A/N:I won't say anything of importance, since most of you are so anxious to hear what happened that you won't see this anyway

Enjoy :)

I tried texting Kurt a few times throughout the trip, but every time he responded with just a one or two word answer to say that everything was fine. Blaine's responses were generally a little longer, but basically said the same thing. No details were given, and neither of them mentioned a proposal or a ring. They were keeping us in suspense until they would return. The competition was Friday night, so they had Saturday to themselves. Saturday night I tried calling the boys. Not one of the three of them answered their phones. I wasn't that worried until I tried Finn and he didn't answer. I figured Kurt and Blaine would probably be out late celebrating. But Finn certainly wouldn't be with them.

An hour later, the phone finally rang. I picked it up after the first ring. I may have been anxiously awaiting a call.

"Hello, is this Burt?" I heard a voice ask. It wasn't one of my boys, but it wasn't the cops or the hospital either, because they would have used the last name. That was a bit of a relief. I know New York is better than Ohio, but there are still homophobes out there, and it did occur to me that Kurt and Blaine could encounter a problem. I grunted a yes, waiting to hear something about my boys.

"Hi Burt, its Will Schuester, from the McKinley glee club. I just wanted to let you know what was going on. I shouldn't have let the kids go off on their own. I'm really sorry. I didn't realize Kurt and Blaine would go and do that."

"Let me cut you off there. I already know. It's ok with us." I said, since he sounded really nervous having to call me. It wasn't that big of a deal, they were just getting engaged. It wasn't like they ran off and got married.

"You know? And you're ok with it? Well, congratulations I guess!" Schuester said. "But there's another small problem. I can't seem to locate Kurt or Blaine at the moment. Curfew was a little while ago and they aren't answering their phones. Finn and Mercedes told me that they were both ok, but that they weren't coming back to the room tonight. My best guess is that they got their own hotel room, but I have no idea where and none of the kids are talking." He finished, clearly a little nervous about having to tell me he lost my kids.

"Can you put Finn on the phone? He wasn't answering when I called him." I asked. This was probably my only chance to talk to one of them before they returned home. After a few minutes of hearing muffled talking in the background, I finally heard Finn on the phone.

"Hey Burt" Finn said.

"Finn, do you know where Kurt and Blaine are?" I asked him flat out.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop them. There was nothing I could say to change their minds." He said very quickly. Obviously a little nervous about telling me.

"That's ok Finn, I know about it. But do you know where they are now?" I asked him.

"They got their own hotel room to celebrate. They're at a different hotel nearby, but I don't know which one. They told me they'd meet us in the lobby to get the car to the airport. They're safe; Kurt let me know after they checked-in." He said.

"I guess that's ok." I said after a sigh. "I'll see you guys tomorrow then when I pick you up at the airport. Oh, how'd the competition go?"

"It was great. We got third place! In the country! And I didn't do anything stupid!" Finn said excited.

"That's great. Congratulations! We'll all go out to celebrate when you get home. See you tomorrow." I said before handing the phone off to Carol for her to say goodnight to Finn.

The next day we were waiting at the airport to pick the boys up. Their flight was delayed, so we had another half hour to wait. It wasn't worth driving home, so we decided to stop in the coffee shop at the airport and wait. I went up to get our drinks while Carol grabbed a table. Once I brought them over and sat down, Carol smiled, but looked a little sad.

"Can you believe last year at this time Blaine had just come to live with us?" She asked.

I was surprised that that didn't occur to me. By now it felt like Blaine was always a part of our family.

"Wow. I didn't think of it that way. Can you believe it's only been a year?"

"I know. It does feel like much longer. And now they're engaged!" She said, excited again. "I can't wait to help Kurt plan that wedding. He is quite the party planner. I can't imagine anything but an extravagant affair." She said with a smile. We talked for a little while longer about little things that really weren't that important. When we finally saw the board light up announcing that their plan had arrived we went over to the exit and saw a few other parents from the glee club. We waved hello and they all waved back, some with a sympathetic look on their faces. I'm guessing they heard about the engagement and thought we wouldn't be happy. A few of the girls came through the exit first. After hugging her parents, Mercedes came up to us. She gave us both a hug and then starting talking somewhat quickly.

"I just want to let you know that I tried to talk them out of it. They wouldn't listen to me, they were so insistent. I'm sorry I couldn't stop…" She got out before I could quickly stop her.

"Don't worry about it Mercedes. I know all about it. And I know there is no stopping them once the set their mind on something. But thanks for letting me know."

"No problem Mr. H. Congratulations!" She said before walking back to her parents.

Finn came out next, but there was still no sign of Kurt or Blaine. Finn ran over to us and gave us each a big hug.

"I'm really sorry I couldn't stop them. I tried. I even picked up Blaine and carried him outside. But they wouldn't listen to me. They still went off and got married." He said, clearly a little afraid that I was going to be mad.

"No Finn sweetie, they got engaged, not married." Carol said to him while patting his arm.

"I'm pretty sure that they got married." He said, sounding confused, as usual. "At least that's what I thought was happening when Mercedes and I had to sign a certificate at the court house."

All of a sudden the world was spinning very quickly and I had to grab onto Finn and Carol to keep from falling over. They led me over to a chair so I could sit down. I know I'm not a tiny guy, so it wouldn't be easy for Carol to hold me up, and honestly, my legs had stopped working. Could they have really gotten married without telling us? A few minutes later Kurt and Blaine came out, holding hands, with huge smiles on their faces. Their smiles fell a little when they saw us. When they got to where we were sitting, they just sort of stood there, waiting for someone to say something. Finally Carol stood up and pulled them both into a hug.

"Why don't we all go home so we can talk everything over?" Carol said in a cheery voice. We grabbed everyone's bags and went out to the car. The car ride home was very quiet. Once we arrived at the house, we went inside, everyone knowing that an important talk like this would have to be around the kitchen table, where most of our family meetings were held. All three boys sat staring at the table top. I didn't know what to say, so finally Carol got us started.

"So… married? Huh?" She said. Kurt and Blaine just sort of nodded their heads slowly.

"Sorry we didn't tell you. It was sort of a spur of the moment kind of thing." Blaine said slowly without making eye contact with anyone.

"Let's start at the beginning. What happened?" I asked.

"Well, the first few days of the trip were good, we made it to the top ten in the competition, then ended up placing third in the entire country. It was very exciting. That was all on Friday night. We had all day Saturday to ourselves, so we both had suggested a play and dinner. We saw an early showing of Wicked, which was amazing by the way, then went for a walk through Central Park. I guess we both had the same thing in mind and were both really nervous. I wasn't looking at Blaine when I got down on one knee and I saw he was doing the exact same thing!" Kurt said. "We couldn't believe we were proposing at the same time. I always knew we were meant to be together forever, but right then I knew I wanted forever to start right away. Besides, we were in New York City, one of the few places gay marriage was legal. It seemed like the perfect opportunity. So we called Finn and Mercedes and told them to meet us in Central Park, but we didn't tell them why, or they would tell Mr. Schue and he would ruin everything." Kurt finished, looking to Blaine with a smile, so he could tell the next part.

"Once Finn and Mercedes were there, we had our Best Man and Maid of Honor, so we headed over to the court house and filled out the paper work. They both tried to talk us out of it. Finn even trued to carry me outside, but a security guard stopped him. When we got back inside, Mercedes was basically wrestling with Kurt, trying to pin him down to a bench in the hallway. We finally told them we were doing this with or without them, and it would mean more to us if they were a part of it. They finally agreed, but reluctantly. After the ceremony, we went out to a fancy dinner and then decided to get our own hotel room for the night, since we were still supposed to be in separate rooms with the glee club. And then we came home… That's about it…" Blaine finished.

I wasn't quite sure how to react. I was angry that they would get married without having us there, or even telling us, but I was also very happy for them. They were meant to be together, and I could see that very clearly right now. I got up and walked over to them. I looked down at them for a minute with one eye brow raised. They both look a little nervous. Finally I grabbed both of them into a big bear hug. Carol started crying and ran over to join in the hug. I soon realized we were all crying. When the hug broke, Kurt spoke again.

"So you aren't mad at us?" He asked timidly.

"Of course I'm mad I wasn't at my sons' wedding. But I can see how happy you two are and I've lived long enough to know that yelling about something doesn't change anything. So I'm choosing to be happy for you. Maybe we can have a party here for friends and family that didn't get to be at the wedding. More like having a reception." I suggested. They were relieved that I wasn't going to stay mad and Kurt immediately got to work planning a party with Carol's help. Blaine relaxed a little into his chair and just sat and smiled at Kurt.

"So, is it Anderson-Hummel or Hummel- Anderson now?" I asked him. He snapped out of his daze and looked at me for a minute, trying to process the question.

"Actually, it's just Hummel. Kurt wanted to hyphenate it, but I don't really want any ties to my old life. Besides, I've been a Hummel for a while now, why not make it official?" He said with a huge grin. I was very excited to say the least.

"So what's next?" I asked him.

"Well, besides the party Kurt is now planning, and prom, we figured we'd want to go on a honeymoon, but we'll wait till after graduation so we can stay longer without missing too much school. After that, we'll get an apartment in New York City in time for college to start. Since we are married now, I guess you can have your guest room back." He said jokingly. I gave him a look and he backtracked quickly.

"I mean, Kurt has a bigger room anyway, it makes sense for us to take that one… if it's ok with you of course. Or we could just keep the arrangement we have now if you'd rather that." He finished quickly.

"I guess you can move into Kurt's room. You're in there most nights anyway, might as well get the guest room back so we can have company again, or at least a place to store stuff." As soon as I said it, his face lit up. He immediately thanked me before telling Kurt, who squealed with delight. They continued with the party plans while Finn and I went in to watch some TV.

Later on, Carol and I were sitting in the living room enjoy a glass of wine.

"I can't believe that they're married." She said quietly.

"I know. But I'm really not that surprised. I mean, I wasn't expecting it, but if anyone can make it work, it's them. They've been through so much together; I don't think there's anything they can't handle."

A/N: A few things:

1. Before you anonymously bash/complain/correct, you can get married in New York State at 16, with written permission from a guardian, so we can all just imagine them forging a note. If they are willing to use fake ID's, they would certainly be willing to use a fake note since Blaine is only 17 here.

2. There's probably only going to be a few more chapters. There's still prom and graduation though. I am either going to go to graduation or the end of summer with the boys leaving for college.

3. A big thanks to everyone who's been reviewing. They make my day and inspire me to write faster.

Thanks:)
