We went two whole weeks without hearing from Kurt and Blaine. There was one text message that said:

"Plane landed in one piece. Tty in 2 weeks. Phones off."

Once they got home, things went back to normal, or at least as normal as things could be in our house. Carol and I were working, Finn was spending as much time with Rachel as he could before she left for New York and he started at the technical school. He was going to get a two year associate degree in auto mechanics, then try again for Ohio State or somewhere in New York to finish his degree. Kurt and Blaine were packing all of their things for New York, as well as picking out furniture and other things for the apartment. Luckily, most of the things they were looking at could be ordered online and picked up or delivered in New York.

Meanwhile, Carol and I had to get ready for our own trip. We would be driving out to New York to get the boys settled in. The original plan was to fly, but the boys had too much stuff to bring, and were only going to be bring Blaine's car. Their apartment included one parking spot, so they thought it would be better to have the smaller car for getting around the city. It also had fewer miles for drive back and forth to Ohio for all holiday breaks. Carol, Finn and I would be taking Kurt's Navigator, since it could fit the most stuff. We could park it at the garage at the pier for the week we would be on the cruise. Finn was going to stay in the city for the week with Rachel while she got settled in her dorm, then we'd all drive back to Ohio.

The night before we were going to leave we decided to pack the cars up early, that way we could leave first thing in the morning. It was a close fit. Blaine had a small two door sports car, so he really couldn't fit much in the trunk or tiny backseat. Luckily they would be getting most of their furniture in the city, so we just had to worry about clothes, personal items and random stuff they decided that they couldn't live without. Blaine's car was filled with Blaine's clothes, as well as blankets, pillows and Kurt's moisturizers. The navigator had our bags for the cruise, Kurt's clothes that he was bringing (most had to stay here for now), and a few boxes of their things. We were almost done when I was carrying out a plastic box. When Blaine saw me, his eyes practically bugged out of his head and he ran to grab the box from me.

"I'll just put that in my car." He said once he had the box. After a few minutes of trying, I finally went to get the box back from him, since it was obviously not going to fit in the trunk of his car.

"Why don't we just put that in the navigator. We still have room, but don't tell Kurt, he'll just try and bring more clothes." I said, but he continued to try and fit the box in his trunk.

"No, I think I almost got it." Blaine said. Just as Kurt and Carol came outside, Blaine let got of the box, expecting it to stay in his car, but instead, it decided to spring out and land on the pavement. Kurt and Blaine both tried to grab the box, but they missed and it hit the pavement of the driveway. I guess it only makes sense that the boys would move out with one last painfully awkward situation. Apparently a large box of sex toys exploding open in the driveway was karma's way of saying goodbye to the boys. Carol and I just started laughing and walked inside the house while the two boys scurried around the yard and driveway grabbing things that had some how flown quite far. As much as I didn't want to think about my little boy in that type of situation, this instance was particularly funny.

After one last night of squeaky bed springs and a not quite secured headboard, the boys said goodbye to the house and we all piled into the cars to head for New York.

It would take us about 10 hours, so Kurt already has the route mapped out, along with the designated rest stops for us to meet for meals.

"Oh no. We are going to need more rest stops than this. I can't stay in the car for more than an hour without having to pee." Carol said to the group at large.

"Mom!" Finn whined.

"Don't whine at me Finn. It's your fault. You're the one who sat on my bladder for nine months."

"Fine. We'll stop whenever we need to. That's what cell phones are for anyway. Just call and say when and where we are stopping." Kurt said, as he put on some sunglasses and walked out to the car.

We did end up stopping about eight times throughout the entire trip, but most of those times were either for Carol or Blaine. Carol really did have to pee all the time, and Blaine's problem was that he never needed to go when we were stopped, but instead, he'd have to go a half hour later.

When we got to New York, I was reminded why I hate driving in a congested city. We finally found a parking spot a few blocks from the boys' apartment. When it came time to unload, we would just pull up out front of the building, rather than carry everything. By the time we walked to their building, Kurt and Blaine had already greeted the doorman and were talking to someone at the front desk to get a key. It was a really nice building. Much nicer than college kids should be in, but the Kurt and Blaine had decided on buying an apartment instead of renting, since they planned on staying in the city after college. Once we got into the actual apartment, I was amazed. It was gorgeous. There were three bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a living room and a very fancy bathroom. They were going to use the extra bedrooms as an office and a guest room for now, but at least they were planning ahead for the possibility of kids. I can't really imagine thinking that far ahead, but Kurt's always been a planner. Once everything had been moved in to the apartment, we decided on going out to dinner, rather than set the kitchen up.

Then the time came that we were all dreading. Time to say goodbye. It was very heartfelt and emotional. I'm pretty sure all five of us were crying, which was silly, since we'd be seeing each other again in a week.

But that's what families do.

A/N: Well, that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this journey. Look out for some one-shots within the Awkward Situations universe. There should be one up later today or tomorrow (Awkward Junk- sorry for the self promotion). I'm also starting another story that will be listed as Burt and Blaine as the main characters, even though it'll be Klaine, but will once again be narrated by Burt, since that's just how my mind works. I think I'm going to try and finish it before I start posting, so that way there won't be as long of a wait for updates.

For those of you who have stuck with this story since the begin, thank you
