Hi guys!

There's only one more one-shot left but guess what? I'm working on the sequel and I will publish it soon. I hope you're still interested.

Enjoy!

Birthday

Blaine leaned back on the couch and watched silently as Kurt ran up and down in their apartment, getting ready for the big day. It wasn't like he didn't want to help him, he had tried to join Kurt several times but the man, like every time when he worked on an important design, didn't let Blaine go close to his work. Or Elyse, by the way. The two of them was forced to spend the morning on the couch, watching Kurt as he got ready for the big day.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Blaine asked after a while.

"Yes" Kurt muttered as he tried to fix a balloon to the wall.

"Because I have nothing to do" Blaine continued. "And you seem to get lost in that decoration."

"I'm doing fine" Kurt said and stepped back.

Blaine sighed and shook his head. He had learnt from past experiences that it was better to leave Kurt alone when he worked. He hated when someone disturbed him, especially when he had an important project. Like now. It was the most important project of the year, at least until their wedding that was coming rapidly, too.

"Elyse and I could go to the park until you finish this" Blaine offered a few minutes later. He was so bored and wanted to do something.

"Great idea" Kurt smiled and left the decoration for a minute to kiss his fiancé. "You could get the cake on your way back."

"See? I knew we could help you somehow" Blaine winked and turned back to his daughter. "Do you want to play, sweetie?"

Elyse smiled at him and reached out towards Blaine, a sign that she wanted him to pull her into his arms. Blaine lifted her off the couch and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Come on, let's change your clothes" Blaine said and walked into the nursery with his daughter.

About ten minutes later, Blaine stepped through the front door with Elyse in his arms and walked down the stairs, heading towards the park. Elyse loved that place, especially the ducks. They had to visit them every single day on their way home because as they passed the park, she started screaming and didn't stop until Blaine showed her the ducks. It was their program. Kurt had to work a lot and usually couldn't be with them, so it was mostly just Blaine and Elyse.

Blaine walked to the small lake and looked around, determined to find his girl what she wanted to see. It was her big day after all, it had to be perfect for her. Unfortunately, the ducks didn't show up at the lake that day and Elyse seemed disappointed as she looked around.

"Da?" she said as she looked at Blaine.

"I'm sorry, baby girl, they have to be somewhere else" Blaine said.

Elyse sighed heavily and looked around again, determined to find the ducks. Blaine laughed as the girl furrowed her brows in concentration. He had to find her those ducks, there was no way that they could go home without seeing them but they couldn't be late either. Their families would arrive soon and Kurt would be angry with him if he couldn't make it home in time.

"Okay, let's find them" Blaine sighed and turned around, walking away from the lake, much to Elyse's protest.

Hours later, Kurt was tapping his foot like crazy, waiting for the others to arrive. He was ready with the decoration and most of the food and now he was just waiting for the others to arrive. After the horrible Christmas party, he and Blaine had decided to only invite their families, so they would hopefully avoid another embarrassing holiday. It was time for Blaine and Elyse to come back with the cake and Cooper and Pamela would arrive soon, too. Carole had called him a few hours earlier, letting him know that they would be late but it was only matter of time and they would arrive, too.

Since Elyse's birth, holidays became a lot more important for Kurt than before. It wasn't just about him and his family anymore. He had a beautiful baby girl now who deserved the best and since he and Blaine had gotten back together and everything seemed so amazing around them, Kurt tried his best to get as much unforgettable moments with them as possible.

Finally, the doorbell rang and Kurt rushed to the front door to open it.

"Hey, Kurt" Cooper greeted him as he stepped inside with a huge Frozen balloon in his hand.

"Wow" Kurt said as he looked at the balloon.

"We saw it on our way here and couldn't leave it there" Pamela smiled as she followed her older son. "Where's my granddaughter?"

"She and Blaine went out to the park but they should be home in any minute" Kurt said.

"Oh, we brought the salads" Pamela said. "Is everything else ready?"

"More than ready, I see" Cooper said, looking around in the decorated living room.

"She deserves the best" Kurt replied.

"Be careful. You spoil her so much that you won't be able to handle her soon" Pam smiled.

"I know but we can't help it. She's amazing" Kurt said.

He and Pamela moved into the kitchen to finish their food. They were almost ready when the doorbell rang again and Kurt walked to the door to open it.

"Where's the birthday girl?" Burt smiled as he stepped inside, with a huge balloon... Wait a minute.

"A Frozen balloon? That's... that's nice" Kurt said, looking at the balloon that looked exactly like the one Cooper had bought.

"Yeah, we saw it on our way here and..." Burt looked around, frowning when his eyes found the other balloon. "Looks like we weren't the only ones thinking about it."

"I guess it's time to watch Frozen with Elyse" Kurt sighed.

"Where are the others?" Carole asked, searching for the rest of the family.

"They're on their way home. I will call Blaine to ask him where they are" Kurt said and walked into the bedroom to call his fiancé.

"Five minutes" Blaine said as he picked up the phone. "There was... an accident."

"Accident?" Kurt asked, his blood running cold.

"Don't worry, we're fine but..." Blaine fell silent. Kurt could only hear his heavy sigh.

"What happened?" Kurt asked in concern.

"I will explain when we get home" Blaine said and disconnected the call.

Kurt took a deep breath before going back into the living room. He had learnt from their first year with Elyse that nothing went according to the plan and now he wasn't even a little upset. Something was going to happen, he was sure, he just had to wait for it.

When Blaine and Elyse walked into the apartment about ten minutes later and he looked at them, Kurt turned pale and had to grab the edge of the table because he felt like his knees were about to give up and not support his weight any longer. His family was a mess, their clothes were ruined and they were both dirty. They must have had some horrible accident. Kurt rushed forward, checking them for injuries.

"What the hell happened?" he asked, close to tears.

"Uhm... we were on our way home when Elyse spotted the ducks in the lake, so we walked down to them and..." Blaine bit his lip nervously. "We slipped and fell into the water."

"Oh my God!" Kurt gasped. "Are you okay?"

"It was fun" Blaine smiled but his smile soon disappeared when his fiancé glared at him and grabbed their daughter from Blaine's arms.

"Poor baby, you must have been so scared" Kurt cooed.

"She pretty much enjoyed it, actually" Blaine muttered.

Kurt shook his head and disappeared in the bathroom with Elyse to wash her and give her fresh clothes. When he walked back into the living room, his eyes landed on the way too many balloons in there. Last time he had checked, there had been only two similar ones but now he saw three. He couldn't decide if it was real or it was just his mind playing stupid games with him.

"Guess what we found on our way home?" Blaine smiled as he showed Kurt the Frozen balloon.

"I'm starting to think that there's no other type of balloons in this city" Kurt muttered.

"It doesn't matter" Burt said from where he was sitting beside Elyse on the ground. "Look, she likes them!"

Burt was right. Elyse ignored everything and everyone, her focus was completely on the three balloons swimming in the air over her. She giggled and reached out for one or another, screaming in excitedly when the balloons drifted away from her fingers.

"See? You're always so worried about details but things always end well" Blaine said as he sneaked his arms around Kurt from behind.

"Yeah, I'm starting to accept it" Kurt sighed and turned around to give Blaine a quick kiss. "Tell me the cake survived your fall."

"Cake?" Blaine asked.

"The cake you were supposed to bring home" Kurt reminded him.

"Oh, that cake" Blaine said awkwardly. "Well, uhm... Please, don't be angry."

"You forgot about the cake" Kurt said slowly.

"Maybe?" Blaine asked carefully.

Kurt sighed and sat down beside his daughter.

"I'm sorry" Blaine said as he joined them. He knew how important this day was for Kurt and he didn't want to ruin it. He had just forgotten about the cake in the park.

"It's good that we have a wedding planner" Kurt said after a while. "I couldn't deal with this chaos on our wedding day, too."

"You shouldn't try so hard. Things like this happen sometimes, it's not our fault" Blaine shrugged. "Besides, it will only be harder as she gets older. We should just accept that we aren't the lucky type."

"You might be right" Kurt nodded.

"Okay, guys, stop being so negative" Burt said. "It's time to start the party. Who's ready for the presents?"

He grabbed a box from the table and handed it the Elyse. The girl took it from her grandfather and ripped the wrapping paper from the box, her present completely forgotten. The shiny paper seemed a lot more interesting for her.

"Oh, look at this doll" Kurt smiled as he took the toy into his hands. "It's beautiful, Dad!"

"Carole chose it" Burt smiled at his wife.

"I had a smiliar one when I was young" Carole explained.

"I'm sure she will like it. Once she destroys the wrapping paper" Blaine said.

The next present was a beautiful dress Kurt had made himself for his baby girl. Elyse abandoned the wrapping paper for a whole minute to see what his father had done for her. She liked the shiny material of the dress and from her gestures Kurt found out that she wanted to wear it. Immediately.

"Here you are" Kurt said as he helped Elyse get into the dress.

The girl just smiled, she looked at her fathers, then down at the dress and then at Kurt again.

"Okay, let's see what you have, guys" Blaine said, turning towards the nervous looking Cooper and Pamela.

"We didn't know that..." Pamela said but Elyse already freed her other toy from the paper.

Kurt burst into laughter when he found out that the present was another doll, looking exactly like the one Carole and Burt had bought. Blaine handed it to Elyse who seemed slightly confused that she had two exact same looking dolls but she didn't seem like she cared about it. She pulled the dools into her arms and giggled.

"I guess we have to make a gift list for the wedding before we get the same from everyone" Blaine said quietly.

"And another lists for ourselves before one of us forgets the rings or something equally important" Kurt said with a pointed look.

"I know, I know" Blaine whispered.

Kurt shook his head, smiling. He was pretty sure that the wedding was going to be a disaster but for some reason, he wasn't really concerned.
