A/N: Oh my God guys! This story is really moving along! I've never been so good at updating before and it's all thanks to you! I really can't thank you all enough for your love and support! Here is the third and probably final part of le baby shower! I hope you enjoy it! Kurt and Blaine are a little angry with me for all the drama but they'll get over it. And Kurt doesn't approve of me making his dad uncomfortable. – shakes head – well, it had to happen! One with the show! – coughs – I mean story.
Everyone seemed to scramble around to take seats as Santana stood by the gifts. Kurt was clapping his hands wildly, the tub of candy pacifiers sitting open on the bed between himself and Blaine. Blaine had stuck his hand into the tub and put a handful of the small candies into his mouth at once. Kurt wrinkled his nose and shook his head. "You pig Blaine," he said, returning his attention to Santana who was lifting a package covered in white paper with the words 'It's a girl' printed all over it in pink print. The ribbon tied around the package was pretty pink to go with the paper and Kurt squealed in delight as she handed it to him.
"This one is from Quinn and Puck," she said and Kurt looked over at his two friends who nodded and smiled at him. Most of them knew that Kurt had already been on the prowl purchasing the major necessities himself so the gifts that they were all getting him and Blaine were more of the day to day necessities, such as bibs, clothes, toys, burp rags, and pacifiers. And bottles too. But this looked particularly larger in size than all of that and Kurt had to wonder what could possibly be in the package. What had his friends gone and paid so much money on to get them for their little girls? He couldn't believe anyone would spend so much money on them but it was really for their daughters. Though he still couldn't believe their friends would go that much out of their way.
Kurt grinned back at Puck and Quinn and started carefully to unwrap the present, sliding his fingers delicately under the taped flap on one end. Blaine started to get annoyed and rolled his eyes. "Come on Kurt, just rip the paper off that sucker!" he said. Kurt threw him one of his bitch glares. Figured. Trust Kurt to want to unwrap something so carefully that he was able to fold the paper neatly and reuse it in the future. Recyclable Kurt. That was what they should call him. It was funny because he had the money to buy fresh wrapping paper any time they needed it. But Kurt just didn't like wasting things. Blaine was starting to get impatient watching his husband carefully slide his fingers through each piece of tape. He rolled his eyes again and snatched the package from Kurt's hands.
"Blaine!" Kurt shouted with a bit of a squeal in his tone. "Give that back!" He reached for the package but Blaine held it out of his grasp. Turning away from Kurt he ripped through the paper. "Hey! We could have reused that!" Kurt stated, trying to sound angry though he was failing terribly by the sound of laughter breaking through his voice. The whole scene was really kind of funny. People thought that Kurt was acting like a kid over the presents, but Blaine was the one who was ripping paper off like a five-year-old on Christmas morning.
Scraps of paper tumbled to the floor as Blaine ripped it away to reveal…a pack-n-play. It was a type of playpen that had sort of a built in crib and changing table on the top. Kurt stared wide-eyed at the present. How had Quinn and Puck been able to afford such a thing? For a moment, he wondered if there were two of them, thinking they would have bought one for each twin. But closer examination of the box told them it was a duo, meant for twins. That must have cost twice as much and Kurt found himself feeling guilty that his friends had thought to buy that for him and Blaine. He felt tears in his eyes as he turned to look at them. "Thank you…" he whispered. He was very grateful. They smiled at him and Quinn came over and gently gave him a hug.
"It wasn't a problem Kurt," she said, grinning again. "You're one of the best friends we all have. You and Blaine both. So, you only deserve the best for your little girls." Kurt had never heard Quinn say anything so sincere before and he just stared up at her with a watery smile as the tears began to fall. With his hormones so high, he had a feeling he would be doing a lot of crying on this day in particular. After all, he had never thought about how much he meant to his friends, though he knew they were the greatest friends he could ever ask for.
Santana had picked up a gift bag and was now passing it to Kurt. "This is from Brittany. She and I bought separately for you guys." Kurt nodded, biting his lip. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to know what Brittany had bought for their daughters. He and Blaine exchanged glances and Brittany giggled behind her hand. What she knew, they weren't really sure but Kurt had a feeling that whatever it was, it was something very Brittany. He took a deep breath and reached his hand into the gift bag, pulling out the first of the gifts inside, as it seemed to be filled with multiple things.
Both men found themselves in pleasant surprise when Kurt saw that a pack of three bibs were held in his grip. But even though it seemed the present was convention, it still was Brittany. On the first bib was a unicorn and printed in pink letters, it read 'Daddy's little unicorn'. Typical Brittany, that was for sure. Looking through the other bibs, Kurt and Blaine saw they were all printed with unicorns. The second one had no words on it and the third one said, 'Unicorn princess' on it. Kurt couldn't help but grin. They were really cute, especially coming from Brittany. He smiled at the blonde girl and stuck his hand back in the gift bag, pulling out a second set of bibs. These ones had dolphins on them. Where she had found the dolphin bibs, Kurt had no idea but they didn't have any words. Finally, he reached his hand in one more time and pulled out two little onesies. One had a unicorn on it and the other had a dolphin. It figured. Everything went together and Kurt couldn't help but grin wider.
"Thank you Brittany. They're all very cute," Blaine said as his husband continued to grin. They should have expected it though. The dolphins and unicorns were definitely Brittany's trademark. She smiled and giggled at them both in response, happy that they seemed to like her gifts. Now their little girls could be dolphins and unicorns too and fit right into their family. They had to be like their daddies. Of course Brittany would think that way.
Another gift bag was being set on the bed in front of them now. "This is from me," Santana said with a smile. Kurt grinned and handed the bag to Blaine so that his husband could open this one. He decided than that they would take turns opening the gifts. And seeing as Blaine had ripped into the package from Quinn and Puck, it was only fair that Brittany's gift was Kurt's to open. So Santana's was for Blaine. Blaine took the gift bag from his husband and grinned at him. He reached his hand into the bag.
Out came a package of bottles and some bottle cleaners, a couple of burp rags, and two matching teething rings for use when the girls started to teethe. Santana had gone really convention and Kurt could say that he was genuinely surprised. He had expected some sort of gag gift from her, given that it was Santana and she never really showed that she actually cared about anyone even though they knew she did. Blaine grinned happily and looked up at her. Santana was smiling genuinely. She had sure changed quite a bit since high school but she was still the same Santana nonetheless. She just didn't care as much about what other people thought about her.
"Thanks Santana," Kurt said, looking up at her. "These will be really useful." He flushed lightly, knowing that he had been so silly for not thinking about the conventional stuff like the bottles and things like that. He smiled and neatly helped Blaine place the items back in the bag so that they could make room for the next present, which Santana had already turned to go and retrieve.
"You're welcome porcelain. I may not have kids of my own yet, but I figured you'd need the real necessary stuff," she said, picking up a package that Kurt thought looked quite squishy. He found himself wondering what on Earth could be in that wrapping paper that would be squishy. It was rectangular in shape so there was no way that it was a stuffed animal. He looked at Blaine who seemed just as confused as he was. They couldn't seem to think of anything that would have fit the description. The paper was printed with babies wrapped in pink blankets. Santana handed it to Kurt. "This is from Artie," she said. Kurt looked over at the man in the wheelchair who gave him thumbs up and grinned.
Again, Kurt started to carefully unwrap the gift. He could tell out of the corner of his eye that Blaine was itching to rip into the paper again. He gave him a stern look and Blaine bit his lip, kissing Kurt playfully on the cheek. The taller man shook his head, going back to his task. It seemed to take a grueling five minutes or so, though it had probably only been about two, but Kurt finally managed to carefully unwrap the present. It turned out to be a massive package of diapers. He should have figured. What else could it have been? Kurt started laughing lightly, knowing that diapers were not an uncommon gift. There were plenty of people at gave diapers and they knew they were going to need an awful lot of them. They would need twice as many as someone expecting one baby. "Thanks Artie. We hadn't bought any yet," Kurt said. Artie grinned at him in response.
Santana was making her way over with another package. This one was wrapped in silver paper and hand the word 'Congratulations' printed all over it in pink. "This is from Finn," she said, a bit of worry in her voice, as though she thought Finn wouldn't buy something of appropriateness. Finn just glared at her. Blaine took the package carefully from her, feeling its weight. He could tell it was a box of some sort. Finn was watching him carefully, biting his lip. He seemed to be just a little unsure about it too. "Chill man boobs," Santana said. "I'm sure it's fine." Finn just sort of glared at her for a moment before turning to watch his stepbrother's husband open his gift. He'd only put his name on it, knowing that Kurt and Blaine probably wouldn't care if Rachel pitched in or not. She hadn't, as Finn had gone shopping for their gift on his own.
Blaine ripped into the paper just as he had with Quinn and Puck's gift. Kurt rolled his eyes and shook his head. How his husband could do something like rip perfectly good wrapping paper, he still didn't have a clue. There was a box underneath the wrapping paper, the kind that normally held clothes within it. Blaine slid his hands through the tape holding the top of the box down and pulled of the lid. He flipped open the tissue paper to find a cute little white sundress printed with pink flowers. He gasped in surprise, lifting the little dress into the air. Only to reveal beneath it was a matching dress that had purple flowers instead of pink. And on the bottom of the box were two matching bonnets, one for each dress. Kurt had to admit, he was impressed. And so was Santana apparently.
"Finn, wherever did you learn to shop for baby girls?" Kurt asked in surprise. Blaine was speechless, still looking at the adorable dresses in awe. His daughters were definitely going to be dressed in style. Finn rubbed the back of is neck with his hand and laughed nervously, knowing that he had obviously done well if Kurt had approved of the clothes he had gotten for his little girls.
"Well, I do have a daughter Kurt," he reminded him. Kurt smiled over at him. "And the world's most fashionable brother," he added. Kurt could only smile wider. He loved it when Finn called him his brother. Not his stepbrother or his brother by marriage, just simply, his brother. This was a tender moment. Finn walked over to the two of them and hugged them both gently. It was awkward hugging Kurt as he had that belly to hug around, but that didn't stop him. That was when Kurt knew why he didn't have to panic about the girls not having enough clothes. He could always design clothes for them himself. But that wasn't the point. The point was that Finn had given them an incredible gift for their daughters. He hugged him back tightly, not knowing what else to say.
For a moment, the room just admired Finn's very good choice of present for the Hummel-Anderson twins. Santana finally found her resolve and went to get another gift. She came back to Kurt's bedside, carrying an odd-shaped bulky package. "This is from your dad and stepmother," she said. Kurt looked over at his parents and they smiled at him. Carole was holding Burt's hand and she gave it a squeeze. Kurt wondered why they had felt obligated to get a gift. Sure, the girls would be their grandchildren but they'd done enough for him and Blaine already. They really didn't have to pitch in with this too. How did he get so blessed?
Kurt tried to unwrap the gift carefully but the odd shape and bulkiness made that nearly impossible and so reluctantly, he found himself ripping through the paper, which was printed with pacifiers all over it. Blaine laughed knowing that Kurt hated giving in but his laughter was cut short as Kurt revealed what had been wrapped in the paper. It was a baby bathtub full of bath supplies. Little wash clothes, hooded towels, and baby shampoo. Not to mention a few bath toys. Kurt could only stare at the gift. Again, his parents had done too much for him. He was crying again. Of course, he had kind of been teary the whole time but was trying to be strong with the emotion. He could not believe it that his parents had gone and done something like this for him and Blaine. He was speechless. A glance over at his husband told him Blaine was speechless too. Burt and Carole both looked pleased.
"D-dad," Kurt finally stuttered, staring down at the gift in amazement. "Y-you didn't have t-to," he managed to get out, shaking his head gently. His voice was choked. Blaine reached a hand out and started rubbing soothing circles into Kurt's back. Burt stood up and came over to the bedside, taking his son's hand and smiling down at him. Kurt just blinked away the tears and threw his arms around the man. He had really been grateful just to have such a wonderful father. And Carole, while not his biological mother, had become so much like a mother to him he couldn't imagine not having her in his life. She came over as well and Kurt wasted no time hugging her too. It was till odd, what with his belly and everything but right than, he didn't care. "Thank you," he choked out. Burt and Carole smiled down at him and walked around the bed to gently hug Blaine who was tearing now as well. They were really great parents-in-law.
The whole room was full of emotion as Santana went to retrieve the next gift. Kurt sniffled and tried his best to dry his eyes. The next thing Santana brought over wasn't wrapped, though that was because it was too big to be wrapped and Kurt's jaw dropped. Someone had gone ahead and purchased him and Blaine a double stroller and a car seat. Who had gone to such limits? Santana smiled shortly and Kurt thought this couldn't get any better than what his parents had done. He still thought what they'd gotten was a bit much for them. They didn't live that well off and he had no idea how much a baby bathtub actually cost. But this…this was something he was quite sure none of them could have afforded even if they tried. A double stroller and a car seat? Kurt was just glad that he had already bought a pair of high chairs himself. They were already situated in the kitchen.
"Whoever bought these things, you guys are ridiculous! Seriously! Blaine and I have the money; we can handle buying the big stuff ourselves. You really didn't have to." Blaine nodded his head in agreement. He was at a loss for words and kind of surprised that Kurt still had the ability to say anything at all. The whole thing was just overwhelming. To both their surprise, Will and Emma stood up and smiled at them.
"Nonsense Kurt," Will said putting an arm around his wife who only smiled wider. "You two are both important to all of us. And really, the stroller and the car seat were no big deal. I paid for one and Emma the other." Kurt stared at them wide-eyed. Sure, he'd had a close connection with his choir teacher in high school and gotten to know Emma pretty well because of her contribution to the Glee club, but he had never imagined they would one day care enough to buy such an important baby gift. He would have been fine with toys or more clothes from the two of them. It was kind of what he had been expecting. But this, this was just something that words couldn't speak for. Will and Emma just continued to smile at them.
"You guys do too much for us," Blaine finally said. The others all shook their heads, feeling that they didn't do enough for them. Blaine and Kurt had so much devotion to them all in the past and now it was kind of like their turn to return the favor. But they felt their two friends, who were obviously the most successful of their group, deserved the best that they could give them. And this was the way they knew how. They didn't mind splurging on Kurt and Blaine. Who would mind that? They were two of the best people they had ever known. Kurt was in tears again. Blaine hugged him close.
And as the gifts kept coming, Kurt just couldn't stop crying, even though there wasn't really anything humongous anymore, but that wasn't the point. The fact that a lot of them had gone with multiple purchases was enough to keep the waterworks streaming down his face and by the end of the whole ordeal Blaine was in tears too. They had never loved their friends more than they did after all the gifts had been opened. They had ended up with more clothes, diapers and baby blankets and bedding from Mercedes and Sam, toys and books from both Rory and Lauren, booties, yet more clothes, bottles, and bibs from Mike and Tina and Wes and David surprised them both by getting them a bottle rack, coupled with some cans of baby formula and more burp rags. The room was piled with all the presents. Kurt had a hard time wondering if there was anything they were missing.
After that, a nurse had entered the room to check Kurt's vitals and the babies and than told everyone that she was sorry if she was cutting the party short but it was time for them to leave as they'd already been there passed visiting hours. Finn, being the last one to leave the room after everyone had said good-bye, hugged both of them again and asked if Blaine wanted to be moved to his wheelchair. Blaine declined, saying that he would rather try to spend a night in the bed with Kurt. After confirming that Blaine was sure, Finn told them he'd see them in the morning and he would help Blaine than and left.
The two married men ended up spending more time kissing and sucking face all night than they did sleeping. Yes, it was certainly a wonderful end to the best baby shower either of them could have ever asked for. Even if it did end up leaving cake, frosting, cookies, and wrapping paper all over the floor.
A/N: And our lovely baby shower comes to a close! Sorry I couldn't put them individually opening every single gift. That would have made the chapter uber long and way passed my normal length so I just included what everyone else got them in the ending! Anyway, let me know what you all think. Reviews make me smile so keep them coming! Next chapter, Kurt gets to go home! Yay! See you than!
