A/N I fell asleep very early last night after a very stressful day. Amend that, stressful week. The kids at school have been insane, fighting, screaming, spitting on each other. One kid assaulted another with a stick, then attacked the cop when they arrived! I ended up having an anxiety attack before work yesterday.

Anyway, the word for yesterday was Speed, and the theme was Wishes. Time for some Burt! I'll try and get the next chapter up later today.

Reviews would be appreciated!

A Father's Devotion

Burt swore as the after hours emergency pager went off, signaling a call for a tow truck. He'd closed the shop earlier than usual so he'd get home in plenty of time to eat dinner and get comfy before Kurt's movie premiered.

He checked the message service. Thankfully the call wasn't too far away. He kissed Carole on the cheek on his way out the door.

"I'll be back as soon as I can, but if I miss the beginning, record it for me!"

…

He pulled up to the location about ten minutes later to find a gentleman in a nice suit standing next to a very nice Audi, it's back end stuck in a ditch, and the axle cracked. There was a police car parked nearby.

"Oh, thank goodness you made it here so quickly! I was in a hurry to get home, but not in as much of a hurry as the idiot who cut me off and sent me into a spin! He was definitely speeding!"

Burt smiled at him. "You weren't hurt?"

The other man shook his head. "Thankfully not, but my wife and son are going to be mad if I don't get home on time! It's a very big night for my son!"

"What a coincidence! It's a big night for my son, too. Let's see if we can get this taken care of quick!"

As Burt set about getting the chains and equipment set up, the other man continued speaking. "My son and I have recently reconciled after not being on the best of terms for the last five years, and I'm really trying to be a better father to him."

Burt nodded as he worked the gears to pull the disabled car from the ditch. "We parents often make mistakes. It's good you realized that and are trying to make up for whatever caused your estrangement. So, what's so special about tonight?"

"Oh! My son is starring in his first made for TV movie that premieres tonight! It's the first Hallmark Christmas movie with a gay couple!"

"You're Blaine's dad?"

The other man looked confused, until he finally noticed the name on the truck. "You're Burt? Blaine has told me a lot about you! I want to thank you for being there for him while I got my head on straight."

Burt just shook his head. "I'm just glad you worked things out with him. Blaine is a good kid. I wouldn't have let him marry my son if he wasn't."

The other man, Thomas Anderson, looked a little ashamed. "I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to see that. Kurt has been such a great influence on him. Your son is an amazing young man."

"That he is, but he is going to be pissed as hell if I miss his movie premier." He finished securing the car. "Let's get this back to the shop and get you a loaner so we can get home to watch our boys make history!"
