Happily Ever Forever
Kurt and Blaine Anderson are living in the suburbs of New York with their five kids – Jacob, Logan, Belle, Lizzie, and Dalton. Their life isn't easy, but they wouldn't change anything in the world for it.

CAR RIDES
July 7, 2024
Blaine breathed deeply and tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he put the brakes on the car again, "God dammit!" he yelled out.
"Daddy swore!" Belle laughed and kicked the back of Kurt's seat.
Kurt groaned and closed his eyes, "Belle Rose, you do not have to yell. And Blaine," he turned to look at his husband, "No swearing," he hissed.
"Kurt, look at this traffic!" Blaine threw his hand forward, "Why didn't we leave yesterday? Sunday's are awful travel days."
"Because you said Saturday would have bad traffic since people would want to be home on Sunday to relax," Logan chimed in.
"And look who was wrong about that," Jacob whispered.
Logan laughed and shoved his older brother.
Blaine glared at them through the rearview mirror and opened his mouth, but Kurt set a hand on his arm. "Breathe," Kurt said softly, "Just relax. Do you want to pull over? I can drive."
Blaine shook his head and sighed, "No, sorry. It's just been an hour."
"An hour of hell," Logan groaned.
"Logan Everett!" Blaine and Kurt yelled at the same time as Jacob and Belle laughed.
"You do not swear, Logan," Kurt added.
"He didn't lie," Jacob chuckled.
"Don't swear," Blaine stated.
"Let's just be quiet, please," Kurt said, "Lizzie and Dalton are sleeping and I'd like to leave it that way."
"Well can we get food soon?" Belle whined.
"Maybe," Blaine sighed, "I don't know, let's see how far we can get. Maybe it's just construction and we'll start moving again soon."
Blaine was wrong. The family of seven was still two hours away from their house after another hour in the car. The usual two-hour car ride was now twice as long. Jacob's head was leaning against the window as he listened to his music while Logan played games on the iPad. Lizzie had just woken up and was trying to watch a movie with Belle despite her drooping head. Dalton was still asleep, but was beginning to stir in his car seat.
Kurt kept turning around to look at him until Blaine snapped, "Would you stop? He's asleep."
Kurt shot a glare towards his husband, "Alright, pull over right now."
"No," Blaine said through gritted teeth.
Kurt glanced behind them at the kids before hissing, "What is wrong with you?"
"I'm just trying to get home," Blaine said stiffly, "Pulling over will make this even longer."
"Blaine, pull the car over now," Kurt said.
Blaine rolled his eyes before pulling the car to the side of the highway, "Happy?"
"Wait," Jacob pulled his headphones out, "What are you doing?"
"Are we getting food?" Logan asked.
Kurt and Blaine both got out of the car glaring at each other.
"What is going on?" Kurt asked softly after a minute, "Are you ok?"
"I just want to get home," Blaine sighed, "This whole thing is ridiculous."
"I know, but you can't freak out," Kurt took Blaine's hand in both of his, squeezing them softly.
Blaine bit his lip and nodded, "I'm sorry."
Kurt hugged Blaine close and rubbed his back, "I'm sorry for being annoying."
Blaine chuckled and kissed Kurt's temple, "It's fine, I'm just on edge. I hate traffic."
"Who does?" Kurt laughed and stepped back.
The car door opened and Lizzie hesitantly stepped out, "Dad? Daddy?"
Kurt and Blaine's eyes widened and they both shot forward, "Lizzie!"
"Peanut, you cannot leave the car!" Blaine said as he grabbed his daughter.
"I'm sorry!" Lizzie said as her lip wavered, "I just had to go to the bathroom." Her eyes welled up, "I didn't know I was being bad."
"No, no, sweetie," Kurt quickly said and stroked her hair, "You weren't being bad, we just want you to stay safe, ok?"
Lizzie nodded and took a deep breath, "So where's the bathroom?"
Blaine and Kurt looked at each other before Blaine handed Lizzie to his husband, "I'll go check on the kids." He smirked softly before hurrying to the van.
Kurt sighed and looked at Lizzie, "You really have to go?"
"Well, yeah!" Lizzie shrugged, "I'm kinda in a panic."
"Ok, ok," Kurt hurried Lizzie behind some trees.
Logan looked out the window and laughed as Blaine sat in the passenger seat.
Blaine chuckled, "She must really have to go."
Belle sighed, "She's getting crabby, Daddy. She's such a baby."
Blaine turned and looked at her, "Belle Rose, talk nice about your sister."
"Wait, wait," Jacob sat forward, "So what's going on?"
Blaine took a deep breath, "Alright, how's this? Jacob, you come sit here and Belle will sit in the back with Logan. I'll sit between Lizzie and Dalton, ok?"
The kids nodded and everyone changed seats by the time Kurt helped Lizzie into her booster seat. "What's going on?" he laughed softly at Blaine jammed in the middle of the front row.
"I'll sit back here and take care of these two while you take this next shift. Deal?" Blaine asked with a smile.
Kurt laughed and kissed his husband softly, "Deal."
Kurt parked the car and let out a deep breath before closing his eyes, "We're home."
The van doors flew open and the older kids ran into the house before Kurt had even taken his seatbelt off. When he did, he looked behind him and smiled at Blaine and Dalton.
His husband's head was resting on Dalton's car seat and his hand was on Dalton's small lap while the nine month old sat still sucking on his pacifier and staring up at himself in the small mirror attached to the back of the seat.
Kurt got out and carefully picked up Dalton, "Daddy's tired, isn't he?" he whispered and kissed Dalton's cheek, "You did so good in the car ride, my sweet prince, I am so proud of you."
Dalton smiled around the pacifier and laid his head on Kurt's shoulder.
Kurt chuckled and kissed Dalton's head before gently shaking Blaine. "Honey," Kurt said softly, "We're home."
Blaine stirred before groaning and slowly sitting up, "Really?"
Kurt laughed and nodded, "Yes, now come on. I can already tell you have a stiff neck, let's get you out of there so we can relax in a hot shower."
Blaine smiled, "I like what you're thinking." He scooted out of the van and stretched before rolling his neck around, "Damn," he breathed and rubbed the back of his neck with a chuckled.
Kurt smiled and kissed Blaine's forehead, "My loves."
Blaine chuckled and went to grab some of the suitcases out of the back. Kurt grabbed one as well and both went inside to see the kids hanging out in the living room watching tv.
Jacob walked downstairs in a new outfit, pulling a jacket on, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"I don't think so," Blaine dropped the suitcases and grabbed Jacob's arm before he could walk out the door, "Where do you think you're going?"
"Casey's," Jacob pulled away, "It's been a week."
"You can wait until tomorrow," Kurt sighed before walking upstairs with Dalton.
Jacob looked at Blaine and raised his eyebrows.
Blaine shook his head and locked the front door, "Tomorrow you can spend the day with Casey, tonight you can unpack," he pushed Jacob's suitcase towards his oldest.
Jacob groaned and picked up with suitcase to bring upstairs.
"Stop kicking."
"Your feet are cold."
"Your voices annoy me."
Blaine smiled a little and walked over to the couch, "Are you guys really tired when we just spent four hours sitting in the car?"
"What do you have in mind?" Logan sat up from laying on the loveseat.
"Hmm," Blaine smirked and leaned over the couch where the girls were laying, "I bought two sprinklers before we left."
"Yes!" Lizzie ran upstairs.
Blaine laughed as the others followed before grabbing the suitcases and walking upstairs.
Blaine stepped out of his swimsuit and turned the shower on.
There was a soft knock on the door and Kurt walked in before closing the door behind him, "Hey you." He wrapped his arms around Blaine and pulled his nude husband against his chest, "The kids passed out in their beds, they loved the sprinklers."
Blaine chuckled and closed his eyes, "I figured they would." He breathed deeply and turned in Kurt's arms to slowly undress the man. "I really love you," he smiled.
Kurt laughed softly and winked, "Good."
Blaine laughed and gently pushed Kurt, "Hey!"
"I love you too," Kurt chuckled and kissed Blaine's nose.
Blaine smiled and stepped into the shower, "Still want to shower with me even if I have grass on my feet?"
Kurt laughed and stepped in behind Blaine, "Of course I do."
Blaine kissed Kurt softy and closed the curtain, "Perfect."
AN: Still trying to figure out a storyline that I want to stick with, but for now…here's some family time! I really love these characters and am really trying to write out what I imagine them as in my head. If anyone has any storylines they want with Kurt, Blaine, and this family, give a reply and I'll work on it! Until next time!
