Chapter 15
` Around noon was when Burt, Carole, Finn, and Rachel finally made it to Blaine and Kurt's apartment. Their celebratory lunch wasn't anything but pizza, but celebrating really wasn't what Blaine had in mind. They needed to get Kurt to understand that he needed to go to New York. Carole had called last night and she had found a lovely two bedroom apartment that would be big enough for all three of them when Blaine and Addie arrived. Blaine had also called Rachel last night to fill her in and she was completely on board. She was going to be staying at the dorms at NYADA, but she said that she would visit all the time. When the doorbell rang, Addie ran and opened the door.
"Carole and Burt!" She exclaimed.
"There's my Peanut!" Burt said as he lifted her up and threw her up into the air. "Let's go see your Daddies."
"They're in the kitchen." Addie announced. Burt walked into the kitchen. Kurt was working on a salad.
"Hey guys. I just called for some pizza. It should be here soon." Blaine replied. He looked over to Carole, she held a folder, and nodded. "Hey babe, why don't we sit down for a while?" Blaine said to Kurt. Kurt stopped tossing the salad and sat down.
"Hey Peanut; why don't you go and play with Finn for a little? I'm sure he'd love playing with your dolls." Burt said. Addie nodded and wiggled off of Burt's lap. She grabbed Finn's hand and pulled him off to go play. Burt, Carole, and Rachel all sat down. They had serious looks on their faces.
"Seriously, what is wrong with all of you?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, we need to talk to you about something, and you need to be really open about listening." Blaine said.
"Okay, what is it?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, you need to be in New York." Blaine replied.
"No, not this again; we talked about this. I'm not going." Kurt said firmly as he tried to stand up from the table.
"Sweetheart, just listen to Blaine and us. It's for your best interest." Carole said. Kurt sat back down again.
"Okay, Carole found us a really awesome two bedroom apartment. It's really nice and it's big enough for you, me and Addie. Plus, you won't be alone." Blaine said.
"Yeah, Kurt, I'll be at NYADA. I was planning on staying in the dorms, but for the first year we can stay together." Rachel quickly added.
"What about work? I didn't get into NYADA, so what would I be doing?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, you don't need a job right away. Didn't you tell me Julia Roberts started off in New York selling shoes or something? If it's good enough for Pretty Woman, then it's good enough for Kurt Hummel." Burt replied.
"Dad, I am very impressed that you remembered that, but it's a tough economy out there." Kurt said.
"Honey, if anyone can make it, you can." Blaine said.
"Well, I still-" Kurt stammered.
"Kurt, everything is set. Go and be happy." Blaine said. "Addie and I will be in there in a year and I promise we'll come and visit every month."
"But, I'll still miss you and Addie too much." Kurt said.
"And we'll miss you too, but you need to go." Blaine said as he rubbed Kurt's arm gently. Kurt was silent for a minute before he looked up and spoke again.
"Okay, well I guess I'm going to New York then." Kurt said quietly. Blaine hugged Kurt. "But, I am not telling Addie. This was your idea, you can do that." Kurt replied. Blaine nodded and headed into the living room.
"Finn, can I be alone with Addie?" Blaine asked. Finn nodded and went into the kitchen.
"Addie, sweetie, can I talk to you?" Blaine asked.
"Sure, Dada." Addie replied.
"Dada and Daddy Kurt talked and we decided that Daddy Kurt is going to go to New York." Blaine said.
"Why?" Addie said her eyes getting misty.
"Because he's going to get stuff ready for us so we're all ready to move next year." Blaine said.
"No, Daddy Kurt didn't even want to go! You made him! I hate you!" Addie screamed and ran off to her room. Everyone in the kitchen heard Addie's screams. Kurt walked into the living room and saw Blaine with his head in his hands.
"Honey, she'll get over it. She'll understand." Kurt said as he rubbed Blaine's back.
"Kurt, she said that she hated me. She's four! Isn't the "I hate you" part not supposed to come until later?" Blaine exclaimed.
"Do you want me to go talk to her?" Kurt asked. Blaine nodded. Kurt walked down the hallway and knocked on Addie's door.
"Addie, open up." He said. He heard the door unlatch, but it didn't open. Kurt opened the door and Addie was laying on her bed.
"Sweetie, talk to me." Kurt said.
"Why are you leaving? Don't you love me?" Addie said as tears streamed down her face.
"Honey, of course I love you." Kurt replied.
"Then why aren't Dada and I coming with you?" Addie asked.
"You will, but Dada has to finish school first." Kurt said. "It's easier if you stay with him because then you get to stay will all of your friends in daycare for another year. Then when you come to New York next year you can start kindergarten and meet new friends. By then I'll have a job too." Addie wiped her tears.
"Do you promise you'll come and visit?" Addie asked.
"Of course I will. Dada has already promised me that you guys will come up every month to visit too. So you'll get to come and see New York!" Kurt said. She smiled at that. "Give me a hug and then go out and tell Dada that you don't hate him. He's really upset." Addie leaned into Kurt and hugged him. Then they walked out of Addie's room hand in hand. She walked over to Blaine and hugged him.
"I'm sorry Dada. I don't hate you." She said.
"Thank you baby" Blaine said.
"I'm not happy about Daddy Kurt leaving, but I won't be mad. But, I am not helping him pack. He has way too much clothes." Addie said. Blaine started laughing.
"Adeline Faith have I taught you nothing. You can never have too much clothes." Kurt said with a laugh. Now that everybody was on board it was time to get packing.
Weeks went by and it was finally the day. Moving day. All of Kurt's things were packed into the car and they were ready to hit the road.
"Kurt, Addie, come on. We need to get going." Blaine yelled.
"Okay we're coming." Kurt yelled as he ran out the door with Addie in his arms. They ran down to the car and got in.
"New York, here we come." Blaine said. They drove for three hours. It was pretty peaceful. Addie slept for most of the drive. They only had to pull over once for gas and for Addie to use the potty. She was still getting used to that. Around four o'clock they made it to their new apartment. They left all of the boxes in the car and went up to look at it. Carole had really done an outstanding job. There were hard wood floors and really nice counters. Addie ran inside.
"Whoa it's so big." She exclaimed. Kurt and Blaine walked in to the first bedroom that would be there bedroom.
"Addie that bedroom is going to be yours." Blaine said pointing across the hall. She went running into that room.
"It's kind of plain. Can I paint it blue?" She yelled.
"Sure sweetie." Kurt yelled. Blaine pulled Kurt into a tight hug.
"This is just the beginning." He said. "You'll do great here."
"A year will pass in no time." Blaine said. Kurt nodded.
"No, it's our beginning. We'll be great here." Kurt responded. It truly was the start of a new beginning. There would be no more surprise babies on Blaine's doorstep, no more parents kicking him out, and no more Kelsey to ruin everything. It was just the three of them as a family.
