Elizabeth loved her baby brother. She wanted to help Kurt and Blaine with everything. Changing him, dressing him, bathing him, and singing to him at bedtime. She would sit with him for hours while he slept, if she didn't fall asleep herself, and whenever somebody had visited to see the new baby, she always chatted about how much she loved him for as long as anybody would listen.

Kurt had laughed the first time she made a disgusted face, when Blaine had to change a dirty, stinky diaper, and another face when Alex had thrown up all over her when she was talking to him. But most of the time, she was besotted with him.

But Alex...Alex was a screamer.

The first time they had found that out, was on day 2, after his birth. Kurt had just fed him, and put him to bed, for the first few weeks they had decided he would be sleeping in his little basket, in Blaine and Kurt's bedroom. But as soon as Kurt had lay him down inside it, he had let out an almighty, high pitched scream, that Kurt winced slightly as his ears rang.

Blaine had run into the room, from where he was probably getting Elizabeth settled down in her bed, and he looked around the room in panic for a moment, before his eyes landed on Kurt's face, wincing as he picked the screaming baby back out of his basket.

"Oh my God!" Blaine yelled above the scream, and Kurt nodded as he tried hushing Alex, and rocking him gently side to side. But nothing worked.

Alex kept screaming. And Blaine and Kurt hardly slept, because Alex screamed at night, whenever he was placed in his bed. He didn't like being separated from Kurt, and nobody had a clue what to do about it. Kurt was the only one that was able to calm Alex down, but whenever he had to go out or leave the room, Alex seemed to sense it and screamed again.

For 2 weeks straight, Kurt had been sleeping with baby Alex on his chest, and Blaine was starting to feel a little jealous.

He was frustrated, he needed his mate, but on top of that, Alex didn't seem to like him too much. Blaine sighed as he walked into their bedroom to see Alex asleep on the bed with Kurt, and he looked down at his sleeping son, wishing there was someway he could ease Alex into sleeping in his crib or basket, but every time he cried or screamed it made Kurt a little crazy and he had to pick him back up.

After week 3 had gone by, and Kurt was still sleeping with the baby, Blaine looked to his own mother for help. He skyped her, when Kurt was asleep.

After the screen connected and her face appeared, Blaine choked and started sobbing, he told her everything through his tears, and she was trying to hush him, but she couldn't do anything to calm him down.

"Blaine, sweetheart, listen to me!" She tried as he quieted through the screen, and he held in his breath as she spoke, trying to keep himself from falling apart. "Now more than ever, Kurt needs you, I'm afraid I don't have a solution, Cooper and yourself, you slept perfectly fine. But I think Kurt might feel a little better if you tried harder...and you need to try harder Blaine, you can't keep this up."

"I know...but I don't know what to do." He replied in a small voice, and her heart broke for her son, as she looked over his tired face.

"Sweetheart, I think you need to just let him cry."

"But Kurt-" Blaine started and she nodded.

"I know, it's going to be hard for Kurt to let go of that need to comfort the baby, while he's screaming, that's where you come in, you comfort Kurt, Blaine. Be there for him...it will be difficult and you might argue, but if it works, everything will be better."

"I guess..."

"Sweetheart, do you need me to come to you? Help you?" She asked and he shook his head slowly.

"No...it's ok, I'll try what you said."

"If Kurt lashes out at you, it's only because it's stress ok, try to keep a level head baby. For Kurt."

"Ok."

"I love you all so much, if you need to talk anymore, you let me know."

"I know, we love you too, mom. Thanks."

"You're welcome sweetie."

After the call disconnected, Blaine felt too tired to move, and he fell asleep on the couch. He was woken in the morning by a tiny body hopping onto his chest, and he tiredly wrapped his arms around his daughter while he yawned.

"Hi, daddy!" Elizabeth greeted him loudly, and he smiled tiredly up at her.

"Hey, princess." She lay down on his chest and hugged him, and he chuckled a little while running a hand through her hair.

"Hey."

Blaine looked up at the voice above him, Kurt looking down at him with a small smile.

"You didn't come to bed last night, everything ok?" He asked with worried eyes, and Blaine nodded before he sat up, dislodging his daughter, who got down off the couch and began playing with toys.

"Yeah, I'm ok, just got tired after talking to my mom." Blaine said as he gestured to the laptop on the table.

"Oh," Kurt said as he sat down next to Blaine, Alex firmly latched onto his chest for his morning feed, "Blaine is everything ok?"

"No...not really." Blaine said quietly as he shrugged and Kurt tilted his head slightly as he watched him, "Can we talk?"

"Now?" Kurt asked in a quiet voice, and Blaine shrugged.

"As soon as possible."

"Sure, ok." Kurt replied, and he looked down at Alex, and then back up at Blaine, "Shall I go and wake up one of the guys to watch them?"

"No, it can wait until one of them wakes up." Blaine smiled at him as he reached out to stroke his son's face, Alex murmured but continued sucking. "I love you Kurt."

"I know, I love you too...You want to talk about Alex don't you?"

"Yes." Blaine said as he continued touching and patting his son, "But I don't want to argue, it's ok if you don't want to do it, but my mom suggested something and I think we should try it."

Kurt nodded as he looked down at their son, and Blaine leaned in and gave Kurt's forehead a kiss, before placing one on Alex's head.

Not long after, Sam was up, and Kurt asked him to keep an eye on the kids, while he and Blaine had to talk about something, and Sam winced as Kurt placed baby Alex in his arms, and he and Blaine quickly left the living room before Alex started screaming, but half way up the stairs they heard him, and Kurt looked desperate to run back down again, but Blaine held his hand as they went upstairs, and he swallowed hard and carried on.

As soon as they entered their bedroom, Blaine shut the door, and Kurt sat on the bed, fidgeting with his hands.

Blaine sighed as he walked over to him, and knelt on the floor in front of him and clutched his hands, Kurt's eyes were wet, and Blaine felt bad for it but they needed to talk.

"I know that it's hard, to hear him crying and not run to him, but I need you to focus on me for a minute, ok?" Kurt nodded as a couple of tears fell, and Blaine smiled softly as he reached up to wipe them away. "This is killing us, Kurt. I'm not sleeping properly, and neither are you. And Alex isn't going to get adjusted to our life if we don't try every possible option."

"What did your mom say?" Kurt asked and Blaine could tell by his voice that this was incredibly hard for him, as the baby continued screaming from downstairs.

"She suggested we just let him cry it out, Kurt."

Kurt tensed a little as he said it, and Blaine placed his arms around his waist, and edged a little closer to him, trying to comfort Kurt as much as possible.

"I know it is going to be very difficult, but if it works, then maybe I can go to him in the middle of the night, like I want to, and give you a little break, baby." He tried explaining and Kurt just nodded, but his eyes were focused on the door.

"Kurt?" He said and Kurt looked down at him, the stress clearly showing on his face and Blaine sighed. "I don't want to stress you out even more, but baby, I think we should try it. But I need to know that you want to try it too."

Kurt stared at Blaine as his words sank in and he thought about for a little while, before he sighed too.

"Yeah, ok...we can try." He said quietly, before he eyed the door again, but Blaine brought his face back to him, and kissed him.

Kurt kissed back as his eyes closed, and Blaine pressed their lips together a little harder, trying to calm his frazzled mate, and Kurt yielded to the attention, and relaxed a little as their mouths opened together. As Blaine pushed his tongue out, meeting Kurt's halfway, they both groaned lightly. After a few seconds though, Kurt seemed to break out of their little bubble and his eyes shot towards the door again.

Blaine smiled as he stood up, offering a hand to Kurt.

"Come on, let's go and save Sam's ears." He said lightly and Kurt smiled at him before they made their way back down.

Kurt was a nervous wreck.

They had been trying this controlled crying thing, for the past 2 days, and already Kurt had become so emotional, he felt like he was either going to scream himself or burst into crazed laughter. He was on edge, Blaine was dealing with the baby at the moment, Kurt was told to stay in bed. There was nothing wrong with Alex, he had been fed, he had been changed, he wasn't hot or cold, the temperature of the nursery was just right.

Kurt felt the pull to go to him, but just as he was about to lose his mind and walk out of the bedroom, Blaine returned. He smiled gently at an emotional looking Kurt, who sat upright and nervous on the bed, and Blaine made his way over quickly.

He embraced his husband tightly as Kurt took in a couple of deep shuddering breaths.

"It's ok, Kurt, he's ok." Blaine shushed him lightly, and stroked a hand through his hair and down his back.

"This is so hard, Blaine." Kurt whispered against his chest and Blaine placed his cheek against the top of Kurt's head.

"I know, but eventually he will sleep, just like last night."

"I know." Kurt said quietly as a couple of frustrated tears escaped and made their way down his face.

Blaine pushed Kurt gently back down onto the bed and climbed in next to him, throwing a comforting arm around him and holding him tightly. Kurt calmed down a little with Blaine at his side, but he kept wincing every time Alex let out a particularly loud cry. And Blaine pulled him closer every time.

After about an hour, Alex was quiet, and Blaine got out of bed to go and check on him, he saw his son sleeping peacefully in his crib and smiled before closing the door down, but not shutting it, and making his way back to Kurt.

"He's asleep." He told Kurt, as he walked back in.

"Really?" Kurt asked with a relieved sigh and Blaine nodded, as he climbed back into bed, "Was he ok though?"

"Am I going to need to do the same to you?" Blaine asked sarcastically and Kurt smacked his arm lightly.

"I just worry."

"I know, but he's absolutely fine." Blaine explained with a smile as he pulled Kurt towards him, "And you can go and get him in the morning."

Kurt smiled at him and rolled his eyes.

"I have to because he needs a feed in the morning." Kurt said simply and Blaine tackled him to the bed roughly and he gasped.

"And I need a feed right now, I've missed you these last couple weeks." Blaine said being cheesy and Kurt laughed.

"Well, since both children are asleep...what's stopping you?" Kurt said with a wry grin and Blaine smashed their mouths together, not having any patience to wait any longer.

"Mmph," Kurt moans against Blaine's mouth, as he felt himself being tugged down the bed and grinned as Blaine's warm body settles over his.

"Oh, Kurt," Blaine gasps out, ducking his head down to Kurt's neck, as he feels Kurt's hands pull on his hips, pulling them tighter together, "I've missed you so much."

"I've-ah!...missed you too." Kurt replied as he gasped when Blaine started nipping his neck gently.

Blaine lifted his head and pressed a hard kiss to Kurt's lips, and his eyes squeeze closed when Kurt kisses back, his lips sliding with Blaine's, before shoving his tongue into Blaine's mouth.

Kurt moves his hands, grabbing at the mattress instead of Blaine's bare skin, but then Blaine's smiling into the kiss, reaching down to take Kurt's hands and lift them until they're resting over his ass. Kurt laughed against him, before moaning into the kiss and squeezing the flesh between in his palms.

Kurt's hands dive underneath Blaine's sleep pants, pushing them down and cupping his cheeks in both palms, squeezing again as Blaine groaned against his mouth.

"Feels good," Blaine murmurs, disconnecting their lips and moving down towards Kurt's throat, as he starts pressing back into his hands and then sliding forward to push his hips against Kurt.

Blaine's chest is hot against Kurt's, skin dragging over Kurt's sensitive nipples when he moves against him. The feel of Blaine so close, has Kurt realizing how much he has missed his husband too, these past few weeks, and he drops his legs open wider, Blaine settling between them, and Kurt could feel his erection pushing against his hip.

"Blaine," Kurt gasps, rocking his hips up the same time Blaine rocks his down.

There is suddenly a flurry of movement where they both try to remove the last of the layers between them, and when Blaine moves over him again, Kurt knows that Blaine has to be able to feel Kurt's already leaking erection, aching for more attention.

"Kurt...I need you." Blaine asks hoarsely, pulling back to rest his forehead against Kurt's.

Kurt nods his head quickly as Blaine cups his face and strokes his thumb over Kurt's cheek. Before he is moving, down past Kurt's chest and stomach, to wrap his lips around the hot, hard flesh between his legs, and Kurt gasps out.

"It feels– you feel amazing," Kurt breathes, face hot but stomach tight with how much he wants it, as he tilts his hips up underneath Blaine, "Just fuck me, Blaine...p-please."

"God, yes," Blaine groans, replacing his lips with his hand, stroking over Kurt's erection lightly before he moved to get the lube from the drawer.

Climbing back in between Kurt's still open legs, he removed the cap and lubed up three of his fingers, and bent over to kiss Kurt roughly while he moved his hand down in between them. Kurt's arms wrapped around him, and he was sucking hard at Blaine's lower lip, letting his tongue soothe over it as his fingers squeeze at the soft skin of Blaine's lower back, as Blaine inserted two fingers.

Blaine felt a small nip to his lower lip, as Kurt lost his patience and started to grind down onto his fingers, growling lightly with anticipation. Blaine eventually inserted the third, opening his digits inside to stretch his husband out a little quicker, and Kurt pulled his mouth away from Blaine's and started to place kisses down Blaine's neck.

Blaine's fingers drove in a little harder, and Kurt gasped as he brushed past his prostate, heat sparking everywhere and making Kurt cling tighter to Blaine as he thrust his hand a little faster.

"Kurt." Blaine moaned out, burying his face against Kurt's neck and mouthing at the skin there, and Kurt tilts his head back, rocking his hips a little faster, so Blaine got the message, which he did.

"Now." Kurt grits out, fingers digging into Blaine's skin when Blaine had pulled back slightly to lube his dick.

Kurt was so achingly hard, and so desperate, that he couldn't stop his hips from trying to make contact with Blaine's, as his husband leaned back into position, the head of his cock brushing against Kurt's hole.

As Blaine moved into position, head catching on Kurt's opening a few times, Kurt gasped and whined, legs trying to push Blaine against him, his husband chuckling as he leaned down for another rough kiss. And Kurt growled as he bit at Blaine's lip again, he was pretty sure he's already close to coming.

"Oh my god, Blaine, I–" Kurt's irritated voice was cut off into a loud groan, as Blaine pushed all the way inside him.

"Kurt...oh...you feel so fucking good." Blaine choked out as Kurt's tight heat surrounded him, he started panting as he grinds into him, hips moving in a quick, dirty rhythm. "So fucking good...god Kurt, ah–"

"Yes, harder...oh...Blaine...harder." Kurt huffs out, eyes squeezed shut as he feels his whole body straining for his orgasm, focusing on the hot, heavy weight of Blaine's body over him, and his dick being thrust hard and deep inside him, catching his prostate on every pass.

Kurt's body arches up after a few more thrusts, mouth dropping open and eyes squeezing shut at the intensity of his approaching orgasm, and with a breathy gasp and a moan against his ear from Blaine, he comes, body shuddering through it.

"Kurt." Blaine whines, tucking his face back into the curve of Kurt's neck and shoulder and thrusting into him faster, chasing his own orgasm, gripping onto Kurt, who had gone completely pliant underneath him.

Blaine feels about twice as heavy when he slumps down on top of Kurt, after his orgasm hit him hard, but Kurt's too blissed out to care, sliding one hand up and into Blaine's hair, holding him close as Blaine nuzzles and presses soft kisses to the skin of Kurt's neck.

When Blaine finally pulls back, cheeks red with the intense feelings still running through his veins, he smiles up at Kurt sweetly, eyes bright with love for him.

"You're amazing." Blaine whispers, in awe of his beautiful husband and Kurt laughs lightly, before leaning in and placing his lips over Blaine's.

"No, honey, you're amazing."

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Alex slept all the way through until morning, and when Kurt picked him up out of his crib for his morning feed, he seemed calmer and happier than he had been, he didn't cling to Kurt straight away like he usually did. Kurt sighed in relief, that the things they had been trying looked like they were working, he rushed back in to Blaine.

"Blaine, I think it's working, honey," He said as he sat on the bed with Alex, and Blaine eyed him confused until Kurt continued, "He's not being as clingy this morning."

"Oh, that's great," Blaine replied with a small smile, "Can I try holding him after he finishes?"

"Yes." Kurt replied, excited at the change he could feel in his son, and he gave Alex a small kiss on the head, before he got back into the bed with Blaine, "I can feel it, a change in him, it's great."

Blaine smiled as they both watched their son feeding, but Blaine had to look away after a few seconds, and Kurt smirked at him. Blaine still got a little hot and bothered from watching Kurt feeding babies, Kurt knew this, he found it extremely funny.

After Alex seemed like he was finished, Kurt handed him to Blaine to burp him. Blaine was a little nervous, as he placed Alex up on his chest, with his tiny head on his shoulder, as he patted his back lightly. But after about 2 minutes of patting, Blaine grew more confident in holding him, because Alex wasn't crying.

He grinned over at Kurt, as the baby wriggled and let out a burp, and he slowly brought him back down, and placed him in his lap, cradling him with his legs. Alex was still silent, and he had his eyes open and was looking around curiously. His eyes seemed to zero in on Blaine's face after a while and Blaine smiled down at him.

"Hey, beautiful boy," Blaine said and took his son's tiny hands between his fingers, "Hey, it's daddy, yeah...you're a good boy really aren't you huh?"

Kurt smiled as Alex seemed to coo at Blaine.

"Is that right?...I know." Blaine said as Alex kept responding to him, gurgling slightly.

The door to their bedroom creaked open and a little head poked around the door.

"Hey, princess." Kurt said as Elizabeth smiled and ran up to the bed, Kurt reaching down and helping her climb up, "Hey, look who else is awake."

"Hi, Alex!" Elizabeth said as she put her face next to Blaine's and started talking to her little brother, Alex's face frowned a little and he turned his head slightly to try and see where that voice was coming from.

"He's looking for you sweetheart, I think he knows your voice." Blaine said with a chuckle and Elizabeth moved more into the baby's line of sight, squealing with delight when Alex looked at her.

"He's looking at me!"

"He is." Kurt said and Blaine chuckled behind her head, "And he's not crying."

Blaine and Kurt glanced at each other and smiled, before watching their daughter interact with her brother for the rest of the morning.

Alex was 5 weeks old, when he smiled. At Blaine.

7 weeks old when he giggled. At Blaine.

Kurt watched his husband literally grin with pride every time his son giggled at him, and Kurt laughed along with Alex every time Blaine made that serious, grumpy face.

As Alex grew, he became an absolute joy, and by 6 months, he was playing with Elizabeth on their living room floor, surrounding by soft pillows in case he toppled over. He was sitting with her, and she was playing with her house and figurines, she had given him the little dog to look at, but like all babies, Alex just stuck it in his mouth to chew on it.

Elizabeth had made a disgusted face, when her dog came back to her, covered in baby drool, and Kurt laughed while he wiped it away.

"That's what babies do, honey." He had tried to explain to her, but like most things, it went over her head.

After that, Elizabeth tended to keep her best toys away from his little grabby hands, or there would be drool on everything he could reach.

He was growing up fast, and he was such a little sweetheart, like his sister. Kurt was always in awe of his children, they were perfect to him.

"Dah!" Alex had exclaimed loudly one morning as Kurt had gone to fetch him from his crib, and Kurt stopped dead and stared, shocked, at his 6 and a half month old son.

"Baby, what did you say?"

"Dah! Dah!" Alex shouted again with a big gummy smile on his face and Kurt laughed as he picked him up.

"That's right, baby, Da-Da, oh you clever boy!" Kurt said excitedly as he danced around with Alex, his son giggling as they spun around.

"What's going on?" Blaine asked amusedly from where he had appeared in the doorway, and Elizabeth ran in behind him, to watch Kurt and Alex dancing around.

Kurt turned to him with a wide smile and Alex was still giggling away wildly.

"Alex just said-"

"Dah! Dah!" Alex interrupted loudly, and Blaine's mouth dropped open as he stepped further into the room, and Kurt spun Alex around again, as they all laughed happily along with him.

"Yes! My amazingly clever boy!" Kurt said happily and kissed his cheek tiny chubby cheek before handing him to Blaine, who hugged him tight.

"Alex? Say it again, Da-Da." Blaine said and Alex grinned widely before he said, "Dah! Dah!"

Blaine grinned at him and spun him around like Kurt did, Alex giggling again and Kurt laughed at them before he picked Elizabeth up and did the same to her, causing her to laugh loudly with her brother and their silly daddies.

Kurt's first week back at work was hectic, he had hired two more employees, who had helped Melissa keep everything running while he had his absence, sometimes during the last 3 months he had to make an appearance in the office for a few things, but all in all, Melissa was doing a pretty decent job.

He had customers to call, and a lot of designs had to be finalized before they were sent out, and it seemed that every time he managed to finish a custom order for one person, 3 or more people took their place.

His list of things to do, was very long. But he had 4 workers in the office now, himself included, and his designs and the orders were being created and sent out quicker than before, which in turn only expanded his business.

Before long, there were a few names willing to sponsor his company, and then Kurt had money to play with, he hired more people, he expanded the work office, he set out a better webpage, and then he had his own spot in local magazines, labeling him a new up and coming designer to watch out for. He was ecstatic.

He stopped making custom orders, well not many, and eventually turned out his first line of clothing, labelled 'Storm' and it was a hit, and within 2 months, it had hit the market and made his brand known.

Blaine had also made some progress with his own label, his music business seemed to be taking off, he had hired a few people, and had made some big A-list hits out of his studio now. His brand was starting to become well known around New York, and he now had a waiting list of people wanted to record in his studio, which meant more money, and better equipment. He had also had the money to expand his own building, and bought out the sub space next door, had it all knocked together, and made 14 more sound booths and about 10 more offices.

Alex and Elizabeth loved sometimes going to work with them, Kurt had made a space in his offices specifically for the kids to play, if they were with him. And Blaine had made a playroom in his own building, a place where they could play safely while he was a little busy, always with someone watching them of course, it was usually one of Blaine's assistants.

Alex was 11 months now and the pack all had plans to go to Ohio, to visit everyone for Thanksgiving. They hadn't been back to Lima since Elizabeth was a year old, so they needed some time with their family. Burt and Carole hadn't been able to visit much in the past year, so Kurt had made a promise to go visit them before the children's birthdays, and so far he made good on his plan.

Everyone had managed to get time off, when Kurt had asked, and the kids were being good as they waited in the airport for their gate to start boarding. Kurt had been recognized by a few passers by, and they had mentioned the article about him in the magazine, and Kurt had talked to them for a while, and they had melted over the kids around him.

Blaine had smirked at him, when he sat back down, after waving a polite goodbye to the girls. Kurt raised an eyebrow in his direction.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Thanksgiving was perfect. And noisy.

As soon as Burt had opened the door, he was tackled by Elizabeth and then Alex had wanted to jump on him too, so Kurt tackle hugged his dad with him, and they all laughed as Kurt managed to knock his dad to the floor.

Puck, Sam and Sebastian stayed with them, and Carole had squealed with excitement at the houseful they had for the holiday. Elizabeth and Alex would not leave Burt's side, and their grandpa could not be happier with that. Kurt and Blaine had a night out while they were there, they hit an old gay bar called scandals, and they were just in time for drag night. They had fun.

The queens in there all found Blaine's hair incredible and they all wanted to dress him up, much to Kurt's enjoying, if laughing his ass off behind him was any indication, as Blaine declined offer after offer. All they had managed, at the end of the night, was some nail polish for Blaine, and Kurt had been roped into putting on some lip-gloss and eye shadow, and as Blaine had laughed at him, he had kissed him and smeared it over his face, much to the delight of the crowd surrounding them.

When they got back to Burt's, they were trying to be quiet, but were unsuccessful, as they heard a couple of thumps from the other end of the house. Kurt had giggled when Blaine had shushed him.

The rest of the guys were in the pack room up in the attic, but Blaine and Kurt had decided to stay in Kurt's old bedroom, Alex and Elizabeth were with their grandparents for the night.

They didn't even get to do anything, they were too busy laughing at each other, because somehow the drag queens had managed to cover them both head to toe in rainbow glitter. And they ended up laughing themselves to sleep.
