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: This was one of the hardest words on my list, because until I started writing this I actually had no idea how I was going to use it. The trouble with words that have double meanings is that sometimes I don't know which meaning you all intended, so I just have to guess. But I think this is cute.
Lilac
"I'm still not sure about this paint color…" Jeff began, stepping back away from the wall he had been working on painting. "I mean, yeah it's not the traditional color for a little girl. But…"
"But what?" Nick asked.
"I still think it screams girl… and we said that we didn't want to do anything that was too girly, just in case she doesn't like it."
"Jeff, she's going to be a newborn baby… she isn't going to care what color her room is for at least a couple of years. If she even cares then," Nick replied. Jeff sighed.
"I know… but I thought we'd said we were going to go with something a little more gender-neutral."
"You're the one that picked out lilac."
"It was supposed to be a joke," Jeff replied, sighing. "I mean, I do like the color… I just didn't expect you to actually go out and buy it."
"Well, I thought this was the color you really wanted, so I bought it. But if you don't like it, I can go buy something different… there was that yellow we both liked, or we could go with a gray…"
"No, we've already paid for this. And I do like it… I just wasn't expecting it when you said you'd gotten the paint," Jeff replied. He looked back at the wall. "It's just so…"
"Lilac?"
"Yeah. Lilac."
"Dada, it purple… not wiwac." Jeff turned as he heard the familiar little voice from the doorway, signaling that Elliot had woken up from his nap. "Sissy wike purple?"
"We don't know, buddy. But we hope your sissy will like purple," Nick replied, kneeling down to pick the boy up.
"Dada… what wiwac?"
