A/N: Started our musical today. It's just...brilliant. I am dead on my feet though...It was also lovely to find all you Whovians in the reviews. I'm glad you liked the reference - there was going to be a 'don't wander off' one, but I thought it'd be a little overkill :P

Rating; G

Kurt winced as Jessica started up another round of crying, her ear splitting scream waking anything within a ten mile radius. Another cry joined her – Simon had woken with her cry and let out his own wail.

Blaine was up there with them, but two crying babies was horrible to deal with. Kurt hurried up the stairs and pulled the two year old girl from the crib, barely glancing at Blaine.

"What's up baby, what's going on?" he asked her as Blaine soothed Simon.

Kurt quickly left the room, taking Jessica downstairs. Their twins were easier to tame when they were apart. "What's wrong?" Kurt murmured as he paced the lounge room, ignoring the crying coming from upstairs.

Jessica's sobs had quieted down to whimpers almost as soon as she'd been picked up, but she struggled in Kurt's arms, rubbing her face against his shoulder.

"Are you teething again baby?" Kurt asked, wandering into the kitchen and pulling a teething ring out of the fridge.

Jessica snatched it out of Kurt's hand when he offered it to her, shoving it into her mouth.

Her whimpers stopped almost immediately.

"Feel better?" Kurt asked, rocking her slightly.

She nodded against his shoulder, her eyes finally starting to close.

Kurt smiled, gingerly settling on the couch as he tried not to disturb her, patting her back as Jessica cuddled into him.

He sighed, looking longingly toward the stairs.

The twins had turned two barely a week ago, but the 'terrible twos' had started long before then.

It was hard enough taking care of one baby, let alone two, and when both of them were fussy, and frequently sick, and refused to settle for anyone other than him or Blaine. The fact that they tended to set each other off didn't help either...

He hadn't been able to see Blaine properly in weeks.

Simon and Jessica were a lot easier to deal with when they were kept apart. Together, they'd fight, scream, cry... and make it very hard for anyone to settle them.

And when he and Blaine spent all of their time working, looking after the twins, or sleeping, there just wasn't enough time for them to concentrate on their relationship.

People had offered to babysit the twins, but sooner or later, whether it was ten minutes in, or an hour, something would happen and they'd get a panicked phone call. People just couldn't deal with the both of them.

Kurt jumped, startled out of his daze when Blaine stroked his hair. He regretted it almost immediately, as Jessica opened her eyes and whimpered.

"Shh..." Blaine whispered, stroking her hair.

Kurt held his breath as Jessica nuzzled her head against his chest, slipping easily back into sleep.

Kurt sighed in relief, turning as much as he could to look up at Blaine.

"Simon had a bit of a bad dream, I think." Blaine told him, answering the question in his eyes.

"Jessica is teething again." Kurt sighed, indicating the teething ring that Jessica had a death-grip on.

"I thought they had all of their teeth...?" Blaine murmured in confusion, leaning down to kiss Kurt's forehead.

"Apparently not. But she's asleep now, at least." Kurt sighed.

"They should probably sleep in different rooms for a little while then, at least until her tooth comes through." Blaine suggested, scooping his sleeping daughter off of Kurt's chest.

"Maybe we should really consider giving them their own rooms. Soundproof rooms." Kurt said sleepily. "They're not really babies anymore."

"Sounds good." Blaine grinned. "Give me a second to put her to bed, and I'll be back down, okay?"

Kurt nodded, snuggling back into the couch.

He was almost asleep by the time Blaine came back.

"Hey." Blaine whispered, leaning down to kiss him gently.

"Hey yourself." Kurt grinned, blinking sleepily up at him.

"Move over." Blaine instructed quietly, settling himself beside Kurt.

Kurt curled into his side.

"This is nice." he murmured. "We don't get enough time for us."

Blaine nodded, kissing his temple.

"The twins take up a lot of time." he yawned. "But I love them both to bits, and I'd miss them if I didn't have them. The only problem is that I miss spending time with you."

Kurt smiled.

"I miss you too."

They cuddled up to each other more – a mass of arms and legs, their faces inches apart. Quality time, not quantity.

They'd just begun to fall asleep when the crying started again, the first voice joined seconds later by another.

Kurt groaned, forcing himself upright.

"I'll get Simon if you get Jessica?"

"Deal."
