Chapter 52

"Come on, Liam, just a little further!" Blaine encouraged. Liam got a determined look on his face, and started crawling closer, almost tripping over in his tangle of legs. "Come on... Get the stuffed Lion!" Liam made it there, and Blaine grinned, before dropping the toy into his son's hands. "Good boy!"

"He's not a dog, Blaine!" Kurt said from the couch, somewhat amused. Blaine shrugged.

"Well, he is on all fours, Kurt, so..." He chuckled at the look that Kurt sent him. "Alright, Alright. Hey, where's Megs gone?"

"I had to take her up for a nap. That's what the Doctor said," Kurt turned back to his script. "So, if you wake her up, I will tear out your vocal chords, and then we'll see where your career ends up."

"Okay, Okay!" Blaine picked Liam up and held him above his head. Liam beamed at him in a Kurt-esque way. Was that what Kurt thought when Meggie grinned at him? "Now, how about we try and get you crawling faster?" Blaine put Liam back down, gently taking the stuffed animal, currently un-named, and scooching back across the carpet. "Okay, Liam, can you crawl towards Dada?"

Liam steadied himself on his knees, and started crawling. Admittedly, it was quite slow, as he was only getting the hang of it, but Blaine felt proud, nonetheless. Liam saw the toy, and started to crawl towards Blaine again, his face scrunched in concentration. "Come on! Come on Liam!" It was hard to believe that Liam didn't roll his eyes like Kurt did, but of course, Liam looked back at the floor, watching his hands move. "That's it!"

And then the oddest thing happned.

"Woah, where are you going?" Blaine laughed. Kurt looked over the top of his script, and laughed as well.

"There's a good baby!" Kurt cooed, putting his script on the coffee table. Liam was crawling towards him. At Blaine's look, Kurt simply said, "What? You told him to crawl towards his Dada. Technically, he's spot on." Blaine rolled his eyes, and watched Kurt pick Liam up. "Clever baby!" Kurt kissed the tip of Liam's nose. "What a clever boy!"

"And I thought I went over the top with baby talk." Blaine said. Kurt glared at him. "Alright, fine. I think it's adorable when you speak baby talk." Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"Do I look like a baby?" He asked. Blaine shook his head, and Kurt turned back to Liam. "Sorry, Liam, your Daddy Blaine's being stupid today-"

"Hey!"

"Here, do you want your Lion toy?" Kurt sent a look at Blaine, who passed him the toy. "There." Liam rubbed the toy over his face, making both of his dad's laugh. "Do you like the way he smells? Yeah...I guess washing powder is a nice smell..."


"...And that piece goes where?" Blaine asked. Meggie squinted, studying the pieces. She shrugged. "Still, you've done well." Blaine grabbed the picture that was meant to be helping them make the puzzle. "So, I think that cat needs to be on the man's head..." He hand shot out and re-grabbed the piece.

"This one?" She asked.

"Try it." Blaine said. Meggie tried to push it into place determinedly. "Hold on, Hold on." He took the piece from her, and showed her. "Keep turning it around, Okay, and see if it will fit? If not, try another piece." He fit the piece into the puzzle. "But good work." She beamed. "Alright, so, we need to make the black cat claw at his foot...come on, you've seen The Aristocats..." She nodded, and picked up a piece with the right cat. Slowly, she placed it into place, getting it to it in smoothly. "Well Done! That's great!" She beamed.

"Almost done?"

"Almost." He looked at the picture. "Come on, we need to place the last two. We need Edgar strangling the last two cats." He turned the piece's the right way round, so that she could get a clue which one went where. Meggie took the one on the right hand side, and tried it on the wrong, then right side. Blaine saw the excitement build up in her eyes. "Come on Megs, you know where it goes!" She grabbed the last piece, and as it fitted in, completing the puzzle, he clapped her, making her giggle. "Wow, Megs! You're so smart!"

"I do it right?" Blaine nodded enthusiastically.

"Of course!" She squealed with excitement, and clapped her hands, as if saying "Yay Me!". "Come on, go get Dada Kurt, and we'll show him!" She nodded, and clambered up.

"Dada Kurt! Daddy Kurt!"


"...And then Dada Bwaine help me make another one!" Meggie exclaimed over dinner. Kurt smiled at her.

"Wow! How clever are you, Megs?" She giggled with pride, as Kurt and Blaine both shared a grin across the table. Finally, Kurt turned to the more important task on hand. "After your bath, Meg's, do you want one of us to read to you to help you sleep?" He beam disappeared slightly.

"Can't I stay up?" She asked. Kurt shook his head hesitantly. "Why?" Kurt winced, as he sensed a tantrum coming on.

"Megs, we need to make sure that you stop having Night Terrors..."

"But I don't!" She whined. "I want to stay up with you and Daddy Bwaine!" Blaine rubbed her shoulder blade lightly to comfort her.

"Megs, it's Okay." He turned to Kurt. "Maybe she could stay up a little while longer?" Kurt stared at him. "What? It's been four months, Kurt!" Kurt rolled his eyes. Meggie looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Pwease?" Kurt sighed.

"Fine. But, only for a little while longer." Meggie beamed and squealed with excitement. "Only a little while!"


"Dada?" Kurt stopped humming to Liam under his breath and turned to see Meggie standing in the doorway.

"Megs, aren't you and Dada Blaine watching something?" She nodded.

"Sweeping Beauty, but Daddy Bwaine fell asleep." Kurt couldn't help but chuckle at that. "Dada, can I help you sing to Wiam?" Kurt smiled.

"Of course." Meggie came over to Liam's cot, and Kurt bent down so that Meggie and Kurt were on the same level. "What do you think we should sing?" She smiled prettily at him.

"You chose. I don't know many songs." Kurt smiled.

"You probably don't know a lot of the ones I know." She shrugged.

"I keep up if I can." Kurt smiled.

"Alrighty, then."


"I'm awake!" Blaine yelled. He rubbed his eyes, and realised that Sleeping Beauty was still playing. He looked down the opposite side of the sofa, and almost jumped out of shock when he saw his daughter wasn't there anymore. "Megs? Megs?" No answer. Clambering off the sofa tiredly, he checked under the coffee table, just in case, before looking around, as if his daughter might have reappeared out of nowhere.

It occured to him that maybe she had gone up to bed or something. His heart rate starting to slow down, he finally managed to hear his daughter and husband's voice floating from upstairs. Grinning slightly, he went upstairs.


"...Wow, Megs, that was really beautiful," Kurt complimented. And it had been, for a three year old with no experience. She blushed bright red. "Well, I think it's time that you went to sleep, madam." She pouted.

"But Daddy, I'm not-" She yawned. "-Tired." Kurt laughed.

"Right. But little princess' need their beauty sleep." Meggie nodded, and let Kurt lift her into his arms, too tired to protest. As Kurt walked out of Liam's room, struggling to shut the door behind him, as he had his arms full, he spotted Blaine grinning from outside the door. Kurt rose an eyebrow.

"What? I wanted to hear her sing." Kurt smiled, and nodded, as Blaine went to shut the door over for Kurt. "I see someone's tired."

"Which one, me or her?" Blaine raised and eyebrow.

"Hmm...I was talking about Meggie, but now you mentioned it...yeah, you look a little tired."

"That's what happens when you have a job and two children...and a husband who acts like one." Blaine pretended to look offended, but grinned goofily, nonetheless.

"Dada?" Blaine looked at Meggie, who was blinking sleepily at him. "Can I have hug?" Blaine grinned.

"Of course you can." Kurt passed Meggie to Blaine, and watched as Meggie cuddled into Blaine, yawning and snuggling into his shirt. "I think someone stayed up way past her bedtime."

"And who's fault was that?" Kurt commented, opening the door to Meggie's room, Blaine close behind. "You fell asleep watching Sleeping Beauty." Blaine smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry. I was actually trying to pretend to be sleepy, but..."

"You actually fell asleep? Blaine, that is the weirdest excuse I've ever heard," Kurt chuckled slightly.

"But you think it's adorable." Blaine said cockily. Kurt blushed as Blaine tucked Meggie underneath her duvet.

SO...

Thank You for all the responses, I will get back on that!

And...Please, I want to know for anyone watching Glee TONIGHT...if Blaine is truly a Junior. That's all. Please. If so, I might just cry.

Review as always!
