Kurt was sitting in the bedroom at his desk with his sketch book lying open on the table in front of him and a pencil in his hand drawing out new sketches for his company fashion line Ready to go. He is one of the main designers and needed to get new sketches drawn for the next meeting in one week. He scribbled on the page as he listened to Blaine and the kids Jack and Lily singing along to Hannah Montana. It relaxed him as he listen to his family singing along to the songs he knew so well by Lily and Jack having it on every day.

A few minutes had passed and the singing slowly faded and he could just hear the voices from the TV. The next second as he was looking down at his sketches, he heard footsteps stop at the door. He turned around in his chair seeing Blaine leaning against the door with his head tilted to the side giving Kurt a warm smile. Kurt returned the smile.

"How's my Kurt?" Blaine's voice was soft and almost like a whisper.

Kurt sighs as he picks up his new sketches on the two pages holding them up in front of them for Blaine to see.

"Tired and drawing sketches that suck."

A little laugh escapes Blaine's lips as he walks forward and takes the sketches gently from Kurt and examines them.

"This day next week I am supposed to have new sketches done and I just stare at my sketches like I think if I look at them long enough they are going to turn into something great."

"Kurt, they aren't going to look great because they are already great." Blaine said as he put the pages back on the desk and sat on the edge of the table as Kurt turned back around in his chair, folding his arms as he looked up to Blaine.

"Well, yeah of course you would say that because you're my husband." Kurt mumbled as he yawned.

"And because you are so talented and them sketches are great. Plus, I love you."

"You better." They chuckled.

"I do, which is why you are going to bed, getting lots of rest, and going to be spending all day with me tomorrow. Seeing as Burt and Carole are coming to stay, they told me they are throwing us out of the house so they can spend time with their grandkids. "

"What if I said, no?"

"But, you won't." Blaine smirked as he leaned in to Kurt's soft lips and touched them gently.


"Kurt, Lily, Jack, go to bed." Blaine said as he stood in front of the TV and pointed to the hallway. He looked towards the three of them sitting on the couch. Lily and Jack were leaned up against Kurt's shoulders on either side of him. Jack was eight. He has Black curly hair like Blaine's with Blue eyes. Lily was six and has wavy brown hair, the same colour as Kurt's and brown eyes.

"Dad" Lily and Jack moaned through their tired voices looking towards him.

"If you two do it, it will set a good example to daddy." Lily and Jack giggled as Kurt stuck out his tongue to Blaine. Blaine chuckled as Lily and Jack hoped up from the couch racing each other to the room. Blaine and Kurt looked down the hallway where the kids ran through and turned back around to face each other when they disappeared into their rooms.

"Now my other big kid," Blaine walked over to the couch sitting beside Kurt. "You are going to bed."

"Oh, am I now. And how do you plan on getting me there?" Blaine smirked as he put his arm around Kurt's back and under the back of his knees and lifted him of the couch as Kurt laughed wrapping his arms around the back of Blaine's neck.

"I should off guessed"


"Dad?" Lily said as she is sitting on her bed leaned against Blaine who is sitting on the edge of the bed holding her and looks down to her curious expression.

"Yes, angel"

"Um, is fairy tales really true?" She asked and looked down to the book Blaine was holding in his hands. Blaine didn't need to think about it because he was living one.

"Of course they are. Everyone has their own fairy tale. It might take a long time to get it but, if you want it, it will come along the way." He smiled down at her as she looked back up to him.

"So, that's mean I will have my own fairy tale?"

"Yes. You know how I know?"

"How?" she asked looking at Blaine. To her he had all the answers in the whole world that she wanted to know. It was like her dad had a key to a magical door and behind that door was another magical world.

"Because, Daddy and I will do everything for you to get it. For you and Jack. Daddy and I got ours and you two will as well."

"I like the story about you and daddy meeting on a staircase. It sound's magical." She said excitedly before a yawn escaped her.

"That is because it was magical. It was the start of the fairy tale and then you and Jack made it so much more magical. I think you're ready to sleep now." Blaine said gently as he put the fairy tale book back on the shelf behind Lily's bed. Jack and Lily had shared this room for three years until Jack wanted his own room. Lily nodded her head and lay down on the bed and resting her head on the pillow as Blaine got up and pulled the duvet up to keep her warm. Her eyelids were already closing and every time they shut they stayed closed for longer. Blaine kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Night, Lily." He whispered as he stood up again looking down at his tired daughter.

"Night, Dad." She said back quietly he almost didn't hear it. He turned away from her about to walk away.

"Dad, you know that singer with the long purple hair you showed me today." She said quietly her eyes still shut. Blaine turned around where he stood to her.

"Katy Perry."

"Yes. I am glad I have her name. She's pretty and…" she yawns. "…and her video wide awake is magical. She's a magical singer." Blaine smiled and remembered the day Lily came into the world. Kurt and Blaine were thinking of a middle name for Lily and they wanted the perfect name. They were in the hospital and Kurt was holding Lily as she slept and Blaine's phone started ringing. He thought Kurt was going to give out to him when he met Kurt's eyes, but he didn't. Kurt simply smiled and said Katy. Blaine for a second thought he just said Katy because he wasn't surprised that Katy Perry's song was his ringtone. After a few seconds Blaine coped on and smiled back at Kurt.

"Lily Katy Anderson-Hummel was the perfect name for you. You're magical to, sweetheart." Blaine whispered as he turned off the bedroom switch and left the door half way open. The only light in Lily's room was the glow in the dark stickers around her room. Blaine walked quietly back to the bedroom. He walked into their bedroom bathroom seeing Kurt looking at the mirror as he put cream on his face. Blaine picked up his toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it before sitting on the edge of the bath as he brushed his teeth.

"You want some face cream?" Kurt asked as he turned towards Blaine putting more cream on his fingers.

"No. it's really itchy on my face." Blaine mumbled. Kurt just smirked and stepped forward to Blaine and put some quickly on his cheek before Blaine could stop him. Kurt chuckled as Blaine shook his head slowly getting up and leaning towards Kurt who took a few steps backwards to stop Blaine from kissing his with his mouth full of toothpaste.

"No, no kissing until you clean your mouth." Kurt pointed a finger to him and Blaine went to wash out his mouth. Kurt leaned against the wall beside the door. Blaine cleaned his mouth and wiped his face dry on the towel and walked over and wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist as Kurt let his arms hang over Blaine's shoulders.

"Better?"

"Much." Kurt replied with a warm smile as they kissed slowly and gently, taking their time, being in no rush. They didn't know what would happen through this fairy tale or how it would end, but right now, it was magical just like all those story's that began with once upon a time…
