Yay it's finally here. Sorry it took so long. Work has been absolute chaos... and you know... sometimes real life just really sucks. I hope to have another chapter up before my trip next week, but if not, I do have 24 hours worth of travel time to kill. I hope you all like it. PS every notification I get on this makes me smile and forget about the crap that real life deals.

Wednesday came and Blaine was just as frustrated with work as ever. The only difference was that this time he wasn't going to lash out at anyone. Kurt met him in the city after work to take Liliana to her dance class, which was taught by Brittany, so they had two hours to chat without the constant interruption of a child.

The two found a spot on the floor in the corner of the mirrored room. The sat side by side, hips resting against each other's, with their legs casually stretched out in front of them.

"I'm surprised you're so willing to sit on the floor in those Ralph Lauren jeans, Kurt."

"I watched the lady clean it thirty minutes ago, besides I'm sitting on a bag. I may love you, but I'm not ruining $250 jeans for you."

Blaine looked at him with a shocked expression. "You paid $250 for those jeans?"

Kurt laughed. "God no. No, they are slightly irregular at the bottom hem of the leg so they were ridiculously discounted."

"How much did you pay for them?"

"That, my love, is a secret I'll never tell." Kurt replied playfully.

Blaine rolled his eyes and rested his hand on Kurt's thigh. The two watched as the girl spun, twirled, dipped and shimmied. After a while spent in a comforting silence, watching their little girl dance her heart out, Kurt broke the silence. "So, how's work?"

Blaine sighed heavily and tightened his grip on Kurt's hand. "Horrible. I have to find a new biller. I tried to be lazy and only take experience, but you see how much that failed. Ill train them, I just need someone who gets it."

Kurt nodded and sat silent for a moment, lost in thought. Suddenly it was like that little light bulb above kid head perked up. "I have an idea!" He said excitedly."

"Do tell."

"My friend Kiki is brilliant. You should give her a chance. She doesn't have any actual experience in medical billing, but she does handle front end bullshit. She's the nicest person ever, a really hard worker, and a struggling, single mom. You should give her a chance."

Blaine sat for a moment and thought about it. He hadn't really thought of hiring someone with no experience or training, but he was at his wits end. It would take a few weeks to train anyone on their system properly, so he may as well hire someone who isn't already tainted by another practice's bad habits.

"Um, okay, can she come in tomorrow for an interview?"

Kurt's face lit up. "Let me text her."

TO KIKI: Hey Ki, how much do you love me?"

After several minutes, those which he spent cuddled on Blaine's shoulder watching Liliana light up the room, he felt a vibration.

FROM KIKI: More than cheesecake. Y? What's up?

TO KIKI: Do you work tomorrow morning?

FROM KIKI: Um, no I'm off tomorrow. Why?

TO KIKI: I just got you a job interview tomorrow. What time can you be in Brooklyn?

FROM KIKI: ?

TO KIKI: Blaine is in dire need of a new billing person and I told him that you would be awesome.

FROM KIKI: But I don't have any experience in medical billing Kurt.

TO KIKI: I told him that, he's willing to train you. And I know for a fact if you get this job you will make way more than you do now. Just be yourself. He will love you.

FROM KIKI: Okay. I can be in Brooklyn any time.

"She said she can be in Brooklyn anytime. What is good for you?" Blaine thought over is schedule for a moment.

"Tell her to come at 10."

TO KIKI: Be there at 10. And dress fabulously.

FROM KIKI: As if I would ever be anything but.

Kurt put his phone away and enjoyed the next hour in silence, lost in Blaine's embrace, enjoying every smile that Liliana threw their way. She really was extremely talented. Kurt held his head high with pride. That's my girl.

Two hours later Kurt was just walking down to his apartment when he heard what sounded like a bark coming from behind his door. No, it couldn't be. We don't have a dog.

Hey unlocked the door and sure enough a short, fatter than he should be, dog run up to him and jumped on his legs. "Um, Santana what the fuck?"

Santana sauntered into the kitchen and patted her legs for the dog to come back to her. "Oh Kurt, good, I see you met Richard."

"Please tell me that you are just puppy sitting or something." She looked at him and just smirked.

"Nope." She replied, enunciating the 'P' with a pop. "I adopted him."

"Uh, why?" He replied sternly, placing his bag on the counter. He toed off his Italian leather shoes, making sure to pick them up so the dog didn't get any ideas.

"Oh, I was at the shelter looking for a new cat for Brittany and I saw him Kurt. He's perfect and nobody wanted him."

"What is wrong with him that nobody wanted him?" He asked flatly, pushing away the feelings that he was already developing for the dog. "What kind of dog is he anyway?" He asked looking down at the short, heavy dog.

"The said he's a Dachshund and terrier mix. But as for why nobody wanted him, and why I had to have him, take a look at his coloring on his back."

Kurt knelt down to take a closer look at the dog. The brown splotches on him covered his haunches and thinned out slightly as it went over his spine. It took a minute for him to realize the coloring. "Oh my God Santana! He has a dick on his back!"

Santana smiled triumphantly. "Hence the name Richard, Kurt. Really now. Think about it. And stop pretending you don't love it. You know you love some di-"

Kurt quickly cut her off. "Finish that sentence and I will make you take him back to the shelter." She rolled her eyes and stared at him indignantly. "Well I guess we have a new dog." He smiled slightly scratching behind the dog's ears. "But if he ruins any of my shit, you are replacing it, Satan."

Blaine flitted around his office nervously waiting for Kiki to arrive. He knew that being nervous about the possibility of hiring a person blindly was legitimate. But he also knew that Kurt trusted her and wouldn't suggest anyone who he thought wouldn't be good at the job. He heard Kurt speak to her on the phone the night before, right before they parted ways after dance class. He told her to be herself and let her awesome shine and she would be fine. If he was honest with himself, he was more nervous about meeting one of Kurt's friends. Even though they had been together for a while, they still haven't really met each other's friends outside of their close circle. He wanted to make a good impression on the girl.

A knock at the door stole his attention. Gloria stood before him with a hand full of papers. "There is a Kiki here to see you." Blaine smiled and thanked her. He gathered his bearings and left his disaster of an office to go meet Kiki.

He opened the door to the full waiting room and knew who he was looking for the second he laid eyes on her. The slim strawberry blonde stuck out that a fabulous sore thumb in the waiting room full of 'regular' people. He walked over to her and held his hand out to shake. "Hi Kiki, I'm Blaine. Come with me?" She smirked at him and stood as she shook his hand.

He knew that Kurt had something to do with her outfit the second she stood up. She was wearing a royal blue cap sleeve fitted dress, with a pencil skirt and peplum sheath. It was accented with a thin black belt around the waist and completed with a pair of black Miu Miu pointed toe stilettos, the heel covered in glitter. Blaine was in love.

"Hello Blaine, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to interview for your company." She was obviously nervous, but Blaine could tell more than anything she really wanted to get to know him; to know exactly who her friend was dating.

"Enough with the proper pleasantries," He said with a smile. "Come to the back with me and let's get down to business." He could feel Kitty's eyes burning a hole into Kiki's head. He shot her a look and continued walking. Watching Kiki sashay down the hallway made him smile. She was already shaping up to be a female form of his boyfriend. He loved it.

"Thanks for coming in Kiki, we'll see you on Monday at eight?" Blaine confirmed holding his hand out to the girl.

"Absolutely! Thank you so much for the opportunity!" She replied, practically bouncing in place. She waved by and quickly shuffled out of the door, phone already in hand. Blaine knew exactly who she was calling and five minutes later he got his confirmation when his cell phone rang.

"Hey babe."

"Ohmigod you hired her!" Kurt practically squealed in his ear.

"Yes, I did." He chuckled. "She was very nice, eager, and looks like a good worker. Annnndddd."

"And what?"

"And she reminds me of you."

He heard a giggle over the line. "Well I am rubbing off on her. I'm sure she looked fabulous today."

"Of course."

"Cuz you know that I am the one that redid her closet."

"I wouldn't expect anything less. So, babe, are you coming over today?"

"No, I can't." Blaine immediately felt disappointed.

"Oh."

"I'm sorry babe, but Santana went and adopted a dog and today is her late day at work. I have to get home to let him out."

"You got a dog?!"

"Yea, unfortunately. Wait until you see this thing. You're going to die."

"Die from cute?"

"I wish."

"Well I'll bring Lil by tomorrow and we can meet him. What's his name?"

"Richard." He replied flatly.

"You named your dog Richard?" He asked, honestly confused.

"Santana named him and you will see why tomorrow."

"Why am I scared?"

"You should be."

"Well listen babe, I have to get back to work, I'll call you tonight."

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you more."

Blaine pocketed his phone and exited his office. He was greeted at the door by a curious Gloria. "Hey Glor what's up?" He asked as he walked down towards the kitchen. Coffee, I need coffee.

Gloria followed him down the hall and closed the kitchen door after them. "So you hired her?"

"Yea. Problem?" He asked giving her a sideways glance.

"No, no problem. I was just curious as to why you even called in a girl for an interview who doesn't have experience or the education." She crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side and she leaned against the door; her maternal instincts on overdrive. She loved Blaine like a son and knew that he was completely overwhelmed right now.

"Well Kurt suggested her to me. She is his friend. Besides the whole experience and education thing hasn't worked in our favor in the past, so why not start fresh. She is a blank canvas. We can teach her and train her for how we do things. She is very nice, and she has a sixty day probationary period. If it doesn't work, we can find something else for her."

She sighed. "I suppose you have a point. But, I don't want to hear it if this blows back up into your face."

"Don't worry Glor. You won't." He said grabbing his mug and walking back towards his office.

The next 27 hours drug by for the two men. Kurt was ready to burn his workplace to the ground; everyone was acting like their feet were made of stone, which only made his job that much more difficult. He hated picking up other people's slack.

Blaine worked on getting as caught up with billing as much as possible so that Kiki wasn't thrown off the deep end when she started. Slowly, but surely, he was catching up, and hopefully the transition would be a smooth one. He was surely going to lose his mind if it wasn't.

But, finally, it was time to punch out of work for both men at the end of a long week. Kurt rushed home to start dinner for the unconventional family of four and Blaine rushed to pick up Liliana from the babysitter's. Six o'clock came and Blaine was walking into the Hummel-Lopez residence, daughter in tow.

"Mmm what smells so good?" Blaine asks as soon as he walked in the door. He smiled as the aroma filled his nostrils. Thank God his boyfriend was an amazing cook. He was sure he was going to end up starving soon.

"Baked chicken fingers, in my special breading recipe, home sweet potato fries, and corn on the cob." He said walking over to great the little girl and his boyfriend with a hug and a kiss each.

"Daddy Kurt! I missed you so much!" Liliana squealed.

"Hey baby! I missed you too. I can't believe I had to go a whole day without seeing your beautiful face." He said as he scooped the little girl in his arms and hugged her closely. Blaine watched the two interact with a smile plastered across his face. The pure joy that radiated out of Kurt every time he saw her made his heart melt.

"I know, crazy huh?" She stated and she rested her head on her shoulder for a moment of cuddling. "Where's Mommy?"

"Mommy is on her way home from work my love. She will be here soon. Do you want to eat dinner now or wait for Mommy?"

"Let's wait. I'm going to go play." She said and she hopped out of his arms. She skipped to Santana's room where her toys were kept when she wasn't there. The second she opened the door the men heard a screech.

"DADDIES! A DOG!" She yelled excitedly! "THEY HAVE A DOG!" She ran back into the kitchen at the short dog's heels.

"Ah, so here is the dog. So why, is he unfortunate?" Blaine asked, as he watched the little girl hug the dog.

"Just take a moment to take it in. Richard, come here boy." He said, slapping his thigh for the dog's attention. He was still getting used to his new name.

Blaine knelt down to the floor to pet the dog that scurried to his feet. He looked at him for a few months and he drew a blank. "I got nothing."

Kurt just rolled his eyes. "Blaine, look at his coloring, turn him around to face Lil."

Blaine scooted the dog around so that his docked tail was facing him. He looked at the coloring and he could have sworn that a light bulb went off above his head. "Oh my God Kurt. He has a d- he has a you-know-what on him!" He stuttered out, in complete shock.

"And you wonder why Santana decided to get a dog out of nowhere."

"This dog is…" He paused for a second to collect his thoughts. "Amazing. I'm thinking of having you guys move in just so I can claim this dog as my own. Wait until Coop sees this."

"Aww thanks babe, I see you only want me for my dog." Kurt said feigning hurt feelings.

"Oh stop it babe. I love you. And one day… one day I do want you to move in, when we are all ready." He said as he regained his footing and pulled his amazing boyfriend into his arms. "Signed, sealed, and delivered-"

"I'm yours." Kurt joined in and sang the last two words with him. "You're such a schmoe." Kurt said as ruffled Blaine's hair, putting a frown on his face.

"Hey, my hair." He protested, but Kurt quickly cut him off with a kiss.

It was that exact moment that Santana came barreling through the door. "I heard my baby girl in here. Where are you my love bug?"

"Mommy!" Could be heard from the other room, quickly followed by the click clack of the dog's nails on the floor and the pitter patter of Liliana's steps.

"Hey beautiful! I see you met our new dog. Do you like him?" She asked as she picked up her dopple ganger. "Oh yes, I love him. He's perfect. And beautiful."

"Oh yes sweetie. He is perfect and beautiful." She said with a smirk, as Blaine just stared at her with one eye brow raised. "What Oompa? I may like p-women," she quickly corrected herself "but I can still appreciate a nice big- spot." Kurt and Blaine just nodded and her self-corrections. She was definitely getting better at her language around the little girl.

"Well how about we eat now." Kurt said quickly, clapping his hands, effectively changing the subject.

As the little family sat around the island the next morning eating breakfast and sipping their much needed coffee, Blaine had an idea. "Hey guys, my brother is coming over and we are having a Just Dance Kids off, do you wanna come and help me beat my loser brother?"

Kurt and Santana looked at each other quickly and smiled. "You're on Anderson." Santana replied quickly. "I just have to run an errand first. I'll be there around two?"

"Sounds good, it will give us enough time to not have cramps after lunch."

"Blaine, are you really already trying to make excuses for the fact that you are going to lose horribly?"

"Uh no?" He tried to defend himself but he was failing miserably. "I will whoop any of y'all at Despicable Me."

"I wanna do Gummy Bear! It's my favorite!" Liliana chimed in and everyone just smiled.

"Absolutely baby, whatever song you want to do you can." Kurt replied with a smile. His daughter just
smirked before returning to her eggs.

"Oh you're on little girl." Santana quipped.

Before long Cooper, Kurt, Blaine, and Liliana sat in the living room of Blaine's place waiting for Santana to get back so they could start their competition. The Wii was set up with the names of the first four to start. The two with the least points would have to sit out as they next people went up.

"I am going to make all of y'all my bitches." Cooper exclaimed.

"Cooper! Watch your mouth; she doesn't need to learn those words." Blaine shot him a look of anger and turned quickly to see if the little girl was paying attention.

"Sorry, my bad, all I am saying is that I am a Broadway star-"

"Off Broadway." Blaine was quick to throw in.

"Whatever. Anyway I am professionally trained. I am going to own all of you."

Kurt just scoffed. "Don't count on it. I can dance very well and Santana has moves you've never seen. We are going to beat you into this faux suede lazy boy."

"Hey! It's not fake!" Blaine said as he caressed the arm of his beloved chair.

"Blaine, stop. Yes it is." Kurt deadpanned, leaving Blaine to sulk in his chair.

"You guys need to stop, because we all know that I am perfect and I am going to win." The miniature brunette piped in.

"Yay Blaine, good job on the confidence building." Kurt laughed.

"Hey, I can't help it. It's in her genetics."

"Well hey, being perfect is genetic." Blaine and Cooper just rolled their eyes as they heard a knock at the door. "Must be Santana. Do you want me to get it?" Kurt asked as he attempted to get to his feet.

"No, Coop can get it." Blaine waved in Cooper's direction.

"Hey, why do I have to get up?" He sulked.

"Cuz you cursed in front of my kid. Now go." He sighed and quickly ran over to the door to let Santana in.

"Oh shit, I didn't realize you were this short." Cooper said seriously as Santana just looked at him with a look of confusion.

"Um of course I'm short; I'm only 5'5 and a half. I'm just not wearing my heels today." She quickly walked past Cooper to the living room where the other three sat.

"Hey boys, wanna see what I got?" She asked with a little pep in her step.

"Yea, what it is?" Kurt asked genuinely curious. Santana slipped out of her flip flops and put her foot on the table. The two immediately noticed the tattoo that graced delicately across the top of her foot.

Both men gasped. It was absolutely beautiful. It was a treble clef with a pair of ballet slippers tied to the bottom, lining the left outer loop of the clef was a single word – with more meaning than anything in the entire word to her – etched in a beautiful cursive: Liliana.

Kurt was rendered speechless momentarily leaving Blaine to speak first. "San, that's amazing. It's… perfect." He said voice just above a whisper.

Liliana who had just decided to join the conversation walked over and spoke next. "Ohh Mommy, that's my name, and those shoes are like my dance shoes. But, what's that?" She asked pointing to the treble clef.

"It's called a treble clef, it's a music note. This whole thing is for you, you love to dance and you love to sing. So it's just for you."

"Oh Mommy that's beautiful."

"What's beautiful?" Cooper asked, completely late to the conversation.

"My new tattoo." Cooper walked over to inspect the art.

"Oh wow, that's really nice. Anyway, let's get started on this game, I'm ready to bring the pain."

The three adults just rolled their eyes at the older man and Santana's attention returned to her best friend. "Kurt, you didn't say anything. What do you think of the tattoo?" She asked with worried eyes.

Kurt just hugged her and whispered in her ear. "I love it, it's perfect." Santana smiled and kicked off her other flip flop.

"Let's do this losers."

"Let's all make a pact right now, right here, that this never leaves this room. I'm humiliated." Cooper stated, sunk into Blaine's beloved chair.

Kurt just laughed. It was rather embarrassing though. After two hours full of songs like Despicable Me, Five Little Monkeys, I'm a Gummy Bear, Dynamite, Barbara Ann, Crocodile Rock, and Istanbul – Liliana had beat them all. The four adults paled in comparison to the little girl. And not for a lack of trying, but how do you mess up Crocodile Rock?

"Hey, I was off my game, my foot was sore." Santana tried to reason, but the boys would hear none of her excuses.

"My behind Santana. We all just sucked. She's just better than we are." Blaine added.

"Okay fine. She is my daughter after all. So we all knew that she would be perfect." She smiled as she looked at the little girl who was passed out on the carpet in front of the TV. She wore herself out. "But I'm still with Cooper. This can never be spoken in real life. How do four grown ass adults lose to a four year old in a children's video game?" She seriously asked.

The three men shrugged in embarrassment and decided not to share their embarrassing videos of each other with the world. The last thing any of them wanted was for their friends to see how embarrassingly bad they all had their asses kicked by the little girl with the wavy brown hair.

Santana leaned into Kurt, who in turn leaned into Blaine. So this was what it was like to have a complete family. The three adults on the couch smiled contently to themselves and just lost themselves in the serenity of the moment.

I already have the rest of the story mapped out in my head, and even began writing the last chapter... cuz you know when inspiration hits... Serious thanks to my main hoe BritBoJangles - without her this would not be here. I am slightly sad still that she can't come with me to LA in June. Until next time!
