Chapter 38
"He looks so excited." Blaine smiled as he wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist. They were standing a few feet away from Devon who had his face pressed up against one of the exhibits at the museum. He had done this to every single piece they saw, standing for at least five minutes taking in every detail that Kurt, Blaine and the audio information stands had to tell him.
"I didn't think he would like it this much." Kurt answered truthfully.
"Same. I thought he would want to hurry to the games area and then the park." Blaine chuckled.
"He's been good. We should get him something from the gift store."
"Definitely. Maybe we can buy some space food and have a space picnic one day?"
"That sounds amazing." Kurt grinned. "Why don't you go and get that now? Put it in your bag so he can't see and when Mercedes is up, we can invite everyone?"
"Sounds like a plan." Blaine smiled and pecked Kurt's lips. "Meet you at the rocket."
"Meet you at the rocket." Kurt smiled and walked over to Devon.
"Can I go to space?" Devon asked, he was sitting in front of a life size statue of an astronaut in space.
"If you put your mind and heart to something then anything is possible." Kurt smiled sitting beside him.
"I wanna go on the moon." Devon nodded. "Because I like cheese."
"You do not like cheese. You say it's smelly." Kurt chuckled.
"I'd like cheese on the moon." Devon countered resting against Kurt. "Would you and daddy go space too?"
"We'd follow you all the way to the moon yes." Kurt smiled.
"Good." Devon giggled. Devon looked behind them and frowned. "Where's daddy?"
"Just popped to the toilet. We are going to meet him at the rocket. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes." Devon nodded and stood up. "Are we still going park?"
"If you want to." Kurt smiled.
"And shopping?" Devon beamed.
"If you want to." Kurt smiled jumping up beside him. Devon held out his hand for him and Kurt took it with a smile.
"I do." Devon smiled. "Let's go!"
Blaine stood at the rocket tapping his foot. He figured Devon had pulled Kurt to see another exhibit and couldn't feel angry at that. He just wished they would hurry up. His phone started to ring and Blaine pulled it out thinking it would be Kurt telling him where they were but it was Cooper.
"Hey man," Blaine answered.
"How can you sound so chipper?" Cooper's rough voice sounded from the other end.
"Well I know your hung over voice and that not it... Who pissed you off?"
"Mom and Dad." Cooper sighed. "They're here. And they want you and Kurt and Devon over for dinner tonight and they're not taking no for an answer,"
"What? They can't just..."
"I know. But the longer you put it off the more it will annoy them and you'll end up just psyching yourself out for no reason."
"I know but we are out today." Blaine sighed.
"I know but the sooner you come over with that bundle of noisy joy the sooner they will be out of my hair."
"We'll be over tonight. Probably about seven."
"Okay. Thanks baby bother. I can't wait to show Kurt the pictures from last night."
Sighing Blaine ended the call and looked up to see Devon and Kurt running over. "Devon wanted to watch the rocket launch. Again." Kurt smiled apologetically. "You okay?" He asked when he noticed the far away look in Blaine's eye.
"We are having dinner with my parents tonight. They ambushed Cooper and won't leave until they see us."
"Oh." Kurt sighed.
"The good thing is it's at Cooper's so we can leave if they say anything and we won't have to kick them out."
"The fact that you're thinking about having to walk out shows what tonight will bring." Kurt sighs. "But we will go. Devon will probably e exhausted but he is a kid so they can't judge that and if they even try to then I will be telling them where to go."
"That's my boy." Blaine smiled wrapping his arms around Kurt. "Whatever they say you know won't change us. I promise."
"Okay. Now little rocket man here wants to buy a rocket of his own."
"Okay." Blaine smiled. "Anything for my favourite space boy." Blaine grinned and picked Devon up making him cheer loudly.
By the time they had finished at the park it was almost four and Kurt could see Devon wouldn't make it to the shops and to dinner, so after half an hour of compromising that they could order special clothes from the Internet and get parcels to their house they finally made it home for Devon to have a nap.
"He's going to be addicted to Internet shopping by the time he's six." Blaine chuckled as he draped a cover around a sleeping Devon.
"I know." Kurt laughed. "But there are worse things to be addicted to."
"Mmmmm." Blaine grinned. He flopped down on the arm chair and pulled a smiling Kurt on top of him.
"You start work tomorrow." Kurt grinned running his hands through Blaine's unruly hair.
"I do." Blaine nodded with a smile.
"Are you excited?"
"And nervous. I know I'm going to love it though."
"And it's at a good school maybe Devon can go there next year and you two could go together,"
"That would be awesome." Blaine smiled.
"What happened at work the other day?" Blaine asked, his hands sliding up and down Kurt's sides.
"Well one of the designers is really pleased with what they are selling in the department store, and they are thinking of opening a new store. And we'll they wanted me to run it."
"Kurt that's amazing!" Blaine beamed kissing Kurt on the mouth. "What did you say?"
"I said I would talk to you. My hours would be pretty similar maybe a little more but it would be more money, and they even said they would look at my designs."
"We'll make it work. I really think you should take it." Blaine smiled.
"Okay. I will." Kurt nodded trying against him more. "They even said that I can work at home if I needed to go on a longer leave..."
"What do you mean? If it's the school holiday I will be off."
"Or any other leave. Like nine months or a year..." Kurt laughed, he smiled fondly when he remembered telling the manager that he was a male carrier and he would want to have that time off. He had grinned almost enviously and said he could take as much time off as needed.
"Oh!" Blaine giggled. "Then yes. Take it!" He grinned and kissed him again.
-x-
Blaine stood outside of Cooper's door, his foot tapping the floor awkwardly. Devon stood beside him and started to copy him, he had fallen asleep for two hours and Kurt knew he might not sleep that great tonight but at least he would be awake enough for Blaine's parents.
"Remember your manners okay?" Kurt smiled rubbing Devon's hair softly.
"Always do!" Devon grinned.
"I was talking to your dad." Kurt smiled kissing his cheek. Devon giggled looking up at him. "It's going to be okay, remember no matter what happens. We are staying us." Kurt said and squeezed Blaine's hand.
Nodding slowly, Blaine tapped on the door.
Cooper opened the door with a smile and Devon instantly launched himself at him. "Coops!"
"Hey you." Cooper grinned and spun him around. "I have been slaving over a hot stove for you all afternoon. You better be hungry mister."
"I am!" Devon grinned. "What we having?"
"Pasta and garlic bread." Cooper grinned.
"Oh." Devon sighed looking down.
"You don't like pasta and garlic bread?"
"You can't eat pasta in space." Devon pouted.
"It will fly everywhere and oh no it might even go in your daddy's hair!" Cooper gasped.
"I know." Devon sighed sadly.
"Well I have a special switch in my kitchen that means food doesn't fly..."
"Then I can have pasta!" Devon gasped.
"Yes. Do you want to switch it?"
"Yes." Devon nodded. "Let's go."
"First we have to say hello to Blaine's mommy and daddy," Kurt smiled.
"Okay." Devon shrugged. "I have my rocket?"
"Sure." Blaine smiled and grabbed the model he brought from the museum and handed it to Devon. "Come on let's go spaceman."
Blaine followed Cooper into the living room holding Devon in his arms. "Hey Mom, hey Dad."
His dad stood up first and embraced Blaine and Devon in a one arm hug, something that made Devon giggle. "Hello Son," he smiled at Blaine and then looked at Devon who was now hiding against Blaine's shoulder. "Hello Devon, I'm James. I'm your granddad."
"Like Grandpa Burt?" Devon whispered.
"Like Grandpa Burt but my dad." Blaine smiled rubbing his back.
"Oh. Hello." Devon whispered shyly.
"Hello," James smiled. "This is my wife Jane." He said, making his wife stand up.
"Hi Jane." Devon said smiling at her cutely.
"Call me Grandma, it's rude to address elders like that." She said but gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"He can call you what he likes. Carol is his grandma, that's her name from him. He will pick another for you and if its Jane then so be it." Kurt said picking Devon from Blaine's arm.
"Nicely said." Michael smiled and held his hand out to Kurt. "It's nice to meet you, Kurt."
"You too." Kurt nodded, his cheeks a little flush.
"Daddy can we find Coop?" Devon whispered.
"Sure thing kiddo." Kurt said, he looked at Blaine who was wearing the biggest grin and nodded.
"I'm coming I want to see the magical switch to make the food stop flying." Blaine grinned making Devon clap exitedly as they headed towards the kitchen.
"Well done." Blaine grinned. "I promise I was about to say something."
"I know." Kurt smiled and kissed his cheek.
The next twenty minutes passed with Devon telling Cooper everything about the museum, and Cooper telling light stories about their night out.
"Mind if I join?" James asked as he walked in, up until then he had been in the front room having hushed conversations with Jane.
"You can." Devon nodded and patted beside him. Smiling, James walked over and to Cooper and Blaine's surprise sat on the counter unit beside Devon who was sitting there holding onto Kurt tightly. "You like rockets?" Devon grinned and held his out for James to see.
"I love them." James grinned, his heart melting at his grandson.
"I do too." Devon smiled, making his rocket fly around. James grinned watching him, looking from Blaine and Kurt and back to Devon again.
For the next twenty minutes, the four men entertained Devon with tales of space and James even flew Devon around the room, which earned him a very special Devon kiss.
"I think dinner is ready." Cooper grinned proudly. "Devon would you like to set the table?"
"Okay Coopy." Devon grinned but looked up at Kurt unsure.
"I'll help you." Kurt smiled stroking Devon's cheek, he couldn't believe how good his son was being.
"Yay." Devon smiled. Cooper handed over the knives and forks and together Kurt and Devon set the table.
"He's a lovely boy, Blaine." His father smiled. "Kurt has done very well raising him and I know you will do just as good a job too."
"Thank you." Blaine smiled a little surprised. "I just wish Mom thought so too."
"She will, she just needs time."
"I know." Blaine sighs. "Maybe she will get to know him during dinner and everything will be better?"
"Maybe," his dad smile but he knew deep down it would take more than a dinner for everything to be okay.
