[twenty-four weeks]
Kurt and Blaine walked into the Westerville Mall, Kurt's eyes glimmered with excitement. His dad's credit card was in his pocket waiting to be swiped. After much convincing, Burt had given the two teen parents to be the plastic card instructing them to buy the necessities for the baby. Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into Modern Tots, a baby store with in the mall.
They got a cart and Blaine couldn't believe that a small human would need this much stuff. Kurt stopped the cart and looked over at Blaine.
"Take over for me, Bean is jumping on my bladder, so I'm going to hit the restroom. Don't worry, I'll have my phone on me." He said hurrying off.
Blaine walked a little further a long, unsure of what he was supposed to be looking for. Something caught his eye. It was obvious that it didn't belong in the aisle since it was haphazardly thrown on one of the racks, also since it was a onsie and this was an aisle dedicated to bottles.
Picking up the little green onsie, Blaine could feel the tears spring to his eyes. The stitching on the little garment read, "if you think I'm cute, you should see my dads." Dads. Plural. He smiled while holding back the tears, and tossed the onsie into the cart.
"Blaine!"
Turning at the sound of his name, Blaine briefly saw a flash of navy before he was almost tackled to the ground by three bodies.
"Blaine! What are you doing in Westerville?" Jeff asked pulling back from the impromptu group hug.
"Please say you're coming back to Dalton. I know it's been a couple years, but we need your voice!" Trent said with a pleading look.
"I'm still at McKinley, where I will remain, sorry. What are you guys doing here?" Blaine asked, only slightly avoiding the question.
"Jeff's sister is preggers, and we, being the fine Dalton men we are, came to get her gifts." Nick said with an air of fake superiority in his voice. "You never did tell us why you are here."
"Blaine, did you look at the car seats yet? I know we were going with a green theme, but there is this super cute blue one over there. Maybe they also make it in green."
The three Dalton teens stared at Kurt, more like his belly.
Clearing his throat, Blaine got everyone's attention. "Guys, this is my boyfriend Kurt. Kurt, this is Nick, Jeff, and Trent, we all went to school together at Dalton before I transferred to McKinely sophomore year."
"It's nice to meet you all." Kurt said with a smile.
"Kurt, this is the first time we've heard of you." Jeff said staring at Blaine.
"Yes, it's surprising since you seem to be a permanent fixture in Blaine's life." Nick added, his stare focused on Kurt's baby bump.
"Guys, stop it. This is Kurt, and yes he's pregnant with our son. I didn't tell you because, honestly, I forgot. Life got crazy after we found out about Bean and the four of us weren't talking much since Wes and David went to college. I was actually nervous about how you would take the news."
It was silent for a couple minutes before Nick smiled. "Well Kurt, you've got a future Warbler in there. We don't want to risk anything happening to him. So, need help with any heavy lifting?"
All of the current Warblers pulled Kurt into a group hug. Much like the one they greeted Blaine with, only much gentler due to the baby. Smiling, Blaine joined them.

[twenty-eight weeks]
Blaine stood at his locker, desperately wishing he could finish cleaning it out so he could go home to Kurt. With it being the last day of school, all he had to do was clean his locker, then he was home free for summer. Kurt had already been done with school, since he started the home schooling program to finish his senior year and get his diploma. In fact, the piece of paper had arrived just yesterday saying he was an official high school graduate of William McKinley High School.
He and Kurt still weren't sure what was going to happen in the fall. Kurt had the idea of them taking a year off before college to raise their son and save up some money before leaving the nest.
Finally, his locker was empty and Blaine smiled grabbing all his things, ready to go.
"There's my little brother! And look, he's still little!"
Blaine stopped, unsure if he was really seeing who he thought he was. "Coop! What you are doing here?"
Cooper plastered his movie star smile on his face and threw an arm around his brother. "Surprising my cute, but not as cute as me, brother, of course!"
Blaine couldn't deal with this. Not when he has a seven month pregnant boyfriend at home who was always crying, eating, or horny.
"Okay, this was nice, but I have to go." Blaine said removing his brother's arm from him.
"Lil' bro, where are you rushing off to? I thought we could go get some lunch then I'll take you home and surprise the folks. How have they been by the way?"
Shrugging, Blaine answered, "I wouldn't know, I haven't spoken to them since Father threw me out about five months ago."
Cooper looked shocked. "What?"
"Look, Coop, a lot has changed since we last saw each other."
"But, where are you living?" Cooper asked, genuinely concerned.
"With my boyfriend."
"Wow, a lot has changed." Coop stated. "Can I meet him?"
Blaine shook his head, "I don't think that's a good idea." Especially since he didn't know what kind of mood Kurt would be in.
"Blaine Neville! I am your brother, and I deserve to meet these people you are living with. Just because our parents don't care doesn't mean I don't care."
Throwing his arms around Cooper, Blaine hugged him tightly. "Thanks, Coop."
"Let's go, I want to meet this guy. He better be treating you well."
Blaine smiled, "Of course he is."
The brothers drove each of their cars to the "Hudmelderson" house. It was Rachel's idea for the mashed up name, something that started out as a joke but now was stuck with the house.
Cooper followed his brother up the steps of a nice two story home. Before Blaine opened the door he turned around to his brother.
"Just, don't comment or say anything until I talk to you, please?"
Nodding, Cooper followed his little brother into the house.
Smiling, Blaine found his boyfriend sitting on the couch, a bowl of ice cream in his hands and Project Runway on the television.
"Hey, babe!" Blaine said walking around the couch and placing a kiss on Kurt's lips. "There's someone I want you to meet." He extended his hand to help Kurt off the couch.
"I'm not an invalid, I can do it myself." Kurt said with a glare.
Blaine dropped his hand and watched Kurt finally make it off the couch, with slight struggle.
"Kurt, this is my brother, Cooper."
"You're pregnant?!" Cooper asked.
Blaine could see Kurt's chin wobble and his eyes gloss over.
"I'm sorry I'm fat!" Kurt yelled before running towards the basement, "It's all Blaine's fault!"
"Thanks, Coop." Blaine sighed before following his pregnant boyfriend and going into the basement.
Unsure of what to do once he was alone in the living room, Cooper sat down on the couch and began paying attention to the drama on Project Runway. He was so engrossed with the television show that he didn't hear the front door open and close.
"An' who the hell are you?" Burt said loudly upon seeing a strange man sitting on his couch.
Jumping up, Cooper turned to face the man clad in flannel and a cap. "Cooper Anderson, brother of Blaine, who is downstairs right now with Kurt. I may or may not have said something that caused Kurt to run from the room." He said guiltily.
Burt chuckled, "Don't worry, he'll get hungry and forget you said anything. I'm assuming you know he's pregnant?"
"Yes, it wasn't hard to miss. It's Blaine's right? That's why he was kick out?" Cooper asked, not needing the nod from Burt. "I know my parents don't accept Blaine or any part of this, but I do and I'll be the favorite uncle."
"Well, you'll have to fight Finn for that title." When seeing Cooper's confused face, Burt elaborated, "He's my step-son, Kurt's step-brother. And your brother and Kurt have been handling this entire situation so well."
Kurt and Blaine emerged about ten minutes later, Kurt's eyes still puffy and red from the crying.
"I'm sorry about our first introduction." Cooper said to Kurt, "I'm Cooper, Blaine's brother. The same Blaine who didn't inform me that he had a boyfriend, let alone was going to be a father."
Kurt shrugged, "I'm sorry, it was the hormones this little one is causing." He said rubbing his swollen abdomen.
"So, when am I going to be an uncle?" Cooper asked.
Smiling, Kurt looked up from his stomach, "The scheduled date is at week thirty-six weeks, and I'm at twenty-eight now. But anything can happen before then."
Silence fell over the room, and Burt cleared his throat breaking it. "Well, why don't we go get some supper? That way we can get to know Cooper more."
"That sounds great, because I'm starving." Kurt stated, causing Burt and Cooper to chuckle.
