Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, nor do I completely own Nick and Jeff (although I'm pretty much creating their personalities myself since we haven't gotten to know them too well on the show).
A/n: So this is just cute… someone gave me this word, and I've been trying to come up with something good to do with it. Right now, since I have very limited battery on my computer, I came up with a great idea. Enjoy!
Kids
Nick couldn't help being nervous; he and Jeff had been talking about having kids for a while now, but the idea of actually doing something about it was a little… daunting. So they had stuck to planning the little details – how they would arrange for childcare when they had to work, which room they would put the baby in. It had taken months and months of planning those details before Nick and Jeff had felt comfortable actually contacting anyone about surrogacy.
Now that call was made and they were just waiting on all of the paperwork. Which meant that they just had one more thing they had to think about… neither Nick nor Jeff had ever actually taken care of any kids before.
"Are you sure you two are going to be okay with this? We can always cut out the play, just go get dinner and then come pick Mei and Chloe up…" Wes began.
"We wouldn't have agreed to this if we didn't think we were ready," Jeff replied. Nick nodded, picking up the smaller of the two girls out of her carrier. Chloe was already wandering around the living room of the apartment, looking at everything with a two-year-old's curiosity.
"Besides, we have to get used to caring for kids if we're going to have one of our own soon… we can handle this," Nick replied. He couldn't help hurrying Wes and his wife, Melinda, out of the apartment before he turned to Jeff.
"Are we really ready for this?" Jeff asked.
"It looks like we're about to find out."
Six hours and several near-tantrums later, Nick and Jeff collapsed on the couch, with Jeff curling up closer to Nick as the older man wrapped his arms around Jeff's shoulders.
"God… was that seriously only six hours?"
"Hey, I thought we did pretty good," Nick commented. "Everyone survived, and I'm pretty sure we escaped with our sanity intact. Besides, it won't be exactly like that when we have our own kids… we'll know how to handle two-year-old temper tantrums by the time we get to that point because we'll know our kid. And we can figure things out as we go." Nick leaned over and pressed a kiss against the top of Jeff's head.
"So… are we ready to do this? Are we ready to have kids?"
"I think I want it more now than ever before," Nick admitted, smiling. He watched as Jeff nodded.
"I think you're right… I don't think I can imagine our future without trying to have kids now…"
