BlairPOV-

''And then we're going to a movie,'' Sugar gushes, talking about her Valentine's date with Rory.

It's February 10, only four days before Valentine's day.

And five days since I started my new diet.

Yet I've only lost three pounds.

I'll just have to work harder. Then no one, especially not Lisa, will be able to call me ''chubby''.

''That's nice,'' I smile, pretending it's okay ,''Ryder and I are gonna videochat.''

''You two are so cute together,'' she sighs ,''I can't wait until he comes back. I left my lipgloss at home, can I use some of yours.''

''Yeah,'' I hand her my purse as I open my locker ,''Go ahead.''

''Hey guys,'' Amber bounces over to us, alongside Lilly, a freshman in glee.

The three of them discuss Valentine's day plans as I take my books out of my locker.

But then all three of them are silent, and I look up and see…

Oh.

''Blair, why do you have diet pills,'' Sugar asks quietly, Lilly and Amber turning to look at me as well.

Shit.

''I'm just going to try to lose a few pounds,'' I shrug.

So I look like you.

''You're fine, Blair. You've got a gorgeous body, and you really don't need to diet,''

Amber tells me, making Sugar and Lilly nod.

Easy for them to say: Lilly and Sugar can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound, and Amber stays fit from the cheering and dancing.

No matter how hard I try, I can't lose enough weight.

''Seriously,'' Lilly smiles ,''You're beautiful.''

''I love your curls, and yours, too, Lilly,'' Sugar supplies ,''And everyone has something they're insecure about. Like I don't like my nose.''

''And I hate how flat my chest is,'' Amber shrugs.

''And I don't particularly like that my skin isn't perfectly smooth,'' Lilly admits.

But you're all so gorgeous, regardless of your insecurities. So pretty, and thin. You just don't get it. I have to do this.

''Thanks. I… I appreciate it. But I'm leaving early,'' I tell them ,''I'll see you tomorrow.''

With that, I take my bag, books and purse and sign myself out in the office.

Quinn Fabray is waiting for me at the diner across the street from school.

QuinnPOV-

''Hey, gorgeous,'' I give Blair a hug.

We talk for a while. Grace is doing fine, Ryder is moving back, and she's on the honor roll.

I tell her I'm engaged, asking her to keep it a secret until I tell Kurt, Blaine and the others.

Now, onto why her parents asked me to talk to her.

''So… how have you been feeling,'' I ask, trying to seem casual as she glances at her menu.

''Did dad and Kurt ask you to talk to me?''

''Smart girl,'' I nod ,''Blair, what's going on, sweetie?''

''It's just a diet. I'm eating healthier, exercising when I'm not at school, glee, or work,'' she tells me.

''...You know you're gorgeous, right,'' I as.

''Thanks,'' she looks at her water ,''But you're gorgeous.''

''And you know your body is fine, right?,'' I question her ,''Besides, beauty isn't set to any one size.''

''I think everyone is beautiful, then I look in the mirror and that attitude disappears,'' she reminds me.

I know the feeling all too well.

''Blair, you're a beautiful girl.''

''Thank you. I appreciate you saying that,'' she says honestly ,''But I want to make myself see it. So I'm changing what I don't like.''

''Just, please promise me you'll talk to someone before this gets out of hand.''

I don't want you to go through the torture I did.

''I will,'' she nods as the waitress comes back.

I hope she does. High school was hell when all I could do was worry about my body. I don't want that for her or anybody else. I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.

Blair doesn't see herself clearly. I know everyone has insecurities, but her body is just fine. She doesn't need to do this.

Thankfully, Blair has Kurt and Blaine. They'd do anything for their kids. She has a much better relationship with her parents, a much better support system, than I had from my family, and she's actually a lot more confident than I was her age.

The Anderson-Hummel family has been through so much: Rory being afraid to go to school due to bullying, Blair's pregnancy, Rory dealing with the ignorant remarks people are making about this, Blair's insecurities…

They're a strong family. They're gonna be just fine.

Just like they do everything together, that's how they'll get through this.

RoryPOV-

''Back to school tomorrow,'' my dad tells me, helping me finish the dishes.

''Right,'' I sigh.

My suspension is finished, and I'm over my cold.

''You know you can't hit everyone that says something. There will always, always be people like that. And sometimes the ones who do are hiding something themselves,''he reminds me.

''I just… our family may not be traditional, but I like it. What's so wrong with it though? You and Blaine love us like good parents, and you take care of us. So why can't people accept that?''

Smiling sadly, dad wraps his arm around me ,''Some people are afraid of change. But you can't let them get to you. I learned that, even if it took me years to put it into practice.''

''Don't you ever just get... mad about it?''

''Rory, of course I do. I don't like prejudiceness at all. But you're doing your part by being the good person you are. We can't change the world overnight, but you're a start… what's this for.''

I release dad from my hug ,''You're my hero. I don't always know what to do, but I'm glad that you're here for me. I don't know what I'd do without you.''

And I don't. After my parents died, I didn't have any other family. If it weren't for Kurt, I don't know what would have happened to me.

''I love you, dad.''

''I love you, too, Rory. Now, you have school tomorrow. So go get some sleep.''

With that, we finish the kitchen and I head to my room.

''Hey,'' I knock on Blair's door ,''Thanks for getting all of my work for me.''

Not looking up, she nods ,''No problem.''

''What's wrong,'' I ask, sitting on the floor in front of her bed.

''I'm fine.''

''Right,'' I nod ,''Wanna try that again?''

''Rory, I am fine,'' she groans ,''I'm tired. It's been a lot of stress. I haven't heard from NYADA for either of the programs that I auditioned for.''

''You will though,'' I reassure her ,''Get some sleep. We have a long day tomorrow.''

''Right,'' she sighs ,''I'll see you in the morning.''

''Maybe I should tell dad and Blaine I think something's going on with her...''

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this. This last semester has been stressful so far, so she's probably really is just tired.

I'm sure everything will work itself out.

After all, it always does.

BPOV-

''The newest guidance counselor, Mrs. Tomlinson, said she overheard something very interesting today,'' I tell Kurt, crawling into bed next to him as he holds Grace.

''And what would that be,'' he questions, sliding her pajama pants on her.

''She heard Amber, Lilly, Sugar and Blair basically picking apart their insecurities one by one. She said it was really upsetting, because she heard it from Courtney and Dottie when she subbed for their cooking class last week.''

And I don't see why they do that to themselves.

''They're beautiful girls,'' Kurt looks up at me ,''What do you think is going on?''

''Basic teenage insecurities,'' I shrug, looking at him ,''But this is worrying me more and more. This could affect their schoolwork, their performance at regionals… everything.''

I know that all too well.

''So what do you want to do? You can't just ask them bluntly, because they'll deny it. And you're a guy, Blaine,'' Kurt states ,''They'll say you don't understand. But I do have an idea.''

''And what would that be, my ever so brilliant husband,'' I smirk, and he ignores the hint of sarcasm.

''You're cute. Well, you haven't made the setlist yet. You could use this as a hidden lesson while also working on songs for regionals.''

''What do you mean,'' I take Grace from him, gently running my fingers through her smooth hair as she slowly drifts off to sleep.

''Like have them split into groups, and each group performs a song all about confidence. This can help the guys focus on gaining confidence for any insecurities that they may have as well,'' Kurt informs me.

''You are a genius,'' I kiss him ,''I love you so much.''

''As well you should. I have great fashion sense, I'm sexy as hell, and a pretty damn good kisser might I add,'' Kurt jokes.

''And so modest,'' I roll my eyes, making the love of my life laugh ,''I have to go take Grace to bed. I'll be back.''

Grace is half asleep when I place her into her crib.

''Night, sweetheart. I love you so much,'' I beam down at her ,''And I love your brother, sister, and your dad. When you get older, you're gonna see how incredible he is.''

She lets out a light sigh, but it sounds like an agreement. With that, she drifts off to sleep, and i turn the lights off and close the door to the nursery.

Kurt and I have come so far from where we started. Back then, he was too afraid to take the fall, and I didn't want to push.

Somehow, we both ended up falling together. Free falling, right by each other's side. Now, we're married with plans to extend are already beautiful family. Yes it gets really, really crazy sometimes. And we've already been through so much.

But if I have to go through this absurdity, then I'm glad it's with Kurt.

''So,'' I end the lesson ,''That's the assignment. We all have insecurities. The thing is, you can't let them define who you are. You assignment? Find songs promoting confidence. Break into teams, no more than five.''

Blair has had her eyes on the floor this whole time. Though I don't support her diet, I am willing to agree with it as long as she doesn't take it too far.

So Kurt and I have been keeping an eye on her. If I can't be anything else, I want to be someone she depends on.

Once they have the teams, I write down the names so we can keep it in order.

Team 1- Harmony, Courtney, Dottie

Team 1- Hunter, Rory, James, Danny and Jason

Team 3- Blair, Lilly, Sugar and Amber.

''I'll see you guys tomorrow,'' I smile once glee is over, then catch up with Blair.

''Hey, are you okay,'' I ask, and she nods.

''This lesson isn't for me, right?''

''It's for all of you,'' I shrug ,''You all deserve to feel good about yourself.''

Better than I did in high school. I don't want that for any of you.

''You're a good teacher,'' she smiles up at me ,''But an even better dad.''

''And you're a good singer,'' I wrap an arm around her ,''But an even better daughter.''

This is so far from what I imagined my life twelve, even twenty years ago. I always wanted kids, but I never knew it would be this rewarding.

And I've always wanted to get married, but I never thought that it would feel this right to wake up next to someone that makes you feel so amazing.

Lucky for me, fate stepped in and pushed Kurt and I together. And it didn't let us get away from each other, always bringing us back to each other. It hasn't been easy. In fact, it has been far from it. However, every moment of doubt and pain is rewarded with two more moments of Kurt and I loving each other.

And that beats anything that could possibly come our way.
