Enjoy! Sorry it's so short-I'll try and post something longer tomorrow :D xxx
"Good morning!" a voice chirped-as someone kissed him on the forehead. Kurt jumped-the cobwebs of sleep abruptly falling away as his eyes snapped open and awakeness poured into his brain unpleasantly…as he saw Blaine's grinning face hovering above his own in the half-light.
"Blaine!" he said, trying to sound annoyed-but it just came out as a croak. "What are you doing? I thought I made it very clear that he who wakes me up dies slow and painfully…"
"But today's a special day!" Blaine announced happily, still smiling a mile wide as he kissed him on both cheeks.
"What?" Kurt's brain was still fuzzy from sleep.
Blaine's grin stretched even more. "Well…somebody very special is officially six months pregnant today!"
Kurt frowned…then remembered. "Oh!"
"Yeah, just a little thing like that," Blaine smiled, sitting on the bed and putting his hands carefully either side of Kurt's ever-growing baby bump. "I can't believe it!" he said happily. "In three months…"
"I know…" Kurt felt a little knocked out. There really wasn't that long left at all…Wow…
"It's fantastic!" Blaine beamed, kissing Kurt's stomach tenderly. "Wow…you hear that, princess?" he said, leaning his head on Kurt's chest, hands gently stroking the baby bump. "Not long now, hey? Then I'll get to give you your very first cuddle…"
Kurt felt a warm glow inside as Blaine chatted away to the baby. He stroked Blaine's hair, smiling, all sleep cleared away. It really wasn't long now until they'd have their little girl in their arms…Kurt looked at the photograph from the other day at the doctor's. She was absolutely perfect-the most beautiful thing Kurt had ever seen. So peaceful, all little and curled up small…
"We've much to do together, angel, when you arrive," Blaine was saying, kissing Kurt's stomach again. "I'm going to take you to all my favourite places…We'll go for walks in the park…and to the seaside one day…we'll read books, and sing songs…and anything else-anything we want to do…and when you're tucked up all cosy in bed, I'm going to read you Harry Potter every night until Kurt is sick to death of it…and it's going to be amazing. You know what, princess? I can't think of anything more amazing that I could possibly do-than be your daddy…"
…

"Hey, Blaine," Finn slumped into the kitchen, dumping his bag on the table and stretching-when a beautiful, incredible, heavenly smell filled his nostrils… And sure enough: "Blaine! Blaine! Oh my God, is that…in the microwave…is that…popcorn?"
He said the word like it meant "Angel" "Paradise" "Beauty" and "Rowling" all in one. Blaine snickered slightly as his boyfriend's brother stared into the microwave at the bag of popping seeds like it had just fallen from the heavens in a ball of golden light.
"Yep. Don't worry-I bought a spare bag for you, in case-"
But before he could finish his sentence-Finn had scooped him up in a bear-hug that almost winded him. "You are the best brother's-boyfriend ever!"
"Hey, hey!" Blaine wheezed, trying to breathe. "It's only popcorn,"
"Only popcorn!" Finn looked at him like he was insane. "It is the food of heroes and gods!"
"Okay, okay!" Blaine sniggered. "Put me down, and I'll put it on for you when this one's done,"
"You really are the best brother's-boyfriend ever," Finn said gratefully, setting him back on his feet.
"Really?" Blaine was pleased-but wary.
"Well…you know. You bring me food, which is great. But you're a good guy and stuff too…" He awkwardly clapped him on the shoulder. "You know-to come out of that gene-pool, if you don't mind me saying…you're pretty great,"
Blaine was touched. "Oh! Urm…thanks, man,"
"Yeah…" Finn clapped him again, almost knocking him backwards. "Well…"
"Uh…"
"Urm…"
"So…"
An awkward silence passed between them.
"Can I have my food now?"
...
After sorting Finn out, Blaine retrieved his popcorn bowl and, leaving Finn anxiously watching the bag pop, he left the room. "Hey, babe!" Blaine carried the bowl, brimming with popcorn, through to the living room, where he knew he'd left Kurt curled up on the couch, DVD balanced between the bowl and his chest. "Now-I know you think I'm totally sad-but we should totally watch Mulan! I mean, what could possibly be better on a Friday night than watching a movie aimed at kids half our age? But lets face it-you're never too old for Disney! And let's face it-Lea Salonga is the best singer, like, ever! I mean, she's been in both the Les Mis concerts, done a ton of other musicals including Annie and was the original Kim in Miss Saigon-not to mention being an official Disney legend and loving video games-I mean, I think, if I was straight…Kurt?"
All of a sudden…a horrible feeling shot through Blaine's body as he saw Kurt's face.
It was covered with tear tracks, with many more drops falling rapidly onto his arms, which were folded tightly around his stomach.
"…Kurt?" Dropping the DVD and popcorn onto the coffee table, not caring that it spilled, Blaine rushed to his side. "Kurt, what's wrong?"
Kurt couldn't seem to answer. His mobile was clutched tightly in one hand-it wasn't locked. So he'd been using it recently. But he looked like he'd been crying for a long time…
"Kurt?" Blaine asked urgently. He tried to take his hands-they were freezing cold and shaking under his fingers. "Kurt? Talk to me? Please?"
A silence. One of the longest of Blaine's life as he anxiously waited, dread pouring into his heart like molten lava.
A pause. A whimper. Then…
Slowly, Kurt opened his mouth. "It's…it's…oh my God, Blaine, I-I-it's…it's the baby!"
An icy dagger plunged into Blaine's soul, turning every cell in his body ice cold and numb. He felt as if he had been thrown into the Antarctic ocean, ice caps penetrating his whole being, blocking out sound from his ears.
"…Kurt…" His voice did not feel like his own. It was as if he was in an alternate reality, watching this happen to somebody else…
This could not be happening.
Kurt couldn't have said those words.
No.
No, please.
"…Kurt?" he tried again, gripping his hands tighter. "W-what's wrong with-"
"No!" Kurt shook his head, tears falling faster and faster. "Not-not ours…"
In that moment, Blaine felt as if he had been pulled to the surface of the deepest lake in the world, able to breathe again…then was immediately smothered with confusion.
"Then what-"
"It's-it's Daisy!" Kurt choked out, looking both terrified and devastated. He could barely say the words. "She-she l-lost her baby!"
