Hi guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have 2 more chapters written but I don't really know what I am going to do once they have been posted, because I don't really feel that anyone is really that bothered, but I will see. I don't mind posting but I kind of feel like I am wasting my time, if you want me to continue then can you let me know because I really don't have the motivation at the moment.
Thanks guys
Calo x x x
Nick and Jeff saw the platters of food that were beginning to come out, and although they knew that what they had asked of Hunter was difficult for him; they hoped that he would go through with it. They both saw him walking towards them, and smiled in encouragement. He returned the smile as he reached their table, right in the centre of the room, and began to set the covered plates down in front of each guest. By the time all the plates had be settled on the table, none of the Warblers had recognised him. Hunter nodded to the other staff members and they began to take the covers off of the dishes, revealing the exquisite food that had been prepared. Every single guest had something that they could eat, and despite the long, tedious time that it took, everything had been planned down to the last letter, meaning that all allergies and dietary requirements were fulfilled. Hunter had even taken time to make sure that Calo and the twins had appropriate portions. Just as he was about to walk away, Kurt looked up at him,
"Oh, Hunter, there you are. I was looking for you after the wedding and I couldn't find you anywhere." As soon as Hunter's name had come from Kurt's lips, all the Warblers looked up at Hunter and he saw the recognition cross each of their faces. Blaine managed to say incredulously,
"Hunter? What are you doing here?" Hunter sighed and handed the plate covers he had to Aelish as she passed him,
"I own the restaurant." As he said that, the Warblers' expressions intensified,
"Wow," was all Trent could get out. Nick decided to cut in,
"Hunter, do you want to sit down? I know you insisted on working, but you were invited as a guest as well." Hunter shook his head,
"Thank you, Nick, but I am okay. If the little rascals become too much though, just let me know and I will come and get them." Nick nodded and was about to speak, when Blaine cut in,
"They are your sons?" Hunter looked at the dark haired man,
"Yes, they are mine, Blaine." Blaine nodded,
"Oh, how old are they?" Hunter smiled, as Dalton and Sebastyn waved at him,
"They are 4." As everyone looked at Calo in shock, Mrs Sterling said,
"Four?" Hunter laughed lightly,
"Yes, even Calo. Oh, I will be one minute." He grabbed a tray and some napkins before heading over to another table, where someone had spilt some wine, leaving everyone at the centre table to take in the information they had just received. Dalton suddenly piped up,
"That is my papa and he is the bravest, most bestest person ever." That had everyone in fits of laughter.
Once everyone had eaten and all the plates had been cleared away, they were going to start on speeches and dances, and so on. Wes, David, Blaine and Sebastian stood on the makeshift dance floor and everyone was now concentrated on them. Wes spoke first,
"When the four of us first met Nick and Jeff, we met two weird, crazy, cheeky, mischievous teenage boys. They used to wreak absolute havoc at Dalton; I honestly don't know how neither of them got expelled, what with all the pranks and practical jokes that they played, but we wouldn't have changed them for anything." Everyone chuckled a little and David took over,
"Well, now 5 years after they first got together, we can safely say that they are still weird, crazy, cheeky and mischievous but now it isn't Dalton that has to deal with them, it is New York. I don't know how people can deal with them, we certainly struggled, but, as Wes said, we wouldn't change either of them for the world." Many people awed, and Hunter sat down in Kurt's seat, because Kurt was sat in Blaine's, watching his husband intently. Calo shifted into his lap, earning an adoring smile from Jeff as Blaine took over,
"Nick, Jeff, when I first met you, honestly, you absolutely terrified me. I remember the first time Jeff went to hug attack me and I freaked, I couldn't relax for, like, a week. Yet, over the years, I slowly got used to your crazy antics and I would like to say that by the end I could withstand a sneaky hug attack, but I'm not sure." Jeff chuckled to himself, while Nick grinned adoringly at his husband. "When you asked me to be one of your best men, I can't tell you how happy I was, you guys are some of my closest friends, you have helped me through so much and supported me all the way, and I am just so grateful to you and so happy that you two finally got on with it and got married, because you deserve to be happy and you deserve to have an amazing life together." People were tearing up a little, but now it was Sebastian's turn.
"Well, honestly, there isn't really much more that I could add. I know that the two of you have been waiting for this for a long time and I know that you wanted everything to be perfect. I really hope that we had helped you to make that, admittedly, very pedantic, wish come true because, as Blaine said, you deserve nothing less than perfection. I truly believe that this will be a day that we will all remember, because it was the day that you two finally got your act together and tied the knot after so many months, and I honestly couldn't be happier for you guys." Sebastian smiled, and they raised a toast to the two grooms, who then stood up and made their way to the dance floor to speak.
Nick took Jeff's hand as he took the microphone; he smiled at his husband and squeezed his hand,
"Firstly, I want to thank you all for coming today. For Jeff and I, this is something we have been planning for a long time and it is something that wouldn't have been possible without you all being here. Jeff, being the perfectionist he is, wanted every detail of today to be perfect. I don't know how many of you noticed the name, but this restaurant is called The Dalton Kitchen. When we discovered this place, I cannot tell you how excited we were. Jeff was on the phone instantly, trying to make arrangements with the poor girl on the other end of the phone." Hunter smiled over at Aelish who giggled slightly, evidently remembering the phone call as clear as day. Nick smiled and continued, "When our booking was confirmed not even 24 hours later, I think Jeff almost had a heart attack, we both knew how highly in demand this place was, and we hadn't been sure that we would even be able to book it out. We arrived here on a Monday night, and were met by one of the sweetest girls we had ever met. Now let me tell you, trying to sort out food for everyone here tonight was not an easy feat, and I think we drove the poor girl mad. I ended up asking to speak to the manager, and neither Jeff nor I knew how much that one request would impact upon the both of us." Jeff smiled at his husband, and took the microphone.
Calo was settled comfortably on Hunter's lap now, dosing a little. Dalton and Sebastyn were sat on Jeff and Nick's moms' laps, listening intently. Jeff began to speak,
"When we were at Dalton with all the Warblers, there was a boy there who we were both great friends with. In our junior year, he disappeared, he was gone; and nobody knew where he'd gone to. When the two of us, and 3 of our best men, saw the manager enter the room, I remember thinking only one thing and I was so shocked, we all were. That evening was very eventful, but it was so amazing for us all to see him again after so long.
Over the past few months we have become really close to him again, and we both want to thank him profusely for the help he has given us, and for allowing us to crash his restaurant for the evening. So, thank you, Hunter we really can't express how much we want to thank you for making our perfect wedding that little bit more perfect." Hunter felt tears well in his eyes and sniffled a little, blinking to keep them back; barely succeeding.
By the time he had managed to compose his emotions, Jeff had set down the microphone, and he and Nick had begun their first dance. Hunter felt a few, traitorous tears slip down his cheeks as he watched them, they looked so happy and in some ways he felt a little jealous, but they were so amazing together and he couldn't be happier that they were together.
Once the music was in full swing, Hunter watched as Dalton and Sebastyn went to dance with the Warblers. Calo had drifted off, so Hunter carried him round, clearing the tables bit by bit, and leaving just the drinks out. A slow song came on and Jeff managed to drag Hunter onto the dance floor. It was little awkward, what with Calo sleeping on his papa's shoulder, but they managed. Hunter and Calo danced with a few others, ending up with Sebastian, who they stayed with for several dances.
Once the cake had been cut, a huge 4 layer chocolate cake, people started to take their leave. Nick and Jeff weren't going on a honeymoon because they were saving up their money for a new apartment and they felt like they didn't really need one. Soon just the Warblers, the two grooms, Hunter and the 3 boys were left, along with the staff. Aelish took Hunter's apron and told him to take the boys home. Jeff and Nick were going to a hotel for the night, along with most of the Warblers but Sebastian was going with Hunter and they were all planning to meet up the next day at Wes and David's huge house for a barbecue.
Adam was away that night, so when Sebastian and Hunter staggered, tiredly through the door, they weren't disturbing anyone. Seb got Dalton and Sebby ready for and into bed, while Hunter was sorting Calo out. Sebastian walked into Hunter's room, gazing at the gorgeous man whom he was dating. Hunter chuckled as he caught Sebastian and quietly said,
"Come on, hurry up and get in the bed." Sebastian smiled and stripped down to his boxers and under shirt, uncaringly leaving the suit rumpled on the floor, before snuggling into the bed behind Hunter, who had Calo clutched to his chest. It had been an amazing day and night, and Hunter was extremely excited for the barbecue. It had been so long since he had seen all of the guys, and it would be really nice to be able to catch up with all of them. Plus, Wes and David had a pool so he would be able to start teaching Calo to swim, while letting Jeff cuddle and fawn over the tiny boy.
Over at the hotel, Nick and Jeff were cuddled up in the honeymoon suite. They had both had the most amazing day; better than they could have ever imagined. Jeff suddenly said,
"How long do you reckon it will take Hunter and Seb?" Nick smiled over at his husband, who looked to be in deep thought,
"I don't know, honey; they are dating already but what you have to remember is that Hunter has a lot to consider, unlike the rest of us, there are 3 extra factors in his life that will always be his first priority." Jeff nodded,
"Those little boys are adorable. Do you think Hunter will ever tell us what happened? I know it can't be good considering how much he avoids talking about it, but I feel like we could help him if we knew what happened." Nick nodded, pressing a kiss to Jeff's hair,
"You are right, honey, but I am sure that he will come to us when he is ready. Until then, we can just help him with what we can and you can spend lots of time with Calo." At the mention of the little boy, Jeff's face lit up,
"He is so sweet and adorable, I love him so much." Nick chuckled softly,
"I know, honey, I know."
It didn't take long for them to drift off, both of them anticipating the barbecue that would be happening the next day; Jeff excited to see Calo and Nick excited to spend time with all his friends. Yes, it had been an amazing day…
