Klaine: Teach Your Children Well

Chapter 4: Forever and Always

Blaine P.O.V:

I woke up in Kurt's arms and had trouble remembering what happened the night before. And then all at sudden it all came back. Arriving at the airport, the dinner preparation, the hand my dad offered me as greeting, he storming out, crying in Kurt's arms (quite embarrassing for a grown up man), Burt saying all those nice things which he really meant and all night long playing all kinds of games (with me winning definitely more times than Kurt).

I wish I knew how to handle the fact that my dad didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, yesterday evening I took my mom apart - Kurt doesn't know about this and neither do Burt or Carole - to ask her what else he'd said. She didn't want to say specifically so I knew it were really harsh things. She was hurting just as much as me and though she reassured me that she would always stand up for me and she was just glad to see me so happy. She rather saw me happy with a boy than unhappy with some girl. Plus she really liked Kurt, maybe this had to do something with the fact that he was the first boy who made me so happy or maybe it was just his amazing personality. Probably it was a mix of both.

I woke up Kurt so we could get dressed and have breakfast. "Kurt, wake up" I said while I shook him softly. "Oh is it time already?" He said with a sleepy voice. It was adorable. He opened his eyes and gave me a little smile before closing them again. I decided to stand up because it was dangerous for me being in his arms not falling in sleep again. "no stay" Kurt moaned while he pulled me closer again. This made me chuckle. "We have to go downstairs before your parents call out an intervention to get us out of bed" "But it's so comfortable and lovely laying here with you" he spoke and I couldn't agree more with him, nevertheless we couldn't sleep in. "We have some important stuff to do today, remember?" Finally I had his attention. "You're right, I forgot about that"

We got dressed and went downstairs to eat breakfast. Burt was already at work, while Carole was in the kitchen cleaning up the mess we made yesterday. "Good morning" she said the second we walked in the kitchen. "Good morning" Kurt and I said back. "Blaine, your mother called to thank us for the lovely night and she asked if you would return her call today because she has some news she wants to share with you." "About my dad?" I asked and I felt Kurt freeze next to me. "Um, she didn't say why" Carole answered both confused and a little awkward. "I'm gonna give her a call right away" I say while looking at Kurt. "Good, Carole you need a help with that?" Luckily for me he took the hint. He and Carole go on cleaning while I walk out and go to the salon. I take a deep breath before dialing her telephone number. I hold the phone to my ear and hear the beeping, I have no idea why I'm so nervous for this call but I feel like it's important. The same feeling I had last night before my parents came by and we all know how that ended.

"Hi mom, it's me. Carole, um, told me you wanted to speak to me?"

"Honey, I'm so happy you called. Yes, yes that's right there are some things I didn't say to you yesterday, not only because I didn't want to ruin that perfect night but also because I wasn't sure but now I am." she said with a confident voice.

"What's that?" I asked trying to control my nerves. Why the hell was I feeling like this though? It wasn't normal.

"Look I don't want you to feel like you're the cause of this, deal. But I decided I want to divorce your dad. Yesterday made me realize it, but I actually saw this coming for over a year. Things just aren't the same anymore, we barely talk and the way he treated you, his own son. That was just horrible and I don't want to be with someone like that. You're incredible Blaine. So I packed my bags and I'm moving in with my sister for a while until I have found my own place." I'm speechless.

"Are you sure about this mom? I mean you two had a lot of history and I just don't want you throw away all of that because of one argument."

"This wasn't just an argument, Blaine. Honey he walked out on you and I will never forgive him for doing that to you, to our family. Listen, you shouldn't defend him. It's the best for all of us." There is a silence for a bit and I use it to over think the whole situation. I know my mom said it wasn't just me but I still feel responsible for this drama.

"D-does he know yet?" I can't believe he would just let her walk out of this without any fight. This isn't the man I remember from my childhood. Okay it's true, we never had a great relationship but I still remember him fighting for everything, mostly his business. That was the part of him I looked up to most, he wouldn't just give up.

"He doesn't know I actually want a divorce" she takes a deep breath for going on: "but I made it pretty clear yesterday he had the choice making up to you or loosing us all - including me and Cooper-" "Wait, what has Cooper to do with this?" I ask her confused. "I called him right after what happened and he totally agrees with me and he's so mad at your father. Like really outraged, he wanted to take the first flight home to talk to him" "You stopped him right? He has a life back in LA and I don't want him to screw it all just for me-" "Stop Blaine, he was just being your older brother, a good brother. But don't worry, he couldn't come even if he wanted to."

"Good!" I say relieved, my brother belongs in LA not here struggling with any family drama. "So now you know, please don't puzzle your head up. I know I'm making the best choice. Love you Blaine, take care. I'll talk to you soon."

"Love you too mom, bye" I end the phone call and I stare into space for a while. I barely hear Kurt voice when he says: "So what was the big news?"

Kurt P.O.V:

I wanted to give Blaine some space so I stayed in the kitchen with Carole. She tried to start a conversation but it was hard for me to focus on her when all I could think about was Blaine talking to his mom. I wondered what she wanted to discuss, I bet it had to do something with his dad but I had no idea what that could be. I tried to suppress curiosity but I couldn't take it any longer so I entered silently the room where Blaine was.

I heard him saying bye to his mom so the phone call was over, I hoped he wanted to talk about what happened though. He was staring into space when I decided to say something. "So what was the big news?" I say, trying to sound careless. But I do care, a lot. I hope it's nothing too bad. "Mom just decided she want to divorce dad." He says dull. I know he act like he's indifferent about this but I know him better than that. I take a seat next to him on the couch and study his face. "How do you feel about that?" I ask. "Honestly... I-I don't know. I seriously have no idea. Should it make me happy that I ruined the relationship between my parents? Should I regret being gay?" He says fast and I almost can't follow him. 

"Stop there, seriously you doesn't have to feel guilty. Sorry to say this but your dad isn't worth crying over. Who is more important to you? Me, who takes you as who you are imperfectly perfect or your dad, who wants you to change?" I ask serious. He doesn't hesitate. "You are, you always will be. But don't you understand it Kurt, it shouldn't be a choice... Look at your relation with your dad, why can't I have that too? I just wish I could stop feeling sad but I still feel like I blew it." "Stop it!" I say sternly. 

"Blaine, I feel very sorry for you and believe me I wish your dad was more like mine but it isn't and there is nothing we can do to change that. But you love me, I love you, isn't that worth a thousand times more than any of this? Isn't that the only thing that matters? It's hard I know, but we didn't have a choice. You never had a chance." "But what if we end the same way they do?" "You really think that's gonna happen?" He shook his head. "I'm just so scared" he says with a sigh. 

"Listen to me Blaine, what we have is a true love. It's real and nothing or no one can take that away from us. We would never do this to our children and we both know how miserable we are without the other. I know it isn't gonna be easy but the second I married you, no the second I got back together with you, I knew that this was going to be forever. You are the love of my life, I love you so much. I don't think someone ever even experienced a fraction of what we have. You make me a better person. But you don't want me to change, you take me for who I am. We are going to walk in the sunshine together forever remember?" I say with a half smile, this makes Blaine smile too and slowly I see all the worry in his face disappear. "I love you" he simply says and that's enough to make my heart raise. "Come here" I pull him into a hug. "I love you too, my husband. Forever and always."
