I don't own glee or the songs.
Sorry I haven't updated. The usual always happens. If you have any ideas please let me know.
I was almost asleep when I heard it. Kurt and I were almost asleep. Well I was. Kurt was watching Oz: The Great and Powerful and I tried to keep my eyes open. I heard a faint cough. Kurt looked at me and I looked at him then it came again.
"Is that the movie?" I asked.
"No."
I heard sniffles and then a cry.
"Papa!"
It was Liam. I got up and raced out of the room. Was he okay? What was going on with my baby? I walked into his room. He was sitting in his bed crying. I sit on his bed.
"What's the matter buddy?" I asked worriedly.
"My tummy hurt!" he said.
His tummy may have hurt but I could tell there was more. He kept sniffling and coughing. I felt his head. He was burning up. I had to help him. Liam hugged me tightly. He started to cry. I heard footsteps in the doorway.
"Is everything okay?" I heard Kurt asked.
"Liam is burning up. Can you go get the thermometer?"
Kurt was on his way out when…
"DADDY!"
Kurt ran out the room. Now what? I don't know if we could handle two sick children. We had to. Liam held on to my neck as I went down to the kitchen to get a thermometer. I saw Kurt come down with Penelope in his arms.
"Is she okay?" I asked.
Kurt shook his head. "She says her tummy hurts but she's sniffling and coughing."
I sighed heavily.
"Open up, Liam" I told him. Liam did and he stuck it under his tongue. Kurt took our back up one and had Penelope do the same. Penelope almost fell asleep on Kurt's shoulder. She was tired but I think her illness kept her up. Liam was just out of it. He just stared up at me. I felt so bad for my babies. Both thermometers beeped.
"99.9" Kurt said.
"99.9" I said.
I kissed his hot forehead. Kurt and I knew what would happen. We needed to stay up with them until they fell asleep. They wouldn't sleep unless that happened. Kurt and I sat down on the couch and held our babies. Kurt put Penelope near me while he got the cool compress. It was too quiet. When Kurt came back, he put the compress on Liam and Penelope.
After a while Penelope was asleep in Kurt's arms and Liam was awake in mine.
"What's the matter buddy?" Kurt asked. "Do you feel a little better?"
"A little" he replied.
Kurt and I smiled. We were happy he was somewhat better. We heard Penelope yawn. Her little eyes opened.
"Hey little princess" Kurt said.
"Are you feeling a little better?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess" Penelope said. "But I had a bad dream"
"About what?" I asked.
"The wicked witch" Penelope replied.
Kurt adjusted her on his lap.
"Oh she's not as bad. She has a reason for it all."
"What Daddy?" Liam asked.
Liam was getting out of his funk. He practically snapped out of it.
"You have to think about it. How did she get evil?" Kurt said.
Here we go. Kurt loved to talk about the Wizard of Oz. He was like the guru of it. He loved Wicked and our children loved Oz: The Great and Powerful. Kurt gave me Penelope and he went upstairs. He came back down in a witch's hat and our broom.
"Once there was a wicked witch" He sang.
"In the lovely land of Oz
And a wicked old, wicked old, wicked old witch that never ever was
She filled the folks in munchkin land
With terror and with dread
'Til one fine day from Kansas
A house fell on her head
And the coroner pronounced her dead
And through the town the joyous news went running
The joyous news that the wicked old witch
Was finally done in
Ding-dong! The witch is dead.
Which old witch?
Well, uh,.. The wicked witch!
Oh.
Ding-dong! The wicked witch is dead.
Oh yeah, happy day
Wake up you sleepy head,
Rub your eyes, and get out of that bed.
Wake up, the wicked witch is dead.
She's gone where the goblins go,
Below, below, below. Yo-ho
Let's open up and sing and ring those bells out.
Sing the news out.
Ding-dong, the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know the wicked old witch is dead!
Why everyone's glad,
She took such a crowning
Bein' hit by a house is even worse than drowning
Let 'em know the wicked old witch is dead!"
Liam and Penelope just stared at Kurt. Kurt had his arms wide open in a Ta-da motion.
"That was awesome!" Liam and Penelope both said.
I knew I needed to get in. I took crown that was in their play box. I put it on Liam's head. I took a light blanket and wrapped it around his shoulders.
"If I were King of the Forest, Not queen, not duke, not prince." I sang
"My regal robes of the forest, would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I'd command each thing, be it fish or fowl.
With a woof and a woof and a royal growl - woof.
As I'd click my heel, all the trees would kneel.
And the mountains bow and the bulls kowtow.
And the sparrow would take wing - If I - If I - were King!
Each rabbit would show respect to me.
The chipmunks genuflect to me.
Though my tail would lash, I would show compash
For every underling!
If I - If I - were King!
Just King!"
Liam smiled happily.
"Blaine, if you were king, you wouldn't be afraid of anything?" Kurt asked.
"Nobody!" I replied.
"How, Papa?" Penelope asked.
"Courage! What makes a King out of a slave?" I sang again.
"Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave?
Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk, in the misty mist or the dusky dusk?
What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder?
Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot?
What have they got that I ain't got?
Courage"
They all kept smiling. Kurt and I could tell it was working. Kurt grabbed a straw hat from the play box. He started to sing:
"I could while away the hours
Conferring with the flowers
Consulting with the rain
And my head I'll be scratching
While my thoughts were busy hatching
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel every riddle
For any indiv'ual
In trouble or in pain."
Kurt started twirling me around. Liam and Penelope tried to dance a little.
"Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I've never thunk before
And then I'll sit and think some more
I would not be just a nothing
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain.
Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'
To reason out the reason
For things I can't explain
Then perhaps I'll deserve
And be even worthy of you
If I only had a brain"
I saw Penelope yawn. Liam did too. We grabbed them and sat on the couch. They closed the eyes. It was time for our encore.
"Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh" I sang. Kurt then start to sing:
"Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I?"
So was this a cute chapter or what?
So does anyone have any ideas? Please could you help?
So do you like the Wizard of Oz chapter? Oh course Blaine had to sing about Courage!
Please review.
