Hi everyone!
Just want to thank you for all the lovely reviews and the follows!
Okay onto the chapter.
Chapter 3
Kurt pulled up to Burt and Carole's house and exited the car after his night shift on Monday. He smiled as he watched Teddy run down the pathway towards him "Daddy!"
Kurt chuckled and lifted the little boy "Hey Teddy Bear, did you have a good night?"
Teddy nodded "Yes Daddy, let's go home!"
Kurt chuckled and ruffled Teddy's hair putting I'm back down "Why don't you carry on watching Power Rangers, I just need to talk to Grandma."
Kurt walked into the kitchen and smiled at Carole still in her Pyjamas already handing him a cup of coffee "Thank you" He smiled kissing her cheek.
"Good shift?"
Kurt nodded "Yeah it was okay" he shrugged tapping his finger against the cup
"C'mon out with it" Carole smiled.
"What do you mean?" Kurt said snapping his head up to look at her.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Kurt rolled his eyes and chuckled "Well I was wondering if you could keep Teddy on Wednesday night?"
Carole nodded "Of course, picked up an extra shift?"
Kurt hesitates before shaking his head "Um no I, um I have a date" he mumbles but Carole still hears.
Carole smiles brightly and pulls him into a hug "oh my gosh how exciting! I'm so happy for you! What's his name? Does he work at the hospital?"
Kurt smiled "Calm down Carole, it's just one date, his name is Blaine and yes he is one of the paediatricians" Kurt shrugs looking at his feet.
"One date or not, you're getting yourself back out there!"
Kurt nodded feeling himself welling up "Am I doing the right thing? Am I being selfish?" Kurt asked her quietly.
"Oh Kurt" She said pulling him into a tight hug "Of course you aren't being selfish, you live your life for that little boy. It's time for you to find someone to live his life for you."
Kurt nodded "I just can't help but feel like it's too soon."
Carole shook her head "it's been nearly 4 years sweetheart; you can't carry on doing this alone."
Kurt took a deep breath and nodded again "okay, okay I can do it."
On Wednesday evening Kurt stood in front of his full-length mirror putting the last touches on his hair. He stared at his reflection and took a deep breath.
Teddy ran into the room in a white T shirt that reads Likes Boys. Kurt smiled, Teddy had stolen this t shirt from his wardrobe last year when he was sick and it was now his favourite.
"You look pretty Daddy" he smiled hugging Kurt's legs.
Kurt picked him up and balanced him on his hip "Thank you baby"
"Can I come to dinner with you?"
Kurt shook his head "unfortunately not baby, but you get to hang out with Grandpa and Grandma, I also think that Susie will be there" he said referring to Finn and his girlfriend Melissa's daughter.
"Yay Susie!" Teddy said wiggling his little hips in an excited dance.
Kurt chuckled and carried him through to the living room "Daddy? Are you coming back after dinner?"
"Of course I am."
"Who are you having dinner with?"
"Just someone from work sweetie" Kurt said making sure he had everything.
"Why can't I come?"
"Because you'll be bored teddy bear, we're going to talk about boring adult things"
"Okay" Teddy said shrugging "can we have pizza at Grandpas?"
Kurt smiled "I'm sure if you are very, very good that Grandma will order you pizza."
Kurt stood in front of the hospital waiting for Blaine to finish his shift. Kurt thought it would be better to meet at the hospital as he wasn't ready to share his and teddy's home yet.
"Kurt!" Blaine yelled from behind him, running out of the hospital tying his tie with a wide smile on his face "Sorry if you've been waiting a long time, you know what some of the night shift nurses can be like in briefing, especially without you to keep them in line" Blaine said with a wink.
Kurt looked down at his feet and chuckled "I'm sure they'll manage. You look great by the way" he said with a smile.
Blaine was gorgeous, he had dark curly hair that was starting to grey at the edges and the brightest, most expressive eyes Kurt had ever seen.
"Thank you, you look beautiful too, you ready to go?"
Kurt nodded and followed him to Blaine's car.
"So how was your shift today?" Kurt asked softly looking up at Blaine.
"It was alright, Jonathan Crowley got released today" Blaine said pulling his keys for his pocket.
"Oh, that's great" Kurt smiled reaching for the car door.
Blaine nodded and started to drive "So I know this little place that's owned by a friend of mine, that's where we're going is that okay?"
Kurt nodded "Yeah anything is fine" he said with a polite smile.
Blaine looked over and noticed Kurt fiddling with his seat belt "Are you nervous?"
Kurt looked over to him "um no? Why?" He said a bit too quickly
"I've noticed that you sort of like to keep your hands busy" Blaine said with a small smile.
Kurt turned read and let go of the seat belt and folded his hand in his lap "I um, it's a nervous twitch, I'm sorry."
Blaine chuckled "don't apologise, it's cute."
They pulled up to a small restaurant, Blaine jumped out of the car quickly and ran to open the door for Kurt.
As they walked Blaine placed his hand on the small of Kurt's back "this okay?"
Kurt looked up at him and nodded.
Inside the restaurant was a simple bistro with large booths, they were led to their table handed menus.
"Can I ask you something?" Kurt asked Blaine after deciding what he was going to eat.
Blaine looked up "of course."
"How old are you?"
Blaine chuckled "I'm 35."
Kurt nodded.
"Is that okay? How old are you?"
"I'm 28, you seem so much younger. Not that I think 35 is old!"
Blaine chuckled "Kurt it's okay, I guess I am a bit old."
They ordered their food, Blaine ordering two entrees for Kurt after he said there was two he wanted to try.
"So how did you end up at Lima memorial?" Kurt asked moving his straw around his soda.
"Well as you know I moved from New York; I was actually raised there. I worked at Mount Sinai, with my father as a boss." He said taking a sip of his beer "I just needed somewhere where I could stand on my own merit you know? So, when I heard Dr Allen was going to be retiring from here through my father, I applied and here I am."
Kurt nodded "Here you are" he said with a small smile.
"What about you? What's your story?" Blaine asked as their food arrived.
Kurt chuckled picking up his knife and fork "That's a long, sad story for another time."
Blaine smiled "So there is going to be another time?"
Kurt blushed with a small smile "Well I um, I hope so."
Blaine took his hand and squeezed it gently "Look Kurt, I really like you okay? I know there is something holding you back from opening up to me. If you don't want to tell me right now that's okay, but I want to keep seeing you. Nothing you say is going to scare me away."
Kurt looked down at their hands and back up to Blaine's face.
"I have a son."
