Chapter 7

A/N: Hello loves, I have no clue when I'll be able to update next because my finals are going to be killer but here's the next chapter!

Kurt's phone rang loudly at 6:45, a full fifteen minutes before Kurt normally woke up on the next morning. It was Sunday after all.

"Are you going to accept my offer?" Jessie asked as soon as he answered.

Kurt tried to cover his yawn as he pulled the covers back and slipped out of bed and grabbed his robe to slip into the kitchen before Blaine woke up.

"I haven't even had coffee yet," Kurt said without acknowledging her question.

"Good because if you're still as serious about all this as you were last night and are willing to accept my offer then I think we should talk it over more."

Kurt was at a loss of words.

"I promise I have thought about every aspect of it and right now I really need some sort of job or purpose to my life. It would be an honor for me to help you guys out. Please say something because I'm getting nervous and rambling now," she continued.

"Uh, yes. Why don't you come over around 10 and we'll have brunch and talk about it more. You are an angel, Jess," Kurt beamed.

"Perfect! I'll see you guys then!" Jess exclaimed in excitement.

Kurt hung up and tapped his phone against his chin. Was this really happening? It now felt so sudden and Jess had agreed to be their surrogate and Kurt could not contain his excitement.

"Blaine, baby, it's time to get up," Kurt called.

Blaine stirred in bed before turning over and burring his face deeper into the pillows.

"Blaine," Kurt as he sat on the edge of the bed and stroked his sleepy husband's curls.

"What time is it?"Blaine's muffled growl escape the pillow.

"It's seven," Kurt answered and laughed when Blaine moaned louder.

"Why?" he groaned dramatically.

"Just listen. Jessie called and she's coming over for brunch in 3 hours and we need to be ready so it's time to get up," he said with a smack to the hump of Blaine's butt under the covers.

"But sleep," Blaine turned towards him and pouted adorably.

"Consider it practice for when we have a baby," Kurt smiled.

At the word "baby" Blaine perked up and stretched his limbs with a yawn. "Are you sure you don't want to join me back in bed for another hour or two?" Blaine tempted.

"I have to go to the store and get some things for brunch. I know Jessie isn't going to expect us to do anything special but I really want to. We'll never be able to pay her back for doing this for us. She is so wonderful."

"Yeah she is," Blaine smiled dopily up at Kurt. "I love you so much, Kurt. I'd marry you again and again if I could."

Kurt rolled his eyes at Blaine's cheesiness but he was smiling. "Get up, Romeo. You can have the first shower while I make coffee."

"Are you sure you don't want to join me?" Blaine winked.

"Did you seriously just wink at me? I was considering it but now I think I'll pass," Kurt smirked while Blaine narrowed his eyes at Kurt and frowned playfully.

"You're mean," Blaine pouted childishly.

"Just get in the shower before I drink all the coffee," Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine's cheek before getting up.

"Can you make waffles for brunch?" Blaine asked, forgetting to pretend to be annoyed at Kurt.

"Sure, honey. Now go," Kurt shooed him lovingly towards the bathroom.

…..

By 9:45 the table was set with the better silverware and various bowls of freshly sliced fruit were on the table while Kurt worked on candying walnuts on the stove.

"Can I do anything else to help?" Blaine asked as he leaned over the kitchen island and rested on his elbows.

"No, I think I've just about got everything covered," Kurt answered a he shut off the stove with a flick of his wrist and without looking away from the pan, emptied the hot contents into a bowl.

Blaine started fussing with the table setting out of boredom until the doorbell rang a few minutes later and he jumped up to get it.

"Hey Jess, long time no see," Blaine laughed at his own joke as he let her in and kissed her on the cheek.

"You're such a dork, Blaine. Thank god, Kurt's going to be the bio dad," she joked and grinned widely.

"You can say that again," Kurt called from the kitchen.

"I will not stand for this poor treatment," Blaine scoffed in mock anger.

"Hi Jess, you look lovely," Kurt greeted as he placed a plate of freshly made homemade cinnamon waffles on the table before he made his way over to her to hug her tightly.

"Thanks, Kurt. I never know what to wear around you," she admitted.

"Oh honey, you have fabulous style," Kurt dismissed. "Now let's eat while everything is hot."

"Kurt, you are spoiling me. This looks amazing. Blaine, don't let this one go or I'll snatch him up, I swear to god."

"He's stuck with me forever and I have the ring to prove it," Blaine chuckled.

They settled in to load their plates with Kurt's homemade sauces and topping. They chatted casually as they ate and shared crazy college stories.

"Please let me do this for you," Jessie said seriously when there was a lull in conversation. "I can tell that you guys don't want to get your hopes up in case it doesn't work out but I'll do whatever you think is best for your baby. I don't do drugs and I only drink occasionally and I'm a horrible cook but this is really important to me."

"We've just heard too many horror stories of things not working out but we have no doubt that you'd be perfect. That's why you were our first choice," Blaine assured her.

"So what's our next step?" Jess beamed.

"We need to make an appointment with an OB/GYN. Now, I've heard that Dr. Peterson is the best but has a two month waiting list but my assistant is his niece so I'll see if we can make an appointment sometime soon. What's your schedule like?" Kurt switched into his excited planning mode.

"I'm free as a bird. Just tell me when and where and I'll be there.

The rest of the midmorning and afternoon was spent making loose plans for future doctor's appointments and Kurt and Blaine taking Jessie through all of the research they had been doing.

"According to Ali and our mother, our family is infamous for having easy pregnancies," Jess added at one point.

"Right, I remember Ali's pregnancies and even the births were relatively easy," Blaine nodded.

"I promise not to be an unbearable pregnant diva," Jess lifted her fingers in a scouts honor.

"We'd forgive you if you were," Blaine smiled.

"I feel really good about this," Jess said earnestly as she hugged them goodbye later.

"Us too," Kurt beamed and bit his bottom lip.

"Take care, Jess. Well be in touch about that appointment soon," Blaine added.

"Looking forward to it!" She called before she turned and left with one last wave to Kurt and Blaine.

"When do you think it'll finally hit us that this is all actually happening?" Blaine murmured into Kurt's hair.

"I don't know. It still feels so far away. Maybe it'll finally sink in when we get the positive pregnancy test."

"Or knowing you, when the baby actually comes; you always worry about everything."

"There's just so much that we can't control in this situation and I really want a baby," Kurt sighed into Blaine.

"I know, sweetheart, and we'll have one. One way or another, we'll have our baby. Jess is excited and willing. We really lucked out so far," Blaine pointed out.

"I guess that's true," Kurt gave in as he kissed Blaine's cheek and moved to clear the table.

Their journey was just beginning but Kurt couldn't wait to experience everything that life threw at them with Blaine at his side.
