Here is the first one-shot for Something Unexpected. Do you remember the bow tie onesie?:)
Bow tie
Elyse Anderson-Hummel was probably the most fashionable little girl in all New York. Having a father like Kurt Hummel and a fairy godmather like Isabelle Wright meant that the baby got every single cloth a girl could need. Or her parents, to be correct. Because Elyse didn't care what kind of clothes she wore. She was always happy, no matter what kind of clothes Kurt gave her to wear.
Since their child grow rapidly and there were still dozens of clothes she didn't even have the opportunity to wear, Kurt changed her clothes several times a day, much to his baby girl's annoyance. Changing clothes meant lying on the changing table and Elyse hated it when she was interrupted in her play time. As much as she cared, she could wear the same dirty clothes all day and Blaine agreed with her. As the man said, nobody saw the baby expect from her parents and closest family, so she really didn't need to look like a model from the front page of a magazine.
It didn't mean Kurt listened to him. He couldn't bear seeing his daughter in dirty clothes – okay, they weren't really dirty but still – and kept changing Elyse's clothes as often as she needed.
One day, when Kurt was organizing the baby clothes, selecting the ones Elyze couldn't wear anymore and getting her new ones, he went through the shopping bags that contained the clothes they had bought before the baby's birth. There were dozens of clothes they had found in the shops and had bought for their baby, some of them in the early stage of the pregnancy when they hadn't known they woould have a daughter. When he opened a bag with the clothes they had bought the first time, his eyes widened in surprise and he laughed as he pulled out a onesie.
He remembered the day when they had bought that onesie. It had been after their ultrasound appointment and they had been so happy that their child was healthy that they had decided to get her some clothes. They had agreed to buy something in neutral colours but Blaine had found that one and had begged Kurt to buy it. The one with the bow tie.
Now that Elyse had grown into its size, Kurt started thinking about what they should do with it. Blaine had wanted that dress because he had been sure they had been expecting a baby boy. Sure, if Elyse would have been a boy, she would look so sweet in that onesie but since she was a girl...
Kurt heard his daughter squeaking behind him and he turned around to smile at her. Elyse was in her bouncing chair, trying to hit the toy hanging in front of her to get it out of the way, so she could take a good look of what Kurt had in his hands.
"Do you want to see it?" Kurt asked and lifted his daughter out of the bouncing chair. "Your daddy bought it when you were still in my stomach. He thought that you were a boy and wanted you to look like him."
Elyse giggled and reached out towards the onesie.
"I don't know what to do with it, though" Kurt sighed. "I know, women wear suits nowdays but I don't think it's suitable for you. What do you think?"
For the first time in her life, Elyse seemed interested in that clothes. She made an unhappy sound when Kurt wanted to put it away but smiled when her father gave it back. She had to try it several times but in the end, she managed to grab the onesie and press it to her chest.
"Okay, I get it. You want to wear it" Kurt laughed. "Daddy will be happy to see that you share the love of bow ties with him. I guess we just need to find a way to surprise him."
Elyse gave a squeak of delight, so Kurt thought she would be happy with it.

Kurt hid the bow tie onesie in the back of the wardrobe, waiting for the best opportunity to surprise Blaine. As the days passed, he kept thinking about it and finally came up with a great idea: Halloween. He could dress Elyse into the dress before Blaine comes home. He would surely love it.
When the day came, he asked Blaine to go out and buy a few baby supplies they needed and when they were alone with Elyse, he brought his little girl into the nursery and took out the onesie.
"Daddy will love it" he said excitedly as he placed the baby onto the changing table.
Elyse was surprisingly calm as he took off her clothes and gave her the new one. He had even bought baby pants similar to what Blaine had worn back in high school, so when he was finished with changing Elyse's clothes, she looked exactly like the baby version of Blaine.
"God, you're so adorable" Kurt smiled and kissed the baby's forehead. "Come on, honey. Daddy can be home in any minute."
He walked back into the living room with Elyse in his arms and placed her onto the carpeted floor where her toys were. He kneeled down next to Elyse to play with her as they were waiting for Blaine to arrive.
Minutes later, Kurt heard the sound of the key turning in the lock and the door opened, revealing a smiling Blaine.
"I have everything you wanted" he said and went into the kitchen to put down his bag.
When he went back into the living room a minute later, Kurt was smiling at him, waiting for his response. Blaine didn't notice it first. He kneeled down next to Kurt and kissed him before turning to his daughter.
"Hey, honey, I..."
That was the moment that Blaine noticed what his daughter was wearing. It was a cute onesie with baby pants in his favourite colours. The whole set was similar to the clothes he used to wear back in high school and the onesie even had a bow tie on it. He remembered it, they had bought it when Kurt had been pregnant with Elyse and they hadn't known their daughter's gender yet. But the onesie looked amazing and he had begged for Kurt to buy it.
"Happy Halloween, Blaine" Kurt smiled. "Do you like it?"
Blaine was speechless like most of the times when Kurt surprised him with something. He looked between his fiancé and his daughter, both of them smiling, waiting for his response.
"She looks amazing" he managed to say finally.
"Like the baby version of you" Kurt said.
"With the beautiful eyes of her father" Blaine said and pulled Kurt into another kiss.
They would have stayed like that forever but Elyse got bored pretty quickly and shrieked to let her parents know that she was still there.
"Don't worry, baby girl, we haven't forgotten about you" Kurt said and lifted Elyse up from the carpet. The baby smiled at him but then turned to Blaine and reached out towards his bow tie.
"I guess she likes bow ties like me" Blaine laughed and leaned closer. "Don't worry, Elyse, I will buy you dozens of them."
"But she's a girl!" Kurt protested.
"Fashion has no gender" Blaine shrugged.
"Haha. You're really funny" Kurt rolled his eyes.
"That's why you love me, right?" Blaine winked.
"No. I love you because of your undying love of bow ties" Kurt answered, grabbing Blaine's bow tie and pulling him into a hug.
