Ah I'm sorry this took so long but I was being really unproductive but ajksdfk here's chapter four :3
Sarah sat on her father's lap on the couch, while Kurt braided her hair. She didn't really like braids, but her dad really loved to do her hair so she let him. It made him happy, and when Kurt was busy with her hair, Sarah could change the channel and watch Spongebob Squarepants.
The phone rang in the kitchen, and Blaine called out from his office that he would answer it.
Neither Kurt nor Sarah could care less though; they were too wrapped up in what they were doing.
"Sarah, Erica is on the phone, she wants to talk to you," Blaine said, walking casually into the living room with the wireless phone in his hand.
Sarah immediately jumped off Kurt's lap and ran to take the phone out of Blaine's hands.
"Hey, I'm not done!" Kurt said, attempting to hide his disappointment. He absolutely loved Sarah's hair. It was the perfect shade of dark brown, and when it wasn't in a pony tail, it would reach all the down to the small of Sarah's back. Plus, it was really soft. (Thanks to the expensive shampoo Kurt insisted upon buying every month.)
"You can do my hair later daddy! I'm gonna go talk to Erica!" Sarah put the phone to her ear and said hi to her best friend from kindergarten, as she walked away to her bedroom.
Kurt fell back on the couch and let his hands fall to his side with a small sigh. He found the remote and quickly switched off the TV. How in the hell did this stupid show get on his TV anyways?
Blaine sat down in the empty space on the couch and slid his hand into Kurt's.
"You can play with my hair if you want," Blaine said with a smile as Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Your hair is too short to do anything with." Kurt replied with a smirk, shoving Blaine in the shoulder playfully.
Blaine laughed and wrapped his arm around Kurt and pulled him in close, grabbing the remote and searching for a show they could watch together.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE HOLD ON I'LL ASK!" Sarah squealed from her bedroom, loud enough to cause Kurt to jump.
Kurt and Blaine shared a questioning look as they heard a door swing open and hurried footsteps heading their way.
Sarah burst into the living room and hopped up and down excitedly. Finally she stopped hopping, closed her eyes, and took a long, overdramatic breath to calm herself down.
"Daddy." Sarah said staring seriously into Kurt's eyes. "Daddy." She said turning to stare deep in to Blaine's eyes. "Erica invited me over to her house for a slumber party. And I need to go." Sarah stated as seriously as possible, fighting back all of her excitement.
Kurt looked at Blaine with a worried expression. He saw how excited Sarah was about this, but she had never slept away from home before. This would be her first sleep over. Isn't she a bit young? She's only five years old after all.
"I NEED TO GO. PLEASE." Sarah pleaded dropping to her knees, stretching both hands out in front of her as if she was praying.
Blaine smiled lightly at Kurt. It wasn't a very big deal to him. It was just a sleepover. Plus, she really wanted to go, so why shouldn't he let them?
Blaine turned to his daughter and opened his mouth to speak, but Kurt was quicker. Slapping a hand over his husband's mouth, he smiled sheepishly at Sarah.
"We'll talk it over, okay sweetie? You go back to your room and talk to Erica; we'll call you back when we make up our minds." Kurt tried his best not to sound nervous as he spoke. He really wasn't sure about this...
Blaine struggled against Kurt's hold, but Kurt just kept pulling him back. Blaine attempted to break away from his husband's hold, but Kurt wouldn't let go. Not until Sarah left. He knew Blaine would say yes right away without thinking of the consequences and Kurt wanted to have his say in this.
Sarah's smile faltered a little, but she had hope. She hopped up to her feet, dusted off her pants, and clasped her hands together pleadingly.
"I really, really, really want to go. Just keep that in mind." Sarah whispered, as she backed out of the living room. The second she was out of the room, she turned and broke out into a run.
Kurt heard the door close, and released his squirming husband. Blaine fell away from Kurt and yelped in shock as he hit the floor. Kurt laughed lightly to himself, as Blaine stood and sat next to his husband, acting as though he hadn't fallen at all.
"So. Thank's for that." Blaine said sarcastically as Kurt rolled his eyes.
"I knew you would say yes without thinking. And once Sarah gets a yes, there's no going back. I wanted a say in this." Kurt said simply, crossing his legs to face Blaine on the couch.
"...I thought it over a little bit..." Blaine muttered, mimicking Kurt's position so they could see each other perfectly while they talked.
"So. Why not?" Blaine asked, instinctively grabbing Kurt's hands with his.
"She's only five years old, Blaine. That's a little young, don't you think?"
"No. Not at all." Blaine said simply, flashing a small grin.
Kurt rolled his eyes.
"She hasn't slept away from home before-"
"Lies!" Blaine laughed. "She's slept away from home lots of times!"
"Grandma and Grandpa's house doesn't count." Kurt sighed, thinking back to the many times they travelled to Ohio to visit Burt and Carole.
"Well why not? That's away from home, isn't it?" Blaine smirked as Kurt just shook his head.
"Sarah was only one room away. This will be her first night away from us."
"Well then there's a first time for everything!"
"But- what if she gets a nightmare at Erica's house?" Kurt knew he was basically making up reasons why Sarah shouldn't go, but he couldn't shake the feeling that she was too young. "Who's going to comfort her?" Kurt said, looking worried.
"Mary would." Blaine said simply, referring to Erica's mother. Kurt sighed lightly, mulling over everything. "Plus, she hasn't had a nightmare in over a year. Not since the boogeyman moved out and was replaced by a friendly Norwegian dragon." Blaine smiled as Kurt laughed; remembering the story Sarah made up to overcome her fear of having monsters under her bed. According to Sarah, the dragon was really good at convincing the monsters to move out and leave her alone.
"And if she got home sick she could just call us and we can go pick her up." Kurt looked down at their linked hands with a sigh, knowing he'd been defeated.
"She can handle herself, Kurt. She's really proven herself with Marcel. She's a big girl." Blaine smiled as Kurt threw his hands up in defeat.
"Fine, fine, she can go!"
Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt onto his lap, kissing the top of his head.
They sat in silence, Kurt doing his best to convince himself that this was a good idea, and Blaine just loving every moment he spent with Kurt.
Kurt took a slow breath and laughed quietly.
"...She is going to absolutely explode when we tell her."
Sarah practically screamed, as she jumped up and down with excitement, flailing her arms wildly and thanking her parents.
Kurt and Blaine just laughed and tried to get her to calm down a little.
"Sarah, call Erica and ask her what time you should go over okay?" Blaine held Sarah by the shoulders as he spoke to keep her attention.
Sarah squealed quietly and nodded her head to show she understood.
"And then we'll help you pack, okay?" Sarah nodded again as she started to hop slightly in Blaine's hands.
Blaine let go of Sarah and pulled Kurt with him towards the kitchen, closing the door behind him.
They sat at the table together, as the faint sound of squealing and hopping filled the kitchen.
Blaine and Kurt shared a look of amusement.
She may be a little insane, but they had the most precious daughter in the entire world.
"Wait! Did you remember a hairbrush? It's not too late to go back and get it if you did. I don't want you to wake up in the morning and be stuck with messy hair all day, maybe we should go back and-"
"Kurt shut up." Blaine interrupted, eyes focused on the road as he drove. Kurt played with his seatbelt nervously. Sarah may be responsible and all that but she was still Kurt's little girl. What if Erica's house didn't have a proper locks and security systems and a criminal broke in and kidnapped his baby! No no no this was a bad idea-
Kurt shook his head, throwing every bad thought out the window. He scolded himself for being so damn over protective and busied his mind by playing a game on his phone.
Sarah sat in the back seat, her backpack in the seat next to her, as she held her pillow in her lap. She was smiling larger than she had ever smiled in her entire life. She couldn't wait to get to Erica's house. This was her first sleepover ever! Erica said they were going to sleep on the living room floor, in sleeping bags. And they were going to watch movies, and play board games, and tell scary stories to eachother until they fell asleep.
Sarah was practically vibrating with excitement.
The car turned onto the street Erica lived on and Sarah peered out the window, counting down the houses until-
"WE'RE HERE!" Sarah squealed, practically ripping off her seat belt and grabbing her bag.
The family exited the car and walked up the stone path way up to front door.
Erica knocked enthusiastically and hopped from her left foot to her right, in a little dance.
Blaine looked on in amusement and looked over to see if Kurt was enjoying the dance too.
Kurt was biting his lip nervously, and didn't even notice when Blaine pecked him on the cheek encouragingly. He attempted to smile but he still looked a little scared.
Blaine opened his mouth to speak to him when the front door opened to reveal a tall brown haired woman, with tan skin and a simple smile.
"Hello Sarah! Kurt, Blaine, nice to see you again." Erica's mother greeted the Hummel-Anderson family, motioning for them all to enter.
"Hey Mary," Blaine greeted, entering the house with Kurt and Sarah.
"We're really glad Sarah could stay over. Erica has been asking for a week to have a sleep over and we finally broke down." Mary stated with a laugh, taking Sarah's bag from her.
Once Mary's back was turned, Kurt gave Blaine a bitchy look. A look that said "They waited a week to agree to this. You know why? PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY'RE A LITTLE YOUNG." But Blaine just rolled his eyes, turning back to the friendly small talk.
"SARAH!" Erica appeared from the end of the hall and ran to greet her best friend.
"ERICA!" Sarah exclaimed, with equalled enthusiasm, wrapping Erica in a friendly hug.
The two girls turned to walk back to Erica's room, talking excitedly off all the amazing plans they had for the night.
"Hey, woah, aren't you going to say bye?" Blaine asked with a laugh.
Sarah giggled and ran back, leaping into Blaine's outstretched arms.
"Bye daddy!" Sarah said happily, jumping down and turning to Kurt.
Kurt knelt down and put his hands on Sarah's shoulders.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay?" Kurt asked seriously.
"Stop worrying daddy!" Sarah said with a giggle. "I'll be fine!"
Kurt laughed, feeling slightly relieved. If Sarah believes she'll be fine, then she'll be fine.
Maybe.
Possibly.
Kurt pushed back his worry and wrapped his daughter up in a tight hug.
"Bye daddy, I love you," Sarah said happily, kissing Kurt lightly on the cheek. She knew how worried Kurt was and the fact that he was letting her have a sleep over anyways really meant a lot to her.
"I love you too Sarah," Kurt replied with a smile, standing up as Sarah skipped away to rejoin Erica.
Mary put a hand over her chest and smiled. She couldn't help but swoon at how adorable the little family was.
Sarah turned back and waved goodbye once more before turning a corner and disappearing.
Kurt let out a sigh and felt Blaine's hand slip into his.
They smiled at each other as they said goodbye to Mary, walking out of the house, and heading back to their little apartment.
Kurt sat on the couch alone, hugging a pillow to his chest. Blaine had gone to get a glass a water, and a movie was playing absently in the background. Usually when Blaine left the room, Sarah would steal his spot and laugh at her dad when he realized he had nowhere to sit. Then Blaine would pick Sarah up and sit in his seat, with Sarah on his lap. Then they would all sit cosily together and they would laugh, and be happy, and oh god Kurt missed Sarah too much.
She'd only been gone for an hour or two, and the house already seemed completely empty without Sarah's happy laughter.
Blaine returned and sat next to Kurt wrapping his arm around Kurt's shoulders.
"She'll be fine, Kurt. Stop worrying." Blaine said, squeezing Kurt gently.
"I know she'll be fine. But I won't be. God, I can't believe how empty this place is without her." Kurt said sadly.
"It's not that empty. There's still you, and me, and Marcel." Blaine said nodding at the fluffy brown dog laying at the end of the couch.
At the mention of his name, Marcel lifted his head and peered curiously at the couple. He looked around before hopping of the couch and leaving for Sarah's room to sleep on his own little dog bed.
"Oh, what, no don't go." Kurt called after Marcel, but the puppy just kept walking. "Why is everyone leaving me?" Kurt cried dramatically, falling over to lay on the couch.
"Excuse me? If you haven't noticed, I've been by your side all damn day, and I think I've been pretty encouraging." Blaine stated matter-of-factly, cuddling up next to Kurt.
"Yeah, thanks to your encouragement my little baby is gone." Kurt said with a laugh, wrapping his arms around his husband, as Blaine nuzzled his face into the crook of Kurt's neck.
"You'll get her back tomorrow." Blaine replied simply, kissing the soft skin of Kurt's neck lightly.
Kurt sighed at the touch and absently stroked Blaine's arm lovingly. He reached a hand over to pull Blaine's face up and placed a soft kiss to Blaine's lips.
They've been together for years, but Kurt's heart still fluttered a little every time they kissed.
Blaine smiled into the kiss, as he brought his hand up to frame Kurt's face. He let his tongue slip out to swipe gently across Kurt's lips. Kurt hummed contentedly, parting his lips to let their tongues explore the familiar territory.
Blaine repositioned them so he was on top, making it easier to kiss Kurt. He let his hands fall down to Kurt's chest as he rubbed absently at the vaguely defined muscles.
Blaine moved down to kiss Kurt's neck and collarbone, as Kurt brought his hand up to wind into Blaine's dark hair, throwing his head back to expose more of his sensitive skin.
"Blaine... Blaine, I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about Sarah," Kurt said with a sigh as Blaine moved to stare seriously into Kurt's eyes.
"Do you want me to help you forget about her?" Blaine replied with a cheeky smile, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"Ugh no, I just- I don't know." Kurt replied. Blaine kissed him gently and pulled back to stare warmly into his eyes.
"Kurt, you're going to have to learn to give her freedom someday," Blaine stated seriously.
"I know, I know... I just... She's still so young! And she isn't going to be this young forever... I feel like I should make the most of this time, you know?"
"I understand," Blaine said, massaging Kurt's cheek gently. "But she still has her whole life ahead of her. We should make the most of all the time we get with her. But more importantly, I think you should let her make the most of her time... If that makes sense." Blaine laughed a little before continuing.
"I think it's great that Sarah already has such a close friend. We should let them have their time together too. You can't be selfish, Kurt." Blaine said with a little laugh as Kurt smiled sadly.
"I love you, Blaine." Kurt said, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
"I love you too, Kurt."
Blaine leaned in for another kiss, and Kurt was all too happy to oblige.
Sarah and Erica were sitting on the floor, playing with dolls, talking loudly and laughing at all the hilarious adventures their characters were getting into.
"...Oh no! Molly is late to the wedding because she forgot her..." Sarah trailed off, trying to think of what her doll forgot.
"Her green shoe laces!" Erica supplied as the girls broke out into another fit of laughter.
"But she's wearing heels! Why does she need shoe laces?" Sarah wheezed, through her laughter.
"Iunno. But she needs 'em" Erica answered, attempting to speak with a southern accent, moving her cowboy doll as if it were the one talking.
Mary opened the door of Erica's bedroom to see the girls lying on their stomachs in front of what looked like some sort of doll house made out of old movies and other random items.
"Girls, time to put on your pyjamas. I'll put a movie on in the living room, and you guys can lay in your sleeping bags, okay?"
"Kay, thanks mom!" Erica replied happily, hopping onto her feet and grabbing her pjs off her bed. Sarah followed suit, and dug through here bag for her pyjamas. She placed her pyjamas on the bed and returned to her bag for her teddy bear.
After a few minutes of searching, she realized it wasn't there.
"Oh no, I forgot my bear!"
"Why don't you call your dad and ask them to bring it over?" Erica suggested, leaving the room.
Sarah thought about it for a while and decided she might as well ask. Kurt did say to call and check in, might as well see if he'll bring over her bear.
Kurt and Blaine were tangled together on the couch, kissing passionately, the movie in the background completely ignored.
Kurt attempted to push Blaine off of him when he heard the phone ring, but Blaine just muttered something about leaving it alone and went back to kissing Kurt.
The phone rang in the background a few times before it went to voicemail, the sound of their answering machine filling the apartment. The beep signalled for whoever was calling to leave a message and Sarah's little voice asked out if anyone was home.
Kurt pushed Blaine with all his strength, leaving him to fall to the floor as he ran across the living room to answer the phone.
Blaine groaned and laid back on the carpeted floor, silently scolding Sarah's timing.
"...Oh don't worry sweetie, we'll bring it over right away! Okay, I love you too, bye." Kurt hung up the phone, and ran to Sarah's room, throwing open the door. Marcel was scared out of his peaceful sleep and sat up, watching Kurt look around the room for Sarah's teddy bear.
Blaine stood up and walked to the kitchen to find Kurt entering with a bear in one hand, grabbing the keys off the hook.
Without even saying anything to Blaine, Kurt grabbed his shoes and walked out the front door, closing it behind him.
Blaine stood in the kitchen alone and completely bewildered. Marcel strolled in silently and they shared a quick look before the front door reopened.
"BLAINE ARE YOU COMING? SARAH NEEDS HER TEDDY BEAR." Kurt called into the house.
"But-"
"HURRY UP."
The front door closed again as Blaine sighed and followed his husband.
"Thank you for bringing me my bear." Sarah said happily, hugging the bear to her chest, as Kurt and Blaine stood in the doorway.
"You're welcome," Kurt said happily, brushing Sarah's hair out of her eyes gently. "Are you having fun?"
"Yeah! Erica and I are going to tell ghost stories and eat popcorn!" Sarah said excitedly.
"Oh well then we should leave you to it then," Blaine cut in from behind Kurt, leaning in to kiss the top of his daughters head.
"Okay, bye daddies!" Sarah hugged Kurt goodbye and kissed his cheek before turning into the house and closing the door behind her.
They walked back to the car and drove home in silence.
"I... I'm sorry. About earlier. But you know, Sarah needed us so..."
Blaine shook his head in amusement.
"You really have to work on this Kurt. You can't be this clingy for the rest of her life you know."
"Yeah, yeah I know." Kurt replied, grabbing Blaine's hand. "And I'm sorry for, you know... Just leaving right in the middle of... you know."
Kurt said shyly. After all this time, he was still a little nervous when it came to talking about the intimate things he and Blaine did together.
Blaine laughed and squeezed Kurt's hand.
"You can make it up to me when we get home." Blaine replied with a wink.
