Kurt sighed as it started to get dark, he should order out as he didn't want to cook anything in the kitchen with out permission but he didn't want to leave the boys to not eat. He pulled out his phone, calling the closest pizza place and ordering the same thing they ordered when doing late night study sessions. He pulled out the appropiate money counting it and the tip. He was setting plates on the table when Arriana woke up again. He quickly picked her up.
"Hey baby girl. Hungry? Your diaper don't feel wet." Kurt said, speaking to her while making her bottle. She was halfway done with it when there was a knock on the door. "That must be the pizzaman baby girl. Hang on so I can get it."
He cradled her to his chest placing the bottle on a table in the front hall. He opened the door. "Four large pizzas, an order of cheese sticks and thirty wings?"
"Yep. Uh hang on." Kurt pulled the money out of his pocket passing it over and when trying to figure out how to grab the boxes Arriana started crying.
"Sir, I could always carry these in for you if your hands are full with your daughter." The guy said, he was probably in college.
Kurt looked relieved. "Thank you, just sit them on the kitchen table? And she's not my daughter."
The pizzaman looked shocked. "Well you'd make a good father one day."
Kurt blushed, pulling another five from his pocket. "Here, for carrying the pizzas in. Thank you once again I guess I should go wake the boys now."
The pizzaman nodded and left. Kurt followed picking up the bottle again rubbing Arriana's back as she fussed. "She baby girl I got you. Let's wake your uncle and his friends okay?"
Kurt looked at the three sleeping boys, he pulled the blankets off Wes and David, who were wrapped up in them and fell on the floor. They sat up glaring. "What was that for?"
"To wake you up." Kurt responded, sitting on the edge of the couch next to his sleeping boyfriend and carefully rubbing his back. "Honey, time to get up."
Blaine sat up slowly rubbing his eyes. "Arriana need something?"
Kurt smiled. "No, I have her, you three should come to the kitchen. I got dinner."
They all got up at the words and Kurt followed them into the kitchen, sitting in his chair and going back to feeding Arriana. Blaine noticed the time and his jaw dropped. "Kurt why did you let me sleep, I should have been up with my niece!"
Kurt shook his head smiling at Blaine. "You was tired. She only woke up a couple times. I actually enjoyed the quiet."
Blaine frowned. "Kurt you shouldn't have to have taken care of her at all!"
Kurt rolled his eyes. "I wanted to. I'm quite taken with her."
Blaine sighed. "You need to eat."
"I will. But Arri is eating first." Kurt said looking down at the infant, who's eyes were wide open.
Blaine scowled. "You gave her a nickname!" His tone was playful though and Kurt knew Blaine didn't care.
"Actually, you did. In your sleep when she started crying, you said 'shh Arri'. I thought it was too cute. Now I expect you boys to eat alot. I need to go change her diaper."
As Kurt vanished up the steps Wes and David looked surprised. "Kurt really does care for you you know. We can tell."
Blaine nodded, "I don't deserve him. I'm probably going to be a wreck as soon as he goes home. It's like he's taken the weight of everything off my shoulders and I fear I won't be able to handle it afterwards."
David and Wes searched their heads for a response but were saved by Kurt entering looking at them. "One of you fetch the bassinet?"
Wes stood going to get it, he placed it carefully on the table and they were surprised Kurt didn't immediately relieve his arms of the small infant. Kurt was clueless to their looks, as he rocked in his seat and hummed until he was sure she was sleeping. He only then laid her in the bassinet. He glanced up seeing Blaine look at him.
"What?"
"Nothing. Eat please?" Blaine asked, smiling at his boyfriend, he himself was still picking at his food. Kurt nodded though, grabbing a slice of the vegetarian pizza.
"This is going to be so bad for my skin." Kurt complained, though he closed his eyes in bliss when he bit into it.
Blaine grinned, his eyes narrowing at Wes' and David's kissy faces. "Why did you order it?"
"I didn't know what would be acceptable to cook. And its easy to order out when you have a little one to care for." Kurt said simply, grimacing at the pig-like ways Wes and David were eating. "I think its fine. Hey, we're shopping tomorrow right? Do you think Gran would mind going over to my house with Arriana? Carol and Dad were discussing how much they wanted to spend more time with her."
"That would be perfect actually." Blaine grinned, "When Gran comes home well deal with it okay?"
Kurt nodded, putitng his plate in the sink. "Blaine go get your gamesystem and bring it down here for you boys to play."
Blaine rolled his eyes. "What will you be doing?"
"Reading like I've been doing all day." Kurt held up Blaine's copy of the first Harry Potter book, pleased at the smile on his boyfriends face. They got situated in the living room, Kurt curled in the armchair reading, the boys playing.
By eleven the boys had popped in a movie, Kurt still reading one of his boyfriend's favorite books. He finally looked up at the sound of Arriana crying. Blaine went to get up and Kurt smiled. "You want to change her or get a bottle ready?"
"Bottle. She it smells like she pooped." Blaine answered, smiling when Kurt bent over and gently picked up the infant.
"Wuss." Kurt said over his shoulder heading up the stairs.
Blaine shook his head, going to the kitchen and fixing the bottle. As he re-entered the living room he noticed the slight mess they have made, he'll have to clean it up later. Kurt entered, coo-ing to Arriana. "You want to feed her Blaine?"
Blaine nodded letting Kurt carefully place the girl in his arms, kissing her forehead softly. "Thank you for being such a help."
Kurt shook his head, "When will you stop thanking me?"
Kurt started cleaning up the mess, nudging the two boys falling asleep again on the couch. "How about you two shower and change into some pajamas? I'll make some more hot chocolate for us all."
They yawned but got up, heading upstairs, they've been here enough times to know where everything is. Kurt grabbed their mugs off the table, grinning over at Blaine, "Do you want some too?"
Blaine nodded, "Yes please."
Kurt entered the kitchen and nearly dropped the mugs to see Gran and Father Mattingly in there, talking quietly. Gran saw him and nodded, "Thank you so much hon for helping out. I really appreciate. You're really good in the domestic setting."
Kurt laughed shaking his head, "You Andersons will never stop thinking me will you?"
Gran shook her head as well, "Nope."
Kurt shrugged, "I'm making hot chocolate would you two like some?"
They nodded and he started the boiling water, pulling out clean mugs and putting powder in each cup. "How long have you been here?"
Father Mattingly looked at him, "Since you came down the stairs with the infant. Megan here insisted we leave you to do what you was doing. I think she was just making sure her grandson and great-granddaughter were in good hands."
Kurt nodded, that was understandable. He was about to say something else when Blaine entered, Arriana in his arms, "Kurt what should- Gran you're back. Dinner lasted a long time."
Gran blushed. "Blaine we went back to the church-"
"Lost track of time. Megan fell asleep in my office. I didn't the heart to wake her." Father Mattingly responded.
Blaine nodded, its happened before. Gran would go out with Father Mattingly and the church ladies and would end up falling asleep. The father never woke her until he had to. "Like I was saying. Kurt, what should I put her in to sleep?"
"Her footsie pajamas of course. Get going. And tell the boys hot cocoa is almost done okay?" Kurt demanded softly. BLaine nodded once and went up the stairs. Kurt poured hot water in the mugs mixing the powder and adding marshmallows and rediwhip before sitting the mugs at the table.
"Father Mattingly, are you staying the night?"
He looked surprised, "No I musn't impose, you don't-"
Blaine had reentered, "We have the guest room, Wes and David can sleep on the pull out couch, Kurt can sleep in my room."
Father Mattingly leveled Blaine with a look. "That isn't very proper Blaine."
Blaine grinned, "But Father! You make it sound like we're going to be improper. Arriana will stay in my room tonight as well. And maybe you'll get a goodnight kiss from Gran."
Both of the elders reddened. "Blaine Michael Anderson! You best be glad you're holding Arriana. Implying such things." Gran repriminded as Wes and David walked in. They stopped when they saw Father Mattingly.
"Hello Father, we wasn't aware you were here." David said, sitting infront of a mug. Wes sat beside him, looking at the Father.
Kurt sat beside Blaine an arm draped around his chair. They were sipping their hot chocolate while waiting for an answer from Father Mattingly. He shook his head, "I'm sorry but I don't find it proper."
Blaine stood, handing Arriana to Gran, "Father, look, its getting bad out, we don't want you to crash because its too dark to see where you're going. You can leave first thing in the morning. Okay?'
"I don't-"
"Please Matthew?" Gran asked. He sighed and nodded. "Great, Blaine, could you find something for him to wear?"
Blaine nodded, leaving the room. Kurt looked pleased, standing as well. "I'll move Arriana's bassinet to Blaine's room."
Gran frowned. "Kurt you know you could always put it in my room."
"You've had a long day and I'm sure when I go home Blaine will switch up with you. But for the night she'll go in Blaine's room." Kurt left grabbing the bassinet, putting it near the bed but not too close. When he went back downstairs Blaine was already there, they were talking about shopping. More specifically christmas shopping.
"Okay, so I'll give you my credit card and you and Kurt be Santa's elves okay?" Gran said, smiling down at Arriana. "And while you are out, I want you to get a christmas tree. I'll make a list of everything else I want okay boys?"
They nodded, Christmas shopping would be fun. Father looked at them. "I need to leave by nine so-"
"We'll wake you by eight thirty so you can eat breakfast Father. I'll even try make breakfast." Blaine said, a grin appearing on his face. "But we should go to bed now. Gran hand her over."
"I'll carry her up. How about you help get Wes and David settled in. Kurt shall help the father." Kurt nodded, rinsing his mug and placing it in the dishwasher. Father Mattingly stood and Kurt showed him to the guest room, but Gran and Blaine have made it sound like he's stayed the night before.
The Father sat the clothes down, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Thank you for helping Blaine and Megan. You have no idea how much they are going to need you and your family. Annie would have been glad you're here. She would have been glad that Blaine has someone to lean on through this."
"Well even if I wasn't his boyfriend, I'll try to be here for him." Kurt responded, he felt a bit off not knowing exactly what he was supposed to talk about with the father.
"Kurt, sit down for a minute, I'd like to speak to you." Kurt sat on the bed, crossing his legs, a bit uneasy, he wasn't sure about speaking with the father, he was sure the man would suddenly start preaching to him. "Now earlier you had said that you weren't religious. Now is there a reason behind that? You seem to accept talking to me with ease. And it seemed as if you didn't mind Blaine being religious."
Kurt was sort of expecting that, but not expecting it enough to have an answer prepared. "Well if there was a God then what kind of God is he to take away a child's mother as soon as that child finds out he's gay? I feel that if there was a God then he wouldn't have made me gay then allowed me to be ridiculed daily because of it."
The Father laughed, he actually laughed at Kurt's statement. "Pardon me. That was probably rude. But you seem to be going through the same things Blaine went through when he was coming to terms with himself."
Kurt blinked surprised, "There was a time when Blaine doubted his religion?"
"Yes. When he lost his mother found out he was gay and I'm afraid now, that Annie is gone as well." The father confessed, looking at Kurt.
"I hope that doesn't happen. I might not be religious, but I know he is, so I'll try to make sure he don't forget his religion." Kurt said. Meaning it.
Father Mattingly nodded, "Thank you. I'm sure you know but I've been the pastor at the church since before Annie was born." The father stopped. "Wow, that makes me sound old. Anyways, I've never allowed homophobes to speak down to any homosexuals in my church. My sister was a lesbian, and committed suicide because she wasn't accepted. I wasn't going to allow that to happen to anyone that attended my church. I know you were born that way, God made you gay because he knew you would be strong enough to face whatever ignorant people sent your way. Now I don't mean to preach to you if you aren't of faith. But if you ever decide to have faith, my church is always open to you."
Kurt smiled, "Thank you sir. I'll remember that. I'll let you get some sleep now, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you around."
Kurt went to his boyfriend room, where Gran was looking at Arriana, her cheeks stained with tears, he softly placed a hand on her shoulder. "Gran?"
"Kurt, I'm fine. She just looks so much like Annie did." She sighed, "I'm going to bed, goodnight."
Kurt changed quickly, checking on Arriana when Blaine entered in his own pajamas. "Hey honey, ready to go to bed?"
Kurt climbed in the bed, Blaine flicking off the light before following. Kurt sighed as Blaine held him. "You need to take down some of your posters, its creepy having so many eyes watch you as you sleep."
"Harry Potter is not creepy. Even if the characters do watch you sleep." Blaine objected, laughing slightly.
Author's Note: Wow. I'm apoligizing so much. I though I uploaded this already and I haven't forgive me?
