Hi guys here's chapter 8 I hope you like it, I'm really focussing on family and taking a break from Karofsky and the angst. I am not sure when Karofsky will be back but it will not be for at least 2/3 chapters. I may also put in another flashback at some point as I got positive feedback on it. There is a very small racist comment in this chapter - I'm sure you can guess from which character

~o~

Kurt was had everything in order; the dinner was on, the kids were clean and he finally got them into their smart attire and now all he was waiting on was for Harvey and Emily to arrive for the day.

Blaine was sat with Leila playing a game the she had insisted on Blaine playing with her because she didn't trust her brother not to cheat and Caden was sat in the kitchen watching his daddy prepare the dessert.

"Daddy can I pleeeaase have some now!" whined Caden, his head down and his chin resting on his arms

Kurt smirked at his son's adorableness "No sweetie not till after dinner"

Caden let out a defeated sigh and let his head fall to the side

"Hey, don't mess up your hair that took me too long to tame for you to ruin it now" said Kurt as he ran round and carefully pushed some loose curls back behind Caden's ears. Kurt often found any excuse he could to play with Caden's hair because he loved the soft mop of curls he had been given from his father and with Blaine Kurt made excuses and just did what he wanted as Blaine had long ago learnt that no matter how much he complained or stopped Kurt from touching his hair it would do no good and Blaine secretly enjoying it too may have been a small factor.

The Hummel-Anderson family were all disrupted when the doorbell rang signalling that the Andersons had arrived. Blaine got up off the living room floor and Leila followed behind him. Blaine opened the door to reveal Emily and Harvey stood with wide grins on their faces as they were greeted by their son and granddaughter.

"Grandma, grandpa!" shouted Leila as she ran towards them not knowing which one to go to first

"Wow, there she is, you're getting big princess" exclaimed Harvey picking up Leila and pulling her into a tight Hug

Emily laughed at the two and turned to Blaine with her arms open for a hug

"Hey mom" said Blaine as he too smiled at his dad and his daughter

"Oh I have missed you so much Blaine" said Emily as she took in the scent of her son and let go of him to look at his face

"Your so much like your father you know that"

"Thanks mom" Blaine said sarcastically

"Hey" shouted Harvey pretending to be insulted. He put Leila down and pulled his son into a hug

"It's so good to see you son"

""It's good to see you too dad, I have missed you"

"You too son" replied Harvey as he saw Caden come bounding into the hallway

Harvey let go of Blaine and watched his grandson run to his grandmother as she pulled him into hug and then run up to Harvey "There he is my little man, how are you buddy"

Caden looked into his grandpa's eyes and smiled "I'm great grandpa, I have a new friend and he gave me this" replied Caden as he held up his wrist with the band on

"Wow, let's get inside and find your other dad little man and then you can tell me all about it" said Harvey just as Kurt walked into the hallway as Blaine closed the door after the rush of hugs and greetings

"Mom, dad" said Kurt excitedly

"Oh Kurt there you are, come here and give me a hug" said Emily as Kurt wrapped his arms around her and then pushed her away to view her clothes

"I see you got the cardigan I sent you" said Kurt with a grin

"I certainly did honey and I must say it is amazing"

Kurt smiled as Harvey walked up to him and held out his arms

"Kurt my boy, how are you, keeping my son in line I hope" he said with a chuckle

Kurt released from the hug and laughed along with him "certainly"

Blaine pretended to be hurt and smiled at his husband "shall we take this into the living room"

Everyone sat comfortably in the living room; Leila and Caden sat on their grandparent's laps, normally they would be on their dad's laps but not when there were grandparents around.

"So how have you two been?" asked Emily

Blaine shifted slightly and pulled his legs up onto the couch "we have been good thanks"

Harvey gave him a small glare and decided to question Blaine's lack of enthusiasm in the answer "that was not very convincing son, are you sure?"

Blaine and Kurt gave each other a small look and Kurt sighed

"Oh no you two aren't…having problems are you" Emily thought for a second about what she said and regretted asking it "I'm sorry that's none of my business…forgive me"

"No mom we are not having problems…we are fine, there has just been some things going on lately that have not been so great" replied Blaine

Harvey gave them both a look and then looked down at his grandchildren "Hey you two monsters, why don't you go and play while me and grandma talk to your daddies"

Caden and Leila gave each other a look with small grins on their faces "Ok grandpa" they said in unison and they both left the room hand in hand

"So boys what's been going on" asked Harvey

Blaine let out a sigh and turned to Kurt

"You know that boy Dave Karofsky" said Kurt

Bothe the Andersons nodded

"Well, he came back and he's caused some trouble and it seems he still harbours a small crush on me", Kurt felt Blaine's glare

"I would hardly call it a small crush on you Kurt, he keeps asking about our family, said he hates me and that he should be the one in my position" said Blaine his voice now a little rose. Blaine may have looked passed it but It was still a sore subject.

"Is this true…Oh my…so what happened what have you done about it" asked Emily

"I told him I don't want to see him again and I haven't heard from him since" Kurt turned to Blaine and gave him an odd look "you haven't killed him have you?"

Blaine grinned "No, luckily you stopped me from doing that after you told me"

"Well I'm sure he's learnt his lesson by now…anyway let's move on something more positive"

Blaine took Kurt's hand smiled, Kurt knew what was coming next and what Blaine was about to say.

"Well mom, dad we have some news, it's not happening yet but me and Kurt have decided…we are going to have another child" announced Blaine proudly

Harvey and Emily mouths fell open and they both stared at their son and son in-law

"When did you decide this boys" said Emily taken by surprise

"Well it not happening yet as Blaine said, it will be a year or two before we actually have another child but yes that is our plan"

"Well we are very happy for you both and we both feel very sorry for you too" said Harvey followed by a laugh

"I'm sure we will manage dad, after all you both managed with Carla, Brandon and me"

"I have no doubt about you managing Blaine, we managed ok because there was a nice amount of time between you, your brother and sister, you are great parents you will do fine" said Harvey

"Thanks dad" replied Blaine, Blaine loved to be praised by his father after the few years his father did not really accept him.

Dinner went well and the conversations were kept until Blaine had told his father about Helen, Harvey did not seem to impressed either and started to get angry about the whole situation, Kurt and Emily spent most of dinner talking about fashion, television shows and vogue.

~o~

Connor sat watching TV with his brother, normally his Brother would be out with his friends but today was different for some reason and Connor was glad whatever the reason was because he truly loved spending time with him.

Connor didn't notice that he was slowly pulling the band round his wrist that symbolised his friendship with he had with Caden, His Brother Mike was watching him wondering what it was and realised his sister had made them once

"What's that little dude" asked Mike

Connor looked down at the band and went white as a sheet "I…its nothing, please don't tell mom"

Mike was confused at this and tuned the TV off to speak to Connor "what, why…it's one of those friendship bracelets right?"

Connor nodded and looked up at him through his eyelashes

"Then what's the matter, why can't mom know, did you steal it from sis's room?" asked Mike concerned

"No I didn't steal it, I made them and gave another one away"

"Then what's that problem little bro, you can tell me, I won't tell mom" said Mike reassuringly

Connor gave him a small smile and looked around to check his mother wasn't there "It's my friendship bracelet and someone has the other one, I made them"

"Who has the other one?"

"Caden" said Connor his voice now lower

Mike nodded his head "Is Caden the kid with two dads"

Connor nodded

"Oh so that's why you don't want mom to know, don't worry I won't tell her" said Mike

"Really, because he is my best friend…he's my only real friend"

"Don't worry buddy its ok, mom is just…scared that's all"

Connor now looked confused "Why is she scared?"

"Because of Caden having two dads, it's not normal to her so she is scared of that" replied Mike

"I think it's cool that he has two dads" said Connor with a small smile

Mike looked Connor in the eyes "want to know a secret?" Connor nodded "I do too"

They both let out a small giggle and Mike put the TV back on for them both, little did they know that Helen was just around the corner and ease dropped on the conversation.

~o~

Both the Andersons and Hummel-Andersons were stuffed full from the meal Kurt had cooked and everyone especially Caden had enjoyed dessert as it was the only thing he was looking forward to all day just like his father Kurt thought.

"Well Kurt thank you for that dinner it was terrific, we should come here every week" Harvey said and everyone laughed

Blaine poured out his second glass of wine offered it around to the adults, Harvey declined any because of driving and Emily gave him a look which Kurt picked up on

"We always have the guest bedroom if you want to stay and have a drink" offered Kurt

Harvey looked at Kurt and then Emily and then turned to Blaine and lifted his glass "why not, pour away son"

Blaine laughed and filled Harvey's glass

The home phone rang and Kurt stood up "excuse me" he said as he made his way into the kitchen and went to the phone

CALLER ID: Alice Barnes

Kurt was surprised to see that one of Caden's teachers who also happened to be a family friend was on the line and picked up the phone

"Hi Alice"

"Oh hello Kurt, How are you?"

"I'm very well thanks, how are you?"

"I'm good, so I needed to ring you and tell what just happened"

"Is everything ok Alice I thought you would be ringing about Caden or Leila not to gossip" Kurt laughed

Alice also laughed which was followed by a sigh "Well this kind of is about Caden but don't worry, it's nothing bad as such"

"Ok go on"

"Well I just had a phone call from Helen and lets just she was not very happy"

"Oh no…what has she said now"

"Well she was not happy because she found out that Caden and Connor are friends and asked me to keep them apart during school hours"

"Oh right…so what does that mean, are you going to do that?"

"Oh god no, I'm not allowed to do that unless I know a child is harming another which Caden and Connor are not doing, You should see them Kurt they are so happy when they are together and Connor is much more happier now Caden has befriended him"

"Thank god, I know Connor has an impact on Caden too, he came home the other day with a friendship bracelet"

"Well don't worry I am not going to split them up, I told Helen I would just keep an eye out for Connor to shut her up, that woman has serious issues I mean last year she didn't want him near the new African/American student…I never told you that"

"What century does this woman live in, and my lips are sealed"

"Well I thought I would just inform you, I should be off, see you next week"

"Yes me too, thank you for letting us know"

Kurt put the phone down and walked back into the dining room

"Who was that honey?" asked Blaine

"Oh…just Mercedes giving me the gossip" said Kurt not wanting to ruin a perfect day, that would have to wait till tomorrow

~o~

Kurt and Emily were sat in living room with their Husbands in a deep sleep. Blaine had fallen asleep against Kurt who was lounging on the couch and Harvey had taken a couch to himself leaving Emily to take the arm chair and the kids were tucked up in bed fast asleep.

"Look at them, like father like son" said Emily smirking at her husband and son

"They certainly are, I say the same all the time about Blaine and Caden" replied Kurt

Emily smiled at the thought of her grandson "That boy is just too cute"

"He certainly is, they are growing up so quickly" said Kurt

"It only gets faster honey, before you know it they will be in high school, then college and married with children themselves" said Emily who was clearly looking back on her own life "But you have a whole new bundle of joy to look forward to in a couple of years"

Kurt was absentmindedly playing with Blaine's hair "that's true, I'm certainly looking forward to it…you know when I was a teenager and coming to terms with who I was…part of me accepted that I would never be father…but here we are planning our third chid"

Emily had a tear in her eye "Oh honey, If I'm truthful I don't think Blaine expected it either but then he met you and…you changed his life and his world Kurt…you and the kids are his world and I'm glad he has that"

Kurt smiled and looked down at his husband

"I think you Kind of saved him in a way" said Emily which Kurt looked at her with confusion

"Blaine I don't think would ever admit it to me but he was having a hard time figuring out who he is, the bullying, the issues with Harvey and the changing schools, I sometimes wonder if Dalton did him more harm than good and then he met you, went to McKinley and fought his demons which you helped him with" said Emily smiling at Kurt

"He certainly did, I was so proud of him for going to prom, he didn't admit it but I could tell he was scared of what would happen after the issues before"

"May I ask about the baby…who will be the father?"

Kurt looked up "I think we are both going to try and see who wins" Kurt said with a small laugh

Emily smiled "They will be fantastic whoever is the biological father, will you find out or do you not want to know?"

"well I think if its Blaine's we will know I mean look at Caden, he came out with identical hair and eyes and is practically identical to Blaine so if the baby comes out with a head of curly hair that should give us a clue" Kurt said followed by a laugh

Emily and Kurt woke their husbands up and made their way up to bed after a long day of eating, drinking and deep conversation. Emily spent the evening with Kurt looking back on her life while Kurt looked forward on his but this was just a new beginning for them all.

Ok there we have it , I'm not sure if I am going to do the short time jump in the next chapter ( about 18 – 24 months ahead to the birth of the baby) It would certainly fit in well after this chapter but I'm not sure yet. That short time jump will probably be about 3 chapters long and then I will have a major time jump around 8 years in the future. Karofsky is not gone don't worry but as I said I'm having a break from him. Just wanted to say how good was prom queen – one of the best if not the best episode I can't decide, only 2 more episodes left .

Please review and thank you all for your reviews.
