Riker Imagine for Taryn: Baby's First Trip to Glee

Taryn’s Point of View

I picked up my cell phone and dialed Riker’s number. “Hey baby doll,” He answered sweetly. “Hi, my love, we are outside, but the big man won’t let us in.” I said, looking at the security guard in front of me. “How dare he deprive my daughter of seeing her Daddy on set?” He said, sounding fakely upset, “I’ll be right out to come getcha babe, I love you!” I smiled to the ground, “I love you too,” I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket. I turned to the stroller in front of me and pulled up the shade, “Hi Kenzie!” I said to my daughter who was 6 months old now.

She smiled at me and giggled a little bit and I played with her while we waited for Riker. Finally he came out to get us and looked at the man that wouldn’t let us in, “Next time, they should be on the list,” Riker said to the man. He nodded sheepishly at my husband, who was significantly smaller than he, but if Riker was his boss of some kind, I’d be afraid of him too. “Yes Sir, my apologies,” He said. “It’s alright,” Riker replied turning to me, “Hi my Love,” He said, taking the stroller from my hands and pSaveushing it inside. He hugged me tightly and I looked up at him already in his warbler uniform, “You’ve been here all day, it’ll be fun to show Kenzie the set!” I smiled as he pulled me into a kiss. He backed away for a minute, “I…” Another kiss, “Missed…” Another kiss, “You,” He smiled. “I missed you too baby,” I smiled.

He pulled the shade up and started unbuckling Kenzie from the seat, “Hi my baby girl!” He said, “It’s daddy daughter work day!” He smiled, holding her in his arm. She looked so tiny compared to him. We dropped the stroller off at a station and he led me through doors I had visited before. I used to come to set all the time when we were dating and early married, but after Kenzie came I didn’t have the time. “Here we go!” He said to her and she smiled up at him. He held her with one arm and took my hand with the other arm, “Look baby girl,” He said to her, “This is where Daddy works; other than with your uncles and aunt of course.” He smiled, walking onto an area with bright lights and a lot of people running around.

“Darren! My man,” He said to a friend of his, shaking his hand, “Riker, good to see you!” He turned to me, “Taryn, always a pleasure to see you too!” Darren said. “You too, Darren, it’s been a while,” I hugged him lightly and turned to Riker, who was still holding Kenzie. “Oh my god,” he said, looking at Kenzie, “You’ve gained a new person!” He waved at her and she giggled, “Darren, meet my baby girl Kenzie,” Riker said, sweetly. “I could just eat her up, she’s so cute,” He said to us. “Thanks,” I said smiling at him. “Riker talks about you and her nonstop, Taryn, I bet he has hundreds of photos, and he shows us a new one every day!” He laughed. Riker shrugged, “What can I say? I love my girls.” He looked down at me and winked, making me smile. “Darren to wardrobe,” Came over the speaker and he said goodbye, quickly running off. Riker walked us back to another room.

“Kenzie, this is where Daddy gets dressed,” He said, leading us through a costume place, “And this is where Daddy has to put make up on,” He smiled, showing her the mirror and pointing to her. We walked back into the main room with the set, “These,” He said, taking my hand, “Are your special seats for the taping!” He smiled, showing me. “We start filming really soon, you can already see the people coming in.” He nodded up to the groups of girls and boys coming in to sit in the audience. “What if she cries?” I ask. “You have full permission to take her out if you have to feed her or she cries or anything, I got the okay,” He smiled at me. “I love you,” I said to him, “I love you Taryn,” He smiled, leaning down and kissing me. “Hey Bill!” he called to a guy and he came walking over, “Yeah Riker?” “Can you take our picture?” The guy nodded, taking Riker’s phone and Riker held Kenzie up in between us and we all smiled.

“Thanks!” Riker said, taking the phone back, “That will be going on Instagram later.” He smiled, taking my hand, “This is so special to have you two here with me!” He said, “I’m so happy,” He looked down at Kenzie. “I think she might be tired,” I said, taking her from him and sitting down. He sat next to me and I put a blanket over her, rocking in my seat. He sat whispering things to Kenzie that were making me laugh until a voice came from across the stage, “Riker to set, Warblers to set,” He looked at Kenzie, then back to me, “I gotta run, babe,” I nodded, “I understand,” He kissed the top of her head and then tilted my head up to kiss me sweetly. “I love you,” He whispered, “I love you more,” I beamed. “Enjoy the show!” He said, running off. I looked down at Kenzie who was fast asleep on my arm, “Exhausting, isn’t it?” I laughed to myself and I turned my attention to the set in front of me.
