"Do you have the bags packed?" Blaine whispered, tiptoeing into Sophie's bedroom.
"I've got Sophie's packed and the twins are half packed. I'm waiting on another load of laundry." Kurt whispered back, tucking Sophie's packed bag into the top of her closet. "Blaine?"
"Yeah?"
"The kids are at school. Why are we whispering?"
"Ohhhh. I guess I'm just so used to talking about it to where they can't hear." Blaine gave Kurt a sheepish smile. "Are you excited?"
"So excited!" Kurt beamed, walking to Blaine and kissing him square on the lips. "This was such a good idea."
"I know." Blaine grinned, sliding his arms around Kurt's thin waist. "I'm just glad we were both able to get off of work to actually follow through with it."
"I can't wait to see their faces when they figure out where we're going." Kurt let out a content sigh and then bit his lip. "But I'm a little worried about taking them on a plane. You know they've never flown before."
"They'll be fine." Blaine promised him. "They're old enough to fly. Sophie's six, the twins are eight."
"Yeah…" Kurt didn't' look convinced.
"And we'll be there to hold their hands." Blaine kissed his cheek as the dryer began to beep.
Kurt kissed him quickly before going to get the clean clothes. "You can help me, you know?"
"Does that mean sex on the washer?"
"No. It literally means you can help me fold clothes."
"Eurgh. Isn't that why I married you? So I wouldn't have to do that stuff?"
"Blaine… dear… you can fold all of them." Kurt said, smiling sweetly.
"Aw drats! I take it back! I take it back!" Blaine cried dramatically, sounding just like Zachy.
"My God. I can't believe I willingly let you bring a mini Blaine into this world." Kurt sighed, making his way into the laundry room and opening the dryer.
Blaine pulled up a clothing table and set it between them, beginning to fold the kids' clothes as Kurt set them on the table. "So the plan is to pick them up from the bus stop and head to the airport from there?"
"Yeah. We'll stop and get some food on the way since I'm sure they'll be hungry." Kurt nodded. "You're sure the rental car is reserved in Florida?"
"Yes, Kurt. I'm sure. For the fifth time." Blaine laughed. "You don't trust me very much."
"Yes well you forgot Nick at David's two years ago."
"Oh my God. Are you ever going to let it go?" Blaine groaned.
"Nope." Kurt sang, closing the dryer and helping Blaine fold the remaining clothes.
"It had been a long day." Blaine said weakly.
"I remember you making that same argument two years ago." Kurt rolled his eyes. "Come and help me pack these so we can get our stuff packed?"
"Only if you quit harassing me."
"You forgot your child."
"Yes well I didn't forget to get the rental car." Blaine scoffed, edging out of the room. "I'll be there in a minute to help you pack their clothes."
"BLAINE!"
"I'm sorry! I was busy!"
"Blaine…"
"I'm doing it now. I swear!"
…
"But why are we at the air-o-port?" Sophie asked as Blaine lifted her out of the back seat.
"Yeah. Daddy said we were going to get dinner." Zachy added as Kurt grabbed his hand.
"But we did get dinner, baby." Kurt said, reaching for Nicky's hand.
"Daddy, I don't need to hold your hand." Nick scoffed.
"Okay, meanie." Kurt made a face at him as they walked towards the crowd. One person walked between Kurt and Nick, and Nick scurried back to Kurt, holding out his hand. "Uh huh. Daddy knows best, huh?"
Nick grunted but squeezed his father's hand, walking close to him. Kurt stepped aside with the twins, waiting for Blaine and Sophie to catch up.
"Got the tickets?" Blaine asked.
"Blaine…"
"Just kidding." Blaine grinned, fishing the tickets out of his blazer pocket.
"Tickets to what?" Nick asked.
"We're going to ride on an airplane!"
Nick's eyes widened—but not in delight, in horror. "What?"
"It'll be fun."
"Can I stay here?" Nick asked.
"I think it'll be cool!" Zach chirped.
Kurt let go of Zach's hand and knelt by Nick. "Baby, it's just like a car."
"But in the air." Nick whimpered.
Kurt glanced up at Blaine, clearly saying, I told you so.
Maybe surprising the kids hadn't been the best way to go about this.
Blaine knelt also, ruffling Nick's hair. "It's going to be just fine, Nicky. It'll be over before you know it and when it is, you're going to be soooo excited to see where we're going."
"I don't wanna." Nick's lip began to tremble.
"You've got to be a big boy, honey. We have to get on the plane in just a few minutes." Kurt said gently as Sophie and Zachy giggled together about some random person's weird hat.
"I'm scared!" Nick argued. "I don't want to go on the plane. They're loud and scary!"
"Nick, sweetie… we have to go." Blaine sighed, lifting his chin so Nick was looking at him. "But me and daddy will right with you the whole time. We would never let anything bad happen to you."
"You can't h-help it in a plane!"
Blaine handed Kurt the tickets and then scooped Nick into his arms, whispering soothingly in his ear and rubbing his back. "It's okay to be nervous but you're going to have to conquer that fear."
Nick sniffled, burying his face in Blaine's neck.
"It's okay, it's okay. Take a deep breath."
Nick raised his head up, taking a deep breath in and slowly letting it out.
"Better?" Blaine asked, brushing some of his wavy hair back.
"No." Nick sniffled again. "C-Can you sit by me?"
"Yes, I can." Blaine kissed his cheek. "I'll even hold your hand until we get there if you want."
Nick nodded, nuzzling Blaine.
Kurt smiled, looking positively giddy. "Okay, babies. We have to go through security and do a few things and then we'll get to get on the plane and go to—."
Blaine slapped his hand over Kurt's mouth, eyes wide. "To a very fun place."
"Whoops." Kurt cringed. "Sorry! I almost let it slip!"
…
"I did it! I did it! I did it!" Nicky cheered as they ran up to the rental car. This was the same thing he had been saying (saying, cheering, singing, screaming—he'd covered all the bases) for the last forty minutes since getting off of the plane.
"Yes, honey, you did." Kurt said, handing a sleeping Sophie to Blaine and opening the car door.
"I did it! I did it!"
"Be quiet." Zach whined.
"Aw, you guys are no fun." Nick pouted.
"Sophie, wake up." Blaine whispered, shaking little Sophie after she was buckled in the middle seat in the back of their rental car.
Sophie whimpered, waving him away. "No, Daddy."
"Yes, baby." Blaine laughed, poking her until she had sat up, fully awake.
"Nick, quit dancing so I can buckle you in." Kurt grunted from the other side, trying to wrestle Nick into the car. "How do you have so much energy? Even after being so anxious earlier?"
"Grandma says it's 'cause I'm a growing boy." Nick giggled, raising his arms so Kurt could buckle the seat belt.
Blaine crawled out and hoisted Zach up into the car as well.
"Now it is very important that you all three stay awake!" Kurt said excitedly as he got into the passenger seat of the car.
"Daddy, why do you have a camera?" Zach asked.
"I just want to take a picture of you three on your first trip to Florida! Can I have big smiles?" Kurt asked as Blaine got into the driver seat and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Where are we going, Daddy?" Sophie asked after Kurt had snapped a quick picture of the kids squished together, grinning up at the camera.
"You'll find out soon enough." Kurt said, looking at Blaine giddily. "How long from here?"
"Five minutes." Blaine grinned. "Zachy, if you could go one place in the world, where would it be?"
"I dunno." Zach shrugged.
"Nicky?"
"To an ice cream truck."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "What about you, Sophie baby?"
"To a castle!"
Blaine's grin grew and he quickly elbowed Kurt and coughed, "Camera!"
Kurt turned the recorder on, putting it on all three of the kids.
"Hey, look at that sign up there! What does it say?" Kurt asked.
"WELCOME TO DISNEY WORLD!" Zach shrieked, undoing his seatbelt and pressing his nose to the window as Sophie let out a loud shriek.
"DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY!" Nick screamed, dancing in his seat.
"DISNEY! DISNEY!" Sophie kicked her legs out gleefully.
Kurt laughed, still filming. "Are you guys happy?"
"I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY IN MY LIFE!" Sophie said, beginning to cry.
"Awww, baby!" Kurt said.
"THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!" Zachy squealed, bending down and pressing a kiss to Sophie's cheek.
"WE LOVE DISNEY WORLD!"
"Success." Blaine said, lifting his hand for Kurt to high-five.
"Success." Kurt beamed.
