AN: PLEASE READ. So I have not updated this story in months (Nearly a year) and I am so so sorry, I have a million excuses but life kind of got in the way and I had the worst writers block on this story and what to do with it. I still want to continue with it and I have a small plan as to where it will go so I'm not sure how many more chapters there will be. Thank you if you are still sticking with this I know it's been a long time and again I'm sorry. (Sorry for any mistakes)

It had been eight years since the birth of their third child Toby. Eight whole years had flown by and things had changed drastically. Caden was now in high school, Leila was now a fourteen year old girl who was gradually starting to change into a woman much to the dislike of her fathers and Toby was an eight year old boy who loved everything from soccer to singing.

Kurt and Blaine's life was better than they could of imagined and their children were growing up to be responsible adults, well Caden was growing up into a young man and Kurt started to feel the years creep up on him and start to make him feel old.

~o~

Caden sat on his bed and watched his best friend as he shuffled through the movies on screen, Connor had been lucky tonight in being able to lie to his mother telling her that he was staying round a friend's house from a member of the football team. This was not entirely a lie it was just not the friend his mother thought it was.

"How about scream six, we did watch five last week…" asked Connor placing the remote next to Caden, his blonde fringe falling over his eyes as he looked at his friend waiting for an answer

Caden smiled and picked up the remote pressing play.

"Why not as long as you don't get scared again" played Caden who received a nudge in the arm from his best friend, they both let out a hearty laugh and stared into each other's for a moment until Connor laid back pulling the comforter up over himself.

"So what did you tell your mom you were doing tonight?"

Connor shifted awkwardly "I told her I was at Nathans house, He knows the situation and is cool with it, and he told me he would lie for me if she phones"

Caden nodded and there was a soft but awkward silence "I don't want to get you into any trouble Connor…I now she would be pissed at you if she found out"

Connor nodded and looked up at the screen as the movie started "I know but all I want to do is have a sleepover with my best friend and watch scary movies…plus…your worth it" he replied giving Caden a small smile.

They were interrupted by a knock at the door; Caden shouted for them to come in and sat up a little. Kurt came through the door with a try of popcorn, sandwiches, ice cream and a giant bottle of cola. "Caden I have been bribed into giving you both this tray of tooth decaying food by your father"

Caden laughed at his father and took the tray "Thanks dad you're the best"

"Hmmm I bet you say Blaine is the best when I'm not here…how are you Connor do you have everything you need for tonight"

Caden gave his father the exact same guilty look as Blaine and took a bite out of the chicken sandwich

Connor looked up at Kurt with a toothy grin and looked back at Caden "I'm great and yes thank you Mr Hummel-Anderson"

Kurt laughed "Please just call me Kurt I feel old when you call me that…right I will leave you to your food and terribly cliché horror movies" replied Kurt as he left the room and clicked the door shut

Caden had the appetite of his father and was already onto the popcorn, Connor sat back watching the boy he had come to adore and love "I wish I had your parents" he whispered

Caden stopped chewing and looked at Connor, his eyes filled with sympathy for the boy "I know its hard Connor but…you're a much better person than they are, you are going to grow up and be amazing and nothing like them I know it"

Connor looked up into the golden brown eyes and gave a small smile only to be interrupted by a loud scream coming from the woman currently being stabbed to death on screen. They both giggled and turned back to the movie. This was one of those times Caden realised just how lucky he was to have his dads.

~o~

Kurt shook his head while smiling as he closed his son's door and headed over the hall to his daughters room. Leila had grown up to be a wonderful girl and as much as Kurt knew she loved him he also knew she had a huge soft spot for Blaine, they were inseparable sometimes and Kurt loved that fact. He walked into her room to find her sat on her bed reading peacefully, the small desk lamp lighting up the room just enough for her to see the pages in front of her

"Hey honey you okay"

Leila looked up from her book and smiled, her hair was pulled up into a pony tail that ran down onto her shoulder. "Hey dad…I'm okay…just getting away"

Kurt nodded and sat on the edge of her bed "Getting away…from the craziness of the boys?"

Leila looked up with a guilty look in her eyes "You know I love them and I love you and daddy…it's just hard being the only girl sometimes"

"I get it sweetie, we all need to get away sometimes no matter how much we love someone...and yes those boys are crazy but what can I say…they follow in daddy B's footsteps" replied Kurt and they both let out a loud giggle. Kurt leant down and gave her a kiss on top of her head "Love you honey, goodnight"

"Night daddy"

~o~

Kurt finally sat down on his bed and stretched "I am exhausted"

Blaine sat typing into his laptop and looked over at his beloved husband "I got Toby off to bed fine, how are the boys and Leila?"

"They are fine, watching more of those damn movies" chuckled Kurt "and Leila is as always reading…Blaine do you think we are being sensible letting the boys sleep in the same bed?"

Blaine's eye brows shot up "why shouldn't they, I mean yes they are close but Caden has not given us any clue as to who he likes and neither has Connor so we have no reason to suspect anything until Caden tells us which team he plays for…I know he gave us signs when he was little but we can't just go by those"

Kurt rolled over to look at Blaine "I know I just…remember when we were just starting to do things; I admit there was no way we could be trusted not to do anything if we shared the same bed"

Blaine laughed at the memories of their teenage antics "that's because we were teenagers back then and it was new and we were getting used to each other…I trust Caden enough not to do anything like that yet or at least tell us if he is"

Kurt gave Blaine a weird look "did you tell your parents when we started doing it Blaine?"

"Good point…no, but look we will just have to wait till Caden tells us If he is gay or not and then we can go from there"

Kurt nodded and rolled over turning out the light "I hope so…I need at least one child to carry on the Barbara Streisand fandom"

Blaine let out a small laugh "Goodnight honey"

~o~

The ending credits for the movie continued to roll across the screen, the glow of the names lighting up the room just enough for Caden and Connor to see each other. Connors head lay his friends shoulder and Cadens head rested on top of the boy's blonde locks.

Connor was picking at a button on Cadens cardigan as a he felt himself slowly drift off to sleep, but he couldn't sleep, he couldn't take his mind off the one thing he had been meaning to say for nearly two years.

"Caden…what are we doing?" he asked his voice just above a whisper

Caden opened his eyes and shifted a little "What do you mean?" he replied even though deep inside who knew exactly what he meant

"I told you about me last year and you said you thought you were as well, ever since then we have had sleepovers, we tell each other every detail of our lives, we spend Friday nights cuddled up together watching movies…were are not like normal best friends" Connor ended and waited for a reply from the curly haired boy

Caden looked down at his best friend and sighed "I know we're not…but if we were something else then that could ruin everything we have and I can't lose you, what if your mom found out?"

Connor looked out the window at the night sky for a moment wondering what the punishment would be for his 'problem'. "So you would rather not see what happens, we could be amazing and as for my mother…we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it"

Caden pulled the smaller boy closer and sighed "I want to Connor I really do…I'm just…scared I guess and I don't want anything to happen to you if your mom found out"

Connor placed his hand on Cadens cheek getting a blush from the boy "You are worth it Caden and let's face it…she has to find out eventually. Caden Hummel-Anderson would you do me the honour of becoming my boyfriend?"

Caden smiled a little and also placed his hand on the boy's cheek "I would love to" he replied as he leant down and gave the boy a small chaste kiss "I'm tired, let's talk about this in the morning"

Connor nodded and placed his head on the boy's chest "Goodnight…boyfriend" he felt the boy chuckle and pull him in closer sealing them off from the world and the future to come.

~o~

Blaine sighed as he walked through the front door, he looked around to see caden and Leila lounging on the couch in the living room and Toby sat drawing at the coffee table. He continued on into the kitchen and placed his bag down after a long day with a client. Kurt was stirring food on the stove and didn't notice that his husband had come home.

"Hey babe, what you cooking?"

Kurt spun around and smiled at the sight of his husband "Hey, just spaghetti and meatballs"

Blaine nodded and looked through some letters laying on the side addressed to him "Again we had that last night" asked Blaine absent minded

Kurt frowned a little and continued stirring with his back turned "Yea I didn't get chance to go to the store today, oh and there's something wrong with Caden's computer could you take a look"

Blaine rubbed his forehead "Well I'm kind of tired right now Kurt and why didn't you go to the store?"

Kurt could not believe this. Was Blaine actually questioning him on this? "Well Blaine I had to get the kids to school, then take your suits to the dry cleaners, meet with Mandy to go over some designs and then go to Toby's soccer practice…good enough excuse?"

Blaine frowned and dropped the letters back on the counter "You know I would love your easy scheduled day Kurt but I had to just drive 3 hours there and back to see a client and I don't need you giving out errands for me to do when I get home"

Kurt stood back and gripped the kitchen counter "Easy day huh…tell me when did I become this perfect suburban house husband you seem to picture in your head…I did work but gave it up to become a full time dad so you could keep your job, I'm sorry that it's too much effort for you to help your son or have the same meal two days in row, I'm sorry I am not the perfect husband you seem to have in your head"

Blaine stood speechless before storming out of the kitchen to go tend to Caden's computer.

Kurt rubbed a hand down his face and stared into the burly reflection of himself in the steel splash back, Blaine's current project had been putting a strain on them with Blaine always travelling and being tired when he gets home, Kurt hated when they fight he felt himself fill with anger again as he remembered Blaine's words. His anger quickly faded away when he heard the faint sound of muffled sobs coming from the dining room.

Kurt rounded the corner to find Toby in the corner crying, the soft curls that had formed round his ears made Kurt start to wonder if they would eventually find out who was his biological father. He knelt down and placed a hand on the small boys arm.

Toby looked up at his dad with tears lining his emerald green eyes "Why are you and daddy fighting"

Kurt gave him a sympathetic look "Oh honey it's okay, me and daddy just had a little disagreement"

Kurt pulled him into a hug and kissed the top of his head "But you fight and B-Bradley's parents used to fight and now he has to live with his mom and doesn't see his dad"

Kurt now understood why Toby was so upset and put his sons face in his hands

"Sweetie parents will always fight no matter what…but I promise you me and daddy are fine we are not going to separate"

Toby nodded "Really, you still love daddy?"

Kurt smiled and leant against the wall letting Toby lay on his chest "I will always love your daddy but sometimes we have to fight, it's just what us silly adults do" replied Kurt as run a hand through his sons hair . Toby giggled and hugged his dad tighter.

Dinner was in silence apart from the odd chatter between the children; Kurt and Blaine would give each other glances every so often but didn't speak to one another.

Kurt hated going to bed when he and Blaine had fought, most of the time they would discuss the issue not long after and would go back to be being the lovable and joyful couple they were, and then there was the odd occasions where they didn't resolve the issue as quickly.

Kurt sat at the vanity in his and Blaine's room staring into the mirror in front of him, the reflection had changed over the years. He looked older and little more tired than usual; sure he still had the flawless skin which he was certain was the doing of his nightly moisturizing routine nonetheless Getting older didn't bother him as much as he thought it would but it still made him sigh when he realised just how fast the years had gone. He wiped his face free from the day with a pad and removed his wedding band and the ring Blaine had bought him eight years ago. The ring was a simple platinum band with four diamonds in it; He remembered Blaine telling him each diamond represented their three children and one represented him but the platinum that held them in place was Kurt because he was the one that held them all together. Kurt smiled at how cheesy Blaine could be but he still loved the thought behind the small piece of jewellery.

Blaine walked out from the bathroom clad in a white towel; his hair was still in disarray and dripping a little onto the carpet beneath him. He pulled out a pair of flannel pants and began to change into them just as He caught Kurt watching him through the mirror. Blaine shook his head and slowly walked over behind Kurt who sat motionless before he felt Blaine's hand start to massage his shoulders

"I was an ass Kurt, I'm sorry. I know it's not always easy and I have been working a lot…not that it's a good excuse but…I'm sorry" Blaine said leaning down and placing a kiss on top of Kurt's head

Kurt reached up and took one of Blaine's hands "You are forgiven, I know you work hard and I know if you didn't we couldn't have all this" Kurt motioned around with his free hand "Let's just forget about it"

Blaine nodded and kept his eyes on Kurt "I love you"

Kurt replied with the same and let out a chuckle "You know Toby was scared that we were going to split up"

Blaine's eyebrows raised and he sat down next to Kurt on the stall "Really, he said that"

Kurt nodded and placed his hands on Blaine's bare chest before leaning in for a kiss. Blaine smiled and wrapped an arm around his husbands waist "Sorry but you are stuck with me for life" replied, Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder taking in a breath "I can deal with that"

They were interrupted by a small knock on their door, Kurt called them in and Caden stood just inside the door and took a deep breath

"Dads I have something to tell you"

~o~

I don't know how I feel about this chapter, possibly because it's been a long time. I always had this time jump planned simply because I can't fill in the eight years' worth of their life. Dave will be brought into the story soon and that mystery will be resolved.
