Episode 18, Chapter 1

Chapter 18

Love was not on Kurt's mind, or it wasn't the way he wanted to be. He was still reeling from his supposed break-up with Blaine, which seemed somewhat surreal. He had to push his other thoughts aside though because besides his devastating love, his mother was actually going to tie the knot, making her secret fling with Mr. Puckerman into a full-blown legal affair. Kurt had wanted to push off the wedding—forever—at least until the summer, but he didn't have much control, and she put him on a clock to get it done before Memorial Day so here they were in late May. He got away with missing the rehearsal dinner, but there was no way out of the actual wedding, not that he could actually find his mother in their apartment.

"Finn, do you know where's mom?"

"I don't know. She didn't come home last night?"

"God, I really hope she's not with Mr. Puckerman, but I guess she might be," Finn said aloud, grossed out at the concept. He'd gotten used to Puck, but that had nothing to say about his father. Kurt also looked squeamish. This was the worst wedding he was ever forced to plan.

Across town, Quinn woke up from her restful sleep and stretched her arms looking a bit like Cinderella as her hair, which had grown a bit, flowed down to her shoulders. The wiggling made her bed jostle and woke up a certain visitor. She nearly pushed him out of her bed as she flexed her arms. Puck rolled and caught himself before going over.

"What are you doing in my bed?" she lashed out with her tongue.

"Calm down, nothing happened! We were plotting how to get rid of Dave, remember?"

"Oh yeah, right," she acknowledged. "You weren't in my bed."

"Did you want me to hurt my back on the floor?" he asked genuinely.

"Maybe," she answered quickly. "Either way, it's morning, and you should go."

"Hey, you don't have to tell me twice. I won't stay where I'm not wanted, unless of course I am wanted?" he questioned and raised his brows curiously.

"Please leave," she huffed with a laugh. He took it kindly, strolling away slowly and giving her a slight wave.

"I'll see you at the wedding," she added carelessly. In response, they both remembered in the same moment and looked shell-shocked at each other. It wasn't the wedding that threw them for a loop, but the revelation Puck had come to after some intense questioning of the waitress from last night.

"Crap! I have a brother!"

"I'm so excited mom's coming back to town!" Rachel cheered happily. She wore a blue and white vintage Bobbie Bros plaid button-front dress and her favorite black Prada Patent Leather Buckle Pumps. [3x03] As she entered the kitchen, Blaine looked like hell, not having gelled or shaven that morning in his favorite blue Paul Smith Multi-Stripe pajama set. [Breakfast in bed scene]

"I'm surprised you want her around."

"This is something you may not understand about the feminine bond between a mother and daughter, but I really need her right now. As you know I was supposed to be Finn's date to his mother's wedding, but now that we're broken up, I can just focus on Maria this weekend," she let out all in one breath. It made her feel better, so she sighed. "I'm just happy she'll get to see me perform."

Rachel's true emotions were nearly concealed, so Blaine had almost missed it but, of course, she was still just as distressed as he was right now. After another beat, she continued, "I'm sorry about you and Kurt. Obviously, you were also going to the wedding, and the wound is still very fresh."
