Chapter 9

Blaine turned his eyes away from Kelsey and grabbed Addie off of the counter and pulled her into a hug.

"Oh sweetie! You can't walk away without me or Kurt." He said.

"I'm sorry." Addie said as she continued to cry.

"Kurt, I'll pay for the clothes. Take Addie out to the car." Blaine said in a low voice. Kurt nodded and took Addie from his arms and began walking out of the store.

"How the hell did you get her?" Blaine growled.

"I didn't take her Blaine. I work here. I saw a little girl crying and I went over to her. She told me that she couldn't find her Dad and she told me your name. That's it!" Kelsey said.

"You didn't take her?" Blaine questioned.

"No, I didn't even know what she looked like." Kelsey replied.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Blaine stammered. "Thank you, for taking good care of her."

"You're welcome." She replied. "And for the record I wouldn't have like taken off with her when I figured out who she was. I made a choice three years ago and I stand by it. Giving her to you was the best option I had."

"That doesn't mean it was right though. I love my daughter, but handing over your problem to me was not dealing with a problem. It was just sticking it on someone else." Blaine retorted.

"I fought through my whole pregnancy. My parents wanted me to get an abortion the minute they found out, but I would not let them. I love her and I was scared. I didn't think giving my baby to strangers was the best option. I knew that you would love her, so I gave her to you." Kelsey replied.

"You lost the right to call her your baby when you abandoned her on my doorstep." Blaine growled.

"Blaine, I don't know how many times I can say I'm sorry. It wasn't easy for me either. You didn't get called the slut who got pregnant and after I had the baby, my parents kicked me out and cut me off." Kelsey replied her eyes filled with tears. Blaine scoffed.

"Look, I'm sorry about what you went through, but I went through stuff too. My parents kicked me out and cut me off, but I had a newborn baby to deal with too. Plus, I get the dirty looks every day because not only am I gay, but I'm a teenage father." Blaine said. "I'm thankful for what you did today, but I do not forgive you."

"I know and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you." Kelsey said. "I really want to know her. She seems like a wonderful little girl."

"She is." Blaine responded and looked down in thought. "Maybe you can come meet her, but I don't know if I want her to know that you're her mother right away. For now, you're just my friend."

"I am perfectly okay with that." Kelsey said with a smile. "I really missed you B." Blaine nodded.

"I have to go now." He responded and then he took the clothing and headed out to the car. Once he reached the car, he saw Addie was asleep in her car seat with her thumb in her mouth. He opened the driver's side door and got in.

"How did it go?" Kurt asked.

"Not good, but not bad. We talked and I decided that she can meet Addie, but she plays by my rules." Blaine said.

"Whatever you want to do, she's your daughter." Kurt said. By the time they got home, it was seven o'clock and Addie was still sleeping. Blaine went around and unbuckled her out of the car seat and then carried her into the house. He laid her on the couch and grabbed a blanket and placed it over her.

"Do you want me to make dinner?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, I guess. How about mac n' cheese? I know that's not exactly Kurt Hummel standard, but I think it's all I have right now and Addie loves it." Blaine responded. Kurt nodded and went towards his cabinets. Blaine really wasn't kidding. There was nothing left. There was a loaf of bread, a box of graham crackers, a box of cereal and some bananas. In the fridge was a gallon of milk, orange juice, and some cheese. Blaine had sat down at the table and Kurt sat down next to him. He had to approach this topic very gently. He knew Blaine was proud and didn't accept help easily, but he needed help. He had a child to think about.

"Blaine, sweetie, is everything okay?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.

"It's just, there's really no food in your house and you haven't played a gig for a few weeks." Kurt replied.

"It's fine. I just haven't been grocery shopping in a while." Blaine responded as he continued to not make eye contact.

"Blaine, it's just me. You can talk to me. I'm not going to run away." Kurt said softly. This was when Blaine broke down. Kurt sighed and pulled him into a tight hug.

"It's just so hard. No one will give me a gig and I hardly have enough money. After paying all the apartment bills, and Addie's daycare fee, I barely have enough to scrape by." Blaine cried.

"And then I made you by Addie clothes." Kurt said with a sigh. Blaine nodded.

"I know I said that you could, but I really couldn't afford it. Then I saw Addie's little face. She was so happy. I couldn't take that away from her. The reason I was so tired was because I picked up a job at the McDonald's because they were the only ones hiring, but now their closing it and I'm out of a job again." He cried.

"Blaine I am so sorry. Who was watching Addie when you were working?" Kurt asked.

"My neighbor, Mrs. Stevens watched her. Addie hates her but I had no choice." Blaine replied.

"It's okay. You're going to be okay. I'll move in here with you. I can watch Addie and I'll help my dad at the garage. Maybe I could get you a job there too. I'm sure my Dad would understand. Then we could bring Addie too and she could spend time with Carole. They both would love that and it would be perfect." Kurt said very quickly.

"Kurt, KURT! Stop! I can't make you do this for me. I can ruin your plans. You're going to New York soon and I can't stop you from living your dreams." Blaine yelled. "I got myself into this and this is my responsibility.

No. You stop. You made a mistake. You didn't ask to be a teenage father living on your own, but you are and you're taking care of Addie. She is a happy and healthy little girl. In my eyes, you're doing an amazing job. And New York can wait; I only want to be there if you and Addie are there with me." Kurt replied.

"But…" Blaine stammered.

"No buts. I love you and I want to do this for you and for Addie." Kurt said as he placed a kiss on his lips. Then, he got up and started to cook the mac n' cheese. Addie woke up and started crying. Blaine rushed into the living room.

"What's wrong baby?" Blaine asked as he took her into his lap.

"I had a bad dream." She cried.

"Oh okay. You're okay. It was just a dream. Shh," Blaine soothed. He stood up and walked into the kitchen where the mac n' cheese was almost done.

"How's it going?" Blaine asked.

"Fine, dinner is almost done." Kurt said. "Why don't you go get Addie into her pajamas." Blaine nodded and headed into Addie's bedroom.

"Which pajamas do you want to wear tonight?" Blaine asked.

"My monkey jammies." Addie said.

"Well okay… come here you little monkey." He laughed. Addie scampered over and jumped into Blaine's arms. He helped her put her shirt on and then put her pants on. "Do you want to do the rocket ship?" he asked.

"Yeah!" Addie said. Blaine laughed and grabbed on to the top of her pajama pants.

"Lift off in five…four…three…two…one!" Blaine yelled and then he pulled her up into the air by her pants. She landed in Blaine's arms giggling.

"Again Dada! Again!" Addie screamed.

"No, not tonight, maybe tomorrow night; we have to get out to the kitchen before Daddy Kurt gets mad and Dada gets a time out." Blaine laughed.

"Oh, okay. Let's go." Addie said. Blaine smiled and grabbed her before she ran away.

"Baby, can I ask you a question?" he asked. Addie nodded her head. "How would you feel if Daddy Kurt moved in with us?" Addie looked at him like he was crazy.

"Doesn't he already live here? He's here almost every day." Addie replied. Blaine laughed.

"Well, I guess you're right." He said. "Now, let's go eat some mac n' cheese." Addie ran out of his arms and into the kitchen and into her booster seat. Kurt already had dinner and drinks on the table and they all sat down to eat. For the first time in a week, Blaine was able to relax. He wasn't worried about paying bills or finding a job. He was just enjoying a dinner with his daughter and his boyfriend and he could help but think that this is hopefully what the future holds for him.
