Author's note: Wow…Burt and Carole's reaction was tough to write! But I'm hoping Finn and Rachel's reactions are worth it! I know they will be. Thanks for the kind words everyone! I love this fic. And I'm putting every other chapter fic on hiatus to finish this one!

Chapter 4-Acceptance

They'd gotten back to Westerville quietly and quickly and went straight to bed. Blaine knew he and Kurt would talk about things in the morning when it came to the resolution with his parents. Right now, they wanted to just lay in bed and sleep. But Blaine couldn't. He looked down at his sleeping husband. He remembered when he lay in this bed, and Kurt was sitting in the chair holding his hand. When Sebastian had slushied him. That was the hardest day for him. He pulled Kurt closer to him and sleep came easily again. He slept dreamless and that was good. He rolled over and noticed that Kurt was nowhere to be found. He saw the door to the bathroom was closed, and he wondered how that happened. He stood up and went to the door and knocked lightly. The door opened and Kurt stood there, in his full moisturizing routine. He had his green 'Swamp Thing' mask on as Blaine had called it, and he shook his head laughing.

"Finish up, baby. We've got a long drive ahead of us. I need a shower though."

"Okay. Never stopped you before."

Kurt said. Blaine knew he had a point. He ran his hand through Kurt's hair and walked back out, getting the towel and some clothes. He walked in and put them on the back of the toilet. Kurt smiled and took his iPod out. He put it on the sink and the first song that popped up was one of his favorites.

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you?

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're going to get down to it

So tell me

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you?

Blaine started the water and looked at Kurt singing along to the song. Kurt noticed Blaine was watching him sing the song. Blaine shook his head and stepped into the shower.

"You do realize that song is about a one night stand, right babe?"

"Well yes. The presence of the line 'we haven't fucked yet', proves that. Come on Blaine Warbler…you got something better?"

"As a matter of fact Kurt Warbler Anderson, I do!"

He said, his curls tangled with the Nexxus Aloxxi Shampoo they shared. Blaine took the ipod off the sink and found the song. They'd danced to it at their wedding. Kurt recognized it instantly and listened as his husband sang the song.

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But you sing to me over and over and over again

Kurt rinsed off his mask and smiled at the singing man in the shower. He remembered watching 'A Walk To Remember' on their second date. He remembered being snuggled up on the sofa in the dorm that Kurt shared with David. Blaine told Kurt that this was his favorite movie, and Kurt had gone out and bought a copy. He'd never seen it and when he bought it, he'd prepped himself by watching it, crying his eyes out and then cleaned himself up, awaiting Blaine's arrival. Kurt stripped off his robe and smiled as he slid into the shower with his husband, wrapping his arms around Blaine's waist.

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands

And pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now, you're my only hope.

Blaine stepped out of the shower first, toweling out his hair. He grabbed the second towel off the rack and handed it to Kurt. He wrapped it around his waist and watched as Blaine wrapped his towel around his waist and grabbed his clothes. Kurt smiled and walked into their bedroom and smiled. He pulled boxer briefs out for him, and boxers out for Blaine. He grabbed a pair of black jeans that Blaine loved on him out. He grabbed a gray long sleeved t-shirt and a black vest with his good luck pin. He took out a grey long sleeved t-shirt and the vest and a bowtie for Blaine. Blaine watched as Kurt moved around their suitcases with ease and then watched as the towel dropped from his husband's waist. His eyes widened, and he gasped as he felt all his blood shoot straight to his groin. He couldn't let himself get aroused. They had to drive back to Lima today to see Finn and Rachel. They were already running behind schedule, and it took everything he had to not go over to his husband and throw him onto the bed.

"Did you take my stuff out too?"

"It's on the bed. Stop staring at me, Anderson and get dressed. We've got precious time to make up."

"I'm not staring at you."

"Lies. Blaine, get dressed."

Kurt said, slipping into his boxer briefs. Blaine sighed loudly, to signify his disappointment at his husband pulling his boxer briefs up. Blaine walked over to his clothes and put them on. Kurt finished putting his jeans on when he turned and spied Blaine putting his gel away.

"I don't think I'm going to wear the gel today."

Kurt put his hand to his heart in mock terror. The last time Blaine went gel-less was at their wedding, and that was at Kurt's request. Blaine put his gel back in the suitcase and zipped it.

"Don't look at me like that, Kurt Hummel-Anderson. It's just easier to manage, besides…it's going to take awhile and we don't have that long."

Kurt smiled as he grabbed his suitcase and led Blaine back downstairs. Cooper was engrossed in a game of Call Of Duty to see them coming down the stairs. They walked back into the house and looked at Cooper. Cooper heard them and smiled.

"You guys headed out?"

"Yeah. Headed back to Lima, then we have a seven-thirty flight back to New York. Tell Mama we'll call her when we land."

"Will do. Short stack, Little Dude…come get some Coop hugs."

Blaine and Kurt walked over to Cooper and smiled sadly at him. They didn't want to leave Cooper, or Ohio, but they had lives to get back to. And jobs. And this looming reality show concept. They left with promises to call within the next few days. They left Westerville and headed back towards Lima, when Kurt dropped his head on Blaine's shoulder. Kurt loved when it was times like this that Blaine and he were alone when everything made sense.

"This is going to be good for us, Blaine…I have a feeling."

"I know baby. Me too. That's why I'm really confident about this reality show idea. We'd be fools not to take it."

"I know. But I want to make sure that you're absolutely ready for this. I know you've shouldered the responsibility of us not yet having a baby, and you need to know that none of this is your fault, okay? If anything…it's me. That's why I'm putting off touring. Because we need to make our life complete. You're writing your last article in two weeks, right? Just relax. We'll go see Finn and Rachel, and then go home. But first, what do you say about a vacation?"

"Where?"

"Anywhere."

Blaine said, turning onto the exit for Lima. He could see Kurt mulling over the vacation proposition. They sat in silence for a little while as Kurt pointed out directions to Finn and Rachel's apartment and when they pulled into the lot, Kurt had a big smile on his face. There was one place he wanted to go. And it was because there were several memories attached to that place.

"San Juan."

Immediately Blaine knew what Kurt was talking about. He nodded happily and got out of the truck. This was their last stop before going back to New York. They pressed the buzzer for Rachel and Finn's apartment and waited.

"Hello?"

"Rach, it's us. Let us up!"

"Hey Kurt! Hey Blaine. Door's open. We're the second floor!"

Rachel said, hearing the buzz of the door. Blaine opened it and held it for Kurt, then glided in behind him, taking Kurt's hand. They got to the door and knocked, and they stood there waiting for Finn or Rachel to answer. Just then the door opened, and Rachel stood there holding the baby her and Finn had just had.

"Kurt, Blaine!"

She said, smiling. Phoebe Kate Hudson was born four weeks previously and looked like her mother. They stepped inside the apartment and hugged Rachel. Blaine smiled sadly at Phoebe and then kissed her forehead softly. As the godfathers of Phoebe, it was their job to protect her.

"Rachel, darling! We're so glad we could be here. Where's Finn?"

"Doing a shift for Burt. One of the other guys quit, so Finn's been picking up the extra shifts for him. Won't be home for a couple hours."

"Shit. We have to be at the airport at four. Well, I guess we could tell you then you could tell Finn."

"Tell me what?"

Finn said, strolling into the apartment. Rachel looked at the clock and smiled. She'd misread it and watched as Finn came over and kissed her warmly. He then took Phoebe from Rachel and held her. Kurt felt a wave of emotion come over him, watching his brother bond with his daughter. It was a beautiful sight.

"Well guys. We've been to see Burt and Carole. We saw Jana and Cooper, and now we're going to tell you. Santana called us the other day. She made us an offer we can't turn down. TLC wants us to do a reality show. And we've agreed to do it. If you guys want to be part of it, we'll send you any paperwork that TLC sends us."

"What happened to your privacy?"

Rachel asked. This was a frequently asked question for them, and a question that they didn't want to answer anymore. Kurt stood up and started pacing. It wasn't because he was nervous, or scared. Blaine knew this pace. He knew this was the 'I'm angry and I want to leave' pace. He also knew that Kurt was shutting down. Blaine shook his head sadly and spoke up for them.

"Of course Kurt and I are worried for our privacy. But we are using this show to document our journey as we try and become parents. And yes, it's true. We both are leaving our jobs to focus on this journey. We're settled financially, we're happy, we're in love. We have enough love in our hearts for a child, and we're going to show the world that."

And Kurt turned to look at his husband. That was the most impassioned speech he'd ever heard Blaine give in six years. He was completely turned on by that speech, and he knew what he had to do. He turned and sat back down next to Blaine and whispered in his ear.

"That was hot. Like…supermegafoxyawesomehot. And I'm so turned on right now. If we don't get out of here soon and find somewhere to go, I'm going to scream."

That was the signal Blaine needed. He smiled, blushed and looked at Finn and Rachel. He looked at his cell phone, and checked the time. He then looked over at Kurt and smiled at him.

"Wow gee guys…look at the time. Kurt and I have to get on the road if we're going to make it to the airport by four. We thank you for your acceptance and your love. We're going to send you some papers when we get them. So, we'll call you, okay?"

Rachel and Finn nodded. Hugs, kisses and goodbyes were exchanged and Blaine and Kurt rushed out. They were going to find somewhere to go and be together before flying back to New York, and this new journey that they were embarking on. For better or worse.

A/N2: Songs used partially in this chapter were 'Why Can't I?' by Liz Phair and 'Only Hope' sung by Mandy Moore but written by Switchfoot. So, yeah…read and review. Next up? The confirmation to Santana, and some news that could change things!
