Blaine hugged Kurt around his waist, kissing on his neck. "I'm so glad the doctor approved Everett for the surgery and we have our parents helping us out with the cost. Everything seems to be falling into place." He murmured, his hands wandering up his husbands sweatshirt, feeling his skin for the first time in so long. "Blaine stop, I'm trying to finish washing my face." Kurt said softly, using his elbows to push his arms away. With a sigh Blaine exited the bathroom and lied down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling till his husband came out. "Come here babe." Blaine held his arms wide open, letting Kurt use him as a pillow, his hands wandering Kurt's smooth skin. "What is with you tonight?" Kurt asked, looking at Blaine with a chuckle, stopping his hands from roaming any further south. Blaine shrugged and grinned like a horny teenage boy, leaning his head up to peck Kurt's lips. "We just.. haven't done anything together in a while and I miss that.. I miss you. Please." Blaine whispered, his lips ghosting over Kurt's collarbone.
"No, Blaine stop." Kurt's hands were flat against his husbands chest, afraid to look at his face. Blaine was hurt if anything. His husband didn't want to have sex with him. They've been doing so well lately. "Do you not love me or something?" Blaine asked, venom dripping from his voice, feeling like Kurt saying no was a slap in the face. He's been trying so hard to be a better husband, a better dad, and now that he wants to spend some alone time with his husband he gets pushed away. "I do love you Blaine.. I do. I'm just not ready for this right now." Kurt tried to hold Blaine's hands in his but Blaine pulled them away. "We've been having sex since we were seventeen years old, what do you mean you aren't ready?" Blaine asked harshly, pulling his eyebrows together in frustration. They've gone a week without fighting. That was obviously out the window tonight. "I mean that we haven't had sex in months and then you decide that you're going to try harder in this marriage and about two weeks later expect sex out of me! I'm not ready for that, you need to earn it more. To be honest I'm shocked I said 'I love you' when I did." Blaine's eyes searched Kurt's which were now a darker blue instead of the usual bright, he obviously meant what he said.
"So you're shocked that you love me? God Kurt I never stopped loving you, even when I barely saw you and we stopped talking as much... I was still madly in love with you." Blaine and Kurt were still lying close, the two of them watching each other, speaking more quietly than before. "I'm not. I'm just shocked I said it when I did, I felt like it was way too soon. To be honest I was convinced that I didn't love you as much anymore. I was clearly wrong. What I'm trying to say is.. let me take this on my own time. If I'm ready to have sex with you let me initiate it so we can avoid this." Kurt motioned his hands between the two of them, not wanting to say the word fight, because this wasn't exactly a fight, just an argument that was about to become a fight. "The past week has been amazing Blaine, its starting to feel like it used to feel before you started working late and Everett was diagnosed. I want to stay like this because I love you, I love our kids, and I love this family. The fighting needs to stop, I want it to just stop, or at least come to a minimum since asking it to stop may be asking way too much, that's kind of impossible." Kurt continued, staring into Blaine's eyes the entire time to prove just how truthful he was. "I can to do that. We can do that. Its going to stay just like this. I promise." Blaine whispered, holding Kurt tightly against his chest.
Blaine grabbed his coffee off the table and greeted his family, all of them getting kisses on the cheek. "Have you talked to Everett about what's going on now that we got the okay?" Kurt wondered, knowing that it needed to be done soon since the surgery was next week. Blaine shook his head noticing that Payton was staring at them, being secretly nosy. "Tell Ever what daddy?" He thought too soon, she always jumped in eventually. "We are going to have a family meeting about it later okay princess?" Payton nodded and finished her cereal, trying not to think too much about this family meeting. She remembered that Ella's parents had a meeting with her when they told her about the divorce. But daddy promised.
Kurt looked into the surgery more while Everett was taking a nap, feeling much better about the whole thing. He was going to be fine, his son was a trooper. He closed out of his laptop right when the phone started to ring, running to grab it. "Hello?" Kurt asked, running his fingers through his son's dark curls. "This is he..." His mouth fell open as he listened to Payton's teacher about how she was currently having a breakdown about something. "Okay.. I'll be right over. Did you get her to talk at all?" He wondered, hoping it isn't something too serious. "Okay, no its fine I'm on my way now to bring her home, thank you for calling me." Kurt hung up and gathered his wallet and gently picked up Everett, hoping he'll stay asleep in the car, he hated that he might have woken him up, but something is obviously very wrong with Payton.
"Mr. Anderson, hi, Payton is in the clinic right now, I honestly don't know what could have triggered it but she was playing with Ella and before I knew it she just started crying." Her teacher explained, pained by what happened. Payton was such a good kid, very bright and sweet. Kurt thanked her and ran off to the office to see his little girl, his dad mode kicking into high gear. He entered the clinic to see her lying in the bed, her shoulders shaking with sobs. "Pay." Kurt said softly, setting Everett down on a chair so he can sit with his daughter. She rolled over and sat up, crawling into his arms and crying harder into his shoulder. She couldn't even speak. He tried to hold back his own tears as he stood taking his son's hand as they walked out so he can sign her out of school and take her home. He needed to call Blaine as soon as humanly possible so they can figure this out together.
Blaine entered the house and ran to their bedroom, Kurt lying on the bed with both their kids sleeping on either side of him. "We need to talk." Kurt said quietly, getting up as carefully as possible so he doesn't disturb the kids. Blaine nodded and followed him out to the living room, taking a seat on the couch. "Payton thought we were getting a divorce Blaine!" He instantly face palmed, letting out a sigh. "I can totally explain that." Blaine mumbled, not believing that this was happening. Kurt raised an eyebrow and tapped his foot, waiting for his husband to speak. "Okay last week Payton asked what a divorce was and told me that Ella's parents had a meeting with her and that's what they said, but before Payton could find out what a divorce was the teacher stopped them from talking about it." Blaine explained, looking up at Kurt, about to continue before he was interrupted. "What does that have to do with her thinking that we're getting one?"
"I was getting to that." Blaine said grabbing Kurt's hand and gently tugging him, as a signal to take a seat, which he did. "So after I explained what it was in simple six year old terms she asked if we would ever get one to which I replied never, and she asked if I promised, which I did, and we locked pinkies. It was a legitimate deal we made." He joked afterward, hoping to get a smile out of his husband, which he didn't. "So that's why she kept saying 'he promised, he promised' it all makes sense now." Blaine's heart dropped at that, she thought he broke the promise.
Kurt pushed open their bedroom door, the couple crawling into bed and holding their kids. "Did you explain to her that we aren't getting a divorce?" Blaine asked, looking up at Kurt who was holding Everett against him. Kurt nodded and gave his husband a small smile, kissing the back of his son's head. "Daddy, you still love dad right?" His eyes looked down to his daughter who was trying to keep her eyes open. "I do sweetie, I love dad very much." Blaine whispered against her hair, kissing her head as she fell back asleep smiling, hugging around him tighter. "I love you too." Kurt mumbled, leaning forward carefully to kiss Blaine on the forehead.
Blaine gently threw down Everett on the couch, tickling his sides, loving the sound of his belly laugh. He couldn't wait till his son could hear himself. "Daddy leave the prince alone!" Payton yelled giggling, jumping onto the couch holding out her wand, holding her smile the best she could. "Who is this daddy you speak of? I'm a big. Fire breathing. Dragon!" Blaine roared, picking up his daughter and spinning her around before landing on the couch. The three of them laughed as Payton and Everett teamed up on their daddy and tickled him. "What in the world is going on out here?" Kurt asked as he stepped into the living room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The trouble trio looked up with smiles on their faces, acting like nothing was going on. "Daddy is a dragon and Everett is a prince and I'm a princess!" Payton said excitedly, leaning over the back of the couch, standing on Blaine's thighs. Kurt smirked and walked toward his daughter, picking her up and balancing her on his hip. "You are a princess and Everett is most certainly a prince, but what am I?" He asked, pouting like a child, making Blaine laugh. "You're the king!" She squealed, kissing his cheek, her arms tightening around her dad's neck as she hugged onto him. Kurt chuckled and looked to his husband, giving him a wink. "Well if I'm a king then daddy shouldn't be a dragon, he should be my king, right?" Their daughter nodded excitedly as did their son once Blaine signed him the question so he could answer. "Shall we order dinner for the castle my king?" Blaine asked Kurt, scooping up Everett and heading to the kitchen to find some take out menus. Kurt nodded and followed behind, leaning on Blaine's back, reading over his shoulder.
Blaine tucked Everett in, kissing his forehead as his last goodnight, his eyes already drifting closed. "I can't wait till next week." Blaine whispered, staring down at his son, gently moving a few curls from his face. "You coming to bed?" Kurt was lounging in the doorway, watching his boys with a smirk. He loved watching Blaine interact with his son. Blaine nodded and clicked the night light on before grabbing his husband's hand and leading him to their bedroom.
"So Ever is going to hear again?" Payton asked after Kurt finished explaining what next week was going to be like. Blaine nodded and placed a hand on his husband's knee, giving it an encouraging squeeze. "While we are at the hospital you'll be spending a lot of time with your uncle Finn." Blaine explained, the six year old's eyes lighting up as her mouth dropped. "Really? I'll be with uncle Finn!" She yelled excitedly, Kurt rolling his eyes. He always spoiled her over there and let her have way too much dessert. It was his job as her uncle to do that though, he loved his niece and nephew a hell of a lot. "You need to be good for him, okay?" Payton nodded and kissed her dad's cheeks, snuggling up under her comforter. "Nighty night!" Their daughter yelled as they exited the room, making the two of them chuckle. She was always a good kid, they didn't need to worry about that.
"I'm taking next week off, to be there for Everett." Blaine said quietly as they lie in bed, Kurt's back pressed up against his chest. The cuddling has been more frequent this past week, the tension slowly fading away. "I'm glad. That's more time I get to spend with you, as a family." Kurt smiled and looked back at his husband, crinkling his nose cutely making Blaine chuckle and press a kiss to it. "I love the faces you make." Blaine laughed as Kurt made another, going cross eyed. They were acting like such kids, but were having too much fun to care about that. "I love your laugh." Kurt told him, sticking his tongue out of the side of his mouth, trying his hardest not to laugh himself. Blaine rolled over so he was hovering over his husband, smiling down at him. "I love you." He mumbled, leaning down so their foreheads were pressed together. Kurt placed a hand on Blaine's cheek and pulled his face down more, taking his lips into his own. Blaine's tongue swiped over Kurt's bottom lip, asking permission, not wanting to push. They explored each others mouths, giggling like teenagers, no one begging for anything more than this and just enjoying the simple task of making out with each other. "I love you too." Kurt whispered, letting Blaine use him as a pillow for once.
I am so terribly sorry for the long wait! I didn't mean for this to happen but I have had a lot going on lately! Senior year is busy, I can't believe it! Anyway I hope you all love this chapter!
If you don't understand what triggered Payton to freak out was that Blaine said they would have a family meeting later and Ella told her that's what her parents said. Just in case anyone needed that cleared up I thought I would put it here!
So thank you all for your amazing comments! My heart swells with happiness whenever I read them, It means so much to me! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Love you all, thank you for reading! :)
