Kurt comes home from a short business trip to discover that his son has something very special to show him.

Notes: You may have noticed that, at the beginning of this series, Kurt was against them having a lock on their bedroom door, but that later on it's mentioned that they do, indeed, lock their bedroom door. This is how that happened xD

"Sebastian! Thomas! Guess who's ho-oh … goodness …"

Kurt comes to a stop a few feet inside his front door when his welcoming committee arrives – his sheepish husband, accompanied by his brightly smiling little boy and service dog, complete with new bling.

Well, new for the dog. Kurt has seen it many, many times.

Though, to be honest, this is one of the few times he's seen it with the lights on.

"Look, Papa! Look! Look what Daddy bought for Hepburn!" Thomas squeals, fanning his arms, directing his father's attention to the dog sitting obediently by his side.

Kurt parks his suitcase and crouches to give his son a hug, buying himself the time he needs to get his mind out of the gutter.

"Daddy bought that for Hepburn, you say?" Kurt reaches out a hand and fingers the dog's new acquisition – a black leather collar with silver studs and spikes, which Kurt has to admit looks stunning secured around the calm dog's neck.

"A-ha. Daddy said he picked it out special to make Hepburn look tough."

"Did he really?" Kurt musses his son's hair, then stands and gives his husband a hug. "That's funny," he whispers in Sebastian's ear. "Isn't that what you said when you bought it for me?"

"Yeah, um …" Sebastian chuckles "... sorry about that, but it was the first thing that came to mind."

"Ah." Kurt glances down at Thomas, tugging his patient friend over to the flat screen TV so he can show Hepburn his new 'tough-dog' image in the reflection. "Would you like to tell me how this happened?"

"Well …" Sebastian clears his throat "… remember how you said we shouldn't have a lock on our bedroom door?"

Kurt crosses his arms over his chest, unimpressed by how his husband always seems to find a way to toss him under the bus when they stumble into a child rearing hiccup. "Because of Thomas's nightmares. And if I recall, after the first couple of weeks, we both agreed."

"Okay, fine, but about that …" Sebastian takes his iPhone out of his pocket, opens the gallery app, and hands it to Kurt. The first photo displayed is of Thomas standing beside Hepburn, making scary wrestler faces and flexing for the camera. Regardless of the uncomfortable going on now, Kurt has to admit, it's a cute picture. He'll have to send it to his dad and Carole. They'd get a laugh over it.

"Keep going," Sebastian says when Kurt pauses too long. Kurt continues flipping, expecting to see more of the same, and he does, until he reaches a group of photos that Sebastian obviously took while Thomas wasn't looking. Sebastian must have snuck up on him and been standing in the door because Kurt can see their entire bedroom, decorated with hand drawn pictures that his son had made to welcome him home. But the picture that makes his jaw drop has Hepburn dressed not only in the collar, but another very familiar item – Kurt's leather studded harness - while Thomas busily decorates their bedroom with balloons.

Condom balloons.

"What the-?"

"Yeah," Sebastian says, taking his phone before Kurt can drop it. "I think it's time we reconsider getting a lock for our bedroom door."
