"I've always loved kids. I never had little brothers or sisters... Just my older sister, but I had little cousins that I played with a lot. I just can't imagine looking at a child and physically harming them, or neglecting them. I mean, yeah, there are the occasional brats that I'd like to bitchslap one good time, but even then, I never would. And those are never the kids that get abused anyway. Most of the time they are that way because they're pampered little fuckers to start with." Jeff shook his head just a little, sadness showing on his face. "You have to disconnect yourself from it as a medical professional, but sometimes it's really hard to do, you know? One of the first patients I ever lost was a little boy about four years old. His dad beat the crap out of him, and his mom called 911. It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen. There's a lot of bad in this world. But it does me good to see a dad like you raising a kid as awesome as Rory. You should take pride in that for sure."

"Nice," Jeff replied with a grin. "He really must be into Blaine seriously, then. Good on them, if they decide to actually follow through with it. I hope they do. Blaine is a great guy, and I can tell Kurt is, too... And Jesus, his ass? Not that I'll be able to perve on it much if Blaine's got that on lockdown. But I'm pretty sure it'd be worth a non-perving law for them to get their happy on together. It's not that I'm not willing to date, though, honestly. It's just that I'm looking for something special... Not just a random screw here and there. I'm at that place in my life where that's what I want. I want the cuddles with the sex, and the waking up together, and having meals together when work allows, and all that stuff. Not just the random screw here and there."
