So, this is probably my last update before I go to California on the 22nd and stay there for 2 ½ weeks, I'll try to get another update in, but no promises. Oh, and the songs used in the last chapter where (In order): Tu Vuo' L'Americano, the Renato Carosone version, 1000 miles by Vanessa Carlton, Goin' Back To Hogwarts by Starkid, and Not Alone by Darren Criss. This is Monday, June 2nd 2014. This one is not really anybody's perspective, it's just like narrated, it doesn't follow anybody.
Reviews: To Lay: Thanks, I love the songs used too!
Disclaimer: If I have to say this one more time I'm going to die. I OWN NOTHING!
Kurt had just gotten home from work with Rachel and had settled on the couch when Blaine burst through the door with a huge smile on his face.
"I got the deal! It's here in New York, so I can record after school for a little while and on weekends," Blaine said.
"That's awesome honey! I'm so happy for you!" Kurt said jumping off the couch and jumping into his arms.
"I never thought someone I knew would get to go to the Grammy's before me," Rachel said.
"Aww, come on Rachel, you know you'll be there soon enough. Be happy!" Kurt said.
"I am! Don't get me wrong. I'm really happy for you. I don't know, I think it's these pregnancy hormones. I'm ready for these two to pop out any day now," Rachel said.
"You're due in 4 weeks, you'll survive," Kurt said.
"Maybe, we'll see. So Blaine, tell us about it!" Rachel said.
"Well, they reviewed some of our most recent videos and some videos from when I was a Warbler. Then they said they wanted to record me. Then we discussed prices," Blaine said.
"How much?" Kurt asked.
"They wanted to start me out on a 200, 000 dollar advance. The rest will depend on marketing," Blaine said.
Kurt's mouth dropped open. "Does that mean I can get that new pair of shoes I wanted?" he asked.
Blaine laughed. "Yes, Kurt, it does. You can yourself 10 pairs of shoes."
"Well we don't want to get too carried away. We should save up so we can buy a penthouse," Kurt said, smiling.
"That would be nice," Blaine said. "I think there's apartments available at The Dakota and at The San Remo."
"So when do you start?" Kurt asked.
"Next week. There's just a matter of the money and contract is all," Blaine said.
"Well, I think this calls for a toast!" Kurt said, and he walked into the kitchen and grabbed 4 flutes and filled them with sparkling cider. He then left one on the counter for Lily. He brought the other three into the living room, and Rachel stood up as Kurt handed her a flute, and then handed one to Blaine.
"A toast" Kurt said. "To Blaine! May the odds be ever in your favor!"
Rachel and Blaine both laughed and they clinked their flutes and drank.
"That was a really bad Effie Trinket imitation by the way," Blaine said into his glass.
Kurt laughed as he drank. "I know. I'm not as good as Sam."
"Nope, but that's okay. You're you and that's all anybody could ever ask for," Blaine said.
"Aww, aren't you sweet," Rachel cooed at Blaine.
"Hey back off, he's mine," Kurt said.
Rachel laughed and sat back down on the couch as Lily walked through the door.
"Hey Lily! You're late! Where were you? We've got great news!" Kurt said.
"That's great Kurt," Lily said, lost in her own thoughts. Eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked.
"Huh?" Lily said, snapping out of it. "Oh, well, um, this is kind of hard to explain. I was uh, talking to 2 people just outside."
"Who?" Rachel asked.
"Well, uh, Fin! You can come in now!" Lily said as she started pacing.
Finn entered and everybody was puzzled. "What are you doing here Finn?" Blaine asked.
"He's here because I asked him to. I thought he should be here when you guys got the news," Lily said.
"What news?" Kurt asked.
"News that will change your lives forever," Lily said.
"Did Barbara Streisand die?" Rachel asked, wide-eyed.
"No, she didn't die, something else," Lily said.
Rachel eased up. "What about the other person outside?" Blaine asked.
"Don't worry about them right now. They'll come in after I give you the news," Lily said, still pacing.
"So what's this life changing news? Are we all getting Maserati's?" Blaine asked.
"No, no Maserati's," Lily said.
"Than what is it? Spill it out!" Rachel said.
Wincing slightly, Lily pulled out a large manila envelope from her purse and slapped it on the coffee table.
The four stared at it. "What is it?" Finn finally asked.
"You know how I took hair samples from Rachel and Blaine to test them? Well, those are the results. They came in yesterday. It will show who your biological mother and father are," Lily said.
"I know who my mother is, but I don't want to know who my father is," Rachel defended.
"Oh trust me, you do. Open and read it," Lily said, still pacing.
Rachel still looked at it, not touching it. Finally Kurt picked it up and opened it. He took out two pieces of paper. He and Blaine looked at them together. They read the first page, and nothing looked life changing. But then they looked at the second page. It blew their minds.
"Rachel, look at this," Kurt said, trying to hand the pages to her.
"No, I don't want to know," Rachel said, pushing the papers away.
"Rachel Goddammit! Read these pages or I will stick them up your ass!" Kurt said, shoving the papers in her face.
Rachel reluctantly grabbed the pages and she and Finn looked through the pages. Their mouths fell open.
"B-but, how?" Rachel asked.
"That's what I would like to know!" Blaine said. "I want answers!"
"I knew you would, which is why I invited, um, well, uh. Okay! You can come in now!" Lily called.
The door open and in entered Phoebe Anderson. Blaine's mother.
"Please don't be mad at me!" Lily said, cowering a little.
"No Lily, I'm not mad. Thank you. Now, I can get some answers in person. Not just by phone," Blaine said. "ut there are a couple of people who need to be in this conversation as well."
"Who?" Kurt asked.
"Well, Cooper for one, and Rachel's dads'," Blaine said.
"On the phone?" Rachel asked.
"No, Skype. Rachel, you call your dads on your laptop and I'll call Cooper on mine," Blaine said.
"Oh, I guess that'll work," Rachel said. "But how will they see each other?"
"We'll set them across from each other, but not too close, and then the rest will sit in a circle so both computers can see all of us," Kurt said.
"Good idea boo. Finn, why don't you get a big box out of the hall closet, and Kurt, why don't you help me switch the coffee table and chair around?" Blaine said.
They set out to work and Finn returned with the box and set it next to the couch. Kurt and Blaine switched the coffee table and chair next to the couch so the table and box were across from each other and there were 2 other chairs across the couch, all in a big circle. Meanwhile Lily was still pacing. Phoebe was shifting awkwardly from foot to foot.
Blaine pulled out his computer and set it on the coffee table and bent down to log into Skype. He glanced up and saw his mom still standing awkwardly.
"You can sit down you know. You don't have to stand," Blaine said to his mother.
"Oh, thank you," she said and sat down in the middle.
Blaine logged into Skype and called his brother. Cooper picked up immediately.
"Hey little bro! How you doing?" Cooper asked.
"Good look-"
"Hey Anna! Come say hi to Blaine!" Cooper called out interrupting Blaine.
The blue eyed brunette popped onto the screen. "Hi Blaine! It's great to see you! Is Kurt there?" she asked.
"Yes I am!" Kurt said popping his head on screen next to Blaine.
"Hi Kurt! Look, we've been meaning to call to tell you the news!" Anna said excitedly. "We're getting married!" she all but screamed, sticking out her finger, where a 2 carat diamond ring sat.
"Wow! That's great you guys!" Blaine said.
"That's amazing Congrats!" Kurt said. "When's the big day?"
"We're not sure yet. Sometime next summer," Anna said.
"Well that's great, but we called because we need to have a family discussion," Blaine said.
"About what?" Cooper asked.
"Hold on, we have to get everybody else first," Blaine said.
Blaine set the laptop up so it could see the box perfectly when Blaine and Kurt moved, everybody could see the laptop.
"Mom?" Cooper asked. "And Rachel, Finn, Lily? What are you guys doing there?"
"I was just leaving," Lily said.
"No you are not Lily. Park your butt, you are a part of this conversation too, whether you like it or not," Kurt said.
Lily sullenly pulled a chair from the dining room and sat in between Phoebe and the box.
"Hi Cooper. And you must be Anna. It's lovely to meet you. Congratulations on your engagement," Phoebe half smiled.
"Well, um, thanks mom," Cooper said rubbing the back of his neck.
Kurt sat next to Rachel on the couch as she logged into her Skype account. He's known her password for forever 'Rach3lBarbaraB3rry!sAStar' it was long, but it suited her. She called her dads' and they picked up after the third ring, both sitting side by side.
"Pookie!" Rachel's dads' said with gigantic smiles. "How's our princess doing?"
Rachel was stoned faced. "Dads'," she said.
Their faces fell. "Uh-oh, We know that look. This is something serious," LeRoy Berry said.
"Oh my God! Is it the babies?" Hiram asked.
"Please tell me the babies are okay!" LeRoy said.
"The babies are fine. But there is a matter we need to discuss with you," Rachel said, not breaking her poker face.
"We?" Hiram asked in confusion.
"Hi!" Kurt popped his head into the screen shot.
"Oh Kurt! What do you and Rachel want to talk about?" LeRoy asked.
"Not just us," Kurt said, he took the laptop from Rachel's hands and set it on the box facing the other laptop. "All of us,"
Introductions were made and LeRoy asked "What do you guys want to talk to us about?"
Blaine sat in the chair closest to the table and in between Phoebe. Kurt sat on the couch next to Finn and Cooper. Rachel sat the other end, next to her dads'.
"Well, it all began when Lily took a hair sample from Rachel and I last week. And we got some shocking and interesting results," Blaine said holding up the pages Lily had brought home.
Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger! I guess you'll get to know next time I update. In the meantime, take a gander at what they're talking about by leaving a review!
