A/N: And when one fic updates, another ends. This one had been planned to end at 21 for awhile. I know it's sad, but thank you. I'm sorry it took forever to finish, but it's over. I want to thank everyone who's read At War With Myself and stuck by me through the long periods. I promise, it's not the end. Soldier!Blaine may come back one day in a completely different forum/story. Anyway, for now enjoy the slight time jump and New York Klaine. Keep reading my other stuff, yeah?

All my love,

Kiki

Chapter 21

Six months later, Blaine and Kurt were wandering around New York City and laughing together. They were meeting friends for lunch, and Blaine was adjusting quite nicely to life there. But what Kurt didn't know was that Blaine had a trick up his sleeve. He knew that living without Kurt wasn't going to be an option. Losing a leg in the Army and almost losing Kurt a second time had proven that. Kurt was wondering Blaine had stopped right in the middle of Times Square. Blaine had already popped the question to Kurt once, while he was laying in bed after an intense sex session, but this time it was going to be different. He turned towards the billboard of one of Kurt's many favorite shows and smiled.

"Baby, you know how amazingly important you are to me, right? And I know I did this once already, but it wasn't as romantic as I'd wanted it to be. Kurt Hummel…you are the best thing in my world."

Blaine said, kneeling down and bending on to one knee and opening the ring box he'd had in his coat pocket. Kurt gasped and looked around at the people gathering around to watch them. Kurt felt the tears in his eyes and watched as Blaine continued on.

"I know things haven't been easy lately. Okay? Believe me, I know. But things are a lot better now. I have an amazing job here. You got an amazing job here. We're right here where we belong. And we're here together. The way it will be forever. So, Captain Kurt Hummel, my amazing friend, my one true love. Will you do me the amazing honors of officially saying yes to my second marriage proposal, and marrying me?"

Kurt gasped and smiled, nodding as Blaine struggled to get off his knee. Kurt knelt down and grabbed him gently by the arm and pulled him up before kissing him slowly and softly, nodding. Everyone clapped and watched as Blaine slid the ring on Kurt's finger, knowing that to him…this was their first part of forever.

One year later:

"Do you, Blaine Devon Anderson, take thee Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, to be your lawfully wedded husband? From this day forward. To have and to hold. Forever and Ever. Until death do you part?"

"I do."

"Do you, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, take thee Blaine Devon Anderson to be your lawfully wedded husband. From this day forward. To have and to hold. Forever and Ever. Until death do you part?"

"I do."

"By the power vested in me by the state of New York…I now pronounce you husbands. You may now kiss."

Blaine leaned in and kissed Kurt softly as his husband. He couldn't get over that. Husbands. They'd gotten married and had one of their best friends, Wes, marry them. Blaine looked lovingly at Kurt and he couldn't be happier with the way that his life ended up.

Nine Months Later:

Splashed along the front page of all the major newspapers was a picture of Blaine and Kurt and their new daughter. Blaine couldn't help it. He'd released photos to the press of the three of them together. Blaine was an investment banker, and a wildly successful one at that, and Kurt became a theater sensation overnight. Blaine smiled and looked down at his newborn daughter in his arms and looked up at his husband.

"Acacia Elizabeth Anderson. Our beautiful baby girl. She's truly ours, sweetheart. And I couldn't be more happy."

And for the first time in his life, he didn't feel so alone. Blaine started humming a song and Kurt started singing it. He knew it was the song Blaine wrote when he'd first reconnected with Kurt. But he smiled and finished it out.

"This must be how it feels to have a home."

-The end.
