KLAINE BABIES YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
"DADDYYYYY!"
"Blaine, no." Kurt whined, rolling onto his stomach. "Don't."
"But she wants us." Blaine protested, sitting up.
"If we keep going to her, then she's going to keep doing this. All night. For the rest of our lives." Kurt said, rolling back over and sitting up.
"But it's not like with Nicky and Zachy, Kurt. She doesn't have someone in her bedroom with her. She's scared." Blaine said, moving to stand.
"No, Blaine." Kurt said, grabbing his arm. "We have to just let her fall asleep on her own and then she'll see it's okay."
"That's cruel." Blaine scoffed. "Let me go."
"Blaine, we have not had sex in four weeks." Kurt snapped. "Because every single night, Sophie starts to cry for us between ten and ten thirty. And you always bring her in here to sleep with us. Do you like being celibate?"
""DAAAAAAADDYYYYYYYYY!"
"Kurt, I'm getting her! I can't take listening to it!" Blaine exclaimed, jumping out of bed. "Daddy's coming, Sophie!"
"Oh my God, Blaine. You are such a pushover." Kurt moaned, falling back into a laying position and scooting onto his side of the bed.
"I don't care." Blaine left the room, padding down the hall and looking into the twins' bedroom. Nicky was on top of his blankets, legs akimbo and wavy hair sticking up. Zachy was neatly snuggled under his covers, his stuffed penguin under one arm and his other hand was half covering his face.
"D-D-DADDDDY!"
Blaine jogged across the hall. "Baby, baby, baby, what's the matter?" he cooed, coming into the room.
Sophie was standing in her crib, hair sticking to her face and her cheeks red and sticky from her tears. "Daddy!"
"Hello there, my love." Blaine said, scooping her up. "You're supposed to be asleep, monkey."
"Scared." Sophie said, latching onto him and burying her face in his neck. She snuffled into his skin, shoulders shaking.
"What are you scared of, pumpkin?" Blaine asked, rocking her an attempt to soothe her.
"The darks." Sophie responded, whimpering. "Monsters."
"There aren't any monsters, silly!" Blaine laughed.
"Nicky said they is under the crib and in the closet." Sophie protested, looking at him with big eyes.
"Well Nicky is very wrong." Blaine said, turning the light on. "Do you see any monsters?"
"They is hiding."
"They are hiding." Blaine corrected. "But there are no monsters. See? The light scares monsters away."
"Sleep with Daddy." Sophie said, nuzzling his shoulder.
"You're gonna get Daddy in trouble." Blaine laughed, but in all honesty he had already resigned to the fact that his daughter would be cocooned between he and Kurt again. He actually kind of liked it.
"Sleep with Daddy." Sophie repeated, blinking at him with big hazel eyes. "Please?"
"Since you asked so nicely." Blaine shut the light off and padded back down the hall, peeking into the twins room again. Nicky had somehow managed to end up on the floor, and had pulled his pillow over his face. "Oh God. Sophie, Nicky is trying to kill himself I think."
"Uh oh." Sophie yawned and nuzzled Blaine as he pulled the pillow off of Nicky. His son just rolled over and sniffled.
"I'm gonna set you here and put him back in bed." Blaine sat Sophie against Nicky's pillow on the bed and then eased Nicky up.
"Mmmmh no, the aliens won't like that." Nicky mumbled into Blaine's shoulder. "They only like blue cheese."
"Shh, shh, shh." Blaine whispered, easing him onto the bed.
Nicky curled up, rolling and smacking Sophie in the face.
Sophie scowled and attempted to kick him as Blaine scooped her up.
"Where'stheparty?" Zachy murmured sleepily, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Dad?"
"Go back to sleep, honey. Nicky just fell out of bed again."
"Mmmhm." Zachy rolled over, back facing them.
Blaine tiptoed out of the room and made his way into the bedroom. Kurt was sitting up and sketching.
"Hey, none of that in the bedroom. If I can't have case papers in bed, then you can't have that in bed." Blaine said teasingly.
"You've brought me a gift." Kurt put his sketchbook on the floor and opened his arms.
"Daddy." Sophie said, nuzzling his chest.
Kurt wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "Hello, baby. Are we not sleeping in our crib?"
"Monsters." Blaine whispered. "They're scary."
"There aren't any monsters in your room, monkey." Kurt said, kissing her cheek. "Oh, your cheeks are all red from crying. Sweetie…"
Sophie nuzzled him, knowing she now had Kurt right where she wanted him. "Sleep with Daddy."
"Just tonight." Blaine said firmly.
"Like last night? And the thirty before that?" Kurt rolled his eyes, sliding into a laying position. "Alright, sweetie. You're gonna lay right here between me and Daddy."
Sophie giggled and waved as Blaine laid on her other side.
"Hi!" Blaine said, leaning over and attacking her chubby face with kisses.
"Blaine, she's never going to go to sleep!" Kurt tried to sound annoyed, but it was hard to be annoyed when you had such an adorable husband and daughter like he had.
"Sleep is for the weak!" Nicky declared, making his way into the room.
"Hey, don't leave meeee!" Zachy yelped, running into the room. "Nicky, don't leave me! It's dark!"
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Nicky climbed onto the bed and crawled up in between Kurt and Blaine so he was next to Sophie. "I had a dream about—about monsters! And aliens! Zachy was there too."
"I left my penguin!" Zachy yelped, running from the room.
"Watch out for the monsters!" Nicky called.
"Nicholas, stop. Monsters aren't real." Blaine sighed as Sophie's eyes widened.
"What about the old lady across the street? She's scary." Nicky said, giving Kurt a lopsided smile.
"He's got a point." Blaine mumbled as Kurt smacked his arm. "Ouch!"
Zachy padded into the room and scrambled to get on the bed, but he was still short enough that Blaine had to help him.
"Was that hard work, baby?" Kurt asked, ruffling his son's curls.
"Yes." Zachy nodded and curled upon Blaine's lap. "Thanks, Dad."
"You're very welcome, sir." Blaine said, kissing his cheek.
"Now that we've got a bed full of children," Kurt laughed. "Maybe we should attempt to sleep."
"Sleep is for the weak!" Nicky repeated. "Plus, if we sleep the aliens will come and take our brains and swap them out with piggy brains."
"Will not." Zachy said, nuzzling Blaine's arm. "Right, Dad?"
"Very right." Blaine said as Nicky began making loud snorting noises and giving Sophie Eskimo kisses. Sophie raised her little fist, hitting him upside the head. "Sophia, that wasn't very nice."
"It's okay, Dad. I can take it." Nicky said cheerfully, snuggling up to Kurt. "You're warm, Daddy."
"And you're cold, little one." Kurt said, wrapping his arms around Nicky and pulling him closer. "I'll get you warm."
Nicky giggled as Kurt rubbed his little hands. "I'm warm now."
"I don't know. You still feel a little chilly to me!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Daddy!" Nicky whined.
"Shh. The less you speak, the warmer you'll be." Kurt laughed.
"You just don't want me to talk." Nicky pouted.
"No!" Blaine gasped, smirking. "We would never want you to be quiet."
"It's a good thing." Nicky said, climbing over Kurt and sitting above his head on the pillows. He then stood on the pillows, attempting to lift himself with the headboard.
"Nick!" Kurt snapped. "No. How many times do we have to tell you to not climb on the furniture?"
"But it's fun, daddy." Nicky said, making no move to cease his lifting.
"He gets this from you." Kurt said, sending Blaine a playful glare. "There is no doubt whatsoever that these are your sons, Blaine."
Nicky slid down and moved on Blaine's lap with Zachy. "Dad, how come you and Sophie and Daddy all sleep together?"
"We like parties too." Zachy said, nodding.
Blaine looked at his sons, both staring at him with his own wide hazel eyes.
"Sophie's afraid to sleep on her own." Kurt said, rocking Sophie.
"Someone's monster stories aren't helping." Blaine added, tickling Nick's side.
"Sophie needs a big girl bed!" Zachy exclaimed.
Sophie, who had half fallen asleep, sat up eagerly. "Big girl?"
"A big girl bed!" Zachy nodded. "And then—and then, 'cause you'll be a big girl, you won't be scared!"
"Big girl bed, Daddy." Sophie said, tugging at Kurt's t-shirt. "I is a big girl."
"I am a big girl." Blaine said.
"We are not getting her a big girl bed." Kurt snapped. "She is my baby."
"Shucks, they're gonna do it again." Zachy sighed.
"Daddy, Grandpa said you had to accept it." Nicky said.
"She'll be three soon, Kurt." Blaine pointed out.
"But she's the baby." Kurt repeated, kissing Sophie's cheek. "You can all three just stop it right now, please."
"It's okay. She'll still be a baby." Blaine laughed.
"Big girl." Sophie argued. "Big girl!"
"And when you're big, monsters don't bother you!" Zachy said, kissing her cheek.
"Oh, how sweet." Blaine cooed. "Our babies are sweet."
"We're not babies!" The twins chorused together.
"Big girl, big girl, Daddy!" Sophie said, tugging at Kurt's shirt again. "Big girl like Nicky and Zachy, Daddy!"
"Why did we teach them how to talk again?" Kurt sighed sadly.
"I don't know. We didn't even have to try with Sophie. She pretty much came out of the womb talking." Blaine laughed.
"And teaching Zachy was like pulling teeth." Kurt sighed again.
"No. He knew how, he just refused." Blaine said, giving Zachy a squeeze. "You were just asserting your independence, right?"
"Mhmm." Zachy said sleepily, nodding into Blaine's chest.
"Shh, shh." Kurt whispered as Nicky opened his mouth to begin talking.
"No, Zachy, no! Fight it!" Nicky said, clambering over Sophie and shaking Zachy. "Don't let them win!"
"Nicholaaaas." Blaine whined, moving into a laying position and snuggling Zachy who was trying his best to ignore his twin. "Lay down."
Nicky laid down over Sophie, trapping her.
"DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY!" Sophie shrieked, arms and legs flailing wildly.
Kurt pulled Nicky off of Sophie. Sophie sat up, scowling and very much awake.
"I'll just be going to sleep now." Nicky giggled, hiding under the covers. He wiggled until his head had reached the foot of the bed, pushing the blanket up until his head was visible. "Just needed breathing room. It's okay."
"This is your fault." Kurt hissed as he tried to fold the middle of the blanket in a way that left all parties without covered faces.
"My fault? You're the one who wanted the long blanket." Blaine responded, causing Zachy to giggle gleefully.
"It's true, Daddy!"
