Chapter 17
Jeff and Nick were ran around double checking that everything was ready for tonight. Kurt and Blaine had asked them a couple days ago if they could watch Elizabeth. Nick and Jeff had of course agreed. It would be great practice for in a couple months. There was a knock on the door. Jeff answered, and let Kurt, Blaine, and Elizabeth in.
"Hey, guys." he said smiling.
"Hey, Jeff." Blaine said. Kurt hugged the blonde in greeting. Nick walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey, guys.", he said
"Hey, Nick.", both boys said. Kurt handed Jeff Elizabeth.
"Alright. So she was just changed before we left. There's diapers, extra clothes, and two bottles in her bag. As well, as anything else I thought you could use. We shouldn't be out too, late."
"You guys, Nicky and I got this." Jeff said smiling. Kurt smiled at the blonde's optimism. Kurt and Blaine left a couple minutes later.
"Well, hello there sweetheart." Jeff cooed to Elizabeth. She smiled a gumfilled smile at Jeff. "Nicky?"
"Yes, baby?" Nick said, from where he was leaning behind Jeff.
"Will you hold her so I can go cook some supper?", Jeff asked sweetly.
"Yeah." Nick said, gently taking the little girl. She looked at Nick cuiously as if trying to decide whether or not to cry. She snuggled into his chest, and Jeff cooed at how quickly she took to Nick.
"Awww, Nicky, your a natural."
"Don't you have supper to cook?" Nick teased him. Jeff stuck his tongue out at him, and Nick chuckled.
Once supper was done it was more than obvious that Elizabeth would need a bath. She was covered in pasta sauce, and tiny noodle pieces. Jeff ran the water while Nick wiped her off a little.
"All set, Nicky." he called.
Nick walked into the bathroom. He handed Elizabeth to Jeff, who made quick work of Elizabeth's dirty clothes.
"Nicky, will you out these in the wash,please?" he asked his boyfriend sweetly. Nick rolled his eyes at his boyfriend.
"Of course, dear. Wouldn't want you to take an extra two steps.",Nick said, sarcasstically.
Jeff put Elizabeth in the bathtub, holding her with one hand, as he started washing her hair. It was very apparent that she would have Blaine's unruly curls. Though they were closer to a chestnut color like Kurt's than Blaine's choclate colored hair. Elizabeth slapped her little fist on the water, splashing Jeff right in the face. Jeff blinked, trying to get the water out of his eyes.
"Now, what did you do that for, sweetheart?" he asked, tickling her tummy, which only caused her to flail more, splashing more water.
Nick turned back from the washing machine, and laughed.
"Jeff, I thought you were giving Elizabeth a bath, not the other way around."
Jeff turned to Nick, glaring. He took Elizabeth out of the tub, and handed her to Nick.
"Well, here you try!" he stomped off. Nick blinked, surprised at Jeff's sudden mood swing. He shook his head.
"I'll see him after I finish your bath." Nick said. He washed all the sauce off of Elizabeth, and put her in a clean diaper, and sleeper. "Now, let's go see Uncle Jeffy." Nick walked back to his and Jeff's room. He knocked on the door.
"Jeffy? Jeffy, can I come in, please." He asked, lightly bouncing Elizabeth so she didn't get upset. "Please, baby. I wasn't trying to make fun of you. I really wasn't. I thought it was cute. I'm really sorry for upsetting you Jeffy."
Nick heard the door unlock, and Jeff appeared in the doorway his eyes rimmed red from crying.
"I'm sorry for over reacting Nick." he said, as he burst into tears. "It's just my hormones, and she got my hair wet, and you know how I feel about my hair, and..."
Nick pulled Jeff into a hug.
"I know, Jeffy, I know." They stayed like that until Elizabeth started crying, upset at not being the center of attention.
"Oh, is somebody tired?" Jeff cooed. He took Elizabeth from Nick, and carried her to the couch, cooing to her the entire time. He sat down on the couch.
"Nicky, can you grab a bottle from her bag?" he said. Nick smiled, and shook his head at how cute his boyfriend was. He couldn't wait until it was their baby. He smiled, and glanced lovingly at Jeff's eight month along bump. Any day now their little girl would join them, and complete their family. He grabbed the bottle from the bag, and handed it to Jeff.
Then he picked up the Wii remote, and turned on Netflix.
"What do you want to watch?" Nick asked Jeff.
"Can we watch Glee?" Jeff asked, eyes sparkling.
"Sure." Nick said.
"Well, I have to see what's going to happen now that Kurt is going back to his school. I mean, can Darren really stay at that prep school, and date Kurt?"
"You know I always liked Darren's friends there." Nick said.
"Who Curt and Riker?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, they remind me of us." said Nick, smiling at his boyfriend.
Jeff gazed lovingly back at him.
"Me too, Nicky. Me too."
After the episode was over, Nick looked over to find his boyfriend asleep, with a sleeping baby in his arms. He smiled softly, and took out his phone. He quietly snapped a picture, and got up to get a drink of water. He was just about to sit back down, when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door, and smiled when he saw Kurt and Blaine.
"Hey, guys." he said quietly.
"Hey, Nick. How was she?" Blaine asked.
"She was good." Nick said. "How was your guys evening?"
"It was great!" Kurt gushed. He started to tell Nick all about the restaurant Blaine had taken him too, but Nick cut him off when he started talking about the waiter's suits.
"Kurt, as fabulous as your evening sounds, I need you guys to take your sleeping baby, so I can take care of my sleeping babies."
"Awww, of course. I'm sorry, Nick. I get carried away sometimes." Kurt said, blushing.
"It's cool, Kurt." Nick said, smiling sleepily. He really wanted to go to bed. He let Kurt and Blaine in, and gave Blaine the bag. He, very gently, took Elizabeth from Jeff's arms, and gave him to Kurt. He walked them out, and said good night.
Nick picked Jeff up, and carried him to bed. He laid him down, and tucked the covers around him.
" 'Lizabeth?" Jeff asked sleepily.
"Kurt and Blaine picked her up." Nick assured him, as he crawled in his side of the bed.
"Night, Nicky." Jeff said, snuggling into the brunette's chest.
"Night, Jeffy." Nick said kissing his forehead.
