AN: Hey everyone. This isn't my first adventure in writing and not my first glee fic just the first one I'm posting. I hope you all enjoy it.
Disclaimer: Alas, I don't own Glee. If I did I would put myself in every episode and Klaine would always be together and there would be more than one episode a week. Lol.
"Why is Macy crying?" Blaine asked Kurt when he entered the kitchen. "Because she demanded I give her a cookie and I told her no. She had to wait until after dinner." "So you're letting her cry?" "She has to learn she can't just demand things. She's four years old Blaine and completely out of control." "She's not out of control" Blaine defended their four year old daughter. "We spoil her too much Blaine. We love her so much that we never tell her no!" "Surely we're not so bad!" "I took her to the park while you were at work today. I sat next to a woman on this bench and watched her play on the playground. We got to talking about our kids. The woman's son walked over and asked if he could have an ice cream cone from the vendor. She told him no because it would spoil his dinner and he said ok and went back to playing. If Macy had asked and I said no she would have thrown a tantrum."
"You're right" Blaine sighed sitting heavily on the bar stool situated at the breakfast counter. "I know it's going to be difficult but we've got to implement some kind of discipline. With us taking turns staying home during the day we're at even more of a disadvantage." "Do you think we should hire a nanny? It's not like we're hurting for money" Blaine said. "Which is exactly why we shouldn't hire a nanny. If we had a nanny then we would both work all day every day and we would never spend any time with Macy" Kurt said. "So what do we do? Make a list of punishments?" "That's not a bad idea. I don't want to jump into this blind though. We should talk to Janette and Rick next door and see what they do. Their kids are always so well behaved."
"Alright, I'll call them tomorrow." Chimes rang through the first floor alerting them to someone at the front gate. "I wonder who that is" Blaine said. "I can't think of anyone that wouldn't call first" Kurt said putting the chopping knife he was using to cut the celery down. He wiped his hands and joined Blaine at the security panel. "What is Emily doing here?" Kurt asked after Blaine finished speaking to her and opened the gate. "I don't know. It was kind of hard to understand her" Blaine said and they headed to the front door. Blaine opened the door allowing the cool April air into the front hall.
"Emily" Blaine rushed out onto the porch as she stumbled coming up the stairs. "What's wrong honey?" Kurt asked as Blaine grabbed the duffel bag out of her hand and helped her into the house. "I'm sorry to come over so late. Could I use your phone?" she cried. "Our phone? Emily honey, what's wrong?" Blaine asked. "I lost my apartment" she cried. "Why?" Kurt asked. "The manager said he couldn't have someone living there that was helping people like you have a family. I don't know how he found out. I haven't told anyone I swear." "Oh Emily, it's ok" Blaine wrapped his arms around her and Kurt did the same.
"How did you get here?" Kurt asked confused. "I called a cab. I threw as much of my clothes into my bag as I could and left. I was scared he was going to call the cops or something." She was still crying even as Blaine and Kurt tried to comfort her. Blaine unzipped her coat and Kurt pulled it off her shoulders before sliding it down her arms and hanging it up in the closet. "If I could just use your phone I can call my cousin and see if I can stay the night with her. I was in such a rush to get out that I didn't know where else to go." "Don't be ridiculous. You'll stay here" Kurt said. "I can't, our agreement..." "Tosh with our agreement Emily. You gave us Macy and you're giving us another baby. You're family now" Blaine said. "I'll send someone to your apartment tomorrow to get your things packed up and brought over" Kurt said.
"I'm sorry. I don't want to be a burden. I can stay at a hotel until I can find another apartment." "Nonsense. In fact, I think this new arrangement is going to work in all of our favors" Blaine said. "How?" Emily sniffled. "Well, you're Macy's biological mother and she's going to need a woman she's comfortable talking with as she gets older and she could use a mother's influence right about now. Not to mention Kurt and I could use some help" Blaine said. "She's just one child" Emily said. "One child we've spoiled more than we should have. We're having difficulty with discipline. We're still pretty new to this Emily" Kurt said. "How can I help?" Emily asked. "Maybe you can help us get through to her. You've got experience with kids so maybe you could help us come up with suitable punishments" Blaine said. "Daddy" a small girl with dark brown curls sniffled from the bottom of the stairs. "Yes honey" Blaine said. "Who is she?" "Maybe I should go" Emily tried to turn around.
"No, please Emily. Let us take care of you" Blaine said stopping her. "Let's go sit in the living room" Kurt said. Macy led the way. She climbed up onto the couch. Emily slowly sat herself in an arm chair. Kurt sat next to Macy and Blaine perched on the left arm of Emily's chair. "Macy, you know how most kids have a mommy and a daddy" Kurt started and Macy nodded. "Some kids have two mommies and some have two daddies like you" Macy nodded again. "Well, those kids that have two daddies have to have a mommy too. But their mommy doesn't usually help raise them. She leaves it up to the daddy's to take care of her baby." "Doesn't the mommy love the baby?" Macy asked. Emily choked back a sob and Blaine took her hand. "Sometimes. Because two daddies can't have a baby by themselves they need help so they ask a mommy to have a baby for them. The daddy's give the mommy whatever she needs while she keeps the baby in her tummy."
"And when the baby comes she gives them the baby?" Macy asked. "Exactly" Blaine smiled. "Is that how you got me?" Macy asked. "Yes it is honey" Blaine said. "So are you my mommy?" Macy asked Emily surprising her. "She's pretty smart for a four year old" Blaine told her. Emily looked at Kurt and then at Blaine before getting down on her knees as Macy approached her. "Yes" Emily said quietly. "Didn't you love me?" Macy asked. "Oh baby" Emily teared up "I loved you from the moment I knew I was pregnant with you but you were never mine. Your daddies asked me to have you and I said yes because I knew they would love you sooo much." Macy wrapped her arms around her neck and hugged her. Emily broke out into tears as she hugged her. Blaine and Kurt smiled at each other. "Don't cry mommy" Macy said. "These are happy tears" Emily smiled at her.
"Hey, you have green eyes, like me" Macy said. Blaine smiled at Kurt again. "Oh shoot, the food" Kurt rushed off the couch. "You guys were sitting down to dinner. I should really go" Emily said standing up slowly. "Don't even think about it. You're going to stay here and that's final" Blaine said. "But..." "No buts" Blaine stopped her. What happened next was so quick Blaine almost didn't notice. "Bathroom?" she asked her face going green. "There" Blaine pointed to a door in the hallway. Emily practically flew toward the door, wrenching it open and allowing it to close behind her. Blaine covered Macy's ears as he heard Emily throwing up. "Where'd Emily go?" Kurt asked entering the living room. "Bathroom, she uh, was sick" Blaine said jerking his head toward the bathroom door. "I'll get her some water" Kurt said. "Macy honey, why don't you go play in your room until dinner's ready okay?" Blaine asked.
"Okay daddy" Macy skipped off and went upstairs. "Emily?" Blaine knocked on the bathroom door. He heard the toilet flush and she pushed the door open. Blaine entered the bathroom and saw her sitting on the floor pressing her forehead against the cool wall. "You okay?" Blaine asked. "Sorry, I don't know why they call it morning sickness when it happens at all hours." "Where's your toothbrush?" Blaine asked. "I don't know if I packed it" Emily said. "Alright, Kurt's got a burgeoning stockpile. I'll get you one" Blaine said. He waited for Kurt to enter the bathroom before leaving. "Here you go" Kurt said handing her a glass of water. "Thanks" she said. She stood up on shaky legs and rinsed her mouth out. Blaine came back with a toothbrush in a box a minute later. He ripped the box open and pulled the toothbrush out before squeezing a small amount of toothpaste on it and handing it to her. She accepted it with a weak smile and brushed the taste of vomit out of her mouth.
"How are you feeling?" Kurt asked. "Better. Usually there's some warning. Like I smell food or something but I didn't smell anything." "Any specific food? Other triggers? We don't want to do anything to make you sick" Blaine said. "Any kind of fish mostly, and raisins which is weird cause I used to love them. Also any of the axe body spray and deodorant crap but that made me sick before I was pregnant" Emily smiled. "So no fish and no axe" Blaine laughed. "So how is this going to work?" Emily asked as they moved into the kitchen. "You live here" Kurt said simply. "And after the baby is born?" Emily asked. "Look Emily, I think I speak for both of us when I say that you are welcome to stay here for as long as you want. Even after the baby is born. We want you to be involved in our children's lives" Blaine said. "And when you decide to move out we'll be completely supportive, although I think we both hope it won't be for awhile. We love Macy but there are times where we need a break so we can have some alone time" Kurt said. "I can understand that. I'll be like the live in nanny" Emily said.
"You're more than that Emily your family" Blaine smiled. "Call Macy down dinner's ready" Kurt said. "What can I help with?" Emily asked. "You can grab those plates" Kurt said as he picked up a plate holding pork chops and a bowl of mashed potatoes. Emily followed him into the dining room with the stack of plates that he had gotten out. As they waited on Macy Emily Kurt and Blaine finished setting the table and sat down. "Are you going to live here now mommy?" Macy asked. "Yes I am and Macy, I'd like you to call me Emily" Emily said confusing Kurt and Blaine. "Why? You're my mommy aren't you?" Macy asked. "I'm your mother but I'm not your mommy. At least not yet" Emily said gently. "Aren't they the same thing?"
"Not really. Mothers bring you into the world but mommies take care of you when you're sick, they play with you and read to you and help you when you need help. So you see, I'm not your mommy yet, but I would like to be. Someday when you're older you'll understand." "When can I call you mommy?" Macy asked. "As soon as you feel I am your mommy but for now, you can call me Emily ok." When they had finished with dinner Emily helped clear the table. "Come on Macy, time for a bath before bed" Kurt said. "Do I have to?" Macy asked. "Yes, and if you're good daddy and I will sing to you before bed" Kurt said. "Ok" Macy ran up the stairs. "She likes it when you sing to her obviously" Emily said as Kurt headed upstairs after Macy. "She loves it. There were times when she was a baby that it was the only thing that would put her to sleep or even keep her asleep. We do sound amazing together" Blaine said as he began piling the dishes in the sink. "I've heard you sing, you've got a great voice but I've never heard Kurt sing" Emily said as she began washing the dishes.
"You will soon enough. He's going to be singing some duets with me on my Christmas album" Blaine said. "Won't that be weird? Two guys singing duets?" Emily asked. "It's been done before but once you hear him sing you'll swear you're listening to a woman. He's a countertenor" Blaine said. "That's impressive" Emily said as she began handing him dishes to dry. "You can listen in tonight when we sing Macy to sleep. You should learn her favorite songs anyway" Blaine smiled. "I'm not much of a singer" Emily laughed. "Everyone can sing" Blaine said. "But not everyone should. Trust me; I used to love to sing when I was younger, for awhile I even did some musical theatre." "What happened?" Blaine asked. "My senior year I was in the choir room practicing for an audition and some jocks heard me. They had been torturing me for years already. They said some hurtful things and I haven't really sung since." "Not even in the car or the shower?" Blaine asked.
"Shower no, car yes, but always with the windows up." "When Kurt and I were dating we used to sing to each other in the car. We didn't care who heard or watched. It was just us, in love" Blaine said. "What did you sing?" Emily asked. "Perfect by Pink" Blaine said. "I love that song. Do you guys still sing it?" Emily asked. "Yeah" Blaine laughed. "So you said Kurt is going to be singing with you on your Christmas album? It's April" Emily said. "Yeah, we're starting to record it next month. We've got to be done by September so they can start publicity, release teasers of the songs etcetera" Blaine said. "Wow, it takes that long?" Emily asked. "No, but because I'm also recording another album and he actually has to work we only have two days a week that he can come into the studio and record with me." "Makes sense" Emily said. "I want Macy to sing something too but so far she's been too shy."
"Well she is four, almost five" Emily said. "I know is that the last of them?" Blaine asked as she turned the sink off. "Yeah" she said and dried her hands. "Let's get you set up in your new room huh?" Blaine asked. "I can just sleep on the couch" Emily said. "For the next however many years? I don't think so" Blaine said and grabbed Emily's bag from the living room. He led her upstairs and down the hall. "When Kurt and I were picking a home we spared no expense, knowing that we were going to raise our family here. There are 9 bedrooms and 11 1/2 bathrooms" Blaine said. "Holy cow" Emily said. "Yeah, I thought it might be a little big but then Kurt pointed out that when our families visit we want them to be comfortable so we have guest rooms and such and we wanted each of our kids to have their own bedroom and we don't know how many we're going to have so..." "I get it." "And then we each have an office. You already saw the living room, kitchen and dining room. There's also a play room and a family room downstairs. Then we have a finished basement" Blaine said "Here we go" he opened a door. "This is your room" he said. "Wow" Emily said as she walked in.
"Kurt picked all of the furniture. Being a fashion designer and an interior decorator he was pretty picky" Blaine laughed. "It's amazing" she said. Blaine set her duffel bag down in front of the dresser and crossed the room to a set of doors. "The double doors lead into the walk in closet, this is the linen cupboard" Blaine said and opened the single door. "And that door?" Emily asked pointing to the door on the opposite side of the room. "The bathroom" Blaine said as he pulled a set of sheets out of the cupboard. "We haven't had anyone over in awhile so we need to make the bed" Blaine explained. Emily nodded and pulled the bedspread off the queen sized bed. She folded it over a few times before setting it on the chair in the corner.
Together she and Blaine made short work out of making the bed. Blaine plopped some pillow shams down on the bed as they began shaking the pillows into their cases and tossing them toward the head. "There are more blankets in the closet if you get cold" Blaine said as they left the room. "I'm usually pretty warm at night" Emily said. "Me too but Kurt, he's got two extra blankets on his side of the bed. He's always freezing" Blaine said. "You don't keep him warm?" Emily teased. "I do my best" Blaine laughed. "Alright honey, it's show time" Kurt said sticking his head out of a door two doors down from them. "That's Macy's room" Blaine explained to Emily.
She nodded and followed him down the hall. "Alright Macy bear, what do you want to hear tonight?" Blaine asked. "I want you and papa to sing 'Somewhere Out There' and I want Emily to sing 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes'...please" she said. "Macy, I'm not much of a singer" Emily said. "Please Emily" Macy turned her big eyes up toward her. "I'll give it a shot I guess" Emily conceded. Blaine crossed the room and sat down at a keyboard. Emily decided she would ask about it later. She sat down in a chair as Blaine began playing and then Kurt started to sing.
"Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight"
Emily was astounded to say the least. Kurt had an amazing voice. Blaine had been right; he sounded like a woman, an amazing woman to be exact.
"Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star"
"And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky"
"Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true"
When their voices came together she was stunned, they sounded amazing together.
"And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star"
"And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky"
"Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true"
"You're turn Emily" Macy said. "What do you say?" Emily asked. "Please" Macy said. "Alright, I'll try but I'm not promising anything" Emily said and stood up. Blaine started playing the piano again.
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true"
"I told you I'm not very good" Emily said hushed. Macy had fallen asleep. "Are you kidding, you have a beautiful voice" Kurt whispered. "Come on" Blaine jerked his head to the door. Kurt tucked the covers around Macy really quick and followed them out into the hall. "I can't remember the last time she actually fell asleep while she was being sung too. Usually she's so into the song that she forces herself to stay awake" Kurt said. "She was probably tired of hearing it" Emily said. "I can't believe anyone could be so deaf as to not hear how beautiful your voice is. You have to sing on the Christmas album with us" Blaine said.
"What? No I can't" Emily said. "Why not?" Kurt asked. "It sounds like a family thing" Emily said after a moment. "And you're family now. Don't deny the world your voice Emily. It rivals a very good friend of mine. Course, she's got a lot more confidence than you seem to" Kurt said. "Yeah? Who?" Emily asked unconvinced. "Rachel Berry Hudson" Kurt said. "You're friends with Rachel Hudson?" Emily was shocked. "We were in glee club together. She's also my sister-in-law" Kurt said. "I think I'm going to faint. I'm pregnant with Rachel Hudson's niece or nephew" Emily said. "Whoa, no fainting, please" Blaine and Kurt both threw their arms around her. "Just an expression, sorry, I'm not actually going to faint. How did I get so lucky?" "Um, we thought you were gorgeous and had a great personality. It's why we chose you" Blaine said. "You thought I was pretty?" Emily asked.
"Well duh, we may be gay but we can appreciate a woman's beauty. You're gorgeous Emily. We wanted our kids to be gorgeous too, course, with these good looks and fashion sense who wouldn't" Kurt said. "You're so full of yourself" Blaine laughed. "I was talking about your good looks honey" Kurt smiled. "Oh, well then thank-you" Blaine wrapped an arm around his waist. Emily opened her mouth to say something but quickly clapped a hand over it instead and made a run for her room and the bathroom. Kurt and Blaine quickly followed after her. She moved surprisingly fast and when they reached her Blaine gathered her hair behind her and held it as Kurt rubbed her back. "You okay?" Kurt asked. "No, dinner was terrible the second time around, no offense" Emily moaned after flushing the toilet. "No offense taken. I don't like throwing up either" Kurt said. "I don't understand this. When I was pregnant with Macy I only got sick once, maybe twice a day." "And how many times have you been sick today?" Blaine asked. "Six" Emily said after a moment.
"Six? Ew, no thanks" Kurt said. "You're telling me. I've been sick before and after every meal. I can't keep anything down" Emily said. "That can't be good for you or the baby. I'm calling the doctor" Blaine said. "It's perfectly normal, it just sucks. Besides, I've got an appointment tomorrow anyway." "You do?" Kurt asked. "Yeah, I called you yesterday and left a message" Emily said. "Where did you call?" Kurt asked. "I only have your office number. I left a message with a woman named Leena." "Oh I am going to kill her. I even asked her if anyone had called and left messages" Kurt said. "What I'm more concerned about is the fact that you only have his office number. You should have both of our cell phone numbers and the house number. What if something happened while he wasn't at the office?" "I had them when I was pregnant with Macy but I moved and the paper must have been in my shredding pile. I called the agency but they would only give me the office number. Told me that if something happened I could call them and they would call you." "Well that's not right" Blaine said angrily.
"Come on honey, let's get you off the floor" Kurt said. "Do I have to?" Emily asked. "Yes" Kurt smiled. He and Blaine helped her off the floor and she sat down on the edge of the tub. "I'll go get your toothbrush from downstairs" Kurt said and hurried off. "What time is your appointment tomorrow?" Blaine asked. "11" she said. "Is it alright if Kurt and I come with you?" Blaine asked. "Don't you have to work?" "Not tomorrow and Kurt can go in late if he wants, it's his business." "What about Macy?" "Preschool" Blaine said. "All day?" Emily asked. "She goes in at 10 and gets out at 2" Blaine said. "It's okay with me. I think we're doing an ultrasound tomorrow" Emily said. "You're about three month's right?" Blaine asked. "Yeah, and I'm actually beginning to show, which is weird. I didn't have a baby bump with Macy until I was four months along" Emily said. "Can I see?" Blaine asked almost nervously.
"Sure, it's your baby" Emily said. She stood up and pushed the waist band of her pants down a little before pulling her shirt up a little. "You probably can't see it" Emily said. "I see it" Blaine couldn't help but smile. Almost on it's own his hand moved out. "May I?" he asked. "Like I said it's your baby" she smiled and grabbed his hand placing it on the small bump. "What's going on?" Kurt asked entering the bathroom. "Look, a baby bump" Blaine said excitedly. Kurt squealed like a little girl and put the things he was carrying on the counter before reaching out and placing his hand next to Blaine's. "In a few months you should be able to put both hands over your baby. I'll be huge" Emily said. "You didn't get that big with Macy" Kurt said. "No, but I also wasn't showing this early with Macy. Which ever of you is the biological father your baby is sure to be a football player." "Must be Kurt's then" Blaine laughed. "I played football for a season back in high school. I was the kicker" Kurt explained when Emily looked confused.
"I was a cheerleader, never really understood football, basketball either. I just cheered for them" Emily laughed. "Here" Kurt said after a minute and handed her the toothbrush. "Thanks" Emily said and brushed her teeth. "Alright, I say let's go downstairs, I'll make you a light snack and we'll sit in the living room and gab" Kurt said. "About?" Emily asked as they headed out. "Does it have to be about anything?" Kurt asked. "Don't worry Emily. Kurt can go for hours talking about anything and everything. You should hear him and our friend Mercedes. They can talk on the phone for hours with hardly a breath." They entered the kitchen and Kurt opened the fridge. "Hmm, something light, sweet, ah, idea" Kurt said and pulled a tub of cool whip out of the fridge. "Oreo?" Blaine asked. "Definitely" Kurt said. Blaine went to a cupboard as Emily watched confused. Kurt whipped up an oreo pudding and put it in the fridge to set.
"Normally I don't like using instant but for Oreo pudding parfaits I make an exception" Kurt said. "I love oreo's. It was like a staple in my diet when I was pregnant with Macy" Emily said. "And the doctor was okay with that?" Blaine asked. "You don't have to worry, I try my very best to eat balanced meals all the time but sometimes a girl needs a midnight snack and a few oreo's and a glass of milk are perfect." "I'm starting to see why you were our top pick for surrogacy. We have so much in common" Kurt said. "I was kind of meaning to ask you, what made you even think about it?" Blaine asked. "Tuition" Emily said simply. "I had just finished college and I had loans that needed paying. I couldn't find a decent job so one day when I was trolling the classifieds I saw your ad. It got me to thinking. With the money the agency was going to pay me I could pay off my school loans and provide a child for a someone who couldn't have children the conventional way. I went to the agency and signed up."
"How long did it take?" Kurt asked. "About a month. They did background checks, looked up my credit history, dug into every aspect of my life and that's before I went through the mental and physical exams." "And you still decided to go through with it?" Blaine asked. "I had some neighbors growing up that always wanted a child. They tried looking for a surrogate for years with no luck before turning the adoption road. No one wanted to give their baby to a gay couple. Personally I could care less if they were both men, both women, or the 'normal' man and a woman. All I care about is if they love each other and will take care of a child. I've seen plenty of people who can have children and then do and abuse them or just simply don't care. I wanted to help someone have a child." Kurt was practically in tears and hugged her tightly. "You're like a shining beacon of light Emily. I wish everyone felt the way you do."
"Someday they will" Emily said. The timer dinged suddenly and Kurt wiped his eyes before assembling the oreo parfaits. "To the living room" he said gallantly. Emily sat in the chair she had previously occupied while they sat on the love seat opposite the couch. "Alright" Blaine said as he sat down "Emily has a doctor's appointment tomorrow and we're going with her." "We are?" Kurt asked. "Don't you want to see our baby? They're doing an ultrasound" Blaine said. "I'm there" Kurt said excitedly. "Emily you should give us your cell phone number" Blaine said pulling his iPhone out of his pocket. "I don't have one" Emily said and took a bite of her dessert. "You don't have a cell phone?" Kurt asked stunned. "Couldn't afford one. After I paid off my loans I was determined not to acquire any debt. I worked two jobs to pay my rent, grocery bill and to keep myself clothed." "How did you get anywhere?" Kurt asked.
"Walked, I couldn't afford to go out or anything so I just walked to work and the store." "Well, while we're out tomorrow we're getting you a cell phone" Blaine said pulling a pad of paper onto his lap and writing it down. "You don't have to..." Emily said. "Emily, you're the mother of our daughter and your pregnant with our second child. You need a cell phone. What if something happens while you're not here and you can't reach us?" Blaine asked. "So it's settled, we'll get a phone while we're out tomorrow. Also we should start thinking about the nursery" Kurt said. "The baby isn't due for 6 months" Emily said. "But we've got to paint and arrange furniture and..." "Kurt honey, calm" Blaine said as Kurt started to get excited "I agree we should pick out paint colors. We can do that tomorrow as well. Is there anything else we should do while we're out?" Blaine asked. "Grocery shopping" Kurt said and Blaine put it on the list.
"Alright, so I'll make a call tomorrow and have Emily's apartment emptied and brought here, we'll go to the doctors, pick up a cell phone, pick out paint colors and then get some groceries" Blaine said. "Sounds good to me" Kurt said. "Emily, what should the movers be packing?" Blaine asked. "Everything but the furniture I guess. I don't have a lot, they can leave the dishes" Emily said. "Right" Blaine made a note. Emily stifled a yawn as she leaned back. "Tired?" Kurt asked. "Exhausted. It's weird, I will have all the energy in the world during the day but as soon as night hits I'm ready for bed. You know it wasn't like this before you guys got me pregnant" Emily teased. "You want me to walk you up to bed?" Blaine asked as she stood. "I'm good thanks. I think I can make it up the stairs" she teased "Good night guys, and thanks."
"Night Emily" they said together. As soon as they knew she was upstairs and out of ear shot they began talking. "I can't believe we were so lucky to find someone like her" Kurt said. "I know" Blaine said and wound his arms around his husband as Kurt leaned into him. While they were going through counseling sessions for couples using a surrogate they had heard all kinds of horror stories. Women that smoked during pregnancy, women with all kinds of police records, women with incredibly bad attitude's and women who did it for all the wrong reasons. When they had been looking for a surrogate she had been their first pick. Her file drew them in. Not only was her picture gorgeous but her school records were near perfect. She had never been arrested, received a ticket or even been pulled over. Every drug test she had ever had to take came back clean. She had never smoked, drank only on special occasions and kept herself healthy.
When they had interviewed her they liked her right away. She was smart and a happy person. They had been nervous about talking to her but as soon as she had smiled they had been at ease. The only thing that was going against her was her age. She had only been 22 and they weren't sure if she knew what she was getting into. After speaking with her for over an hour they had been convinced that she was the one. But being the curious men that they were they had a friend put together some digital composite's of what their children might look like with her as their birth mother. Both men had been stunned. Her hair was a color brown somewhere between theirs and she had green eyes which were completely different from Blaine's hazel and Kurt's blue but damn did they make good looking kids. "What are you thinking about?" Kurt asked. "Macy, our future baby, Emily" Blaine said. "Who do you think the biological father is for this one?" Kurt asked. "I don't know. It would be perfect if it was you. I want to see a little you running around" Blaine laughed. It had been completely obvious to them as soon as Macy had been born that she was Blaine's. Her head of think dark curls were a dead giveaway.
"Macy is so perfect, I can't imagine anything else being as perfect as her" Kurt said. "I can. The rest of our kids" Blaine smiled and kissed his husband. After cuddling on the couch for awhile they both decided that they might as well go to bed. It was nearing 10 and while they weren't particularly tired they had a busy day tomorrow. As they passed Emily's room heading for their own Blaine stopped. "What is it?" Kurt asked confused. "Shh, listen" Blaine said and they were both silent. "Is that Emily or Macy?" Kurt asked. "I think it's Emily. Macy would have come and found us" Blaine said. He knocked softly on Emily's door and opened it. The lights were off in the room but the light from the hallway allowed them to see Emily laying in bed, seemingly asleep and crying. "Emily?" Blaine asked from the doorway. She let out a sob and both men were instantly at her side. "Emily" Blaine shook her a little. "No" she cried.
"Emily, come on honey. Wake up, you're okay" Kurt said resting a hand on her shoulder. With a gasp she sat bolt upright breathing deeply. "Whoa, calm down" Blaine said sitting on the bed. "What, what happened?" she asked. "We were heading to bed and heard you crying" Blaine said. Emily touched a hand to her cheek and pulled it away feeling her fingertips get wet from her tears. "Do you want to talk about it?" Kurt asked gently. "I, there's really nothing to talk about. Just a bad dream" Emily said. "You sounded terrified" Kurt said. "What did I say?" Emily asked fearful. "No" Blaine said. Emily almost looked relieved. "How long have you been having bad dreams?" Kurt asked. "I don't have them very often" Emily said. "How long?" Blaine asked.
"A few years. They started when I was pregnant with Macy. Sometimes I remember them sometimes I don't." "What are they about?" Kurt asked. Emily opened her mouth but shut it again. "You can tell us Emily. We're only here to help you" Blaine said. "Stuff that happened in high school. It's no big deal" Emily said. "Emily, what happened in high school?" Blaine asked. "I was teased, made fun of, bullied. And that was just at school. If I got anything less than an A my dad would lock me in my closet. If I burned dinner..." "Did he hit you?" Blaine asked gently. "Yes" Emily sobbed. Blaine held her tightly allowing her to cry into his chest and Kurt wrapped his arms around her as well. "How long?" Blaine asked. "Since I was pregnant with Macy. It doesn't happen often though." "What are they about?" Kurt asked. "High school. I was teased, made fun of, bullied, and that was just at school. If I got anything less than an A my dad would lock me in the closet. If I burned dinner..."
"Did he hit you?" Blaine asked gently. "Yes" Emily sobbed. Blaine held her tight and allowed her to cry into his chest as Kurt wrapped his arms around her too. "How long?" Blaine asked. "It started when I was 10 and didn't stop until I moved here for school when I was 17." "What about your mom?" Kurt asked. "She died when I was 9. I think that's why it started" Emily said. Kurt and Blaine stayed with her until she had fallen asleep. Carefully they managed to lay her down and Kurt pulled the covers over her. They crept out of the room and headed toward their own.
AN: Alright so what did you think? Let me know by pressing that little button down there that says review. I've got two more chapters that are almost ready to go up. This was 10 pages and I'm going to try and get 10 pages up every few days but no promises. The hard drive on my laptop died a few weeks ago so I'm working off my dads computer and saving everything to USB.
