Hazah! I have another update for you. Now this is officially the longest chapter I have ever written. When I printed it out, it was 13 pages! Wow! Ok, I want to thank a special reviewer who asked me to go more in depth in the last chapter. So this is what I did. Thank you very much for the advice and review, Anna Duval-Sterling. If you didn't suggest what you did, I don't think this chapter would have come out as good as it did. Thank you again so much and to everyone who is reading this and continues to read it and who give me great reviews. Please keep them coming along with the followers and favorites. Thanks so much. I'll see you next time. Enjoy! Oh, before I forget, I do not own the song I used in here nor do I own the characters. Thanks.
As the party was dying down, Kurt and Blaine went up to Elizabeth and Lily. They were sitting at a booth talking to Quinn, Santana, and Brittany.
"Are you girls ready to get going?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. Klaine's almost finished eating and he's going to need to go to sleep soon anyways." Elizabeth replied, as she readjusted her blanket that was covering Klaine up.
Kurt looked over at the three former cherrios. "How long are you in town for?" he asked.
"We're all staying until after New Year's." Quinn replied.
"That's great." said Blaine. "It's really great to see everyone again."
"I know, we haven't had this big of a get together in so long." Kurt added.
Carole came over then came over to the booth. "Kurt, Blaine, I hope you don't mind, but I thought you could have all of your friends over tomorrow for a barbecue."
"Oh, that's a great idea Carole." Kurt replied.
"Ok, I think we're ready to go dad." Elizabeth chimed in. "Klaine's all done. And he's getting tired. It's past his bedtime."
"Ok, we'll get going then." Kurt replied.
"Hey everyone!" Blaine shouted, to get everyone's attention and they all turned towards him.
"We'd like to invite everyone over to my house for a barbecue tomorrow afternoon." Kurt announced. He looked over at Carole and whispered. "What time should they come over?"
"Around 12:00 is fine." Carole said.
"We'll see you all around 12:00 tomorrow." Kurt finished, and everyone cheered.
Kurt and Blaine then looked at Lily and Elizabeth. "Ok, let's go." Kurt said.
"Hey Blaine!" someone shouted.
Blaine turned around, and saw his old Warbler friends, Trent, Wes, Nick, Jeff, and David.
"Hey guys. Sorry we can't stay longer, but we'll see you tomorrow afternoon right?" he reminded.
"Yeah, but we wanted to ask you something." said Wes. "We wanted to know if you wanted to come with us to Dalton. Show your kids where you met Kurt." he suggested.
"Well, Kurt and I already went there this afternoon, but I'm sure the girls would really enjoy it." Blaine admitted.
"And maybe to an impromptu song?" David teased.
Blaine laughed, "We'll see."
"Ok. How about we meet you there at around 10:00 tomorrow morning?" Nick suggested.
"Sounds good." Blaine said. "But we really need to get going."
"Ok, see you tomorrow then." Trent said.
Blaine waved goodbye, and he went out to the car to meet his family.
"Guess what Kurt? The guys from Dalton invited us to go back to Dalton. They want us to bring the girls and show them around. You know, show them where we met." Blaine started.
"Oh can we dad?" Lily and Elizabeth asked in unison.
Kurt turned around and looked at his daughters and smiled. "Sure we can. It'll be nice to recreate how we met." he admitted.
"Yes!" they cheered. Kurt then started the car and drove back to the house.
The next morning, everyone got up early so they could go to Dalton. Carole and Burt were also up early. They needed to get things for the barbecue. Once they were all ready they went in their separate cars and headed out to start their day and would return in a few hours for the party.
Once Blaine had pulled the car up to Dalton Academy, the girls looked around in awe.
"Wow! You guys actually went here?" Lily asked, surprised.
Blaine smiled at Kurt, and took his hand. "Yep. This is were we first met." Blaine replied.
"Come on. Let's show you where we actually met." Kurt stated.
They all got out of the car and walked inside.
"Papa, did you always go here?" Elizabeth asked.
"I started in my sophomore year and left to be with your dad at McKinley my junior year." Blaine started.
"He said he couldn't stand to be away from the person he loved." Kurt added, as he looked lovingly in Blaine's eyes.
"Aww. That's so sweet." Elizabeth stated.
They walked over to the spiral staircase.
"And this is where we met for the first time." Kurt revealed.
He walked do the stairs, and stop towards the bottom. "Blaine, come here. I want to show them the exact spot where we met." Kurt beckoned. Blaine just rolled his eyes and went down the staircase and stood in front of Kurt.
"Oh, I remember you telling us about this." Elizabeth said excitedly.
"You were supposed to be spying for the New Directions glee club." she started. "And as you were walking down you asked papa what was going on."
"That's right." Blaine replied. "He told me he was new here, and I introduced myself, and told him about the Warblers."
"And he told me he knew a shortcut, so he took my hand and we ran into down the hall into another room and that's where he started to sing the song that changed our lives." Kurt finished, still looking lovingly into Blaine's eyes.
"And a few weeks after that Kurt transferred here." they heard a voice say. It was Nick and the rest of the former Warblers walking down the hall.
"Hey guys." Blaine said, hugging each of them.
"Can we see where you guys usually performed?" Elizabeth asked.
"Sure, follow us." said Jeff, and he led them down a hallway. They stopped at the end and opened one of giant wooden doors. "Here is where most of the Warbler performances happened." declared Nick.
"And wasn't Wes the one that controlled the gavel?" Elizabeth teased.
Wes blushed.
"Yes he was. Now that I think about it, you probably still have that gavel somewhere, don't you Wes?" Blaine teased.
"Ha ha. I'd like to let you know, that once I graduated, I passed it on to a new head Warbler." Wes admitted.
"Well that's good." Kurt stated.
"So Blaine, what about that song you promised us?" Trent insisted.
"I didn't say I'd sing." Blaine admitted.
"Ok come Blaine. Let's sing together." Kurt insisted. "We can sing a duet for the Elizabeth and Lily. I'm sure Klaine would enjoy it too." he begged.
Blaine sighed. "Ok. What song should we sing?"
Kurt jumped up and down, clapping his hands.
"How about the song you sang at Regionals?" Lily suggested.
"Which one? Candles?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah that one." Lily confirmed.
"Is that ok with you Kurt?" Blaine asked.
"I'd love to." Kurt replied.
Kurt and Blaine walked to the front of the room. They looked at each other then at their audience. This was the first time since they were in the Warblers together that they were going to sing this song.
The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Lost sight, couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Been black and blue before
There's no need to explain I am not the jaded kind
Playback's such a waste
You're invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight, couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
One day you will wake up
With nothing but your sorrys
And someday you will get back
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Everyone started clapping. "That was great!" Elizabeth praised.
"That really was great." said Wes.
Klaine started to make a little noise in Elizabeth's arms. "I think Klaine liked it too." Elizabeth smiled.
Blaine looked at his watch. "Oh, hey. We better get going. We don't want to be late to the barbecue."
"Ya. We should get home to help out my dad and Carole. I don't want them doing everything by themselves." Kurt admitted.
"Ok, we'll meet you guys there." said Jeff.
They said they're goodbyes and went out to the car and headed home.
Once they returned home, they saw that there were a few cars parked on the street.
"Who's here?" Elizabeth asked, as she lifted the baby carrier out of the car.
"I don't know. Let's go inside and see." said Blaine.
They made their way into the house and saw that Sam, Mercedes, Marley, Jake, Ryder, Kitty were already there and their kids were playing out back.
"Hey guys!" said Sam, walking up to Blaine and giving him a hug.
"How was Dalton?" he asked.
"It was a lot of fun." Elizabeth answered.
"Yeah, dad and papa even sang the song they sang when they were in the Warblers together at Regionals!" Lily confessed.
"Really? Which song was that?" Jake asked, he Marley, Ryder and Kitty hadn't met them until Blaine's senior year at McKinley, but they had heard all the stories about them competing against each other at sectionals and regionals.
"It was Candles." Kurt replied.
"It was so cute when they sang it at Regionals." Mercedes confessed.
"It was cute when they sang it now." Lily admitted.
Blaine and Kurt laughed.
"Lily, the other kids are playing out in the backyard if you want to join them." Marley suggested.
Lily nodded and ran out of the room to join her friends.
"You're welcome to join them too Elizabeth." Blaine insisted, but she just shook her head.
"It's ok. I have to feed Klaine anyway." she said sadly, and carried the carrier upstairs.
"Is everything ok?" Marley asked.
"I think she might feel out of place with the other kids." Kurt guessed.
"I don't know why she should. I mean she's still part of the generation from the Glee Club's kids." Mercedes reminded.
"Yeah, but she's 16 and a new mom, so she might feel a bit left out." Blaine pointed out. Everyone nodded.
They all chatted for a while before the rest of the of the former New Directions and Warblers showed up.
"Kurt. Can you come out here please and help you're father with the grill?" Carole shouted from the other side of the house.
"Coming." Kurt shouted back.
Ding dong
Blaine got up to answer the door. "You go help your dad and I'll get the door." he said, kissing Kurt quickly on the cheek.
Blaine went to open the door and when he did his eyes went wide.
"Mr. Shue? Mrs. Pillsbury? Wh-what are you doing here?" he stuttered.
"Well, I went to Burt's tire shop and he told me that you guys were coming down for a visit. He thought that you and the rest of the glee club would like a surprise visit from your old glee club teacher and guidance counselor." Will explained, squeezing Emma's shoulder lightly.
"Oh my gosh." Blaine said excitedly, pulling Mr. Shue into a hug. "It's so good to see you. Both of you."
"It's good to see you too Blaine." Emma replied. "And this is our daughter, Abby." she introduced.
Blaine bent down and said hello to the little girl. "Hello Abby. My name's Blaine. Would you like to go play out back with the rest of the kids?" he suggested.
She looked up to her parents for approval and the smiled and nodded.
Abby looked back to Blaine and nodded.
"Well come on in. Everyone's going to be so excited to see you guys." Blaine exclaimed.
Will, Emma, and Abby walked in and Blaine closed the front door.
"Abby, if you want you can through the kitchen and go out to the back and play." Blaine instructed. Abby just nodded and walked off.
"Guys, look who's here." Blaine announced. Everyone in the living room was amazed to see who had come in the house.
"Hey Mr. Shue. Hey Mrs. Pillsbury." they all said happily.
They all had a chance to hug their former teacher and counselor.
Kurt walked back in the living room to see who everyone was talking to. "Oh my gosh! Mr. Shue! Mrs. Pillsbury." he exclaimed.
He quickly hugged both of them. "What are you doing here?"
"Your dad invited us." Will replied.
"Is that your little girl that just ran out there?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. That's Abby." Emma replied.
"She's cute." Kurt stated.
"She can be a little shy at first, but once you get to know here, she's a non-stop chatterbox." Will admitted.
"Sounds like most of our kids." Sam added.
"Where's everybody else?" Will asked.
"Oh they should be here soon." Kurt answered.
Pretty soon the Hummel-Hudson house was full of former members of both glee clubs. Everyone was enjoying themselves, talking, eating, and taking pictures. After a while, Blaine looked around and didn't see any sign of Elizabeth. He walked over to Kurt.
"Hey Kurt. Have you seen Elizabeth?" he asked.
"Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her since we came home." Kurt admitted.
"I better go and find her." Blaine stated and started back inside. Quinn stopped him. "Why don't you let me go and talk to her." she suggested. "I mean I did have a baby when I was her age. She might have some questions."
Blaine hesitated. "I don't know Quinn. I mean I know you were pregnant in high school, but you placed your baby up for adoption. Lizzie didn't."
"I know. But we may have more in common than you think." she stated, and walked past Blaine, back into the house.
Quinn made her way upstairs. It was hard to figure out which room Elizabeth was in. It was the only room with the door closed.
"Elizabeth. Can I come in?" Quinn asked.
She didn't get a response. She opened the door slightly. "Elizabeth?" she repeated. She saw her lying on the bed with Klaine sleeping on her chest. Quinn couldn't help but smile. She quietly closed the door and went back outside. She went up to Blaine.
"She's fine. She's just sleeping." Quinn admitted.
"What about Klaine?" Blaine asked.
"He's sleeping on her chest. So cute." Quinn added.
"Thanks Quinn." said Blaine.
"You're welcome." she smiled.
The party continued and everyone was still enjoying themselves. The adults chatted and the kids enjoyed themselves by running around each other and behind the adults legs. All the adults enjoyed seeing their children having so much fun.
Meanwhile, up in Elizabeth's room, Klaine started to wake up from his nap.
"Mmm." Elizabeth moaned. "Are you hungry? Or do you need a changing?" she asked sleepily.
Klaine continued to whimper. She felt his diaper. "Oh yeah. You need a changing." she declared, and she lifted him off of her chest, and sat up slowly so not to get dizzy. She looked at the clock on the bedside table.
"Wow. We must have been really tired." she exclaimed. "Let's get you changed and then we can go downstairs and see who's here." she cooed.
Elizabeth quickly changed Klaine's diaper and carried him downstairs. She didn't see anyone in the living room, so she went out to the backyard.
"Hey sleepy head." exclaimed Blaine, once she came outside.
"Hey. Is there still some food left? I'm starving." Elizabeth exclaimed.
"There sure is." Burt stated. What would you like? Hamburger, hot dog, or chicken?"
"Um...the burger looks good." she answered, and handed Klaine over to Carole, who was standing with open arms.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Carole asked.
"Yes thank you. We must have been more tired than I thought." Elizabeth replied, taking the plate of food from Burt.
She took her plate and went over to the table where there was different chips, veggies and fruit. She placed a little bit of everything on her plate and then went to sit down.
"Hey, you must be Elizabeth." said Will.
"Yeah I am." she nodded.
"I'm Will or as your dads know me, Mr. Shuester or Shue for short. I was your dads glee club teacher." he introduced himself.
"Oh, they've told me a lot about you. Nice to meet you." said Elizabeth.
"I heard you have a new baby." he started.
"Yeah. His name's Klaine Dalton. I named him after my dads and where they met." she smiled.
"That's a great name." Will admitted. "My wife Emma and I have a little girl, Abby."
Elizabeth just nodded, because her mouth was full.
"She's right over there in the pink and white dress." he said, pointing over to his daughter, who was by a tree.
"She's cute." Elizabeth said, after swallowing a piece of hamburger. "Is she an only child?" she asked.
Will laughed. "Yes she's an only child."
"Sorry. I shouldn't of asked." Elizabeth tried to apologize. "It's just I thought that most of my dads' friends have more then one child. So I just thought you might have had another. I'm sorry."
Will just continued to laugh. "It's ok. Tell you the truth, I think they all think the same thing."
Elizabeth just smiled.
Will had gotten up to take care of Abby, who had tripped over a tree root and was crying. Elizabeth was finishing eating, when Quinn had come and sat down next to her.
"Hey Quinn." Elizabeth said.
"Hey Elizabeth. How are you?" Quinn asked.
"I'm good. You?" she asked.
"I'm doing great thanks." Quinn replied. "I just wanted to know how everything was going with you and your baby."
Elizabeth squinted her eyes in Quinn's direction. "Everything's fine. Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason. I just know that having a newborn is sometimes hard work." Quinn admitted.
"Thanks Quinn, but everything's going great. My dads try and help, but I don't like them too because he's my responsibility. But when I do need help, there always right there." Elizabeth explained.
"Good for you." Quinn stated.
"Not to sound rude or anything Quinn, but what do you want?" Elizabeth asked, as politely as she could.
"I just know that being 16 and pregnant is hard. I went through the same thing." Quin started.
"Yeah, but you gave up your baby for adoption and I didn't. And you don't know what happened to me while I was pregnant." Elizabeth explained coldly.
"Hey. What's going on here?" Puck asked, interrupting their conversation.
"Nothing. I actually need to go to the bathroom." Elizabeth admitted, and got up and went in the house.
Puck placed a hand on Quinn's shoulder. "Everything ok?" he asked her.
"Everything's fine." Quinn said quickly.
Elizabeth came back outside. She was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. Kurt saw her and walked up to her.
"Hey honey, is everything ok?" he asked.
"Yeah. Actually, I think I'm going to take Klaine inside now. He might be getting hungry and I should feed him then put him to bed." she declared.
"Ok, if that's what you need to do, then I won't stop you." Kurt admitted.
Elizabeth nodded. "Where is he?"
Kurt looked around the backyard. "Oh there he is. Your grandpa's holding him."
"Thanks." she said and walked over to Burt. "Hey grandpa." she said, leaning over his shoulder.
"Hey Lizzie." he replied.
"Can I have my baby back now? He might be getting hungry." she informed.
"Sure." Burt said, and handed his great-grandson over to Elizabeth.
"Are you going to bring him back out?" Burt asked.
"Actually he needs to get to sleep. He's a had a very busy day." she cooed to Klaine, who just stared up at her.
"Oh, ok." replied Burt, and kissed his head. "Good night buddy. I'll see you in the morning."
"Say bye everybody." Elizabeth cooed, and moved his arm to wave.
Everyone waved back as she took Klaine inside.
"So Kurt. Have you two decided when and where to go on your mini vacation?" Burt asked his son and son-in-law.
"We actually hadn't thought of it yet." Kurt admitted.
"Well, why don't we go somewhere after New Year's?" Blaine suggested.
"Why not on New Year's?" Carole suggested.
"What?" Kurt asked.
"I mean why don't you get a cabin up in the mountains on the 31st and then come back the next morning, or if you're really enjoying yourselves, spend another night up there." Carol insisted.
Blaine and Kurt looked at each other.
"It's up to you." Blaine said to Kurt.
"I mean, we usually like to spend New Year's with the girls. And it is Klaine's first New Year's." Kurt started.
"Which he will sleep through." Burt reminded.
"He's right Kurt." Blaine chimed in. "Why not? Why don't we go up to mountains for a couple of days?"
Kurt took in a deep breath. "Ok. Let's do it."
"Great!" Blaine said, kissing his husband.
Both of them couldn't wait for their mini vacation.
Hope you like this update as much as I did writing it. See you next time.
