"Belle! You were perfect! It was like in A Very Potter Musical when Voldemort makes Harry dance using the Imperius curse! You were that perfect." Kayla said with a serious face as she babbled on. After about five minutes of Kayla's rants, Belle had enough.
"Kayla! Speak English! I don't know anything about this AVPC." Belle said to Kayla, causing the older sibling to dramatically roll her eyes. "Belle, Its AVPM." Kayla continued, trying to explain why it was so great.
Meanwhile, Kurt and Blaine trailed behind their daughters on their way to the car.
"I wonder if Rachel and Carole have everything under control at home. I want this surprise party to be perfect for Belle. It was a big night for her. She did so well." Kurt said with misty eyes.
"Babe, stop worrying," Blaine said, "They've got it." He reached over, put his arm around Kurt's shoulders and pulled him close, kissing his temple.
"Rachel wouldn't do anything half-way. She's such a perfectionist. So I'd say that everything is already in place, waiting for us to get there." Blaine chuckled as he said this, remembering her crazy antics back in high school. She's definitely mellowed out since then, but she's still Rachel.
Finally, they reached their car, unlocking it and helping Belle into her booster seat. She had to use it longer than other children because of her small size. She wasn't happy about this either. She stomped, screamed and crossed her arms. Kurt was always more firm with her, but Blaine babied her, telling her he would watch The Little Mermaid, her favorite Disney movie, if she would cooperate.
This always made Kurt roll his eyes. Blaine was so wrapped around that little girl's finger, and he didn't even know it.
After they were all on board, and Blaine had promised, once again, to a Disney movie marathon, they were on their way home to the surprise party for their sweet little girl.
They drove in silence for a couple minutes before Kurt turned on the radio. "Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love…" Blaine and Kurt looked at each other, remembering the first time they had met on that Dalton staircase.
"Kayla, Belle?" questioned Kurt. "Have your Daddy and I ever told you about the time Daddy B sang this to me when we were sixteen?"
The girls shook their heads, looking eager to her more.
Kurt then went on to tell them of his and Blaine's first meeting. The spying, the song, and the coffee. He left out the conversation about the bully though. They didn't need to hear that.
They squealed at their Daddy B, "Daddy, you really sang that song to Daddy K the first day you knew him? You are so brave!"
Blaine acted hurt over their lack of faith in him. "Of course I was brave! I had to talk to him; he was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. He still is."
Blaine reached over, grabbing Kurt's hand, and began rubbing little circles on the back of it with his thumb.
"Ew! No PDA, Daddies! There are kids in the car!" cried Kayla as she covered her and Belle's eyes with her hand.
Kurt rolled his blue eyes, looking at Blaine with an amused expression on his face.
Belle looked out her window curiously as they pulled into their driveway, already filled with cars.
"Daddies," said Belle, "what's going on?"
Blaine parked, got out of the car and unbuckled Belle from her booster, and said, "Let's go in and see, Pumpkin."
Belle thoroughly enjoyed her party. All of her friends from the recital came and helped devour the cupcakes her Auntie Rachel and Grandma Carole made earlier that day.
People left slowly as the night progressed, leaving Blaine and Kurt alone with the girls around 11:30.
Belle was asleep on the couch, while Kayla was upstairs playing her guitar.
"You taught her to play beautifully," said Kurt as he and Blaine cleaned the kitchen. "Are you planning on performing together at that coffee shop soon?"
Blaine rummaged around the junk drawer, finally finding what he was looking for and exclaimed, "Ah, here it is. The next open mic night is in two weeks. I guess we could play then. If she wants."
"Original stuff?" asked Kurt as he put the leftover cookies in the pantry.
"Maybe. I was thinking Not Alone or Status Quo. I'll have to ask her to be sure."
It made Blaine extremely happy to be able to share something special like this with his oldest daughter.
"We should invite Finn, Rachel, Barbra, Burt and Carole to join us. I think they would really enjoy it. And the coffee isn't bad." Blaine said, thinking out loud.
Suddenly, there was a bloodcurdling scream followed by a loud crash that came from upstairs.
"DADDIES!" yelled Kayla, "Come help me!"
Blaine and Kurt looked at each other, panic etched on each of their faces. They took off running and yelled, "Kayla! We're on our way, baby!"
They reach her bedroom, finding her guitar broken on the floor, while Kayla sat on top of her desk screaming, "A MOUSE. THERE. WAS. A. MOUSE."
Kurt and Blaine sigh with relief. "Honey, you shouldn't do that to us." said Kurt as he put his hand over his eyes.
Blaine walks over to Kayla, pulls her over to the bed and makes her sit down cuddled up to his side.
He holds her close as she tries to catch her breath. "Princess," Blaine says, "your guitar is broken."
This causes Kayla's body to be racked with sobs. Blaine holds her closer, trying to calm her.
"Shhh, baby, its ok. We'll get you a new guitar. Until then you can use one of mine." Blaine says, trying to comfort her.
"B-but that one is signed by my favorite band!" Kayla chokes out in between her sobs.
Blaine looks at Kurt, still standing in the doorway, unsure of what he should do.
"Kurt, sweetheart, will you go get me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and a gallon on ice cream?" Blaine asks Kurt quietly.
"Sure, baby. How about we all go to our room to read it together? I'll go wake Belle so she can join us. She doesn't have school tomorrow. Teacher conference." Kurt says with a smile.
Blaine nods, grabbing Kayla's stuffed Hedwig, scoops up Kayla, carrying her to his and Kurt's room.
A few minutes later, in walks Kurt and Belle with the "cheer up Kayla" supplies.
Belle sees how distraught Kayla is, so she immediately crawls into her older sister's arms for a good sister cuddle.
Blaine and Kurt sit on either side of them, with their arms around their children.
"Chapter one, The Boy Who Lived." reads Blaine in his narrator voice, making everyone laugh.
By the time Mr. Dursley is seeing owls everywhere, the girls are fast asleep.
Blaine quietly closes the book and lays it down on the bedside table. Reaching behind the sleeping girls, he gently strokes Kurt's cheek with the back of his hand.
Blaine looks at the man he loves, and says, "I love you. Always."
Kurt's smile reaches his eyes as he says, "Till the end."
They fall asleep with those words hanging in the air.
