Chapter 36

"Name?" Kurt sighed. Everytime he and Blaine saw Maddie, she'd request the name of the baby. And so far, in the month since they'd spoken about it, they hadn't chosen one. "Don't tell me. Let me guess; no name yet?"

"Well, we don't know what to name him." Blaine argued. "I mean, we're thinking of names, but have so far got no clue."

"Well, we're just looking for the right name." Kurt said. "I mean, we don't want anything tacky, but we don't want anything too weird."

"You've been saying that for weeks." Sam said. "Seriously, it can't be that tricky." Blaine glared at her.

"Yeah, but you see, sister of mine, this is our kid, OK? If we name him something stupid, he will get picked on. We want to name him something that's not going to make him cringe whenever he hears it." Sam raised her hands in defence.

"OK, OK! Fine, maybe it's not all that easy!" Blaine sat back, satisfied. "Anyway, what have you been doing if you haven't been talking names. But don't tell me if it's related to sex." Kurt rolled his eyes.

"No, Sam. It's because we're tired from working, and looking after Megan, and cooking, and cleaning, and... stuff." Kurt said. He gave a sigh that was drawn out. "If only someone tells you how to fit a life into all that mess."

"Wouldn't that mess really be your life?" Sam asked. Kurt shrugged.

"I dunno. I mean, yes, these children, they're our life. But... We don't really go out more. You know, enjoy ourselves." Blaine said. He gave a sigh and threw his head back on the sofa.

"You know, if you two want to enjoy yourselves for a night or two, Sam and I would love to do it." Maddie offered.

"Really?" Kurt checked. They both nodded.

"Yeah. You guys deserve to go out." Sam said. "Anyway, I'm sure that Meggie won't be too much trouble to look after." Blaine tried to bite back a smile. Yes, Meggie was a good baby, but that didn't necessarily mean she didn't have Bed-time troubles. "What?"

"Nothing," Blaine said quickly. Then, he grinned. "How easy do you two think it is to raise a baby?"

"Well, like I said, it can't be too difficult. I mean, you just have to hold them, and feed them and what-have-you." Kurt bit back a smirk.

"Well, how about you and Maddie look after Meggie for one whole day?" Blaine asked. Sam rose her eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Kurt and I bet that you won't last a day - as in twenty four hours - with her."

"And if we win?" Maddie asked, her eyes suddenly devious.

"If you girls win, then, fine, we're wrong. And if you want anything, we'll give you it." Kurt shot a nervous glance at Blaine. "But if we win, then we want you to pay for our dinner."

"So, what will you two be doing if we're with Meggie?" Maddie asked.

"We'll think of names," Kurt said. "Maybe go out for a walk, you never know." Both girls looked at each other, communicating with their eyes. Blaine sometimes thought to himself that they were pretty much perfect for each other in their mischiefness alone. He certainly wouldn't put it past them. They both looked at Kurt and Blaine, and nodded.

"You're on." Sam said.

"Kurt, why are you feeding her fish?" Blaine asked. They were waiting for Maddie and Sam to come and pick her up. Kurt blinked, looking like a deer caught in headlights. "You know the last time she had that she practically puked all fluids in her body out, right?" Kurt nodded. "Then, why-?"

"Because she'll throw up when she's with Maddie and Sam." Kurt said. "And, Blaine, I really like getting free meals at restaurants."

"But, Kurt, is that seriously why you want to make our baby sick?" Blaine asked, although he agreed with Kurt on the freem meal part. Kurt looked down guiltily.

"W-Well, of course not..." Kurt sighed. "I just really want them to know how difficult it is."

"I'm sure they'll realise by tomorrow morning." Blaine said. He gently took the bowel of so far untouched fish, and went over to the bin to get rid of it. Nothing smelt quite as bad as off fish. "Although, we may be able to give the girls just a few tips to "help"..." Kurt picked Meggie up, rocking her back and forth.

"Like?" Kurt asked.

"Like telling them that she really likes being sent to bed, that she loves to sleep." Blaine said. "And, for a quiet baby, she kicks up quite a storm for going to bed."

As soon as Sam and Maddie had come to pick Meggie and her stuff up, the couple dissolved into giggles.

"How long do you think it'll be until they phone up and ask 'What the Hell?'" Blaine asked.

"I'd say some point tonight." Kurt answered, as they both collapsed on the sofa. "I mean, I feel bad, waking her up early so that she'd be cranky later, and then telling Maddie and Sam not to let her sleep until ten o' clock tonight, or she won't let them sleep tomorrow..."

"But, think about it, Kurt... We're getting a free dinner out of it!"

Meggie felt tired. She rubbed her eyes, and whined a little. Normally, Daddy Kurt and Daddy Blaine let her sleep late. So why was she up about an hour or so after she was put to bed (at least, it felt like that)?

She shut her eyes, trying to snuggle up into the unknown seat. She felt a firm tapping, just enough to make her eyes open, on her legs. Why was Auntie Sam waking her up?

"Why?" She asked. Sam sighed.

"Because you won't sleep tonight, Megs." Yes she would! She was exhausted! "Just wait until bedtime."

When was bedtime? Was it when they got out of the car? Or when the sky was dark? When?

"OK, we need to sort this out Kurt." Kurt nodded. He reached for the nearby baby book, and moved up on the couch, so that Blaine could sit next to him. As soon as Blaine had sat down, Kurt cuddled into him.

"So, I've been bookmarking several names," Kurt said, flipping through the book. "And then I narrowed them down to the few that I think are the best..."

"Not to forget that I'm still rooting for Harry." Blaine stated. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Yes. OK, then, Blaine." Kurt cleared his throat. "In the end, I've narrowed it down to Ethan, Adam, and Liam." Blaine blinked.

"I-I quite like Liam," Blaine said. "What did it mean again?"

"Strong-Willed Warrior," Kurt said immediately. "What?" He asked when Blaine stared at him. "I memorised the meanings, just in case."

"Well, I quite like Liam. Have you ever heard of "Liam's Got a Phone Call"?" Blaine asked.

"What?" Kurt asked, staring at him vacantly.

"Liam's got a phone call?" Blaine tried. "Team Starkid? A Very Potter Musical?"

"Is this one of your nerd moments, Blaine?" Kurt asked. "Because I'm pretty sure that I've never heard of any of them." Blaine sighed.

"Right, Fine, OK. But, apart from that, I love the name Liam." Kurt nodded.

"It does sound kind of nice," Kurt admitted. "And it's not really weird, so he won't get picked on." Blaine nodded.

"So?" Kurt bit back a laugh.

"What happened to Harry?" Blaine blinked, before grinning.

"OK, fine, we've found a better name, I admit." Blaine said, waving it off. "Now, what can we do?"

Kurt and Blaine smirked as Sam and Maddie looked at them, almost confused.

"How... How on bloody earth do you guys do it?" She asked. Kurt and Blaine caught each other's eyes.

"Just... Well, you know... people who are meant to be parents just know." Kurt stated.

"But, what I don't understand is why you told us all that crap..." Sam said.

"What we don't understand is that you believed it." Blaine said evenly. Sam and Maddie both went red.

"Well, we're not really experienced, are we?" Maddie said. "And you told us that she was a good toddler!"

"Well," Blaine said. "We really wanted that free dinner, so, there."

"That's cheating," Sam said.

"No, it's not," Blaine said. "It's lying to get what we want."

"Cheating."

"Lying."

"It's still Cheating."

"No, it's just lying." Kurt and Maddie sighed at the same time.

"Blaine, you are so immature around Sam," Kurt said. Sam grinned.

"Yeah, Blaine," She said. "I'm a really bad influence on you. Maybe we shouldn't see each other any more." Blaine grinned, and leaned over to tickle her. Kurt and Maddie shared a look.

"How did I marry someone so immature?" Kurt asked.

"How did I marry someone so immature?" Maddie repeated. "I mean, come on, there must be some sort of gene that only Andersons carry, that make them unbelieveably immature." Kurt looked at Blaine, who was now laughing as he and Sam pretended to punch each other.

"You know what, I actually think you're right."

Sorry if they seem really OOC, I just wanted to post this chapter up quick.

Sorry about the late update. My nan's just got out of hospital (she had blood clots on her lungs) and on Monday until Wednesday, I'm at my grandparents (again, I did it last week), and then I've just got back from a three night sleepover at my friends, last week, it was my sisters birthday (Glee was amazing!). So, yeah, I've been busy.

Review!
