The Joys of Parenthood
Disclaimer: I'm not RIB, so I don't own Glee or any of the characters. If I did, I'd be rich and probably not writing fanfiction! This chapter has nothing to do with MPREG, but it does concern Daddy!Klaine so yay! Anyway, I own nothing.
Kurt's not sure how he got dragged into this, but the look on Blaine's face is pretty worth it considering. Grimacing at the feeling of the heavy mask on his face, he huffs out a breath and storms down the hall, his cape swishing behind him as he makes his way to the living room where the rest of his family is waiting.
Blaine is sitting on the couch, but you'd never know it was him if it weren't for the fact that Kurt himself was there when they picked out the costume. He's covered in fur from head to toe, his body looking like some sort of Sasquatch like creature. He knows what the character's name is... or at least he thinks he does; Blaine makes the damn noise that creature makes enough as it is. However, he can't think very well with this stuffy helmet on, so he doesn't bother, just steps into the room and places his hands on his hips, glaring beneath the mask though he knows no one can see it.
Next to Blaine sits their children, both of them decked out in their costumes, looking adorable as usual. Tracy's tugging at his vest and muttering to himself, his three-year-old logic slipping from his lips as he wonders when they're gonna leave because he's hungry and wants candy. Hepburn is bobbing her head to the music Sam's playing on his phone; it's some song that plays in the movie they're portraying this Halloween and Kurt's heard it a thousand times this week alone.
He'll be glad when the holiday passes.
"About time you got ready," Sam teases, standing up to smooth down his own outfit. He's the best friend/counterpart to Blaine's costume and he looks pretty good, if Kurt must say so himself. He'll never forgive the guy though... for implanting the costuming ideas in Blaine's head.
All Sam had to do was throw out the idea and Blaine had been buzzing about it ever since. Oh my god, Kurt, we have to do it! We have twins; it's perfect! Come on! I know the exact character you could be! Please, honey? Please? He pulled all the stops, that Blaine Anderson (Hummel.) From the puppy dog eyes to the surprise sexual favors, he was determined to dress up as the people Sam mentioned and there they were, the whole crew dressed as the cast of Star Wars.
Hepburn and Tracy are Leia and Luke, obviously. Hepburn's long curly brown hair has been braided and bunned to the sides of her head. She looks like a mini princess and Kurt adores how cute she looks. Tracy's wearing Luke Skywalker's jedi outfit, a lightsaber at his side on the sofa; he's patiently waiting for the moment he can go running through the streets with the damn sword and that's one thing Kurt's planning on Blaine to handle. He'll just walk along with Hepburn and leave Tracy and his excitement to his Wookie husband.
As it is, Blaine and Sam are Chewbacca and Han Solo respectively. They determined that being besties meant they needed to dress up as a movie super duo and since they're both Star Wars nerds, Han and Chewie were the perfect match. At first, Sam joked that Blaine could be Queen Amidala considering Kurt's being Darth Vader and Padme's a pretty big part in Luke and Leia's parenthood, but Blaine brushed him off, excited to be the furry sidekick (just so he could make those damn Wookie noises, Kurt was sure.)
"So are we ready? This helmet's stuffy," Kurt grumbles, looking towards his family for an answer. Blaine stands, doing a little dance before he reaches for his children's hands. Hepburn grabs her Star Wars pillowcase and then hands Tracy his, waiting for her brother to get his lightsaber before they can go. Once everyone's ready, the group heads towards the door. Burt and Carole are there to pass out candy while they're gone, so they say goodbye to them and allow Carole to snap a few pictures before they head out. Burt can't help but laugh, remembering his days as a youngster and having an obsession with Star Wars too. He makes sure to tell his grandchildren that and then Kurt rushes the family out of the house, complaining about how hard it is to breathe with his face covered.
By the time they're outside, he's huffing and puffing and Blaine's giggling at him. "You sound just like Darth Vader, honey."
"Keep laughing at me and you're going home with Sam."
Another snort escapes Blaine and he takes Kurt's hand, watching as Sam leads the terrible twosome towards another house and up their cement steps. Sam's careful with the twins – he is their godfather after all, and it makes Kurt's heart swell to know that they have such a great person in their life that loves their children. Hell, all of their friends do, but Sam's been there since Day One and he's been a champ about it.
"Can you believe this is their first Trick-or-Treat? I can't believe they're three already. Where did the time go?" Blaine asks, pausing at Kurt's side as they watch their kids ask for candy and thank the old woman who sprinkles a few lollipops and candy bars in their bags. They look so excited and Kurt smiles to himself. He also can't believe how much his babies have grown...
Tracy stops to say hello to another kid dressed as a Stormtrooper and then he shows the kid his Star Wars pillowcase. Hepburn also joins the conversation, the tiny group of kids giggling to each other about their costumes. It's only when the twins spin around and point and Kurt and Blaine (no, Darth Vader and Chewbacca) that Kurt realizes how much he really doesn't care about how bothersome that damn helmet is. Because if all of them being dressed like this brings smiles like that to his children's faces, then nothing else matters.
Squeezing Blaine's hand, he waits for Sam and the twins to come back and then they regale him with stories of the Stormtrooper and how excited they are for candy. Hepburn pulls a bubble gum flavored sucker from her bag to hand to Blaine and he takes it, unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth as they walk. The twins are humming the Cantina song with Sam as they go to another house and Kurt snaps a picture on his cell phone, quickly uploading the shot to Facebook for his out-of-state friends to see.
He captions it as: Happy Halloween from the Hummel-Andersons (and Sam!) May the force be with you!
He knows it's nerdy, but whatever. It's Halloween; he's with his husband, children, and one of his best friends, and he's having fun. Plus, there's the promise of peanut butter cups once he gets out of this damn costume and he's ready to stuff his face full of the candy that the twins can't eat.
That's a perk, right? Definitely. Grinning, he turns to Blaine and jokes in Vader's voice, "The perks of being Luke's father. Reese cups." For a second, he pauses and then says, "Happy Halloween, honey."
To which Blaine responds with a Wookie noise. Figures.
A/N: I hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I have the flu so my Halloween's been kinda lame, but oh well! I'm not a big Halloween person anyway, so it's not too big of a loss not being able to go anywhere! Anyway, if you're still gonna go out and celebrate this weekend - BE SAFE!
