"Kurt, you sitting there touching it isnt going to help the situation," Blaine said, looking at his husband.

"I know," Kurt sighed, "Its just hard,"

"Youre telling me," Blaine replied, sitting on the bed next to Kurt, "But I still stand by the fact that I dont want to be the one to do it,"

"And why not?"

"Kurt," Blaine sighed, "Weve been through this, this is a big thing, not just for us, but for us as parents," Blaine sighed again as he reached out and placed a gentle hand on Ellas cheek, who was currently asleep in Kurts lap, "And I kind of want to go through this as a parent and not as a hairdresser right now," Kurt nodded in understanding as Blaine finished.

"Ok," he said with a whisper, leaning over to press a kiss to Blaines cheek, "But who?"

"Kelly," Blaine replied, "Shes good with kids,"

"Right, tomorrow morning then?" Kurt asked.

"Tomorrow morning," Blaine nodded in agreement.

Tomorrow morning came and both men found themselves with butterflies in their stomachs as they pushed their daughters in their own strollers, down the street to the salon.

"Morning boys," Kelly sung out as they entered the salon. Kelly had come a long way in the industry since signing on as Blaines assistant over six years ago, "I thought that you werent working today Blaine?" Kelly asked, looking between the two nervous men.

"Im not," Blaine answered, "However, I was wondering if you were free for the next half hour?"

"Sure am, first client isnt in for another forty five minutes. How come?"

"Ok, so today Kelly, I wont be speaking to you as your boss, Ill be speaking to you as a rather nervous father who has brought his three year old in for her first haircut,"

"Oh Blaine," Kelly replied, her smile going soft, "Youll be fine. You give first haircuts all the time,"

"I know, but this time its our daughter,"

"And how are you holding up Kurt?" Kelly asked, turning her attention to Kurt, who was now holding a sleeping Juliette.

"Im ok," Kurt nodded.

"Ok, shall we get started?"

"Ella, honey, would you like to come with Papa?" Blaine asked as he crouched down to look his eldest daughter in the eye.

"Where?" Ella asked.

"Were going to get your haircut sweetie,"

"Ok," Ella replied, lifting her arms for Blaine to pick her up.

"Well that was easy," Blaine whispered to Kurt as he passed him on the way to Kellys station.

"Ok Ella, would you like to sit on Papas lap or do you want to sit all by yourself?" Kelly asked with a smile.

"By myself," she said as she wiggled down from Blaines arms and climbed up into the chair, waiting for Kelly to cover her with the cape.

"Now do you know what this does Ella?" Kelly asked as she fastened the cape behind Ellas neck.

"Yes, it stops the hairs from making me itchy. Daddy wears one when he sits is Papas chair. But I dont want my hair like Daddys. Is that why Papa isnt doing it?"

"Shes very inquisitive isnt she," Kelly laughed as she picked up her spray bottle and began to dampen Ellas hair.

"She gets that from both of us," Kurt laughed, standing off to the side, still cradling a sleeping Juliette, Blaine nodded, taking a seat at his station which was right next to Kellys.

"Right fathers, what are we doing?" Kelly asked as she began combing through Ellas, now, wet hair, which fell a couple of inches below her shoulders.

"Blaine," Kurt gestured indicating to his husband to fill in the details.

"Well, obviously shes never had a haircut before, so her ends are still very wispy, so if it we me, Id take off a good few inches to even everything out and to insure that it will grow out to be thick and healthy,"

"SO is that what were doing then? A good few inches?" Kelly asked, indicating with her comb where Ellas hair could be cut to, which was just below her jaw line. Blaine gulped at the hair underneath the comb which had the potential to end up on the floor any minute.

"Maybe not quite so short. Well stick with a bob, but maybe a medium length bob," Blaine said, taking a comb from his own station and showing Kelly the new length, just above Ellas shoulders.

"Ok then. Would you like me to tie the ends so that you can keep the hair for her baby book?"

"Yes please," Kurt replied. Kelly smiled and took a small elastic band from the top of her tray before combing Ellas hair into a low ponytail and securing it with the band.

"Ok Ella, I need you to keep very still for me ok?"

"Ok," Ella replied with a smile, slightly bowing her head. Kurt looked at Blaine and winked, they both knew that Ella had picked that up from watching Blaine cut Kurts hair so many times over the last year. Ella liked to come and sit on their bed and watch Blaine cut Kurts hair. She was always so amazed that her Dad would sit down looking one way and then when he stood up, he would look very different. She would also giggle at how soft and yet prickly his new hair felt under her touch.

"Here we go," Kelly said while picking up her scissors. She pulled the ponytail downwards slightly to create tension and then before Blaine could blink, he scissors sunk into Ellas hair and began to cut just above the band. Blaine watched as just under three inches of his daughters beautiful brown hair was cut off and handed to him. He couldnt believe how different it felt to be on the other end of the haircut. It was usually him reassuring nervous parents and struggling children that everything would be ok, and now, here he was, his own daughters tiny ponytail resting in his hand. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Ella giggle beside him as she moved her head from side to side, causing her shorter hair to swish around her shoulders.

"This is fun," she said as she giggled again.

"Youre going to look gorgeous Ella, but I just need you to hold still for a little longer ok," Ella nodded as Kelly started to section off her hair. Kelly worked quickly and methodically as she cut Ellas hair to the length specified by Blaine. She knew that you had to move fast before the child began to get bored or agitated.

"There you go Ella," Kelly said as she switched her blow dryer off and moved to undo the cape from around her neck, "Looking as beautiful as ever," Ella leaned forwards in the chair to inspect her new haircut. It fell to just above her shoulders, still giving Kurt and Blaine the option to tie it up and get it off of her face if need be.

"It looks so much healthier," Kurt said as he leaned in to give Kelly a one armed hug, "Thanks Kelly,"

"Thank you Kelly," Ella said from the chair.

"Youre welcome sweetie," Kelly said with a smile as she patted Ellas shoulder, "Thank you for being such a good client,"

"Youre welcome,"

"Thank you so much Kelly," Blaine said as he stood and pulled Kelly in for a hug, "You did a really fantastic job,"

"Well, I learned from the best," she said with a wink, "Would you like a bag for her ponytail?"

"No thanks, Ive got a few in my station," Blaine smiled as he turned to his own station and pulled a small bag from one of the drawers under the counter.

"Daddy, Papa, how do I look?" Ella asked with a grin as she moved her head from side to side, giggling at the feeling of the ends of her shorter hair brushing against her neck.

"You look beautiful sweetheart," Blaine said as he picked Ella up and pressed a kiss to her cheek.

"Like a princess," Kurt added as he kissed her other cheek. Ella just giggled again.

"Thanks again Kelly," Blaine said as he waited for Kurt to retrieve the strollers which one of the girls had placed out the back for them. Blaine buckled Ella in once Kurt had returned, with Juliette already strapped into hers, and both men made their way out of the salon and began the walk home.

"That wasnt too bad now was it Blaine?" Kurt asked with a chuckle, bumping his shoulder against his husbands.

"Shh you," Blaine replied with a laugh,"

"One down, one to go," Kurt replied with a wink as he leaned forward to check on Juliette, he stood back up with a smile once hed seen that their eleven month old was still asleep and had slept through their entire outing.

"At least I still have two years to mentally prepare myself for the next first haircut," Blaine replied.

"Oh Blaine," Kurt laughed as he leaned over and pressed a kiss to Blaines hair.
