"Yes, dear?" Kurt narrowed his eyes at the term of endearment,

"First, don't call me 'Dear" again until we're thirty. Second, the hospital called, we really need to pay that bill." That caught Blaine's attention, and the boy looked up from feeding his niece,

"How much?" Kurt sighed and buttoned a squirming Rian's onesy.

"Ten thousand." Blaine pressed his lips into a thin line and breathed in and out slowly for a few minutes. Kurt waited and watched as he saw panic in Blaine's eyes,

"I've been saving everything from working at the tire shop since Burt has stopped allowing me to pay rent now that we're engaged, and I've got about two thousand." Kurt nodded and placed Rian under the play set with the hanging toys,

"I was going to apply to the new A&W that's being built down by the school. What do you think?" Blaine nodded,

"I think it's a great idea. But what are we going to do about Rian while we're both working?" Kurt chewed his lip and sighed. He really didn't like the only option, and he knew Blaine hated it too. But it seemed like the only available choice at the moment,

"Day care."

"No."

"But Blaine we really have no other choice." Blaine sighed and watched Rian play with the little hanging mirror,

"You know how I feel about someone else raising my son-"

"Blaine, they won't be raising him. We'll get him back right after the first one is done with work."

"What if we miss one of his mile stones?"

"He wont start to walk or talk for a little while yet. And I'm sure they're not going to potty trian him, and that's way off in the distance." Blaine sighed heavily and placed Lianna so he could burp her,

"What about this one? What are we going to do about her? Dave works forty hours at the shop like I do, and Collin isn't capable of watching her."

"Maybe it would be good to have them stay together." Blaine nodded and chewed his lip,

"We'll talk to Carole and Burt at dinner, and see how they would go about choosing a place for them." Kurt sat on the floor next to Blaine's chair and rested his head on Blaine's thigh,

"Did you have a bad experience at a day care? you're more against it than me,"

"I never went to day care, I had a nanny -Elsa- she was just as distant as my parents." Kurt nodded and picked Blaine's hand up from where it was resting on his leg and kissed his knuckles.

"It'll work out fine, we can stop in and check on them on our breaks."

"Okay."

Dinner was going as normal, Burt was happy that Kurt was allowing him to have steak and mashed potatoes and Carole was happy Burt wasn't moaning about having to eat a salad as well. Finn was just finished talking about how he and Rachel are back on now, and Kurt was rolling his eyes. They broke up after Rachel made out with some guy at a cast party at NIADA,

"In her defense, Kurt, she was drunk."

"Oh, yes, My bad. She was plastered so she can make out with random guys. Sorry." Kurt said, his voice laced with sarcasm. He was Rachels friend, but the girl could be so fucking self absorbed, it made his brain hurt sometimes.

"No problem, dude." Kurt sighed at Finns obliviousness, and continued to eat his potatoes.

Blaine had just finished eating and was clearing his place. After he came back he sat down and took Kurts free hand under the table on his knee,

"Hey, Burt-"

"I told you to stop calling me that, kid. You're family. You can call me dad." Blaine smiled and nodded,

"I forget. Sorry."

"It's 'kay. So what were you going to say?"

"Well the hospital bills are piling up from the pregnancy and birth, and Kurt is going to apply to A&W, so we were wondering if you had any suggestions on picking a day care? Kurt and I are both really skeptical, and we want to make sure we pick the right one." Burt and Carole nodded and Dave looked up,

"What about Lianna?"

"We were thinking she should join Rian at the day care. Since you work the same hours as I and Burt do, and Collin is still not there."

"Sounds like a good idea. I liked day care when I was little. Made a lot of friends." Kurt smiled that at least one of them had a positive day care experience.

Kurt came home the next day after going to the trailer beside where they were working on the A&W bulding and filling out the apllication,

"Hey babe, how'd it go?" Kurt took a drooling Rian from Blaine and whiped off the spittle with his thumb and wiped it on his jeans -he'd stopped wearing designer clothes after he found out how messy parenting was- and smiled,

"it went great. I filled out the app and has my first interview, they said they'd be calling me soon for the second one." Blaine smiled and shook Lianna's formula,

"That's awesome! So how are the people?"

"The owner -Jim- is super nice, and the General manager Cindy has great hair and is really nice too."

"You would notice her hair."

"But of course." Blaine placed a kiss on Kurt's lips and the latter smiled into the kiss as Blaine pulled away and whispered,

"I love you so much." Kurt kissed Blaine's nose,

"I love you too. Always will."

"Glad to hear it."
