Chapter 11

"For once, I, Maddie Anderson-Johnson, hate the Summer." Kurt smiled.

"At least you're not throwing up any more." Kurt said, suppressing a laugh. Maddie sighed overdramatically.

"Still though! It's boiling!"

"Maddie, it's only seventy seven degrees Farenheit, which is like twenty five celcius. You're fine." Maddie glared at Blaine.

"But you're not carrying a baby!" Maddie snapped. Sam started rubbing her back, glaring at Kurt and Blaine.

"It's OK, Mads, they don't understand. They're only men." Maddie nodded, still looking pissed off. Sam turned to Blaine and Kurt. "Now, could you get us some drinks?" Blaine stared at her.

"This is our house! And Maddie's the pregnant one! Get your own! And, somehow, being pregnant isn't counted as a disability, Mad." She didn't look at him, going a little red beneath her hair. "But I'll get you one more drink." Blaine got up and grabbed Maddie and Sam's glasses. He turned to Kurt. "Do you want another drink, sweetie?" Kurt went red at the nickname, but nodded. "Diet Coke?" Kurt nodded again, as Blaine went to refill the drinks.

"So, have you and Blaine come up with any names?" Maddie asked. "I want to make sure that this baby's getting a normal name."

"As apposed to what name?" Kurt asked. Maddie put on a thoughtful face.

"Apple." Kurt laughed. "I'm not kidding! Or Orange!"

"Purple." Kurt giggled out. Sam and Maddie fell about laughing. As soon as they'd calmed down, Kurt said, "Well, I've been asking Blaine, but we haven't really talked about it."

"Kurt, the baby's due in about five and a half months. You need to start thinking of names." Kurt nodded. The conversation ended, as Blaine came out, holding a trayful of drinks.

"Blaine?"

"Hmm?" Blaine looked up from his book. They were lying in bed, just relaxing for a little while.

"What are we going to name this baby?"

"Kurt, we don't know if it's definitely a girl."

"Everytime we've asked it's been a girl, Blaine."

"Well, OK then." Blaine put his book down. "What did you have in mind, Kurt?" Kurt looked thoughtful.

"Amy?" Blaine wrinkled his nose. "What?"

"It sounds so common Kurt. I used to know a girl when I was ten called Amy, and she was so...chav." Blaine shuddered.

"OK then."

"What about Lucy?" Kurt stared at him for a moment, before shaking his head. "What's wrong with Lucy?"

"It's a nice name Blaine, but whenever I think of Lucy, I think of the little girl from the Narnia film."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"I don't want her to get teased, Blaine." Blaine sighed.

"You're right. How about Anna?"

"It's a bit plain." Blaine sighed, a little frustrated. "Blaine, it's my baby too."

"I know, Kurt, I know. OK, let's see what we can come up with." Blaine thought hard. He wanted to come up with the right name for this baby. "OK, what about Rebecca?" Kurt shuddered much like Blaine had. "What?"

"Whenever I think Rebecca, I think Rebecca Black." Blaine sighed again. "Sorry, but I don't want my daughter to be named after a talentless artist who sounds like a cat being strangled."

"Alright, I understand. Adele? Adele's an amazing singer."

"She is, but Blaine, think about it..." Blaine thought about it and realised.

"Yeah. She wouldn't want to be constantly compared to Adele - or feel that she has to live up to Adele's standard." He turned to face Kurt again. "That's a good point." Blaine grinned. He was going to scare Kurt. "What about..." He paused as if using some sort of dramatic affect. "Miley?" Blaine laughed hard, as Kurt's face turned horrified.

"No No No NO!" Kurt said, putting his fingers in his ears, his voice getting higher and higher with every "no".

"I'm kidding, Kurt." Blaine said, trying to contain his laughter. Kurt frowned.

"Well then, Blaine for that, I get to choose the name." Blaine stopped laughing.

"Hold on a sec, Kurt, it's my baby too..."

"I know. But I want to make sure that the name is going to do the baby justice."

"Kurt, I don't want her to be named after a character from Wicked!" Kurt sighed.

"As much as I love Wicked, I'm not that cruel." Kurt scooted closer to Blaine on the bed.

"Well, I can still suggest, right?" Blaine asked. For good measure, he added in a puppy dog face. As expected, Kurt's heart melted.

"O-Of course, Honey."

"So, what do you have in mind, apart from Amy?" Kurt thought hard.

"Well, Carole told me once that she and her friend used to watch "The Thorn Birds"..."

"Isn't that a book?" Blaine asked, interested where this was going. Kurt nodded.

"Yes. In fact, I've read the book-"

"You've read the book?" Blaine repeated, straightening up, smiling. Kurt went red and nodded.

"I... Carole had it, so I thought I might read it..." Kurt trailed off, taking a deep breath. "Anyway, the main character in it is called Meggie Cleary."

"Meggie?" Blaine asked. Kurt nodded.

"Well, her name's actually Meghann, but she's called Meggie."

"Megan, as in M-E-G-A-N?"

"No, Meghann. As in M-E-G-H-A-N-N."

"Well, that's a unique way of spelling it."

"Well, I have to admit, I prefer the way that you spelt it, Blaine." Blaine grinned.

"Megan, as in Megan Fox?" Kurt groaned, and his grin faded. "What?"

"I don't want our baby named after Megan Fox, Blaine."

"Why not? She's meant to be pretty..."

"I think that she looks heavily made up sometimes... and she has tattoos...And for God's sake, she can't even act that well!" Blaine waved his hands in defence.

"OK, OK! We'll not name her after Megan Fox. We'll just name her Megan."

"Meggie for short." Kurt clarified. Blaine nodded.

"Right. So, if it's definitely a girl, we're naming her Megan?"

"Yes Blaine." Kurt smiled. Blaine's heart raced. Somehow, knowing the baby's name made him feel a little closer to her (Or him). Kurt felt exactly the same - knowing someone's name made you closer to them. "How about Megan Elizabeth Hummel-Anderson?" The name rolled off his tongue easily. It felt like music to Blaine, in an odd way. Had a particular feel to it. Blaine nodded.

"Is Elizabeth after your mother?" Kurt nodded. "I'm sure that she loves that." Kurt smiled.

"But, Blaine, she died when I was eight." Kurt knew what was coming.

"Well, just because you can't see her, doesn't mean she's not here."

"I know." Kurt and Blaine smiled sweetly at each other for a moment, before Blaine pressed a short kiss to Kurt's forhead.

"We better get to sleep."

"So," Maddie said brightly one week later. She was lounging on the sofa in the Living Room with Sam by her feet, smiling. Blaine and Kurt had settled into comfy armchairs. "Have you guys talked names?" Kurt and Blaine nodded. "Well, what?"

"Megan." Kurt said. "Meggie for short." Sam and Maddie both shared a look, and grinned. Blaine smacked his head with his hand.

"Oh no." Blaine said. Sam and Maddie laughed. Kurt looked confused.

"What?" Blaine smiled at him lightly.

"We're not changing the name. But, Maddie and Sam used to read the Inkheart series."

"Still own the set at home." Maddie said.

"Ink what?" Kurt asked, more confused then ever.

"It was about a girl named Meggie," Sam explained. "And she could read characters out of books. Oh, and I think she read herself in at some point." Maddie nodded.

"It's a good name. It's not unusual, yet it's not tacky." She ran a hand over her belly. It was definitely swollen by now. Of course, neither Kurt, nor Blaine, commented. It was not a good idea to say to a pregnant woman that she looked bigger. Neither of them were that stupid. "Now I don't have to worry about my niece having a weird name."

"Well, Blaine thought I was naming her after Megan Fox," Sam wrinkled her nose. Kurt laughed.

"Please, I'm lesbian, and I think she's horrible." Blaine surpressed a grin.

"Anyway, we're naming her after Meggie Cleary from "The Thorn Birds"..."

"Oh! My Mom loves that!" Maddie said. Blaine nodded. "That's a great name for her!" She placed a hand to her stomach. "Heya, Meggie." Blaine grinned.

"Can I give it a try?" Maddie beamed, removing her hand, and nodded. Blaine scrambled out of his seat, and onto the floor. He gently touched his head to the side of Maddie's swollen stomach, feeling nervous. "Hiya, Meggie. It's me, you're Daddy. Well, you have two daddies, so don't get us mixed up." Kurt smiled at the sight of Blaine talking to their yet to be born baby. Maddie giggled.

"Your hair's tickling me." She complained, somewhat happily. Blaine pulled away, a little reluctantly, trying not to smile.

"Sorry."

"It's fine." Maddie turned to Kurt. "Come on, you have a go." Kurt nodded, his heart pounding. He gently got up and lowered himself down next to Blaine, placing his head next to the small baby bump. He cleared his throat nervously.

"H-Hiya, Megs." Blaine grinned at the nickname. "It's your other daddy here. Daddy Kurt." He smiled, feeling braver. "You can't see us yet, but we can't wait." Maddie smiled as Kurt pulled away. Blaine shared a look with Kurt, which he returned. "Wow." Blaine nodded.

"So," Blaine said, standing up shakily. "Maddie, Sam. How would you girls like to live with us for a few months?" Sam and Maddie stared at him.

"R-Really?" Maddie asked. Blaine and Kurt nodded.

"It would help us bond with the baby, and soon, you're going to be massive." Blaine said. Maddie nodded.

"But what about our apartment?"

"Well," Kurt said. "We were thinking that maybe you guys could save some money to buy a proper house, you know, sell the apartment, and we could house you for a few months." They looked thoughtful. "Please." Kurt put on the puppy dog face. They laughed.

"Well, we'd love to, but it might take a while to actually sell that horrible apartment." Both men grinned.

"Yeah," Blaine said. "It is quite crappy." Maddie and Kurt gasped and glared at him. "What?"

"Don't swear in front of the baby!" Maddie said, sounding apalled. Blaine rose his eyebrows.

"Blaine!" Kurt hissed. "Do you want her to end up like those girls on MTV who swear all the time?" Blaine shook his head slowly. "Then don't swear!"

"Fine, Fine." Blaine said in defeat. Sam grinned.

"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow then."

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!
