Chapter 50: All of Four Years Old

March – Sophomore Year – Spring – Age 20

"I can't believe my baby is four years old," Finn said excitedly. Burt and Carol had driven up to their house to stay for the weekend to celebrate Charlotte's birthday.

"Time sure does fly kid," Burt commented. "You gotta hold on to these times. They won't last forever."

"I feel like it was just yesterday that she was born," Finn said.

"I know," Kurt agreed. They flew home yesterday from New York for Spring Break. He and Dave drove up with Carol and Burt.

"Are you sure you guys are okay with the air mattresses? You can always switch to the pull out couch."

"Don't worry about it," Kurt assured him.

"The air mattresse should be fine," Dave said. "This is a nice place Finn. Much better than our apartment."

"They do give us some good digs," Finn replied. "I'll be sad to leave here when we graduate, but it'll be good to get a more permanent house that we can really make ours."

"Am I allowed to help decorate?" Kurt asked.

"To an extent," Finn hedged Santana would kill him if Kurt took over the process.

"I can deal with that," Kurt agreed. He got up and went to join Santana in the kitchen.

"How many people are coming tomorrow?" Dave asked.

"She had a few kids she pals around with at the day care," Finn said. "The ladies gave out five invites and our friends Amanda and John are coming over."

"And who are they again?"

"John's in a lot of Tana's classes, and secretly loves Char," Finn explained. "And Amanda is in some of my classes and is our baby sitter. Santana is trying to get them together."

"She can be sneaky like that," Dave agreed.

"Yeah, but that's why I love her."

They party was quite a success. Charlotte's five little friends came over with their parents. John and Amanda made balloon animals and face painted. They had a few cute activities for the kids to do and food and music for the parents. Charlotte got a few new activities, toys, and clothes. She even received cards from the glee kids, some McKinnley staff and the ladies from the church.

All of the activity knocked Charlotte out by eight. But the adults stayed up and ended up watching a Harry Potter movie. It was a little tradition. When they were all together, they watched the next movie; they were on the fourth movie. Dave and Santana were the Harry Potter obsessed duo, but they still enjoyed the movie none-the-less. Moments like this made Finn really appreciate how awesome his little family really was. They were there for each other through thick and thin, and they all were family by choice.
