Hey Guys! This is the beginning of another one of my many future fics! It will be pretty family oriented, but it'll have its angsty moments too! Enjoy!

After twenty years of marriage, Kurt and Blaine Anderson-Hummel assumed that the chaos that was their lives was finally beginning to end. During that time, they had both managed to have successful careers. Blaine was an attending pediatric surgeon at a huge metropolitan hospital in New York, while Kurt was appointed the assistant editor at . They also started a family and had two beautiful children. Brooklyn, who was biologically Kurt's, was tall with pale skin and light brown hair. She was now 17 years old and it was her senior year of high school. Soon she'd be leaving the nest and heading off to college. Her brother, Gabriel, was biologically Blaine's and was basically his mini me. He had Blaine's curly hair and his dark brown eyes, and sadly his height. He was 9 years old, but there was something that was unusual about Gabriel.

He didn't have very many friends and preferred to play by himself. He was obsessed with animals and despite being nine years old, still had tantrums. That just wasn't normal, but both Blaine and Kurt didn't want to admit that there could be something wrong with their perfect baby boy. Then an incident which resulted in a black eye made them realize that they couldn't deny the problem any longer. So, they took him to a child psychologist, named Dr. Marcus.

"Stop shaking. Everything's going to be okay." Blaine said in a soothing voice as he placed a comforting hand on Kurt's shaking knee.

"I know, but it feels like he's been in there forever and that just worries me." Kurt said. Blaine gave him a comforting smile and reached out for his hand. Then suddenly the door to Dr. Marcus's office opened and Gabriel ran out.

"Why don't you stay out here and play with the toys while I talk to your dads'." Dr. Marcus said to Gabriel. Gabriel didn't answer and walked over and sat down to play with the animal figures on the table. "Mr. and Mr. Anderson-Hummel, you can come with me." Kurt and Blaine nodded and walked into Dr. Marcus' office and took a seat on the couch. "So, I just want to start off by saying Gabriel is a wonderful and intelligent boy." Dr. Marcus began.

"So, he's alright?" Blaine asked hesitantly.

"Well, as I evaluated Gabriel I noticed some characteristics that were consistent with an Asperger's diagnosis." Dr. Marcus replied.

"He has autism?" Kurt asked his voice quiet as he battled tears.

"Yes, Aspergers is a milder form of autism, but yes, Gabriel is autistic" Dr Marcus explained."That doesn't mean that he's any less intelligent or kind, it just means his brain works a little differently than ours."

"Well, what do we do? How do we help him?" Blaine asked.

"I recommend getting Gabriel a behavioral aid, and I will work with him. One of the best things you can do for him is set up a schedule. Treat him normally and I promise overtime things will get better." Dr. Marcus said.

"What do we do now?" Kurt asked.

"Now, you go out and make an appointment for Gabriel to come see me and then you go home and act like nothing happened. Having autism will be a challenge but it shouldn't be something that controls his whole life." he told them. Kurt and Blaine nodded and then thanked him for his time. Afterwards, they went out to the waiting room where Gabriel was playing quietly on the floor.

" Gabe, it's time to go home." Blaine said as he crouched down in front of Gabriel, who refused to make eye contact with his father.

"Okay, I want to leave now." Gabriel said.

"Alright, just give us a second and then we can leave." Blaine told him.

"No, I want to leave now. Let's leave now." Gabriel repeated in a monotonous tone.

"Just take him out to the car." Kurt said. "I'll make the appointment." Blaine nodded and tried to grab Gabriel's hand, but he just pulled away. Together they walked out to the car and waited for Kurt to come out. After a few minutes, Kurt came out and got into the passenger seat and Blaine began to drive home. He turned on the radio and immediately Gabriel freaked out.

"Dad, I don't like that turn it off." He said. Blaine sighed. He didn't even know why he tried anymore. It hurt him so much that music, which was so important to both he and Kurt, was one of the things that made his son so angry. He turned off the music and continued driving home. When they got home,Gabriel burst through the door and went to go play by himself as Brooklyn grabbed her purse and make a break for the door.

"Brooklyn, wait. Where are you going?" Blaine asked.

"Out." She replied.

"Can I know where please?" he continued.

"Just out with my friends." She replied in a tone that showed she was obviously annoyed with her father. Then she made a break for the door.

"Well, make sure you're back before curfew at 11" Blaine yelled after her and got no reply. Blaine sighed and went and joined Kurt on the couch. "Why do even try anymore?" he muttered.

"I don't know. I stopped ages ago." Kurt replied. "She's a good kid honey. She's not doing anything bad. She's just hanging out with her friends."

"I guess you're right." Blaine agreed as he nestled into Kurt's side. "She's a good girl."

As soon as Brooklyn made it to the corner she took of her jacket which revealed a short purple tube top. She smiled as she examined her outfit and then walked down the street to a coffee shop. She looked around until she spotted a head of light brown hair sitting on one of the sofas. She went up behind him and put her hands over his eyes.

"Guess who?" Brooklyn replied sweetly. He smiled and turned around.

"Hey babe." Ryan said with a smile. "You ready to get out of here?"

"Where are we going?" She asked as she went around the couch and sat on his lap.

"I think we should go to my place and I don't know, maybe just take a nap." He suggested with a sneaky grin.

"I like the your place part and the bed part, but I don't think we should take a nap." Brooklyn told him. Ryan smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Alright then. Let's go." He said. She stood up and linked hands with Ryan as they walked out of the coffee shop and down the street to his apartment. As promised, the bed was used and the activity performed in the bed was fantastic and left both of them sweaty and out of breath.

"That was amazing." Brooklyn panted as she leaned in to kiss Ryan. Then she caught a glance of the clock on the bedroom table. It read 11:05. "Oh shit! I'm late. Babe I need to go." she said as she hopped out of bed and struggled to put her tight clothing back on. "My dads are going to kill me." she cried. Ryan looked lost and helpless as his girlfriend struggled to get out of his apartment. "I'll text you later babe. Bye I love you." Brooklyn said as she scrambled out of the apartment. She ran the two blocks down to her house and tried to stealthily get into the apartment, but it wasn't successful. Blaine was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

"Brooklyn Nicole Anderson-Hummel, it is 11:30. What time is your curfew?" Blaine asked.

"11 o'clock." Brooklyn muttered.

"You are late and you are grounded for a week, now go to your room." Blaine told her as he pointed down the hallway. She sulked down to her room and flopped down on her bed. She was pissed at the fact that she was grounded, but it could have been worse. He could have asked where she was and who, specifically she was with. Brooklyn knew that her father would kill her is he ever found out that she had a boyfriend.

Blaine sighed. Whoever said that when children turn into teenagers it gets easier was seriously insane. He walked down the hallway and got dressed into his pajamas and snuggled in bed next to Kurt. He rubbed his chest as the heartburn caused by stress built up. Gabriel was autistic. Brooklyn was missing curfew. Blaine wondered how their lives could get any more stressful.

A/N: This is really interesting and challenging for me when I write Gabriel and Brooklyn's characters. I've never really written a rebellious teen before, (except for Matthew in Imperfect Harmonies, but he was just angry at Sebastian) so she's really interesting. I also hope I'm writing Gabriel's character right. I've done research, but if anyone of you have suggestions on how to write an autistic character leave me and a review and i'll take your suggestion in mind! Thanks!
