Blaine was not pleased when the Braxton Hicks started.

The first time it happened he was in his music theory class, listening to the professor talk when suddenly there was a sharp tightening in his abdomen. He dropped his hand to his belly and frowned, wondering what that was. He'd never felt anything like it before. But it didn't happen again for the remainder of class, so he brushed it off as an odd feeling cramp or something.

The feeling returned, however, when he arrived home and dropped his bag down beside the door. He was just about to waddle his way to the couch when the uncomfortable tightening happened again and he frowned, wondering what that was. "That's weird." He said aloud, gently rubbing his stomach. It didn't feel like he had gas, and cramps he had before usually didn't occur right there, but wait- Suddenly he stopped, his eyes widening in realization. Were these contractions? Oh god, were they? There was no way this should he happening already! He was only 30 weeks along and that was too early!

Breathing deeply, Blaine made his way over to the couch and slowly sat down, trying to remember what the doctor had told him at the next check up. He'd mentioned that the baby would probably remain very active until the last few weeks of pregnancy, the heartburn Blaine had been experiencing was normal (and also apparently a sign that the baby would have lots of hair?), and he mentioned that he could start experiencing false labor contractions anytime now.

Oh! That's right! False labor contractions... Braxton Hicks! That's what this had to be, right?
"Right. That's what it is." Blaine said softly to himself, glancing at the clock. Either way, he was going to time them to make sure they didn't become closer together if they continued. If that happened, he was going to call the doctor. And then call Kurt. Because if he went into labor he definitely needed Kurt to be there too.

Thankfully, twenty minutes passed without another contraction and Blaine finally relaxed, glad that's all it had been. He let out a breath and stretched out on the couch, realizing then that he really, really needed a nap. Days that he went to class were always exhausting, so... His eyes dropped closed only a moment after he was settled and it was no time before Blaine was in dreamland.

"Blaine, honey, it's time for dinner!"

Blaine awoke with a start, surprised to see Kurt standing over him when he opened his eyes. He smiled, though, and eagerly sat up to greet his husband with a kiss. "What're we eating?"

Kurt happily kissed his love before helping him off the couch, all the while babbling about the meal he had just prepared. "Well I made some chicken on that handy little George Forman Grill thing that Carole gave us, and then I steamed some asparagus and made mashed potatoes to go with it. Sound good?"

Nodding, Blaine slowly made his way to where the table was set, and he realized then that he had slept for nearly three hours on the couch. Oh well. He felt much, much better. "It looks great, honey. And I'm starving, so let's eat." He smiled appreciatively, liking how his husband had already fixed a plate with serving of everything on it.

Kurt smiled back at his husband and started to eat, chatting a little bit about how class had been that day. The conversation continued on about random things after that, and Kurt was happily babbling about his latest project when Blaine let out a small, "Oh!" He dropped a hand down to his stomach as a look of discomfort crossed his face, and he realized then this was another Braxton Hicks contraction. Well then. It passed after a moment and he let out a breath, glancing to Kurt with a small smile. "Sorry, I just-"

"Is everything okay, honey? It looked li-"

"Yeah, it was just a contraction, but-"

"A contraction!" Kurt flew from his seat, his eyes wide as he rushed to his husband. "Is this the first one? Are they painful? Why didn't you tell me, we need to get to the hospital if it's time! But... oh Gaga, it's too early for labor; she can't be coming yet! Holy crap, what do we-"

"Kurt." Blaine reached out to grab his panicking love and he smiled, trying to convey that everything was fine. "I'm okay, honey. And so is the baby... they're just Braxton Hicks contractions, which the doctor said are completely normal."

"Normal? They're the... false labor things?"

"Yeah, I suppose they are. Kinda like practice for the real thing." Blaine smiled, chuckling at the look on Kurt's face. His panic from moments earlier had been adorable, but he was glad all was calm now.

Blushing, Kurt moved back to his chair. "Oh. Um, well sorry. Just kinda scared me there." He sort of laughed, picking up his fork to eat some more.

"It's fine. No reason to panic yet. They don't even hurt that badly or anything, so it's okay."

Four hours later, though, Blaine wasn't saying the same thing.

He was laying in bed on his side, gently rubbing his stomach as he breathed through a rather weak Braxton Hicks. Kurt lay beside him, gently smoothing his hair and worriedly glancing at the phone as if he might snatch it up and call the doctor any moment now.

"I'm okay." Blaine said softly like he'd been reading Kurt's mind. "They don't really hurt... they're just uncomfortable. And they come and go and they're so irregular... which that pamphlet says is normal for these things. So... it's okay." He whispered, motioning to the pamphlet on Braxton Hicks that he had been given on his last trip to the doctor. Kurt had dug it out, claiming now was the perfect time for them to look at it, and so the two sat down and read it together so they knew what to expect.

"I'm sorry it's so uncomfortable, though. I wish I could make it stop."

Blaine smiled slightly as he leaned in to give Kurt a quick peck. "Maybe you should talk to her. That paper said that the baby moving around a lot could cause the Braxton Hicks... and she's been wiggling. Maybe you talking to her will make her settle?" He suggested. Oftentimes when Kurt spoke to his belly the wriggling little girl inside would calm, and it was also absolutely adorable for Blaine to watch his husband coo and sing to his bump.

"Okay!" Smiling, Kurt scooted down until his face was level with Blaine's round stomach and he briefly pressed a kiss to it. "Hi there, baby. How's the inside of Mommy's tummy tod- Ow, Blaine! What'd you hit me for?"

"Don't call me Mommy."

Kurt rolled his eyes, though he was smiling as he turned to the bump again. "I mean, how's everything in Daddy's tummy today? I hear you're wiggling around and kicking him a whole lot... he keeps telling me that you're gonna be a soccer player because of it." He paused for a moment as if he was listening to a response, then he started again. "Well, guess what? We've almost got your room finished now. It's all painted, your crib is up, the curtains are on the window... it's looking beautiful. And we know you're going to love it. Of course with me for a father, naturally you'll have an eye for good taste and will just love anything that looks absolutely darling and..."

Blaine allowed his eyes to drift closed as he listened to his husband ramble on. The baby's wiggles had subsided (except for a few small kicks she'd delivered near Kurt's face) and he was thankful that he had such an amazing husband that would do this. Their baby wasn't even out of the womb yet and was being told about their house, her clothes, about her family, and how she would be so, so loved. Blaine didn't think it could get any better than this. Which was why he contently laid there, still smiling softly as Kurt just babbled and babbled on to their daughter. Life was good (...except for the Braxton Hicks, of course).


I had several requests for a chapter on Blaine having Braxton Hicks, so here you go! I hoped you liked it. :) The next chapter is probably going to be Valentine's Day for the boys, and then after that I'll start the trial stuff!

Oh, and I posted a new story earlier! It's called Anything But Typical and it's another Klaine mpreg story... you guys should go check it out if you haven't already.

Now... go review! Please, please, please? :) Reviews are always loved!
