WOAH! Holy reviews. Thank you so much, even those of you who I think were ready to kill me. I appreciate your input and your devotion to these characters. Anywho, sorry this is a little short, but I think (most of) you all will like it!
Chapter 10
2 Weeks Letter
"So where's Kurt?" Hayden looked over at Blaine who was clutching a puppy to his chest, his skin in the constant pale state it had been for the previous few weeks. "Are you okay, Blaine?"
Blaine looked at her and shook his head, "He's at the theater. Hayden…I can't. I can't do it. I know he wants us to…to have sex but I just can't," he was whispering by the end, his lower lip trembling.
Hayden moved over the couch and leaned against him, "Hey…don't get upset. What's going on?" She knew Blaine wasn't too keen on the idea of having sex with her, but he looked terrified.
"It's like cheating…and if I get to have sex with you just once, what does that mean if he wants to have sex with someone just once? Does that make it okay?" Blaine shook his head quickly and moved away from her, "I know he wouldn't..but I just can't Hayden. It will feel like I've cheated on him and I would never do that. I don't even think about other people when I'm with Kurt," a tear fell to his cheek and he sniffed slightly, "I don't know why he's all of a sudden okay with this but it's terrifying me."
Hayden wasn't quite sure she understood but she moved again and wrapped her arms around Blaine. She knew from the past few years that the one thing Blaine ran away from when he was upset was the one thing that needed – human contact. "Hey, I'm not thrilled about the idea either, but it that's what Kurt wants we should just agree. It took long enough to convince him to have a baby; you don't want to mess it up."
Blaine caught Hayden's eye, "I don't think I can though."
"I have faith in you," Hayden drew her knees to her chest.
"Hayden – you're beautiful, you know that and I know that. But you're a girl…and I wouldn't even know how to go about all of it. I tried doing, uh, research, and I just ended up being grossed out." Blaine blushed to his ears and ducked his head into his own curled up knees.
"Blaine Anderson, are you telling me you watched straight porn?" Hayden put her hands on her hips and leaned forward slightly.
He nodded, "And it was so gross!"
"I know! I mean, I watched like…love-making videos because I figured that's more of what we would do…" Hayden blushed too at the topic, because while she wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea, she at least decided to do it.
"Love making?" Blaine snorted, "I watched quickies. That's what I was hoping for."
"Jerk! You can't even treat a lady right?" Hayden smiled so he knew she was joking. She was really attempting to make him feel better.
Blaine stood and grabbed his laptop, "No but seriously. Look at this," Blaine typed quickly and pulled up the lewdest thing Hayden had ever seen, "Why do people do this?"
"Well, I don't think it actually works like that, Blaine." Hayden pointed to the screen, "That's acting."
"I know that it's acting. But seriously. We can't do this," Blaine put his hands up and let out a deep breath, "We can't."
"Well, if you really don't want to do it, you can tell Kurt. Santana will be more than thrilled to know we aren't doing it. She's threatened to chop your balls off and get the sperm from the source instead of letting us do it how Kurt wants," She laughed as Blaine winced and immediately crossed his legs.
"I have to tell Kurt today, then. Because it is time for you to ovulate?" Blaine reddened at the word.
"Blaine, if you are going to have a baby, you need to be able to speak about things like ovulation. What if you have a girl? You're going to have to talk to her about periods and ovulation and straight sex. I thought you always joked about Kurt being the baby penguin? You seem to be the one who is innocent." Hayden looked at Blaine pointedly.
Blaine opened his mouth, but at first nothing came out, "Do…you really think that we'll get a girl?" His eyes lit up and he leaned forward, "They say that the mother can sense it."
"Blaine…I'm not pregnant yet."
"I know, but I just thought maybe. Do you think I'll be a good dad? I mean, Kurt says I will be, but do you really think so?" Blaine looked at Hayden and for a second Hayden saw the boy she met years ago and not the man she usually saw in front of her.
"Blaine, yes. I was kidding. You are going to be an amazing father. I wouldn't have agreed to carry a baby for you and Kurt if I wouldn't have thought so. Plus, if you ever need a woman's advice if you do have a girl, that's why San and I are here," she winked at Blaine and stood. "I'm going to call the agency and tell them we changed our minds and we're doing it the normal way. Then, they can set up an appointment so we can do it. I'll try to get it soon because I know you're suffering," she winked at Blaine again before grabbing her phone and running out the door.
Blaine decided that in order to break the news to Kurt, he'd make dinner and perhaps even urge Kurt to drink wine. That usually put Kurt in a better mood. Plus, Kurt wasn't nearly as grumpy now that his time in the sewing sessions were over and he was at least working on the Broadway stage. Still, Blaine still had lingering doubts about why Kurt wanted Hayden and Blaine to have sex for the baby. He had to know, or it would kill him.
"Something smells good!" Kurt yelled into the apartment, not quite sure knowing where to find his husband.
He found him standing in the middle of the dining room, pour wine into a glass. Blaine walked over and kiss Kurt's cheek softly, and Kurt once again cursed the fact that he couldn't allow things to go too far between them.
"To what do I owe this amazing dinner?" Kurt saw the tortellini and bread sitting on the table and knew that Blaine was going to talk about something he wasn't going to like.
"We need to talk," Blaine said simply and pulled out Kurt's chair for him before putting a generous helping of food on his plate.
"About?" Kurt bit into the pasta and groaned immediately. Yes, Blaine's cooking skills had improved drastically thanks to those extensive cooking classes. "Actually, don't tell me until after I've had this. It's too good to distract me from."
Blaine smiled softly at Kurt, but Kurt noticed that Blaine ate far less than he did, and seemed constantly bounce his knees under the table.
After they cleaned up, Blaine grabbed them more wine and led Kurt into the living room.
"You shouldn't be drinking that, you know," Kurt chided, clinking his glass against Blaine's almost empty one.
"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about," Blaine started, draining the rest of the wine, "About the whole baby situation."
Kurt set his glass on the table, "Blaine, have you changed your mind? Because we've paid a lot of money and I think now is really the right time and I just don't know why you wouldn't want to do it now. But if you changed your mind I understand, I mean I pushed it away for such a long time as well…"
"Kurt," Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand, "Why do you want Hayden and I to have sex?"
Kurt stopped babbling and looked at Blaine with big eyes. "I just…I don't want our baby to think of himself or herself as different."
"I…don't follow," Blaine said, leaning closer, already feeling a load off of his shoulders.
"Our child is already going to have a difficult time, having two dads. Now he or she has to worry about being composed in some test tube…I just already love our baby, Blaine. I already love this idea of a baby. A person that doesn't even really exist. But I want the baby to know how much we love him or her. I want it to feel our love from the very first few minutes of its life. I don't want its first few minutes to be from a tube. Do you understand?" Kurt's eyes pleaded with Blaine.
"I…I don't think our baby will remember that, Kurt." Blaine sighed loudly, "But thank god it wasn't what I was thinking."
"What..were you thinking?"
"That if I had sex with someone else it would give you license to have sex with someone else and then you would and then…"
Kurt surged forward and kissed Blaine firmly on the lips, catching the boy off guard. "Blaine Anderson, you are the only person I ever want to have sex with. You are the only person I ever want to kiss. I don't know why you even thought that, Blaine. I'm just terrified about everything and I didn't realize that it would make you feel this way."
It was Blaine's turn to kiss Kurt into silence, and he wrapped an arm around the man, "You are amazing, Kurt. Our child will be loved. I love you. You love me. We're going to be a great big family."
"We're only have one baby, Blaine," Kurt warned, ignoring the references to the show that haunted his childhood.
"To start," Blaine argued.
"To start," Kurt agreed.
"Do you want to go get some ice cream?" Blaine murmured into Kurt's neck.
"Hmmm," Kurt breathed, "We can take Abu and Antoinette out for their walks. I think the puppies will be fine."
"As terrible as it is to say, I can't wait until we get rid of them. They whine all day and all night, Kurt. I know they are like our grandchildren but still." Blaine nudged his foot towards Abu, who was sleeping under the coffee table, his tan fur the only thing visible. "Get up, lover boy."
Kurt snorted and searched through the apartment to find Antoinette. It had been quite a few weeks since the puppies had been born, and now she didn't feel the need to attack anyone who went near them.
The men walked hand in hand down the street, allowing Antoinette to chase Abu around trees, trashcans, and people.
They stopped at their favorite ice cream store. It was on the corner and looked beat up, but Kurt and Blaine both knew they had the best ice cream in the city.
Kurt ordered a low fat mint chocolate chip and Blaine got vanilla soft serve covered in rainbow sprinkles. "It's nice out. Surprisingly not too hot for July," Kurt laughed as the beads of sweat poured down both of their backs.
Kurt wrapped his arm around Blaine, and even though it was too hot, left it there as they watched Abu and Antoinette run around the dog park.
Abu was chasing after a small poodle and Blaine had to run over and pull Abu off of the dog before they had even more puppies in their lives.
"You matter, Abu!" Kurt wailed to the dog from across the park.
Blaine laughed at Kurt, but ended up pulling Abu and Antoinette all the way back to the apartment.
Antoinette wasn't ready to play with Abu.
"Our dog is a bit of a Casanova, Blaine," Kurt's eyes laughed but he tried to remain serious.
Blaine rolled his eyes but decided that Abu was going to skip the park for a few days. They didn't want any more puppies.
"Kurt, when are you dad and Carole getting here?" Blaine yelled from the guest room, "We need to get this room ready."
"In three weeks, but I actually told him to get a hotel," Kurt crossed his legs, opened a magazine, and waited for the impending questioning. "Your parents are also coming the same weekend," he added.
Blaine stomped from the guest room to the living room, "And why are they both paying for hotels if we have two guest rooms here?" He wasn't angry, more confused.
"Because," Kurt uncrossed his legs and looked up at Blaine with hopeful eyes, "I thought maybe we could get a start on a nursery…we can use neutral colors since they aren't as cliché and will probably match our skin tones better."
Blaine's smile grew, "Kurt, we don't know if Hayden is going to get pregnant right away."
"But the OB/GYN told us she has a great chance and that she's really fertile. And then the agency told us you could probably give us a whole soccer team!" Kurt said this proudly.
Blaine looked down. He didn't want to bring it up because today had already been the start of too many deep discussions.
"Blaine, what? You can't keep hiding things from me," Kurt cupped Blaine's face and made him look up.
"I just thought that maybe if we do end up having the baby…we could move…" Blaine tried to look down, but Kurt's whimper made him look up, "I know it's a stupid idea. Forget I said anything."
"No, tell me." Kurt didn't like the idea, after all he had just redecorated the house, but he knew Blaine had to have a reason.
"I just want our child to have the opportunity to run around and go outside. He or she can't do that if we live in an apartment."
Kurt looked at his hands, and he had to admit Blaine was right. Living deep in the city was great for just Kurt and Blaine, but for a child? He was on to something.
But the city was their life. So much of who they were and what they did revolved around the bustling city, and Kurt couldn't stand the thought of moving to the suburbs or another state all together. Especially now, when everything was going his way and they were both happy.
"Maybe when he or she is older? I mean, for the first few years we don't really need a place for running?" Kurt knew he would need more than nine months to find a place anyway.
Blaine nodded, "Sure."
The next day, Hayden was put on heavy fertility drugs.
A week later, Blaine gave his sample and Hayden received the implant.
Two weeks later
Blaine clutched Kurt's hand tightly as they sat in the office. Hayden sat holding Santana's hand. Today was the day they would get the results of Hayden's official pregnancy test.
Patricia walked in carrying their envelope, she sat down calmly, "We have the results."
Kurt leaned forward and Blaine soon followed after him.
Patricia opened the folder and scanned the contents quickly, "Congratulations, Hayden is about two weeks pregnant."
Blaine and Kurt fell into each other's arms as Hayden beamed at the pair. They turned and took both Santana and Hayden into their arms.
Pregnant.
Kurt and Blaine were going to be parents.
"Now you'll have to get prenatal vitamins. And your HcG levels were high so I'd watch your intake of acidic foods. But everything looks great so far," Patricia usually didn't let cases get to her, but she felt herself tearing up at the looks of love on all four faces in front of her.
That baby was surrounded with love from four different people who loved it in different ways, but the love in the air was palpable to even a bystander.
