Two Daddies

Chapter I

                Blaine arrived at the kindergarten to pick up his 5 year old son. As soon as Adrian saw him he came running and jumped on his father saying:

"Daddy B!"

Blaine hugged him firmly and gave him a kiss on the cheek. While he collected the backpack and lunchbox of the little one, the principal approached them:

"Mr. Anderson? I need a word with you and your husband, can we schedule an hour next week?"

Blaine was taken a little by surprise:

"Is there anything wrong with Adrian, Mrs. Bane? Anything we should worry or take any precaution?"

"Nothing to worry; Adrian is a wonderful child. But we still need to talk."

"Okay then; I'll talk to Kurt and we'll call to set up an appointment."

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson, I appreciate that."

Blaine walked to the subway still carrying the little one in his arms. Adrian asks:

"Where's Daddy K?"

Blaine started tickling his son as he answered:

"Oh, this is how you treat me? I left work early to pick you up at school and you only care about Daddy K?"

Adrian was laughing loudly:

"No, I love you too, Daddy B! But it's Daddy K who picks me up at school."

"Don't you remember he had that meeting today? Maybe he'll be already home when we get there."

When they got home Kurt wasn't there yet, but Blaine soon received a phone call from his husband:

"Blaine, I'm sorry. It's a mess around here. They could only meet me one hour after what they had schedule with me. I won't be home for an hour or later."

"But did you get the job?"

"I don't know yet. We're on a coffee break; I think they liked me but nothing official yet. And there's something more: I ran into your brother here in the building..."

Blaine gasped and, as he was not answering, Kurt went on:

"He asked me if we could have dinner with him today, I said we couldn't go out tonight because of Adrian and he asked me if he could come over. I haven't answered him. What do you say?"

"So now Cooper wants to meet Adrian?"

Blaine's tone was very angry and Kurt tried to calm him down:

"I think he's seeking for peace, honey. He said I should consult with you and give him an answer later. What should I tell him?"

Blaine sighed loudly on the phone. After a beat, he answered in a small voice:

"Tell him to come."

"I knew you'd be the bigger person. Could you get Ady prepared?"

"Prepared as in dressed as dapperly as possible?"

"No, but that's an excellent idea. Prepared as in tell him he has another uncle."

Blaine sighed again. He's not sure if he's ready to have this conversation with Adrian and to deal with all the consequences Cooper can bring:

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Thank you, gorgeous. I miss you both a lot, I'm counting down the minutes to be back home. Love you."

"Love you too. Bye."

Blaine put the phone down and went back to the little table where he and Adrian were drawing. He started the conversation:

"It was Daddy Kurt. He told he would come home late but he's bringing a gest. Do you know you have an uncle that's Kurt's brother, right?"

Adrian opened up a big smile:

"Uncle Finn is coming tonight?"

Blaine kept his eyes fixed in the drawing as he continued:

"No, not Uncle Finn. You have another uncle; one who's my brother. It's your uncle Cooper"

Adrian looked inquired:

"Why I don't know him?"

Blaine still didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes:

"Because he works a lot and lives in another city. But now he's visiting here and wants to meet you. Will you meet him?"

"I don't know Daddy, will he... will he love me?"

Blaine looked deeply into Adrian's eyes; his son was looking scared. He smiled:

"Of course, Ade. Who doesn't? You're adorable."

He kissed his son in the forehead. Adrian seamed a little calmer. Blaine got up and reached his hand for his son as he said:

"Daddy Kurt asked me to get you dapper. Let's go change those clothes."

"Can I be a superhero?"

Blaine knew that Kurt wouldn't like it at first, but he'd understand it was important for Adrian to feel safe:

"Of course."
