Thanks to danjackson for suggesting the name Dean and everyone else who suggested names in their reviews. It really does mean a lot that you take the time to read and review my story.
Disclaimer: I'm still not Ryan Murphy and therefore do not own glee :'(
Blaine and Kurt were gathered around the Anderson's dining table along with Blaine's parents and Cooper. Laughter rang out over the clinking of glasses and clattering of cutlery as Cooper cracked yet another joke at Blaine's expense causing him to duck his head. Kurt, choking on his laughter, gasped for air earning him a dirty look from Blaine, "You could defend me you know. After all, I am your husband."
"The best one I could ever ask for," Kurt said lovingly. He leant over to kiss Blaine chastely yet sweetly on the cheek. "But that doesn't mean Cooper's stories arent funny. You never mentioned you got stuck in the toilet when you were younger," Kurt continued to chuckle.
"And I wonder why," Blaine rolled his eyes. "It's not exactly a great conversation starter."
"He also used to be scared of mall Santa's," Cooper chimed in, shifting in his seat to avoid Blaine's kick which was aimed at his shin. "He used to scream and run away and even when he was 12 he would still hide behind Mom's back and refuse to go anywhere near the Santa." Everyone erupted into another fit of giggles.
"All our relatives would always ask why Cooper was the only one on the front of the Christmas card," Pam added earning a groan from Blaine. Once everyone had regained their composure Pam continued, "So, do you boys have any big upcoming plans in New York?"
Blaine reached for Kurt's hand with shaky fingers and took a deep breath. "Actually, Mom, Dad, Kurt and I have something important to tell you that we wanted to talk to you about in person." Pam shot a worried glance in Dean's direction, who continued to look as professional and unphased as ever.
"It's nothing bad," he quickly clarified. "In fact it's one of the happiest things that has ever happened to me. And I hope you'll be just as happy as I am because your opinion means a lot to me." Blaine paused and bit his lip to try to control his shaking.
"Spit it out," Dean demanded. "We'll support you no matter what. I know we haven't always been there in the past but we are now and it's going to stay that way."
Blaine's eyes welled with tears. "Thank you, that means a lot." Kurt smiled and squeezed Blaine's hand, grateful that Blaine wouldn't have to go through the pain of losing his parents again.
Blaine took a deep breath, before slowly releasing it as though preparing for his execution despite his father's reassurance. "Kurt and I are having a baby."
Instantly the room froze, movement ceased and time itself ticked to a stop. Cooper's eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets, Pam's hand was clasped over her mouth and Dean looked, for what may have been the first time in his life, completely lost.
With an air of triumph and childish glee Cooper turned to stare Blaine directly in the eyes. In a fashion which distinctly resembled a showdown from a Western, Cooper rose slowly from his seat. "I can't wait to meet the baby! I bet their running out of womb." Cooper cracked up at his own joke as he walked around the table to pull a stunned Blaine into a hug and tousle his hair. "Keep in mind you're destined to fail, no matter how well you raise your kid German kids will be kinder."
Kurt snorted as Cooper pulled him into the group hug. "Remind me to never leave you alone with them."
"Son?" the group paused their celebrations to turn towards Dean who had a single tear streaking down his face. "I'm really glad for you. You deserve a family, perhaps more than most people do. You too Kurt. I speak for both of us when I say I really hope we get to be a part of the kid's life. I know we've made mistakes in the past and that hurtful things have been said, particularly by me. I was wrong. You are a proper family. Who you love isn't going to stop you from being able to care for a child. In fact it will only make you more open and understanding and save you from making the mistakes I have."
"Of course you can see them," Blaine sobbed into his fathers arms. His mother wiped away his tears and kissed him on the head.
"Not to be rude, but ummm, how..." Pam trailed off uncertainly searching for the words she couldn't find.
Kurt spoke for Blaine who was still in tears. "You know Rachel Berry?"
"The Jewish one from high school who's on Broadway?"
"Yeah, that's the one," Kurt confirmed. "She offered to carry the child for us. She was inseminated with Blaine's sperm a couple days ago. Biologically the child only belongs to Blaine but legally and practically they'll be ours. After the child's born Rachel won't have anything to do with raising it."
"Did Blaine and Rachel have to have sex?" Cooper questioned, his face furrowed in bewilderment. Blaine gagged and Kurt burst into the sort of laughter that leaves your sides aching long after you've stopped.
"Absolutely not," Blaine exclaimed twice as loud as neccessary. "A doctor inseminated her at the hospital with medical equipment."
"Do you know the gender of the child?" Cooper asked, appearing somewhat relieved. Kurt stared at him incredulously meanwhile Blaine simply rolled his eyes.
"The babies only a couple days old. We probably will choose to find out as soon as we can but it'll be a couple months." Cooper grinned mischievously and everyone groaned internally having immediately recognizing the implications of the expression.
"I guess you could say you have a strong sex appeal then!"

I hope this chapter turned out okay. I had a lot of trouble writing it. If you have any ideas for chapters you'd like to see in the future please leave a review. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Reviews only take a second but they put a smile on my face and make the time it takes to write this worthwhile so please feel free to review.
