"Hey Jeff, hows it going?" Blaine asked into his phone.

"Not too bad. Assignments are killing me already but it is last year so its to be expected." Jeff sighed.

"My workload hasnt been that too bad. The real work starts after Christmas. Luckily were going to LA for the holiday seasons so I can properly relax before the hard stuff hits." Just thinking about being LA with his family made Blaine smile. It had been a while since they had seen everyone and it would be nice to catch up. Even Kurts family had been invited to go so Joey would be able to spend Christmas with all of his family, something that they hadnt been able to do before, having to split the holidays between the two different families.

"I am so jealous right now!" Jeff whined and Blaine had to laugh at him. "Meanie! Anyway, hows my favourite little boy?"

"Thats actually what I was calling about. I was wondering if you would mind watching Joey overnight tonight. I want to take Kurt out and I was thinking about us maybe getting a hotel room. Weve been having a few issues recently and I think we could really do with being able to reconnect." Blaine explained without going into detail.

"Id have to ask Nicky but Im sure thats no problem. You know we love spending time with him, plus we get to raid your fridge."

"Wed really appreciate it." Blaine said.

"Well Ill text you depending on what Nick says but well probably see each other later."

That was one thing that was potentially taken care of. "Thanks Jeff. I better let you go. Kurt and I are taking Joey to go ice skating in Bryant Park. Itll be his first time on the ice." Blaine said, excitedly.

"Sounds like fun! Give him a big kiss from Nicky and I. Ill text you soon."

Blaine and Jeff said their goodbyes and Blaine walked into Joeys room and gave him a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Eww, Papa!" Joey exclaimed, wiping his cheek.

"That was from your Uncle Jeff and Uncle Nick." Blaine grinned.

Kurt, who was stood at Joeys wardrobe, getting what he would wear to go ice skating out, couldnt help but laugh.

"Okay Joey, get changed into these. They should keep you warm while were on the ice, it gets pretty chilly." Kurt said, handing Joey the clothes.

They left Joey to get ready while they gathered all the coats, scarves, hats and gloves. Kurt didnt want any of them getting a cold, especially as they would be going to LA where Joey would really want to play in the sun.

"Hey you." Blaine said catching Kurt before he moved away, putting his arms around Kurts slim figure.

"Hi." Kurt gave a little laugh.

Blaine kissed Kurt lightly on the lips. "I love you."

"Mmm. I love you too. Im so glad were getting back on track."

"Me too." Blaines phone chirped and he quickly checked it, keeping Kurt in his arms, he saw a confirmation from Jeff. "And we have babysitters lined up for Joey tonight so that we can spend some time, just the two of us. I was thinking maybe get a little dinner, watch a movie and then go back to a hotel room?"

"Oo, that sounds perfect. Id love that." Kurt leaned in for another kiss, this one longer than the last one.

"Im ready daddy! Can we go now?" Joey exclaimed, coming out of his room.

"Lets all get our outer wear on and we can head off." Blaine said, picking up Joeys coat and helping him into it.

"Woohoo!"

Kurt loved how his son was resilient, just like he and Blaine were. Joey had fallen several times on the ice but rather than cry he had gotten either Blaine or Kurt to help him back on and he went back to trying to ice skate. Kurt was taking a break and sat at the side of the rink, watching as Blaine patiently held their sons hand as he moved slowly around the sides. Joey was having so much fun and Kurt was so pleased to see a smile on Joeys face. He had hated seeing Joey as heartbroken as he had been.

Things really were getting more on track. Kurt and Blaine had taken Joey out every weekend so that they could do something as a family. It usually tired Joey out so much that Blaine and Kurt could stay up a bit later with no interruptions. However, tonight would be the first night that they had gone out for a long time. Kurt knew that Blaine and he really needed this. They needed to reconnect as a couple more. All their time was spent as Joeys parents and while they loved having Joey, they did need some time for themselves.

Blaine and Joey headed off of the ice. "Im tired now daddy. Can we get some hot chocolate?"

"Sure, honey. Lets get these skates off and then we can go."

They all grabbed hot chocolates from a coffee shop not too far away and sat inside where it was warmer as they drank their hot chocolates. It was easy to see that Joey was getting drowsy as his head kept nodding and his eyes sliding shut, before theyd blink open again startled.

"We better get home. Someone could do with a nap." Blaine said.

They cleared their table and once they got outside Kurt allowed Joey to climb up on his back so he could carry him home. Half way home, Kurt could feel that Joey had fallen asleep so they walked as quickly as they dared to enable them to get Joey home and tucked up in bed for a nap. Jeff and Nick would be coming round in an hour and would dote on him.

Kurt did worry about leaving Joey overnight, not that he didnt trust Nick and Jeff and they had left him before with his and Blaines parents. He guessed that he would always be worried like that. It was just something that came with fatherhood.

"Itll be okay." Blaine said as if reading Kurts mind. "Theyd never let anything bad happen to him, they love him to bits."

Kurt gave Blaine a smile. "I know, I know. Im just being silly."

"Youre being his dad. It makes me a bit nervous too." Blaine admitted.

They finally reached their apartment and Blaine helped Kurt get Joey tucked up in bed all nice and warm. Kurt went to the sofa, kicked his shoes off by the side and stretched himself across it.

"Room for me?"

Kurt lifted his legs and allowed Blaine to sit on the end of the sofa before putting his legs back down so his feet were in Blaines lap. "If you really loved me then you would give me a foot massage."

"I guess youre lucky that I do love you then." Blaine teased before starting to massage his boyfriends feet.

"Mmm. Youre good." Kurt sighed, relaxing further into the couch.

"Looking forward to tonight?"

"Oh, yes. Having time thats just you and I will be perfect. I cant wait to get reacquainted with all of you."

"Nor I with you."

Kurt and Blaine sat lounging on the couch until Joey woke up an hour later, full of energy. He all but tugged Blaine off of the sofa, asking him to teach him some more of the piano, as Blaine had been giving Joey some lessons here and there when he wanted.

"You go, Im going to pack our bag for tonight." Kurt said, stretching his arms high above his head as he stood up.

As Kurt sorted out both his and Blaines clothes for the next day he listened to Blaine instructing Joey on how to play a little jingle on the piano. This was the kind of dad that Blaine really was to Joey. What had happened had been so out of character for Blaine. But Kurt didnt really like to think about that anymore. They were moving forward.

Nick and Jeff arrived at the apartment at five and wasted no time in kicking Kurt and Blaine out, insisting that they knew how to contact them and that they shouldnt worry about anything. Joey didnt seem bothered at all, giving his parents both a kiss and a hug and telling them that he loved them. They both stood in shock as their front door was slammed in their faces, but they smiled knowing that Joey was going to be okay without them tonight.

They took a cab to the hotel to drop of their bag and check-in before they headed back out, hand-in-hand to the restaurant that Blaine had booked for them. It wasnt the fanciest place but they had been there before and both of them loved it. Over dinner they talked about Joey and how things had been going since they had agreed to focus more time on their family. They wanted to talk about the serious things while they were at dinner because they both knew what they wanted to do when they got back to their hotel.

After they finished their main meal, Blaine asked if Kurt wanted anything for dessert and they both knew it was time to head back when Kurt gave Blaine that look and told him that he would rather have Blaine for dessert.

On the way back to the hotel, they could barely keep their hands off each other. They had decided to get a cab back and things were getting pretty heavy in the back of that cab. By the time that they had reached the hotel both of them were utterly debauched. Blaine flung a load of money at the cab guy and dragged Kurt into the hotel and into the elevator. They only just about managed to keep their hands off of each other before they got to their room. As soon as their room door was closed Blaine had pushed Kurt up against it was was kissing him, trailing them down his neck, exactly how Kurt loved it.

"Oh, god..." Kurt moaned as Blaine sucked on the spot on Kurts neck that always made his eyes roll back in his head. "Condoms and lube in the bag. Now Blaine." Kurt moaned, knowing if they didnt do something soon then he was probably going to come just from this.

They made their way to the bad, clothes hurriedly being pulled off and chucked here there and everywhere. At Kurts insistence Blaine hurriedly stretched him, trying to make it as quick and as pain free as possible. When Kurt felt that he had been stretched enough he turned around and rolled a condom on Blaines length before slicking it up with plenty of lube.

"How do you want this?" Blaine panted, needing to be inside him so badly.

"Take me from behind?" Kurt asked.

Blaine nodded and Kurt got onto his hands and knees and turned, presenting his ass to Blaine. Blaine slowly and carefully eased himself into Kurt, wanting, as always, to make it as painless as possible. When he was fully sheathed inside Kurt, he paused, allowing himself to feel Kurt around him, so tight and hot. He loved being inside Kurt. Even though it didnt feel as good with the condom, it still felt amazing. The condoms were necessary and they hadnt had sex without one since Joey was born.

"Blaine." Kurt moaned, annoyed that he wasnt moving yet. "Please move, fast and hard." Kurt demanded.

Blaine started easing himself out of Kurt and then back in. He started off slower but started to get faster and harder as Kurt had requested. He held Kurts hips, tight enough to bruise, slamming their hips together. Kurt used one hand to stroke himself, his cock thick and needing some relief. When Kurt came, he came hard, come spurting from the tip of cock and onto the bed sheets. Blaine thrust into Kurt a few more times before he was spurting into the condom that covered his cock. Both of them had come so hard that their legs were shaking and Blaine had to pull out of Kurt so that they could both lay down before they fell.

"Fuck, that was hot." Kurt said, panting.

"Were laid in come." Blaine said, panting just as much as Kurt.

"Im so tired that I dont even care." Kurt said, turning round so that he could snuggle into Blaines side.

"I love you Kurt. I love you and the life that you have given us."

"I love you too. Meeting you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me."

Blaine woke up slowly. His skin felt cold where they had slept naked and without the covers over them. Kurt wasnt curled into his side anymore but was instead asleep on the other side of the bed, an arm flung above his head but still gloriously naked. Seeing Kurt naked was always a beautiful sight for Blaine. Kurt had an amazing body, no matter how much he thought otherwise.

"Kurt?" Blaine said, shaking Kurt awake a little.

"Yeah, baby?" Kurt said, his voice as thick with sleep as Blaine was.

"Can we have sleepy sex?" Blaine asked.

"Sure baby." Kurt said, his cock twitching, even though the rest of him was ready to go back to sleep.

Blaine lined himself up with Kurts entrance and slowly entered him. When he was fully in, he pulled Kurt up to his chest so that they were sitting together and they began rocking together slowly, savouring each thrust. They came together, eyes closed as they both found their release. Blaine stayed inside Kurt until he as starting to go soft and only then did he slowly pull out of Kurt. Kurt whined sleepily at the emptiness that Blaine left.

Kurt turned so his back was towards Blaine and pulled Blaines arm so it rested over his waist. Within minutes Kurt was asleep again. Blaine grabbed the cover that had somehow ended up being kicked to the end of the bed and spread it over them before falling asleep himself.
