“So...when do I get to properly meet...” Blaine trailed off, not actually knowing the baby's name.
“Alyson.” Kurt supplied.
“When can I properly meet Alyson?” Blaine asked again.
“Whenever she wakes up. She'll probably start crying because I haven't fed her yet.”
“How old is she?”
“Five months...” Kurt said awkwardly.
“Oh.”
“Oh?” Kurt asked amusedly.
“I kind of expected her to be older,” Blaine shrugged. “Then again, she looked tiny when I saw her earlier.”
“She's actually kind of small for her age,” Kurt said, about to continue when he heard high pitched sobs coming from one of the rooms. “Told you,” He smirked, going into the room and returning with Alyson. He walked into the kitchen without saying anything, but returned a few minutes later, holding a bottle to the baby's mouth. He sat down next to Blaine on the sofa and the curly haired teen was seemingly frozen in place. “It's okay to look at her you know. She doesn't shoot lasers out of her eyes.”
Blaine slowly scooted closer on the sofa and reached out a hand, smiling softly when the baby grabbed at it, looking at him with wide eyes.
“She looks like you.” Blaine pointed out as Kurt placed the now empty bottle on the floor and sat Alyson up, gently rubbing her back.
“Do you wanna hold her?” Kurt asked.
“Okay,” Blaine said nervously, taking the little girl into his arms, cradling her to his chest as she sat on his lap. She sat quietly for a few moments, just staring a Blaine, before starting to cry. “Kurt.” Blaine whined worriedly.
“Give me a second,” Kurt said, rushing into the other room and returning with a small white bunny. “This is her favourite, she's had it since she was born. Just play with her with it and she should calm down.” He said, handing the toy to Blaine.
Blaine didn't know what to do with the teddy at first, until he ended up playing peek-a-boo with it. He held the toy in front of his face, before pulling it down and making an adorable 'boo' noise in a baby voice. Alyson stopped crying immediately, looking at Blaine with an amazed expression until he did it again and she let out a soft giggle.
“Kurt, she's giggling.” Blaine said happily, grinning at Kurt before repeating his actions.
“You're adorable.” Kurt laughed, pulling his phone out of his pocket and taking a picture of the two.
Blaine continued playing peek-a-boo with the little girl for a while until she became restless and started kicking her feet around, making grabby hands for the bunny.
“Can you keep her occupied for like one minute?” Kurt asked. “She has a little play mat I can get from her bedroom.”
Blaine nodded, handing the little girl the toy and bouncing her on his knee until Kurt returned and set the mat up on the floor. Kurt took Alyson from Blaine and carefully laid her on the mat, shaking the mobile that was dangling over it and making little 'what's that?' noises until she grabbed the plastic pieces hanging from the mobile and began to play with it. Kurt joined Blaine back on the sofa and sat awkwardly, watching the baby play with her toy.
“I can tell you're itching to play with her.” Blaine smiled.
“I feel rude just letting you sit her while I play with her.” Kurt admitted.
“Who said I would just be sitting here? I wanna play too.” Blaine pouted teasingly.
“You're a dork,” Kurt laughed, taking Blaine's hand and pulling him off the sofa. “Come on.”
They both sat on opposite sides of the baby, taking turns shaking the mobile as Alyson tried to catch all of the plastic shapes in her tiny hands at the same time but failed as they were too big. Blaine smiled at the adorable little gurgling noises she was making and the baby words she was babbling.
“Do you want anything to eat?” Kurt asked Blaine after a while. “I've already eaten but you came here quite early and I didn't know if you'd had anything.”
“Sure.” Blaine said, laughing slightly at Kurt's rambling.
Kurt made Blaine a sandwich and picked the baby up from the floor while Blaine sat on the sofa and ate.
“Let's get you changed into your pyjamas, Munchkin.” Kurt said, lifting Alyson in the air, kissing her nose as she came back down and eliciting a giggle from the five month old. He pulled a pair of pyjamas out of a changing bag and laid the baby on a changing mat before beginning to put her into her pyjamas. Once she was changed, Kurt grabbed her tiny feet and made 'om nom nom' noises while he pretended to eat them, causing Alyson to squirm around with laughter.
Kurt picked the baby up again and sat next to Blaine on the sofa, plopping her down on his lap and wrapping his arms around her tiny body as she chewed on the ear of her bunny.
“Can I be honest about something?” Blaine asked, putting his plate on the table next to the sofa.
“Mhm.” Kurt hummed, giving Blaine his full attention even though Alyson was trying to pull his finger off of his hand.
“When you first told me you had a baby I thought it was kind of weird and didn't know how to react, but now that I've seen you with her it seems like the most natural thing in the world.”
“Would you believe me if I told you I'd had no experience with babies before Alyson?”
“Not one bit.” Blaine said, eliciting a laugh from Kurt.
“Well it's true. I freaked out like crazy when she was born.”
“But you're so good with her!” Blaine said incredulously.
“It kind of just came naturally...well, after the first week. I'd only just moved here, I was sleep deprived and had absolutely no idea what I was doing.”
“You know you're kind of amazing, right?” Blaine said truthfully. Kurt just stared at him for a few moments, smiling softly, until Alyson let out a happy squeal and pulled their attention to her.
“Okay,” Kurt said after taking a deep breath. “I was gonna watch The Little Mermaid with this little one...wanna join?”
“Hell yeah,” Blaine laughed. “I love that movie.”
“Okay...I'm gonna go get changed, um...do you wanna stay? It's just you've already missed your curfew and I don't wanna get you into trouble.”
“You're adorable when you ramble,” Blaine said accidentally, causing himself and Kurt to blush. “Uh...yeah, I'll stay if it's okay with you.”
“I'll bring you something to change into when I'm done,” Kurt said, sitting Alyson on the sofa and disappearing into his bedroom before returning with a spare pair of clothes for Blaine to wear. “The bathroom is that door there,” He said, pointing to one of the rooms. “There are towels in there if you need them I'm assuming you wash that gel out of your hair before you sleep.”
“You assumed right,” Blaine laughed. “Thank you.”
And that's how Blaine found himself snuggled under a blanket with the boy he had a huge crush on with the cutest baby ever squished in between them, watching The Little Mermaid.
