A/N - Apologies for the long delay on a new chapter of this, but with so many stories on the go at the moment; and also new ideas forever popping into my head, well it's hard to write everything that I want to.
So this chapter is really starting to set up what, if you have read the other stories on here; particularly 'Irreconcilable Differences', then you know what will eventually happen with this one.
As always all characters you recognize from Glee, don't belong to me - but any you do not know from the show, are mine and cannot be used without my permission.

Thanks for reading,
love always,

Chapter 14:

With Marley having gone to South Carolina for a two weeks, when Mikki had her baby; for Blaine it was the first real test of being that of the actual music teacher; and coming upstairs from the room downstairs that they used as a sort of office for both of them, and where he also too had his keyboard set up, walked into the living area where Hannah was sitting on the sofa and looking at something on her computer.
"Sorry about not being up here much tonight" he said, as he walked over to where she was at sat next to her on the sofa. "But I had the most awesome of ideas, and just had to try and see if it would work"

"No, it's completely fine, monkey" replied Hannah, looking to him with a smile. "I just like seeing you this happy and loving what you're doing"

"Yeah, I am loving it" said Blaine with a nod. "And I know it's still Marley's job and all; but I can't help but also wonder what it would be to be the actual head music teacher"

"It could definitely happen soon" said Hannah as she gave a small nod; and Blaine looked to her with a laugh.

"And what makes you think that?" he asked, as Hannah gave him a small smile.

"Just pictures here on Facebook she is posting whilst in South Carolina" she replied, and Blaine gave a small nod. "Makes me think maybe she and Ryder might soon have a baby, because she is certainly loving the fact that her sister has one now, and I would say getting very, almost clucky about having her own"

"Umm, yeah" said Blaine, as he looked to what Hannah up on her screen, and saw, what was a picture of Marley, holding that of her two week old niece in her arms. "That baby is kind of ugly" he laughed, and Hannah looked to him hitting him lightly on the arm.

"That's a horrible thing to say" she said, shaking her head at him. "All babies are cute, even if you don't happen to like that of the person who they belong too"

"Yeah" replied Blaine, with a small sigh, and looked again at the photo on the screen. "I guess you're right, it's kind of cute"

"She is, yeah" said Hannah, with a nod and looked at the screen again. "And there's one that will totally convince you that even more" she continued as she scrolled down on Marley's profile where they was another picture that Mikki had posted and tagged Marley in, with a '2 weeks old' sign next to the little girl, and the photo captioned above saying, 'Time goes too quick, but loving the little onesie that Aunty Leesy bought her. Love my Millie Moo, too precious for even words'

"Okay, yeah, I guess that is a kind of cute photo" said Blaine, with a nod and then looked to Hannah. "You're not getting clucky here too are you?" he asked, with a smile and Hannah looked to him with a laugh.

"I can think a baby is cute, without wanting my own" she replied, with a smile as Blaine gave a nod. "But that's not to say that I don't want one, one day" she said, as Blaine looked to her with a small smile also; and she closed up her laptop and placed it on to the coffee table, and then placed her arm around her boyfriends' shoulder and leaned against it. "So tell me about this idea you had"

"Umm, yeah okay" he replied, still taking back by the fact that Hannah had implied that she would want children one day, and wondered possibly if that meant with him; before he told her of the idea that he'd come up with for the music classes that he was currently relief teaching whilst Marley was away.

With Marley returning, and her loving the ideas that he'd come up with during her time away; she let him still run that idea through it's progression, seeing also the students loved it as well. All whilst noticing too that when Marley returned, and showing Hannah yet even more photos that she had taken of her niece whilst there, that he could imagine maybe one day maybe having that with his girlfriend, of now almost a year.

Heading around to Puck's on a Saturday, to spend some time with his own nieces, whilst Hannah went to an art class that she would partake in on that day at the local community center, he smiled as he helped Penny along with that of Alyson for a project that the youngest one was working on for school.

"What you thinking Uncle Blaine?" asked Alyson, looking to him with a smile. "You look like you're away with the fairies, as dad says to me"

"Hmm, just thinking really" he replied and looked to his niece with a smile also. "But maybe could I ask you a question?" he asked, looking to both his of his nieces. "And have you keep what I ask you a secret too"

"I'm a good secret keeper" said Penny, looking to him with a nod and Alyson looked to her younger sister and shook her head.

"You are not" she said, as Penny looked to her rebutting "Yes I am" as Alyson still shook her head, replying "You told dad that I was the one to get the paint on his favorite pairs of jeans"

"Well you were" replied Penny, with a nod. "And I wasn't going to lie to him"

"Okay, well you keeping this quiet" said Blaine, looking to the two girls and hoping to get them to stop arguing with one another. "It will be just like a really cool secret that you share with me, that no one else knows"

"Okay, what's the secret?" asked Alyson, looking to him and Blaine let out a breath as he looked to her then Penny with a small smile.

"Well like I said, first" he replied. "It's more I want to ask you all what you think of something, or more so rather someone" he continued. "Because I know you kind of did imply something a while back about someone, and thought maybe you might think that now"

"I'm confused" said Penny, as Alyson looked to younger sister with a nod. "I have no idea what you're talking about?"

"Okay" replied Blaine, with a small sigh. "You remember when I started going out way back with Mikki" he continued, and Alyson nodded whilst Penny shook her head, and he looked to her with a small smile. "You were maybe just a little too young to remember that" he said, with a nod to her and then looked to them both with a small laugh. "But you Aly" he said, looking to his niece. "Asked if we were getting married?"

"Yeah, I think so" replied Alyson, with a nod. "Do you want to marry Mikki?" she asked, looking to her uncle with a confused look on her face. "I thought she married that other guy back where she was from"

"She has married him, yeah" said Blaine, with a small nod. "But see what I was maybe wondering is" he continued. "Is what do you think of my maybe one day marrying Hannah, and her becoming your aunt; much like Aunt Peyton is because she married Uncle Cooper"

"I'd like that" said Penny, with a nod and Blaine looked over to his youngest niece with a smile. "I like Hannah, she's a good drawer"

"Hmm, she is" replied Blaine, with a nod and then looked to Alyson. "And Aly, what about you?" he asked. "What do you think of maybe Hannah, being Aunt Hannah?"

"I'd be okay with that" she said, looking to her uncle and giving him a smile. "Would that mean then she and you would have a baby?"

"Probably, yeah" replied Blaine, with a smile also. "And you girls will babysit, right?"

"Will you pay us?" asked Penny, and Blaine looked to his youngest niece with a laugh.

"Pay you?" he asked, shaking his head. "I'd like to think if you were to babysit it would be done out of love for your cousin" he continued, with a small laugh and smile to her. "Not because you're getting paid for it"

"Well yeah of course, we'd love them" replied Penny, with a nod. "But money is good too"

"Yeah, we'll just see okay" said Blaine, with a smile and continued to help the two of them with the school project that they were doing; knowing that if things were to progress how he might be thinking they would with Hannah, that he at least had the approval of two of his nieces.

Taking a trip out to visit Cooper and Peyton in Los Angeles, after they'd invited them to come for the weekend; Blaine and Cooper were left at home with Damon and also Colton, whilst the two girls Meaghan and Rhiannon, went on a shopping adventure as Peyton called it with Hannah.

"So you know I was got a call from Aly the other week" said Cooper, looking to his younger brother; with the two boys inside playing a video game, whilst they both sat outside talking. "And she said something rather interesting to me"

"Hmm, yeah what about?" asked Blaine, with a laugh and Cooper looked to him with a smile.

"Apparently you were saying something about Hannah, being Aunt Hannah?" he asked, and Blaine looked to him his eyes widening, and realizing also that his niece had failed to keep what they spoke of quiet and also wonder who else she'd told. "Something you want to maybe share with me, Squirt?"

"Umm, yeah" replied Blaine, giving a small laugh. "Can't believe the little blabber mouth told you" he continued as Cooper gave a laugh also.

"Please she's definitely Quinn's daughter" he said, with a smile. "She also too could not keep a secret"

"Yeah, I remember" replied Blaine, with a nod; and looked to Cooper with a smile. "And, I kind of maybe wanted the girls opinion on what they would think about Hannah maybe possibly becoming their aunt" he continued, as Cooper gave a nod. "That's it really"

"There has to be more to it than that" said Cooper, giving a laugh, as Blaine looked to him. "You'd be thinking this for a reason" he continued, as Blaine gave a small nod, and Cooper smiled. "Okay, yeah so, what's the reason then that made you think of this?"

"You know how I said the a few weeks ago that I was doing the main role of music teacher, since Marley went to see her sister" said Blaine, and Cooper gave a nod looking to his younger brother with a small smile.

"To see the devil ex girlfriend" he said, as Blaine gave a small laugh.

"Yeah" he replied, with a small nod also. "Well when she was there Marley was posting photos of her niece, and Hannah seemed to maybe, I don't know; drop hints about babies"

"And you asked what you asked Aly" said Cooper, looking to him with a small nod. "Because you're maybe thinking that you might to want that as well"

"Yeah, I mean it's not wrong to think that she might want that one day" replied Blaine, with a small smile. "Or even that I would either" he continued as Cooper gave a small smile also. "It's not like I was ever anti kids. I just never thought I'd get that chance"

"Because you use to be such a man whore?" asked Cooper, giving a laugh and Blaine glared at his older brother. "How you know you haven't already got any?" he asked, and Blaine looked to him. "Some of your one night stands"

"Please, please do not say that" he said shaking his head. "That would destroy everything with Hannah, if that were to be true"

"Squirt" replied Cooper giving a laugh. "I'm kidding" he continued. "I'm assuming you were always safe with these women, that you were with"

"I was yeah" replied Blaine, giving a nod. "Just don't freak me out like that"

"Sorry" said Cooper, with a smile to his younger brother. "But in all seriousness" he continued. "I think Hannah is an amazing girl, and it's clear that you both really love one another and care for each other"

"Yeah, she's amazing" replied Blaine, with a smile also. "I definitely wasn't looking for something when I met her, because all that happened before then" he continued as Cooper nodded. "But I just feel as if she was the person who I was supposed to meet and fall in love with"

"Hmm, well if you need help with getting a certain something for her" said Cooper, with a nod and Blaine looked to him. "You know where I am"

"Thanks" replied Blaine, with a small laugh; and the two of them continued to talk until the girls got home from their shopping trip together.

Having spent the weekend, at Blaine's brothers and then heading home to San Francisco; at lunch time, Hannah headed into the staff room, going first to the fridge to grab what she bought with her and then headed over to where Marley was sitting and looking at her phone and smiling.

"Let me guess" she said, with a laugh as she sat down. "More pictures of your niece?"

"Yeah" replied Marley, looking up to her with a nod. "She's just too precious" she continued, and showed the picture she was currently looking at.

"Which aunt and uncle is that referring to?" asked Hannah, with a laugh as Marley laughed also.

"Apparently little gift from Jeremy and Karen" replied Marley, shaking her head in response to the onesie that Amelia had on in the photo that said 'Be jealous I have the best Aunt and Uncle' "Although I wish to debate him on that one"

"That's one of your sister's husbands brothers and his wife?" asked Hannah, as Marley nodded.

"Yeah, Jeremy is known at the crazy one of that family" said replied, with a laugh; and Hannah gave a laugh also. "I just wish I was closer though to them all"

"Seeing photos just isn't the same is it" said Hannah, with a smile and Marley looked to her shaking her head.

"So how was the trip to see Blaine's family?" asked Marley, as she put her phone down and continued to eat the lunch in front of her.

"It was really great" she replied with a nod, and Marley looked to her with a smile. "Peyton, is really nice; as are Blaine's nieces" she continued, as Marley gave a nod. "And also as well, I think Blaine really liked being able to spend time with his brother too"

"Hmm, I get that bit" said Marley, with a smile to her. "Although I don't really get to see Ryder's sister often, since she lives in Arizona and it's a bit of a drive" she continued, as Hannah nodded. "And of course all my siblings are now back over in South Carolina, so don't really get to see them often now either"

"Yeah, I'd hate that" replied Hannah, with a nod. "Being that far away from all of my family"

"It definitely sucks, that's for sure" said Marley, with small smile as her phone pinged and she picked it up and gave a laugh. "Okay, yeah whatever you reckon"

"Whatever who reckons?" asked Hannah, as Marley looked to her with a smile.

"Just Jeremy, he replied to my comment on that photo" she laughed, shaking her head. "And said he's is always going to be the coolest uncle, no uncertainty about it"

"Well he can be the coolest uncle" said Hannah, giving a laugh. "Doesn't mean you can't be the coolest auntie"

"That is true" replied Marley, with a nod. "The cool auntie who will always spoil when goes to visit"

"Definitely" said Hannah, with a smile as Blaine walked over to the table.

"What are you two laughing about here?" he asked, as he sat down at the table, and Hannah passed a roll over to him, which had also been in the bag that she'd gotten out from the fridge.

"Oh, just how Marley's going to be cool aunt who gets to spoil her niece" replied Hannah, looking to him with a smile, and Blaine gave a small nod. "Much like you get to with your nieces and nephews in LA, that you don't get to see all the time"

"Hmm, yeah that is one of the perks of being an uncle" he replied with a smile. "Get to spoil them and parents can't say a word about it" he continued, with a laugh. "Because it's like a given"

"It is" replied Marley, with a small smile. "So umm, about those lessons that you came up with for the grade nine and tens"

"Yeah, what about them?" asked Blaine, looking to her with a small smile as he took a bite of the roll that he'd bought for lunch.

"Do you think you'd be able to maybe expand further on it for the older grades?" she asked, as Blaine looked to her, surprised by what he was hearing. "I think it would be really great for them, and you know so much more about music composition than I do"

"I can do something, yeah" replied Blaine, looking to Marley, with a small nod and smile. "Thank you, so much"

"It's no problem, really" said Marley, with a small smile of her own. "I kind of figure, I mightn't always be here" she continued, with a small laugh. "And I do think that the students are really growing to love you"

"Yeah, thanks" said Blaine, with a smile also to the other woman, who at one point he thought he would never have any kind of relationship with due to her connection to his now ex girlfriend. "I never actually thought I would enjoy what I am doing, as much as I am" he continued as Marley, gave a small nod. "But got to say, I am loving it"

"I'm glad" replied Marley, with a smile and nod; and the three of them continued to talk, before they had to get back to teaching, not knowing how maybe one day soon; how things would change and it would really be for all the better for all of them.

End Note: Clearly it's obvious I am setting up for Blaine to propose to Hannah; and I have actually come up now with a way that I haven't used before in order for him to do this, and really actually love the whole concept of it.
So do keep an eye out for that chapter - hopefully fingers crossed soon - just with so many stories and also two more conventions coming up as well; time is of a rare thing!

Catch you all soon on the flip side.

Love always
