"OOOWWW!"
Kurt dropped his newspaper suddenly as a loud cry of pain filled the house. He jumped out of his chair and practically ran towards the source of the noise.
"OUCH OUCH OUCH!"
Kurt entered the living room and saw Sarah sitting on the floor, holding an apple with a frustrated look on her face.
"Sarah? What's wrong?" Kurt asked frantically, kneeling so he was eyelevel with his daughter.
"Every time I take a bite of my apple I get this sharp pain in my tooth and it's really really dumb because I am really really hungry and I just want to eat my apple!" Sarah said hurriedly, staring at her apple.
"Lemme see," Kurt replied, grabbing Sarah's chin and turning her to face him.
Sarah opened her mouth wide and Kurt searched her teeth. His eye's immediately landed on one of Sarah's top teeth that was twisted slightly to the side. Kurt reached a hand up and wiggled it gently.
Sarah raised an eyebrow curiously as her father let out a small little laugh.
"What are you doing?" Sarah said, pushing Kurt's hand away.
"You have a loose tooth!" Kurt announced excitedly.
"I- what? What do you mean?"
"You're gonna lose your first tooth! This is so exciting, Sarah, you're growing up!"
"I… When you grow up… you lose your teeth?" Sarah asked in a worried whisper.
"Well, you lose your baby teeth. Then your adult teeth grow in and replace them," Kurt explained quickly, suppressing a laugh as Sarah let out a loud, overdramatic sigh of relief.
Sarah pushed her tongue against her loose tooth experimentally and laughed as it moved forward easily. She moved her tongue around her tooth and giggled as it twisted and turned with ease and almost no pain.
"This is actually kinda cool," Sarah said, more to herself, as she got up and ran to the bathroom to look at her tooth.
Kurt laughed to himself as he walked out of the living room and into the office to talk to Blaine.
"How much does the Tooth Fairy pay per tooth?" Kurt asked casually, falling onto the couch opposite the desk Blaine was seated at.
"What? Why?" Blaine asked, turning to face Kurt quickly.
"Sarah's got a loose tooth," Kurt replied as Blaine sat next to him on the couch, a huge grin spreading across his face.
"Oh wow! This is so exciting! Her first loose tooth… She's growing up so fast," Blaine replied, feeling older then he was.
"Daddies lookit!" Sarah exclaimed, running into the office.
Kurt and Blaine turned to watch as Sarah opened her mouth and twisted her tooth all the way around.
"Haha awesome!" Blaine exclaimed, as Kurt shook his head in mild amusement and disgust.
"What's wrong daddy? Don't you like my trick?" Sarah asked mischievously, turning her tooth around the other way.
"It's… it's interesting." Kurt said hesitantly, turning away as Sarah smiled, showing off her crooked tooth.
"So daddies," Sarah began, squeezing into what little room remained between Kurt and Blaine on the couch. "Erica told me, when she lost her first tooth, she put it under her pillow and the Tooth Fairy gave her money. Do you think the Tooth Fairy will give me money for my tooth?"
"Of course she will honey," Blaine answered reassuringly.
"Good," Sarah said happily, wiggling her tooth with her tongue, much to Kurt's dismay.
Sarah sat at the kitchen table with a small mirror in one hand, wiggling her tooth with the other. It had been a whole day since she realized her tooth was loose and she was starting to get really frustrated. Plus, she just decided yesterday that apples were her favorite food and now she can't eat them. She was also having a tough time eating the toast she made herself for breakfast.
Kurt sat across from Sarah and took in the aggravated expression on her face. He thought about asking her what was wrong, when he decided against it. Knowing Sarah, she would start ranting any minute know.
"How long does a tooth take to fall out?" Sarah asked after a moment, not bothering to look up from her mirror.
"Well it really depends… It can be anywhere from a day or two, to maybe a week or so. It never really took my teeth to long to fall out after they became loose."
Sarah furrowed her eyebrows and began to focus on her tooth, as if thinking hard enough could make her tooth fall out faster.
"Don't worry sweetie," Kurt said, reaching over to take the mirror from Sarah's hand. "Your tooth will fall out when it falls out. There's no hurry. And there's no way in hell we're forcing it out, because that is just disgusting." Kurt finished, with a laugh.
Sarah nodded and leaned back in her chair, twisting her tooth all the way around and giggling at Kurt's disturbed shiver.
"Sarah, do want to take Marcel for a walk with me?" Blaine asked, entering the kitchen with Marcel on his leash.
Sarah leapt from her chair excitedly, taking the leash from Blaine's hands.
"Do you wanna come too daddy?" Sarah asked Kurt with a large smile.
"No, you guys go ahead; I have some work I need to get finished." Kurt explained, standing from his chair and walking towards the office, stopping only to give Blaine a quick, loving kiss on the cheek.
Sarah skipped happily as Marcel ran ahead of her, attempting to sniff every tree they passed. Blaine walked a few steps behind, keeping a close eye on his daughter. Sarah had a knack for disappearing when it was Blaine's turn to watch her. Ever since the one time he lost her at the mall, he had been hesitant to let her out of his sight for more than a second.
Blaine watched as Sarah hopped onto a bench, and walked across it as Marcel looked up at her from the ground. She jumped down and landed gracefully next to the puppy and continued to skip happily. Blaine laughed to himself, as he looked around at the other people at the park.
He heard hurried footsteps and a small cry of shock and when he snapped his head back to Sarah, she was on the ground, holding her chin in her hand. Blaine swore silently to himself, and jogged to Sarah's side.
Blaine expected tears or something from Sarah, but was shocked to see she had a small look of accomplishment on her face. He raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth speak, when Sarah lifted opened her mouth and spit a small, shiny tooth into her hand.
"It fell out," Sarah said quietly, with a small laugh. Blaine just looked at her in disbelief before laughing and pulling her to her feet.
"I… Congratulations!" Blaine breathed, attempting to form a coherent sentence.
"Daddy?"
"Yeah?"
"Can we get some ice cream?"
Blaine just laughed and nodded, taking Sarah's hand and leading the way towards the ice cream stand.
Kurt sat on the couch, reading a magazine, when the front door opened and he heard Sarah giggling excitedly. Before he knew it, Sarah was landing on the spot next to him, holding out a small folded napkin. He took it curiously and unfolded it slowly, to reveal a small tooth.
Kurt turned to look at Sarah, who was grinning broadly, showing off the small gap in her smile. He laughed and handed the tooth back to Sarah, who took it happily, running off the her room to put it somewhere safe until it was time for bed.
Blaine collapsed next to Kurt, and wrapped him up in a warm hug.
"So how did that happen?" Kurt asked, his voice slightly muffled against Blaine's chest, "I didn't expect it to fall out for another few days."
"One minute she was skipping happily, the next she was on the ground holding her tooth. She claims Marcel tripped her."
Kurt laughed, cuddling closer to his husband.
"So, how much is a tooth worth now-a-days?"
"Sarah told me Erica gets a dollar per tooth," Blaine replied as Kurt hummed in response.
"So a dollar then?" Kurt asked, leaning back to make eye contact with Blaine.
"When I was a kid, I only got a quarter…" Blaine said with a mock pout.
"Awh, poor Blainers," Kurt replied, placing a hand on Blaine's cheek sympathetically. "Life must have been so hard for you, huh?"
"You have no idea," Blaine laughed at Kurt's obvious sarcasm.
Kurt rolled his eyes and relaxed against Blaine, breathing in the familiar scent of comfort, and letting himself drift off to sleep.
Later that night Sarah sat on her bed, holding the special envelope she made to protect her tooth, the words "To: The Tooth Fairy" written across the front in purple crayon.
She peeked inside one last time, to make sure everything was in the envelope before placing it under her pillow.
Sarah ran out of her room to say her goodnights to her parents so she could get to sleep as quickly as possible. The idea of a real life fairy entering her house was the most exciting thing ever and she couldn't wait to wake up and see how much money she would get.
Kurt and Blaine kissed Sarah goodnight and waited in the living room for an hour and a half, before silently entering her bedroom to check if she was asleep.
Blaine carefully lifted Sarah's pillow, trying not to laugh as he saw the colorful envelope. He quickly replaced it with a one dollar bill, and followed Kurt to the kitchen.
"Oh my goodness, what will this girl come up with next." Kurt said with a smile, pulling his chair closer to Blaine's so he could open the envelope with him.
They placed the tooth on the table and exchanged an amused look as Blaine pulled a small note from the envelope. Kurt leaned his head onto Blaine's shoulder and they read the note together.
"Dear Miss Tooth Fairy.
Or Mr, I don't really know…
Uhm. Hi! My name is Sarah. I was wondering… Why do you take kid's teeth? What do you do with them? And where do you get all this money from? I mean, it's awesome and all, but… why?
If you could just leave me a note answering my questions, I would be really happy.
Love Sarah."
"Oh my god, I love this kid." Blaine said with a laugh.
"We should leave a reply. It would be rude of the Tooth Fairy to not answer these questions." Blaine smiled at his husband as he grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, preparing to write.
"Daddy daddy daddy look what the Tooth Fairy left me!" Sarah yelled, landing on her parent's bed.
Kurt and Blaine sat up tiredly, and watched as Sarah waved a one dollar bill in their faces.
"Oh wow, that sure is a lot of money," Blaine said admiringly. "What are you going to do with it?"
"Iunno, but lookit this!" Sarah announced, pulling a note out of the pocket in her pajama pants.
Kurt and Blaine shared a knowing look as Sarah cleared her throat and prepared to read.
"Dear Sarah, to answer your questions, I just really like teeth. I have quite the collection. As for the money part, that is a secret only I can know. Love, the Tooth Fairy. P.s. I am a girl."
Sarah lowered the note and stared excitedly at her father's.
"The Tooth Fairy answered my questions. Can I go call Erica? She has to hear about this!" Her father's both nodded and Sarah squealed happily, hopping off the bed, and running out of the room.
Blaine laughed quietly, laying back down on the bed and pulling Kurt on top of him.
"We have the craziest daughter in the world."
