Kurt Hummel had always wanted kids. Just imagining a child, looking up at him, trusting him with all their might was enough to brighten up his day. The only problem was, obviously, being gay made it impossible to naturally conceive a baby with Blaine. The only other options were adoption or a surrogate. He and Blaine had had many discussions about that particular subject, and they both agreed that they would be happy with both but, with the amount of mistreated children in orphanages around the world, they probably would probably be better off just adopting.
After that was decided, the two of them spent many hours applying to adoption agencies. "This is ridiculous." Blaine said to Kurt halfway through filling out their numerous applications. "Race preferred?" He read off of the paper. "I'd be happy with any child!" Kurt nodded "I know, just check all of the boxes, I guess" Kurt sighed and went through the papers again. "Holy crap. This is insane. We are going to lose our minds after all of this." "Yeah, I'm canning it for today. What do you feel like for dinner?"
Kurt woke up the next morning with a bad mood. He was feeling discouraged about the whole adoption thing. Lacking his usual chipper self, he walked into work (at , he would usually input, but he was too grumpy to be smug today) wearing a face of I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Isabelle noticed and commented about it. "Kurt, why do you look so mad?" She asked. "Did you know how hard it is to adopt?" Kurt responded "It literally is the hardest thing ever! First you have to answer all these questions and then if they like you, they'll interview you. And if they still like you after all of that, they can't even guarantee that any birth parents will pick you." "It's that hard to adopt a dog?" Kurt rolled his eyes "No, a baby." "Oh" Isabelle nodded and her face displayed a sympathetic emotion for a moment, then an idea popped into her head.
"Kurt, I have a friend who's going to set her baby up for adoption, maybe instead of giving the baby to a stranger, she could give it to you guys instead!" Kurt smiled "Thanks, Isabelle. But would she even be okay giving up her baby to a, you know, gay couple." "Well I should think so! She's a lesbian!" "Wait , what? If she's a lesbian then how did she even get pregnant in the first place?" Was he missing something here? Isabelle just grimaced awkwardly for a second then said "Yeah I'm not exactly sure either. I think she drinks sometimes, like, a lot. So, should I tell her that you guys are interested, or?" "Are you serious? Like you actually think that she would give us her baby?" Isabelle grinned "Yeah! If you're interested I can call Cathie and tell her about you guys. I'm almost sure she will! You probably just have to sign some papers and you'll be all set!" "Oh Isabelle, would you?" "I already said I would!"
2 weeks later, Kurt and Blaine were on their way to their first interview with Cathie. "Is this woman seriously going to give us her baby?" Blaine asked Kurt that morning. "I guess so, I mean, we never even met her before so she might meet us and not want to. But Isabelle said she had no problem with it, apparently she doesn't care who takes the baby as long as it's off her hands. It's actually really sad. That poor baby." Blaine looked shocked "That's terrible!" "I know. Oh! Here's her house, 32 Gigolo Lane." Kurt said as Blaine pulled into the driveway of a rundown farmhouse. They got out, walked to the front door and knocked.
After waiting patiently for 5 minutes, Blaine turned to Kurt and said "Ok, it's obvious, she's either not home, or you got the wrong address. Are you sure this is the right place?" Kurt nodded then checked the address Isabelle had given him, twice. "Yeah that's what she gave me. Maybe she's not home" As they turned to go back in the car, they heard the door open. Standing in the doorway was a woman that completely reminded Blaine of someone who had just traveled here from the 1960s. She was about average height with her reddish-blondish hair hanging loosely down her back. She wore a long flowy skirt, a big blouse and a worn leather vest. She looked young though, mid-twenties at the most, without a wrinkle to be seen on her face.
"Oh, hello! I'm Kurt Hummel, you must be Cathie." Kurt said after a moment. "Uh, yeah. C'mon in." Cathie responded as she led them inside. If Blaine thought that Cathie's wardrobe was the only thing from the 60s, he was mistaken. There were shag rugs covering the floors, and pod shaped chairs lined the living room. The only word that popped into his mind was mod.
"So you guys wanna adopt the baby?" She asked after they were all settled on her vintage couch. "Yes, Isabelle said that you were looking for a family to adopt your baby, and we have always wanted to be parents so we thought this might be the perfect opportunity." Kurt said. "So are you two married?" She asked. "Yes," Blaine responded "For 3 years, actually. But we've been together for 8." She nodded slowly. "That's nice, I guess. You know, spend your life with somebody. I don't think I'll ever do that. I'm more of a like "one night stand" kind of person. But that's great for you guys." She sighed, thinking for a minute then announced "I'm making tea, do you want anything? I think I have some coffee too if you want it." "Tea would be great, thanks." Kurt said.
As soon as she left the room, Blaine looked at Kurt "Is it just me, or do you think that she's not emotionally stable?" Kurt nodded quickly "She might not be thoroughly sane, but she might be the biological mother of our future child, Blaine. We have to respect that." "Oh, I know, just wondering" Blaine said as Cathie walked back in with 3 cups of tea, and milk and sugar. "Do you mind if I ask just a few more questions?" Cathie asked, pouring milk into her tea. "Not at all! What are your questions?" "Well do you either of you hold any jobs currently?" "We both do, actually. I work at and Blaine teaches musical theatre at NYU." Kurt said. "My hours are fairly flexible though. So I can probably take time off as needed."
Cathie nodded to herself for a moment then quietly asked "Are either of you prone to aggression?" She asked quietly. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other, then Blaine assured her that neither of them got aggressive or abusive ever. "Even when you're angry?" "Even when we're angry." Cathie took a deep breath. "Good, then you aren't like my parents. Ok, I'm done with my questions. You can ask me things too, if you want or something."
Kurt nodded and took the lead "Where do you work?" "I answer phones at the insurance agency down the road" "Who's the father?" "I know this might sound weird, but I don't know! I just got drunk and woke up in a stranger's bed! Funny, right?" "Uh, yeah. But do you drink now, even while you're pregnant?" She shook her head "I figure people will be more likely to adopt this thing if I don't drink, so the kid turns out healthy, no one wants a messed up kid!" Kurt and Blaine grimaced.
"You know Cathie, that's not a very nice thing to say. Inside of you right now is a baby. A little, tiny baby with so much potential as a human being. Please stop referring to your baby as it. Please." Kurt spoke up. Cathie looked immediately guilty "I'm sorry. I never thought of itlike that before. Please forgive me?" She asked Kurt. "Of course." "Well great! So my due date is April 9th, my first ultrasound is in 2 weeks" She scribbled something on a piece of paper quickly "Here's my phone number. Don't hesitate to call to check up on the kid. I think it'll be really happy with you guys as it's parents"
"Thank you! So much!" Blaine exclaimed. "I should actually be thanking you for getting this thing off of my hands! But you're welcome anyways!" Cathie said as she led them out the door. Kurt just rolled his eyes but wow he thought I could actually be a parent!
This might've been really bad but, constructive criticism please? I have more chapters, I just haven't posted them yet. So tell me if I should post more or just not waste my time. THANK YOU
