Chapter 8
Saturday and Sunday went by quickly and now it was Monday, so that meant a lot questions from the New Directions about his outburst at Breadstixs. Blaine didn't know what he was going to tell them. He really didn't want to dig up more about Kelsey. He had put her in the past and didn't want her making appearances in his future. If she had really loved Addie, she would have never left her on his doorstep. What right did she have to her now? As he walked into the choir room, he could feel the many pairs of eyes staring at him. He ignored them and took a seat next to Kurt. Kurt still didn't know exactly what had happened that night. He had seen the aftermath, but not the actual outburst. It was Sam who actually asked about it.
"So, dude what happened on Friday night?" He asked hesitantly.
"Nothing, it was just an old friend that I had a falling out with." Blaine responded.
"But, she was asking to meet someone. Who did she want to meet?" Sam asked.
"Sam, just let it go. It's nothing." He responded.
"Dude that was not "nothing". I had to drag you out of Breadstixs, so you didn't kill her right there." Sam said.
"Just please stop." Blaine pleaded as he gritted his teeth. Kurt reached over and grabbed his hand to try to comfort him.
"Don't shout at me dude. I'm just the messenger. Everybody was wondering." Sam said. This was when Blaine just lost it. He got up from his chair and was about to walkout. Then he stopped.
"Whatever happened at Breadstixs doesn't matter. It's my business and I'd like it to stay that way." Blaine said before rushing out of the room. The rest of the glee club sat in awe. In their minds it was just concern for Blaine, but in reality it didn't seem that way. Kurt got up and went to leave, but surprisingly Santana got up instead.
"Santana, what are you doing?" Kurt asked.
"I'm going to talk to Blaine. Being pissed at the people in this room is sort of my thing if you haven't noticed. I'm sure I can talk him into coming back." She said. Kurt nodded. It was worth a try. She walked down the hallway wondering where he could be. Then she heard noises coming from the gym. It sounded like someone was punching something. She opened the door and slowly walked inside. Blaine stood in a pair of sweatpants and a white tank top punching a large black bag hanging from the ceiling.
"Wow, you've got a nice punch, Hobbit." She said.
"Santana? What do you want?" Blaine asked.
"Came to see what's got you so angry. You know we're all just concerned about you. Right?" She responded.
"Well, you don't need to be." Blaine said in an angry voice as he continued to punch the bag.
"You know I don't by that. I am the lying queen and you are not a very good liar." She commented. Blaine kept his head down and didn't make eye contact. "Who was she? Was she Addie's mom?" Santana asked.
"How did you know?" Blaine asked with a surprised look on his face.
"You never get mad at anyone, but if someone left a kid on my doorstep and then had the balls to ask see her after three years, I'd be pissed." Santana responded.
"Yeah, Kelsey is a bitch." Blaine growled.
"Do you want me to go all Lima Heights on her?" Santana asked with a laugh. Blaine laughed too.
"No, I don't think that would be setting a very good example for my daughter." He laughed.
"Whatever. Don't let her make you feel like this. You're Addie's dad and no one can take that away from you." She said.
"Thanks Santana." He replied.
"Come on. Let's go back to glee and if anyone asks you about it I'll go all Lima Heights on them." She said with a smile. Blaine smiled and went to change. When he was finished he walked back down the hallway and into the choir room. Santana sat down, but Blaine didn't follow her.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you guys. I just didn't want to talk about it, but it's something I need to deal with. The girl that I yelled at was Kelsey. She was an old friend…and she is Addie's biological mother." Blaine said. The faces on the glee club were mixed. Some people looked surprised, even sympathetic. The funniest was probably Puck's face. Blaine could swear he heard him saying how hot she was and how jealous he was that he didn't get to "bang" her. "I'd appreciate it if none of you brought her up again. Thanks." Blaine said before taking a seat next to Kurt. The rest of the rehearsal was uneventful. When the rehearsal ended, Kurt and Blaine left to go pick up Addie from daycare. Blaine signed the pick-up sheet and he went into get her and Kurt waited in the car. Addie was playing tea party with two of her friends at a little pink plastic table. She looked up and saw Blaine and went running.
"Dada!" She said as she jumped into his arms. Blaine caught her and positioned her on his hip and kissed her forehead.
"Are you ready to go munchkin?" he asked.
"Yup" she responded.
"Good, go get your backpack." He said after setting her back down. She ran over to her cubby and grabbed her backpack. Then came running back over and grabbed Blaine's hand. They walked out of the daycare and into the parking lot. When he opened the door, she saw that Kurt was in the passenger seat.
"Kurt, you're here!" She said excitedly.
"Yup, I am. How about you and me go on a shopping spree today?" Kurt asked.
"Yay!" Addie said.
"Kurt, it's a Monday. We don't have time to go shopping." Blaine said as he got in the car.
"You promised me that you'd let me give your toddler a makeover. I choose now to redeem my prize." Kurt said with a smirk across his face. Blaine moaned.
"Fine, we'll go to the mall." He said. They drove to Kohl's and walked in. Addie held Kurt's hand the whole time.
"Wow, look at all the clothes!" Addie said in complete awe. She had never been clothes shopping before and you could tell from the smile on her face that she was in love. Blaine laughed at the sight and thought about all the money he would spend on shopping sprees when she was a teenager. Kurt and Addie dived into all the clothes. Before Blaine knew it, he was covered in different types of tops, skirts, jeans, and pretty much anytime of clothing article or accessory was in Blaine's hands.
"Hey guys. How about we try on some of this stuff before my arms fall off?" Blaine pleaded. Addie looked to Kurt before running into the dressing rooms. Blaine followed slowly and then dumped all the clothes onto the bench in the dressing room.
"I'll be out there." He murmured because he was almost positive that neither of them was actually listening to him. He went out to the plastic chairs and plopped down. He may have even dozed off. It took so long. Meanwhile back in the dressing room, Addie had just finished trying on all of her clothes. There were three piles. One was buying, the other was get a different size, and the last one was the "what the heck was I thinking" pile.
"Addie, I'll get your clothes. Why don't you go out to Dada?" Kurt said as he looked at how tired the little girl was. She nodded and headed outside. Once she got out there, she saw Blaine sleeping in a chair, but was distracted by the toy isle a few isles down and wandered away. When Kurt finally came out he went over to Blaine, who was still asleep. "Where's Addie?" he asked.
"What do you mean? She's with you." Blaine replied as he yawned.
"Umm, no I sent her out to you." Kurt replied.
"What?" Blaine practically screamed and jumped up from his seat. "Addie!" he screamed as he began looking under clothes racks.
"Blaine, calm down. We'll find her." Kurt said, but Blaine was still panicking and rushing around. Addie, who was in the toy isle slowing realized, that she didn't know how to get back to the dressing rooms and began to cry. A Kohl's worker noticed and went over to her.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" She asked.
"I can't find my Dada." Addie cried.
"Okay, It's okay. We'll find him. Do you know his name?" She asked.
"Blaine Anderson." Addie said quietly. The Kohl's worker smiled and picked her up.
"It's okay sweetie. Come with me." She said. Once she reached the register she set Addie on the counter and picked up the intercom. "Mr. Blaine Anderson, please report to the front register." She said. The voice echoed through the store and Blaine and Kurt rushed to the front register. When they got there Blaine stopped dead in his tracks.
"Hi Blaine" The Kohl's worker said.
"Kelsey?" Blaine asked which left his mouth gaping open. The tension was high and a simple shopping trip just became a very awkward situation.
Hey guys! I'm posting this tonight because I won't have time tomorrow. My kitty is not doing so well, so we're going to put her down tomorrow. I'm sorry, but don't expect a chapter until Sunday at the earliest. Also sorry about the cliffhanger I didn't plan not write for so long. Thank you for understanding and I hope you like the chapter. I'm always open to reviews.
