Find Yourself-
Ok here is yet another chapter…yea! Sorry I was pretty rushed on the Mother's Day stuff but the muse just wasn't wanting to write sappy mother/child moments…also I was going to include actual songs but I wanted to update tonight. PS: Congrats to Chris and Mike on your Emmy noms (TEAM HUMMEL!) hell congrats to glee in general with 19 noms over all including 5 other acting nods on top of the two I mentioned as well as a nod for best series! Still don't own the fandoms however sadly…
May 9th, 2010:
After finishing up their family breakfast, Kristina and Molly headed to their respective rooms to get ready while Burt had headed back to his own room to catch a few extra moments of sleep before brunch leaving Alexis and Kurt once more to be together and while Kurt cleared the table and Alexis read the morning paper they engaged in some idle yet meaningful conversation which convinced the young man that his father definitely had gotten it right on his first dip into the dating pool since he'd been thirteen.

By the time they had gotten to the hall for Brunch the five some still hadn't regained their appetite though the others in their party didn't seem to mind, especially when most everyone's attention was on little Dani who was precisely a month old. The little pink bundle was simply precious as she wriggled round in her father's muscular arms. Sam was simply glowing as she watched Puck rocking his girl humming a soft lullaby. She had always wanted a daughter and was definitely grateful that her sister made these great friends who had let her live out her ultimate dream. Quinn, who after being rigorously trained by Brittany and Santana and who was on a strict dietary regime set up by Kurt and gained back her pre- pregnancy body, in fact she was looking more stunning then ever. She didn't think this mother's day would feel as it did to her. She had thought the day would be full of regret thinking about the child she had given up however she had been able to break the stigma that you couldn't have it both ways. She definitely did, she had been given the opportunity to live a normal teenage life AND play mother to Dani at the same time.
Overall the day was a success, even Rachel who of the teens was the only one without a mother figure in their lives (though Judy Fabray was MIA at brunch she had since taken her daughter in to live with her again) didn't seem to mind as the whole day was definitely a success.

"So," Kristina said as she entered Kurt's room, watching him stand by his mirror midway though his nightly skin regime, "how was your first mothers day."
"Fascinating, I definitely did not know what I was missing."
"You think somewhere down the road they'll make it official? I mean of all the guys my mom's been with your dad has to be one of the more normal ones."
"My dad, with a wardrobe consisting of 80% flannel and his extensive collection of Mellencamp…normal."
Kristina just looked at him as he finished rubbing whatever it was across his forehead and took a seat beside her on the foot of his bed.
"If he doesn't put a ring on it by DB's first birthday then some meddling may have to be involved."
"Something tells me you'll be meddling even before then," Kristina said with a grin….
Kurt let out a laugh as the conversation quickly changed to summer plans and who was driving to school the next day.

Kristina won the driving debate as she parked her car in the student lot Monday morning. Chatting with Artie for a while before the warning bell rang she slipped into her stool in the science room and flashed a smile to Puck who smiled back.
"So years almost up," Puck said with a smirk.
"Well the school year at least."
"You know that's what I meant."
She nodded.
"Let me guess, you need me to tutor you for finals cause if Rachel tutors you let's face it your study session would become a make out session within seconds."
Puck laughed thinking that this was true.
"Well, when the time comes and we get our finals schedules you may have to pencil me in," he said with a grin as class began.

The rest of Monday was pretty normal all things considering. Everyone went to their respective classes then headed home without any surprise visitors, relationship drama, or impending performances to occupy any ones mind.
That evening Alexis had been at the office, Burt at the garage, and Kurt at Finn's…not to mention the Cohen-Chang's out and about like they were more so then not leading Kristina, Molly, and Tina to order in and work on their homework while watching cheesy teen melodramas on TV.
"She did not just sleep with him…again…I mean they are siblings," Tina said popping a handful of M&Ms.
"Yes but not by blood," Kristina replied as Molly commented about how the protagonists reminded her of those in the novel she was reading while Tina commented that the eleven year old should just take the GED and go off to college.
"I would if I could," Molly said with a sigh, "though missing out on the High School experience that you guys have going one would be something I know I'll regret…though skipping Junior High and heading to McKinley in the fall…that is definitely doable."

Tuesday rolled around and nothing really eventful happened, that was until lunchtime when their close-knit clique sat around their usual lunch table as Artie's soft blue eyes locked on Kristina's and his sparkling smile flashed across his face.
"Artie…dude your freaking me out," Mike said watching the young wheelchair bound boy let out a dreamy sigh.
"We're all young and in love," Kurt said, "so if you've got something to say spit it out."
Artie nodded as he flashed a smile to Kristina's direction.
"Kris," he began, "what are your plans Friday Night?"
"None that I'm aware of…why do you know something? Is Rachel not the only Psychic one of the gang."
Artie let out a laugh at his girlfriend's comment.
"No, I'm not psychic, at least I think I'm not…no…it's just that Friday…well tomorrow technically marks our three month anniversary and considering our first anniversary was marred by the arrival of your dreaded ex and during the last one we were all caught up in Dani's birth and all."
Kristina leaned over to place a sweet kiss on her boyfriend's cheeks while the other four occupants of the table let out a chorus of awws, Kurt even offering to take her shopping for the 'perfect' date night ensemble.

By the time glee rolled around that afternoon a bittersweet feeling fell over the thirteen teenagers. At the beginning of the school year they had all been strangers…some of them even sworn enemies which was what the young Spanish teacher was lecturing about before a smile crossed his lips and he began to unbutton his dress shirt and take off his tie before flipping on a boom box and performing one of his random rap numbers for the club.
The students clapped along and when he finished there was not a dry eye in the room as they promised to keep their heads in the game over the summer so that next fall they could nail it at Sectionals.

Yes I know again this would be a perfect end game though I have five chapters and an epilogue plotted out some more choppy/fillery then others. Again thanks for reading
