Kurt was shocked how quickly the year went. Between working three days a week and a new baby – July had suddenly rolled around again and Jayden was 11 months old. Burt and Carole were scheduled to leave a day after his first birthday, and Kurt needed to find a nanny or a babysitter for Jayden. One morning, Finn, who had finally come to his senses and got back together with Rachel, came to visit Kurt and Jayden. Burt and Carole had disappeared somewhere, and the boys were eating their breakfasts quietly when the doorbell rang.
“Hey,” Finn walked through the door casually. “What’s happening?”
“Aren’t you meant to be sleeping now,” Kurt asked. “It’s 8am. I used to never see you before noon.”
Jayden, who couldn’t quite say much more than ‘Daddy’, was excited to see his uncle Finn. Kurt and Finn could tell this from his expression, and Finn scooped the boy up after he finished his breakfast.
“Hey JD!” Finn said excitedly. “You want to hang out with Uncle Finn today?”
“Is JD his nickname?” Kurt asked.
“Yes,” Finn smiled. “And it’s an awesome nickname.”
Kurt suddenly knew what Finn was doing there. Burt and Carole had to go somewhere for the day and Kurt had a meeting with his boss to discuss what would happen when he came back in August.
“Can we spend the day together daddy?” Finn said comically as Jayden looked at Kurt. Since he was back in New York, Finn had spent a lot of time with Burt, Carole, Kurt and Jayden and had learnt how to change diapers.
“Fine,” Kurt huffed. “But can you not give him Junk Food, and if you’re going to the park, make sure he wears a hat and sunscreen. He has my skin tone, and that is awful for sunlight, okay. His bottle for before his nap is in the fridge and diapers are on the side of the change table.”
“Okay.” Finn smiled as Kurt scooped up Jayden to say goodbye.
“Can you be good for Uncle Finn,” Kurt put his hand through the boy’s blonde hair and kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll be back later.”
When Kurt got back, Jayden and Finn were just about to go to the park, so Kurt joined them. Lucky he got back in time because Finn forgot where Jayden’s hat was, and was going to leave without it.
“Mum said something about a nanny or babysitter after they leave?” Finn commented, as he pushed Jayden on the swing.
“Yeah,” Kurt answered. “I need someone looking after him while I am working. I can’t exactly leave him home alone three days a week.”
“Have you found anyone?” Finn asked. “Because if you haven’t I know someone.”
“You know a babysitter?” Kurt asked.
“Me,” Finn commented, pushing Jayden. “I’m only working in the garage on a Monday, Thursday and Saturday, and it’s better than me sitting around the apartment all day watching Transformers or something.”
“You would spend your days off babysitting?” Kurt asked. “Also, why aren’t you working full time?”
“They only offered me part time,” Finn commented. “But they said it could go up to full time, depending on my performance or something.”
“It’s yours,” Kurt commented. “But only until they offer you the full time position, okay.”
“Deal!” Finn said excitedly as Kurt rolled his eyes, knowing this would bide him more time to find a babysitter.
Jayden’s first birthday came around and Kurt wanted it to be special. Carole and Burt were sitting the living room with as many of the New Directions that could turn up. This included Mercedes, who was only seeing the one year old for the first time.
“He looks like you.” Mercedes smiled as Jayden, who had just begun walking two weeks prior, found himself a place on Finn’s lap.
Everyone was looking at the small boy who had blue-green eyes, much like Kurt’s, a nose like Kurt’s, Kurt’s smile and his pale skin. The only thing that wasn’t Kurt’s, was the dark blonde hair that had finally started growing rapidly, much to Kurt’s satisfaction. The boy was yawning, so Carole and Finn took him for his afternoon nap and they would have cake afterwards.
“Where did he get the blonde from?” Brittany asked.
“The hot girl he had sex with,” Puck commented as everyone glared at him. “Finn told me that.”
“Speaking of sex,” Santana piped up. “Have you even seen any hot ass to tap yet?”
“No,” Kurt commented. “And do you always have to put it that way?”
“There have been no guys?” Rachel asked.
“A couple of guys have asked me out,” Kurt began as everyone smiled. “But when they hear that I have a child, they run ten kilometres in the other direction. I just have to face it’s going to be me and Jayden for a while.”
Everyone in the New Directions grumbled. This was the last thing they wanted for Kurt. He spent years being pushed into lockers and dumpsters and they knew how lonely he was. They were all his best friends, and they wanted him to finally find a guy. Kurt got up to check on Jayden and his parents and when he left the room, everyone huddle together.
“We have to find him someone,” Santana commented. “That’s just depressing.”
“I agree.” Quinn chimed in.
“So,” Puck smiled. “We have a plan. We have to find Kurt the best guy ever, who isn’t afraid of kids.”
“It’s on.” Santana and everyone else cheered quietly.
