Annabelle skips happily outside while Kurt and Blaine set things up for their 4th of July party. Having just turned four she is a very energetic little girl. She always runs around when her parents don't want her to and it's always getting her in trouble. It's not really possible for Annabelle to sit still though she really hates to so her parents try not get into arguments about it with her.
"Annabelle Marie! Quit running you're going to get grass stains all over your brand new and very patriotic dress." Kurt scolds.
"Yes Daddy." Annabelle says obediently as she goes to sit in her fancy pink lawn chair.
"Annabelle, come help me pick out a bowtie to wear for the party tonight, tell Daddy he can come with you." Blaine calls through the open screen door.
Annabelle giggles. Her papa really does love his bowties. "Alright, I'll come and I'll bring Daddy with me." Annabelle says with a smile
"Hmmm, I'd go with this one, Blaine." Kurt says referring to his husband's American flag covered bowtie.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. What do you think, Annabelle." Blaine asks.
"Yeah you should wear that one Papa, I like it the best." Annabelle confirms.
Annabelle sits at the table quietly, waiting for more guests to show up when Blaine goes and finds her.
"Hey my little bumblebee, you don't look very happy, what happened?" Blaine asks concerned.
"It's nothing Papa. I'm just nervous because there is going to be a lot of people here." Annabelle says a little nervously.
"Well you shouldn't be nervous at all you know they all love you."
"But I don't like talking to people, and everyone is going to want to talk to me."
"You don't have to talk a lot if you want to just be polite that's all."
"Oh alright, I can do that."
"I know you can, now you should go talk to some people. I promise it really isn't."
While Annabelle is running around with her cousin Lily, Rachel goes to talk to Kurt and Blaine
"Annabelle still really shy?" she asks.
"Yeah but we can't all be social butterflies so it's ok." Kurt says with a small smile
"Yeah but she's a really good kid, you guys are doing a really good job with her." Rachel says smiling.
"We try but I think she does most of the good things. She's an angel." Blaine says
"Daddy, can I change my shoes? My feet hurt." Annabelle says, as she gets up on her tip toes so she can be sure to get her father's attention.
"Of course you can, Princess. I told you that you didn't have to wear your little heels all day Silly. " Kurt says grinning at his daughter.
"I just wanted to be a big girl for you and wear the heels." Annabelle says looking a little bit disappointed in herself.
"It's ok Sweetie, you don't need to wear high heels to be a big girl."
"But Daddy, I wanted to wear heels and be taller. I'm so short."
"And it fits you perfectly."
"It does?"
"Yeah just like a glove."
Annabelle sits down in the grass, the way she sits is so prim and proper like a little lady, and it makes Kurt smile. Annabelle is the sweetest thing and Kurt sees so much of Blaine in her. She has his smile and she knows exactly how to get what she wants she'll just copy her papa's puppy dog eyes.
"Daddy, I don't like being shy. I feel like it makes me weird." Annabelle says quietly when Kurt finishes tucking her in.
"Oh Sweetheart, there's nothing wrong with being shy and it doesn't make you weird I promise." Kurt replies kissing Annabelle's tiny cheek.
"But Daddy, I wish I wasn't."
"I know you do but I promise you it isn't bad at all,"
Thank you Daddy, Goodnight."
"Night Sweetie."
Kurt doesn't care about Annabelle being shy and neither does Blaine, but sometimes they wish she wasn't for Annabelle's sake the poor little girl hates being shy and it just breaks their hearts. Annabelle has friends though, no doubt about that she's just a very shy and quiet four year old.
In the morning, Annabelle wakes up, a ball of energy, happily coming downstairs smile on her face, very messy bed hair, and ballerina pajamas to complete her l morning look.
"Morning Papa, morning Daddy." Annabelle says cheerfully.
"Good morning Bumblebee. Did you sleep ok last night?" Blaine asks, giving his daughter a usual good morning smile.
"Uh huh. " She says smiling
"That's good."
"Hey Princess, you want me to make you some breakfast?" Kurt asks pondering over what he is going to cook.
"Yes please Daddy!" Annabelle replies.
"Ok I'm going to make you French toast then."
"Yay I love French toast"
"I thought you'd like that idea."
"I do like the idea Daddy. I like it a lot."
Kurt smiles. "I know you so well, don't I Princess."
"You do Daddy." Annabelle agrees smiling
Kurt fixes Annabelle's French toast her favorite way, with strawberries and a lot but not too much powdered sugar on top. He sets it in front of her and the family chats while they sit and eat their breakfast together.
"Hey Annabelle, what do you say we go shopping today?" Kurt asks his daughter
"Oooh yes please!" Annabelle says, a very wide smile spreading across her face.
"Ok then! Shopping day it is then Princess!"
"Yay!"
"Blaine, do you want to go to the mall with us?" Kurt asks his husband.
"Kurt Honey, don't be silly, of course I will go to the mall with you two."
"Good, we should get ready so we can get going so we aren't out too late into the day."
Annabelle loves shopping, it's something she clearly gets from Kurt, although when it comes to buying his little girl things that have bows on them, Blaine wasn't too far off on the enthusiasm scale.
"Daddy, can I get this dress?" Annabelle asks, famous , papa inherited puppy dog eyes on her face. The girl really does know exactly how to get whatever she wants.
"Mhmm, it's very pretty, I bet you will look beautiful in it Sweetie. Why don't you go show it to Papa." Kurt says with a smile. He still thinks that she is the most adorable little girl in the world.
"Alright, I'll go show it to him. But daddy aren't I always beautiful?" Annabelle replies with a playful, obvious little daddy's girl smile.
Kurt smiles and starts mimicking Prince Charming. "Why of course you are always beautiful Princess ."
Annabelle giggles uncontrollably. "Daddy you are so silly, you can't be my Prince Charming. You are my daddy, and you're Papa's Prince Charming, duh everyone knows that."
"I am aren't I and he's mine. But Sweetie Pie, please cut down on your sass okay."
"But Daddy why do I have to do that? Papa likes my sass. He thinks it's cute."
"Oh, does he now?"
"Mhmm, ask him if you don't believe me he'll tell you."
"Oh no, I believe you. It just doesn't surprise me."
"Why not?"
"Because he used to be just as sassy as you when we were younger ."
"Really?"
"Yes, he would get so sassy with people over the silliest things."
"Like what?"
"Lots of things. Mostly bowties and hair gel."
"That's really silly.
Kurt smiles as Annabelle happily runs to Blaine and he twirls her around. Kurt absolutely adores his little sassy family.
