So so sorry for the wait guys I was out of the country for a few days, bad internet connection if I managed to get it excuses excuses I know. So anyway I'm not too sure about this chapter I think it's because it's now getting into the story and I'm deciding what parts should go where. So here it is.

It was Lunch time and Connor was sitting in the sand box by himself, something that he seemed to do a lot and had grown used to. He was interrupted by Caden running over to him with a huge smile on his face "Hey Connor want to come and play?" said Caden
Connor gave Caden a smile that was also filled with sadness "My mum said that I was not allowed to play with you again?"
Caden's smile left his face, he looked at the ground and turned away from Connor and started to walk away when he felt someone grab his hand "I thought you were my friend" said Caden with tears in his eyes
"I am, your my friend, we can still play but I don't want my mum to see because I will get in trouble" replied Connor looking equally upset as Caden
"So we can still be friends and we won't tell your mum" said Caden
"Yea I would like that, your my best friend in whole world, it will be our secret" replied Connor
Caden thought about this for a few seconds before tightening his grip on Connor's hand "I've never had a secret before, not one that I share with a friend"
"So do you want to go play?" asked Connor and they both ran off to the swings together hand in hand.
It was almost time for everyone to go home and there was kids running around and putting things in bags when Caden felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
Caden turned around to Connor smiling at him "hey" said Caden
"Hey, I just wanted to give you this, it's my drawing from the other day" replied Connor
"Wow it's really good and is that me and you?" said Caden hoping that the boys in the picture where them.
"Yes, I want you to keep it" said Connor
Caden pulled the picture to his chest and gave Connor a hug just as the bell rand signalling that it was time for everyone to go home.

That night Blaine told Kurt about his unfortunate morning with Helen, Kurt was just as shocked that someone had said these things to his husband. For a minute Kurt felt like he was back in high school as he was being told about all the homophobic things said towards them but he found himself suddenly not caring about the comments made towards him and Blaine once he was told about what Helen had said about their children.
Kurt was sat on the couch with his arm round Blaine while he rested his head on Kurt's shoulder, Kurt could tell that this whole situation had gotten to Blaine and after the thing's she said to him he was not surprised that Blaine was upset.
"Hey, honey I know what she said was awful but we can't let this get to us, this is the first person in years that has been against us" said Kurt as he kissed the top of Blaine's head.
"I know we can't but I just thought that the world had moved on from all this you know….I guess I was wrong" replied Blaine with sadness in his voice.
"I know but at the end of the day we know we are good people and we are good parents so that's all that matters, some hurtful things that some crazy woman said can never take that away from us" replied Kurt
Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes and pulled him into a kiss before standing up and heading upstairs to shower and change to help get rid of the day he had. Kurt Flicked on the T.V and sat going through the channels thinking about everything, 'when did life become this hectic' though Kurt, Karofsky was back and Kurt had agreed to help him and Blaine now seemed to have a crazy woman on his case. It was then that Kurt remembered it was Tuesday and he had agreed to meet Karofsky on Wednesday, tomorrow he would put on a brave front and face karofsky once again.
"Daddy, daddy, can you read me a story please" asked Leila as she climbed up and settled herself on Kurt's lap and handed him a book.
"Of course I will sweetie" replied Kurt pulling Leila closer to him, if there was one thing that made Kurt feel better it was his children; they had the ability to wipe away all the problems for a while.
Kurt finished reading Leila her story and she went off to play with her brother before dinner. Kurt heard the shower stop so he made his way up to his and Blaine's room to see if Blaine was ok, Kurt could see that the things said to him today were affecting him which bothered Kurt greatly as he Blaine usually dealt with this kind of thing together just forgot about it.
Kurt sat on their bed and fiddled with the throw that lay at the end of it waiting for Blaine to come out of the bathroom.
Blaine exited the bathroom with a white towel round his waist and stopped when he saw Kurt sitting on their bed. Kurt looked up at Blaine and immediately knew he was not ok, Blaine's eyes were red and puffy like they were when he was crying or had cried and that was when Kurt understood that this was more than just a few harsh words affecting him.
"Hey honey what's wrong" said Kurt as he made his way off the bed and walked towards Blaine
Blaine wiped his eyes and opened a draw pulling out some shorts and a t shirt, he faced Kurt and gave him a small smile "nothing, I'm just being stupid" replied Blaine as he moved round to the side of the bed and begin to dry and get changed
"Blaine you have been crying this is obviously something, we tell each other everything you can tell me" said Kurt
Blaine pulled up his shorts and sat on the bed, Kurt joined him and grabbed Blaine's hand lacing their fingers together, Kurt gave his hand a squeeze urging him to go on.
"I just….today really got to me, what she said about you and the kids and it also brought back memories from….from when my dad was not as accepting" said Blaine looking down at his fingers that where entwined with Kurt's
"Oh, I….im sorry, but at least he is ok with it now, I mean we all get on great when they come over and they love the kids" replied Kurt as he reassured his husband
"Yea I know, like I said I'm just being stupid" Said Blaine as he looked up into Kurt's eyes
"I think our monsters want will want feeding so let's get dinner ready ok, cheer up honey things will be better tomorrow" replied Kurt
Blaine laughed and stood up from the bed and Kurt followed "your right, how did I get so lucky to have you"
Kurt buried himself Into Blaine's chest as he hugged him tightly as Blaine rested his head on Kurt's "I'm the lucky one, were all lucky to have you, we all lucky to have each other" replied Kurt
They stayed like this for a while before the madness of dinner, bath time and bedtime began. Kurt prepared his things for work for the next day. Tomorrow would be the day he would meet Karofsky once again.
~o~
Kurt put his BMW in a space in the parking lot next to the coffee shop, He checked himself in the mirror and quickly prepared himself for what was about to happen 'you can do this, you can, be strong, I want Blaine with me, NO Kurt be strong' He said to himself. Kurt pressed the button to turn off the engine and opened the door; he climbed out and locked the car. 'This is it!'
The coffee shop was not very busy, he had been here a few times with Blaine when he had the chance but today he was here with Karofsky his high school bully and it all seemed so odd to him, Kurt never thought a day like this would come in a million years.
Kurt ordered his coffee and looked around, in a corner sat alone was Dave, Kurt walked up to booth and stood next to the empty seat.
"Hi, you made it" said Kurt acting strong but on the inside his stomach was turning and he had an urge to just run away
"Yea, thank you for coming" said Dave staring at Kurt "you can sit down you know"
Kurt reluctantly slid into the seat and placed his coffee in front of him "so, how have you been", Kurt picked up his coffee and took a sip
"Well, I have been…fine I guess, I've felt a little weird over this meeting but it's here now" replied Dave as he was doodling on a napkin in front of him
"Yes I have felt a bit weird over this as well but as you said it's here now" Dave gave him a quick glance and looked out the window
"So…you want my help right" Dave slowly nodded and put his head down looking at the napkin again "well then where do you want to start" asked Kurt
Dave shrugged his shoulders and looked at Kurt "Don't know, where should I start?"
"You said you came out and that you lost family and friends, surely you didn't lose everyone" asked Kurt
"No, I still talk to my mom and I have a few friends at work but my dad was not happy about it, Azimo and the others ditched me after I came out and I have not heard from them since" replied Dave
Kurt was trying to think of comforting words but he couldn't not yet anyway not towards Dave "well I hate to say it but Azimo and the others well that was kind of expected but your dad, the time I met him he did not seem that bothered about it, even about me" replied Kurt
Dave grunted a laugh "he was ok with you because you're not his son, he's ok with a lot of stuff as long he's not involved but when I told him about me it was now real and he was involved, he couldn't handle it and well…he left and I have never seen him since" Dave sighed and continued "of course my mom was upset about this and I could tell she blamed me, we still talk and get along ok but we have never been the same and the rest of my family don't talk to me much now either" Dave slumped back into his seat as he told this hard part of his life
Kurt was beginning to feel sorry for him but there were still walls that needed to be broken and this could only be accomplished by digging deeper
"I am sorry about that, I don't know what that must be like but I am sorry, what about your friends at work" asked Kurt
"They don't know i...im gay, I don't want people to know unless necessary or I will lose them just like years ago"
"well I can understand where you're coming from but I think you should have a little more faith in people, I don't meet a lot of people that are not ok with it now a days" said Kurt instantly biting his cheek as the image of his husband after his crying session yesterday over what Helen had said to him popped into his head
"It's ok for you though, you have a family and people to support you, I have no one that truly cares Kurt or that will listen" replied Dave now getting a little angrier
"I'm listening now aren't I" Replied Kurt and Dave just gave him a glance
"Will this even help me Kurt, Is it too late I mean look at you, you have a husband and two kids and a home as well as a career, what have I got?"
Kurt could now see part of the problem "Dave…you can't compare our lives, you can't compare anyone's lives, Yes I'm very lucky to have all of that but me and Blaine got married young and started a family young because that's just…well what we wanted" he gave Dave a glance to check he was still listening "People were against it, not because we are gay but because of how young we were, but me and Blaine knew what we wanted and we still did everything even though people were not too happy about the idea, I mean most people are just beginning to do those things at our age now"
Kurt took another sip of his coffee "it's never too late Dave"
"you think so?" asked Dave
Dave stared into Kurt's eyes "yes of course I think so, you have your whole life ahead of you and plenty of time to find someone and settle down if that what this about, is it" asked Kurt
"well, I never really thought about it much, the whole boyfriend thing I've thought about a few times but I just don't know where to start with that, I'm not really the relationship type, and when I saw you and your kids at the store last week it just made me think you know like…should I be settling down by now" Dave took a sip of his coffee and Kurt nodded prompting him to go on "I have never had a proper relationship Kurt and whole child thing well, I don't know if I would be a good dad and I know it comes with the whole being gay thing but adoption and surrogacy it's like…well I want to have a child with the person I would love which obviously is not possible, and no offense by the way"
Kurt seeing a side of Dave he had never seen before, a side that proved he could be caring and look at life a way other than pushing the smaller people around
"Dave as for the boyfriend thing you just need to get out there, there are plenty of ways to find people, I'm not an expert as I'm married to my only ever boyfriend and as for the child thing well…I'm not offended by what you said I can understand that's what you want, but trust me once a child is given to you to have forever you could not care less if the child is actually yours or not"
Dave gave him a disbelieving look and Kurt smiled a little "Yes really I mean take me and Caden for example, he's Blaine's , he's not biologically mine but he is my child, I love Caden more than anything in the world and love him just as much as Leila, I would die for my kids no matter what" replied Kurt proudly as this subject was not something he ever really had to address to anyone "and don't get me started on Blaine and Leila I swear Blaine's arms were welded to her for the first five months of her life"
"What I'm trying to say is Dave that one day you will find the person that you will want to spend the rest of your life with and if you decide to have children whether it be adoption or surrogacy you will love that child more than anything till the day you die and you have time for that, it's not like you need to find someone and have kids with them this instant" added Kurt to his speech that he even found surprising because it was aimed at Dave.
Dave watched Kurt talk about his family with such passion and love that he could see settling down obviously did something good to a person, especially Kurt "well I will take your word for child situation but the boyfriend thing I'm not so sure on I mean…it's just something that…I find hard" replied Dave
"It will be because yes you came out but you are not totally out to yourself and the world, you need to be proud of who you are before you can find the right person" Said Kurt
They had a moment of silence and they both soaked in the fact that they actually had a conversation that did not involve anger, slushies or lockers
"Kurt…I…I really am sorry for everything in high school you know" Said Dave truthfully
Kurt did not have a reply; he did not forgive him so how could he reply to that so he just nodded his head instead
"So where are you living now a days" asked Kurt trying to get rid of the old memories that were flooding back
"I rent a small apartment just outside of town" replied Dave "you?"
Kurt glanced out the window and back to Dave "Highland lakes, Torrey pines avenue" replied Kurt
"Wow, you sure got it good Kurt" Said Dave looking down at the Napkin
Kurt just smiled and looked away, he did like his life but he didn't like to rub it in people's faces even it was Karofskys.
"Well I should be getting back I have some paper work to do for work and stuff to do at home, but we should do this again sometime" Said Dave quickly
Kurt was a bit confused he thought he would want to discuss everything, maybe he was rubbing his life in Dave's face 'damn damn damn look what you have done Kurt' he thought to himself "Eeerrr ok sure, here my number" said Kurt as he took the napkin Dave was doodling on and wrote down his number
"thank you Kurt you…you have kind of helped me but I just need to think things through you know" replied Dave as he put the napkin in his pocket "Il see you…well Il see you next time we meet up Kurt" said Dave and he walked out of the coffee shop and got into his car.
Kurt also walked out and started the car 'well that went better than expected' he thought to himself and drove back towards home.
~o~
Kurt returned home to find Blaine in his office going through some paper work on his desk. Kurt slowly walked up behind him and put his hands over Blaine eyes "guess who" he said cheerfully
"Wow I just don't know who it could be, maybe a gorgeous, loveable, fashionable diva that happens to be my husband" replied Blaine grinning and playing along with Kurt's game
"Damn every time" replied Kurt
Blaine spun round the chair to face Kurt and pulled him onto his lap "so, how did it go with Dave"
"Surprisingly well actually, we discussed a few things and he wants to chat again sometime, he left quite suddenly but apart from that it was fine" replied Kurt as he played with Blaine's curls
"I'm happy for you, did you do the right thing then by meeting him" asked Blaine
"I think I could say yes to that" replied Kurt as he lent down and kissed Blaine
"I'm off to pick the kids up in an hour but while I'm gone would you be able to run these to Mrs Harriet, she's getting anxious over her latest charity ball and wants the plans immediately" said Blaine
Kurt got off Blaine's lap and picked up the folder "sure"
Kurt returned home to be tackled by his two children wanting hugs and telling him what they did today and of course Kurt went along with it and listened and hugged and laughed to everything they told him "where's daddy" Kurt asked Caden
"He's in the Kitchen and he's being very quiet" said Caden
'Oh god, if that damn woman has said something again so help me' thought Kurt as he walked into the kitchen to find Blaine sitting at the island "Hey babe, what's up?" asked Kurt
Blaine looked up at Kurt and smiled "Nothing really I was just waiting for you to get home" replied Blaine
"Oh ok, so there were no crazy lady attacks today then?"
Blaine let out a giggle "No, there was not"
"You sure there's nothing bothering you" asked Kurt and he raised an eyebrow at Blaine
Blaine gulped, he loved it but also hated it that Kurt knew him too well "I don't know Kurt I…I just I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know what" replied Blaine
"Oh…well is…is it bad" said Kurt not liking where this could go
"No, no it's not bad it's just weird, I'm sure it nothing important" replied Blaine as he watched his children colouring in the dining room
"Well, when you know what it is that you need, tell me ok"
Blaine smiled at Kurt "As if I wouldn't tell you" said Blaine
~o~
Dave was driving round the unfamiliar roads, the roads that were scattered with houses he could not afford in his wildest dreams, perfectly mowed lawns, long driveways filled with expensive cars, that's what he was focussing on, the cars, he was looking for one imp articular
He found it, the Black BMW that he had seen not long ago at the coffee shop, He had found Kurt's home. His heart ached at the sight of the house and the memory of Kurt telling him about what he had, a husband, kids, the house, the cars and the money. Kurt had it all and Dave knew he was jealous who wouldn't be but he had to speak to Kurt again. He sat parked on the opposite side of the road just a bit further down from the house.
Dave stepped out of the car and walked up the pathway which leads to the steps which then further lead to the door.
Dave reached out and pressed the doorbell twice
Blaine and Kurt where flipping through magazines while their children were drawing next to them when they heard the door bell
"Il get it" said Blaine as he put down vogue and headed to the door, he opened the door and nearly fainted Karofsky was on his doorstep, he was in front of him at his house
"D…Dave what are you doing here" said Blaine worriedly as he held the door as it was probably the only thing holding him up right now.
~o~
So there we have it, I will try to update as soon as possible but it's getting a little harder to get it done fast now I'm getting the main story (beginning of the main story, don't worry its far far far from the end) I hope you liked it. Also the address not sure if it's correct it was an address I googled that had houses for sale there and I thought why not I'll put them there. I know that for what's happened (Kids, marriage, Uni, career) is a bit farfetched for their age but hey it's what I imagined so it's how I'm going to put it. P.S if you have not seen the promo for the new glee on the 19th I suggest you watch it now. Don't want to spoil anything but when Blaine pushes Karofsky! Protective boyfriend moment! The wait is killing me! I'm rambling now so I'll stop!
Please review they mean the world to me
