A/N: This one has a lot more of just Rebecca. This fic is not turning out the way I had planned, but I like it just the same. It only gets worse you guys just forewarning you.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of this.
"Miss Hannah, where's my dad?" Rebecca asked the woman in the play area.
"I will go see what is going on." She left the room to see if she could figure out why Blaine hadn't come into get his daughter.
"Bring her to me." Gregory told the woman.
Hannah brought Rebecca to Gregory's office and sat her down in front of his desk.
"Miss Anderson, your dad isn't gonna be here for a while." He told her.
"Why?" Rebecca asked.
"Your dad got very angry with me and I thought it best if you stay with us for a while." Gregory said to her calmly.
"Why!?" Rebecca yelled. "Daddy never yells at me, unless I did something bad!" She told him. "He yells, but Kurt calms him down. Is Kurt gonna pick up tomorrow?" She asked him. The man just shook his head.
The child when into hysterics. She was shouting and crying and threw Gregory's nametag off his desk. "I want my daddy!" She yelled. "Daddy!" She screamed running for the door. Hannah quickly stopped her and brought her back to the chair. The child sat there crying for her dad.
Blaine sat on the sidewalk in front of the building thinking he had heard his daughter scream for him. Knowing there was nothing he could do; he felt like he was going to die. He had never cried so hard in his life. He saw Kurt get out of a cab in front of him. Kurt didn't say anything to him. He gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went inside.
He walked into Mr. Thomas' office to much objection of the entire staff. "Kurt!" Rebecca yelled.
"You don't know him. You see him get pissed off one time and think that his daughter is better off with you." Kurt told him.
Rebecca saw the way Kurt's face was. She had never seen him without a huge smile on his face and this was scaring her a little bit. "Kurt?"
Kurt went over and kissed the child. "You think because the wife told you he was a bad father and kidnapped his daughter you know him and their situation. You don't." Kurt started again.
"Mr. Hummel? I presume?" Gregory asked him.
"Yes, that man sitting outside in the cold sobbing that the only person he cared about more than himself was taken away from him for no fucking reason is a thousand times the parent Veronica or Meredith Anderson ever have been. Get your fucking facts correct and completed before you tell that man he can't see his kid. He has given up more for her than you will ever know." Kurt told him and looked at Rebecca.
She didn't understand what exactly was going on. All she knew was that she wasn't going home and her dad was crying outside because of it. "Yeah!" She said and threw her fist in the air.
"Shh, kid." Kurt told her and she put her fist down. "Maybe you need to get the information from Veronica and Meredith. Maybe even William Anderson because Blaine is the only parent this kid has ever had."
"Mr. Hummel, we understand that you have feelings for Mr. Anderson, but there is nothing we can do at this point." Mr. Gregory told him.
"I'm not leaving here until I see Veronica and Meredith walk into this office and Blaine leaving with her." Kurt said pointing at Rebecca.
"Mr. Hummel—"
"Now!" Kurt told him.
Gregory was beginning to want to just send Rebecca home with Blaine if it meant not having to deal with screaming men for the rest of his life, but he knew he had to investigate. "As you wish." He said and picked up the phone.
"Veronica doesn't see Rebecca." He added. Gregory nodded.
"Okay, Rebecca want to go play some more?" Hannah asked her.
"Can Kurt come?" He asked hopping off her chair and clinging to Kurt leg.
Kurt bent down so he was level with her. "Look, I'm gonna go help daddy. You go play I'll see you in a little bit." He told her.
"Okay, I be strong for dad and good." She smiled and hugged Kurt.
"Good girl. I'm proud of you." Kurt said and kissed her brunette head. "Go play." He said pushing her out the door.
Kurt could hear Gregory talking to Veronica or Meredith on the phone. He walked back out to Blaine. "Hey."
"Where did you go?" Blaine asked him as he watched him sit down next to him.
"I went to talk to Mr. Thomas. He's calling in Veronica and Meredith." He told him putting his arm around the sobbing man's shoulder.
"Did you see Rebecca?" Blaine asked laying his head on Kurt's shoulder.
"Yeah, I could hear her screaming for you when I walked in. You really did a number on that kid. You gave her your vocal chords that's for sure." Kurt said trying to make Blaine laugh, but nothing. "She calmed down when I walked into the room."
"I figured. She really loves you." He told him. "Am I gonna get her back?" Blaine finally looked at Kurt with red puffy eyes full of defeat.
"We're gonna fight until you do." Kurt told him. Nothing else was said. They both sat there in the cold weather holding each other. A few photographers noticed and took several photographs of the two of them. Blaine didn't seem to care as he sat there in Kurt's arms.
"Rebecca, you need to eat something." Hannah told the child as she started down at her food.
"Daddy, would never give me this food." She said looking at the meal on her plate. It didn't look like a good meal and she didn't want to eat anything her father or Kurt hadn't made for her. "No." She said pushing her plate away from her.
"You're a growing girl." Hannah said and pushed the plate back to her.
Rebecca simply got up from the table and walked away. She didn't want anything to do with any of the people in this building. She knew what they were trying to do and she didn't like it at all. She went over and sat alone in a corner without any toys or food. She sat with her arms crossed staring at the door waiting for her dad to come in to take her home.
"How is she?" Gregory asked walking in. He looked over at the child sitting alone.
"She refuses to play with the other kids or eat anything until she sees her dad." Hannah in formed the man.
Gregory stared at Rebecca for a while wondering if there was anything he could possibly do to get to her understand the situation. "I wish I could let her father talk to her about this." He told Hannah. "But his anger makes me worry." A woman came and took Gregory from the play area. "Veronica and Meredith Anderson?" He asked the two women standing in his office.
"Yes, may I have my daughter now?" Veronica asked the man emotionless.
"Unfortunately, no. We've come across some information and I need to speak with both of you privately. Mrs. Anderson, would please wait in the hall?" He guided Meredith to the door and closed it behind him. He walked back over and motioned for Veronica to sit down in front of his desk. "Mrs. Anderson, what is your relationship with your spouse?"
"We're separated. The divorce papers are being filed." She told him with a large and false smile on her face.
"Where is your current place of residence? Please remember that lying can be looked at as obstruction of justice and there is jail time involved in that." Gregory told her. He was able to read body language very well and he knew that Veronica was uncomfortable and didn't really want to be there talking to him. The way she asked for her child made him believe that she wasn't doing this. That Meredith may be the instigator of this entire situation.
"I currently live in…" she trailed off looking out at Meredith. "I live…" She couldn't say it. What was more important? Meredith getting to see her granddaughter or her apartment? She took a deep breath. "I currently live in Miami, but I am relocating back to New York."
"Really? Why?"
"So I can be with my daughter." She said trying to sound sincere and only sounding terrified of the man sitting in front of her,
"Okay, admirable. Why did you informed us that your ex-husband had kidnapped her. We did some checking he's never moved. You left."
Kurt walked into the office knowing that Meredith and Veronica had arrived. He dragged Blaine along because it was cold and Kurt didn't need him getting sick. Blaine caught a glimpse of his mother and started for her. "Nope." Kurt said pulling him back. "You getting angry is what got us here. Stay calm and stay with me." Kurt dragged him to a chair.
"Where's Veronica?" Blaine asked him.
"Probably in with Mr. Thomas." Kurt replied gently stroking his agitated boyfriend's thigh.
"Um, Kurt I have a huge favor to ask." Blaine said looking at him.
Kurt had no idea what he could be talking about. "What is it?"
"Well, there's two things I want to ask you." Blaine paused. He didn't know how to ask Kurt these things. "One, seeing how you're always—"
"Yes." Kurt told him before he finished the question. "And two?"
"This is really hard for me because of all the time I've put into it, but right now I just don't feel as though I'll be able to do it." Blaine started.
"You want me to take over?" Kurt asked him. "Blaine, you've worked too hard for this. Opening in still a week away."
"If I don't get her back I want you on that stage being a million times better than me like you are every day at rehearsal."
"Mrs. Anderson, it has been three years since you've been in the state of New York, why now?" Gregory asked Veronica.
Veronica took a moment and looked around. She looked out the window through the blind at Meredith calmly sitting in the chair directly outside Gregory's office. "My mother in-law opened my eyes to what it means to be a parent." She replied.
"Alright, please send her in." Gregory told Veronica.
Veronica quickly stood and left the room. Meredith walked in looking as though she had already won this.
Against Kurt's objection Blaine rushed over to Veronica. "Why?" He asked her. "Why are you doing this? You want to see me break? Because that's what happened. I've broke. I know you hate me and that you blame me for everything that is wrong in your life, but don't you take it out on a five year-old. That child needs me. She needs a family with two parents that will love her no matter what." Blaine was almost screaming. Kurt didn't bother trying to get him to calm down because he knew that Blaine needed to say these things to Veronica and he knew that Meredith was going to get the same lecture.
"Blaine—"
"Don't. Don't you dare try to sound all sweet and innocent to me." Blaine was almost in tears again. He had lost complete control of his emotions and this was beginning to concern Kurt. If Blaine couldn't calm down he would lose every chance he had of getting Rebecca back. They had only taken her after he had blown up.
"Blaine, honey." Kurt finally spoke up and put his hand on Blaine's shoulder. "Come back over here and sit down. Let's not do this right now." He said trying to guide Blaine back to where they had been sitting.
"Kurt, stop. I want to know." Blaine pulled away from him and looked Veronica directly in the eyes. "Why?"
"Blaine, I told you your mom is threatening my rent."
"There is more to it than that. You don't like a hassle that's why you didn't want kids." Blaine told her sternly. "What the fuck does my mother have over you?"
"Blaine, you know your mother she's a great schemer and very convincing." Veronica told him. "She convinced you that you were straight."
Blaine looked into Gregory's office and saw his mother sitting there talking to the man with a large smile on her face. He reached for the door handle. "Blaine, don't." Kurt said placing his hand over Blaine's. "You go in there and yell at your mother you lose. She's gone forever. Don't risk that. They took her because they were scared of your anger; don't prove them right." Kurt told him. Blaine immediately took his hand off the handle and walked away.
"Kurt, it really is Meredith." Veronica tried to explain.
"Go back to Miami. You're not needed or wanted here any longer."
They both heard the door open and looked to see Gregory stepping out of his office with Meredith in tow. "Is Mr. Anderson here?" He asked Kurt.
Kurt pointed to where Blaine was sitting. Gregory could tell that Blaine was still fuming about the situation. "Be careful what you say." Kurt warned him.
Gregory simply waved Blaine over to the area. "I need to speak with you again." He told Blaine and walked into his office.
"Blaine." Kurt called out. "Keep your cool. If he pisses you off look out here at me until you calm down. Don't let him see you like that again. That's not you." Kurt told him and gave him a quick kiss.
"Faggot." Meredith said.
Gregory came out of his office once he had heard the word. "Please watch your language around here." He scolded the older woman. "We don't use that word."
"You one too?" Meredith asked the man in the suit standing in the doorway of his office.
"Yes." He said simply. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other in shock. They both began to think that Gregory may be a little more on their side after Meredith's comment. They knew that he couldn't make any decisions solely based on his sexual orientation, but they also knew that Gregory was not going to go easy on Meredith and Veronica. "Mr. Hummel, you as well." He motioned for the men to come into his office. Before Kurt and Blaine had sat down Gregory looked at them. "Is she always like that?"
"Don't know what you're referring to, but the answer is probably yes." Blaine told him.
"She's a real homophobe?" Gregory asked them.
"Oh yeah." Blaine answered. "I don't want to chit-chat what's happening with my child?" Blaine asked him.
"Well, I now know that Veronica does live in Miami, she admitted that. I know that Meredith has been blackmailing her. I know that Meredith is a homophobe and Veronica seems like a small one herself." Gregory stated. He looked at Blaine, who was not looking very amused by this. "And I also know that you have a small anger problem." He told him.
"Mr. Thomas—"
"Blaine, stop talking." Kurt told his boyfriend. "Mr. Thomas, I know Blaine hasn't shown who he is while speaking with you. I can honestly tell you that over the last few weeks that we have been seeing each other and I've practically lived at his house, he has not once raised his voice or his hand to Rebecca. She would be safe with him." Kurt told the man.
"I want to believe you and bring her in here and tell you all to go home, but I can't."
"She can't be put into the system." Blaine was almost in tears again.
"I'll take her." Kurt told him. "Give me the paper work. Do the background check. She'll live with me."
"Let me see my daddy first!" Rebecca screamed at Hannah in the play room.
Hannah was beginning to question why she went into this line of work. This child was suborn and was not going to back down until she had seen Blaine. So Hannah left the room and went to Gregory's office. "Can you let her him for one minute so he can explain?" She asked before she was addressed. "She is going crazy and won't eat or play. She's been sitting in the same corner for over an hour." Hannah told the room. Kurt and Blaine laughed to each other.
"That's my child alright." Blaine was still laughing.
"The stubbornness of Blaine Anderson seeped into the next generation." Kurt laughed.
"I can give you five minutes, Mr. Anderson."
Blaine almost jumped out of his chair and ran to the play room where Rebecca was still sitting in her corner. He walked in and she hadn't noticed him. She was singing My Own Little Corner from Cinderella on Broadway to herself sitting in the little chair. Blaine slowly walked over to her. She still hadn't looked up to see him. She figured it was some man trying to make her eat again. "I'm a huntress on an African safari." Blaine sang to her. She looked up and jumped onto her father.
"Can I go home now? I've already missed school and your Broadway practice." She told him.
"Baby sweet, we have to have a grown up talk." Blaine said taking her to a table and chairs. "You won't be coming home tonight." He said and she immediately broke into tears.
"Why? Don't you love me?" She asked him backing away from him.
"More than anything in the whole entire world. I don't want to leave you here I'm trying really hard to be able to take you home." He told her bringing her up to sit on his lap. She buried her face into his neck.
"Then why?" She asked through her sobs.
Blaine didn't want to tell her the truth, but knew that he had to. "Daddy, lost his temper with some people and they are worried that I do the same when I'm with you." He told her.
"But you don't. Make Kurt talk to them!" She said perking up. "Kurt makes everything better."
"I know. He makes it better for me too." He hugged his daughter tighter than he ever thought possible. He didn't want to let her go. "I want you to know that daddy and Kurt love you so much. Kurt will be here every day to talk and play with you until you come home I promise."
"Not you?" She asked him. She was giving him the look he loved and hated all at the same time.
"No, but don't you worry. Daddy will be back. I promise I will be back to take you home. Soon." Blaine hugged her again. He knew that it might not be as soon as he would like it to be though.
Over the next three days Rebecca had refused to eat or sleep or play with the other children unless Kurt had come in. Blaine had been so depressed he barely left his apartment and Ivan had made Kurt the lead in the show. He promised Blaine that he could come back as soon as he was feeling as though he was able to perform again. Blaine continued to go over the music and lines for the show. Kurt would record video messages from Blaine and show them to Rebecca and vice versa. Blaine would sit and cry while watching them knowing that he wasn't allowed to see his perfect daughter. Knowing that she was living in a group home and not eating properly or even speaking most of the time.
It was only three days before opening and Kurt had told Rebecca that he might not be able to make it to see her today because he had a ton of rehearsal before that Friday.
Rebecca walked over to Hannah. "Miss Hannah, is Mr. Thomas here?" She asked the woman.
"Yes, would you like to see him?" Hannah asked the child. Rebecca just nodded. Hannah picked her up and they walked to Gregory's office. "She wanted to see you, Mr. Thomas." Hannah told the man.
"It's fine. I'll bring her back." He told the woman. She left and closed the door leaving Rebecca and Gregory alone. "What is it, Miss Anderson?" He asked her.
"Why is my daddy not allowed here?" She asked him quietly.
"Sweetheart, has your dad ever told you about your mother or your grandma?" Gregory asked her. She shook her head telling him Blaine had never spoke of them to her. "Probably for the best." He chuckled. "Rebecca, your dad loves you so much. The reason you are here is because—"
"He lost his temper. He doesn't do that at me. He laughs and sings and watches Frozen with me all the time. He takes me Broadway practice and to school. Kurt and me and daddy go to the park. We're a family." She told him placing her hands on his desk. "Let me go home to my daddy." She started to slightly sob.
Gregory almost couldn't bear watching the child in front of him. "Do you promise me that your daddy never yelled at you?"
"Only when I was bad. Like when I let the bathtub get too much water in it and there was water all over the house." She told him.
Gregory laughed at the child. "You did that?"
"Yes, daddy was mad, but he made a game out of cleaning it up." She told the man.
Gregory saw the hurt in this child's eyes. It was the same look that he had gotten from Blaine days earlier. "You go and eat your dinner and then you and I are going to go for a little drive, but only if you eat all your food. Do we have a deal?" He asked her holding out his hand to shake hers.
"Yes." She said taking the man's hand.
Gregory took Rebecca back to the play room and sat her down with her dinner. She quickly devoured the food while Gregory spoke to Hannah. "I'm taking her home. Other than that outburst Mr. Anderson had while he was here there is nothing to tell me he has anger problems. If either Mrs. Anderson calls tell them I am unavailable and Rebecca isn't taking visitors. I don't care what you say just don't tell them the truth." He told the woman.
Rebecca walked over to the man and woman. "I'm done." She said with a huge smile on her face.
"All of it? The milk too?" Gregory asked her.
"Yup." She nodded hard.
"Go get all of your stuff." He instructed her.
The girl got a huge smile on her face as she ran to get all of her belonging and go for a drive with Gregory.
Blaine hadn't left the couch all day. Kurt walked into see him watching Frozen on repeat. "Get up." Kurt told him clicking off the television.
"I was watching that." Blaine muttered.
"Blaine, you cannot keep moping around."
"What do you want me to do, Kurt? Be happy my child was taken away from me? Try to put it all behind me?" Blaine asked sitting up.
"No, get mad that's what you should do. Just don't spend all of your time wasting away laying here on the couch every day. It's time to get up and start to fight!" Kurt told him. "Honey, I love you, but this, what you're doing, isn't the Blaine Anderson I fell for."
"Well, this is the Blaine Anderson you're gonna get until I have my kid back!" He yelled. They both heard a knock at the door. Blaine marched over and opened it. "What?" He snapped before seeing Gregory standing there with a sleeping Rebecca in his arms.
"She passed out on our way here." He chuckled.
Blaine didn't know if what was happening was real or not.
"Come in." Kurt said to him pushing Blaine out of the way. "I'm assuming that you're bringing her home for good?" Kurt asked him. He was answered with a slight nod of the head. "Here I'll take her to bed then." Kurt said pealing the child away from Gregory.
"Why?" Blaine asked him.
"I'm not an evil man, Mr. Anderson. I did what I thought best at the time. I realize now I was wrong. She hasn't eaten in days or slept. She only ate when Kurt was there and tonight because I told her we were going for a ride. She has no idea I was bringing her home; I think." He chuckled.
"She probably had a feeling." Blaine chuckled looking at her closed bedroom door.
"You've got a really smart kid. A kid that loves you more than I've ever seen. She asked to come see me today to talk about you." Gregory told him. "She told me she overflowed the bathtub and you made a game out of cleaning it up."
"We were racing to see who could the most towels before we were out." Blaine laughed.
"I can see that you're not that guy that I saw in my office. The way Kurt spoke of you while he was there and the way Rebecca talked about how amazing her daddy is." Gregory told him. "I will try to make sure none of this happens again." Gregory headed for the door without another word.
"Thank you, Mr. Thomas."
"My pleasure." He said and left the room.
"Kurt?" Rebecca asked waking up after he had put her in her bed. "Can daddy come see me tomorrow?" She asked him.
Kurt just smiled through his tears of joy. "If you can stay awake for a few more minutes you can see him right now." He told her.
Blaine walked into her bedroom in tears. Rebecca completely woke up and ran to her father. "Daddy!" She shouted as he picked her up and spun her around. "Am I home forever?"
"Forever and ever and ever and I'm never letting you leave." He said clutching her as though it was a dream and he was going to wake up on the couch with Frozen on repeat. Kurt sat on the bed and watched the reunited father and daughter take each other in and just smile together. "Now that you're home I want to ask you a very serious question." Blaine told her. Blaine whispered in her ear and she gasped and nodded her head fiercely. Blaine put her back on the floor and she ran over to Kurt.
She stood in front of him and put her hands on top of his. "Kurt Hummel, will you please move in with me and daddy?" She asked him with that Anderson smile Kurt was beginning to find irresistible.
"You used the kid?" Kurt laughed and asked Blaine. Blaine only shrugged his shoulders. "Since your father already asked of course I will move in with you guys. Nothing could make me happier."
Before Rebecca was able to get to where she could hug Kurt Blaine and come in and attached his lips to Kurt's. "This is gross." She spat out.
Blaine pulled away only slightly their lips still touching. "You be quiet." He told her and went back to kissing Kurt. He pulled away again. "I love you. I love you. I love you so much."
"I love you too." Kurt told him.
"I love you too." Rebecca said squeezing in between Kurt and Blaine trying to get some attention.
"Bed time." Blaine told her.
"What? I just got home." She pleaded.
"Lay down or Kurt's not moving in." As soon as Blaine said this Rebecca was cuddling down into her bed and had her eyes closed.
"You can't do that to her." Kurt smacked Blaine.
"Why not? It worked." Blaine said pointing at the child and they both walked out of the room.
"So do you want your part back?" Kurt asked him once they had gotten out into the living room.
Blaine sat there thinking. He had spent months preparing for this part, but he looked at Kurt and knew. "No. I'll be your understudy. That's the way it should have been anyways." Blaine told him. "You go and be perfect on that stage." Blaine said and kissed him. "I know you will be. I've done the lead in a musical thing. I want to do the supportive boyfriend thing now."
"You're sure?"
"Completely. I love you too much to take this away. And you're far too talented to be an understudy." Blaine started to just kiss Kurt's face. He didn't know where he was kissing, but knew it was Kurt and that's what mattered. That Kurt was there and was going to move in and Rebecca was home and they were becoming a family.
Alright, I want to warn you the storm is not over. And I want to point out the update time; one day. Pretty proud of myself right about now. I hope you guys are enjoying this fic.
