Blaine gave him a small smile "Thanks Kurt, but before he could say anything else Kurt's phone went off and when he looked at it he smiled and was shocked as he turned to Blaine. "Sorry hold that thought I have to take this."
He slid to answer the call and smiled as he spoke. "Hello, there Noah Puckerman."

"Hey, Kurt. You know you're the only person besides my ma who calls me that."

"Rachel does too, I've heard her. Besides it's your name, so therefore I will call you by it. If you change your name legally to 'Puck' I'd grudgingly call you that, however as far as I know you haven't, so I will continue to call you Noah."

"Whatever and I yell at Rachel ever time she does. Anyway the reason I was calling..."

"I assume you received the photos I sent you"

"I did. Thanks. God, she's getting big." Noah sighed over the receiver.

"Yes, she is. She looks like you, you know. Gaga, Noah, she's breathtaking. Really there was no way she wouldn't be. Not with your genes and Quinn's. This little girl will be fending off the boys when she gets older." Kurt said with smile on his face because he had an inkling how Noah would take that.

"No way!"She won't be dating until she's 35." Noah yelled into the phone, just as Kurt expected, and just like any father would react to the thought of their little girl growing up.

Kurt laughed, really laughed, surprising Noah. "I'm not sure that will work unless you plan on locking her in a tower like some fairytale princess. Although she does have the tiara for it."

"Then that's what I'll do." Noah said sounding scarily serious. "A total Rapunzel or Fiona deal, in a tower, and then if some jerk does wind up trying to get to her then..."

"Noah," Kurt said fondly, "you can't do that. Besides, I won't allow it. If it makes you feel better, how about I let you interrogate and terrify her dates instead."

"Yeah okay. I could deal with that." Noah sounded as though he was thinking of all the fun he could have. Kurt smiled.

"You know for any of that to be possible, you're going to need to suck it up and face your fear that keep you from going and seeing Beth again."

"I know. It's hard, being there with her and knowing that I can't take her home with me. I miss her so much and I've never even been able to spend that much time with her."

Kurt frowned. "I can't even imagine how that must feel, but it isn't worth it to spend even a few hours with her then not be with her at all?"

"Dammit Kurt, why do you have to go and say something like that. Makes what I've been doing sound as dumb as it is."
"I can't help it that you need me to make sure you're not messing up. What do you say I call Shelby up and offer to babysit. You, me and Beth."

"You'd do that? You'd risk your perfect clothing?" Noah chuckled at the idea of Kurt around a messy baby.

"What are you talking about? I love kids. I babysit for my older cousin's kids all the time. Children love me. We play dress-up, watch movies, play dolls, tea parties, sing, color. I have a blast. Children are innocent. They don't pre-judge you like teens and adults do."

"But babies? They spit up on you, drool. They're sticky all the time for no reason at all. They're messy." Noah just couldn't wrap his mind around it.

"I love them. I want kids when I am older. I can't wait." Kurt was smiling thinking about a future with children and a husband. The husbands face was blurry, but they were happy and in love.

"I can see it. You'd make an amazing father. You'd support your kids no matter what, be there and love them."

"Papa", Kurt said.

"Huh?"

"I'd be Papa. My husband would be Dad."

"Oh," Noah said.

"Yeah, but thanks for that. You know you'd be a great father if given the chance too." Kurt knew it was true. He saw the love that showed in Noah's face whenever he mentioned Beth and could hear it in his voice too, even now.

"Thanks Kurt."

"For what?"

"For thinking I could be a good dad."

"There was never a doubt in my mind."

Puck smiled into the phone as he spoke "So what do you say we give Shelby a call and see about the two of us watching Beth. I can't wait to see you in action. Besides we're going to need the practice."

"What do you mean practice?" Kurt asked.

"I'll explain later. For now, what do you say you call Shelby and then we can go to dinner."

"Noah," Kurt asked, "Are you asking me out?"

"Yes. So what do you say?"

"Okay. Alright. Let's see where this goes. I'm trusting you Noah. Please don't hurt me." Kurt said in a moment of pure trust and honesty. "I can't take any more heart break. I'm not sure I could survive it."

"I know," Noah said. "I've wanted to ask you out for awhile now. Just wasn't sure you'd say yes. I'm trusting you too, Kurt. We're both taking a risk here but I'm hoping it will be all worth it."

"I know. So what time should I expect you to pick me up?"

Noah laughed. "Be ready by 7:30. I'll see you tonight Kurt."

"See you tonight Noah." Kurt ended the call and couldn't wipe the smile from his face. He had a date tonight. He found Shelby's number in his phone and hit call all the while thinking about what he was going to wear tonight, on his date, with Noah.

"Hello?" Shelby answered.

Kurt smiled this could be the start of something good. "Hi, Shelby, it's Kurt. I wanted to talk to you about something..."

The End...
