Hey guys! This is a new fic that I'm starting. I wasn't planning on publishing this until next week, but I got a stomach virus and had some time of my hands, so I hope you guys enjoy!
Kurt and Blaine Anderson-Hummel had never imagined that their life would be in the shambles that it was just five years after they had gotten married. Yes, career wise they were both very successful. Blaine was a surgeon at a huge metropolitan hospital in New York and Kurt was working as vice president at ,but neither of them cared about that. They desperately wanted to start a family and it seemed as though fate just simply wasn't going to let that happen. Just a week ago, they had a horrible tragedy occur. Rachel, who had agreed to be their surrogate, had lost their precious baby girl, who they had named Emma at just 5 months. Both Kurt and Blaine were devastated. They had already started to decorate the nursery, but it wasn't the first time that they'd felt this type of heartbreak. Their first surrogate, Amy had lost the baby at 3 months. They hadn't even found out the sex yet. Somewhere in between the surrogacy attempts, they had put in an application with the Chinese Adoption Agency, but their application was denied. It seemed as though they would never start a family
Kurt was so depressed. He just sat in the nursery staring out of the window in the padded pink rocking chair. Blaine was really worried about him. He really hadn't eaten in days and never went to bed with him anymore. He just sat in that nursery and stared out the clear window panes. Blaine just couldn't stand to see him suffer like this anymore. This had never been something that they talked about, but he figured it was their last chance. It was time to look in the adoption of an older child. He knocked softly on the door molding and walked into the nursery.
"Kurt, honey, you can't keep living like this. I'm worried about you." Blaine said as he took Kurt's hands into his.
"I'm just grieving. I've grieved for our first baby, and for the baby we never had a shot to get from China. Emma is no different." Kurt said his eye puffy from crying. "I just need time. I'll get through this."
"I worried you won't" Blaine told him. "We've named her and she'll always be in our hearts, but there's nothing we can do about that anymore. I'm worried that you'll be in this depression until you have a baby in your arms."
"I'm not depressed. I'm just grieving." Kurt argued. "Can't I just have some time to say goodbye?" he practically yelled.
"Kurt, you are depressed. Not eating and sleeping is not normal." Blaine told him. "But, it doesn't have to be over. We can look into adoption again."
"Blaine, we've already tried that and they rejected us." Kurt said. "It's over. We'll never have a baby."
"No it's not. Yes, maybe we'll never have a baby, but that doesn't mean that we couldn't have a child." Blaine said. Kurt looked up at Blaine, obviously confused by what he meant. "Yes, China didn't approve us, but that doesn't mean that New York won't. There are kids right here that need good homes too." Blaine said. "I've been in contact with a social worker named Samantha Cooke, and she thinks that she may have a child that we could adopt." Kurt's teary face turned into a bright and happy one.
"Are you serious? We could have a child?" Kurt asked.
"Yes, if you're okay with having an older child." Blaine reminded him.
"I don't care how old they are." Kurt said. "As long as they'll be ours. When is the meeting?"
"This afternoon, I wanted to surprise you." Blaine replied.
"Oh gosh, I have to get ready." Kurt said as he wiped the tears from his face and raced into the bedroom to get ready. Blaine smiled. Things were finally starting to look up.
When they got to New York Adoption Agency, they took a seat in the waiting Kurt and Blaine were so nervous. They were both pulled out of their thoughts when Samantha called for "Mr and Mr Anderson Hummel." They clasped hands and followed her back to her office.
"So, I take it you're here because you're interested in adopting the two children that I mentioned to Blaine over the phone." She said a friendly smile on her face.
"Wait, two children?" Kurt asked as he looked over at Blaine who looked just as shocked as Kurt did.
"Yes, I did mention that to Blaine over the phone." Samantha replied. She opened up one of her desk drawers and pulled out a manila folder. Inside were a bunch of paper work and two photos. "This is Jayden and Isabella White." she said as she handed the photos over to Kurt and Blaine. "Jayden is five and Isabella is two."
Kurt and Blaine each looked at the photographs. The two children were adorable and they were still so little. "What's their story?" Blaine asked. "Are they orphans or do they still have a family?"
"Well, that's where things get a little complicated. Their mother, Hannah, died in childbirth with Isabella. They were living with their father, but we discovered that he was abusing both children and intervened and got them out of that environment. Their currently living in a foster home with five other children." Samantha told them. Kurt looked over to Blaine who was obviously battling a lot of emotion. "I'm sorry. Was it something I said?" Samantha asked Blaine.
"No, no. I'm sorry." Blaine apologized. "I can very much relate to them. I was abused as a child by my father. He's in jail now, but their story just brought up some memories."Blaine replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Samantha said. "I had no idea. If this matter is too personal for you, I can look into other children." she offered.
"No, I want them." Blaine said.
"Blaine, shouldn't we talk about this?" Kurt muttered under his breath.
"Kurt, we have been working for so long to start a family and this is our chance. Those kids don't need a foster home. They deserve a stable home after all that they've been through and why shouldn't that home be ours?" Blaine exclaimed.
"Their here, in the office, if you'd like to meet them?" Samantha interjected. Blaine looked to Kurt and they both nodded. Samantha got up from her chair and out of her office to go and get Jayden and Isabella.
"Blaine, do you really think you can handle this?" Kurt asked.
"I prayed everyday for someone to come and help me." Blaine replied. "I want that for those kids. It may have taken internal bleeding and three broken ribs for someone to finally notice that I was being abused, but that won't happen to these kids. We are going to be their dads and give them the lives that they deserve.
"Okay, if you can do this, then I can do it to." Kurt replied. "We're going to be dads." They heard footsteps coming down the hallway anxiously stood up. Samantha walked back into the room with a little girl and boy by her side. The little girl, Isabella, was nestled shyly in Samantha's chest and Jayden, the little boy, stood protectively in front of her and his sister.
"Kurt, Blaine, this is Jayden and Isabella." Samantha said."Jayden and Bella, would you like to go and say hi?" Jayden nodded and took his sister's hand as they walked towards Kurt and Blaine for the first time.
I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I'm hoping this story will be just as popular as "Imperfect Harmonies". If you want to read more about Blaine's background, I actually wrote a fic called "The Bruises Can't Stay Hidden Forever" It details the incident that Blaine talked about in this chapter and his fathers arrest. Go check it out!
