Part 34

When Blaine and Sebastian came home Thursday night the last thing they expected was to see Jeff and Brittany standing outside of their front door. "Shouldn't you guys be entertaining family?" Sebastian asked as Blaine unlocked the door. Jeff looked at him and that was all either Sebastian or Blaine needed. "That bad huh?"

"You don't even know the beginning of it." Jeff said as they headed down the hall. "They got in earlier than Brittany or I knew and well…"

"Say no more, we get it as it's happened to us on more than one occasion."

"Thanks." Brittany said as they got settled on the couch. "We're not bothering you, are we?"

"No." Sebastian replied. "We were just coming back from having dinner with Michael and Dylan. We were just going to watch the rest of the game actually."

"Sorry."

"Britt, it's not a big deal, honest." Blaine replied before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I take it you came to see us instead of Nick and Santana since it would be harder to find you here."

"Basically, I hope you don't mind." Jeff told them. "It's just, we thought they were getting in later so after we got to spend some time together we could go out and do a few things."

"Yet their early arrival changed everything." Sebastian said.

"Exactly. They said they'd join us, but we really wanted to do this last bit of running around on our own."

"Where are they now?" Blaine asked.

"Back at our place." Brittany told them.

"All of them?"

"No, the girls are over at Megan and Ally's." Jeff replied. "Carly was anxious to see her sister and didn't want to leave Amanda with the parents."

"So both sets of parents are at your place."

"Yep. They got in this afternoon actually and did a bit of running around and were all set to spend the evening with us not realizing we might have plans."

"Not good." Sebastian said. "How much quiet do the two of you need?"

"About an hour if that's alright."

"That's more than alright. May we get you something to drink?"

"That would be great Sebby." Sebastian smiled before asking them all what they wanted before heading for the kitchen. While he was gone, Jeff apologized again for showing up unannounced but Blaine reassured them both it wasn't an issue. Jeff and Britt also explained that it wasn't so much about not wanting to spend time with their families; it was largely due to timing. After giving everyone their drinks, Sebastian sat back down next to Blaine. "Did I miss anything crucial?"

"Not really." Jeff replied. "But since I'm here, I might as well ask. You guys picked up your tuxes, correct?"

"We did. Actually a bunch of us went and picked them up together." Blaine replied. "Is it safe to presume Nick was with you?"

"He was and I talked with Trent who picked his up."

"Then you're covered as everyone else was with us." Sebastian told him. "Are all your lovely ladies ready Britt?"

"They are. I think you're all going to be impressed when you see them."

"I don't doubt that." Blaine told her. "Since you spoke with Trent, do you know when the rest of that crew is coming to town?"

"They're all coming in Friday evening."" Jeff replied. "And so you know, Flint and Brooke are bringing Aiden with them."

"That doesn't surprise us." Sebastian said. "Since they're going to be out here for the whole weekend I can't see them leaving their not even two month old baby with her parents."

"That's basically why, plus like Lexi and Cassie she's breastfeeding so she really didn't want to deal with everything else over the weekend. His parents are thrilled since it means they're going to get to see their Grandson again."

"All of those reasons make sense. Now Britt, where are you staying tomorrow night?"

"Santana is staying with me while Jeff's staying with Nick."

"Do we have to worry about you two sneaking off to see each other?" Blaine asked.

"No as Santana already threatened me if I tried to see her after we separate after saying good night tomorrow."

"She we even ask what she threatened?"

"Not unless you want to cringe."

"That's not nice as that affects Britt just as much." Sebastian said.

"No kidding." Jeff said with a laugh as Brittany relaxed against him. "We wouldn't want that, huh Britt?"

"Not one bit. I already told her it wasn't nice. But she said it got her point across. She also said she'd never really do it."

"I don't know about that." Sebastian said.

"My thoughts exactly." Jeff added.

"She wouldn't guys."

"We've seen her angry. I personally wouldn't put anything passed her."

"Sebby."

"Alright, but she might come up with something almost as hurtful." When Brittany only smiled, the guys all laughed. "Now, are Santana's parents coming?"

"They are. They are coming into town tomorrow night like most of the guys' parents."

"Just for our sanity, how many of the McKinley crew will be there?"

"Tina is coming as she's Mike's date, and Artie is coming."

"That's it?" Blaine asked.

"Yep, Quinn, Santana and Rachel are in the bridal party."

"True, I'm just a bit surprised."

"I thought about it, but I wasn't ever really close to the rest of them. Oh, I did invite Sam but he couldn't get off work since it's a holiday weekend.

"Amazing how the holiday weekend was so good for some, and so bad for others." Sebastian said. "When do the two of you leave for your honeymoon?"

"Late Sunday afternoon." Jeff replied. "We already arranged for late check-out so we'll get to make the most out of our room." Brittany then playfully swatted Jeff's arm. "Come now, it's not like they wouldn't do the same thing."

"He's right." Blaine reassured her. While they spoke, Brittany's phone rang so she excused herself and headed across the way. "Now, has Nick made his plane reservation yet?"

"He has. He timed it well since Santana has to go down to Miami for a few days so that's when he's going to head to Ohio."

"I'd rather go to Miami." Sebastian said.

"He would to considering how nervous he is. I mean, have you ever spent a lot of time around her Dad. He's intimidating when her Mom isn't around. Don't get me wrong, they love Nick, but….she's obviously Daddy's girl."

"That is why he's doing the right thing." Blaine said. "Speaking of asking, did you ask Britt's Dad?"

"Nope, but he'd basically given me his blessing a while back. I think that's one of the reasons he and Mrs. Pierce were so mortified by what happened. Also goes to show they know me better than her Grandparents do."

"How many times had you met them prior to that?" Sebastian asked.

"Only a few times, so they really didn't know me.

"Britt had a point though; if she was pregnant you two would've been more likely to elope than just get engaged."

"Exactly." Jeff had just answered when Brittany sat back down. "What is it?"

"We need to go."

"Why?"

"Megan said they've called over there twice and they've also called Nick and Santana."

"Maybe I should've served Long Islands and not just iced tea." Sebastian said.

"All this makes me thankful I'm working tomorrow." Jeff said. "I don't think I could take this all day."

"Be thankful they're staying at a hotel." Blaine told him.

"No kidding. Ready to go do this Britt?"

"As ready as I can be." He then got up off the couch as did Blaine and Sebastian. Once they did, Brittany walked over and gave each of them a hug and a kiss. "Thank you."

"It was honestly nothing." Sebastian told her. "Are you working at all tomorrow?"

"In the morning. Then the girls and I are going to get our nails done."

"Make the most of it."

"I'm going to try. We'll see you two tomorrow night."

"See you then."

While Jeff and Brittany could've easily seen themselves out, Blaine and Sebastian walked them to the door so that they could lock up after the fact. Once the door was closed, Blaine wrapped his arms around Sebastian. "Please tell me our parents aren't going to be like that."

"I'd like to, but I honestly don't know B. Are you still up for that bath?"

"Definitely." While they waited for the tub to fill, Blaine tried to find something for them to listen to that was rather calming. Once he found something, he got underdressed and headed for the bathroom. A smile crept to his face as he watched Sebastian making his way into the tub. "You know you could've told me it was ready." Blaine told him as he set up their docking station.

"I didn't want to rush you. But if I was in here too long alone I would've said something." Sebastian replied as Blaine hit play. "Jazz, excellent choice." Blaine smiled and made his way to the tub. "I hope you don't mind the bubbles.

"Of course not." Blaine said as he careful made his way into the tub. Once he was settled, he felt Sebastian's arms wrap around him. "This feels nice."

"I agree." While Sebastian spoke, Blaine leaned his head back against Sebastian's shoulder. "It was nice being able to get together with Michael and Dylan tonight. It's been too long."

"It certainly has, but it's not as if we all haven't tried. We've all just been really busy the last couple of months." Blaine said. "What do you think about what they mentioned?"

"I think it's a great idea. They'd make great parents. But I can see why their torn between their choices."

"Have you thought about it?"

"You mean in regards to us?" Blaine nodded. "I have. You?"

"I have. Have you thought about which path you want to take?"

"I most certainly have." Sebastian told him. "And while this might sound selfish to some, I'd like to use a surrogate when the time comes."

"Why would you think that would be selfish?"

"Because we could just as easily adopt."

"That's very true, but I feel the same way you do. I like the thought of a little you or me running around here."

"Something else to think about." Sebastian said. "Crazy how we have to think about these things while for a bulk of our friends it's just going to happen. Yet we're going to have to go through a ton of planning."

"Does that make you want kids any less?"

"No, since we'll be doing this together it will be completely worth it. And since we'll be going through all this, goes to show how much we actually want them."

"While this might seem strange to some, I want to wait a bit." Once those words came out of Blaine's mouth, Sebastian sighed. "You okay Bas?"

"Yes, as that's quite the relief to hear. While I would love to take the approach Jeff and Britt are taking, I'd like to be a bit more established in my career before we have kids. I'm not talking a huge wait, just a few years."

"That's fine with me as I'd like to do the same thing. It's one of those cases where Jeff and Britt have the advantage since Jeff's been at his job for a couple of years and well Britt's been working for Lexi since shortly after she came out here. They've found a comfortable routine; we'll still have to find one."

"But as usual, we'll figure it out." Sebastian then leaned down and kissed the top of Blaine's head. "Was it just me or did they feel nervous talking about it?"

"They were nervous. But as we reminded them, they had no reason to be. I can understand how it might be awkward, but it's not as though you and I hate kids. Talking to someone with a distinct dislike of child would've been a good reason to be nervous."

"That's very true. You notice that each time we've all gotten together, the guys as well as the girls really skirt the issue with us."

"Yep. I'm pretty sure Brittany's been the most up front which is refreshing." Blaine said. "But part of that comes from the fact she sees us around Coop and Lexi's kids the most."

"That's very true. It's part of the reason we both know they're going to make excellent parents as well."

When they arrived at the waterfront of Friday night, Brittany and Jeff were already there along with their families. Since Brittany was speaking with the coordinator, Jeff made all the appropriate introductions since all of the Grandparents were there. Jeff was just finishing up, when Nick and Santana came walking up. "You look exhausted." Blaine said to Nick.

"He only got up about an hour ago." Santana replied. "It's going to take a bit longer till he's fully awake."

"Long night last night?" Sebastian asked.

"Crazy night is more like it. Honestly, I can't wait to talk to my Dad. Some of the stuff I've witnessed is just plain crazy."

"Has it made you reconsider?"

"Not at all." Nick was answering when Brittany walked up and gave them each a hug. "You okay Britt?"

"I'm afraid my Grandparents are going to embarrass me."

"How so?" Jeff asked.

"Jeff."

"Okay, at least now I know which set you're referring to." Jeff then slid his arm around her waist. "Relax, it'll be fine. Think, once rehearsal is over we're going to go have dinner and then we can go home."

"Home is relative Jeff."

"I know that Santana. But she'll have peace and quiet."

"I'll make sure of that."

"Make sure of what?" Megan asked as she walked up to all of them along with Carly.

"Just that Britt has a peaceful night once we get home."

"Parents are a bit much, aren't they?"

"A bit. I now completely understand how Rachel felt." Brittany replied. "Speaking of." She then pointed towards the walkway where Rachel and Brody were along with Quinn and Hunter. "Where are the rest of the guys Jeff?"

"Parking." Jeff replied. "Beat sent a text. There was a slight delay picking Trent up at the train station but they are here." He then glanced down at his watch. "Even running slightly behind, they'll still be early."

"You all realize we're becoming pros at this already." Nick said.

"We know." Sebastian replied. "That just means we have no excuse for screwing up."

"Where's Stephanie?" Brittany asked as Dave and the rest of the guys approached.

"At Lincoln Center." Dave said while glancing at his watch. "She probably just finished warm-ups."

"She's going to be able to make it tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, that's already been taken care of. And Mike is currently waiting at Lincoln Center with tickets for the parents that have come in early. So all bases are covered."

"How was the train ride in Trent?" Blaine asked after Brittany gave him a hug.

"Annoying as the guy next to me was on his phone the entire time."

"Couldn't you change seats?" Thad asked.

"I tried, but there were none available and the guy just shrugged off being told to lower his voice. I hadn't planned on listening to music the entire ride, yet I did. Good thing I'm able to multi-task as I had some work to get done since I left work early today."

"Where is the infamous sister we've all heard about but never seen?" Beat asked.

"Amanda is over with my parents." Brittany replied as she pointed towards them. "I know some of you have met her before."

"Briefly. Is she still shy?" Thad asked.

"That would be a negative." Jeff replied. "She's clearly come out of her shell." Before they could get further into their conversation, Mrs. Sterling came walking over to them as the coordinator was ready to go since everyone was there.

"Have you guys told everyone who they're paired up with yet?" The coordinator asked after having Beat, Brody, and Hunter step off to the side since they were the ushers.

"We were just about to when my Mom came and got us." Jeff replied as Brittany leaned against him. The coordinator then watched as Brittany paired everyone up. While it was obvious Nick and Santana were together since they were the maid of honor and the best man, the rest was anyone's guess. Sebastian got paired up with Megan which really didn't surprise anyone. Blaine was paired up with Quinn. Carly was paired up with Dave, while Rachel was with Thad. And that left Trent to be paired up with Amanda.

"Now, Brittany was that in reverse order?"

"It was. My sister will be the first one down the aisle."

"Since that's the case, guys, you'll be doing the opposite. Jeff, you'll head to the archway first followed by Nick and so on. Do any of you need a replay of the list?" They all shook their heads. While the coordinator went to speak to the parents, Sebastian walked over to Megan.

"Where is Logan?"

"Picking Jacob up at the train station then getting him settled at his place."

"Will he be joining us?"

"They will be. He would've been here already if Jacob didn't have to catch a later train."

"Okay, just making sure everything was good. You know I'd kick his ass for you."

"I know and I appreciate that Seb. But Logan isn't in trouble; he's been good to me."

"I'm happy to hear that." Sebastian then gave her a kiss on the cheek."

As the two of them spoke, it was determined that Beat was going to be the one escorting Mrs. Sterling down the aisle. And that all the Grandparents would make their way down without an escort since there were four sets of them. Jeff and Brittany had really considered not having their Grandparents walk down, but after hearing from their own parents how much it would mean to them they both relented. That was one of the few things they were doing that was for someone other than themselves.

Once rehearsal got started, the guys had to control themselves as they were quickly getting bored since the coordinator was having an issue with how quickly the girls were walking. No matter how many times they promised they'd walk slower the next day she wasn't satisfied. By the time the girls were on their fifth trip down, the guys all started to sing, hoping the girls would take the hint and follow the music. Brittany's Mom quickly looked across at Jeff's Mom who had quite the smile on her face. The guys singing was exact what the girls needed to slow down.

When they lined up across from the guys, they all had a smile on their face. And once Santana took her spot, she couldn't help but giggle as the guys changed to a new song just for Brittany. As she made her way down with her Dad and her bouquet full of bows and ribbons from her shower she had a huge grin on her face. The fact that the guys had chosen the song Jeff had serenaded her with their first Valentine's Day was more than she could've asked for.

Just as Brittany reached Jeff, the coordinator remained quiet to let the guys finish, even she was surprised by what they'd done. Once the song ended, Brittany took ahold of Jeff's hand. Since they'd successfully made it down the aisle, the coordinator then proceeded to go through the ceremony with everyone. "Will the two of you be reciting standard vows or have you written your own?"

"We've written our own." Jeff replied, which didn't come to a shock to anyone since all of the weddings they'd all attended so far each couple had written their own vows. "While I'm certain you want to recite them from memory, I recommend jotting them done on notecards just in case. When you're caught up in the moment it's really easy to forget what you want to say." Jeff and Brittany both nodded, but didn't say anything as they'd both already done that on a recommendation from Lexi.

By the time they all headed back up the aisle, they saw Logan standing at the end of it along with Jacob. "I take that to mean Jeff is more than comfortable with things now." Trent said to no one in particular.

"He is." Blaine replied. "While it was a bit weird at first, the only thing he wants is for Megan to be happy and Logan makes her happy. Plus after talking to Logan about everything, he didn't plan on it. They were just friend and things began to change. It happens all the time. Look at Nick and Santana."

"Same could go for Hunter and Quinn." Sebastian added. "As well as Dave and Stephanie. None of us plan who we're going to fall for, it just happens."

"Like how Blaine enticed you the first time you saw him." Trent said.

"Exactly, but I'd already heard quite a bit about him before I met him since you all adore him."

"But you saw there was a good reason for it." Thad said.

"That it was. He most certainly was and still is the voice of a dream. Little did I know he was in such a cute package with those dark curls he tried so hard to hide and stunning hazel eyes." The awes coming from the girls caused Blaine to blush, so Sebastian slide his arm around him. "It's true B." Sebastian then gave him a kiss.

"Since that went so smoothly I'd say you're all good to go and I will see you all tomorrow." The coordinator told them.

"Thank." Jeff replied. "We will see you tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help this evening."

"The pleasure was mine. Little did I know I'd get an impromptu concert in the process."

"That's actually not surprising given this group." Santana told her. "They actually pulled a number together practically on the fly for Rachel's wedding when there was a music screw up."

"Impressive. That must have been a relief for you."

"It was." Rachel replied. "It's a moment we will never forget." When she answered, Rachel leaned back against Brody who was holding her. She then leant her head back and Brody met her with a kiss.

"I can only imagine. I'll see you all tomorrow. Have a good night."

Once she walked away, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling walked up to everyone. "Does that mean we're done?" Mr. Sterling asked.

"It does Dad." Jeff replied. "Timing couldn't be better as I'm hungry."

"Nice to know some things never change." Mrs. Sterling replied.

"No, they're still the same." Brittany replied. "Any mention of food and Jeff and Nick are both good to go." Brittany and Santana then looked at both of the guys who could only smile. "Nice to see you didn't deny it."

"How can we, everyone knows it's true." Jeff told her. "Now let's head to dinner."

Since they were having dinner at a restaurant not too far from the venue in Battery Park, most everyone decided to walk since it was a beautiful night and who could resist walking on the waterfront. "There is one thing I left out earlier B."

"And what was that?" Blaine asked.

"The other thought that came to mind the first time I saw you, but in mixed company, especially the sisters I wasn't going to repeat it."

"And that would be?"

"Sex on a stick. You ooze sex appeal Blaine Anderson."

"In your eyes."

"In plenty of others as well. But I might be a bit partial, though I thought that before we got together."

"Do you still think that?"

"Absolutely, it's a fact now and you prove it over and over again."

"The same could be said for you as well."

"You're too kind."

"It's true Sebastian; you ooze sex appeal without question."

"I think you're both delusional." Thad said as he walked up beside them.

"How long have you been listening?" Blaine asked.

"Since Seb here referred to you as sex on a stick. Personally I'm glad the two of you didn't get into anymore detail as my innocent ears might not have been able to handle it."

"Innocent my ass!" Sebastian replied. "Remember, B and I are around for most of those conversations we all have in regards to sex, we just stay away from specifics."

"It would've sounded good had the parents heard."

"Jeff's Dad would've started laughing hysterically." Blaine told him. "He knows us all too well to believe anything of that sort."

"B's right, if you think they would've believed that you're delusional."
