Chap 28

BLAINES POV

Well, she didn't say no. That's a start! The car ride home was enjoyable, singing along to the radio. Carole's so sweet, I almost wish she was my mom. Not almost, I do wish she was my mom.

We got to the driveway and grabbed our subs, and Carole stopped for a moment. "Are you alright?"

She paused, dropped her bags and gave me a big hug. I tried to return it, still holding the bags in my hand.

"I just know you're going to have an amazing time in Paris."
I backed up. "Wait, really?"
"Well no," she grabbed her bags "I still have to talk to Burt about it. But how could he say no?" I chuckled.

"You're a fantastic kid, Blaine. I'm really glad you and Kurt found each other." I kicked at some stones on the ground and blushed. "Me too."

"Alright! Let's feed the animals!"

I opened the door, and saw a contemplative Kurt, sitting on the couch, and a content Burt sitting to the left of him. I wondered what they were talking about.

"Food!" Finn cried out and leapt over the couch.
Kurt approached and took a bag from my hands.

"You alright?"
He smiled, and kissed me on the cheek. I was confused, but now wasn't the time, so I didn't ask.

We all gathered at the table and dove into our dinners. Man, was I hungry.

CAROLES POV

We chatted idly over supper, and I knew I had to get Burt away somehow. I wanted to ask about Paris immediately, so that Blaine could surprise Kurt tonight. I knew he would be so happy.

"So, on the way home the car was making some funny noises, weren't they Blaine?"

I winked at him. There was no way we could have heard funny noises, even if there were any. The music was way too loud, but thankfully, Blaine understood what I was doing.

"Yeah, like a weird clicking noise. I don't know, it was weird."

"Well." Burt stood up, brushing the crumbs off of his shirt. "I'm done eating, might as well fix up that car. Sounds like the brakes are shot, and I don't want you driving around with a car in that kind of condition."

They both got up and put on their coats. "I'll show you where it was, it was kind of like a creaking, no, a cracking. Something? Here… it's right…" and the door shut.

BLAINES POV

"Okay, what was that?" I should have known Kurt was too smart to fall for that. "There obviously wasn't any noise in the car." "Oh and you're so sure? You didn't hear it." "No, I heard the GaGa as the car approached the house. There's no way you heard anything over that."

"Wait, there were babies?" Finn interrupted, looking confused. "I'm so not ready for another brother, I just got one."

"Lady Gaga, Finn. Lady."

"Hehe, oh." He smiled and grabbed Carole's unfinished sub. He was such a doofus. A kind doofus.

Kurt rolled his eyes and we laughed.

"WHAT?"

Our eyes shot at the door, hearing Burt's protestation from outside, and Finn practically threw his mother's sub across the table, thinking he'd been caught.

So much for Paris.

"Okay, I've got to know what's going on." Kurt looked worried. I knew how close he was to his father.

"I wish I could tell you Kurt, but it's really nothing too serious, maybe he's just… excited?" God, I hoped so.

The door swung open and we looked away immediately, suddenly intrigued by our subs, Finn still staring at his mom and step-dad.

Who was… Smiling?

Burt slapped my back twice, "Blaine, buddy!" and opened his arms. I hugged him, more confused than I think I've ever been in my entire life.

"Blaine, would you like to inform the rest of the table of your plans?"

I grinned uncontrollably.

Paris.
