When asked who wanted children first it was never a clear answer. Kurt swears he was first to bring it up by dropping not so subtle hints. Blaine says that he didn't pick up on any of the hints and that hints don't count, what counts it that he was the one who directly addressed wanting a child. For the next month they went through their options until they decided surrogacy was the best for them. The first time they would use Blaine's sperm and for the second they would use Kurt's. If they wanted another after that they would address it then.
When asked how they decided who got to be first was also not a clear answer, just something about an unfair competition and others being sore losers. And if asked what the game or competition was they both blush and mumble different answers that are clearly not the truth.
The surrogacy went more smoothly and perfectly than they could ever imagine. Blaine's sperm took the first try and the pregnancy had no problems doctors were concerned about.
After hearing the good news they didn't hesitate in beginning to plan for the baby. Blaine instantly wanted to share the news with everyone. Kurt was also sure that Blaine had purchased almost every parenting and pregnancy book imaginable. Blaine read almost all of them, making sure to mark color coded tabs and highlights on things for Kurt to read. Kurt didn't hesitate on buying gender-neutral clothing and planning out the space for the baby, nothing that couldn't be planned without knowing the gender at least.
When they found out it was a girl Kurt went crazy with decorating the perfect nursery, that Blaine considered a little extravagant for a baby. Blaine went crazy with baby proofing and all the things that could prevent any harm to their child. Kurt called Blaine insane for throwing away their five hundred dollar microwave.
Picking a name was were the real arguments started. They agreed to each narrow down their list to five before consulting each other. After they still couldn't agree on names they decided to play a game to decide who got to use the name they wanted for her first name and the other would get the middle name. The game went from two rounds of Wii's "Just Dance" to three rounds of the Wii Karaoke and finally a screaming match that not only ended in tears but also Kurt locking himself in the nursery and Blaine storming out of the house. Blaine returned a couple hours later with cheesecake and a giant stuffed animal ready to beg for Kurt's forgiveness.
The next day Kurt had a hundred and one degree fever, not that it had anything to do with the fight or tears. No of course not.
Neither of them could explain the love and happiness they felt when their daughter, Sophie, was born. She was perfect. And even though Blaine feels somewhat guilty that she got his hair Kurt loves it. Neither one of them wants to let go of her or put her down. As they settle into a routine Kurt ends up putting Burt and Carole's numbers on speed dial for all his questions, because despite what Blaine thinks books can't know everything.
The first thing they worry about is that she doesn't cry as much as they expected, only letting out little squeaks when she needs something. At first Kurt doesn't think too much of it and gives her the nickname Squeaker, but then Blaine worries something is wrong with her lungs. Next she begins to have digesting issues with almost every formula they try. At one point they resorted to not wearing anything but their boxer briefs or pajama pants because everything else was spat up on. So they set up an appointment with her pediatrician. After a very quick check up they find nothing wrong with her lungs, vocal cords, or ears. She's just a happy baby. The doctor does give them something to help with her digestion issues, which was a blessing because she was starting to refuse to eat.
The first time she is actually sick Kurt isn't home and had turned his phone off for work reasons. When he turned it back on he found over ten text messages and four panicked voicemails. All he heard and understood was baby and hospital, which resulted with Kurt rushing into the hospital crying and begging to know if she was alive. Blaine was embarrassed that she just had a low-grade fever and she would be fine in a couple hours.
Burt and Carole were the first two people to meet baby Sophie. They showed up with an enough toys for Kurt and Blaine to open their first toyshop. Sophie instantly had Burt wrapped around her finger and Kurt couldn't help but tease Burt at how much he was spoiling her. Burt quickly reminded Kurt that he was a pretty spoiled kid himself. Blaine teased Burt at the fact he bought her a baby football jersey and a musical car mobile. Burt only argued that he thought they wouldn't want to push those gender stereotypes on her, though Blaine had a feeling he bought them when Kurt and Blaine announced that their surrogate was pregnant instead of waiting to find out of the gender of the baby like Blaine's mother had. Burt didn't hesitate in asking to be called Poppy. When they asked Carole what she would like to be called she was surprised they considered her a grandmother since she wasn't Kurt's mother. Kurt assured her that though she was not his mother she was Sophie's grandmother and is a very important person in both of their lives. She then requested to be called Nanny, not bothering to hide her tears. She also promised to babysit whenever needed. Blaine tried to kindly remind her of the travel distance but she said she could be here in a days notice.
Cooper was the next to visit, beating Blaine's mother only because he showed up unannounced and uninvited. With how tired Kurt and Blaine were neither of them had acquired enough patience to deal with Cooper just yet. At first sight of Sophie Cooper pushed they put her in baby commercials because she was so beautiful. Kurt almost went for it, liking the idea of Sophie being a star, but Blaine wouldn't budge on the matter. That was the first fight the two brothers had. The second was when Cooper wouldn't stop going on about being the "favorite uncle", even wearing a t-shirt and buying a mug with the title. Blaine at first didn't think anything of it, he was too exhausted to notice Kurt withdrawing the more Cooper brought it up and bragged. When Kurt went to put Sophie down for her nap he could hear him crying over the baby monitor and it clicked that he was thinking about Finn, and it was certainly no competition that Finn would have been the favorite uncle over Cooper. After taking Cooper outside to yell and fight with him Cooper came back in looking ashamed and apologized to Kurt. Kurt forgave him but he would be lying if he said he didn't get some enjoyment over the fact that Sophie spit up in Cooper's hair after they warned him she spat up very easily and often.
Blaine's mom was the next to visit; arriving a week early when she found out both Cooper and Kurt's parents had gotten to meet the baby already. During her visit she was slightly passive aggressive towards Kurt since his parents got to meet her first. After she went on about how glad she was that Blaine got to be the biological father and how lucky Sophie was to have Blaine stay home and take care of her Blaine was sure if Kurt had super powers that his mother would either be frozen or melted from the death looks Kurt was giving her. He gave up trying to keep the peace when she couldn't settle a fussy Sophie and Kurt declared she was a wonderful judge of character. Things thankfully worked themselves out when his mom mention she knew of Sophie's judge of character when she heard she puked on Cooper and then offered Kurt an organic remedy to get vomit out of different fabrics.
Finally the rest of their friends got to meet Sophie at a scheduled dinner get together. Santana and Rachel instantly fought over the title of Aunt and who would be the womanly figure in her life. Kurt let them argue it out and refused to choose just one, later telling Blaine that he only refused to choose because he would have to be dead before he let either one of those girls near Sophie unsupervised adding in that Blaine would be dead if he didn't do the same. Blaine couldn't help but find it amusing that when Rachel tried to sing a lullaby for Sophie she only cried, he also wasn't above rubbing in that she never cries when he and Kurt sing to her. After watching Sam interact with Sophie they politely asked him to stay behind after everyone left so they could talk to him. Despite his atheist choices Kurt had wanted to designate someone as Sophie's Godparent, at first Blaine didn't agree thinking it wasn't really needed since neither of them were religious people but then Kurt argued that he wished he had one after his mom died and his dad was in a coma. Blaine really had no chance to say no after that. After a long discussion they had come to conclusion Sam was the best option, he had younger siblings he helped take care of, he lived close by, him and Blaine were best friends, and he was the only one who never bullied Kurt in high school. The only condition was that he was not allowed to teach their baby girl how get "sexified" and would not permit her to date anyone resembling Puck or Santana. Sam immediately began set up days and times he would spend with her and his duties of Godfather, which included impressions of The Godfather, and offered to come up with her superhero alter ego if Kurt promised to help with the sewing. Blaine didn't want to crush his enthusiasm but he did gently remind him she was only three months old and can barely push herself up.
