Hi Everyone!

Tina is finally gone, so it's time for the happy ending. There's only an epilogue left. Enjoy!

Although he was tired like hell, Kurt could barely sleep. First there was the pain, reminding him every time he made a small movement what he had gone through. The painkillers helped some but it still wasn't enough for a good sleep. And then there were the nightmares... horrible pictures of what they had gone through, nightmares of a possible future where Tina came back and took his family away from him. Pictures of blood and pain and oh, God, those scared eyes of Blaine...

Every time Kurt woke up, he found Blaine lying beside him, with his arms around him, asleep. Kurt had no idea how Blaine could sleep after such an eventful night. He was still so scared and couldn't wait to get up and see his son, to make sure that he was alright. Noel... he hadn't even seen him. But he had to, as soon as possible.

After giving Blaine some more time to rest, he placed a gentle hand onto the man's cheek and stroked him. Blaine slowly opened his eyes, disoriented at first, just like he was at home. Another horrible memory came back haunting him but Kurt pushed it to the back of his mind. It wasn't the time for that.

"I'm sorry" Blaine said as he sat up. "I didn't want to fall asleep..."

"It's fine" Kurt said quietly. "It was a long night for all of us."

"How are you feeling?" Blaine asked.

"Honestly?" Kurt asked, smiling. "Like crap."

"Does it hurt?" Blaine asked in concern.

"Yes, but I think I'm ready to stand up" Kurt said. "I want to see our son."

Blaine's face lit up and he quickly got out of the bed to help Kurt but he had to remind himself that he wasn't enough for that.

"So what now?" Blaine asked.

"I have no idea" Kurt smiled. "You should get a doctor or something."

"Yeah, you're right" Blaine nodded.

He walked to the door and opened it, peeking outside. It was in the middle of the day, there were a lot of people around them and he had no idea which one to ask to help them. So he grabbed the first nurse he could get and dragged her into Kurt's room. Kurt easily told her that he was ready to go to his son but the nurse shook her head, laughing.

"We will see about that" she said as she walked to the bed. "Let's try to sit up first."

"I'm fine" Kurt said but soon realised how right the nurse was. As he slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, the fresh cut on his abdomen was burning like hell and he had to press his lips together to stop his whines of pain.

"He did it" Blaine said proudly. "Now you only have to stand up and we can go."

Kurt sent his best icy glare towards his boyfriend.

"What?" Blaine asked.

"It's like being tortured with a hundred of knives" Kurt explained.

"Oh. That must hurt" Blaine muttered.

"Seriously?" Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Now stand up, slowly" the nurse said. "If you're ready, you can walk to the bathroom."

"I feel like a cripple" Kurt muttered as he grabbed Blaine's hands and got up to his feet.

"Slow steps, that's it, babe. Slow steps" Blaine said.

"Blaine, would you do me a favor?" Kurt asked.

"Yes?"

"Shut up, please" Kurt said.

"Okay" Blaine smirked.

Kurt felt like he could collapse at the bathroom's door but he forced out a small smile and turned to the nurse.

"Now can I finally see my son?" he asked.

"As you wish" the nurse nodded. "The end of the corridor."

"Can't he be here with us?" Blaine asked.

"He has to stay in the incubator for a while" the nurse answered. "But we can try that later when..."

"No!" Kurt said quickly. "I'm ready. I can do this."

"Tell me if you want to come back" Blaine said.

Kurt nodded, although he knew for sure that he wouldn't turn back without seeing his son. Knowing that he was all alone in a small plastic bed made him want to see his baby more than ever. He could do this. He could do anything to finally see his baby.

The corridor seemed so long as they took slow and small steps towards the other end of it. Kurt kept his eyes on the big door in front of him, focusing on the thought that their son was waiting for them inside. Just a few more steps...

"That's him" the nurse said. "We didn't know his name, so..."

"Noel" Kurt whispered.

"That's a beautiful name" the nurse smiled. "I will give you some time alone but then you have to go back to your room."

Kurt nodded but didn't look at her anymore. As they got closer to the incubator, he could finally see the little baby inside. God, he was so small and skinny... Kurt reached out towards the baby but pulled his hand back a second later, afraid that he would hurt him with the smallest touch.

"Here" Blaine said and grabbed a chair that was standing beside another incubator and helped Kurt sit down.

"Thank you" Kurt said, his eyes still on the baby. He couldn't tear his gaze away from him.

Blaine leaned down beside him and looked at the baby through the glass. Noel was asleep and his face was so peaceful... and he was smiling. He must have felt really well in there.

"He will be alright" Kurt said, mostly to himself. It was so scary to see his baby like this but he had to believe that they would be fine.

"He will be out of here soon" Blaine said quietly. "He's strong. Just like his father."

Kurt sighed sadly, remembering how scared he had been the previous night and how not strong he had been when his family had been in danger.

"I'm not strong" he said. "I failed you both last night."

"Kurt, we were both scared..."

"I was just standing there and did nothing" Kurt said. "She could have killed you. She could have killed all of us and I didn't..."

"Hey, look at me" Blaine said and forced Kurt to look at him, keeping a gentle but steady hand under his chin. "You were scared, I get it. But do you honestly think that others wouldn't have reacted the same way?"

"You stopped her" Kurt said.

"When Sebastian and the girls arrived" Blaine nodded. "But I didn't do anything until then. I was so worried about you and me that I couldn't do anything. I was paralyzed by fear."

"I just... I never thought something like this could happen to us" Kurt muttered. "Even if my life's been crazy since I'm with you, it was a lot more than I expected."

"I can always repeat the Yvonne-scandal" Blaine winked.

"Don't you dare" Kurt warned him.

"I'm just kidding" Blaine laughed.

"Can you see this? This is your father" Kurt said as he turned back to the baby. "You should get used it because he's really crazy."

"True" Blaine agreed. "But you love me like this."

"I just got stuck with you because of the baby" Kurt winked.

"That hurts" Blaine sighed dramatically, pressing a hand to his chest.

Kurt shook his head and turned back to the baby, feeling like he could stay here forever watching this beautiful baby boy, even if he was in pain and could barely sit.

"We should go back" Blaine said after a while when he saw how hard it was for Kurt to sit there.

"I don't want to" Kurt said.

"You have to rest" Blaine said. "Please. You have heal, so we can go home as soon as possible."

Kurt sighed sadly, his eyes still on the baby.

"This is so hard" he said.

"We will be back as soon as we can" Blaine said.

"You promise?" Kurt asked.

"Of course" Blaine nodded, smiling. "Come on, honey."

With another heavy sigh, Kurt let Blaine help him back to his feet. It seemed like it was a lot harder than the first time, he winced in pain and had to grab Blaine's arms to keep himself steady.

"You should definitely rest" Blaine said in concern.

"I know" Kurt said sadly. He wished he could stay with Noel for forever but sadly, he had to return to his own hospital bed. But as he and Blaine walked out of the room, he swore that he would be back as soon as possible. Their baby needed his fathers, especially now.

~ o ~

Kurt was soon released from the hospital but sadly, their baby had to stay for a few more days. It was the hardest time for both of them when they walked into the large room full of plastic cribs, went straight to their son and told him the bad news. Noel was asleep again, like almost every time they see him, so he didn't see his broken parents. Maybe it was the best this way. Kurt was told to stay strong around the baby and not show him how upset he was but as Blaine sneaked his arm around him, telling him that they should go, Kurt broke down and started to cry. He wanted to hold his baby in his arms, he wanted to keep him safe and wasn't ready to go. But he had to. He had to heal, too, and Noel needed time to rest, so he could leave the hospital soon and join their family.

By the time they got home, Blaine was in full panic mode. Kurt didn't understand why, until they walked into the living room and saw that Blaine had rearranged the furniture and nothing looked like before. He opened his mouth to ask Blaine why but he suddenly understood. The attack. Blaine must have felt awful in the living room where they almost had been killed and surely needed this to move on.

"Do you like it?" Blaine asked nervously.

"It's beautiful, Blaine" Kurt said.

"We don't have to stay here" Blaine said. "We-we can find another place where..."

"Blaine."

"I want you to feel safe" Blaine said.

"I know, honey, but running away isn't the solution" Kurt sighed. "There will always be people who can't accept us and will try to hurt us. We can't move every time."

"Are you sure you will be fine?" Blaine asked in concern.

"Yes" Kurt said confidently. "She can't hurt us anymore. We're safe here and honestly, this place's perfect for our family. I don't want to move again."

"Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable" Blaine said.

Kurt pressed his lips to Blaine's, determined to make him relax. It should have been the most beautiful time of their lives and he wouldn't let a crazy bitch ruin that.

~ o ~

He woke up to the voices coming from downstairs. Kurt frowned as he sat up, listening to the sounds. He needed a whole minute to remember that it must have been his father who had arrived a few days earlier, when he had found out about the birth of his grandson. Kurt's eyes widened. It meant that Blaine and his father were downstairs, all alone, and there was noone to stop them if the two men ended up in a fight which was highly possible, considering how unsure his father was about his relationship with Blaine. Kurt quickly got out of the bed and walked downstairs.

What he found there, surprised him more than anything. Burt and Blaine were sitting on the couch, watching the game together, having a real conversation, seemingly in a good mood. Now that was weird and Kurt started to worry. His boyfriend and father didn't get along well, they usually didn't even talk to each other and never had fun together.

"Is there something wrong?" Kurt asked as he walked into the room.

"Not at all, honey" Blaine smiled and moved a little closer to Burt, so Kurt could sit down beside him.

Kurt frowned. Yeah, there was definitely something wrong.

"You two seem a little.. weird" Kurt said.

"We're fine, Kurt. Stop worrying" Burt said easily.

"I thought you hated each other" Kurt said.

"What? No, of course not" Blaine said. "Your dad's pretty cool, actually."

Kurt raised an eyebrow as he turned to his father. Burt sighed and shook his head.

"We had a rough start but we're fine now" Burt said.

"I don't understand. How did you two turned into best friends so quickly?" Kurt asked.

"When I visited you in the hospital, Blaine and I had a serious conversation" Burt explained. "Honestly, I wasn't sure if he could take care of you and your son but I have to admit, I was wrong."

"I told him everything" Blaine said.

"And I was impressed" Burt said, smiling at Blaine. "He's a good guy, Kurt. You're lucky."

Kurt looked from one man to the other, unable to believe them. He had tried to help Burt accept Blaine after they had moved back to New York but the older man hadn't seemed to get closer to accepting Blaine at all. He had been angry with him and nothing could change that, not even when Kurt had told him how much he loved Blaine. So it was hard to believe that suddenly, everything changed, just like he had hoped.

"Okay" Kurt said slowly. "I'm not sure I understand a thing but I'm glad you two don't hate each other anymore."

"I never hated your father" Blaine said.

"I didn't hate you either" Burt said honestly. "I was worried about my son."

"I get it" Blaine said.

"I know" Burt smiled.

Kurt blinked, still not believing his eyes. It seemed like a dream.

~ o ~

Things just got more bizarre when three days later, they could finally bring their son home. Both Blaine and Kurt were glad to finally have their tiny baby boy in their arms and enjoy the peace of their home. Well, at least until the others arrived.

"Where's my beautiful nephew?" Rachel asked as she and Santana stepped inside, pushing Sebastian out of the way.

"Just after you" Sebastian muttered as he let the girls walk inside before him and then joined the crowd in the living room. "You know that he isn't really your nephew, right?"

"Kurt's like our family, so Noel is our family, too" Santana explained.

"Congrats, Blaine" Sebastian smirked. "You have two crazy sisters-in-law."

"Oh, you won't get off so easily either" Kurt smiled.

"Yeah, we have a very important role for you" Blaine nodded.

"Oh, no" Sebastian said. "No. I helped you a lot and it was great but it was enough for the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong, you're welcome if you want to spend some time with me but that's all."

"Are you sure?" Kurt asked as he gently handed Rachel the baby. "Because we wanted you to be Noel's godfather."

"I don't believe in God" Sebastian replied. "And if I'm correct, you don't believe in God either."

"Who said anything about God?" Blaine frowned.

"Everyone needs a godfather" Kurt explained. "You know... someone who drags him into trouble, spoils him... But I understand if you don't want it. It's a very serious job."

"And aunt Santana will gladly do it" Santana said as she pulled Noel out of Rachel's arms. "Right, sweetie? We will make such a good team."

"What? No" Sebastian said. "Absolutely not. You can't let this crazy chick mess with your kid. I will do it."

"Are you sure?" Kurt asked. "Because we wouldn't force you to..."

"Hey, I'm the godfather, okay?" Sebastian said. "It will be fine. Noel needs someone who teaches him for the most important things in his life. I will buy him his first beer, help him pick up his first boyfriend or girlfriend, depending on his choice, I will even give him the talk. I know that you two aren't really good in that."

"Should we thank him?" Blaine asked uncertainly.

"Definitely" Sebastian winked and then turned to Santana. "Now give me my godson."

"No" Santana said.

"Oh, come on. Just try to not be a bitch one time" Sebastian sighed.

"I'm not. I'm just defending Noel from you" Santana said.

The baby in her arms started crying and she pulled away slightly, looking at Kurt and Blaine in desperation, not knowing what to do.

"See? He hates you" Sebastian said and pulled the baby into his arms before Santana could react. "Hey, Noel! Don't cry, sweetheart. I'm Sebastian and you will so love me."

Probably because of the large smile on his face, Noel stopped crying and looked at Sebastian with huge, scared eyes.

"I think you should give him some space" Blaine said and took Noel from Sebastian's arms. It was definitely too much for his son.

"What are you talking about? He loves me" Sebastian said.

"He's scared of you" Santana muttered.

Kurt rubbed his forehead as their friends looked at each other, sending hateful glares in the other's direction.

Later that day, after a long conversation with their friends, feeding the baby and changing his diaper, Kurt let Noel fall asleep in his arms and then let the others hold him in their arms for another short time. Noel hated his crib, probably because of the long time he had spent in the hospital but he loved being in his parents' arms. And they soon found out that it was the same with their friends.

Kurt walked out of the room to get some fresh air and when he returned, he stopped at the door, enjoying the beautiful sight in front of him. Blaine was sitting in the armchair, half asleep. He hadn't had too much sleep since Noel's birth, so Kurt was surprised he hadn't fallen asleep earlier. Rachel was sitting beside him and she kept her eyes on Noel, sleeping peacefully in Santana's arms. Kurt smiled when he took in the sight of Sebastian and Santana sitting beside each other, singing a lullaby for the baby together. It was definitely weird but there was nothing that could surprise Kurt anymore. It seemed like the moment Noel had come into their life, he changed it into a safe, peaceful heaven, something they truly deserved. And if things remained this perfect, Kurt would be the happiest person of the world.

"Are you alright?"

Kurt turned around to find his father standing behind him. He had gone out to buy a few things for the baby and Kurt hadn't noticed him coming back.

"Perfectly" Kurt nodded and turned back. "Look at this. Isn't it beautiful?"

"What?" Burt asked as he stepped to his son.

"Everything" Kurt smiled. "You know, I had my concerns about my relationship with Blaine. There was a time when I wasn't sure we could be together again and that craziness with Tina was definitely too much. But as I look at them, I don't have any concerns left."

Kurt took a step forward to have a better look of Blaine. There was only one thing he could feel in that moment: love.

"I know that we will be fine" Kurt continued. "We have a beautiful son, we have our amazing family and friends here with us. What else could we want?"

He sighed happily, his eyes wandering at Noel.

"It was absolutely worth it."
