"Blaine!"

The man in question turned and was shocked to see Rachel and Finn walking quickly along the sidewalk to catch up to him. He was shocked that the woman would want to come back into public after what she had went through. "Rachel," he said softly.

"I just wanted to say that if the community hadn't stepped in when they did, our marriage would be over. Bless you! And you two keep trying, don't give up on that baby yet," she said, grinning.

Blaine gave the woman a confused look before thanking her and walking away.


"Kurt," Blaine called as he stepped into the house. "I just ran into Finn and Rachel -"

"Quinn came by," Kurt interrupted.

Quinn stood as the other man cam further into the room. "We like to stop by after new neighbors have been here for a while. To see how they're adjusting," she said sweetly.

"And we're great. Right, Blaine?" Kurt answered, looking to his husband.

"Yeah, great."

Quinn smiled wider and looked around. "It's obvious. Your house is wonderful. It shows pride of ownership."

The trio stood in silence for a moment before Blaine spoke up, "I don't mean to be rude, but if you want something from me, if you want me to volunteer for another meeting - "

Blaine was once again interrupted by his partner, "they're concerned about us." he said.

"Because?"

"Because we're not pregnant yet," Kurt said.

"There's no need to panic," Quinn interjected. "It happens to lots of couples. We just want you to know that we can help."

Blaine crossed his arms and frowned, "we don't want your help. Our private life is our business. We are fine."

"I know," the blonde stated quickly. "I just want you to explore every possibility. We have fertility specialists, we have donors, there are many options."

Kurt looked away as Blaine became more defensive. "Okay, you need to leave," the darker male said.

Quinn slowly started to exit the room, moving around the couple. "I truly want to help. Now I suggest you really take a look at the resident's agreement that you both signed. We have every right to be concerned." She stopped behind the couple, making them turn to face her. She gave them a look that seem to say that she knew she was in control and would be obeyed before she quickly turned on her heel and left the house.


"Child shall be conceived within a period of up to and including but not to exceed six months from the first day of residency. Failure to do so will result in the foreclosure of your property." Blaine read.

He and Kurt had been looking through all of their paperwork about the house and community for an hour before they finally found the right section. "Can they do that?" Kurt asked, sounding concerned. "I don't want to leave."

Blaine flung the paper onto the coffee table in front of him. "I don't either, but they're trying to control us. They're telling us when to have a baby."

"I know, but that's why we're here. To raise a family in a safe environment. They made that possible. Look at their success rate, it obviously works," Kurt exclaimed. He held Blaine's gaze for a moment. "I want this for us. What are we going to do?"


Kurt wrapped his arm around Blaine's waist as they sat in Quinn's office. "We want to do everything we can to uphold the agreement, but what if we're unable to conceive?" He asked.

"That's highly unlikely given your combined genetics, but you would be in default. You'd love the house, any equity, your credit would be damaged for years. It would be unpleasant." The blonde woman answered. Her sympathetic tone wasn't fooling Blaine. He knew she didn't care about their problems, she only wanted her methods to be proven successful.

"What if we had a miscarriage or we just wanted to move?" The taller man asked.

Quinn shook her head, "sorry, no. That's all covered in your agreement."

"So, basically, we're trapped here? Expected to mate on demand," Blaine said.

Kurt squeezed him to try and calm him down as Quinn answered, "you make it sound like it's a zoo."

"You're saying that every couple for the last twenty years has spit out babies on your schedule and lived happily ever after?"

"It's a delicate bio-social balance. We have singles, we have couples without children, we've never asked anyone to conceive that wasn't already planning on doing so. Now in the application, that you signed, you stated that you wanted to become pregnant within six months. Now I can show you if you don't remember. We've been doing this a long time. We're very good at choosing our neighbors. We have faith in you."

Blaine hung his head and let out a groan. This was not how he planned to start his family with Kurt.


"Why would you sign this? Why didn't you call me first? Nick asked, sounding shocked.

Blaine sighed, "is it legal?"

"It's a legal document. It's a ridiculous breech of civil liberties, but you signed it."

"I just want some control," Blaine said quietly.

"Move!"

Blaine shook his head before remembering that Nick couldn't see him. "We can't. Kurt doesn't want to move. He doesn't know I called you about this. If we have a baby, we're stuck in this place."

"What do you want me to do, Blaine?" Nick asked.

"Help me find the previous owners. Run a credit check, get a number, they got out and I want to know how."


Kurt took a sip of his coffee before looking back at his two friends. Mercedes and another woman that Kurt had quickly become friends with, Tina, sat in front of him at the small cafe. "I can't believe we may lose all of this," he said sadly. "All I want to do it raise a family here."

"Don't give up," Mercedes told him, "it's all worth it."

"Once you feel your baby start kicking, you know you're not just living for yourself anymore. Your priorities change completely. I love my house, but what's important, why we're really here is for our kids." Tina said, giving him a big smile.

"Just realize how lucky you are to be here and do whatever you can to hold onto it."


"She's not feeling well. I'm sorry, Blaine," Brittany said sharply.

"I just need to ask her a few questions," the man said desperately. He looked behind the blonde to see Santana shuffling into the room, but stopping behind the open door, only slightly peeking out to see him. "I'm sorry about your aunt, Santana, but I really need to know what happened to the couple that used to live in our house."

"Leave her alone, Blaine." Brittany told him.

Blaine ignored her and continued speaking to the Latina, "this agreement we signed, we didn't realize that it was insane and I need to know how that family got out." He watched as Santana leaned further around the door. "What happened to you?"

Santana didn't answer. She continued to stare at the man as her wife tried to make him leave. "Go home. We can't help you," the blonde demanded before shutting the door.
