Hi Everyone!
As I guess you already know, I love Klaine mpreg stories. I already have the first few chapters written, so I decided to finally publish this. I hope you will like it just as much as I do.
Kurt Hummel had planned every single moment of his life. He had planned to work for a few years after college, meet a nice man and get married. And then, around 30, have his first child. And then another one, if he and his partner felt ready for that. His life had started as planned. He had gotten a great job at Vogue, way before he had finished his studies, so the first important point of his plan was granted. He only had to get the other one, the partner he needed before having the child he wanted to badly.
But that was where things went wrong.
While working hard for a good position, Kurt had had no time to date. Years had passed so quickly and before he realized what was happening, he turned 30. He woke up that morning like every single day, made himself a coffee and sat down in his living room. He was halfway done with his drink when he realized what day it was. His birthday. His 30th birthday to be exact.
Kurt sighed sadly and put his mug down. It should have been an amazing day. He should have celebrated it with his family, his husband, with their child. Because that was how he had planned things. It wasn't like he considered himself old, not at all. He was still young and healthy, so he had no reason to be desperate. Okay, he shouldn't have been but he was. He had to be rational. His mother had died when he had been a small child and his father wasn't too healthy either, although he wasn't even 55. With such a history, even if he was careful, Kurt couldn't be sure if he lived long enough to raise his children, not if he didn't start his own family sometime soon.
But how could he do it when he didn't have a partner for that? He didn't want to be a single dad. He wanted to get married first, to the person he loved, and have children from him. He was lucky because he was one of the carriers, men with a special gene that allowed them to get pregnant. Since he had a chance to get pregnant with his child, he never considered adoption. No, he wanted to experience every single moment of parenthood, from the first pregnancy to the moment his child took breath the first time. But then, again, he had no partner for that. He was all alone and he couldn't even be sure he would meet someone anytime soon.
So the day of Kurt's birthday started like a horrible one. He got ready and went to work, deciding to act like this day wasn't an important one. But as time passed, he found himself thinking more and more about babies. He didn't want to give up his plan to become father of at least one child. He wanted it so badly. More than getting married. Yes, he would be willing to give up his chance to marry the person he loved if it meant he could have a child. He wanted. it. He needed it.
By the time his lunch break ended, he already had a plan. A crazy one but it was a plan. And his plans usually worked. He loved plans. He was good in them. So he decided to do what women in his situation often did: he called a fertility clinic and made an appointment. It was a rushed decision but he knew himself. He would think too much about if he gave himself time and he would convince himself that he had enough time left. He would waste another year or more searching for love and he would run out of time while doing so. No. He wouldn't let that happen. He had given himself enough time to find someone he could love but the dozens of dates from the previous years proved that he was better on his own. He had never gotten through the first month, he had always found something in the other men he didn't like. Some of them were always late, others wanted sex too early. They were too short. Or too tall. Talked too much. Didn't talk enough. So it was better if he stopped searching and focused on more important things. Like getting pregnant.
He was lucky. They could see him the next day. Kurt didn't like waiting, so he agreed immediately. That was it. He would get pregnant soon. He had no idea how it worked but it couldn't be that complicated. He was healthy, he could easily get pregnant. He just had to pick out a nice looking guy and get his sperms. Who knew, maybe he would be pregnant by the time he celebrated his birthday with his friends that weekend. Kurt smiled at the thought. Yes, it would be amazing.
By the time he arrived at the clinic the next day, he was nervous. It was a huge step after all. Once he walked out of this building, he wouldn't be alone anymore. There would be a little life inside of him, someone he had to take care of for the rest of his life. Still, Kurt didn't regret his decision. He wanted this. He wanted that child so badly.
He was annoyed by how many papers he had to fill. They asked him about everything, his lifestyle, his job, his hobbies, his family, literally everything. So Kurt took a deep breath and spent the next hour going through all those questions, telling himself over and over again that it was necessary to have the baby he wanted. They needed his answers to get him the best donor. Kurt didn't care what the other man looked like, he still hoped that he would see a picture of him before getting his sperms. And some information wouldn't hurt either. He wanted someone healthy and clever. His baby had to get the best genes possible.
"Please, take a seat" the assistant said as she led Kurt into a room where it was just the two of them. "Doctor Morris will be here soon."
"Thank you" Kurt said and leaned back on the chair, taking a deep breath.
He was still nervous and a little bit scared. Because it was all new for him but he had to get used to it if he got pregnant. Although he was lucky because his best friend was a gynecologist, too, Kurt wasn't sure if he could help him with this. He didn't even have a chance to talk to him. Sebastian was out of the city and wouldn't be back for a week or so. And Kurt couldn't wait so long. Not to mention that asking for his friend's help in such a thing… No. It was better to leave Sebastian out of it.
The door opened and a middle aged man stepped inside. Kurt sat up excitedly. It had to be the doctor.
"Mr Hummel" the man nodded towards him and took a seat beside him. "I'm Doctor Morris."
"Thank you for seeing me so early" Kurt said.
"I looked into your files. So you are a carrier?" the doctor asked.
"Yes" Kurt nodded. "A perfectly healthy one. Absolutely ready to get pregnant."
"We'll see" the doctor laughed. "We can make a few tests today and my assistant will call you once we get the results. Then you can make another appointment for the next tests."
"Oh" Kurt said in surprise. "Do you have to run more tests?"
"Of course" the doctor said. "We have to make sure you're ready for a baby."
"I'm ready" Kurt said quickly. "Really, I know what I'm doing. I have everything to raise a child and I can't wait to get pregnant."
"If everything goes well, we can start the process within a few weeks" the doctor said.
"I have to wait so long?" Kurt asked.
"Of course" the doctor smiled again as if he was explaining things to a small child. "It'll take months if you are lucky. Most carriers don't get pregnant too easily, so there's a chance that we have to repeat the insemination."
"Why do I have a feeling that I have to wait between inseminations?" Kurt asked.
"Your body has to get ready for the new one" the doctor said. "So yes. We have to wait a few weeks if not more to try again."
Now Kurt was really disappointed. He had thought that it was an easy process but the doctor scared him. What if he wouldn't have a child anytime soon? What if it wouldn't happen within the next few years? He would be too old to have a baby in the end… He had been such an idiot. He had wasted precious years from his life and now he was running out of time...
"This is not the answer you expected" the doctor said knowingly.
"I thought it was a lot simpler" Kurt muttered.
"We have to make sure both you and your baby is healthy" the doctor said. "So we have to be careful."
"Especially since I'm a man" Kurt grimanced. Life was so cruel.
"As I said, we can make a few tests today and talk about the next steps when we get the results. Do you still want it?" the doctor asked.
"Yes" Kurt said without hesitation. "I want to have a child. If I have to wait for years, I will."
"Let's be positive and hope that it won't take you so long" the doctor said.
"So where do we start?" Kurt asked.
The doctor reached for something on the table beside them and Kurt gulped nervously as his eyes landed on the long needle in the doctor's hand.
"Blood samples" the doctor said.
"Of course" Kurt muttered. He had a bad feeling that it would only get worse. He had to get used to it.
Half an hour later, he finally left the clinic. He tried not to be too upset but he couldn't stop worrying. He had been so stupid… He had thought that getting pregnant was easy but now he had to go through a very long process and even after that he couldn't be sure if he would have a child on his own. Maybe he should consider adoption… It would be a lot faster and easier for sure.
He decided to get himself a coffee and checked on his phone on his way to his favourite coffee shop. Rachel had called him several times, it must have been something important, so he quickly called her back.
"God, I called you like a hundred times" Rachel said when she answered the call.
"Only six times" Kurt corrected her. "What is so important?"
"Somebody isn't in a good mood today" Rachel said.
"I have a long and awfully busy day" Kurt said. "So why did you call me?"
"Oh, I know we agreed to organize a small party for you…"
"Oh, no. Please" Kurt groaned.
"...But it's your 30th birthday! It's a huge thing!" Rachel continued. "Do you remember that new club just across the street?"
"I don't want to celebrate my birthday with a lot of people I don't even know" Kurt said.
"But it'll be fun" Rachel said. "I won't take no as answer. You have to move out, meet new people…"
"I don't want to meet new people" Kurt said.
"I'll be there for you at 7 on Saturday" Rachel said. "Wear something sexy."
"But…"
She disconnected the call before Kurt could say more.
"Great" he muttered. "As if I would hook up with some stranger."
Kurt shook his head and pushed his phone back into his pocket, completely unaware of how that night would change his life.
