Kurt never thought history would repeat its self but it had. He never thought he would end up with Dave Karofsky of all people but he did. He never thought he'd be an army husband but here he was, staring at a flag draped coffin flinching as Dave was given a twenty on gun goodbye.

To his left sat Rachel to his right sat his daughter Emily Belle Karofsky-Hummel.

"Can I hold your hand Papa?" Kurt almost lost his tightly held control in that moment,

"Yes baby." Kurt took her tiny delicate hand in his her bright purple nail polish reminding him that her four year old innocence would fade away today. She would become a different Emmie today. And now, he's crying for the fortieth time today but not for himself or Dave. They'd made their peace with the dangers of his career choice long ago. No he's been where she's at now and it isn't a fair place.

A solider stood before him. "On behalf of the President Of The United States and a grateful nation we give you this flag." he numbly takes it thinking he'd rather have his husband than some stupid flag.

Friends and Dave's fellow soliders trudge by them. Mercedes touches his shoulder and kisses Emily on the head just before Finn picks her up to carry her off.

Kurt stands and takes a moment alone with Dave. Kissing his finger tips he brushes them to the coffin. "Bye Baby." he's about to turn and leave When Emmie lets out an ear splitting scream. "Let me go! Put me down! Uncle F-Finn!" She sobbed. "He didn't tell me bye." She wails and it breaks Kurt's heart. "Let her go Finn I've got her." He kneels down not at worried about his Armani suit.

He catches the dark haired girl before she can fling herself on to the casket. She may be Dave's child biologically but she inherited his flare for the dramatics. A smile tugged at his lips. Her sniffles are falling into shoulder "He lied Papa."

"I know baby but didn't mean too." he rubs a hand down her back. He picks her up and stands. "He said he wasn't going to die and he did and …and he didn't even say bye."

"He did, I have a letter for you at home." He carries her to the limo. He's not sure what to do next but he can always ask his Dad or Carole. He reminds himself to breathe and keep moving.
