Blaine leaned back against his husband, resting his hands on top of Kurt's and looking up at the sky. It was freezing, likely to snow that night, but Blaine and Kurt didn't have a lot of time to just be together lately. They had thought they were prepared to have a newborn but it was harder than either of them had imagined. Neither would change it for the world but they tended to sleep whenever they could nowadays.

"Sometimes I miss being able to see the stars in the sky," Kurt murmured, his chin resting on Blaine's shoulder as he tangled their fingers together.

"What? You don't like just seeing brake lights and skyscrapers when you look outside at night?" Blaine teased, yawning and tilting his head against Kurt's. He was tired and he knew they would be going inside soon but both seemed to be prolonging as much as they could, not wanting vacation to be one day closer to over. Blaine just hoped Audrey wouldn't wake up as soon as they went inside so they could get some sleep.

Kurt laughed softly, shaking his head and squeezing Blaine's hand. "I mean, yes, I do," Kurt said honestly which didn't surprise Blaine. The two were meant to be in New York and thrived there. Now that they'd both found their place, it was their home and would be for at least the next few decades, if not for the rest of their lives. "But I miss the stars. It's probably the only thing I miss about Ohio. Do you ever miss it?"

"Skyscraper lights?" Blaine asked tiredly, curling up a little bit against Kurt and feeling his husband shift to accommodate him, holding him closer to try to keep the chill away.

A quick kiss on his cheek and then Kurt was shaking his head. "No. Ohio. Do you miss Ohio? You moved here when we broke up, moved in with Dave. Was this someplace you wanted to live?"

Blaine wrinkled his nose, pulling Kurt's arms a little tighter around himself. It wasn't that he tried to pretend those few months hadn't existed but he didn't like thinking of them. Those experiences were part of their relationship and he knew they'd both needed that opportunity to grow, but he wished things had been different. "I moved in with Dave because I was upset and wanted to be close to somebody when all I wanted is you, first of all. We've talked about this. I never planned on staying in Ohio. I had already applied for NYU. I wanted to go back to New York. I've always wanted to be there," Blaine said quietly. "Why would I want to be in Ohio? I hate Ohio. I'd hate to raise kids here."

Even when they'd been broken up, every time, Blaine had always planned on being in New York.

"Just making sure," Kurt murmured, tapping his fingers against Blaine's in a way that he did when he was feeling somewhat nervous about what he was saying. It was something endearing, especially because Blaine appreciated that they could continue the conversation instead of running away from things the way they might have when they were teenagers. "Being here just makes me wonder if New York City is where we want to be forever."

Blaine frowned, pulling away from Kurt so he could look at him, immediately regretting it when the cool air hit him. "Do you miss Ohio? Do you want to live here because I mean… I don't really want to raise our kids here but I suppose we can talk about it. Maybe Cleveland instead of Lima, at least. We'd still be close to-"

"I don't want to live in Ohio, Blaine, don't worry," Kurt said with a shake of his head and a little grin, tugging Blaine back towards his body. Blaine went willingly, although he stayed far enough away that they could still look at each other. "I still want to live in New York. I was just thinking about my childhood home. I love this house but moving in my teens because our house was tiny wasn't very fun. And you grew up in the house your parents are still at."

"Yes…" Blaine said slowly, not quite sure where Kurt was going with this.

The indulgent smile Kurt was wearing was rather adorable and Blaine couldn't resist leaning forward to kiss him. "I think we should buy a house. I like our apartment, I do. It's home and has been for a while. But I want somewhere we can paint the walls and know our kids will grow up there."

Blaine couldn't deny the idea sounded nice. They'd talked about buying a home when Kurt had graduated and again when Blaine had but they'd decided they liked their apartment. They'd been living there ever since they'd returned to New York, newly married and ready to start a life together again. The idea of moving again, starting over in some ways, scared Blaine. But then, he supposed he'd been learning to deal with a lot of fears lately, especially since Audrey had been born.

"We could paint the ceiling to look like stars. There will still be sirens and cars hoking but it'll kind of look like this," Blaine said, already able to picture it. Between the two of them, Kurt was the designer and was generally the one with the great ideas but they'd learned to compromise since their first time living together. "Or, ooh, those glow in the dark stickers."

Kurt wrinkled his nose, although he looked more amused than anything. "Did you have those glow in the dark stars when you were younger?"

"Until Cooper and I got in a fight and he stood on a chair and tore most of them off my ceiling," Blaine said with a shrug, reluctantly standing up and holding out his hand for Kurt. The cold was starting to get to him and, judging by the speed in which Kurt took his hand, it was getting to his husband as well. Blaine reached down to grab the baby monitor they'd set outside with them before they quietly headed inside.

They were the only two awake, although they were sure Audrey was going to be waking up anytime. She'd had a hard time falling asleep in a new place and Blaine and Kurt had both walked with her, bounced her, sang to her, and finally laid with her to hold her while she'd cried from frustrated exhaustion. At least they hadn't seemed to disturb Burt and Carole, who'd gone to bed earlier.

Once they reached the guest bedroom, Kurt peeked into the bassinet to make sure that Audrey was still sound asleep before grabbing his pajamas to join Blaine in the bathroom to change.

"Of course, you did. And of course, Cooper did," Kurt said, continuing the conversation they'd been having as he undressed. He yawned, rubbing his eyes as he hoped his father wouldn't wake them up early the next morning in some weird Christmas morning tradition. When Audrey inevitably woke up would be early enough. "I imagine Audrey will want to choose her own decorations as she gets older. We have time. I'd just like to get settled, not move again. We've done enough of that to last me a lifetime."

Blaine nodded as he brushed his teeth, unwilling to think about their daughter growing up. When he was done, he leaned against the counter, yawning and watching as Kurt grabbed his own toothbrush. "We can look into it when we get home. No use dwelling on it now. I'd much rather enjoy our vacation."

"The prospect of buying a house isn't your idea of a relaxing vacation? I suppose that's just because I'm older than you," Kurt teased, giving his husband a smirk in the mirror.

Unable to think of a witty response with how tired he was, Blaine just smiled, looping his arms around Kurt from behind and resting his cheek against Kurt's back. With his free hand, Kurt rested his on top of Blaine's and caressed Blaine's skin with his thumb. Blaine stayed like that until Kurt was done brushing his teeth, pressing a kiss to Kurt's back when Kurt put away his toothbrush.

"Come on, love. Let's see if we can get a little sleep before Audrey wakes up again," Kurt whispered, tangling their fingers as they headed towards the bed.

They laid down together with Kurt on his back, tugging Blaine over him. There was silence for a few moments as they adjusted themselves, pulling the blankets over to get warm and comfortable.

"We could get some glow in the dark stickers that look like skyscrapers and brake lights instead," Blaine whispered as he settled against his husband's chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart under his cheek. There was nothing quite as comforting to Blaine as the feeling of being pressed against Kurt, knowing they were together, in love. It was cheesy but Blaine supposed the Christmas holiday was the best time to be cheesy.

Kurt chuckled quietly underneath him, twirling his fingers in Blaine's curls. "You are-" Whatever he was about to say was interrupted by the sound of their daughter start crying. Blaine sighed and Kurt smiled. "For that remark, you can get up for her, Mr. Hummel-Anderson."

"Well, when you put it like that…" Blaine teased, leaning up to kiss Kurt sweetly before standing up to walk towards the bassinet.
