a/n - Here we are, at the end. This is the sixth and final chapter of How Time Flies! In this chapter, I decided to kind of bring the story full circle - the kids are all grown up and now they're the ones with kids.

Six: All Grown Up

"Daddy, Papa, meet Monique," Marissa said.

"Sweetie, she's beautiful," replied Kurt.

"Can I hold her?" Blaine requested.

Marissa chuckled. "Of course you can." She carefully handed the baby to her father.

"Where's Sean?" asked Kurt.

"Distracting his niece and nephew so that Monique can meet her grandparents," answered Marissa. "His sister brought her kids along. She and her husband went to grab some food and left poor Sean with the demon spawn. …Never tell Uncle Dwight that I call them that."

Blaine and Kurt laughed. "Never," agreed Blaine.

Monique, who had been slowly falling asleep, started to cry from the loud laughter. "Oh, honey, no, don't cry," Kurt said quietly. He rocked her and walked in circles around Blaine and Marissa until she stopped crying and closed her eyes again with a yawn. "It's been an awfully long time since I've had to do this."

"Well I appreciate it. So far when she's started crying, people just hand her back to me. Even Sean!" Marissa replied.

"At least you can get back at him," Kurt told her. "Just do what I did and make him get up when she screams in the middle of the night."

Blaine glared at his husband. Marissa giggled. "I'll keep that in mind!"


Lorna Brightman grabbed Harmony's sleeve. "Oh no you don't! George, catch Melody before she escapes!"

Her husband scooped up their other daughter. "I don't remember being this difficult when I was little."

"They're toddlers, George," replied Fred. "I'm sure we were this difficult."

"Right, we probably were," agreed George. He buckled Melody into her car seat and then did the same for her twin.

"Where's Andrew with the other booster seats? We're going to be late," asked Fred, who was holding onto both Dallas and Austin so that they couldn't run away.

"Right here," replied Andrew, holding up the two car seats he'd been sent to get from the other car. "It's a good thing your sister isn't driving with us – I don't think there'd be enough room." He and Fred put the boys into their seats before climbing into the car and buckling in themselves.

"Audrey, Duncan, and Caroline live in a different city, Andrew," Lorna pointed out. "It'd make less than no sense for them to drive 86% of the way there and then switch cars."

Andrew shrugged. "All the better, then."


"Dare, he's finally asleep," Emmie said. "I need you to be really, really quiet."

There was a crash in the next room over and baby Christopher started crying loudly.

Emmie groaned. "It took me three hours to get him to sleep, but only three seconds for Garrett Puckerman to wake him back up!"

"I'll take Chris," Darren said, taking the baby. "You go take a break. Maybe tell Annie and Jeremy to keep their kid under control – there are at least eight children two and under in this house for the weekend."

She kissed Darren, then Christopher. "Dare, you're a lifesaver."


"Alan, can you say hello to Grandpa Dwight?" Luna asked, repositioning the 17-month-old on her hip.

Alan waved. "Hewwo."

Dwight smiled. "Hi, Alan."


Claire handed the baby carrier holding her daughter, Anita, to her husband. Then she threw her arms around her longtime best friend. "Rissa! How's the baby?"

"Hello, Claire," greeted Marissa, returning the hug. "Monique's been very well, although I'll be grateful when she learns how to tell us in words what's wrong."

Claire laughed. "I know how you feel. They're always crying, and it's just a guessing game to figure out why! Uncle David says it gets a bit easier to figure out once you get used to being a parent, and I trust that – he helped my dad raise me, he should know – but it seems so far off!"


Kurt, Blaine, Evan, Ethan, Dwight, Julian, Logan, Reed, Shane, David, and Wes all sat together on couches in the family room.

"Can you believe that we're grandparents now?" Wes asked.

Reed shook his head. "Seems like it hasn't been long enough."

"Like just last week Rissa, Fred, George, and Claire were graduating high school," agreed Blaine.

"And like it was just a few days ago that Darren appeared at his first awards show," Julian added.

Evan and Ethan nodded. "Like Fred and George should still think girls are icky," one of them said.

"And Audee shouldn't even be school," the other one finished.

Dallas Brightman toddled into the room and hid behind Logan's armchair. "What are you up to?" Shane asked.

"Shh!" Dallas replied. "I'm hidin' from Alan! We're playin' hide-'n-go-theek!"

The former Dalton students laughed and Dallas shushed them again.

Alan ran in as fast as his little legs could carry him, with Luna trailing behind. "Is Dawwas here?" Kurt subtly pointed towards where Dallas was half-hiding. "Dawwas! I found you!"

"Uncle Kurt!" Luna chastised. "Let them do it themselves!"

Before Kurt could respond, the boys were out the door again and Luna had followed.

Dwight shook his head. "Time really has flown. Remember when it was Jade telling us not to help the kids cheat?"

"Remember when we didn't have kids?" asked Reed.

"Remember when none of us were married?" Shane added.

David nodded. "It feels like only yesterday that we were still in high school."
