AN: Just a little possible scene that could have happened after Burt kicks Finn out in "Theatrically. It's inspired by lyrics from "Love, Pain and The Whole Damn Thing" by Amy Sky


I sit nervously across the table from Carole. It's the first time we've been together since the night that I kicked Finn out of my house. That was a week ago and although I love her just as much as ever, I'm at a loss for words. I'm not sure there is anything that I can say to make things right and yet she was the one who had asked me to dinner.

"I think it's time we should talk through what happened, don't you think?" Carole says, breaking the silence.

"I'm not apologizing for what I did. I'd do it again," I tell her, knowing it's not the most diplomatic opening but it's the plain truth and that's the only way I know how to deal with things.

Carole simply nods. "It wasn't right what Finn said. He realizes that, although he didn't mean to hurt Kurt."

"But he did."

"He did," she agrees simply. "But we all make mistakes. Finn wants to apologize when you're ready to listen. He's already apologized to Kurt."

"He has?"

Carole nods. "At school. He said it wasn't easy because Kurt didn't want to listen to him at first. Then apparently a couple of the jocks were giving Kurt a hard time and Finn stepped in." Carole pauses as if she's thinking something over. "In a Lady Gaga costume, made out of the red shower curtain in the bathroom. He only told me because I asked about the missing shower curtain."

"Lady Gaga?" I ask in disbelief. I know the kind of costumes the performer wears simply from googling the artist when Kurt started talking about the Glee Club performance. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around Finn in one of those outfits. Maybe he is different than other guys. "Well, if our sons can forgive and move on, then perhaps we can too?"

Carole smiles. "I'd like that. After all, love isn't about only the good; you've got to take the bad days too."
