HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN ON YOUR 26th BIRTHDAY!
So, I have pretty much spent hours just trying to figure this story out. I can't tell you how many times I got stuck, or had to change something etc etc. But now I'm somewhat happy with the end result so yay! :)
Okay, so I have been quite abscent with my one-shots lately, that is mostly from me focusing on a new story that popped into my head a while back. So far I only have one or two finished chapters, so I haven't posted any of them yet, but I will notify as soon as I do :)
Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING. But as usually, I really really want to :) I can't wait for the Come What May performance in a few weeks time, that is pretty much my beacon of light right now :D
"Okay Eliza, we're gonna have to be quiet now, and make sure Daddy Blaine won't wake up until we're in there, alright?" Blaine heard his husband whisper gently to their daughter behind the closed bedroom door. Quickly glancing over at the alarm clock on the bedside table, which showed half past nine, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, knowing what was to come fairly soon.
"Okay Daddy" Eliza whispered back to him, only not as silently as her father and Blaine had to stifle a giggle, making sure not to reveal his awoken state.
He could hear the bedroom door slowly creaking open and it took him all he had to seem fast asleep. The quiet thuds marking his husband and daughter's footsteps when they entered the room, and aligning themselves at the bedside was all that could be heard in the bedroom, it was so quiet, so peaceful, in Blaine's mind.
Suddenly he felt the bed dip on both sides of him, which was soon followed by two sloppy kisses on either side of his cheek.
"Happy Birthday Daddy!" his eight-year-old daughter laughed out happily. Blaine opened his eyes to see her sitting beside him, leaning towards him with a big grin spread across her face. On the other side of him sat his beautiful husband with their soon half year old son Matthew in his lap, and Blaine noticed he was also holding a tray at a safe distance from their son.
"Good morning" Kurt smiled cheekily at him.
Blaine sat up and kissed his daughter and son before giving his stunning husband a gentle peck. "Good morning to you too" he murmured leaning back. He pulled up Eliza to sit in his embrace and gave her a tight hug, resulting in his daughter laughing gleefully.
"Look Daddy, me and Daddy Kurt made you birthday breakfast!" she exclaimed pointing at the tray in Kurt's hold, which content however was hidden by a cap resting over it.
"I can see that Princess" he smiled kissing her on the top of her head. "Thank you so much darling! Do you think Daddy Kurt will let me see what's in there though? Hmm?" he hummed looking expectantly at the taller man sitting beside him, pleading a little by firing his puppy dog pout at the countertenor. Kurt smiled smugly at his younger husband for a moment, before gladly giving in to the hazel puppy-dog eyes, as he almost always did.
"Of course you get to see your daughter's little masterpiece honey, I don't know if you'll get to eat it though…" Kurt ended with the same smug smile on his lips, and Blaine couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
Blaine slowly lifted the lid from the tray, letting the delicious smell of pancakes and freshly baked chocolate chip cookies ooze out from its confinement. Blaine could literally feel his mouth salivating from the delightful scent, and he just wanted to attack the cookies in front of him, but he restrained himself long enough to hug his family closely and thank them greatly for the gift.
"Oh silly Daddy, that isn't your gift! Your real gift is downstairs waiting for you!" Emily proclaimed swiftly, before beginning to clasp her hands together "Now come on and eat, I want to see you open our presents!"
Blaine merely glanced over at his husband, who was now fully in a giggling fit, much to the dismay of Matthew who was wriggling around in Kurt's hold, trying to get down.
"You heard your daughter Blaine, eat up!" Kurt laughed out, steadying his hold of their energetic son. Blaine quickly complied to their wishes and dug in to his pancakes, knowing Kurt would surely get mad at him if he ate the cookies first, even though he wouldn't actually say something as it was his birthday.
Blaine moaned contently when he took his first bite of the pancakes; they were just heavenly and he made sure to compliment both cooks several times as he ate. He had to finish his breakfast far too quickly though, as Eliza was practically bouncing off the walls from being both excited and impatient.
"Oh Daddy, just hurry up will you!" she begged him for like the thousand time, rolling her eyes just like Kurt would do when he was impatient, the resemblance between two of his favorite people making Blaine chuckle silently. He quickly finished the last bite, and gave his daughter a hug.
"All finished sweetie. Now show me what has gotten you so enthusiastic!" She practically skipped out of the bedroom, Blaine and Kurt trailing behind. Blaine had taken Matthew from Kurt, his excuse being that he wanted to cuddle with his son, but really he just wanted to let his love rest for a while. Kurt had instead trailed his hand around Blaine's waist as the led the younger man downstairs into the living room where their daughter sat impatiently waiting for them. Blaine placed his son beside himself on the floor on top of a soft blanket which Blaine guessed Kurt had placed there in advance that morning.
"Okay, open this first!" she called hurriedly. "It is from Matthew," she said when she handed him a small, rectangular box. Inside Blaine found two beautiful bow-ties; one purple with yellow stars, and one Dior-gray with simple black B:s all over it.
"Thank you, little angel," Blaine said kissing his son sweetly on the cheek before continuing, "You must definitely be your daddy's boy, out shopping at such a young age" a statement which was followed by a wink in Kurt's direction. Kurt himself only snickered at that, and soon Blaine found himself with a new package in his hands, this time from his daughter.
Inside the somewhat bigger package he found a series of cds covering several of Blaine's favorite artists, but the one cd that stood out to him was one with his daughter on the cover.
"What is this?" he asked curiously in Eliza's direction.
"That is me singing a song to you" she answered proudly, "Daddy Kurt helped me make it." Blaine felt a small tear threatening to come out, and he motioned his daughter to come to him which she happily complied and he hugged her tightly to him, whispering a quiet 'thank you' to her before he let her go.
The last present was of course from Kurt, who grinned nervously at him, unnecessarily though as Blaine practically launched himself at his husband after he revealed the two tickets to one of his favorite musicals, Rent, hiding inside the package. While listening to his daughter go 'eww' and 'yuck' and his son gurgling to himself Blaine kissed his husband feverously time and time again; on his forehead, both of his cheeks, his nose, his ears, his neck, his chin and lastly a few light kisses on the taller man's soft lips.
Blaine then reluctantly sat up again, and looked back at the two tickets, realizing what the date on them said.
"Umm, Kurt… You do realize these are for tonight, right?" he asked looking wonderingly in his direction, only to receive a sly smile and a 'maybe' in response.
Blaine raised an eyebrow then, clearly having not received the answer he had hoped for. Kurt threw his head back and giggled softly at his husband's adorable expression.
"Don't worry; everything has been taken care of. Quinn and Puck has agreed to babysit these two rascals, and I already picked out your outfit for tonight. Why do you think Matthew gave you those bowties in the first place, huh?" Kurt finished in a teasing tone, to which Blaine could only really roll his eyes in a very Kurt-esque manor if he could say so himself.
"Thank you" he said earnestly, before kissing his husband again, eliciting more 'ewws' from his daughter in the progress.
This was quickly becoming one of Blaine's best birthdays ever; however, he had always claimed just that since he met that amazing boy on the staircase so many years ago.
