A/N: Thank you once again, for the reviews on the previous chapter, and a big welcome and thanks also to those who have also followed or faved this story.
This chapter I am getting out a little earlier, only because I have had nothing else to do since I am currently hacking up my lungs again with stupid bronchitis, so therefore I type and drink juice.
Also in this chapter, we see a little sub plot happening on the side and the maybe temporary inclusion of another character as well. (Plus some sly refs to the new newbies, who I can't really add to the story in any other firm way because it's all planned out to the final chapter!)
Anyway with out me yammering on too much, here is the next chapter. And you all know what to do at the end - review and of course if you haven't done so already fave or follow it!
Love to you all,
KJ xoxoxo.
Chapter 52 –
Three weeks had passed since Rachel had given birth to Elisabeth. Her dads and Puck's mom has returned home to Ohio, but there was still constant calls with them, to assure them that all was going okay with her being a new mom. Top that off with the upcoming thoughts of trying to think of when she and Puck would get married, Rachel was busy, but it wasn't something that she wasn't likening; but in fact relishing in because her life as far as now she was concerned was pretty much perfect.
Sam walked into the coffee shop, where the others were all in their usual area on Thursday afternoon.
"What the heck happened to you" said Brittany, when she saw him and they all noticed that Sam's hair was now a different colur.
"Your hair it's brown" said Rachel.
Sam nodded as he sat down. "Yeah, thought it was time for a change. I had one photographer call me preppy recently, and I don't know being compared to a tv character from the 80's and 90's, isn't something I want to be known as"
"Preppy?" asked Rachel.
"Yeah, it was what they use to call Zack Morris in Saved By the Bell" said Mikki.
"Oh I remember that show" replied Brittany.
"Yeah, Mario is really nice. He came to Funny Girl one night and said he loved it" said Rachel.
"You met Mario Lopez" replied Mikki, looking at her best friend, who had Elisabeth in her arms.
"Uh huh" replied Rachel, with a nod.
"You met Mario Lopez and you didn't tell me, or get his number for me?" asked Mikki.
"Why would you want his number?" asked Blaine.
Mikki looked at her husband.
"Because it's Mario Lopez, and he's freaking gorgeous" replied Mikki.
"Excuse me?" asked Blaine, looking at her.
"Don't worry I still love you and always will. But Mario would totally be one of my free passes" said Mikki.
"Free passes?" questioned Blaine.
"Yeah, it's like a list of people you can hook up with even when you're in a relationship or married, and be like no strings attached" said Sam.
Mikki looked at him and nodded. "That, yes"
"And this Mario Lopez is one of your would be free passes" said Blaine.
"Yes, and it could have happened if Rachel had gotten his number" said Mikki, looking to her friend.
"Well how was I to know that he was one of your passes" said Rachel.
"Hmm, yeah I guess" replied Mikki.
"So how many of these free passes do you have exactly?" asked Blaine, looking at Mikki.
"Well the likely hood of it ever happening is pretty much slim to none, but would say Mario Lopez, Channing Tatum, and George Eads" replied Mikki.
"Agree with you on the Channing Tatum, one. That body" said Rachel.
"Oh really now?" asked Puck, looking to his fiancée.
Rachel looked at him and laughed. "Yeah, and I'm sure there are some girls on your list that if you could hook up with, no strings attached you would"
"You're right, yes" replied Puck, with a nod.
"Who would they be then?" asked Brittany.
"That chick who was in Saved by The Bell, that went and did that stripper movie, she's still smoking hot. Maybe also the original pink power ranger and also that one that was Lois in that Superman series" said Puck.
"Which Lois, because they were both pretty hot" said Blaine.
"The one with the younger cast, not when he was actually Superman" said Puck, looking to him.
"Yep, she's amazing, great bod" said Blaine.
"Oh really now?" asked Mikki, looking at her husband.
"You can have Mario and I can have that Lois chick" said Blaine.
"Hmm, who else would be on your list then?" asked Mikki.
"Katy Perry, definitely" replied Blaine.
"Why doesn't that surprise any of us?" asked Brittany with a laugh.
"Because it's Blaine and we know his love for Katy runs deep" said Sam, with a laugh also.
"Yes, who else?" asked Mikki.
"I don't know can't think of anyone else" replied Blaine.
"What about you Britts?" asked Rachel.
"Oh I don't know. Hugh Jackman is kind of sexy and of course Channing Tatum would definitely have to be on the list" said Brittany.
"Channing is a must for any list" said Rachel, with a laugh.
"Sam, who would yours be?" asked Mikki, looking to him.
"Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Garner and Nina Dobrev" replied Sam.
"Wow, you knew that without even thinking" said Puck.
Sam nodded. "It's always sort of being in the back of my head, if I could ever I totally would"
"And you just reminded me of one I forgot" said Mikki.
"How many passes do you want" said Blaine, looking at her.
Mikki looked at him, and kissed him. "It doesn't matter how many I have because it will never happen"
"Okay, so number four is?" asked Blaine.
"Ian Somerhalder, he use to date that girl Sam said Nina Dobrev. And the things I would let that man do to me" said Mikki, with a smile.
"And what exactly would you let him do to you, that I possibly don't do?" asked Blaine.
"Well if I tell you it wouldn't be a fantasy now would it" replied Mikki.
Blaine just looked at her and pouted.
"But if you're interested to know, I can definitely show you later what I would do to him" said Mikki with a smile.
Blaine nodded and quickly kissed her, and Mikki laughed.
"Okay, wow. Too much info and I don't want creepy visuals of my cousin and best friend doing perverted things on my mind" said Puck.
"Jealous because you haven't gotten any in a while Puck?" asked Blaine, with a smile.
"Oh shut up" replied Puck, as the others laughed.
"Wait not even like celebratory you and Rachel are now engaged sex?" asked Sam.
"I had just given birth Sam, so what do you think" replied Rachel.
Sam looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.
"Not even like now, it's been three weeks" said Sam.
Puck shook his head, and looked towards the door. "And Mik what would you do if I told you Mario Lopez has just walked through the door"
"What" shrieked Mikki and turned to the door, as well as the others also turning, to look.
"Got ya" said Puck, with a laugh, when they saw that he was not there, or in fact no one coming in at all to the coffee shop.
"Asshole" said Mikki, glaring at her cousin.
Puck laughed and nodded.
"You totally would have though if he had" said Blaine.
Mikki looked at him and shook her head. "Why would I when I have all I want and need right here"
"Not believing you" replied Blaine.
Mikki quickly kissed him and looked to the door again, which this time did open and she gasped when she saw who the person walking in was.
"Ry?" she asked, when she saw her younger brother.
"Hey Mikki, hi guys" replied Ryder as he walked over to them.
"Hi" the others chorused back.
"Ry, what are you doing here?" asked Mikki, as he sat on the sofa next to his older sister.
"I'm dropping out of college" replied Ryder.
Mikki looked at him in alarm, as did the others.
"Dropping out?" asked Blaine.
Ryder looked to his brother in law and nodded. "Yeah"
"Okay why, you have one more year left" said Mikki.
"I know, but I just can't do it anymore, it's too hard" replied Ryder.
"Too hard?" questioned Mikki.
"Yeah, one of my professors is a real jerk and he doesn't understand that sometimes I just need a little extra time on assignments and that, and has pretty much said if I don't hand in when due he will fail me for the rest of the year, so I won't even graduate then. So what's the point of staying when I know I will fail" replied Ryder.
"He knows you have dyslexia, right" said Puck.
Ryder looked at his cousin and nodded. "Yes, and he said I can't use that as an excuse for the rest of my life"
"What a jerk" said Brittany.
"I agree, dyslexia isn't something that will ever go away. You're always going to have it" said Rachel.
"I'm dyslexic, it's why I never went to college" said Sam.
"Really, I didn't know it was because of that" said Brittany.
"It's not something I go around telling people, because they then will say something about me modelling or that, but the fact that I had a hard time trying to understand in high school, is the reason why I didn't even think about college" replied Sam.
"So you know where I'm coming from then" said Ryder.
Sam looked at him and nodded. "Totally do"
"Okay Ry, I got to ask why come here though?" said Mikki.
"Because I was thinking maybe I could get some work here in New York" he replied.
"Do mom and dad know you've dropped out?" asked Mikki.
Ryder shook his head. "I was kind of hoping maybe you could tell them that, they'd try and tell me how wonderful I am and all that kind of stuff, and I thought maybe if you were to tell them it wouldn't be as bad"
"Oh thanks, make your big sister out to be the bad guy" replied Mikki.
"Please Mik, I can't go back to OSU" said Ryder.
"Sorry Ry, I'm not doing it" said Mikki.
"Why, why not?" asked Ryder.
"Because I think dropping out of college with only one year to go is stupid" said Mikki.
"Stupid, like me" replied Ryder.
"I didn't say that, don't go twisting my words" said Mikki.
"Well you're meant to be my sister, you're meant to be on my side" said Ryder.
"And I am, I didn't say I wasn't. I just don't think dropping out is the best idea, just because of one asshole professor" said Mikki.
"And we've all had them too, professors who think they are the best in the entire college and end up being nothing but hated by the students" said Blaine.
"Yeah I had one guy, if you were even ten seconds late to class, you were locked out and marked absent and if you missed an assignment or something, too bad. You had to take an incomplete" said Puck.
"Really?" asked Ryder, looking at him.
Puck nodded. "Yep, had to retake the class over the summer, really sucked"
"I never had that problem, all my teachers were nice" said Brittany.
"We had some at NYADA that weren't always nice, but nothing like that" said Rachel.
"And I could never do that to someone who is wishing to learn, and stop them from doing it" said Blaine.
"So you all think I shouldn't drop out then" said Ryder, looking to the other six adults.
"Not when you are this close to graduating Ry" said Mikki, with a shake of her head.
"I just really don't want to fail" replied Ryder.
"Okay, well how about I make you a deal then" said Mikki.
"Deal, what sort of deal?" asked Ryder, looking to his sister.
"You finish college, graduate to the best of your ability. And then once that is done, you then come here to New York and for a while if you want to that is, and if you want you can come and work with me at the advertising company" said Mikki.
"Umm, that's not my degree though Mik" said Ryder.
"True, but sports management isn't that far removed really from advertising, you're still selling in a way, it's just a product and not a person. And it would look good on the CV as well" replied Mikki.
Ryder nodded. "Okay, umm yeah I guess that would be good. Thanks"
"Sure anything for my fave brother" said Mikki, with a laugh.
"I'm your only brother" replied Ryder, with a laugh.
"Which is why you are my fave" said Mikki, with a smile.
Ryder nodded and gave her a hug. "I'll head back to college on Monday then. Okay, if I stay here for a few days"
"Most definitely, we can have some sibling time" replied Mikki, with a smile, returning the hug.
"That be cool" said Ryder, and then he continued to talk with his sister and the other five adults in the coffee shop.

The next day, Sam was sitting in the coffee shop at one of the tables, making notes on his phone in regards to the person who he had just spoken with about the spare room that he was finally deciding to put up for lease in his apartment.
Although he wasn't needing the money, he knew that it was silly to have an empty room just sitting around when he could at least be getting some money for it, whilst also enabling someone to have a place to stay.
The person who had just left, a slightly nerdy music loving guy called Roderick, was so fast the best out of the two he had so far spoken with. The other being a gay hopeful football player, who in Sam's opinion was far too cocky and arrogant, and thought Sam working as a model was rather funny.
"Can I get you another coffee, Sam?" asked Kurt, coming over to the table.
"Yeah that be good, thanks" replied Sam.
Kurt nodded and took Sam's now empty cup from him. "So what about that one you just spoke with"
"Well he was better than the first one that's for sure" said Sam, with a laugh.
"Hmm, I know I always hated the idea of looking for a roommate, but I kind of lucked out with Bree" said Kurt.
"Is it weird living with a girl?" asked Sam.
"No, not at all" replied Kurt, shaking his head.
"Okay, yeah the other one who seemed potentially interesting from answering my ad online, is a girl. And I don't know if it will be weird living with a girl" said Sam.
"Well, you have to make the promise to yourself that you won't hit on her" said Kurt, with a laugh.
"Did you have that problem with Bree, did she try and hit on you?" asked Sam.
"No I made it very clear in the beginning that I was gay. But you're obviously not and you have to make sure that you are going to keep this roommate thing completely platonic" said Kurt.
"What if she's totally hot though" said Sam.
"Well then you're screwed" replied Kurt, with a smile.
"Thanks, thanks a lot" said Sam.
Kurt laughed. "Yeah sure not a problem, I'll grab another coffee for you"
"Thanks man" said Sam, as Kurt walked back to the counter.
Sam sighed to himself, thinking what Kurt had said over and was inclining to giving the room to Roderick, when a girl was then standing at the table.
"Are you Sam?" she asked.
Sam looked up and nodded. "I am, Sam I am"
The girl laughed. "Hi, I'm Penny. We spoke on the phone"
"Hi Penny, take a seat" replied Sam.
"Thanks" she replied and took the stool opposite of Sam.
"So, you're looking for a room to rent obviously" said Sam.
Penny nodded. "Yeah, I didn't go into much detail on the phone as to why. But I have recently split from my boyfriend and at the moment still living with him which is kind of awkward"
"Yeah that would be" said Sam.
"It is, and as much as I do still care for him and all that, Rick and I don't want the same things anymore" she replied.
"What would those things be?" asked Sam.
"Well I asked him if he ever saw our relationship going further, like as in marriage and maybe kids also. And he just looked at me and said no and that was it" replied Penny.
"So you broke up with him" said Sam.
Penny nodded. "Yeah, we've been together five years and he wasn't even in to the idea of marrying me or having a future with me"
"That kind of sucks" said Sam.
"It does, so let me just say first of straight out. If you do rent your spare room to me, I am not looking for any kind of relationship for a while" said Penny.
"Umm, yeah I get that. And I wouldn't even think of trying anything on you. I respect that you would maybe be my roommate" said Sam, as Kurt came back over with the fresh coffee.
"Here you go" said Kurt, putting the coffee on the table for Sam and then looked to Penny. "Can I get you anything?"
"No, not at the moment. But thank you" replied Penny with a smile.
"Sure let me know if you do" said Kurt, with a smile of his own and walked off.
"So I guess you're probably interviewing other people as well then for the apartment" said Penny, looking back to Sam.
"Yes, but did you want to maybe come around now to the apartment and check it out and see what you think, if you have the time" said Sam.
"Sure, if that's okay with you" replied Penny.
"Yeah it is" replied Sam, and he quickly finished his coffee off and then headed over to his apartment with Penny, so she could have a look and see what she thought of it.

Friday night, Ryder was still in New York and was planning to go back to college on Sunday, and finish his degree to the best of his ability. Unbeknown to Ryder though, Mikki the night before had contacted Kitty via messenger and told her what Ryder had been thinking of doing, and she said she would also give him a call when he got back to college, to make sure that he was okay and that if he needed to talk anytime, she was also there for him.
Blaine had gone to grab some Chinese takeout, which left Mikki and Ryder in the apartment where they were engaged in a full out war game of Mario Kart on the Wii that Mikki had purchased.
"Oh come on" said Mikki, as her car with Princess Peach spun around and she went back to the 5th position in the race and Ryder's character of Luigi, sped past her.
Ryder chuckled as he got up to 2nd place, and Mikki quickly glanced at her brother, before managing to race back up to 3rd spot.
"Don't think you're going to win, sis" said Ryder.
"Wanna bet?" asked Mikki, with a laugh.
"Sure, how much you putting up?" asked Ryder, with a quick smile to her.
"Twenty bucks for the winner" said Mikki.
"Deal" replied Ryder, with a nod as the two of them went back to all out focus on the game, each trying to win.
They both started on the third lap around the track almost together when there was a knock on the apartment door.
"Didn't your husband take his keys" said Ryder.
"I don't know, but it wouldn't matter anyway if he had because the door is open" said Mikki, as there was a knock on the door again.
"Seriously" said Mikki, pausing the game and throwing the steering wheel controller on the sofa and standing.
"That's a forfeit, I win" said Ryder.
Mikki looked at her brother.
"Twenty bucks, thanks" said Ryder.
"It's paused, I am still going to kick your ass" she replied as she walked over to the door and opened it. "Seriously can you not open the door to your own apartment yourself"
"Well if it was my apartment yes, but it's not now is it, and it would be just rude of me to barge on in, because you could be doing stuff with Blaine that none of us ever want to see" replied Kitty, on the other side.
"Kit, what are you doing here?" asked Mikki, looking at her younger sister and seeing that she had a small rolling suitcase with her.
"What a girl can't come and visit now?" asked Kitty, giving Mikki a quick hug and peck on the cheek.
"Sure, but seriously what is with you and Ry both showing up just unannounced" said Mikki.
"Hmm sorry about that, I probably should have told you. But I got to thinking last night, I also want to talk with Ry in person" said Kitty.
"Okay" replied Mikki.
"So are you going to let me in or what?" asked Kitty.
"Sure, come on in sis" replied Mikki, as she held the door open and Kitty rolled her bag inside.
"Hey bro" said Kitty as she went over to the couch.
"Kit Kat, what are you doing here?" asked Ryder, as she neared it and Mikki closed the apartment door.
"Well first of all" replied Kitty, and hit him lightly across the back of the head.
"Oww, gees Kitty. What the hell" said Ryder.
"That's for being a knuckle head and thinking that dropping out of college is smart" said Kitty.
"Well I'm not, okay. And how do you even know that I was thinking it anyway" said Ryder.
"Mouse messaged me last night, told me" replied Kitty.
"Thanks a lot Mouse" said Ryder, looking to Mikki who was back over near them also.
"Just be lucky it was only Kitty I told and not mom and dad" replied Mikki.
"Exactly, and seriously Ry, you're way smarter than you ever give yourself credit for" said Kitty, sitting next to him.
Ryder looked at his other older sister and smiled. "Thanks Kit Kat" he replied, giving her a hug.
"Hmm, so where is hobbit husband?" asked Kitty, looking to Mikki.
"Blaine, is getting take out. And I am guessing you are probably going to be wanting to eat also, so I might give him a call and ask him to grab some more" replied Mikki.
"What you getting?" asked Kitty.
"Chinese" replied Mikki as she grabbed her cell phone to call Blaine.
"Well you know my faves" said Kitty.
"Yep" replied Mikki as she walked a little way into the kitchen area and called Blaine to get him to add to their order.
"So you came all this way from Chicago, to tell me that I'm a knuckle head, huh?" asked Ryder looking to Kitty, with a laugh.
"Well that, and also I haven't got a chance to meet my new little cousin either" replied Kitty.
"Yeah, Elisabeth is adorable" said Ryder with a nod, as Mikki came back over to the couch and sat next to Kitty.
"Blaine should be about another fifteen minutes, he'd only just ordered so he was going to add some more stuff to it" replied Mikki.
"Cool thanks" replied Kitty.
"Sure, it's not that often I get to have both my sibs here at the same time" said Mikki, with a smile.
"Aww does mousey miss her lil brother and sister?" asked Kitty.
"Shut up" replied Mikki, giving Kitty a playful shove.
Kitty laughed, and playfully hit Mikki.
"So how long you in the city for?" asked Mikki.
"Just till Sunday also, can't really get out work on Monday" replied Kitty.
"Okay so that gives us two whole brother sister days" said Ryder.
"Yes, and like I said one of them better be Puck letting me see my little cousin" said Kitty.
"We can see them tomorrow" said Mikki.
"Good, because I swear if you and Blaine don't make me an aunty really soon, you're going to have some explaining to do" said Kitty.
Mikki looked at her sister. "It's not that we're not trying to have a baby"
"Yeah, well I'm with Kit Kat on this, hurry it up because I really want to be an uncle also" said Ryder.
Mikki looked between her brother and sister, and nervously chewed on her lip.
"You're not pregnant now are you?" asked Kitty, with a smile.
Mikki shook her head. "No, I was though a few months back"
"What do you mean was?" asked Ryder.
"Mouse, what happened?" asked Kitty taking her hand and looking at her older sister full of concern.
"I miscarried" replied Mikki, with a small sad smile.
"Ohh, Mouse" said Kitty, hugging her.
Mikki smiled and returned her younger sisters hug.
"You didn't tell us" said Ryder, also stepping into comfort Mikki by running his hand up and down his sisters back.
"I didn't tell anyone, you two are the first to even know that I was pregnant" replied Mikki.
"Blaine, didn't he know about this?" asked Kitty.
Mikki moved out of her sister's embrace and looked at her. "Of course he knew. Just no one else did, I was only seven weeks or around that mark when I did lose the baby"
"Still Mik, keeping this bottled up forever how long it's been, can't be good for you. The added stress of knowing this happened, could be one of the reasons why now you are struggling to get pregnant again. Because your mind is fighting against your body" said Kitty.
"Maybe" replied Mikki.
"And not just you, if Blaine hasn't told anyone this. It could be his mind fighting against him as well" said Kitty.
"I guess" replied Mikki, with a nod.
"And you know you can always talk to us about anything right, you don't always have to be the protective one or anything like that. We're also her for you, anytime. Just like you are for me and Kit" said Ryder.
"Exactly, what Ry said, and also we're here for Blaine as well, because he's family as well to us" said Kitty, looking at Mikki and then her younger brother. "And see Ry, you are smart because right there, knowing exactly what to say. That's worth more than any degree or what some stupid professor wants to think of being smart is"
Ryder laughed. "Yeah"
"Thank you, both of you. I guess not talking about it, wasn't doing me or Blaine any good. So thank you for just being here, even if neither of you being here was entirely planned" said Mikki.
"Aww, mousey sandwich" said Kitty, with a laugh, wrapping her arms around Mikki again.
Ryder laughed and got up and moved over to sit on the other side of Mikki and also hugged her.
Mikki laughed. "Love you guys, thanks" she replied as the three of them hugged one another and then continued to talk until Blaine arrived back home with the Chinese takeout.

The next day, Mikki had contacted Puck earlier in the mid morning and told him that Kitty was also in the city over the weekend, and that she was wanting to meet the newest addition to the extended family.
A short while later therefore, Mikki, Blaine, Ryder and Kitty were in the coffee shop along with Puck, Rachel, Jayden and Elisabeth; as well as Brittany who had already been there with they had arrived.
"She is so sweet and adorable" said Kitty as she sat in one of the chairs, with Elisabeth in her arms.
"Don't tell me Kitty Kat is getting clucky on us" said Puck, with a laugh to his cousin.
"No, of course not. I am so not ready to have my own child, but I certainly do appreciate that my cousin has them, and hopefully soon my sister will. So I can get all the baby cuddles I need" replied Kitty.
"Well you know you're welcome to come and visit us at anytime" said Rachel.
"Thank you" replied Kitty, looking to her with a smile.
"And I think if you do move to the city after you graduate Ry, you've got a buddy in Jay there" said Puck, looking to his other cousin, who was sitting on the floor at the coffee table with the young boy, the two of them busy coloring in a superhero color book that Puck had bought along with him.
"Yes, and Ry has even managed to stay in between the lines as well" said Mikki, patting her younger brother on the head. "Good boy, we'll give you a gold star later"
Ryder turned to his older sister and poked out his tongue and the others laughed, as Sam came over to them along with Penny.
"Hey guys" said Sam, as he perched on the arm chair that Kitty was in and ticked the bottom of Elisabeth's feet.
"Hey" said Kitty, looking at him. "My baby cuddle time"
Sam looked at her and laughed. "Yeah, I didn't realize you were in the city"
"Just got here yesterday. Mik told me Ry was here and what he was thinking of doing so I had to come and knock some sense into him also" said Kitty.
"And by that she means she actually did hit me over the back of the head" said Ryder, looking at her.
Kitty smiled at him. "Well you have so few brain cells, what would be losing a few more"
"And you also wanted to meet Elisabeth, not just bash up your little brother" said Blaine.
"That as well" replied Kitty, with a nod to her brother in laws comment.
"Yeah, well it's good to see you again. Although the three Kapowski siblings in the one place, I don't know if that is ever good" said Sam, with a laugh.
"It's not, as we all know by now" replied Puck, with a laugh of his own as Blaine nodded his head.
Mikki turned to her husband and laughed. "And you're only agreeing with Puck, because the three of us completely whipped your ass on Mario Kart last night"
"Yes, well it should be said that you three are like mental on that, I'd hate to see you in actual go karts or something" replied Blaine.
"That would be dangerous I'm guessing" said Brittany.
"Oh very" said Blaine, looking to her and nodding.
"As you can tell, like I told you my friends are kind of mental" said Sam, looking to Penny.
"Yes, I can see" replied Penny with a laugh.
"So who's your friend Sam?" asked Rachel, looking to him.
"This is Penny, and she's actually my new roommate" replied Sam.
"Roommate, wow. Didn't realize you were looking for one" said Brittany.
"Yeah, well I figure it's kind of silly to have a room just sitting there that could be used by someone. So I put an advert online, had a few people answer it, and Penny was the one liked the best here. So it's her room now" said Sam.
"It's lovely to meet you all. Sam has said you are all really great friends" said Penny.
"We are, yeah" replied Blaine, with a nod to Penny.
"Uh huh, so um anyway that's Blaine who just answered you then" said Sam, pointing to him.
"You're the one who use to live there" said Penny.
Blaine nodded. "Yeah, I live across the hall now with Mikki though"
"Right and Mikki, who is next to him, she and Blaine are married" said Sam.
"Yes you mentioned that last night" said Penny.
Sam nodded. "Yeah, and then that's Brittany, Puck and Rachel" said Sam, pointing to the other three of his main friends.
"Nice to meet you Penny" said Brittany.
"You too" replied Penny, with a smile to the blonde.
"And the other two are Mikki's younger siblings, Kitty and Ryder, they don't actually live here in New York. And the two little ones are Puck and Rachel's kids, Jayden and Elisabeth" said Sam.
"Hey" said Kitty, giving Penny a smile.
"And Jayden technically isn't mine though" said Rachel.
"Oh don't talk rubbish, you're going to be his step mom. So totally yours to a degree" said Puck.
"And that is something we really have to be discussing with Santana as well, she is the one who is his actual mom" said Rachel.
"I'm confused" said Penny.
"I had a child with my now ex wife, who is now in a same sex relationship and married to Dani; Jayden is that child. And I also have a child with Rachel now, who is my fiancée" said Puck.
"Okay, yeah that's cool. I come from a blended family as well, my parents split when I was like three and they both remarried as well. So I have two moms and two dads, and like eight grandparents" said Penny.
Puck nodded. "Kind of know where you are coming from. I have a step brother, as well. So know all about the blended family"
Penny nodded.
"So sit down Penny, and tell us a bit about yourself. Where you're from and all that" said Rachel.
"Umm sure okay" replied Penny, grabbing one of the vacant chairs from a nearby table and then sitting down to talk with the others, who she would now most likely be coming into regular contact with.

Monday evening, after dinner; Blaine was doing some grading of papers at the kitchen table and Mikki was sitting on the sofa, talking on her cell phone to Ryder who she had called to make sure had got back to college okay.
"Well that's good though, right" said Mikki, as she spoke with her brother on the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, it is just didn't think he would actually apologize though for saying that" replied Ryder, after he had explained to her that the professor who had said he wouldn't get extensions or anything like that, could go to him for help if he needed it.
"Maybe he realized that he was being a complete jerk and all that" said Mikki.
"Maybe" replied Ryder.
"Okay, well I should let you go so that you can catch up on what you missed the two days you were here" said Mikki.
"Yeah, and thanks for letting me just hang out then. I think I just needed a few days and being with you and Kitty, as well as the others was just awesome" replied Ryder.
"You know I am only a call away if you ever need to talk" said Mikki.
"I know, thanks sis. I'll let you go okay. Say hey to Blaine for me" said Ryder.
"Will do, love you bro" said Mikki.
Ryder gave a laugh. "Yeah love you too Mousey"
"Bye" replied Mikki, with a laugh.
"Later" said Ryder, and Mikki ended the call.
"All okay, with Ry?" asked Blaine from over at the kitchen table.
"Uh huh" replied Mikki, as she stood from the sofa and went over to where he was and wrapped her arms around him, placing a kiss on the top of his head.
"So did the professor apologize?" asked Blaine.
"Yeah, how did you know that?" asked Mikki.
"Oh no reason" replied Blaine.
"Blay" said Mikki, looking at him as he pulled her around to himself and then on to his lap.
"Okay so I might have made a quick call today to Ryder's college and spoke with that professor" said Blaine.
"You rang and spoke with him?" asked Mikki.
Blaine nodded. "Yeah, I told him that this was my brother in law and he has worked so hard to even get to where he is, and the thought of him dropping out when it wasn't something he really wanted to do, or his sisters or me either wanted, when he was so close to graduating because someone who should be there to guide him was making him feel this bad and like he wasn't good enough; well it just isn't something as a educator he should be doing"
"You are so amazing, you know that" said Mikki, kissing him.
"I just didn't like seeing Ryder, depressed as he was. Or you either, because I know you worry about him" said Blaine.
Mikki nodded. "That's sweet"
"Well I like to think of Ryder as a little brother, I was the youngest and I never had anyone to sort of be the big brother too" replied Blaine.
"Hmm, and I know Ry thinks of you like a big brother, and it's good that you can talk to him with stuff" said Mikki.
Blaine nodded.
"Which is why I think you will make the most amazing dad" said Mikki.
"You're not, are you?" asked Blaine, looking at her with a smile.
Mikki looked at him and shook her head. "No, sweetie I'm not"
"Oh" replied Blaine.
"But I think talking about it with Kitty and Ryder probably did do us good, you know. Get all those emotions out" said Mikki.
"I think so too" replied Blaine, kissing her.
"So, how much more do you need to be grading here?" asked Mikki, as she continued to kiss him.
"Umm why?" asked Blaine, with a laugh.
"Oh no reason, just we do have an empty apartment once again. Don't have my two siblings here like we had the last couple of days" said Mikki, with a smile.
"Yeah, I totally get where you're going with this" replied Blaine, with a smile also.
"Good" replied Mikki, quickly kissing him and then standing up, grabbing Blaine's hand and pulling him up also.
"So Mrs Anderson, lead the way" replied Blaine, with a laugh; and the two of them headed to the bedroom of their now sibling free apartment.
End Note: So Sam has a new roommate, in the form of Penny - will this become something more or not?! What do you guys think?! Yes or no?!
And I finally had Mikki actually tell some people about her miscarriage. I think having it be her brother and sister, two people who she is probably the closet with in life (apart from Blaine), was more beneficial then her telling her friends; who will find out eventually I assure you.
And just imagine in your heads Blaine also talking with Kitty and Ryder later on when back about the whole thing as well - it would have just made the chapter incredibly long and too Mikki/Blaine centered if I was to have written it.
As for the who would if you could totally without any consequences hook up with - I think you can all probably guess who one of mine would be, that I didn't mention; because along with the others that I did, they would all totally be my no consequence hook up. ;)
So until next time for this story (or maybe one of the others, lets see how me being sick can get me to typing out more of those needing updates!),
lots of love,
KJ xoxoxo
