CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
"Okay, so the gifts go on that table, the food on that table and the cakes are being put on the table in the corner." Quinn said pointing to various tables around the room.
Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana were all standing in the function room of Breadsticks. There were two long tables in the center of the room that had been pushed together. There were yellow roses in the center of the table. The table had been adorned with little white cradles filled with blue and pink candy, there were two large balloon trees on either side of the present table, one blue and one pink, Quinn had made a banner out of diapers that said 'Kurt's baby shower' in alternating blue and pink letters.
"Mercedes give me a time check?" Quinn said reorganizing the roses for the seventh time.
"We have 5 minutes until the cakes arrive, 15 minuets until the guest get here and 30 minutes until Blaine arrives with Kurt." Mercedes said looking at her phone.
Quinn started to looked panicked, she ran over to the present table and started to rearrange the presents.
"Quinn, calm down." Santana said patting her friend on the back.
"Okay, do we have the place cards for baby shower bingo?" Quinn asked looking around the room.
"Yes, and we have the bottles for baby bowling, and the nappies for guess that candy." Mercedes said looking around the room.
Quinn let out a sigh.
"It's okay; he is going to love it." Santana said prying a gift out of Quinn's hand and putting it back on the table.
Just then the baker walked into the room holding two large boxes.
"The cakes go over there in there." Quinn said pointing to a decorated table in the corner.
The baker set down the boxes and put both of the two identical cakes on the table.
"So which is which?" Quinn said looking at the seemingly identical cakes.
"The one with the flower on the top is the yellow and the one with the baby on the top will reveal the gender." The baker said pointing to the top of each cake.
"Thank you." Quinn said as she tipped the man as he left.
When Quinn turned around she saw Mercedes and Santana hovering around the cake with the baby on top.
"Hey, back away from the cake." Quinn said to the two girls.
"Aw come on Quinn, you know you want to know the sex of the baby." Santana said looking at the cake longingly.
"No, we have to wait for Kurt, if he doesn't want to know then no one will. That is why we have the second cake." Quinn said pointing to the two cakes.
"Just a little peek," Mercedes pleaded.
"No!" Quinn said crossing her arms.
The other two girls looked disappointed but Quinn wouldn't budge.
For the next few minutes Santana folded napkins, Mercedes finished organizing the flowers, and Quinn paced.
The quests started to file in; Mike and Tina were first shortly followed by Puck, Finn, Burt, Carole, Brittany, Rachel, Artie and Sam. They had also invited Anna from the hospital and David and Wes from Dalton.
All of the people were talking when Quinn, who had her ear pressed to the door listening for any sign of Kurt or Blaine started to tell them to be quiet.
"Blaine this is so stupid, I don't see why we have to be seated in a private booth. It's because I'm pregnant isn't it? It is the miracle of life you jerk." Everyone could hear Kurt yell through the door.
"Kurt calm down, they are obviously busy." Blaine said.
"I am so going to give the jerk a piece of my mind, Blaine give me your phone I am going to call the civil rights union." Kurt said sounding angry.
"Hormones," Puck said causing a few people in the group to laugh.
"Shhh," Quinn insisted. "Everybody get into positions." Quinn said shooing people away from the door.
"Kurt why don't we just sit down," Blaine said trying to calm Kurt down.
"Not my fault that they think my water is going to break all over the precious carpet." Kurt said which caused a few giggles form the people hiding in the function room.
"Hey, you are only six and a half month pregnant; there will be no breaking of any water for at least another two and a half months." Blaine said.
"Damn straight," Anna whispered form her hiding spot behind the couch.
"Great, the door is not even open, what kind of restaurant are these jerks running." Kurt said angrily sounding closer to the door.
"Come on Kurt, I am sure we can open a door." Blaine said turning the handle.
The door opened and everyone yelled 'surprise!' but Kurt was not at the door.
"Blaine!" Quinn screamed, "Where is Kurt?"
"He is right-" Blaine turn his head just noticing his fiancé was not beside him, "Oh crap."
Blaine looked around Breadsticks and saw Kurt was facing the other way about two meters back tying up his shoelace. Kurt turned around to see into the conference room, all of his friends and family were staring at him with a look of confusion.
"Uh, surprise." Finn said weakly.
"Aw man, that sucked, lets do it again. On the count of three, one , two, three." Puck said while signaling the numbers on his fingers.
"Surprise!" The group yelled in unison.
Blaine walked over to Kurt who looked a little confused. "I don't get it, it's not my birthday." He then noticed the banner and the little cradles on the table. "A baby shower?" Kurt questioned.
"Surprise." Quinn said clapping her hands together. Kurt let out a smile before turning his attention to Blaine. "You knew about this." Kurt said hitting him on the chest.
"Yeah" Blaine said sheepishly.
"And you didn't tell me?" Kurt said placing his hands on his hips.
"It was a surprise baby shower." Blaine said defensively.
Quinn ran foreword and pulled Kurt to his seat at the head of the table before he had the chance to give Blaine an earful.
Quinn was busily showing Kurt the menu while Blaine walked over to Puck.
"Hang in there man." Puck said putting an arm around Blaine.
"I don't know if I can last for another two and a half months." Blaine said rubbing his forehead.
"I know where you are coming from, and I am sorry to saythat it's going to get worse." Puck said with a little grin.
"How?" Blaine looked scared.
"Let me put it this way, towards the end of her pregnancy, Quinn yelled at me for wearing pants, she said I was killing sperm, and then she cried at the thought of all the dead babies." Puck said shaking his head at the memory.
Blaine gulped loudly. He then noticed Kurt was crying at all of the little cradles.
"Please tell me he is not crying again?" Blaine said looking at his now sobbing fiancé.
"How often does he do that?" Puck questioned.
"This is the third time today." Blaine said looking at his watch.
All conversations and crying was haltered by the waiters bringing in platters of food. There was crust-less sandwiches, mini-quiches, baby back ribs, pigs-in-blankets and a tray of baby vegetables and dip.
Blaine took a seat next to Kurt and everyone else sat behind there name, Quinn had made little place cards for everyone. Everyone talked about baby names and who was going to be on baby sitting duty throughout lunch
"Baby Shower Bingo" Quinn said holding up little cards. "So instead of B-I-N-G-O it is B-A-B-Y. So the way that this works is, all of the spaces on the card are empty, everyone write was you think the presents are going to be in the little squares, for example you could write, 'Diapers' or 'stuffed animal'. We will mark them off after each present Kurt opens and the first person to get 4 in a row wins." Quinn said as she busily handed out the cards, pens and stamps.
"Oh, I am so going to win this, I helped pick out half the presents." Carole said sounding excited.
"That maybe so, but I wrapped half of them." Mercedes said with a grin.
"Okay who wants to give Kurt the first present?" Quinn said walking over to the present table.
"I will," Puck said jumping up from his seat. He ran over to the present table and picked up a rather large box that was wrapped in paper with little cranes on it.
"Here you go dude." Puck said handing the box to Kurt.
"Thanks Puck," Kurt said as he carefully opened the corners being careful not to tare the paper.
"Just rip it Kurt." Puck said teasingly.
"Fine," Kurt said as he ripped a huge section of paper. "Diapers, good choice Puck." Kurt said with a smile as he handed the box to Blaine.
"Okay so everyone who wrote down diapers on their card, stamp it off." Quinn instructed the group.
"Mine next, mine next." Mercedes said practically jumping out of her seat. She ran over and grabbed a large present that was kind of oval-like in shape.
Mercedes gave it to Kurt and kissed him of the cheek. Kurt ripped open the paper to reveal a pile of presents nestled inside a baby bath. It was all themed in yellow and white, the tub was filled with baby clothes, there was also a rubber duck, a yellow teddy bear, a baby shampoo, bottles, nappies and a pacifier all yellow and white.
Kurt began to get a little teary at the sight of the beautifully created gift. "Oh, Mercedes," Kurt said pulling her in for a hug. The group aww'ed at the best friends hugging.
The sweet moment was ruined by Puck's voice. "Hey Quinn, how do we mark that thing off on our bingo card." Puck said waving his card in the air.
"Way to ruin the moment Puck," Mercedes shot back.
"Well I don't know what that thing is called." Puck said pointing to the mound of presents.
"Just put it under, bath." Quinn said looking at the present.
Kurt frantically wiped away his tears and coughed a little trying to disguise the fact that he was crying. Mercedes kissed him on the cheek and then patted his stomach.
"Okay who is next?" Quinn said trying to get the party to keep moving.
"Me!" Finn shouted as he jumped from his chair. "Well technically it is from Burt, me and mom but-" Finn said as he shrugged and handed Kurt a small envelope.
Kurt took the envelope and looked at it strangely. Burt and Carole were grinning from ear to ear. Kurt undid the envelope and three small photos fell out on to the table. Kurt picked them up and began to look intently at the photos; he saw a small white room that was decorated with accents of yellow, inside the room was a cradle, a change table, draws, a shelving unit, a white rug, a big white rocking chair and a huge white teddy bear. The pictures looked straight out of a catalog, Kurt didn't quite understand.
"I don't get it?" Kurt said looking at the pictures.
"You know mine and Carole's office?" Burt said looking at his wife.
"The small room next to ours?" Kurt questioned.
Burt nodded and he pointed to the pictures. Kurt looked confused for a second until he understood perfectly. They had converted the office into a nursery. Once again the tears started to flow and Kurt jumped out of his seat and ran over to his parents, puling Burt in for a hug with one arm and Carole with the other. The three hugged for a moment, both Carole and Kurt were crying.
"Hey, where is my love? I painted the walls and built all the furniture, and let me say one thing. IKEA furniture, not that simple to build." Finn said with a smile. Kurt left his parents and ran over to where Finn was standing. Kurt looked at him for a second before clinging to his brother. Kurt had tears streaming down his face as he hugged Finn tighter. Finn wrapped his arms around Kurt and patted him on the back.
"Finn, you are the best brother ever." Kurt said burying his head into Finn's chest. By this time every girl in the room was now crying or about to cry.
The Kodak moment was ruined once again by Puck.
"Quinn, Quinn what do we put this down as? Quinn!" Puck yelled waving his card in the air.
"Shut it Puckerman." Quinn said wiping away her tears. "Do you have no emotions?" Quinn spat out.
"Apparently not," Puck said looking around the room at all the sniveling girls. "So what do we put that down as anyway? Photo or room or nursery or what?"
"Do you even have any of those options?" Quinn said looking confused.
"No" Puck replied.
"So why does it matter." Quinn asked.
"Hey it is your game, not mine." Puck said with a shrug.
"Fine, put that one down as nursery." Quinn said shaking her head.
Kurt had now dragged Finn back with him and Kurt was sitting on his original seat with Finn right next to him and Blaine on the other side.
"Okay me next." Santana said grabbing a gift of the table.
Kurt opened the present to reveal a small stuffed owl with a little bonnet on.
"Thank you Santana" Kurt said smiling at the present.
Brittney went next, she gave Kurt a pack of two onesies one in white and the other was a mint green. Then Artie gave Kurt a silver Tiffany rattle. Just as Kurt gave Artie a hug, Sam's voice rang through the room.
"Oh yeah, I won!" Sam said jumping out of his seat waving his card in the air.
Quinn handing him his prize, a bag of candy and Kurt continued to open presents.
8 onesies, 6 outfits, 4 blankets, 2 rattles, 2 packages of 100 diapers, 1 stuffed owl, 1 baby monitor, 2 teddy bears, 1 bath, and 1 complete nursery later all of the presents were open. The boys had gotten bored half way though and had been playing baby bottle bowling.
Now everyone was gathered in a circle playing name that candy which involved placing melted candy bars into a diaper and making people guess which candy it was.
"Quinn this is gross." Tina said looking at the brown mess inside one of the diapers.
"I think my baby got into the peanuts" Sam said poking his diaper.
"Well mine got into the coconut." Finn said scrunching his face up.
"I don't know what happened to mine, but that is a sick baby." Artie said staring into the diaper.
Puck and Mercedes ended up both getting all of the chocolates correct, the prize was that they got to eat whatever was in the diapers. Mercedes turned up her nose as Puck started to eat the diaper he
Now was the part of the shower everyone had been looking forward too.
"Time to cut the cake," Quinn announced. Kurt stood-up and walked towards the table with the two cakes.
"Quinn why are there two." Kurt said pointing at the identical cakes.
"Well," Quinn smiled. "If you cut into one of the cakes it will either have blue or pink cake inside to indicate weather little Peanut is a boy or a girl. But if you still want it to be a surprise, the other cake has yellow cake inside." Quinn said handing Kurt the knife.
"Do you want to know?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"I am leaving it up to you sweetie." Blaine said with a smile.
"Okay, I want to know." Kurt said excitedly. "But you have to cut it with me." Kurt said to his fiancé.
"If you're sure," Blaine said placing his hand around Kurt's hand that was holding the knife.
"Quinn, which is one that will reveal the sex?" Kurt asked looking at the cakes.
"The one with the baby on top." Quinn replied while pointing to the cake on the left.
"On the count of three" Blaine said putting the knife on top of the cake.
"One" Blaine said with a smile.
"Two" Kurt said looking at Blaine with his bright blue eyes.
"Three" They said together as the plunged the knife into the white icing.
Kurt let out a small squeal and Blaine had a huge grin.
"What?" Quinn said in anticipation.
"Tell us," Mercedes said leaning in closer.
"Come on boys, who won the bet?" Puck said looking at the notepad with everyone's bets written on it.
"Well?" Burt said looking very excited.
"Do you want to tell them or should I?" Blaine said with a huge smile.
"I don't know." Kurt practically squeezed.
"You do it." Blaine said nudging Kurt a little.
"No you do it." Kurt said nudging Blaine back.
"For god sakes someone tell us." Artie said getting impatient.
"Come on, stop keeping us in suspense." Sam said getting antsy.
"Okay we'll do it together." Kurt said looking at Blaine.
"Ready?" Blaine asked.
"Ready." Kurt confirmed.
"One" Blaine said.
"Two" The rest of the group said in unison.
"Hurry up." Puck stressed.
"Three!" Kurt and Blaine yelled as they grabbed a piece of the cake and waved it around.
"We got a Girl!" They both yelled as the group marveled at the pink interior of the cake.
"Hell yes I won." Puck screamed. "Suck on that Artie." Puck said grabbing the piece of cake and throwing it at Artie.
"Cough-up Carole." Burt said elbowing his wife.
"Damn, I owe Mallory $20" Anna said shaking her head.
Blaine and Kurt just looked at each other and laughed.
"Okay who wants cake?" Kurt said holding up the knife.
"I think I'm good thanks" Artie said wiping some of the icing off his glasses.
The whole room erupted into laughter. Blaine grabbed a small piece of cake and fed Kurt it.
"So now all you have to do is come up with a name." Quinn said with a huge smile.
A/N Looking for Baby Names people. Taking any suggestions then I will pick a top three and everyone can vote for the name that they like the best :-)
Thanks to Snape-Ruless44 for being an Epic Beta.
The fabulous idea of the cake to reveal the baby's gender belongs to Zoe.
Syaoran-Lover – The reason no one was aloud in was just Blaine and Finn's over-protectiveness and I knew Mr. Shue should have been looking after Kurt but then you wouldn't have had the brotherly love
xLil' Suga Babyx – I like your suggestion but I already have the birth planned and I can't quite add you idea in. I will defiantly consider the others though :-) Thanks for the idea and long review
Shinigami-san – Wow I can't believe you are reading from Argentina. Hello from Australia :-)
