Coming Home

Part 1

Barry's POV

So everyone keeps bugging me about going to the stupid concert and my family just thinks I know the Warblers and New Direction's but little do they know I am the snarkiest warbler alive. Not something I am proud of but hey I am and will openly admit to it. "Fine everyone I will go! Just stop pestering me!" I say. The all smile in success. "Since it is tonight I am going on home to get ready seeing as it starts in an hour." I say and head on home Caitlin my cousin, and Santana my twin sister following me. We get to my house which is a mansion I inherited from my parents and my younger siblings Skylar and Stacey walk over each holding a babbling baby on their hips. I smile and take the children reach to me. "I do not know how you manage to take care of two babies alone along with a 12 year old and a 14 year old." Stacey says. "You learn to do things on your own when your husband is in the military and away half of the time. Hunt had promised me once he came home this time he was retiring and not going back. Well he never made it home." I say with a few tears trying to threaten to fall. "Hey it will get better soon I promise. But you have us all" Santana says and I nod. "I am going to go put them down for their nap and take a quick shower. You guys know where everything is at." I say and they nod. My 12 year old and 14 year old walk into the house before I can move and I reach one of the twins over to Skylar when I see Stella my 12 year old crying. I wrap my free arm around her and my 14 year old son Noah standing there seeming like I am going to yell at him. "Why is your sister crying and why do you look like you think I am going to yell at you." I ask. "Well I took her out since she got an a+ on her test and getting bumped up to seventh grade and well she saw a girl who had been bullying her and she punched her and I let her and she thinks you will be mad at her." He says. I reach him the other twin and I bend down to her level. "Baby girl I am not mad at you. I have been there multiple times and something that makes us all laugh to this day is when I got into a fight one day when I was 13 my aunt shipped me off to my biological dads who couldn't take me in because of legal reasons. But her words to me that day were, 'I love you but you are a Satan spawn child' and we still laugh at that to this day." I say and she smiles. "Trust me your brother has gotten into as many fights as your father has." I say. "Daddy what was papa like." She asks. You see he wasn't around much when she was actually old enough to remember him clearly. She had brain damage when she was younger. I fell pregnant with the twins when he was able to come home for one day but then had to leave the next morning. You get the gist of what happened that night. "Well your father was a very happy man. He was strong and brave. But one of the best traits I saw in your father was how good of a father he was. He loved you both so so much and when you were born I had gotten really sick after I had you. Well while I was recovering still when they let me come home your dad took care of you and your brother when I couldn't. He had the biggest heart I have ever seen. He loved you two so much. He was one of the best people I have ever met." I say softly. She nods and her big brother takes her to play. I have still yet to stand back up. "I see so much of Hunter come through in her. Noah is more of me made over but with Hunter's added attitude. But Stella is Hunter made over." I say looking at the floor. I stand up. "I think I am gonna go lay the twins down and go take a hot shower and get ready for tonight. The sad fact is I still fit in all of my blazers perfectly. Better then I did in high school." I say and they all share a look and I take the twins and lay them down for a nap and go into my room and lay out my blazer and everything for the thing tonight. I will have the opening number according to Santana which is Somebody's kid which I will sing once everyone gets reunited with their families. So yeah. I set on my bed looking at a picture of me and Hunt on our 2 year anniversary.
