A/N:I am two weeks behind on posting a chapter of Part 3 *hands head in shame*. But guess what I've been working on? That's right! I wrote all 24 drabbles of the Advent inside the Family Verse! Here we go!

Blaine trudged home one cold February night from a long and tiring rehearsal, after a day filled with meetings and press events. He was bone tired, sore, hungry, and cold. He was looking forward to a hot meal, and a night of cuddling with his husband.

As much as he loved his little munchkins, Sophie and Liam, and he loved them more than life itself, he was relieved that tonight; they should already be snoozing in their beds by the time he made it home.

He felt the guilt settle in his stomach along with the relief, but he knew how hard he was working, and that he would have all weekend with his kids…he needed a night alone with his husband.

When he finally walked in the door of their 3 bedroom duplex apartment, he found five year old Sophie, and ten month old Liam, wide awake and waiting for him.

"Papa!" Blaine cried with a barely contained groan that he masked with a chuckle. "It's past 8! What are these naughty monkeys still doing up?"

Sophie catapulted herself over the couch and into his arms, her still damp brown hair flying behind her. Liam scooted over to him as well, flashing his big toothless grin, attempting to pull himself up by Blaine's pant leg. They were both fresh from their baths with their PJ's on.

Kurt walked around the couch behind them. He gave Blaine a worn out smile and pecked a kiss against his lips. "They've been working on something all night to show you before bedtime."

Blaine pushed away the annoyance he felt when he saw Kurt's tired face and mussed clothes; he looked like his husband's day had been just as rough and long as his own. Kurt had taken a small step back from work to design from home and spend more time with the kids. He was home most days with Liam, and picked up Sophie from school more days than their nanny did.

He had mentioned more than once that he was happy he'd taken this time, but it was much harder than he had been anticipating.

"Okay kiddos, take your places so we can show Daddy!" Kurt called and showed Blaine where to sit on the couch.

It was then that Blaine noticed the red sheet covering their TV with Sophie's pink sparkly child-sized mic stand set up in front. A gift from Aunt Rachel, Blaine was sure.

Sophie picked up and dragged Liam to their "stage" and set him up in front of his Fisher Price colorful piano.

"Sit here, buddy," she mumbled before pushing her hair from her face and taking her place behind the microphone.

Kurt turned on the lamp that had been moved from its usual spot in the corner, and tilted in a way to create a makeshift spotlight on the two of them. Liam was already plunking out notes on his little piano, giggling to himself.

"No, Liam!" Sophie hissed. "Not yet!"

Liam looked over at her, gave her another grin and banged out a few more notes with a full belly laugh. Sophie rolled her eyes, pushed her hair from her face and pointed at Kurt behind Blaine on the couch. "Hit it!" she cried.

Kurt aimed their remote to the stereo and couldn't help but start laughing as Judy Garland's voice filled the room. Sophie started belting right along with her, the applause from the recording fueling her even more.

"Give my regards to Broooooaaaadwaaay!" Sophie belted out along with Judy. "Remember me to Heralds Square!"

Blaine held in the laughter that threatened to bubble out. Sophie had thrown herself into the performance. She was holding on to the mic stand and swinging her little hips back and forth with her eyes closed tight. Liam, on the floor next to her, was completely oblivious to his sister, but was bouncing up and down on his diaper covered bottom. He was plunking out notes on his little piano and rocking back and forth as well.

Kurt was losing it in the corner behind the kids. He was out of their line of vision and was laughing so hard he was almost crying. Blaine felt his mood lift with every passing moment. He clapped along with the audience from the recording, he sang along with Sophie when she forgot the words, he waved to Liam when the baby started to lose interest and tried to crawl away. Sophie stopped him short and pulled him back over to the piano and pointed for him to keep playing.

He continued to ignore her and attempted to crawl away again, catching sight of Kurt in the corner. Kurt smiled and leaned down to pick him up, dancing around with Liam on his hip, singing along with Sophie.

Sophie danced her way through the rest of the song…taking several bows as Blaine stood and clapped for her.

"Honey! That was so great," he said, pulling her onto his lap and kissing her cheek. "That's one of my favorite songs."

"I know!" Sophie told him excitedly. Kurt stood in front of them with Liam still on his hip, ready to take them both upstairs just as soon as she finished saying goodnight to daddy. "Papa told us. He said that you were working and me 'n Li wanted to come see you…but Papa said we had to leave you alone to work, then he showed us how to p'form like you do, Daddy!"

Blaine looked up and winked at Kurt, he lifted Sophie into his arms and carried her toward the stairs, motioning for Kurt to follow them.

"Well, Papa is absolutely right…but after full performance like that, you must be exhausted! Let's get you to bed."

Sophie flopped back in his arms and held her hand to her head. "Oh I am…it's so hard being a star."

Kurt snorted out a laugh behind them. "Auntie Rachel isn't allowed to babysit again for awhile…"

Liam screeched out an "EEeeeeee!" Trying to add to the conversation as the four of them headed upstairs to bed.
