I'm so sorry this update took longer than usual! I've just been so busy here lately! That being said, I doubt my next update will be very soon. I just don't know because things with school are getting crazy and it's hard to find time to write. :(

Oh, the joys of being a high school senior. Sigh. Anyways.

I do not own Glee.

"Have a great holiday break, guys! Come back ready to sing and dance!" Mr. Schuester smiled as he watched the students stand up. It was the Friday before Christmas break was due to start, and everyone in Glee club had agreed to have a party after school that day. It had been fun with tons of food, singing, dancing, and games, but now it was time to go home.

Blaine was definitely ready for that. He needed to go home, wrap presents, and relax. He was exhausted. And so, so stressed because he still didn't have a present for Kurt yet. It was just... it was so difficult to shop for Kurt because the boy had nearly every clothing item under the sun; not to mention, Blaine wanted the perfect present, but he didn't know what that perfect preset could be.

Urgh.

He thought about it as he drove home from the school, but nothing came to him. Not a single thing. It was really frustrating, but Blaine tried not to let it bother him as he got out of the car and hurried inside, as it had started to snow a bit. Maybe that meant a white Christmas this year?

"Hey, sweetie!" Carole smiled from where she sat on the couch, watching some cooking show. "I was just about to start dinner. Are you hungry?"

Shaking his head, Blaine put his backpack beside the couch before sitting down. "No, not really. We had a party after school today and I ate a lot there." He shrugged.

"Oh, okay. You know... I think I'll have tonight be one of those... get it yourself nights. Burt's working late anyways and I think Finn's helping him, so they can just fix whatever they want when they get home." Carole murmured with a small shrug to herself. "Anyways, how was school? Was your party fun?"

"School was fine." Blaine murmured. "We didn't really do much since it was the last day before break. And the party was fun... we sang plenty of Christmas carols... and I ate a lot." He said with a small blush. "I think my cravings are starting to kick in now because I kept wanting to eat these little chocolate candies with ketchup..."

"Ah, cravings." Carole smiled at that as she thought back to some of the crazy combinations she'd had while pregnant with Finn. "I know how that goes, sweetie. Sometimes you just want to eat some wild things that seem so delicious to you, even if others think they are gross."

Nodding, Blaine couldn't help but blush at that. He remembered how some of the girls had turned their noses up at his choice of food at the party and declared it was disgusting. It had left Blaine feeling a little self-conscious, but Tina quickly came to the rescue by saying it was completely normal. Cravings were just a part of pregnancy, after all, and she was sure to remind everyone else of that.

"So are you glad it's almost Christmas?"

The sound of Carole's voice jolted Blaine out of his thoughts and he turned to her with a small smile. "Yeah, I am. I'm mostly just excited to see Kurt." He said, his smile widening at the mention of the countertenor. "When will he be here, by the way?"

"His flight comes in early Christmas eve." Carole responded. "He told me that's the only available flight he could get... he would've been here sooner otherwise."

Hearing that obviously disappointed the pregnant boy, as Christmas eve was several days away and he had been anticipating spending all of break with Kurt. Now it looked like that wasn't going to happen. "Well." He said after a moment. "Okay. I guess it gives me more time to figure out a Christmas present for him." Shrugging lightly, Blaine stood up from the couch and rubbed his stomach as the baby moved. "I'm gonna head to my room for a bit. I'm feeling kind of tired after today."

"Okay." Carole said as she looked to Blaine. She watched the boy walk away with a smile and couldn't help but giggle slightly. It seemed that Blaine had bought her story... which meant he was in for a great surprise when he walked into his room.

Blaine let out a small sigh as he started down the hallway, once again trying to think of a Christmas idea for Kurt. He honestly had no clue what he could get for him and he wanted this gift to be perfect, especially after everything that had happened recently. Kurt had been trying so hard to make everything up to Blaine, and he wanted to make sure the other boy knew it was greatly appreciated...
'Surely I'll think of something. There's still several days til Christmas.' He thought as he opened the door to his room. Maybe he could even text Rachel and see if she could give him ideas on what to give Kurt. They were roommates, after all...

Yeah, maybe that would work. Thinking it might, Blaine walked into his room with a small smile; however, something quickly stopped him and he let out a surprised gasp.

There, on the bed, adorned with a bright red bow on the top of his head, was his Kurt. He was smiling from ear to ear and he visibly perked up when Blaine noticed him. "Hi."

"Kurt! Oh my god!" Almost immediately, Blaine launched himself towards the bed and into Kurt's waiting arms for a hug. "What're you doing here? I thought your flight didn't come in until Christmas eve! Carole said-"

"Carole only said what I told her to." Kurt said with a grin as he wrapped his arms around Blaine. He hugged him tightly for a moment before pulling back to look into those beautiful brown eyes that he loved so much. "I wanted to surprise you, so I flew in today and asked her to tell you that I wouldn't be in until Christmas eve. That way you wouldn't be expecting me."

"Well I definitely wasn't!" Blaine exclaimed. "I was disappointed that you wouldn't be here. But now... you are... and I just... it's great. Really great." He moved in again for another hug and he breathed deeply, inhaling Kurt's familiar scent. Oh, how he'd missed it. He finally pulled away to look at the other boy, still grinning widely as he began to speak.

"So how was the flight?"

At the same moment, Kurt let out an exclamation of his own, "Oh my Gaga, your stomach!"

Both boys stopped for a second before laughing and Blaine gently placed a hand on his midsection. "What?"

"Your stomach!" Kurt exclaimed again. "I mean, the baby bump. It's... it's gotten a lot bigger since Thanksgiving."

Blinking, Blaine glanced down for a moment and blushed slightly. "Oh, has it?"

"It has!" Kurt said excitedly. He then reached over to gently place a hand on the bump, still smiling widely. "That's... that's amazing, Blaine. So amazing. And you look amazing, too, sweetie. You're absolutely glowing."

The words only made Blaine blush a deeper shade of red and he glanced up to meet those glasz eyes again. "You think?"

"Yes!"

"Ah." Blaine glanced down at his stomach and shrugged slightly. Sure, he had noticed his expanding stomach recently (as his clothes has begun to get snug), but he hadn't realized it was anything very obvious to others. Apparently it was, though. "I guess I hadn't noticed it yet. I've been busy with school and work, so my mind has been elsewhere..." He said after a moment.

"Well you look great." Kurt gently rubbed his stomach with a smile. "Your baby bump is absolutely adorable."

Blaine laughed at that. "I had a customer at Baby's R Us tell me that. I told her I was flattered."

"Did you?" Kurt laughed, already seeing it in his head. Blaine was probably the most adorable employee at Baby's R Us, he figured. "I don't doubt it." He said after a moment.

Blaine smiled and dropped a hand down to his stomach, where he could feel his daughter moving around. "Thank you." He murmured.

Kurt returned the smile and merely gazed at the pregnant boy for a moment because, oh, he had missed him so, so much. Seeming to notice the gaze, Blaine blushed slightly. "What?"

"Nothing." The countertenor responded immediately. "Just you. I missed you."

Blaine blushed let again and ducked his head. "I missed you too, Kurt. A lot."

Smiling, Kurt reached over to squeeze the other boy's hand. "Well I'm here now and we'll have all of break to spend together." He murmured.
'And then some.' He thought to himself, smiling even more at the thought of telling Blaine that he would be staying in Ohio, even after Christmas break. He'd made the decision to transfer to the Lima campus of Ohio State and not return to New York; that way he could be with Blaine and definitely be in Lima when their daughter was born. He figured it would be easier on everyone if he did that!
'Of course, as long as dad is okay with it...' He thought. He wasn't sure how Burt would react to the news, but he was hoping his father would approve and love the fact that Kurt was trying to take responsibility and be here. He just felt like it was the right thing to do and he... gosh, he needed to be here for Blaine.

"Hey."

The sound of Blaine's voice snapped him from his thoughts and he glanced up at him.
"Hm?"

"You wanna go to the Lima Bean? My treat." He asked with a smile, clearly just wanting to spend time with him.

Kurt was definitely up for that and he stood from the bed with a smile. "Of course, that sounds great. I've been missing the Lima Bean here lately." He said as he reached over to grab his coat from the chair by the door.

Blaine stood up as well, though it was a bit slower due to his belly, and moved to the closet to find a scarf to wear. "Hey." He said after finding one and wrapping it around his neck. "You gonna leave that on your head? I mean, it's cute, but..." He trailed off, though he was smiling.

Blinking, Kurt reached up to feel the top of his head, and he chuckled when he found the red bow he'd placed there. "I forgot about this." He said, putting it on the dresser. He'd originally used it singe could look like a "present" for Blaine, but he definitely didn't want it on his head in public. "Thanks for telling me. Now. Ready to go?"

Blaine smiled happily and reached over to grab the other boy's hand. "Yeah, I am."

Dawww, a Christmas surprise for Blaine. :)

Of course, there's more Christmas goodness to come, so don't worry. I really need to think of gift ideas for Blaine to give Kurt and vice versa... what do you guys think on the matter? What should they get each other?

Suggestions would be loved. :)
