Sometime between the moments Blaine was holding his new family after his heartbreaking reunion with Sebastian and the next morning,Blaine had realized something. He was truly and completely happy...and in love. This was an emotion that he had never felt, even once, when he was with Sebastian. Every second that he was with Kurt a smile was always present on his face and when Kurt walked into the room his heart fluttered with what felt like a million butterflies. Blaine simply could not contain his joy any longer. He needed to make a move. He needed...to propose.
They were already living together and thought of each other as family, so why not? Why couldn't they legally be a family? It was settled. Blaine Anderson was going to propose to Kurt Hummel on their six month anniversary in two days. The next day after Kurt headed into New York for work, Blaine sat all of the kids down in the living room.
"Dad, is this going to take long? I have a math test to study for." Matthew asked.
"Yeah, I have to prepare for my chair audition for band, unless of course you just want to exempt me from that." Paige added with a pair of puppy dog eyes.
"No, this won't take very long, but it is extremely important." Blaine replied. The kids stopped talking and all looked at Blaine as he worked up to the courage to them his big news. "So, I've been doing a lot of thinking and… I've decided that I want to propose to Kurt, even though I know it hasn't been very long." Blaine said. The kids were a little awe struck. "We've all become like a family and I figured why not make it official. Also, I've never been this happy before. Kurt makes me the happiest I've ever been." he added. Now that Blaine had stopped talking, only silence filled the room. "So, what do you guys' think?" Blaine inquired.
"When would you do it?" Matthew asked quietly still looking at the floor.
"I was hoping to do it on Sunday, our six month anniversary." Blaine replied. Matthew looked to Paige, then to Ella, and then finally to Olivia. They all smiled and charged into give Blaine a hug and knocking him over onto the floor.
"Whoa!" Blaine yelled as he hit the ground and started laughing. "Should I take this as a sign that you guys are supportive?" The kids all laughed back.
"We want the best for both of you." Paige said. "You make my Dad so happy. You've unlocked a side of him that I haven't seen since before my other Dad passed away. You were the perfect piece that he was always looking for. I think that we all have been looking for each other for years. We were meant to be a family." Blaine smiled and pulled his, soon to be, daughter into his arms.
"Okay." Blaine said clapping his hands together. "We have a lot to do if we're going to be ready for this proposal in two days and I would really love for all of you to be involved. First, Olivia and Ella, you guys get to come with me to the florist to pick out some flowers and then Paige and Matthew, I want you guys to come help me pick out the ring. Deal?" he said, cheesley sticking his hand out into the middle of their little circle. All the kids, one by one, placed their hands into the circle. "We're in this together. AND BREAK!" Blaine yelled. After that he grabbed his keys and headed to the car with Ella and Olivia. They drove down to the florist and walked into the store.
"It smells so good in here!" Olivia exclaimed.
"That's the point honey. Its a flower shop." Blaine said with a laugh. "Ella, what kind of flowers do you think your dad would like?" Ella looked around the shop.
"He's always liked roses." Ella said. "His favorite colors are red and yellow so I think that we should get those colors." she told Blaine.
"Okay that's a good idea." Blaine replied.
"We should get bags of petals." Olivia said. "We could throw them over the floor like a wedding."
"Wow, you guys are good." Blaine laughed. "Either of you want to help be the wedding planner if he says yes?"
"Don't worry Daddy B, He'll say yes." Ella said slipping her hand into his. Blaine smiled and then walked up to the counter with both of his daughters hands to order the flowers. Part one of the proposal was completed. Now, he just had to pick out the ring and hope that Kurt said yes.
After driving the younger girls over to Burt and Carole's, Blaine picked up Matthew and Paige. They drove over to the jewelry shop. The whole shop was overwhelming. There were so many different rings. They split up and looked around the store. Although jewelry was not something Matthew typically shopped for or wore, there was a ring that caught his eye. It was a gold band encrusted with five diamonds. The one in the center was much bigger than the smaller ones surrounding it. There were two diamonds on either side of the larger diamond.
"Hey Dad, Paige, Come here." Matthew called. They both walked over to where Matthew was at one of the display cases. "What about that ring? It has five diamonds. Four small ones for all the kids and one big one for you dad." Matthew told him.
"Oh Matt, that's perfect." Paige said.
"Good job bud. I think I just found my ring." Blaine told him as he placed a proud hand onto his back. They bought the ring and then headed home. Tomorrow was the proposal so they headed to bed early, so no one would be tired for the day tomorrow.
The next morning, Blaine was more nervous than he had ever been in his entire life. What if Kurt said no? What if he completely ruined their family? What if he took Paige and Ella away from him? There was just an endless amount of doubts in this head that he couldn't seem to silence. "Blaine, stop worrying." Paige said. "He's going to say yes." she reassured him.
"I sure hope you're right." Blaine muttered. Around three, Blaine started making dinner while the kids put flowers into vases and placed rose petals all around the house. Kurt would be home by four-thirty so they didn't have much time. While dinner was cooking, they went upstairs and got ready. Blaine and Matthew both wore red button up shirts and black pants. All three girls had red dresses that were identical. They had insisted that it was necessary for them to be matching if Blaine and Matthew were. They finished dinner and had it ready on the table.. At four-twentyfive, Kurt's car pulled into the driveway. The kids hurried upstairs so they wouldn't be seen. They were supposed to "be staying at friends houses" until Blaine proposed. Then they would be downstairs watching the moment that would officially join their families forever. Kurt walked into the house and was amazed at what he saw before him.
"What's all this?" he asked Blaine.
"I just wanted to make our six month anniversary special." Blaine to him. Kurt blushed and smiled back at him.
"It looks amazing." Kurt replied as he walked to the table and sat down. Blaine served him the dinner he had made and they sat down. They talked about normal things for the duration of dinner and Blaine tried his best not to freak out from his nerves. Then it was finally time for dessert. The kids snuck downstairs and sat on the stairs quiet as mice. Blaine went over to the counter where he had hid a cake in the box. The cake said, "Will you marry me?" He meticulously cut the cake in half separating the words.
"You have to pick which piece you want?" Blaine said as he set the two pieces down in front of Kurt and tried to dig the ring out of his pocket. Kurt looked down at the two pieces and saw the red piping on the cake. The one piece said Will and marry while the other said you and me. It took a moment before he connected the two and realized what it said. Then he looked to Blaine who was kneeling down onto the ground with a little velvet box in his hands.
"Kurt Hummel, although I know that you may think I'm crazy for doing this so soon, I want you to hear me out simply because I love you. Ever since I laid eyes on you I knew I was in love. I shamelessly used band uniforms to flirt with you, but in the end I think it worked out very nicely. I believe that we were always meant to be together. I know that we both have pasts that will be there in our minds, but that's not what I care about. I care about the future, our future. I love you and I love each and every single one of our four children. Our families were meant to be joined together. So, Kurt Hummel, my one and only true love, Will you marry me?" Blaine said his smile being bigger than it ever had been. Kurt looked down at him with tears in his eyes. Matthew, Paige, Ella, and Olivia came out from behind the stairs to watch. Paige even had a camera and was filming the moment.
"I-"Kurt stuttered. "I-I can't" he said before getting up from his chair and running out of the door. Blaine slumped to the ground and Matthew went over to comfort his father. Paige thrust the camera into Ella's hands and ran out the door to do the same. She eventually found him at the park not far from their house swinging slowly on the swings. She walked over to him.
"Reminds me of Central Park with Dada." Paige said as she took a seat next to her father. "We used to go there all the time. I remember how he would push Ella and I at the same time and we would both literally squeal with joy. I remember you with the camera capturing every moment."
"I can't do it." Kurt muttered. "I can't marry Blaine, if I still love Adam."
"Dad, I'm going to ask you three questions." Paige told him. "Do you love Blaine?"
"Yes" Kurt replied. "but…" he started before Paige cut him off.
"Does he make you happy?" she asked.
"Yes" Kurt replied again."
"Number three, Do you believe that marrying Blaine is a part of moving on with your life?" This time Kurt didn't have an answer. "I know that you still love Dada, but he's gone and he's not coming back. I remember you told me something. It was just before we moved in with Blaine, Matthew and Olivia. You said that Dada would never be mad at any of us for moving on with our lives. In fact, he would want us to do so." she said. "You have to marry Blaine. I know it's what you want." Kurt nodded as tears prickling in her eyes.
"When did you get so smart?" he asked choking on his tears a little bit. She gave him a hug.
"I was always smart." She replied while in her father's arms. "So...Can I be your maid of honor?" she asked. Kurt laughed.
"Yes, you can be my maid of honor." he replied. Then Paige pulled herself from her father's embrace and just grabbed his hand.
"Let's go tell your new fiance and my new dad what your decision is." She said. Together they walked down the road and back to the house. Blaine was standing at the sink furiously washing dishes muttering about how stupid he was.
"Blaine?" Kurt said a little louder then he should have because Blaine jumped.
"Kurt, what are you-?" Blaine started before Kurt cut him off.
"Yes." he said.
"What?" Blaine asked.
