"Hello," Kurt greeted as he answered his ringing cellphone. "This is Kurt Hummel-Anderson speaking."
"Hi, this is Chelsea calling on behalf of the fertility clinic." Kurt paused for a brief moment before he replied to the woman on the other side of the call.
"Sorry, can you just hold on one second while I get my husband. Kurt lowered the phone and walked briskly to the kitchen where Blaine was working. "Blaine, hey Blaine," Kurt shook his shoulder to gather his attention. "It's the fertility clinic calling; I'm putting it on speaker." Blaine nodded breathlessly, immediatley forgetting the task he had been occupied with mere seconds ago.
"Hello? Yes, you're good to continue now." Kurt was bouncing up and down in anticipation and nerves meanwhile Blaine looked like he had become a statue.
"I was just calling about your surrogate's test results." Kurt and Blaine's eyes locked in an intense gaze. Their eyes were filled with hope, but also unspoken fears and doubts. "All of the test results came back without any cause for concern." At this both men released a strangled breath in unision. It looked like a weight had been taken off their shoulders as they sat a little staighter in their seats. "The next step is for your surrogate to be tested on all the neccessary medication to see how she reacts. Doctor Anne Montgomery would like to meet with you and Mrs. Rachel Berry again. You should receive an email in the next couple of days concerning this. Please ensure you respond to it as soon as possible."
"Of course. Thank you for calling."
"Good day." The phone beeped softly when the call ended. Both men stared at it for a moment in complete disbelief. It was as if time had stopped temporarily.
Kurt laughed heartily when Blaine pulled him into a bear hug breaking the stillness and silence that had settled over the room. Pure happiness coursed through their veins. In between bouts of 'I love you's and 'I'm so happy's they smothered one another in tender kisses.
All of a sudden Blaine pulled back and bit his lip. "We have a problem. We need to decide who's going to be the biological father."
"I think it should be you," Kurt said without hesitation. "You always thought you wouldn't get to be a parent. You're going to love and care for this child and I want them to be yours. I want a little piece of you in my child." Kurt wasn't quite sure when he had come to this conclusion but he knew he wanted Blaine to be the father. Blaine stated at him adoringly; what had he ever done in his life to deserve such a man. He looked so hopelessly in love that Kurt didn't even complain when Blaine cupped his face, mussing up his hair in the process.
"Well I disagree," Blaine stated while he smiled at his beloved. "I think you should be the father. I want our child to be beautiful and smart and funny just like you. I want them to have your nose and your absolutely adorable grin." Blaine couldn't help but smile at the thought. "I want this child to be all yours." Kurt's eyes brimmed with tears and he placed his hand delicately on Blaine's chest.
"But Blaine honey, it doesn't mean anything to me whether or not the child is mine biologically. No matter what they will be the most beautiful thing in the world to me and I'll love them just the same. I couldn't care less if they had a monkey's DNA so long as they're mine. So long as they're ours." Blaine stared at Kurt before bursting into laughter.
"What?" Kurt demanded indignantly. "I don't see why you're laughing."
"Don't you see?" Blaine sported a goofy grin. "Both of us want the other to have this so it can be a special thing for them but neither of us actually care if we have it." Kurt now appeared equally amused at the situation. "We both just want a child and it doesn't matter who the father is."
"Well how are we going to decide who it will be then?" Kurt stared at his husband blankly. Suddenly Blaine's face lit up; Kurt was certain that if this was a cartoon there would be a lightbulb hovering over his husband's head. Blaine grabbed something out of a cupboard and held it behind his back, hidden from view.
"I have an idea but first I have to be sure. You promise that you don't have any preference as to who it is? And that you won't be even a little upset if it is or isn't you?" Kurt nodded and Blaine looked satisfied with his response. He moved his hand out from behind his back to reveal two straws clasped tightly in it. "Then pick a straw! Whoever has the shorter one will be the biological father."
"It's perfect," giggled Kurt as he kissed him on the cheek. "We'll let Lady Luck decide for us." Kurt closed his eyes and slowly extracted a straw from his husband's clenched fist. Blaine unfurled his hand; his straw was shorter by about an inch.
Blaine looked elated until a realisation washed over him. He groaned and palmed himself in the face. "Are you okay?" Kurt looked deeply concerned and worried.
"Kurt," Blaine groaned. "What if the child inherits my hair?" At that moment Kurt couldn't think to do anything but laugh so hard his stomach ached and tears ran down his cheeks.

Thankyou to everyone who recommended Blaine be the father. I have no idea how I could have decided without you. Please leave a review as it helps me to grow as a writer and also leaves a smile on my face!
