When Rachel opened her door later, Kurt and Blaine stood on the other side, their hands linked, their smiles wide. "Aww, your plan worked," Rachel said happily.
"It did indeed," Blaine replied, with a wink at his husband.
Kurt let go of Blaine's hand as they stepped inside and reached for the sleeping baby cradled in Rachel's arms. "How was she?" he asked.
"Perfect, as always," Rachel said, handing her to Kurt.
Blaine leaned down and gave his daughter a quick kiss, then straightened. "Thanks again for watching her, Rachel."
"Anytime, absolutely anytime," she replied.
Kurt laid his daughter gently on the blanket Rachel had spread on the floor earlier, then carefully slid her jacket and winter clothes on
"Wow, she's a heavy sleeper," Rachel commented as she watched Kurt.
"Mm, like someone else I know," Blaine answered, walking around the apartment to gather up Olivia's things.
"Good thing, too, or I'd never sleep through your snoring," Kurt teased.
"I do not snore," Blaine said emphatically. "Unlike you."
Kurt shook his head at Rachel and mouthed, "He's lying."
Rachel laughed. "It's so nice to have Klaine back."
"Ugh, hasn't the hybrid name trend passed yet?" Kurt griped.
"You love it," Rachel shot back.
Kurt rolled his eyes but didn't respond as he lifted the baby into his arms. "Okay, well, we should be going," he said, passing Olivia to Blaine and reaching out to give Rachel a hug. "Thank you again for everything. You're the best."
"I know," Rachel said with a grin. "I'll see you guys."
Blaine leaned over and gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, Rachel."
Kurt leaned down and picked up the diaper bag that Blaine had left next to his feet and slung it over his shoulder. "Bye, Rachel."
"Don't forget to send me your script," she answered.
Kurt laughed. "I won't forget. Believe me." Then, wrapping an arm around his husband's waist, he turned for the door and headed for his apartment, to continue living his happily ever after.
