I don't own anything. All rights are owned by someone else.
The next few months went by fairly quickly. When Kurt and Blaine weren't prepping for the baby, they were calling Cathie for an update.
"Jesus, Kurt. This is the second time you've called today! Trust me, I haven't drank any alcohol so far. Stop worrying or I will run over to your house and slap you. I mean it too, pregnancy hormones make women do some crazy shit. I spent all of last night watching celebrity sex tapes!"
Kurt sighed and reminded her "Just don't do anything that might hurt the baby. Or yourself." as he hung up the phone. "I swear Blaine, that woman is crazy. It wouldn't surprise me if she was actually insane."
Blaine laughed then said "Hey, you said it yourself. She is our child's biological mother. We have to respect that. And remember what she asked in the interview? She asked if we were ever abusive. I think she might have had a bad childhood or something. We can't make fun of her for that."
Kurt nodded "You're right. You always are. But still, today she told me she watched celebrity sex tapes all night last night, and the day before that she told me she had just ate an entire watermelon. And not just the inside part either. She ate the whole green part too! Oh well, she is carrying our child so I should just be grateful for her existence."
Blaine just smiled and looked down at his cereal, thinking about how nice it would be to have a child in their house.
"Alright, well I'm going to bed. I've gotta be at work at 7 tomorrow. 7, Blaine! Isabelle is trying to kill me!" Kurt rolled his eyes and said goodnight to Blaine then walked down the hall to the bedroom.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Blaine asked Kurt one night over dinner.
"Well if it's a boy I think we should name him George. Like Kate Middleton and Prince William's son. But for a girl, I can't think of any that I like!" Blaine grinned at that then said "I like George, I guess. You know-" Blaine said slowly, "What about Finn? We could name him after Finn?" He asked wearily.
Kurt smiled and said "I actually like that idea. I'm still hung up on a girl's name though."
"Well, I have a student named Lydia, I think that's a pretty name don't you think? Or my grandmother's name was Adelaide Rose. That's another possibility. Or maybe we should name her after a famous person like Whitney or something! But maybe we should actually name her after your mom." Blaine said softly.
Kurt shook his head. "No, I'm sorry. I loved my mom, but I don't think I could do that to my dad."
Blaine gave him a little smile. "It's ok, just a suggestion. But don't you think maybe Carole would mind naming our son Finn? After all, he was her only son."
"Oh gosh, you're right. I never thought of it like that. Maybe we should ask her, I'd ask my dad about naming our daughter after my mother but to be quite honest, I don't think I'd be ok with that, you know? Her name was hers and hers only. I wonder why I don't feel that way with Finn's name?" Kurt wondered.
"I know exactly why." Blaine said warmly. "You know that's what Finn would've wanted and he'd be fine with it because you knew him so well. But with your mom, you were only 8 when she died. There are a lot of things you forgot or don't remember about her. Yet, you love her and miss her anyways. Therefore, you think of her as almost a god. You put her on a pedestal. There's nothing wrong with that, but you just can't mentally name someone after her, because you don't know if she would've wanted that or not."
Kurt sighed shakily "I guess you're right. I don't really remember a whole hell of a lot about her. And if I name the baby after her, I'm just afraid I'll forget even more about her, or what if the horrible memories of her being ill and my grief after she died, tamper with what should be happy memories of our child?"
His voice broke on the last word and was followed by him sobbing into Blaine's shoulder for 10 minutes.
"Hey, hey, it's ok, you're fine. Shh, shh, I'm sorry I brought it up. It's ok, I'm here, I'm here." Blaine comforted him.
After a while, Kurt shook his head. "No, I'm actually glad you brought it up. I've been putting it off too long. I needed that, thank you. I love you."
The reality of actually having a baby in their house suddenly seemed to sink in when they saw the ultrasound of their baby at the gynecologist office with Cathie. When Kurt got tears in his eyes, Cathie-as charming as ever- rolled her eyes at him and asked "Why are you crying? Isn't that what a baby is supposed to look like? Geez, you'd better not leave me hangin' when this thing's born! You said you'd adopt it and you know, you shouldn't make promises you can't keep!"
Kurt shook his head "No, Cathie these are happy tears, don't worry."
"Oh, well good then! I was gettin' worried there. Just for the baby's sake you shouldn't leave me alone to raise her! "
Kurt and Blaine looked shocked as Cathie just announced the gender of their baby.
"Oh, shit. I did that right? Dammit. Actually, who the hell was I kidding, I never could keep a secret anyway! Whoops!" Cathie laughed while Kurt and Blaine embraced each other.
"I can't believe she did that! You know, it was supposed to be a surprise but whatever now. It's all out the window!" Kurt grumbled on the ride home.
"I thought you'd be happy if it was a girl. You'd have someone else to shop with, get designer outfits for, talk about the latest Marc Jacobs collection with?"
Kurt laughed "That's true, but I still kinda wish it was a surprise instead. Don't you? Although, I am glad that the new infant collections will be coming out around when she'll be born. She'll be the best dressed baby in town! I can't wait!"
