So I meant to upload this a while ago (like last week) so for that I'm sorry, things just came up and it never actually happened until now, even though this has been written for a while. I promise I will write and upload the next chapter ASAP, no guarantees but it should be within the next day or two (but like I said, no guarantees because I said that last time and it clearly didn't happen, but it should this time)So anyways… Reviews are always my favorite thing :)
"Kurt, Mercedes is on line one." Tory's voice rang out over the intercom in his office as he looked through some of his sketches for his new fall line.
"Thanks Tory," Kurt said before picking up the phone.
"Hey," He answered breathily into the phone, his attention still on the sketches "what's up?"
"Think you can take some time off for lunch? Tina's in town and Brittany, Santana and I were going to take her to that new diner between 45th and Madison."
"I guess," Kurt said glancing at his watch "meet you in fifteen?"
"Perfect,"
That's how Kurt found himself running into a diner fifteen minutes later where he spotted Mercedes, Tina, Brittany, and Santana all sitting at a table laughing at something it seemed Santana had said.
"Kurt!" Tina smiled getting up to hug him amongst greetings from the rest of the girls "How have you been?"
"Okay," He shrugged "how have you been?"
"Same," She shrugged grinning again.
"How long are you in town?" He asked as he sat down next to her.
"I'm here for the week." Tina said nonchalantly "But more about you, everyone's been saying they haven't heard from you or Blaine in ages. How's Becca?"
"She's great," Kurt said checking his cell phone "I need to pick her up from her friend's at 12:30 though so I really can't stay that long."
"At least eat something and talk to us for a little while lady lips." Santana rolled her eyes.
"Honestly there isn't much to talk about," Kurt shrugged.
"Of course there is," Mercedes raised an eyebrow "like have you and Blaine planned anything for your anniversary yet?"
"Um, no, not yet." Kurt said coughing into his drink. In all honesty he and Blaine had spent so much time planning out what they were going to do for Becca's birthday in two weeks that he'd only barely remembered his and Blaine's anniversary, which was next week.
"Kurt, are you serious?" Mercedes looked at him concerned "You and Blaine always make a big deal out of that sort of stuff. I mean last year…"
"Last year we weren't taking care of a five year old." Kurt said "We don't always go overboard." He added defensively.
"Okay, but it's next Wednesday isn't it? For you to not have even thought of it is concerning, and Blaine would have called me up by down freaking out over what to get you." Mercedes said eyeing him.
"I don't know, I guess we're just busy with everything I guess." Kurt shrugged "I mean I'm not even sure who we'd get to babysit Becca, Quinn usually does but she's in Ohio visiting Beth with her family."
"I could babysit her," Brittany said, causing Kurt's eyes to widen.
"Thanks for the offer Brittany, but I'm not sure…"
"We all could." Mercedes jumped in "I mean Tina's staying at Santana's and my place, Brittany could come over if she wants. It could be like, I don't know, girl bonding."
"We could have a sleepover!" Brittany said excitedly.
"That's actually not a bad idea," Santana said.
"Santana, just because you want to have sex with Brittany…" Kurt started to say.
"No," Santana shook her head "I meant Becca could stay overnight so you and Blaine can have sex." She shrugged at the looks Mercedes and Tina were both giving her "What? I mean look at poor Kurt. He looks like he hasn't been laid in months." She said as Mercedes and Tina both looked at her incredulously and Kurt blushed furiously while Brittany just nodded in agreement.
"Oh my God Kurt, it hasn't been months, has it?" Tina asked looking at Kurt's face now bright red.
"No," Kurt shook his head defensively "maybe weeks though." He said quietly, his face now the color of a tomato.
"See," Santana said triumphantly.
"It's decided." Tina nodded happily.
"Drop Becca off at my place around five-thirty Wednesday, then pick her up whenever the next morning." Mercedes said, making it clear that it wasn't up for debate.
"But Becca's never been away from both of us overnight." Kurt said hesitantly.
"Kurt it'll be fine, it'll be like a giant slumber party. She'll be having so much fun she won't even miss you guys." Mercedes grinned.
"You're starting to sound like Rachel." Kurt raised an eyebrow but Mercedes paid no attention to the remark.
"And don't tell me it won't work because your next line doesn't come out until fall and it's a Wednesday night, the theater's are all dark. Blaine doesn't have work. Neither of you have an excuse."She grinned as Kurt simply sighed in surrender and the conversation changed.
"Blaine I can't believe you managed to get reservations here," Kurt murmured a week later as they sat down in the Daniel, a fancy restaurant near their apartment "You have to make reservations like a month in advance."
"Jenna may have dated someone who works here," Blaine shrugged "she managed to get the reservation for us."
"I swear that girl's dated nearly everyone in this city. She's worse than Santana." Kurt sighed shaking his head. He eyed Blaine, looking up from his drink "This whole thing, it was your idea wasn't it? You called Santana to ask her to babysit, didn't you?"
"Well, yes." Blaine admitted "But Santana really wasn't part of the plan, I called Mercedes and Santana happened to be at her apartment and overheard. Then all the girls wanted in." He looked at Kurt who smiled knowingly.
"Well I'm glad you did," He admitted.
"Happy Anniversary," Blaine grinned leaning across the table to kiss him.
"So how long have you been rooming with Santana?" Tina asked as she and Mercedes sat on the couch, just having tucked Becca into bed. Tina who was next to a sleeping Brittany, looked behind her at Santana who was sitting in the kitchen alone drinking wine.
"About a month," Mercedes said "after Tom broke up with me I needed somewhere to stay. I found out Santana needed someone to help with rent and moved in. Should we stop her?" She asked looking behind her, nodding towards the wine in Santana's hand.
"Nah," Tina smiled "it's too entertaining."
"True," Mercedes smiled she looked out the window, she let out a sigh "Is it me or has it been raining all spring and summer?" The moment she had said it a crack of thunder shook the apartment. Becca came barreling out of Mercedes room where she'd been asleep. She clutched to Mercedes.
"Is she scared of thunder?" Tina whispered, Mercedes shrugged.
"I want Uncle Kurt and Blaine." Becca said.
"Is the thunder scaring you?" Mercedes asked as more thunder rang through the apartment.
"I want Uncle Kurt and Blaine," Becca said again, not answering the question.
"Sweetheart it's okay, they'll be here in the morning. The quicker you go to sleep the sooner they'll be here." Becca didn't respond but buried her face into Mercedes "What do we do?" She asked.
"Wait until she falls asleep." Tina shrugged "She has to calm down eventually, doesn't she?"
A crack of thunder in the middle of the night made Kurt's eyes spring open, he turned to see Blaine watching him, his arms wrapped around Kurt's waist.
"What are you doing?" Kurt laughed at Blaine's dazed expression as lightning lit up the room.
"Watching you," Blaine smiled kissing the crook of Kurt's neck "wondering how I managed to get someone like you."
"Luck," Kurt said dryly before laughing and pulling Blaine closer "I missed this," He murmured before the phone rang.
"It's two in the morning," Blaine grumbled "who…"
"Becca," Kurt sprung from the bed racing to the phone.
"Mercedes? Hey, no, no, it's fine… what? Oh, yeah of course we'll be there in a few minutes. No, we'll pick her up, it's fine. Yeah, see you soon." He said as he ran around the bedroom looking for his clothes and tossing Blaine his before hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Kurt said immediately as he ran into Mercedes and Santana's apartment "I knew this was a bad idea," He looked to Blaine.
"I think the thunder scared her, but she won't talk to us." Mercedes told him as Becca bolted to Kurt and held onto him.
"Honey what's wrong?" Kurt asked as he lifted her into his arms as she buried her face into his chest.
"I thought you were g-gone." She said with a hiccup.
"Oh, sweetheart we're right here." Kurt soothed before handing her over to Blaine.
"We should have known the moment the storm started." Blaine murmured.
"There was a thunder storm the night of the accident." Kurt explained quietly, he looked at Mercedes "But the storm had just started when we left the restaurant, has she been this way the entire time?"
Tina and Mercedes both nodded "We thought we could handle it." Mercedes murmured "Until we realized she wasn't going to sleep. We're sorry it didn't really work out…"
"No it's fine, she wouldn't have gone to sleep if you hadn't called us so it isn't your fault. Thanks for watching her," Blaine smiled "we appreciate it. Thank Santana and Brittany for us too."
"We will," Mercedes smiled, deciding not to tell them Santana had been drunk all night and Brittany had fallen asleep before Becca.
"She seems better," Blaine grinned as they sat back in their taxi a minute later.
"Yeah," Kurt smiled at Becca who was now asleep between the two of them. He tried not to wake up Becca as he carried her up to their apartment, but she started to stir as he set her down in her bed.
"Uncle Kurt," She yawned "What's virginity?"
"Where'd you hear that?" Kurt asked quickly.
"Auntie Santana. She was crying and said she stole daddy's virginity back in high school. I want to get it back for him."
"Uncle Blaine will tell you when you're older."
"But she has it and it isn't hers!"
"Trust me honey, you can't get it back for him." Kurt said kissing her cheek as she drifted back to sleep, exhausted from being up all night.
"Santana's never allowed near Becca without our supervision." Kurt told Blaine later as he got back into bed.
