Chapter Sixteen

Kurt gets in his car with a happy smile on his face. He's sure he'll never forget this hour he spent with his son for the first time. Even though he's just walked out their door, he's already looking forward to spending time with him again.

He couldn't be more relieved that Miranda finally admitted the truth and let him near their son. They haven't discussed any details yet, agreed to take one step at a time. Kenny seemed to enjoy his company and Kurt promised to meet them in the park on Saturday.

He looks for his cell phone to check if he has any missed calls, but there are no notifications. He knows that Diane is waiting for his call, but he isn't sure what he should tell her on the phone. She has finally let him close to her again and not even the result of the DNA test seemed to cause any tension between them. It seems like Diane has accepted this new situation and tries to be supportive of him, but he knows he has to tread carefully.

Miranda will always be the other woman for Diane and he cannot expect her to welcome his son to their life with open arms. Even though he hasn't discussed it with Miranda, he'd like to introduce Kenny to Diane. He has someone else in his life that is important to him beside his wife, but he'll only be really happy when these two start bonding as well. He hopes it will happen soon, but he won't push Diane in any way. He will give her all the time she needs.

"Hey," he tells Diane when she picks up.

"Hey, how did it go?"

"It went well, she even let me spend time with Kenny."

"That is fantastic!"

He can hear the honest enthusiasm in her voice and it makes him smile even wider.

"I know. Have you had lunch yet?"

"No, I've been waiting for your call."

"Do you want to have lunch with me?" he proposes, as if he's asking his own wife on a date, hearing her reaction has made him even more excited to share the details of his visit with her as soon as possible.

"Of course."

"I'll pick you up in twenty minutes."

o-o-o

He doesn't want to spend their whole lunch talking about his son, so he tries to control himself, but he also appreciates, how Diane doesn't seem to mind. She's listening to him with a smile on her face as he's talking about how he and Kenny filled and emptied the plush tool box about a dozen times.

"And what did she say? Will she let you see him again?" Diane carefully tries to change the focus of the conversation.

"Yes, we made plans for Saturday afternoon. I'm meeting them in the park."

"I see," she nods and a few seconds of silence follows while Kurt is considering whether or not he should suggest something, which he decides to do in the end.

"You could come with me."

"Are you sure about that?" her question sort of gives him hope that she might actually say yes, so he makes the offer even clearer.

"Of course, I'd love for you to come."

"No," she shakes her had, "Maybe some other time, it's too soon for me," she declines him tactfully, but he understands.

"All right. I'll have to call Will and tell him what happened."

"I can tell him tomorrow in person, we'll meet after work."

"Really?"

Nothing else could have stunned him more than this response. Not even a day ago Diane refused to leave their kitchen so she didn't have to talk to Will.

"Yes, he called and offered to have coffee together and I said yes."

He cannot tell if she is happy about this meeting or not, but it's enough for him to know they will sit at the same table and actually talk. It should have happened long ago, they should have talked about that stupid fight after it happened and get over it, but it's not too late yet.

"I am really happy to hear that."

"It's just coffee."

"I know."

He smiles at her and she shifts her gaze to her plate to avoid his for a few seconds.

"So have you discussed any details with Miranda? How often will she let you see Kenny?"

"We haven't talked about it yet."

"You have to come to an arrangement about visitation, if she wants to be present or will she let you take him with you."

"You sound like my lawyer," he says half chuckling.

He appreciates that she wants to be involved, but there is no reason to rush into anything. He is able to see his son and that is enough for him at the moment.

"I'm sorry, I just want to know what to expect, how our life will change now."

"I will work out the details with her about Kenny, but but whatever happens regarding him, nothing will change between us," he reaches for her hand to give emphasis to his words.

"Okay," she replies with a smile and he is grateful for her trust.

He knows that as her husband his most important task is to keep Diane happy and make sure nothing else will shake their marriage again.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the guest reviews.

To Vereia:

Thank you so much for your reviews, they always put a smile on my face. My timing is a little off, but the DW talk is coming in the next chapter.

To Justine:

Thank you for your review! I'm sure Will will help her in some way and vice versa, she definitely needs a friend right now and he does too. I can't imagine Kurt making Diane feel like "the other woman", but we'll see how it goes with Miranda in the picture.

I'd also like to thank you for your review on 'Another Way'. I'm sorry I made you cry, I did the same to myself. I really hope they will be able to solve the situation on the show as well soon! The love is still there, so I'm sure he'll be able to forgive her with time. *fingers crossed*
