Chapter 3

A/N: OK So I have hella shit to do which means that I shouldn't be updating but I am because I do not understand the concept of priorities. Sorry it's been longer than I would have wanted but here's an update! Hope you like it!

"Blainey, I need a favor," Cooper insisted as Blaine answered his call; not even bothering to say hello.

"Hello to you too, Coop. What do you need?" Blaine sighed in amusement.

It wasn't unusually for Cooper to call him first thing in the morning for a favor.

"Well, it's not so much more me as for your adorable niece and nephew whom love you and miss you dearly," Cooper started.

"You need a babysitter," Blaine guessed.

"Yeah, I want to surprise Alison with a date night since we haven't had one in a while and I know this is last minute but I really need your help."

"Let me just check with Kurt but it should be fine," Blaine said shaking his head although he knew Cooper couldn't see him.

Blaine rolled out bed and made his way to the kitchen where Kurt was leaning against the counter cradling a mug of coffee. Bacon sizzled in one frying pan while a spinach and feta omelet cooked in another. Blaine angled the phone from his face and covered it with one hand to kiss his husband good morning.

Kurt smiled and then looked quizzically at him.

"Cooper," Blaine responded to his unasked question. "He wants us to babysit. Is there any reason we can't?" he asked.

"No, not that I can think of; tell him they are welcome to spend the night too if they want. We haven't seen them in a while," Kurt exclaimed excitedly.

"Kurt's on board; we would love to have them. They can spend the night here too if they want. We haven't spoiled them rotten in a while," Blaine told Cooper while Kurt just laughed and went back to cooking.

"Thanks, Blaine. You're really saving my ass. I gotta go but I'll bring the kids by around six?"

"Sounds great, Coop, see you then," Blaine signed off before setting his phone down on the kitchen island and accepting a mug of coffee from Kurt.

"I love you so much," Blaine practically groaned as steam curled up from the mug and wafted delicious the aroma that reminded him of Kurt. Of home.

Kurt smirked and rolled his eyes fondly, "yeah, yeah, I'm the best, I know."

"You are the best. You're beautiful and sexy and kind and talented and perfect in every way," Blaine murmured in Kurt's ear as his arms linked around Kurt's waist and kissed the back of his neck. Kurt's hand came to rest on Blaine's and rub soothing circles on the back of his hand.

"You are so lucky I give you the time of day," Kurt sighed overdramatically but he couldn't help the smile that spread across his face.

"I truly am," Blaine agreed as he kissed Kurt's cheek. Kurt turned his head with a smile still on his face and Blaine's lips met his.

Kurt hummed happily. "You're a dork but I love you anyway. So any ideas for what we're doing with Nathaniel and Alexis tonight?" Kurt asked as he carefully twisted out of Blaine's embrace to flip the omelet before it started to burn.

"Well I did promise Cooper that we would spoil them so let's order in and let them choose a movie," Blaine suggested.

"Yeah, that'll win us the coolest uncles awards," sarcasm oozed from Kurt's voice. "They can do that at home," he explained. "I think we should take them out. Is there anything special going on in the city tonight?"

"They're five and seven, going to their really awesome uncles' house is a treat in itself," Blaine argued.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves and see what they want to do once they get here," Kurt smiled.

Blaine reached to the coffee pot for a refill as Kurt flipped the omelet. Once he had deemed it perfectly golden brown, he shut the stove off and grabbed two carefully prepared plates. Kurt placed half of the omelet on each plate careful to avoid messing up he arraignment og fruit placed on the plates.

"Go sit at the table, babe. Breakfast is ready."

"My husband spoils me. This smells amazing," Blaine complimented. "I still can't believe you agreed to marry me," Blaine said as Kurt placed a plate in front of him.

"It was mostly for your money. I'm just waiting for you to die in a tragic boating accident or fall out of a helicopter like Bernadette Peter's husband," Kurt's nonchalance cracked as he couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitch up towards a smile.

"You are so mean," Blaine pouted. "You didn't even mention how cute I am or that I have the body of a Greek god," he shot back in faux shock.

"You're no young Taylor Lautner, but I guess you'll do," Kurt matched. His eyes shone brightly as he smiled coyly.

Blaine was constantly falling more in love with his husband. Even when Kurt insulted and teased him, he looked beautiful.

"I've got the dishes, honey. Go read your new Vogue like I know you want to," Blaine announced when they were both finished.

"You're the best," Kurt smiled and Blaine was still surprised that after all these years, it still make his insides squirm to make Kurt happy.

Kurt made it his mission that day to clean the already spotless apartment and prepare the guest room until Blaine insisted that he stop so Blaine could take him out to lunch.

It was just after six when the door buzzed and Blaine leapt up to answer it. Kurt rolled his eyes affectionately as he put down his book and followed after his husband.

"Hey Coop, where are the kids? I thought you were bring over Alexis and Natty over," Blaine said ignoring the elbow of his five year old nephew that was poking out from behind Cooper's legs. A giggle came from just around the corner and Cooper scratched his head.

"Hey Blaine, hi Kurt, you know there were just here but now I can't find them," Cooper said louder than necessary as he played along.

"Well that's too bad. I guess we're going to have to eat all this ice cream and candy by ourselves," Kurt sighed overdramatically.

"It's too bad that we won't have any help building the most Guinness Book of World Records' worthy blanket fort," Blaine sighed overdramatically as well.

At the mention of building a fort Nathaniel gasped quietly through the space between Cooper's legs.

"And it's too bad, there isn't a niece to help me design a new outfit for her Christmas gift this year," Kurt called towards the corner he had heard a giggle from and smiled when he heard a sharp intake of breath.

"Boo!" shouted Nathaniel as he appeared from behind Cooper.

"Oh my god!" Blaine cried as he clutched his heart and pretended to see his life flash before his eyes and Kurt gasped loudly.

"You scared us, mister!" Kurt playfully scolded.

Nathaniel giggled and went around the corner to drag his sister from her hiding spot.

"Come give your favorite uncles big hugs, you monsters," Blaine smiled hugely.

Kurt and Blaine gave them each big hugs and kisses before releasing them to scamper off to put their stuff in the guest room like always.

"Thanks again, guys. You're really saving my ass. Ali still doesn't know so she might call to check in on them and say goodnight but know that it's not because she doesn't think you can handle everything. They love you so they'll be on their best behavior. And if they're not then we don't want them back," Cooper smiled.

"We're happy to take those cuties off your hands anytime, Coop, you know that," Kurt assured him.

"Natty, Alexis, come hug your dad before he goes," Kurt called into the apartment.

Both kids ran full speed towards Cooper and nearly knocked him over as he knelt down to their level. "Ooof!" he said with a groan. "I'm getting too old for this."

"Bye Daddy!" They called and ran back into the apartment.

"Be good for Uncle Blaine and Uncle Kurt!" he called after them.

"We've got your little rascals, go have fun with Ali," Blaine shooed.

"Give her our love. We should have you all over again sometime soon!" Kurt exclaimed excitedly. "Tell Ali I'll email her," Kurt added.

Blaine could practically see plans for a dinner party forming in Kurt's head.

They said their goodbyes and exchanged a look before heading into what was sure to be a fun but exhausting night with their niece and nephew.
