This chapter contains mentions of eating disorders and body issues.

BPOV-

''Blaine!,'' Liam comes into the room ,''Would you please, please tell Jade to get out of the bathroom?''

''Yeah,'' I look to Kurt, ''I'll be right back.''

''She's been in there for an hour. I can't get in, and neither can Jacob,'' he complains.

''I'll take care of it. Go get your brother and sister,'' I knock on the door , ''Jade, you have to come out of there!''

''I'm not done yet!''

''Young lady, you're not the only one in this apartment! Your brothers and sister need to get ready,'' I remind her, surprised when she slams the bathroom door open, rushing out.

''Papa,'' Grace looks confused, ''What's wrong?''

''I don't know, honey. But I'm going to take care of it. Liam, could you help her with her breakfast?''

''Sure. Come on, munchkin,'' he picks her up ,''and Jacob won't get out of bed.''

Just great. We're already running late.

''Alright, one crisis at a time. It's 6:40, you guys need to hurry up and eat. If we don't have time to get lunch together, you can buy some at school. But we've got to hustle.''

With Liam and Grace temporarily situated, I go check on Jacob.

''Hey, buddy. What's wrong?''

''I don't feel well,'' he quietly whimpers.

''Wow, Jacob, you're burning up,'' I remove my hand from his forehead ,''You're not going to school today. I'm going to get the thermometer. Give me a second.''

Walking out of the room, I notice Jade's door is still closed.

''Jade, come on, you've got to eat breakfast,'' I knock on her door.

''I'm done,'' she walks out, mumbling under her breath.

''What was that, young lady?''

''Nothing!,'' she whirls around to face me ,''Can you just drop it?!''

''You don't talk to me like that. Go eat breakfast. I don't have time for this. We're going to discuss this later,'' Kurt rushes past us as Jade goes to eat breakfast ,''And why are you in such a rush?''

''My assistant is hysterical. I have to go in earlier than I anticipated. Are the kids all up?,'' he walks into the bathroom, cracking the door so I can still talk to him.

''All accept one. Jacob is sick. I'm going to keep him here today, get Grace dressed, so Liam and Jade can get to school on time, too.''

''Are you sure you can handle it,'' Kurt's voice comes over the running water ,''I'll be quick in here so you can finish getting her ready.''

''Wow. Thank you. And, yes, Kurt. I can handle it. Don't doubt me. Now go ahead and get ready. I've got the kids to worry about.''

''I'm not doubting you, Blaine. You're taking this the wrong way,'' he groans, coming out of the bathroom in his robe.

''That's what it sounded like, Kurt. I've been raising kids just as long as you have, allright? I think I can handle our son's cold.''

''You're taking this wrong way,'' Kurt snaps ,''So if you want to determine my words as saying that you don't know what you're doing, then be my guest. I don't have time for this. I have to get ready for work, Blaine.''

I know I'm being unreasonable, but we're both stressed out.

''Yeah, okay. Just go get ready.''

I'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes.

''Fine. We'll finish this talk later,'' Kurt mumbles, stalking towards our bedroom.

I have enough to keep me busy.

Kurt, Liam, Jade and Grace miraculously leave on time, even though we really had to rush to make it happen.

''Okay, buddy,'' I pick Jacob up ,'''We're going to give you some medicine for your fever. Then, we'll get you breakfast.''

There. He's taken his medicine, and is eating breakfast. Now I can get some housework done.

It's around one when I finally get the apartment clean. It's been a busy day, even with just Jacob home with me. The school called about Liam, and I had to redirect them to Kurt since I can't leave Jacob at home by himself. His fever went down, thank goodness. And he managed to keep his lunch down.

Now I can finally rest.

''Just great,'' I groan at the knock on the door a, looking to Jacob, ''I'll be right back.''

He nods, eyes trained on the television as I answer the door.

''Hello, Blaine. It's good to see you.''

''Hello, dad. Good to see you, too.''

Even if I forgot you were coming over.

And this day was running oh so smoothly before. I sarcastically think to myself.

''Come in. Just give me a minute. I have to tell Jacob to take a nap,'' I leave him sitting in the kitchen.

I also have to gather my strength.

Because there's no way this is going to be easy.

BlairPOV-

''Hey.''

''Hi,'' Jade gets in the car ,''Thanks for coming to get me.''

''No problem. What's wrong?''

''My stomach hurts,'' she shrugs ,''Can we just go home?''

She's a bad liar. But I know what it's like to not want to discuss whatever's going on with you.

I also know the consequences of not talking to someone sooner.

''So dad told me what happened this morning. What was that about?''

''Nothing,'' she groans ,''I feel bad enough about that. I am going to apologize to Blaine when I get home.''

''Alright. But I want to know what led up to you snapping like that,'' I question, eyes on the road.

I snapped like that, and then I broke. I'm not going to let you do the same.

''I hate going to school. I hate feeling stupid in math class. I hate ch-changing in front of the other girls in gym class. Because they're all so shapely. They have curves, and I don't. Boys don't even look at me.''

So that's what this is about.

Noah's sleep, and Jade is crying, so I pull over into a parking lot.

''Honey, don't cry,'' I point at the glove department, where the tissues are ,''Trust me, I know what you're going through.''

''Yeah right,'' Jade sniffles ,''You actually have curves, Blair. An hourglass figure.''

''Look, i'm going to tell you this, even though it's hard. But I wish I knew back then what I know now, so I'm going to tell you. When I was in high school, and even sometimes now, I hated my body. To the point where I'd take laxatives, binge and purge, use diet pills, starve myself… anything to lose the weight.''

''Why,'' she looks up ,''You have the perfect body.''

''I considered the 'perfect body' what you have: slender with small hips. So I tried to lose weight. I was confident in my intelligence and dance skills, but I was obsessed with my body,'' look down at my fingers ,''I nearly destroyed my body.I passed out in the bathroom my senior year, and I don't know what would have happened if Harmony wasn't there.''

''I'm glad she was,'' Jade says after a moment of silence.

''Yeah. Yeah, I am too. Look, everyone is insecure. But there is no perfect body. And everybody is different, alright? You are healthy, you are beautiful, and you need to love yourself. As for the boys, one day you will meet someone. As much as I loved my ex- Kate- Ryder's the one who helped me see myself in a more positive light. Like… my stretchmarks from getting pregnant. He thinks they're cool, and now I do, too. I remember thinking everyone else is so beautiful, because that's true. Now I love myself and think I'm beautiful. Some days are just awful, but I'm learning to love my body for what it can do, not for what it can't or for what it doesn't look like. Understand?''

''Yes,'' she picks at her nails ,''I remember my mom telling me that everyone, every size is beautiful. And that everybody has body imperfections, and that everybody has some fat on their body.''

''And you are not your body,'' I continue ,''You are a person. Love yourself, and don't' shame any body type. Not even your own.''

I know how that feels. I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.

''So here's what we can do: you can focus on school. Kurt is good at math, and I know he'll help you. You could even get tutored. Because you are a smart girl, but math can get tricky. By the time that you're an upperclassman like Liam, you'll be passing tests left and right.''

She laughs then, wiping her tears,''Thanks, Blair. I have no one to talk to like this ever since...''

''I know. My mom died when I was ten. She was killed in a car accident. Blaine adopted me, because I had no other family members that could take me. You should have seen his face the first time that I had to go bra shopping. It's funny now, but it was just plain embarrassing then. Look, they love you. Kurt and Blaine are trying their best. So help them out a little, alright?''

''Alright. Thanks, Blair,'' she smiles a bit ,''I appreciate this.''

''No problem. Now, let's get you home. I have to drop Noah off at Ryder's mom's house before class,'' I start the car, pulling out of the parking lot.

I'm dreading when Grace is this age. She's growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday I found out about her. And Noah, my sweet, strong little boy, is growing up too. Whether I like it or not. Hands on the clock only turn one way.

In a way, I guess Ryder and I have grown up, too. We don't fight nearly as much, choosing to talk things out instead. And we have become more mature. We're more responsible as far as protection goes. We're both finally, finally chasing our dreams while working to provide for Noah. This is it. It's not what I pictured for us, but it's definitely working out.

KPOV-

''No, no, no! Don't do this to me.''

Great. Just fantastic. My car won't start, and I have to get back to the studio to get some work done before I go pick Liam up from school.

''Okay. Looks like we're calling a tow truck,'' I reach for my phone ,''You've got to be kidding me.''

Of course my phone would be dead. And today was going just great. I got into a fight with my husband, had to rush to work to solve a crisis, had to run to this fabric store just to find out that they don't have the fabric I need, and now I'm stranded in the parking lot.

''This can't get any worse,'' I laugh bitterly to myself.

The knock on my window makes me jump, but it's who's standing on the other ide that makes my heart stop.

I roll my window down, taking a deep breath to calm myself, ''Hello, Andrew.''

''Hey. Need some help?''

''I've got everything under control. But thank you.''

Now leave. Please.

''I've been watching you try to start your car. Do you wanna use my phone to call a tow service or something?''

''No, thank you. I can handle this,'' I refuse to look at him again.

''Kurt, it's about to rain. I know you don't want to be stuck here when it does. Now stop being stubborn, use my phone, and call someone. Please,'' I can hear the smirk in his voice, the one that he always got when he knew he was making me see reason.

I hate that smirk.

''Thank you,'' I reach my hand out for his phone ,''This won't take long.''

''What'd they say,'' he asks as soon as I'm done.

''They can't get anybody out here for several hours. Looks like I'm calling a cab,'' I groan, wishing I could just call Blaine ,''Mind if I use your phone again.''

''Where are you headed? I could give you a ride.''

''I appreciate that, but-''

''Kurt,'' Andrew cuts me off ,''Let me do this for you. It's the least I can do after everything that I put you through.''

It would be faster. I definitely can't miss this meeting with Liam's principal.

''Thanks,'' I agree.

I just hope this is the right decision.

BPOV-

''So, Blaine,'' my dad sets his coffee down ,''How are you?''

''I'm fine. I'll be going back to work next month.''

Of course, you'd know that if you actually talked to me once in a while.

''I'm glad to see you're better,'' he nods, 'I did ask your mom and Cooper to keep me updated.''

Yet you couldn't visit me more than once.

''Dad, I don't mean to be rude, but what exactly do you want from me?,'' I get to the point ,''It's just… we don't have the best relationship. Even after we tried to fix it.''

I've done all that I can do.

''I know you think I'm the worst dad in existence, Blaine. But you don't understand how hard it is seeing your child hurt-''

''Really? I have six kids. My oldest son got hurt a lot in school, trying to defend his family. My oldest daughter has suffered through periods of bulimia, and I thought I was going to lose her because of it. Liam, Jade, and Jacob lost their parents, and there are days when all Kurt and I can do is tell them it's going to be okay. We don't know that, but they need to hear it.

And Grace… Grace was in that car with me when I got into a car accident. As soon as I woke up, as soon as I found that out, I just wanted to know she was okay. Their pain is my pain, and I'd do anything to stop it. So, no, don't tell me I don't know how hard it is to see your child hurt.''

So now what's your excuse?

He looks down at the table, an unfamiliar expression on his face.

''There's a family that lives next door to your mother and I,'' he breathes out ,''They have a son. He's out and proud, an actually reminds me a lot of you. I know the world is becoming more accepting, but you know as well as I do that some people don't like that.''

He takes in a shaky breath then.

''A friend of mine is handling his case. He took his boyfriend to the dance, and his boyfriend got away to get help, but they beat the crap out of him. It reminds me of you, reminds me that there are still people out there who would hurt you just for being who you are...''

Now it all makes sense.

''When I go back, I am going to be director of the glee club. That is one of the most diverse clubs. It is represented by different races, religions, sexual orientations, personalities, beliefs… and I consider those kids my kids. A lot of teachers see their students like that. I'd do anything for them because they have become like my family. I have former students that have been so, so helpful during this time. And of course I love Rory, Blair, Liam, Jade, Jacob, and Grace. Kurt and I love our family, and it sucks to know that we can't always protect them. Dad, I know you love Cooper and me. I understand you wanting to protect us, but you and mom can't do that forever. Because I want to protect my kids. All a parent can do is protect their child when they can. and be there for them when they can't.''

I'm there for my kids, even if I'm not happy about the situation.

Now, please… be there for me.

''I guess you're right. When did you become so smart,'' he teases.

''Actually, the kids have taught me a lot.''

It's amazing what you can learn from kids if you just listen.

''Look, dad, I want to work on building a relationship with you. But only if you promise to keep that negativity away from my family,'' I explain ,''I owe that to my husband and kids.''

Even if Kurt and I did leave on a sour note this morning.

''Alright. I can do that,'' he nods.

I hope you're right this time.

Jacob coughs, up from his nap, and I stand to get him.

''Stay here. I'll get him,'' dad stands ,''And answer your phone, because it keeps buzzing. If it's Kurt- and it's none of my business why you refuse to answer- you probably should answer. Never leave problems unresolved.''

I hate that he's right. But I'd better calm down some more before I talk to him. I'd hate to say something I'll regret.

We've both come too far to let something like that stop us.

SugarPOV-

''Hey.''

I look up from my designs to see Rory standing at the door with a brown paper bag.

''Hey, handsome,'' I set my pencil down ,''What's in the bag?''

''I know you forgot your lunch at home. I have a break, so I thought I'd stop by your favorite Chinese food restaurant and bring you something.''

''You're sweet,'' I take the bag from him ,''Do you have time to share with me?''

''Sure,'' Rory pulls up a chair as I place the food on my desk ,''How are the kids?''

''They're fine. I fed them, dressed them, and dropped them off with your mom. Then I went to my first two classes, and now I'm here,'' he smiles.

''Hmm, I love you. Thank you. I'm so stressed out that I forgot to bring enough money to get something to eat,'' I explain, opening a container.

''What's got you so stressed out,'' he looks worried, and it makes my stomach turn.

I hate keeping this from him, but it's for the best right now. I want to be sure before I say anything.

''Work, getting my designs done, making sure the kids eat healthy- not that you're not helping with that- and working with new clients.''

What I leave out is the part of how stressed I am about the possibility of a baby. My period was light, and I could be pregnant.

After our conversation, I know that we're nowhere near ready for this, but I kind of want another baby now.

Why is being a baby so hard.

''I'll help out however I can,'' Rory reaches across the table taking my hand ,''I love you, okay?''

''I love you, too.''

''Talk to my dad, yeah? I'm sure he'll help you out any way that he can.''

''Yeah, I know that he will.''

I married into the most wonderful family.

''This is the first date we've had in a while,'' Rory smirks ,''Are you enjoying yourself.''

''Well, I don't have mash potatoes splattered on my jeans, and there's no peas on the floor, no toddlers asking if they can eat dessert before they've eaten dinner, and no temper tantrums. I'd say I'm enjoying myself.''

Not that I don't love Wendy and Finn, because they are the best thing that have ever happened to Rory and I.

''You know we're going to have to go see Harmony, Blair, and Jacob in the winter showcase. Do you think the twins are old enough to stay quiet?''

''Possibly. I don't know. We'll figure it out,'' I shrug.

This is a simple conversation, but I appreciate it. Looking at Kurt and Blaine, I'd built up this fantasy of married life.

It's nothing like I imagined. Neither is raising kids. Kurt and Blaine make it look simple, seeming to avoid speed bumps while Rory and I can hit every one.

Somehow, it's all worth it. And it's better than I imagined. Yes, I'm exhausted some days. Some days I could yell at Rory until I lose my voice. Some days I wonder how Kurt and Blaine do it, how my parents did it with all of their problems.

Then one of us apologizes first, or takes on the other's responsibility, or the kids smile at me and I realize that I love my life. Rory makes me feel safe in more ways than one. We may be equals, but no one understands how nice that is, to know you're loved and that you don't have to worry about a thing.

''You okay?,'' Rory questions ,''Lost you there for a second.''

''Yeah. I'm just really, really happy.''

''I am, too.''

I don't know how long this will last, because I'll have to tell him the truth eventually.

All I can do is home that we can handle whatever the outcome is.

BPOV-

''Dinner will be ready in an hour,'' I stand in Jade's doorway.

''Okay. Thank you. Blaine?''

''Yeah?,'' I walk in to her room.

''I'm really sorry about this morning. That was out of line,'' she looks ashamed.

''I'm not going to say that it's okay, but I understand. Just tell me what's going on next time, and try to have some more respect for me.''

''Will do. I'm going to take a nap before dinner, if you don't mind.''

''No problem, honey. I love you.''

''I love you, too,'' she smiles settling under the covers.

I close the door as I leave her room, letting her rest for a while.

If my teenaged daughter can swallow her pride and apologize for being out of line. then why can't I?

Jade, Grace, and Jacob are all napping, dinner is in the oven… this would be the perfect time.

Besides, Kurt's worth more than some stupid fight.

His phone rings as I wait patiently, launching into my apology as soon as I hear ''Hello?''

''Hey, Kurt. Look, I know you're probably busy and really stressed out to the point where you could scream. But I want to apologize for this morning. I was out of line, jumping to conclusions an all that. So, to relieve a little of your stress, I helped the kids with some of their homework, started dinner, and Jade and Grace are already home. Look, basically all of this rambling means that I apologize for this morning. I love you, and I should respect you the way that you respect me.''

There's a beat of silence on the other line before he speaks again.

''That's really, really sweet, Blaine. but you really should recognize your husband's voice. This is Andrew, Blaine.''

''Andrew? Why do you have Kurt's phone,'' I ask ,''Is he okay?''

He wouldn't be talking to Andrew, and not tell me. Especially after everything Andrew put him through.

''He's just fine. He was really stressed, and… I helped him out, if you know what I mean.''

I feel sick to my stomach at the implication that Kurt would actually be unfaithful to me. That he would do with someone else what we promised to only do with each other.

''You're lying.''

''Am I, Blaine? Did Kurt tell you he'd be at the studio? Because he is at my apartment, in my bedroom. I've got to go, Blaine. I'll say hi to Kurt for you.''

He hangs up then, leaving me standing in my bedroom, trying to make my heart stop sinking down into my stomach.

Kurt wouldn't sleep with someone else. Not after what we've both been put through. He wouldn't do that to me, just like I wouldn't do that to him.

Unless…

No. I am jumping to conclusions again. Kurt's not like that. He's not chase. He has never tried to hurt me, and he wouldn't now. Not after everything that we have worked too damn hard to build.

There's something more going on. Something that doesn't make sense to this obvious lie.

And I'm going to figure out what it is.

RyderPOV-

''Blair? Babe? I got off work early,'' I walk into the apartment, hanging my coat up before I make my way to the bedroom.

I have the best news for her. We couldn't afford to get her a new costume for the winter showcase recital, so she was going to wear one that Cassandra would provide. So, I talked to Blaine today, and he managed to find one of her mom's old costumes that she could wear.

After giving up so much for both Noah and me, this is the least that I could do for her.

''Blair… what's going on?''

She's standing in her coat, two duffel bags on the bed.

''Ryder… hi,'' she tucks some hair behind her ear.

''Hey. What's with the bags?''

''I'd planned on just going, and calling you later tonight, I guess that was immature, and this is for the best. Ryder… I think that we should break up.''

There's a long silence before I finally find my voice again.

''Why.''

''I just think that we should. It would be better for us in the long run and-''

''That's bullshit, and you know it. Blair you have got to talk to me. Is it me? DId I do something? Or not do something? Because I can change-''

''I don't want you to change. You're wonderful. But believe me, this is for the best.''

''Not if you can't even give me a good reason. Blair, we have been together for how long? Five years. Now tell me the truth.''

''Fine,.'' she shakes her head as her eyes fill with tears ,''It's your mom.''

''My mom? What did she do?''

''She hates me, Ryder. She absolutely resents us being together. We were civil for a while, but that went right out of the window. She thinks I'm a 'slut' who ruined her son's life. And I c-can't take it anymore. I know I shouldn't care what others think, but it's having a serious effect on my health.''

''Fine, then let me talk to her-''

''You have talked to her, Ryder. I've talked to her. But she says the most disgusting things to me. I'm already so stressed out with Noah, work, classes, and the winter showcase. I don't need her comments on my body. When I'm stressed, I sometimes won't eat. Or I'll eat very little. I realized today I haven't eaten much in three days. What scared me the most was that my first thought was 'At least I'll lose weight'. I haven't thought that way in so long, Ryder. ''

Shit.

Mom knows how Blair feels about her body, how she sees something different than what's actually there.

Why would she do that to her?

''Why didn't you tell me? I can fix it-''

''I don't want you to fix anything. She's your mom, and I am not coming between the two of you. This… Ryder, I love you. And I know that part of being adult is not caring what other people think. But I also need to love myself enough to remove myself from a toxic environment if I can. Because I know that I have to take care of Noah, and I need to take care of myself. I… I can't go back, Ryder. And this is is only going to get worse if we get married, because I can't avoid her forever.''

''Blair, please. I can talk to her again-''

''No. She's not going to change,'' she pulls a bag on her shoulder ,''And I love you, okay? Too much to let this keep going on, and one of us does something that we both regret. So you go pick Noah up tonight. I'll come get him tomorrow, and then we can work something out.''

She takes her ring off, opening my hand and placing the ring in it ,''Give this to some girl who loves you, and can accept the fact that you and I have Noah together. And who is strong enough to ignore your mom. You deserve that. And I regret that, for now, I can't give that to you. Maybe someday but… I have to go now.''

''Blair, please. Don't,'' I take her hand ,''We can work this out.''

''Maybe one day. But not now. Please, my stomach is in knots, and I have to go to work,'' she leans up on her toes and kisses me ,''I'll see you later. Bye, Ryder.''

She leaves then, closing the door behind her.

Out of a relationship that took years for us to build up.

No. This isn't it. She loves me, I love her, and we both Noah.

I can fix this. I'll talk to my mom, and she'll change. I'm not losing her.

Not like this, at least.

''There you go, buddy,'' I lay Noah down in his bed ,''Good night, Noah.''

''Night, daddy.''

As far as he is concerned, mommy is with aunt Sugar and uncle Rory, and will be be back tomorrow.

I talked to my mom. She wouldn't explain why she did that to Blair, but she'll talk to her. If I never get Blair back, she at leasts deserves an apology.

''Don't worry, Noah,'' I say to him as he falls fast asleep ,''I'm gonna fix it. I promise.''

She may think that this is for the best, but she's upset right now. We can fix it, I know we can.

Because we never give up without a fight.

KPOV-

''Smoking. Smoking, seriously? Where the hell did you even get a damn cigarette, Liam?'' We're in his car, on the way home.

''They weren't mine,'' he explains.

''Like that makes it okay. You aren't even old enough to buy a damn cigarette, and you got caught smoking, What were you thinking?''

''I didn't even smoke it, Kurt! I promise. Look, the other kid was about to light mine like he did is and his friends, but I changed my mind. Then we got caught. I swear I wasn't smoking though.''

He looks terrified, even more so than he did when I walked into the office for my appointment.

''You're not off the hook. I believe you, but there will be consequences. You have in school suspension for three days. Whether or not you are grounded will be left up to me and Blaine. Now let's go. We can talk about this after dinner.''

After Blaine and I have a chance to discuss everything.

''Hey, guys,'' Liam and I walk into the kitchen to see Blaine feeding Jade, Jacob, and Grace ,''Dinner's done.''

I turn to Liam ,''Go eat. I need to talk to you, Blaine.''

He follows me to the room, closing the door behind you.

''Good. I need to talk to you, too, Kurt. I called you today, Kurt. I'd finally decided that it was time for me to swallowed my pride, and be an adult. Except you didn't answer. Andrew did.''

Shit. I'd borrowed a shirt from Andrew, since mine was soaking wet. I guess he answered the phone while I was changing, and it was charging.

''I was mad, Kurt. And really, really hurt. I just kept thinking 'Oh, wow. My husband is screwing someone else. That's fantastic'.''

''Blaine, I would never-''

''Blair called me today. She broke up with Ryder, and she didn't know if it was the right thing to do. But she wanted them to break up before one of them does something that can't be forgive. Then I set back and thought to myself,'' he cuts me off ,''Kurt loves me. I know that you would do that to me. But that still doesn't explain what is going on. Look, I trust you. But if there is something going on with him then I need to know now. So we can work on it." "Blaine, I'm not Chase. I would never do that to you. I'm not sleeping with anyone but you. My car broke down, and we went back to his apartment to drop his things off and so that I could change my skirt. Andrew must have answered my phone. Whatever he told you isn't true." He is an expert at lying. I would know.

"I know," Blaine sighs, "but I needed to hear you say it. Hear the words come out of your mouth. I'm faithful to you, and I know you're faithful to me. Even with all of the temptations out there. I wouldn't be here, raising four beautiful kids, happier than I've ever been, without you. So I'm not going to jump to conclusions anymore, One day, I may jump too far, offend you, and not be able to fix it.''

''Alright,'' I smile a bit, ''I appreciate it. I'll try to be more careful with my words. Deal?''

''Deal,'' Blaine kisses me ,''I love you.''

''I love you, too.''

We'll have to deal with Liam's punishment, and what to do with Jacob's cold, and every other responsibility.

Right now, we're too wrapped up in the feeling of resolution that comes when we've either fought, or avoided a fight completely.

We'll get back to the real world in a minute.

An anonymous guest reminded me that kids do fight with their parents, and I decided to make it more realistic. So thank you :)
