He picked up the coffee cup and headed back downstairs. First, he called Lacey’s school to let them know that she was sick, then he texted Blaine to let him know what was going on. He puttered around the house, unable to do a lot due to his bulk, but he washed the dishes from last night and tossed in a load of laundry. About ten o’clock, he was worn out and decided to go lay down for a little while.
He wasn’t sleeping, but he was laying in bed when he heard Lacey’s door open. A minute later she peeked her head into his room. “Hi sweetheart.” He greeted. She blushed and ducked her head. “Why don’t you come on in and we can talk.”
Her shoulders slumped, but she took a step into his room. Kurt patted the empty space on the bed next to him. “Come on, sit down by me.” She sat on the very edge of the bed. “Okay, little girl, we need to talk. What’s been going on with you? Something’s not right and you’ve got both me and Dad really worried.”
She let out a sob and flung herself into his arms. Surprised, all Kurt could do was wrap his arms around her, and hush her down. She sobbed for ten minutes before the tears finally subsided to the occasional hiccup. “Baby, what on earth is wrong?” He asked, handing her a tissue.
“D-Daddy.” She whimpered.
“I’m right here.” He promised her.
“W-when am I-I going b-back?” She asked.
“You mean to school? We can talk about it later tonight if you’re still not feeling well.” Kurt said, thoroughly confused.
“No. I mean back to the state. When do you put me back in the foster care system?” She asked, still not looking at him.
“WHAT?” Kurt yelled. He pulled back, forcing Lacey to look up at him. “What on earth are you talking about?”
“I was in the system for three years, I know how it works. The family keeps you until they have their own kid, then you go back.” More tears spilled out of her eyes.
“Baby…” Kurt trailed, tears filling his own eyes. “Have you been worrying about this since we told you about the pregnancy.” She nodded, choking on another sob.
“I figured it would happen right away, it usually does. But I’m still…still here…and I…” Kurt grabbed her in a tight hug.
“Lacey, you are our DAUGHTER. We love you more than anything in the world. We would NEVER just…trade you in, like a used car. I’m so sorry that you thought that, that Dad and I let you think that. This baby is another addition to our family. Our SECOND child. Your little brother or sister. Just because I’m giving birth to this baby, it doesn’t mean that we will love you any less.”
“You’re not giving me back?” She asked, looking up at him for the first time.

“We tried everything we knew to get you to trust us. And eventually, you started to. I’ll never forget, you used to jump at every little thing, every little noise. We were all sitting on the couch, watching something on TV, when a car backfired. You jumped, of course, but that time, you jumped into me. You let me hold you and rub your back. That was one of the happiest moments of my life, Lacey. The moment I knew you trusted me. The next day, your dad and I filed for adoption.”
“Really?” She asked.
“We asked you a few months later, we weren’t sure if they would allow us to adopt you and we didn’t want to get your hopes up if they said no.” Kurt confided.
“Daddy, I love you.” She said.
“Just remember this. Dad and I love this baby, but this baby wasn’t planned. You were, we sought you out and we fought to keep you. We would never, ever, ever let you go without a fight.”
“I think…being a big sister is going to be fun.” Lacey said, smiling up at her Daddy. She yawned loudly, causing Kurt to yawn, too. “Can I stay here, with you?” She asked, snuggling further into him.
“Like I’m letting you go.” He teased, pulling her close. They both drifted off to sleep and took a nap. That’s how Blaine found them when he got home.
