed up that I let my friends walk away?

"Do you remember when we were in the sixth grade and you put that garden snake in Britt's lunch box? And she surprised everyone by playing with it until the teacher saw it." Mike looks at Noah hoping to see a real smile on his lips.

"Yeah; Ms. Jernigan went screaming down the halls about the giant snake attacking Brittany. And Brittany was running behind her with the snake trying to show her it was just a baby! That was epic even if I did get one of the worst whippings in my life. She could really swing that paddle!" Noah is truly laughing at the memory. He looks at Mike. "Thanks man, I needed that."

Mike nods at him and puts his arm around Noah's shoulders as they continue to walk. The silence is comfortable and soothing to both boys. They venture down the driveway to the street eventually walking around the entire block laughing and talking about the things they used to do together. Mike tells him of their shopping trip to the mall with Tina and how it was Burt's idea. Noah smiles thinking about how nice it would be to have clothes that didn't come second hand to him.

Burt walked back inside the kitchen to find Mercedes talking lowly to Kurt with Rachel and Brittany standing on each side of her. Sam and Artie against the kitchen counter both young men shaking their heads at Kurt who was ignoring everyone.

Burt walks over to the basement door, "Ladies excuse me but it is time for Kurt to be punished by me. Kurt let's go." He waits for Kurt to stand and stalk over to the door leading down stairs. He gestures for Kurt to go first and he follows him down.

The kids head outside to the backyard.

Burt looks Kurt over when they reach the bottom of the stairs and sees the set look on his face. The mask in place of 'I don't care what you have to say, I'm right and that is all that matters'. Burt just wants to scream at Kurt how wrong he is but instead he opts for more drastic measures.

"What you said to Noah outside…I only have one thing to say to you before I hand out your punishments. I never gave you away and I never let anyone put me in a position to try and force me to chose them over you. The way you tried to manipulate Noah is unacceptable and your punishment…" Burt squares his shoulders looking his son directly in the eyes.

"Number one, where is your wallet?"

Kurt points over to the vanity.

"You have lost the use of my credit cards until further notice. Hand them here, all of them." Burt holds his hand out waiting for Kurt to hand them to him. Once the cards are in his hand he continues.

"Number two. Where are your keys?"

"What? You're taking away my baby?" Kurt all but screams at his father as he walks back to his vanity and grabs his keys. No! no!

"Yes. At least until school starts back and then you only are allowed to drive to school and back home. You will not be allowed to drive it anywhere else." Burt takes the keys from Kurt's hand.

"This is totally not fair!" Kurt's eyes begin the waterworks; but Burt isn't budging in his decisions. This can't be happening!

"Number three. Hand your cell phone over. You can have it back when school starts next week, maybe. I know you need it in case something goes wrong but right now I am taking it." Burt watches as his son's face turns completely dark red with fury.

Kurt hands his cell phone over. Not my cellphone! Kurt watches in horror as his phone begins to vibrate in his father's hand and the older Hummel answers it.

"Hello?"

So did you tell the other cocksucker to stay away from the baby? Did you tell him if he doesn't then something bad could happen to her, even in Columbus?

"Who the hell is this?" Burt is shaken up by the threat against Beth. How the hell did they even know about Beth?

What's it like having like a fag for a son? How does it feel knowing your son likes it up the ass? He and the Kike should be dead!

"No it's people like you, you son of a bitch, that needs to be dead! You terrorize young boys and you threaten a baby! What kind of man does that make you?" Burt is yelling into the phone.

Better watch it old man or we will be after YOU! Keep the dirty Jew fag away from the little girl! Or someone is going to get hurt!

The call ends and Burt is staring at both the phone in his hand and his young son standing in front of him. The rage he feels inside of him burning like a fire through his veins. "You need to tell me exactly what the hell is going on Kurt!" Burt asks his son.

"It started this morning Dad! I wasn't going to tell you because of your heart! I thought I could handle it on my own! If I could just get Noah to stay away from Beth for a little while maybe all this would go away! I'm sorry I said all those things to Noah! I didn't want to but they threatened to kill Noah and Beth! I can't lose Noah Dad!" Kurt breaks down in sobs as his father wraps his arms him.

"Kurt, don't ever keep something like this from me! You are too young to handle this by yourself! I am going to call the cops and let them handle it." Burt keeps one arm around Kurt dials the police department.

"Yes, this is Burt Hummel I need to speak with Detective Donovan it's an emergency!" Burt waits as they transfer his call. After several minutes talking with the detective Burt ends the call. He turns to ask his son to do something that is going to break his heart.

"Kurt, the detective wants us to act like nothing has changed since we got that last phone call. So I need you to act like you are really mad at Noah that you meant all the things you said to him. Donovan wants you to make whoever this is to believe that you are trying to keep Noah away from Beth. He thinks they will show themselves is they think they are winning, become over confident and brag to the wrong person. Can you do that?"

Kurt hates what his father is asking of him but he will do it if it means the bastards are caught. He nods his head and then buries it back in Burt's chest.

"I know this is going to be hard but maybe it will be over soon. Just act like I chewed your ass, grounding you, taking your baby and phone away. Okay?" Burt feels Kurt nod against his chest. "I am going back upstairs and wait for Donovan. He is going to bring your other phone the one they took into evidence and swap it for this one. They need the times and the memory thing to try and trace the calls. I will bring the other one down to you after he leaves. I love you Kurt." Burt hugs his son tighter and then walks back upstairs.

Kurt hears his bedroom door open and watches as Mercedes and Tina descent the stairs, both girls have murderous looks on their faces.

"GO AWAY! I AM SO NOT IN THE MOOD TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME!" Kurt yells at the girls. He knows he has to play the part!

"I don't care what kind of mood you're in Kurt! I really don't! You are going to listen to what we have to say!" Mercedes snaps back at him in full Diva mode. "Sit up Kurt and look at us!"

Kurt sits up on the bed and then decides to stand up. He wraps his arms around his chest and places his 'bitch please' mask in place.

"What the hell is wrong with you Kurt? You tried to manipulate Noah! Have you lost your mind?" Tina all but screams at him her small delicate hands gesturing in the air.

"I did not try to manipulate Noah! I only want what is best for him! He's still too weak! Too fragile!" Kurt juts his chin out. "He needs more time to get over what happened to him!"

"No white boy! What he needs; he got today! BETH! He missed a whole year of her life thanks to Quinn!" Mercedes shouts at Kurt. "AND YOU JUST TRIED TO MAKE HIM WALK AWAY FROM HER AGAIN!"

"It's for his own good! He had to get stitches because he picked her up!" Kurt is exasperated that no one understands that it is for Noah's own good.

"Stitches aren't shit compared to what will happen to Noah if you make him choose. It would destroy him to give Beth up. He has a chance to be a father to her. He has a chance to get his life together and you pull this insane SHIT!" Tina is shaking with rage; she heard what Kurt said to Noah on the porch. "How can you jealous of a baby?"

"I'm not jealous of Beth! That's ridiculous!" Kurt exclaims.

"YES YOU ARE KURT!" Mercedes steps closer to Kurt her fists balled up at her sides. "YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE NOAH IF YOU MAKE HIM CHOOSE! AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR OWN FAULT!"

"HE'S MY BOYFIREND!" Kurt screams at the girls. "HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN THAT? I NEED HIM TOO! I FINALLY HAVE SOMEONE TO CALL MY OWN!"

"NO! NO ONE HAS FORGOTTEN THAT KURT! BUT YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT HE NEEDS ALL OF US! NOT JUST YOU!" Tina takes a deep breath because she knows what she is about to say is only going to make things worse. "HE NEEDS BETH MORE THAN HE NEEDS ANYONE! SHE IS HIS DAUGHTER! AND YOU WANT HIM TO GIVE HER UP TO CHOSE YOU! YOU ARE A SELFISH ASS KURT!"

"YOUR DAD NEVER CHOSE ANYONE OVER YOUR KURT! HE MADE SURE IT WAS OKAY WITH YOU IF HE MARRIED CAROL! SO WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHY NOAH WILL ALWAYS CHOSE BETH OVER ANYONE INCLUDING YOU? WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT YOU SAID TO NOAH WAS WRONG?" Mercedes wants to punch her best friend to knock some sense into his addled mind.

"MY FATHER IS THE STRONGEST MAN I KNOW! HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT WE ARE! HE ISN'T GAY! HE WASN'T BEATEN ALMOST TO DEATH!" Kurt is to the point of tears. His anger is building up inside. "I ALWAYS CAME FIRST! NO MATTER WHAT; I CAME FIRST!"

"Did you hear what you just said Kurt?" Tina looks at Kurt she still cannot feel any sympathy for Kurt. "You just said YOU CAME FIRST TO YOUR FATHER! So why is it any different with Noah and Beth?"

"He doesn't know her and she doesn't know him!"

"Yes she does Kurt! Even your Dad said that she knew Noah!" Tina walks away.

"Kurt I saw the pictures just like you did! The love is there between them. Just like you and Papa Burt! She loves her No-No and I have never seen Noah smile like he did tonight talking about his daughter! He wanted you to share in that with him but you had to be the Diva tonight! Oh trust me Kurt I could call you much worse right now! But I know you love him but you got to let go and let that boy be a man! You really need to think about what all this Kurt! I mean really think about it!" Mercedes starts to walk towards the stairs going back upstairs. Tina follows her up the steps; neither girl looking back at Kurt. They leave Kurt fuming in his room.

Kurt has a mini melt down as he kicks the bed and throws punches into his pillows. He wants to scream that he has always come first with his father and now he is putting Noah first in his life. He finally goes to take a shower and curls up under the covers of his bed; the music from his IPOD ear buds is his escape from the nightmare he created tonight. He feigns sleep when Noah comes down later. When he hears Noah's steps going back upstairs he opens his eyes again.

The rest of the night is spent with the Noah and the rest of the Gleeks upstairs with Burt watching old horror movies. Everyone makes fun of the old scary movies as not being that scary. Even the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is laughed at by everyone except Brittany who knows Leatherface is going to try and steal her pretty skin. Close to midnight everyone heads to bed.
