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: I FINISHED MY PAPER! The presentation on isn't quite together yet, but I still have 24 hours to get that figured out. So yeah, enjoy!
Cake
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Nick asked, glancing at Jeff as he started to put the little cake down.
"It's a tradition… besides, he has to get a bath after this anyway," Jeff replied with a smile as he watched little Eli staring at the white mound in front of him. They sat there for a few minutes, with the camera ready, waiting for the little boy to decide to dig into his birthday cake.
"He's not doing anything…" Nick began. Jeff handed the camera over to his husband, getting a little bit of the cake's frosting onto his finger and doing his best to touch it to Eli's tongue. The baby really didn't want anything to do with the stuff, trying to pull away from Jeff's finger. It was kind of cute, and Nick snapped a couple of pictures of the little boy trying to avoid the sweet concoction. "I don't think he wants it…"
"He'll want it once he's tasted it." Jeff kept trying, finally managing to get some on the boy's lips so that he could take a taste. Suddenly the little boy's eyes widened, and a hand smashed into the cake so that a fist full of the stuff went into little Eli's mouth. "Told you."
The two men watched with smiles on their faces as Eli continued to shove the cake in his mouth. "Okay, I give. It was a good idea."
"Did you get enough pictures? We're supposed to send some to the grandparents, and you know how my mom is about pictures…" Jeff commented.
"I think there are about 30 pictures of Eli and his birthday cake…" Nick began, as the little boy started leaning over to put his face into the cake instead of his fist. Jeff immediately reached out to hold him back, laughing.
"Okay, little man… I think that's a signal that you've had enough…"
