Prompt: Dr. Kelso - "Nothing worth having comes easy"-'Scrubs'
Carole looked in disbelief at the two arguing teens. All that had been asked was what kind of pizza they would like. Instead of a normal conversation, Kurt and Finn had immediately began arguing about what pizza toppings were better. Who knew deciding what to get on a pizza could be so difficult.
"Suddenly, raising one kid as an only parent seems like such a simple task," Burt said, looking over at her, his thoughts going in much the same direction as his fiancé.
"Doesn't it?" Carole said in agreement. "What do you want to do?" she asked, waving a hand toward the two arguing teens.
"Two pizzas? Let them each pick a topping. I've got to stick to the salad anyway, though don't be surprised if I try to sneak a slice past Kurt."
Carole smile. "I can eat anything except anchovies, and it's the one topping I haven't heard either of them mention, so I think I'm safe."
Burt nodded, and with a decision made stuck two fingers in his mouth and let out a shrill whistle. Finn and Kurt stopped arguing and looked at the older man.
"Enough of the arguing," Burt told them. "I'll order two medium pizzas, so each of you can have what you want."
"Pepperoni," Finn replied instantly.
Kurt made a face at Finn's suggestion. "Mushroom and sausage," Kurt replied, which wasn't a surprise to Burt as that was always the toppings his son wanted on the pizza.
"Okay, now why don't the two of you go find something to do until the pizza gets here," Burt suggested.
The two teens left, and Burt turned toward the phone to call in their order. As he lifted the receiver from it's cradle the sounds of a new argument floated in from the living room.
"Maybe us getting married isn't such a good idea. Those two can't seem to agree on anything," Carole said, with a sigh.
"All siblings argue and fight, there's no reason to expect those two to be any different, especially after they've been only children for seventeen years," Burt replied logically. "If my parents survived me and my siblings then we can survive those two until they graduate."
Carole nodded, recalling the fights she used to have with her sisters as a child. "You're right. Besides, nothing worthwhile is ever easy," she added with a smile even as she headed out of the kitchen to go play referee before the two teens gave her a headache.
