Sorry it took me so long to update. Thank all you lovely people for sticking with me. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
"Dad?" Blaine asked again, staring at the man in front of him. "What are you doing here?" He could tell by the look in his father's eyes that he still assumed his son was mentally 14 and he intended to take advantage of that. There was a malicious glint in his eyes and Blaine had the overwhelming desire to punch him.
"I'm here to bring you home, son," Blaine took a step back in shock, his mouth slack in horror.
"Hey, Bb, who-" Kurt's voice came in and Blaine felt part of the dread he'd felt disappeared. "What the hell are you doing here?" Kurt's voice growled as he stood next to Blaine.
"I'm here to collect my son, and I have the court order that says I have legal right to him."
"WHAT?!" Blaine and Kurt both yelled simultaneously. Kurt went to move forward but Blaine grabbed his hand quickly and ignored Mr. Anderson's smug expression.
"I'll handle this," Blaine murmured, kissing Kurt's lips softly before turning back to Mr. Anderson who looked slightly confused and slightly disgusted. "Dad, you have no right to me what so ever, I am 26 years old, and even if I was still mentally 14 you still wouldn't, because I signed a piece of paper years ago that said my HUSBAND is…."
"What do you mean if you were still 14?" Mr. Anderson asked, his body deflating a bit though he tried to hide it.
"I got my memory back, and I am absolutely disgusted by how you acted during this whole thing." Blaine's backbone seemed to be growing and his chest squared boldly. "How dare you act like I could be changed, or that I should be changed, just because I got hurt! That had nothing to do with it though, did it? You wanted me to change because you can't stand having a gay son! Having a gay son fucks up your perfect little reputation, doesn't it?! "
"You will not speak to me with such disrespect," Mr. Anderson snarled, but Blaine wasn't anywhere near done.
"I will speak to you with the same amount of respect that you have granted me! I am NOT a child anymore, Dad! And I'm not scared anymore either! My life and my choices are none of your concern! If I wanted to fuck every man in the U.S. you wouldn't get to say one goddamn thing!" Blaine cut his eyes over to Kurt to make sure that didn't offend him, instead Kurt looked pretty proud. "And another thing, Kurt is my husband and you have done nothing but treat him contempt and disrespect since the moment you met him, as if that would change my mind about him. The thing is, if you even attempted to make me choose between the two of you, it would be easiest decision I'd ever make." Blaine pulled Kurt to his side, making it clear whom he loved. "You can hate me and what I am all you want, but it's not going to make a difference, I get to choose who I love and who I want to spend my life with, and I choose Kurt." Mr. Anderson seemed to have no more wind in his sail, as he stared at the couple who met eyes, both smiling softly at each other, Paul Anderson had lost this fight the moment those two met on the stairs at Dalton.
"You know, Mr. Anderson," Kurt began looking back at Blaine's father. "I have always wondered how a man like you could raise two wonderful people like Blaine and Cooper. Maybe it's because they do everything the opposite of what you would, or maybe it's just they have something completely beautiful in them that overcame all the odds. Whatever it is, I wanted to thank you, because somehow you shaped who they are, and to me they are as perfect as two people can get." Mr. Anderson sneered in detestableness,
"They are both ungrateful, little bastards and I should have disowned them long ago. Well better late than never, I suppose. You are no longer my son and you can tell your brother the same thing," Mr. Anderson growled.
"Mr. Anderson-" Kurt started, shocked. He knew the man was an asshole but to actually disown both of his children…
"It's fine, Babe, I don't want anything to do with him, I don't need his money, his time, and since I don't know if I have ever had his love, I will be just fine without that too!" Blaine hissed at Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson glared and spun around, leaving his son and son-in-law behind. Blaine stared at the shut door for several moments before he sighed heavily, "And the day started off so well." Blaine said, smiling sadly, turning to Kurt, who leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Love," Kurt murmured. Blaine kissed his head affectionately,
"It was a long time coming, I'm surprised it hasn't happen before now. And I don't need him," Blaine claimed, but it only took a moment before Kurt felt Blaine go limp and he sunk to the ground, tears streaming down his face. Kurt kneeled next to him, pulling him to his chest.
"I've got you, Honey, I'm right here," Kurt hummed. Blaine nodded against,
"You're always here when I need you," he whispered. Kurt smiled softly and hummed a tune softly, hoping it would soothe his partner. They sat there in silence other than Blaine's occasional sniffles for nearly five minutes. Then Kurt's phone rang, it was sitting on the coffee table several feet away but the word COOPER was still visible on the screen. Blaine turned his face to look at the phone, sitting up when he saw who it was and crawled over to the table. Kurt smiled softly and Blaine smiled back wetly, the only person who could truly destory Blaine with rejection was Cooper, and Kurt knew that would never happen.
"Hello?" Blaine greeted.
"Bb, was Dad full of shit when he said you'd gotten your memory back or…?" Cooper sounded like a mixture of excited and terror that his father was lying.
"No, he was telling the truth, it happened this morning," Blaine admitted, holding the phone away from his ear when Cooper screamed in happiness. "You're ridiculous, Coop," Blaine replied, chuckling lightly, a soft smile on his lips. "Did he tell you the other news?" Blaine bit his lip, feeling bad for bringing his brother into his father's anger and disapproval. He knew that if Cooper had rejected him when he came out, Cooper would still be heir to the Anderson 'throne'.
"About disowning us?" Blaine nodded even though Cooper couldn't see him, "Yeah, he yelled that somewhere in there. I found it funny that he thought we needed him, as if we ever had." Blaine couldn't help but smile wider, Cooper had practically raised him, his father had never had a big part of his life. "Besides I got grandfather's money when he died so…" Blaine laughed,
"I still think I got the better end of that deal. I got the Armani," Blaine reminded him. Cooper laughed,
"Yeah, you did get the best part of that." Both boys laughed and their father was no longer thought of. "How's my favorite brother-in-law?" Cooper asked, Kurt was currently kissing Blaine's neck comfortingly, knowing whether Blaine was laughing with Cooper or not, that his husband would still need his presence.
"He's currently kissing my neck, and considering we've already fucked five times today, you'd think the man would be worn out but…" Kurt grinned into Blaine's skin, nuzzling gently because they both knew that wasn't what Kurt was doing.
"Well he's always had more stamina than you," Cooper replied casually. Kurt snorted in laughter as Blaine pretended to be offended, for about a second,
"Yeah, that's true." Both Cooper and Kurt laughed happily and Blaine smiled, he had the two people he loved most in the world on his side, always, what did he need someone who didn't love him for?
"How you feeling otherwise, Squirt?" Cooper's voice got more serious, though Blaine could still hear the smile in his voice.
"I'm good, I need to start job hunting as soon as I get home but… Oh," Blaine looked at Kurt, Blaine didn't know about the baby. "So I know this is last minute but do you think Uncle Coop could stop by and help us with the nursery, the baby is…"
"WHAT?!" Cooper screeched. "Oh my God, I thought Kurt called them!" Blaine chuckled lightly,
"He did, I called them back," Blaine leaned over and kissed Kurt's lips soft but deeply.
"AHHHH!" Cooper screamed causing Blaine to pull the phone away from his ear again. He stood and pulled Kurt with him as they headed to the couch. Kurt sat first and opened his arms and Blaine curled into them, while Cooper still cheered and laughed on the other end of the phone.
"Hey," Kurt muttered, Blaine looked back at him, "I love you," Kurt whispered. Blaine smiled and kissed him deeply,
"I love you too."
"When are you coming home?! Isn't your flight tomorrow? What time?" Blaine laughed at Cooper's excitement.
"The fog in the city caused our flight to be delayed, we'll be there Tuesday," Blaine explained. Cooper whined but then paused for a second before saying,
"Can I talk to Kurt," he asked. Blaine handed Kurt the phone, leaning his head on Kurt's chest as Kurt's free hand pet Blaine's hair affectionately.
"Hey, Cooper," Kurt said, smiling as Blaine sighed contently.
"Hey Kurtsy," Cooper sounded like an excited puppy. "How are you doing?" Cooper knew he wouldn't get a completely honest answer out of Kurt, Kurt hid how he really felt from everyone, Blaine had usually been the only one that could tell the truth.
"I'm doing really good, Coop, how are you?" Kurt said and Cooper could tell there was nothing hidden in Kurt's response.
"I'm going to be an uncle," Cooper stated, "I'm ecstatic!" Kurt laughed,
"I'm glad, and I have a question for you." Blaine looked up at him slightly confused, but Kurt just smiled,
"I think you should move to New York permanently," Blaine sat up, and Kurt saw just how much the happy puppy look could run in a family. Cooper was silent for a moment before Kurt spoke again, "I know your main office is in L.A. but I know we'd both love to have you around more and I know Maggie will love having both uncles in her life more." Kurt knew this was something he was just dropping this on Cooper, but the past few months had shown Kurt how important Cooper was to both of them. "I know this is out of nowhere but…"
"I would have to go to L.A. for a bit to switch everything over so the main office is in New York, but considering my two favorite, soon to be three favorite people on earth in New York, I think that's a great idea."
"REALLY!?" Blaine grabbed Kurt's phone, "You'd really do that?"
"Blaine, you're my brother and you and Kurt are my best friends, I already have a place there, it makes complete sense that I should move there," Cooper stated. Blaine opened and closed his mouth several times as Kurt smiled warmly at him. "You still with me Blainey?" Cooper asked after several moments of silence.
"I just can't believe everything is falling into place," Blaine replied.
"You can't believe?" Kurt chuckled, this morning he'd thought his life was falling apart, now his future and family were there and it was all perfect.
It was another hour before Burt, Carole, Finn and Rachel came back. The door opened slowly, Rachel peeking her head in before grinning when she saw Kurt and Blaine curled up together on the couch watching one of the Harry Potter movies.
"We're done, it's safe," Blaine stated amused when he saw his sister-in-law. Rachel beamed and opened the door, followed quickly by Finn, Burt, Carole and lastly Noah Puckerman.
"Anderson," he beamed.
"Oh God, no," Blaine groaned, playfully as Puck stalked toward him. Blaine grabbed Kurt and moved him so that he protected Blaine, even as Blaine laughed. Puck moved from one side to the other trying to get to Blaine, but the curly haired man kept moving his husband so the was always in the way. Kurt rolled his eyes in exasperation but he couldn't help but grin, he'd missed this.
"He can't protect you forever," Puck claimed, as he gave up and sat on the love seat, watching the couple carefully.
"Actually I think he probably could," Burt stated as he smiled at the couple. Both Kurt and Blaine smiled softly, "How you doing?" Burt asked them both.
"Better than I've been in months," Kurt answered honestly, moving to be beside Blaine again, taking his hand. Blaine smiled sadly and nodded,
"Actually though, can I speak to you?" Blaine requested the older man. Burt looked at Kurt who looked confused and shrugged.
"Of course, kiddo, meet me in the kitchen?" Burt offered, unsure if this was to be a private conversation or not and headed into the kitchen, knowing Blaine would follow soon enough.
"You okay, Hun?" Kurt asked, concerned.
"Yeah, it's just time I started calling your father by his true title." Kurt opened his mouth to speak but Blaine kissed him silent. "I'll be back soon, I love you," he murmured, squeezing Kurt's hand before releasing it and heading into the kitchen.
Burt was sitting at the table, Carole slipped out quietly when Blaine entered even though there was a glass of iced tea on the table next to Burt's and Blaine couldn't help but shake his head and grin.
"What's on your mind, son?" Burt asked as he motioned for Blaine to sit.
"I've been with your son 10 years and it took me losing those 10 years to realize how disrespectful I've been to you." Burt looked flabbergasted at Blaine's words.
"Kid, if anything you've been too respectful," Burt claimed but Blaine shook his head.
"My father disowned me earlier today," Blaine admitted.
"WHAT?!" Burt roared, unknowingly summoning his son to outside of the kitchen door.
"It's fine, it was bound to happen one of these days, once he finally realized he couldn't change or control me," Blaine said sadly. "But it was the final straw in this decision. You've always told me to call you Burt, and I've always insisted on Mr. Hummel or Mr. Burt, blame the way I was brought up. I realize now that's so disrespectful, you aren't a mister, you are my dad, you were more of one that my own father was since I was 16." Both men had to blink away tears in their eyes, not knowing that Kurt was doing the same. "So if it's okay with you, I was wondering if I could call you dad?" Kurt had to clap a hand over his mouth to keep a sob from escaping, while Burt didn't bother as he let a soft cry.
"Oh kid, I've viewed you as my third son since you took care of Kurt after Junior prom." Blaine now had tears streaming down his cheeks as he let out a quiet whimper. "I'd be honored if you called me 'dad'," Burt said, pulling Blaine into a hug. Burt could never imagine having a better son-in-law. There was so much love in that relationship it sometimes took Burt's breath away. They would go to the ends of the earth for each other. Blaine had been a member of their family 10 years and now he was finally viewing them the way they'd always viewed him.
"Now what is this about your father disowning you?" Burt asked, anger back in his voice. Blaine smiled softly, it was nice to have papa bear Burt on his side. "What happened?" Blaine told Burt the story and begged Burt to calm down when Burt's face got red, his heart was medically fine, but Blaine wasn't taking chances.
"Cooper is coming here for Christmas now too," Burt said leaving no room for argument.
"I'll let him know," Blaine promised, wondering how he'd gotten so lucky.
"All right, go back in there before Puckerman starts chewing on the furniture," Burt nodded out the door. Blaine laughed at Burt's comment about Noah and headed back in there before turning back.
"Thank you for always being there for us," he said. Burt nodded,
"Just doing my job as a dad." He said that knowing Blaine's own father hadn't done so well. Blaine smiled,
"This is cheesy as hell, but I hope I'm at least half the dad to my daughter as you are to the three of us." Burt smirked,
"You're right, that was cheesy as hell," but Burt beamed at the comment. Blaine laughed as he went into the living room. "But you will be," Burt murmured once Blaine was out of earshot.
So this could have been longer, but I decided here was a good place to end it. I am entering the sprint of the final month of my semester at University, so I don't know when I'll get to update, but I will, I promise. Much love to my readers xoxoxo
