"Are you going to be alright Katie?" Everett asked, leaning across the front seats of his car to talk to her through the window.

"I'll be fine, my Dads usually wait up," said Katie, flashing him a smile. "Thanks for a fun night."

"Thanks for helping out."

"Anytime," said Katie. "But I… I'd better get going…"

"I'll wait here till you get to the door," he said sweetly. "Make sure you get in safe."

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow," she said and started up the path to her family's front door. On the doorstep, she turned back and gave Everett a little wave. Smiling, he waved back before slowly driving away up the street.

"I'm ho…" Katie started to call as she walked in, stopping at the sight of her fathers. A soft smile formed on her lips as she approached the pair, lying on the lounge together, both having fallen asleep who knows how long ago. As quietly as she could, Katie crept to get a blanket and gently lay it over the two of them, kissing both of their foreheads before heading off to bed herself.

"Morning sleepyheads," Katie said in a whisper as she set two steaming mugs down on the coffee table.

"Wha…" Kurt said, his eyes blinking open as he shot straight up into a sitting position. "Katie?"

"Daddy! Daddy!" said Katie, her voice urgent though soft as not to wake her Dad. She set a firm hand against Kurt's chest. "It's ok, Daddy, it's ok. I'm here."

Kurt blinked several times before his blue eyes locked onto his daughter's. "Let's let your Dad sleep a little while longer shall we?" he asked, edging to the end of the lounge and slowly rising to his feet. He took her hand and led her into the kitchen, snatching his mug from the table on the way. "Come on honey. I want to hear all about last night!"

"Daddy! You're just like a kid on Christmas!" Katie said, laughing as they sat at the kitchen table.

"You know me honey," he said, giving her a gentle, playful nudge. "So, how was it? How'd the baby sitting go?"

"Good," Katie said after a while. "I think Everett felt lucky I was there though," she said, laughing at the memory.

"Oh?" asked Kurt with a raised eyebrow.

"We were baby sitting a little three year old girl from the church he goes to," said Katie. "She loves princesses, and to his credit, Everett's studied up a little, but she wanted a 'real' princess, which resulted in my dressing up and playing one. Complete with dressing her up and then a tea party with the tree of us and Everett playing Prince Charming."

Kurt laughed. "He always seemed quite charming, that Everett," he said thoughtfully.

"Oh but he is. He's so sweet and kind, and…It's like it's too good to be true," said Katie, trailing off as she allowed her head to fall into her cupped palms.

"I thought there might've been something going on," said Blaine and Katie and Kurt looked up, laughing at the sight of him.

"What?" he asked defensively. "What's so funny?"

"Dad, you can tell you haven't done your gel yet," Katie said honestly.

"But it's cute," said Kurt with a small smile. "Come here, let me fix it up a little." Blaine came forward and kissed Kurt's cheek as he quickly combed the black hair with his hand.

"That's a little better," said Katie. "But you still need the gel."

"Gel is my best friend," Blaine said with a playful smile.

"Hey!" Kurt said.

"You're my love, my one and only love" said Blaine, backtracking to kiss Kurt's lips. "Isn't that better?"

"Oi!" said Katie, unable to resist the chance to join in on the playfulness.

"And you my darling," said Blaine, hugging her from behind and leaning forward to whisper in her ear, "are my little princess, and you always will be. I love you," he said. "Both of you, now and forever."

"Daddy," said Katie, leaning in the doorway of his office.

"Yeah Princess?" Kurt asked, looking up from his computer at her. "I meant to ask you something before, but Dad came in and then I got distracted and I forgot."

"What is it sweetie?" Kurt asked moving over to the lounge along the opposite wall and motioning for her to join him, which she did.

"What should I do?" she asked quietly.

"About what?"

"Everett," said Katie. "I mean… I want to tell him, but…"

"Sweetie, why wouldn't you?" Kurt asked. "You should Katie, if that's what you want. Besides, isn't it better to have our feelings out in the open rather than hiding them away?"

"I suppose so. You know what, I'll do it," she said, getting up and starting to leave. But she paused at the doorway and looked back at him. "Thanks Daddy."

"Anytime Princess," he said, smiling at her.
