4th chapter! Thank you all for the lovely reviews, they make my day! Kurt singing to Evelyn was Olivia-Marie-20's idea, so credit to her.
"Hey, Rachel!" Kurt set down a paper bag on her table. "I brought lunch."
"Thank God you're here, Kurt. I just need to talk to someone." Rachel hugged him. (Evelyn was taking a nap in her room.)
Kurt set out the Chinese food he had brought. "So, what's the problem?"
Rachel sighed. "Oh, Kurt. Just…taking care of a baby and a house and a job isn't like I thought it would be. I used to see women with houses that were spick-and-span, with great careers, had fun with their babies, were still in love with their husbands, and had hobbies to boot. I thought it all just came so easily, but it really doesn't. My house has completely gone to shambles, I work as a waitress, can barely stand my own child, never see my husband, and it's been almost a year since I even had a bit part at a show."
"Rachel, you know things will get better. Evelyn will get older, then she won't be so much work and you can get a part in a play. Promotions and better jobs will come and I'm sure once Finn can find a better job, he'll spend more time with you."
"But am I a bad person, Kurt?"
"No, you're very nice person."
"Then, why me? Why am I stuck with all this?"
"Rachel, maybe you should just have an afternoon to yourself. I can babysit Evy. "Kurt offered. He was especially concerned, since Rachel was never usually this upset.
"Really? Thank you, Kurt." Rachel said, grabbing her purse. "Her baby food is in the fridge."
The second Rachel left, Evelyn started crying. Kurt wasn't sure why, exactly, but maybe she could sense that her mother was gone.
Kurt went into her room and picked her up. "It's ok, Evelyn. Mommy will be back soon. Want me to sing you a song?
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning Though I've loved you for a million years And if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always stay around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely Because you came to my rescue And I know that this must be Heaven How could so much love be inside of you?
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah That's why I'll always stay around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my soul
You are the sunshine of my life, baby That's why I'll always stay around Can't stop living You are the apple of my eye."
As he sang, Evy gradually stopped crying. She looked up at Kurt when he was done singing and batted her hand near his face.
"Want me to sing it again? I will, then. I'll get your lunch together, too."
Kurt kept singing as he fed Evelyn her strained fruit.
Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed and I'll try to update soon!
