The rain lashed against the living room windows of the Anderson-Hummel household sending a little more misery through the family that was gathered in the large room dimly lit with just the lamps on situated on the end tables. Kurt and Blaine sat together on the large corner sofa with Leila and Toby while Caden and Connor lounged on the smaller seat next to them.

"We advise you to stay indoors, do not travel unless necessary and to be prepared for this weather to take a turn for the worse"

Blaine let out a sigh and looked down at Kurt who pulled the large brown throw up under his chin in order to keep the chill away, Blaine smiled and run a hand through his husband's hair "Everything will be fine I promise you we are prepared for anything"

Kurt looked up into those honey eyes smiling down on him "I know we have just not had to deal with this kind of thing before….not this bad anyway" Kurt looked back to the screen before giving a glance over to Connor who looked exhausted and not well at all due to the fact his family had disowned him just a few nights before, along with the fact he seemed to hate thunder which made Kurt want to hug the boy till he fell asleep like he did when Caden was little.

"You Okay Connor?" Kurt asked sweetly. The boy looked up sleepily and nodded a reply obviously not wanting talk about the last few days. Caden wrapped an arm around him and let the boy lay against his side, an action kurt and Blaine would probably not be so comfortable with just casually but given the circumstances they let it go. They were actually both admiring their own son and just how caring the boy really was, sometimes he thought the boy had a bigger heart than Blaine which made filled him with pride for the boy.

They were interrupted by the knocking at the door that didn't come to an end…obviously someone was in a hurry. Blaine quickly unfolded his legs from under himself and opened the door as rain swept through the open door a tall man quickly barged in with a bundle in his arms. Sebastian. His black rain coat dripped onto the hard wood floor and the hood obviously too large for his head covered both him and Amelia, he swept back his hood and unzipped the jacket letting more water spill to the floor.

"We need to borrow you basement, we don't have one and if this thing gets upgraded to a warning I don't want to be at home when it hits" Sebastian said placing his toddler on the floor.

"Of course you stay with us…but where's Tristan" asked Blaine as he took the man's coat and put it on a hook near the door, Sebastian toed off his shoes before getting the little girl out of her soaked coat and hugged her to his chest again.

"He has to work, with this weather the emergency rooms pretty full" he replied as he wondered into the living room.

"Oh hey Seb…make yourself at home" Kurt said a little sarcastically letting Seb know he was playing

Seb had figured this out and moved round to take the seat next to him on the couch "hey lady face, don't mind if I do, we are neighbours now so I can just visit whenever I like"

Kurt laughed and turned to him "Is that so?"

Seb moved Amelia next to him who started to squirm her way out of his arms, he gave in and let her sit in Leilas lap.

"Yep Hummel that is so" he laughed and looked at the tv "guess I got here just in time" they all turned to read the message that there was now a tornado warning and needed to take shelter which made Kurt's stomach drop, he really Hated all this.

Blaine Kissed Kurt on the cheek before reassuring him everything would be fine before taking Toby's Hand

"Daddy I don't like the basement" toby replied obviously sad he had to go down there

"sorry buddy but we gotta make sure we are all safe" he replied rubbing the boys head, he watched everyone leave the room before turning to Kurt who stood in the doorway

"Come on Honey…it will be fun, we can share stories and snack on junk food till the all clear" Blaine obviously wasn't bothered too much and took Kurt's hand leading him into the hallway to the door under the stairs.

~o~

Helen stood in what was once Connors room. She took in the emptiness of the small space encased by the pale blue walls that pretty much summed up the feeling of the whole situation…even though she felt a little more than 'feeling blue'. She had to say given the time Connor had to pack he done a pretty good job in taking almost all his possessions with him.

She sat down on mattress and let out a deep sigh. Even though she was the one who had kicked out her son she still felt a little sad, but she felt she did the right thing for her family, she looked around the room and opened the nightstand draw; all that was left was a few pens, an old book and at the back was a small notebook, she pulled out the small black leather book and flicked through the pages until something fell in her lap. A reel of photos had fallen out into her lap, photos of Caden and Connor together smiling happily in the photo booth at the mall, she noticed how happy her son looked and sighed. Helen gently ripped the picture into tiny pieces and placed the small pile of a memory on the bedside cabinet as she stood up to leave the room.

"I hope your happy mom. Because by disowning one son you have disowned two"

Helen whipped her head round and stared into the eyes of her oldest son mike scowling at him like an animal who had just had its food ripped from its jaw. "Don't say that...I did this for our family, if he sees sense he can home and all will be forgotten."

Mike took a step into his brother's room and laughed sarcastically at his mother "Family! We don't have a family anymore mom because you're so close minded and too much of an idiot to see that there is nothing wrong with him!"

"Don't you dare speak to me like that after everything I've done for you, and accepting this…I never raised you to let the devil in our home and just go along with it!" Helen spat back at him with a much spite as she could muster.

Mike stood bewildered looking at the woman who was meant to be his mother "He's not the devil he's your son and anyway he couldn't be because the devil already existed in this house and I'm looking at her"

They both stood in silence as the wind whistled against the small window in the room, neither of them knew what to say to each other that would make everything right because they obviously had too different opinions on the matter.

"So what I just say to him that I will turn a blind eye on this, he's with them now he has no chance living under their roof."

"Well that was your fault but he has no chance of becoming straight because that just not who he is and either you accept that or you stay the hell out of his life because if I find out that you have so much as looked at him the wrong way then so help me for my actions…I'm leaving for home after the storm passes and then were are done"

Helen watched as her son quickly dashed down the hallway out of sight. She was tied, she knew her son would never be rid of this phase staying with Caden but she didn't want him in the house to influence the younger ones. She was in a vicious battle with herself contemplating what to next. She grabbed her keys and headed for the door.

~o~

Sebastian sat quietly on the old couch in the basement holding Amelia close to him who had fallen asleep just moments ago, the storm didn't seem to be letting up so they all huddled up together in the small area under the stairs Kurt had set up. Kurt looked over at the little girl and smiled remembering when his three were that small. Kurt handed Seb a blanket to cover Amelia with which he gladly took

"thanks for this guys, I know it's a bit weird considering I've only just moved on the street but I couldn't stay in the house with her and no shelter"

Blaine shook his head and put his hand up "Don't worry it's absolutely fine, you're welcome over anytime even if there is a tornado barrelling down the street" they both let out a nervous laugh to which Kurt ignored. The house continuously gave small creaks and the wind whistled around them from the chaos unfolding outside

"So how come you both came back here of all places I thought you hated it here…whenever I wondered what you guys did I always imagined New York…"

Kurt nodded letting out a small sigh "we did New York and of course it was great but it was no place for a family, it was too expensive for us to afford a place big enough to begin a family and plus everyone is here, it's not so bad now"

They huddled together as a cold draft swept through the basement, the noise from what sounding like the house above being torn apart rippled around them, Caden pulled Connor closer to put an arm around the boy who had been in a constant state of sadness for the last few days.

"I hope my brothers and sisters are doing okay" Connor quietly spoke out

Caden smiled down at him "I'm sure they are fine, we'll all be fine"

Kurt, Blaine and Sebastian all looked at one another with a knowing look, they had not talked about the night Helen had abandoned Connor as Sebastian made a point thanking Kurt and Blaine for the meal before leaving quickly.

"If you ever need to talk Connor I know exactly what you going through, my parents did the same to me at first" Sebastian offered to Connor

The boy looked up and nodded at the man "And what about now?"

Sebastian sighed as he stroked his daughter's hair "now they are more…tolerant, for Amelia's sake more than anything"

The sounds from above grew fainter and faded leaving just the small creaking of the house settling from the damage it had just withstood, everyone remained quiet just listening out to make sure the coast was clear before slowly heading up towards the house. Kurt took in a deep gasp as he looked around the entrance of his home, the door lay in ground ripped from its hinges, shattered glass scattered the floor from where various objects had flown through the windows, in the family room the branch of a near tree was now protruding into the room through the shattered window.

Blaine pulled Kurt close "we can fix all of this, we are all safe which is the main thing"

Kurt rested his head on his husbands shoulder as they made their way out to street which littered in debris from the storm path. They looked over towards Sebs house to see a part of the roof had collapsed in to which he didn't seem too worried about as long as Amelia was safe. An hour or two had gone by as people started to pick up the pieces of their lives and put their homes back together when Sebastian's phone rung. Kurt and Blaine looked suspiciously at Sebastian from the tone in his voice.

"Okay…see you soon" Sebastian ended his call and turned to them

"Seb…is everything okay?" Blaine asked hesitantly

Sebastian nodded and looked over at the group of children "that was Tristan…he's working the ER at the minute and well…"

Kurt shrugged "what?"

"He said the woman from the other night is there…Connors mom, it's not good"

The three of them looked over to Connor wondering just how he was going to take the news because no matter what she was his mom and still had some love for her, but the question was did he have enough love for her left.

~o~

They had all eventually made it to the hospital just a couple hours after the call Sebastian had received, none of them knew what to expect when they arrived. Connor stuck close to Caden void of all emotion with no clue as to how he felt about the news of his mother being hospitalised. They made their way into the ER that was currently filled to its capacity with patients and people waiting to be seen.

"Seb!" Shouted Tristan as he made his way through the crowd towards the man quickly taking him and his daughter into his arms "thank god you're okay, I was so worried about you and I know how much Amelia hates storms" he quickly rubbed his thumb over Amelia's cheek.

"How's Connors mom?..." Blaine asked cautiously

Tristan glanced at Connor who kept his gaze on the air in front of his face looking into space trying to forget everything that was happening

"Last I heard she was being taken to surgery…she was found in a car wreck out in the storm, I've tried to keep up with her but it's been so busy and well…I really need to get back" they said their goodbyes and watched the tall man disappear into the crowds of people. Kurt put an arm around both Caden and Connor as he looked around the injured people of the waiting room. He paused as he saw David Karofsky sitting amongst an old couple and a young girl. He looked to Blaine who was busy talking Toby to reassure him they would leave once they found out about Helen, Kurt let go of the boys and walked a few steps to stand in front of the former bully.

David looked up with tears in his eyes "K-kurt…what are you doing here"

Kurt shook his head "we are all fine it's just someone we know is here…what are you doing here?"

David stood up and looked away "I told you I had a partner…well he…he's been brought in here, I hardly know anything just that he was caught in the storm and now…"

Kurt took a deep breath in "Dave…I'm sorry, we can ask someone…" that's when Kurt felt the eyes that bored into his back he knew who's eyes it would be. Kurt slowly turned round to see Blaine's eyes pierce into his own. Blaine had heard the conversation and to be honest Kurt was scared of the look that Blaine was currently giving him.

~o~

Do I kill Helen ?
