So this chapter is a long time coming. I am so sorry it took me so long to update!
I have some shout outs first to Helen who has been with me since the first chapter and has taken time to write me so often. hugs and kisses
And the crackers to my cheeseball… Thanks for putting up with my emotions lately. You're the best friend a girl could ask for. xoxo
They held each other's hand in a grip that cut the circulation off in both hands, but neither of them cared. They were getting their daughter. They were actually going to have a child after months of paperwork and desperation; they were actually going to get to have their family. Kurt nearly ran off the road yet again as his tears of joy blurred his vision.
"Babe, please don't kill us before we get there," Blaine teased as Kurt corrected them.
"Sorry," he chuckled wetly, "I just can't help it." Blaine kissed the hand he was holding,
"I know, Angel, me either."
The nursery had been fixed in record time, the colors, which had obviously been selected months before, were a calming green and brown with some cream colored spread around. They had decided on an earthy theme, Kurt had painted a tree on the wall and put up shelves as the branches.
As they walked into social services Blaine pulled Kurt back, stopping him.
"What-?"
"This is it," Blaine murmured, "We are going to be dads, this may quite possibly be the best feeling in the entire world, and I've had sex with you, so that's really saying something," Kurt playfully swatted him, but grinned.
"There is no one I'd rather be going on this adventure with than you." Kurt stated. "Promise me that we won't become those parents who forget about each other. I still want you to be my best friend." Blaine kissed his lips quickly,
"That will never changed, Kurt, I suspect we will scar our children quite a lot with our blatant love for each other."
Kurt smiled,
"Good," he decided. They continued into the building following the appropriate signs. Finally they reached a secretary, who looked up at them and smiled,
"You must be Mr. and Mr. Anderson Hummel." They both nodded, their cheeks hurting from how large they were smiling. "Right this way," she led them into a room with a couch and desk, a social worker's office. "Katy will be right with you, she's just getting her ready." Kurt's hand that wasn't attached to Blaine's reached and grabbed his arm, turning his body toward Blaine.
"What if she doesn't like us?" he asked suddenly terrified. Blaine smiled softly and cupped Kurt's cheek,
"She will, she's 9 weeks old, I don't think she's really had time to develop an attachment to anyone else." Kurt shook his head,
"I did research and that's when they develop their attachments. Oh god Blaine, she's going to hate us." Blaine opened his mouth to refute his husband once more, but then the door opened and their social worker entered carrying the most beautiful child either of them had ever seen. She had dark hair that matched Blaine and bright blue eyes, her cheeks were pink and wet and she'd clearly been crying as she was still fussing anxiously.
"Oh come on, little one, can't you make a good impression with your daddies?" Katy asked her as she rocked gently. This didn't seem to help much and the baby just whimpered slightly. "Hey, guys, this is your daughter." Kurt and Blaine stared at her in awe, theirs, she was theirs. "Can't say I completely blame her for being fussy, she's been passed around so much in her short life, I'd be upset too." Katy stated, smiling as she handed her over to Kurt, who held her gently.
"Look at that skin, you, my little girl, are going to get the cutest clothes ever," he cooed. Margaret quieted slightly as she looked up at Kurt, "Hi, sweetheart." Blaine finally was broken out of his trance at his daughter,
"Um why has she been passed around so much?" He asked, watching as Kurt took her hand with his finger and let her hold it.
"She's unfortunately not the easiest baby, and a lot of foster families have other children, so she got passed off a few times," Kurt shook his head,
"No more, Maggie, you're ours for good, I'm your daddy, and this is your papa, and we've waited for you for a long time." Margaret looked up at him interestedly, her fussing had ended and she was now studying the man holding her.
"Was she just not easy because she's fussy?" Blaine asked, imagining that being constantly uprooted and moved hadn't made the most stable way to spend the first weeks of life.
"No, she also has a weak stomach, so most formula makes her sick, which is why she's actually a little small for her age," not that Kurt and Blaine would have known. "She also has a hard time falling asleep for some reason, and her crying could wake the dead." Kurt grinned,
"Strong lungs, she'll be a singer," he looked up at Blaine who beamed and nodded in agreement. "And it's okay that you have a weak tummy, baby, Daddy will fix you whatever you need and we'll get you bigger in no time." Katy smiled as she watched the men looking at their child like she was the most precious thing in the entire world.
"You gonna be a diva like Daddy?" Blaine asked, causing Kurt to glare at him with a 'hey!'
"I do believe it was you, sir that cried when they stopped showing Gilmore Girls in syndication and then proceeded to call the network and scream at them for thirty minutes. And it was you who got a man fired for grabbing my ass by beating him-" Kurt gasped when he realized he'd cursed in front of the baby. "Oh, baby I'm sorry, Daddy didn't mean to say that bad word." He kissed her head delicately and brushed his thumb against her cheek. Katy chuckled lightly,
"I think she'll forgive you this time." Kurt smiled and nodded, looking up at Blaine who looked completely overwhelmed and joyously happy.
"You want Papa to hold you for while?" Kurt asked Margaret, laughing when the baby gurgled softly and held out her arms as if to be taken. "I'll take that as a 'yes,'" Kurt stated as he carefully gave over his daughter.
"Oh Kurt," Blaine breathed, "She's perfect." Maggie was now looking up at Blaine as if he were some kind of alien creature, but she seemed to like him as she cooed softly.
"I have to admit I was a little worried about how she would take to you, she hasn't had much interaction with men, but apparently she knows who her parents are." Both men grinned and looked back at Maggie,
"You were meant to be our little girl weren't you?" Kurt asked her, brushing his fingers against her cheek tenderly. "So love at first sight just runs in this family huh?" he asked Blaine as they both knew they'd fallen madly in love with their daughter as quickly as they had each other.
"There is just a couple more papers for you to sign then you can head off and get your daughter settled in her new home." Katy said, smiling happily, she knew she'd been smart when she put the three of them together.
Once at home both of them had a hard time putting her down, they were both so smitten with their daughter who seemed just as transfixed by her fathers. She only fussed when she got hungry and Kurt fixed her organic formal they had picked up a few days earlier from the market. Katy hadn't been sure she would be able to stomach it, but if she didn't she had sent the kind of formula Maggie had been able to keep down so far just in case. Kurt fixed the formula to the perfect temperature and handed it to Blaine who was holding Maggie at the time. Maggie began to grumble when she saw the bottle and whimpered softly, Kurt looked at Blaine surprised that she could communicate exactly what she thought.
"You're a smart girl, Maggie," Blaine told her, but held the bottle to her mouth, she turned her mouth and fussed quietly. "Come on, sweetie, I know you don't like to feel bad, but maybe this won't hurt you. Can you be Papa's girl and give it a try." Maggie fussed a moment more but when her lips met the nipple she gave into instinct and started sucking. Kurt smiled softly as she seemed to be satisfied with what was in her bottle. "We'll have to wait and see if it stays down," Blaine reported, smiling at the baby in his arm. "I am with the two most beautiful people in the entire universe. I honestly don't know how I got this lucky," he whispered. Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine's lips affectionately,
"I hope I get to ask someone someday. I'm perfectly happy though just loving you two until the day I die," Kurt replied.
That night they decided cuddle time should now include Maggie. Blaine lay in their bed and Kurt put Maggie in the middle before lying next to her. She continued to watch her fathers carefully, even as her eyes drooped. They had figured she was scoping them out, making sure they wouldn't harm her before she fully trusted them.
"So, Princess," Kurt started, knowing that would officially be his nickname for Maggie, "What do you think of your dear old dads so far?" Maggie blinked slowly at Kurt as if to say, 'what do you think?' Kurt smiled and kissed her cheek gently, "Well I think my little girl is perfect." A small smile seem to come as Maggie's face as Kurt looked up at Blaine, both of them smiling at each other.
"We did it," Blaine stated. "We actually did it." Kurt chuckled looking down at Maggie who continued to watch her parents smiling softly.
"I wasn't sure we'd ever get here, honestly, but I'm so glad we did." The husbands shifted their bodies so that their foreheads were touching and Maggie was cocooned between them, their arms protectively over her and wrapped around each other. They stayed in silence for several minutes until they realized Maggie had fallen asleep.
"She's going to wake up hungry," Blaine whispered since Maggie hadn't had her nightly bottle. Kurt looked down at his daughter before smiling at Blaine,
"She's had a long day," Kurt replied, his eyes so full of love that Blaine couldn't help himself but kiss Kurt deeply. They pulled away quickly, not wanting to get too far with their daughter between them. "Good to know we haven't lost it," Kurt said, chuckling. Blaine rolled on his back, laughing happily before Kurt quickly shushed him. "Oh my God, you idiot," Kurt was still laughing though. Blaine flinched even though he was still grinning, before looking at Maggie who slept on.
"Come on lets put her in bed," Blaine suggested, moving to pick her up delicately as Kurt watched them affectionately. "What?" Blaine whispered once he had Maggie in his arms and realized Kurt was still staring at them.
"I could get used to seeing that everyday," he admitted, rising to follow.
"Well guess what," Blaine breathed, "You can." Kurt grinned and put his hands on Blaine's waist,
"I love you so much." Blaine turned so that Kurt's head was resting on his shoulder,
"I love you too, mon amour," Blaine responded. Kurt groaned softly,
"Oh Blaine, you know what it does to me when you speak French." Blaine smirked,
"Well it's your own fault, you taught it to me."
"It's gonna be my downfall too," Kurt stated, as he kissed Blaine's cheek tenderly. Blaine snorted as he leaned down to carefully put Maggie in her crib.
"I didn't know it was possible to be this happy." Blaine murmured, "I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies, tv and books." Kurt shook his head and rolled his eyes,
"Sometimes it amazes me that you aren't made of cheese." After turning on the baby monitor Blaine turned to him grabbing Kurt's hips,
"If I'm made of cheese will you be my macaroni?" Kurt froze before looking down at Blaine, cocking an eyebrow.
"Did you just...? No," Kurt pulled away from Blaine, trying to hide his smirk as he left the baby room. "No sex for you tonight," Blaine's eyes went wide as he quickly ran after Kurt.
"No, baby, I was… nnoooo," he whined. Kurt stripped quickly and jumped into bed not letting Blaine see that he was trying to laugh as Blaine got to his knees. "Baby, don't do this to me, I'm sorry I'm cheesy, I love you," Blaine began crawling up the bed, waiting to gauge if Kurt truly didn't want to have sex or if he was teasing him. It only took a moment for Blaine to feel Kurt relax when Blaine touched him over the covers and Blaine knew he was safe. "Kurt," Blaine whispered moving to kiss Kurt's hair before moving quickly to his ear, biting softly. "The macaroni is my favourite part of mac and cheese."
Kurt turned over,
"No one's favourite part of macaroni and cheese is the macaroni," he claimed. Blaine grinned sheepishly,
"Well does that mean I am your favourite?" he asked. Kurt smirked and shook his head,
"Nope," Blaine looked hurt for a moment so Kurt kissed him and rolled so that he was straddling his husband. "Maggie is," Kurt claimed. Blaine grinned as Kurt pulled his shirt off, "But you'll always be my favourite man." Blaine smirked,
"Well that's okay then."
I am so sorry if some of you (Meg) vomited at the utter cheesiness of this story. I couldn't help it! It just worked out that way. I hope you enjoyed it. The next chapter will be the last and I will get it up as soon as I can. Much love to everyone who has stuck with me Heart
