Lies, Secrets and My Brother
Tyler Smythe POV
I sat at the breakfast table with my sons, Sebastian and Gregory, wanting to make it a habit of being there for them more when I was in town and not working. I realised when I had found out that I had another son who was almost eighteen years old; how much I had really missed out in their lives.
I loved them both so much that I didn't want to be a lost presence in their lives. I remembered my own parents never being there for me, only having fond memories of my Nanny Geraldine looking after me, doing everything with me that she could.
I also wanted to tell them about their brother, wanting to see if they would be accepting as I hoped they would be.
"So what are you boys doing today?" I asked them, putting my paper down.
"I'm going to pick up Blaine and take him for a long drive up to see a singer that he likes" my son said to me father proudly.
"That sounds fantastic. When will I get to meet him?" I asked him with interest, taking a sip of my coffee.
"Soon Dad, real soon!" he smiled down at me, and put a mouth full of eggs in his mouth.
"I can't wait!" I told my son with pride, and then turned to my other son.
"How about you Greg?" I asked my youngest son.
"The boys and I will be racing dirt bikes later on, are you going to come Dad?" he asked with hope.
I smiled at my son, glad that he was also into dirt bikes, like I had at his age. I was into all kind of extreme sports and sports in general.
"I sure will son! Just text me the details and you can be sure of it!" he smiled back at me
"So are you still with that Beckford girl?" I asked him curiously, knowing exactly what I was like at their age.
He smiled at me sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well…" he wasn't sure what else to say to me, so I let him off the hook, changing the subject.
"What else are doing during the day?" I asked Gregory
"Tunning the bikes, making sure they are all ship shape to ride to night" he said proudly, he was definitely my kid alright, and I beamed with pride.
"Can you ole stuffy suit wearing Dad come?" Gregory looked at me for a moment, pretending to think about it.
"Hrmmm… I derno Dad… those suits are pretty stuffy…" he said jokingly, winking at Sebastian, who just laughed at us like usual.
They both knew that I hated wearing suits, and preferred to wear my jeans and a shirt any day.
"Yeah Dad… I'm glad you didn't offer to come with me…" Sebastian joked and I mock glared at him, before we all laughed our heads off.
I was so relieved that my sons were accepting of me, even though I disappointed them so many times…
"Well let's go Dad!" I beamed at him, and patted Sebastian on the chest
"See you later son! And please, please don't come home late again! You know I worry about you!" I said standing up, wiping my mouth and placing the napkin on my plate.
"Don't forget to make that boy of yours commit Seb!" I encouraged and with that I followed Greg out towards the garage.
I guess I can tell them about Finn another time… I thought quietly, looking back one last time at Sebastian climbing the stairs that would lead him to his bedroom.

Finn Hudson POV
"I never questioned anything" I said to her out of the blue, and she looked at me surprised.
I knew she had been disappointed in me the other night for not having spoken to her about what was happening to me.
She waited patiently for me to speak again.
"I just stood there… listening to them talking…" I said to her cryptically, knowing full well that she didn't have a clue what I was saying.
"And I threw the urn… arggg… I was so angry… and my Mom…" I felt so hurt that my own mother had been lying to me all these years. I would have understood right?
I looked at my girlfriend, seeing the calm on her face, wishing that I could do some kind of special mind link that would show her exactly how I was feeling and thinking.
I yelled to the sky as she looked at me, just watching to see what I would do next.
"Sorry Rach…" I said to her, coming to kneel in front of her, and burying my face in her lap, tears stream down my face now.
She just held me close to her, letting me cry out all the emotions that I didn't know how to express to her. I wasn't sure how long we had stayed like that, somehow we had moved to the bed, and she was still holding me tight, whispering words that I had no idea she was saying.
"I overheard my mother and father speaking at Sectionals" I stated to her, waiting for her to comprehend what I was saying to her.
"What were they talking about… wait… you said father…?" she looked at me shocked, as both her words and mine had registered in her mind.
"Yes… apparently my father is alive and well and living…" I told her, and she gaped at me, not sure she had heard me right.
"He didn't know about me… she kept it all a secret…" and she sat there looking at me, digesting everything that I was saying.
"And I came home one day, and I say my father's chairsand his urn…" I told her, letting her piece together what I was saying now with what I had said before.
"You threw the urn against the wall, and your mother came to inspect what had happened and you fled the house and came straight to me?" she summarized all that I had said to her, wanting me to confirm if she had the story right or not.
"I left the house in the morning…" I admitted to her sheepishly, letting her know that she had it all correct.
"I see…" she hugged me again, placing a kiss on my cheek.
"Well I am glad that you came to me" she said with pride, like she had won a prize or something.
"So do you know what your father's name is?" she asked me
"Tyler Smythe" I told her, so glad that I was able to hold her to me as I spoke about it.
"Smythe… where have I heard that last name from?" she asked me curiously, her mind contorting as she thought about it.
"OMG… Sebastian is a Smythe… you don't think?" she asked with shock.
Things were just getting better and better weren't they? I thought silently
"I seriously wouldn't be surprise right about now" I told her honestly, feeling so spent and tired, my eyes drifting closed, my world going black.
