2. Cooper Anderson Babysitter Extraordinaire:
"Girls, we have something we need to tell you." Blaine stated, causing his three children to look up at him and Kurt with big, assuming eyes.
"You guys are gonna have another baby!?" Alex shouted, jumping up and clapping her hands. "Oh my God let's call it Roger after the alien on American Dad!"
Blaine frowned in confusion and was about to protest when his oldest daughter, Jess chimed in. "Yes! Brilliant! Then Grimes won't be the only one with a stupid name in this family!"
"Hey! It's not my fault those two," Grimes cast an accusing glare at Kurt and Blaine, "Asked Sugar Motta to pick my name."
"Girls!" Kurt snapped, regaining their attention. "First of all, Grimes, we already told Sugar she could pick your name and it's actually not all bad. At least it's original." Grimes just huffed indignantly. "And second of all, me and Blaine are not having another baby. As if we could deal with you three and an infant in the house."
Blaine grinned. "And if we were having another baby, we would not call him Roger after the alien on 'American Dad'!" Alex sat down, clearly disappointed.
"What did you wanna tell us then?" She asked.
"Well… as you all know mine and Blaine's romantic weekend away from you lot was not only a complete disaster, it also ended in Grimes having a broken arm." Kurt reminded them, causing the three to grin at the memory of the 'best house party ever'. "So, we've decided that this time, instead of us two going away, you lot are going to instead!"
"I want to go to Las Vegas!" Jess shouted. "We can go to all the casino's with the fake ID's that Uncle Puck gave us-"
"The fake what!?" Blaine shouted.
"And walk in the streets and sing like you guys used to with your Glee Club!" Jess continued, completely ignoring her father.
"Nu-uh! I wanna go to London or something. There are so many places I wanna visit there… the London Eye, Camden Market, The Tower of London. We can go to Vegas anytime… London is where it's at!" Alex said, her eyes lighting up at the possibility of going to her favourite city.
"I think it would be quite cool to go to The Lima Bean." Grimes stated simply. "They do great coffee."
"Grimes you know that's practically down the road, right?" Jess informed her.
"Yup."
Her two siblings just shook their heads. Blaine and Kurt, who were looking quite exasperated at this point, just rolled their eyes and sighed. "If you three would listen to us for 2 minutes, then maybe you would understand that you're not going on holiday." Blaine told them, rubbing his temples.
"Well then what's happening?"
Kurt looked at Blaine and grinned. "Well… Blaine and I thought what better way to get you out of the house then to send you to stay with…"
"Uncle Cooper!" Blaine finished for him.
The girls all groaned in misery. "Cooper!?" Alex protested. "You can't send us to stay with Cooper… he'll try and teach us to act again. I don't even wanna be an actress!"
"I asked if I could watch 'Modern Family' one night and he spent half an hour explaining that if I wanted him to do something, I had to point my finger to show I was serious! By the time he was finished explaining, the show was over!" Jess cried, folding her arms. "He's crazy!"
Kurt and Blaine sniggered at the girls stories about Cooper. "That sure sounds like my brother to me." Blaine laughed. "Look, as much as Cooper seems like a nutjob, he loves you guys, okay? And you guys will have a great weekend with him!"
Alex and Jess let out a noise of frustration as they slumped back onto the couch. It was silent for a few minutes before Grimes spoke up in confusion. "Is Cooper the Irish friend of yours?"
Blaine sighed. "No, Grimes, that's Rory. Cooper is my brother, remember? The actor… we see him every Christmas and Thanksgiving… he always forgets your birthday's so he gives you a card basically every month…?"
"Oh! Right!" Grimes cried. "I remember now." The silence returned for a couple of minutes before Grimes leaned across to whisper in Alex's ear. "He's the one with the mohawk, right?" Alex sighed. "Right?"
PAGEBREAK
The drive to Cooper's house was silent, except for the occasional sigh and huff from the three girls in the back seat. The triplets had come up with every excuse in the book to get out of staying with Cooper for the weekend but it seemed Kurt and Blaine were way too used to their tricks by now. Grimes even pretended to of caught bird flu at one point, and swears it would've worked if the other two had just played along. But soon it wasn't long before they pulled up outside Cooper's swanky bachelor pad, and the car came to an abrupt halt.
"Are you really gonna leave us here?" Jess complained, trying one last time to get out of the situation.
"Yup." Blaine told her as he stepped out of the car. "It's only for four days."
At that exact moment Cooper's front door suddenly swung open to reveal the man himself, dressed in jeans and a grey t-shirt. "There's my favourite little brother!" He cried, grabbing Blaine by wrists and pulling him into a crushing hug.
"I'm your only brother, Coop." Blaine mumbled, trying to release himself from his brother's arms.
"And how's my favourite brother-in-law!?" Cooper cried again when he saw Kurt step out from the car.
"Good thanks I-" Kurt was cut off by Cooper jumping round to hug him too.
The three girls reluctantly started to get their bags out of the car, praying that somehow Cooper wouldn't realise they were there. "The munchkins!" The older man yelled. "You three must be at least 14 years old now, right!?"
"We're 16, Uncle Cooper, you sent us a card…remember?" Alex reminded him, a little offended at being mistaken for a 14 year old.
"No way! When I was 16 I already had an acting career in the bag! How are you doing at the techniques I showed you? Have you been offered a role on a world-wide commercial yet?" Cooper gushed.
"Well… no. Cooper, we don't want to be actor-"
"I guess I was a few years older than you when I did mine. You've got time! I won't give up hope!" He cried as he gathered the teens bags together and began lugging them into the house. "I'll take good care of them, I promise!" He called out to Kurt and Blaine, who stood watching his interaction with their children with an amused expression.
"Dad?" Grimes begged Blaine. "Please."
Blaine just smiled. "Have a good weekend, girls." He said, climbing back into the car with Kurt, leaving the siblings standing in front of Cooper's house, an exasperated look on their faces.
"Don't just stand there!" Cooper yelled from inside. "There's master classes to be taught!"
"Kill me now." Jess muttered to herself as the three slowly walked towards their fate.
PAGEBREAK
"Do you think we should of let them stay with Finn and Rachel?" Kurt asked as he and Blaine sped back home.
Blaine glanced at him. "Maybe. But I had to put up with him for years, it's someone elses turn." He grinned.
Kurt smiled back. "You're evil."
Blaine parked the car in the driveway to their house and looked at his husband. "Kurt. We have the entire house to ourselves for four days. Four days."
Kurt seemed to think about it for a minute. "What are we still doing in the car?" He grinned.
The two scrambled out of the vehicle quickly and Blaine locked it, before they made their way up the concrete drive to the front door. Once they were inside Blaine pressed Kurt against the wall and slowly kissed him, running his hands up and down the latter's back. Kurt whined and slowly began kissing down Blaine's jawline and onto his neck before Blaine spoke. "Baby." He breathed.
"Uh-huh?" Was the only reply he got as Kurt's lips ghosted over Blaine's neck.
"I want to cook you dinner first."
"What!?"
"I want this to be really romantic, okay? So let me cook you dinner and then you can decide what we have for dessert." Blaine winked and moved from Kurt's embrace, heading towards the kitchen.
"You're so lucky I love you." Kurt called after him, straightening out his shirt and rolling his eyes at Blaine's corny attitude.
PAGEBREAK
"And turn into the pose!" Cooper instructed, as he demonstrated some classic headshot poses. The girls turned awkwardly into a grimace. "No, no, no!" He cried when Grimes tripped over her own feet again. "Come on, guys. This is level 1 stuff!"
Alex sighed overdramatically. "Cooper. We don't want to act!"
"I'm sorry, what?" Cooper asked. "I can't hear what you're saying if you don't point your finger!" He cried. "Let's start on some scripting work."
Alex started to mime killing herself before Jess spoke up. "Can we not even take a break?" She moaned, collapsing onto the couch.
"No! These are tricks of the trade, guys! An Anderson gift! I'm surprised Blaine hasn't taught you himself, I taught him when he was your age." Cooper said wistfully. "I guess he is pretty busy… what with having a family and whatnot."
Jess suddenly got a mischievous glint in her eye and sat up on the couch. "You sound like you miss him." She said, winking subtly at Alex and Grimes.
Alex quickly caught on. "Yeah… I mean, I guess you don't see him so much anymore, right?"
Cooper nodded sadly. "We used to do everything together!"
"Hey!" The oldest triplet jumped up, as if she'd only just had this idea. "I have a great idea! You miss Blaine a lot, and I'm sure he misses being around you all the time… so why don't you come and stay at our house instead for the weekend!?"
The older Anderson sat up and seemed to ponder over the idea for a few moments. "That's brilliant! I would love to! But… are you sure Kurt and Blaine don't have anything planned though?" He asked.
The three girls grinned at each other. "Nope." Alex told him. "Nothing planned at all."
PAGEBREAK
Back in the Anderson-Hummel residence, Kurt and Blaine's kitchen was filled with soft candlelight and quiet music. The two men were seated at the kitchen table, a bottle of champagne in between them and plates of spaghetti (Blaine insisted they recreate the scene from 'Lady and the Tramp') along with a single white candle that flickered gently every time either of them spoke. "As much as your need to be romantic annoys me, you're a damn good cook Blaine." Kurt murmured, spinning the final bits of pasta around his fork.
Blaine just smirked. "You love it when I'm romantic. And I said you could pick dessert."
"Yes. But you were being a pervert when you said it."
Blaine scoffed and stood up, collecting his and Kurt's plates and putting them in the sink. He then grabbed his chair and moved it next to Kurt's, before sitting and taking one of the older man's hands. He pressed a soft kiss to Kurt's lips before leaning back, grinning when Kurt whined at the loss of contact. "Now who's being the pervert?" He smiled.
"Shut up and kiss me." Kurt mumbled, pulling Blaine by the shirt and trying to bring him closer. Just as they were about to kiss again they heard a faint knocking at the door. Kurt looked up in confusion. "Who on earth is that?" He asked his husband, standing up and releasing himself from Blaine's hands.
Kurt made his way through the hallway and unlocked the wooden door, immediately wishing he hadn't. "There's my brother-in-law!" The one and only Cooper Anderson cried, pulling Kurt into a hug just as crushing as the last one before stepping into the house.
"Cooper… what are you doing here?" Blaine had appeared in confusion. Kurt just continued standing by the front door looking puzzled.
"We brought him!" Grimes shouted in glee, practically skipping into the house and dumping her bag on the floor.
"Right…" Kurt started. "And why did you do that?"
"Oh, we just thought you guys might be missing each other, so we brought him here for you to have some quality time with your brother. Y'know, since you've got nothing else planned." Jess grinned evilly at her dad's, her eyes shining in triumph.
Kurt frowned in realisation as Cooper skipped through into the living room. "How could you do this to us!?" He whispered angrily.
"Dunno what you mean, dad." Alex smiled sweetly. "This way, we can all spend some time with good ol' Cooper."
Blaine and Kurt looked at each other in horror as their kids followed the actor into the other room. "Are they serious!?" Kurt asked frantically.
Blaine narrowed his eyes. "Why did we have kids again?"
Kurt was about to say something when he heard Cooper's voice from the other room. "Come on you two! I wanna show you this great movie pose that will guarantee you any role!"
"I am going to kill those girls!"
