Well it's finally here! The sequel to 'On Hold'. If you haven't read that I do recommend it but seeing as not everyone is cool with Mpreg this story can be read separately. So fellow klaine lovers gather round' for a story about a family just desperately trying to be accepted and forget the past.
"Carson! Talia! Come on kids breakfast is ready!", Kurt called simultaneously flipping the pancakes he was currently baking. There was not a patter of running feet so Kurt let out a defeated sigh realizing he would either have to bribe them with pancakes or sick Blaine on them. The foremost took to much time so he chose the latter.
"Blaine will you please remove your children from their bedroom.", Kurt asked the man sitting at the dining room table, drinking coffee. Blaine looked up from the paperwork he was reading and with a small chuckle pushed back from the tables with a scrape of chair on tile. He made his was behind Kurt and wrapped his arms around him, leaning in to peck him on the cheek.
"Sure.", and with that 'Fun Dad' came into play as Blaine ran from the kitchen of the apartment into his children's' bedroom. Kurt smiled as he heard the squeals of joy his 8 year olds were making.
"Daddy! Stop it!"
"No it tickles!" Soon Blaine emerged with Talia slung over his shoulder and Carson under his arm. He carefully plopped them down in front of Kurt.
"Mission successful.", Blaine said and fake saluted Kurt prompting his children to laugh.
"Daddy your silly!", Talia cried. Kurt smirked at her comment as he laid the plates in front of both children.
"Yes he is.", Kurt said with smile as he gently shook her chin electing yet another fit of giggles to erupt from her.
"Now hurry and eat your breakfast, you don't have much time before school.", Kurt told them. He wasn't to happy when the look of sadness crossed both their faces as it had so many other times recently. Kurt quietly watched as they somberly ate the breakfast until Blaine spoke up.
"Hey buddy what's that on your arm?", Blaine asked gently lifting Carson's arm into view where a deep but small purple bruise appeared. Kurt gasped and immediately rushed next to him.
"I fell on the playground.", Carson replied pulling his arm away and picking his fork back up. Kurt and Blaine both exchanged looks of familiarity. Blaine caught Talia doing her 'I know something I shouldn't' face.
"Tally did you see your brother fall?", he asked gently running his fingers over her curly hair.
"Yes daddy, he fell on theā¦um...monkey bars.", she said before pushing her plate away.
"Can I go brush my teeth dad?", she asked. Both men nodded having been called both 'Dad' and 'Daddy' before. Talia left the table and went to the bathroom leaving Carson with Kurt and Blaine.
"Honey that's got to hurt why don't you let me put some pain reliever on it?", Kurt asked his son.
"Ok daddy.", Carson replied getting up and following Kurt to the bathroom. Blaine sighed lightly, again putting down his paperwork and running a hand through his un-jelled hair. He had a sinking feeling that this wasn't just a case of clumsy child. Deep down he knew it had something to do with what he and Kurt had both experienced. When the group of three retuned, freshly cleansed and well tended to, Blaine gave each a kiss on the cheek before running off to the studio he worked at.
"Love you!", he called.
"Love you too.", the twins returned. Kurt handed each of them their backpacks.
"Alright let's go you two. Your lunches are in your bags. Oh and don't forget to give the paper for career day I signed to your teacher. It's tomorrow so you can't forget today." He then proceed to lead each of them to the car.
Once at school he pulled up and let them out. They ran from the car quickly as the bell rang.
"Love you!", Kurt called to them, though he knew they were out of earshot. He sighed and drove off back to their apartment.
Recess
Carson was sitting next to Talia, as she talked about the musical they would get to see that weekend that their dad, Kurt, was in. Carson was trying to pay attention but, he had this gut wrenching terror filling him, that any second it would happen again. Call in instinct but turns out he was right and he let out a cry as his arm was grabbed tightly and he was thrown to the ground. Talia gasped and stared up in hatred at the 12 year old's who had been bullying her brother.
"What do you think your doing!", she screeched with an ear splitting cry that would give Rachel Berry a run for her money.
"Shut up! Don't think were above hitting a fags daughter.", the tallest one sneered. Talia lovingly helped her brother up and shh'ed him as tears collected in his eyes.
"Aww is the little fairy gonna' cry?", the group taunted.
"We didn't do anything to you.", Carson said quietly.
"Well see you didn't have to, you can blame it all on your fag parents. We don't need no more princesses spreading the gayness all over this school. That means we don't need you", another one said and pushed Carson to the ground yet again. Talia stood and tried to push them away but it resulted in her being thrown down next to him. Her lip quivered as one got down in her face, smelly breath making her gag.
"You'd better hope you gaymo' parent's don't come to career day tomorrow or else we might just have to teach em' a lesson by sending you too home a little rustled up." Talia and Carson both nodded frantically until the group left them. Once gone she burst into tears. Carson hugged her and tried to quiet her so they wouldn't draw attention. The first time it happened both had told but that only resulted in a rough encounter that they would like to forget, they knew now they weren't allowed to tell anyone.
"Hush Tally.", Carson whispered softly. His attempts seemed futile though as she continued to sob. He could think of only one thing to do. Something their Dad's always did when they were upset. Sing.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed you light
I remember you said "Don't leave me here alone."
Well all that's dead and gone and passed
Tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound.
The tears stopped and Talia thanked her brother for the comfort. Soon enough the bell rang and they were sent back into the safety of the classroom. For now.
Apartment
"I'm glad to hear it Rach' this weekends performance should be great.", Kurt replied to the guest in his home.
"Kurt are you alright? You seem a little distracted?" , Rachel asked, sipping her coffee.
"I'm fine! Totally great! So how's Barbra?", Kurt asked deterring the subject.
"She's fine. She actually got promoted to a level 2 in her singing class yesterday. I cried.", Rachel enthused about her daughter.
"That's great! And Patti?", Kurt asked.
"Perfect! Finn video taped her crawling yesterday.", Rachel informed Kurt.
"That reminds me, are you going to the career day at the school tomorrow? It thought we could double up if you were.", she asked.
"Blaine and I had planned on it, as long as the twins remembered to turn in their papers.", Kurt replied.
"Great! So anyway I was-.", Kurt began to tune Rachel out as she talked. He was too focused on his kids. He couldn't help but feel there was something that he wasn't being told about Carson's many 'accidents'. Despite the fact New York was much more accepting then Ohio, there were still people around to torment them. He had been determined since he's had the twins, that he would do anything in his power to keep them safe. He had a feeling he wasn't living up to that promise.
So there you go! I really like this story and I can't wait to see they place's it goes!
