A/N: This may develop into a series of one shots, we'll have to wait and see.
The Softie
She quietly unlocked the door. She was earlier than expected. She knew she was going to find someone else in bed with her husband, she wanted to witness it first-hand herself. She quietly removed her shoes and placed her keys on the side just by his keys. She made her way down the hall to their bedroom, the door was ajar, and she pushed it open slowly. She thought she knew what to expect but what she actually saw shocked her, not only was her husband in bed with their three year old, something she knew was going to happen before she even left for her evening out with the girls, but on the other side of their daughter, ostensibly on her side of the bed was Ella's stuffed bear. A bear that was twice the size of their daughter, a gift from Richdotcom. Ella loved that bear. Jane couldn't resist and took out her cell and snapped a few pictures, it was too good to resist. Right from when Ella was born and Rich gave their daughter the bear Ella fell in love with it. Neither she nor Kurt had the heart to get rid of it. When Ella was able to crawl, she began to drag 'Benny' with her, obviously it wasn't easy as he was four times her size at that point but all she had to do was look at her daddy with those eyes and he would move Benny to wherever she was and receive a smile, drool included. When Ella was a little bigger Ella was able to drag Benny across the floor herself, cleaning part of the flooring in the process. Benny had his own seat at the dining table when Ella ate, he sat next to her while she was in a high chair, now she was out of the high chair they sat next to each other. Jane moved into the room and to her side of the bed where Kurt placed one of his t-shirts for her, she quickly took it and went to change in the bathroom.
Jane re-entered the bedroom and made her way to her side of the bed, she actually contemplated sleeping on the sofa as there was hardly any room with Benny also in the bed.
"Don't even think about it. If I have to suffer you have to suffer too!" whispered Kurt
Jane caught his eyes in the dark, smirked and carried on a whispered conversation.
"Did she even go into her room tonight or did you bring her straight here?"
Even in the dark Kurt avoided her eyes.
"She looked at me with those eyes! It's your fault, she has your eyes!"
"Kurt, they're the same colour as yours!"
"But the shape is all you."
Jane rolled her eyes.
"So how many stories did you read her?"
"One?"
"One? You actually only read her one story?"
More eye everting from Kurt.
"Maybe it was one plus two."
"She got three stories out of you plus sleeping with us? Talk about a soft touch."
"Hey, she's really convincing, her eyes started to well up and her bottom lip trembled."
"Kurt, the first step is admitting that you have a problem, just accept that you're a big softie!"
"I'm not a softie!"
"Kurt, you were going to buy a car seat for Benny just because Ella asked you to…"
"No I wasn't…" Kurt exclaimed weakly knowing he was caught
"Kurt I saw the research on your tablet, it's bad enough that you make sure his seatbelt is secure when we're in the car…"
"Hey, it's teaching Ella about being safe in the car, if Benny is wearing the seatbelt then she's happy in the car seat and when she's old enough, she'll where the seatbelt without problems!"
Jane just shook her head, he was a big softie and she wouldn't have him any other way.
"Did you all have a good time?"
"It was good to get out and meet the girls out of the office and it was great that Sarah could join us but I really missed you two. I stayed long enough so it wasn't rude when I left, Sarah left at the same time as me."
"Well I'm glad you had a great time. We missed you too!"
"I think you missed me more than Ella…"
"What makes you say that?"
"Kurt, she knows as soon as I'm out that door that all she has to do is look at you and she'll sleep with us!"
"No she doesn't…she's smart but she's only three!"
"Kurt, how many times has she been in bed when I came back from a night out?"
The fact that she hadn't had that many nights out; as she preferred to stay at home with her family made it much easier to count the number of times Ella was in their bed when she came home.
The silence said everything and Jane couldn't help but smirk.
"It's late, we should go to sleep!" stated Kurt
It didn't go unnoticed by Jane that Kurt didn't answer her question but evaded completely.
"Love you."
"Love you."
Jane was on her left side, Kurt on his right and they had Ella and Benny flat on their backs in the middle of the bed, neither would have it any other way. Although Kurt was worried about what Rich would buy for their next child, they only had six months to wait but Kurt was convinced that he had to buy a bigger bed.
