"Welcome back, now before the break we were talking about fashion, and the founder, designer and owner of the fashion company, Hummelbird, Kurt Hummel himself is in the studio with us today. The top of the line fashion trends, 'Storm' and 'Baby' are big hits now, all across America, and now the line is taking off overseas, his amazing designs are incredible. He was also, the same well known Kurt Hummel, the carrier who stood up to his oppressor in a coffee shop, years ago. Please welcome to the stage, Mr Kurt Hummel."
The audience stood and cheered as Kurt walked on set, and he waved and smiled around at everyone before moving over to embrace his host, Karen Donovan, and taking a seat beside her.
"Well, hello Kurt. Thank you for coming."
"Thank you for having me."
"Now, you've just turned 32 years old, right?"
"That's right," Kurt replied with a grimace and a laugh, "last week actually."
"And as I, and everyone here, can see, you're pregnant." She said with a smile while looking him over.
"Yes I am." Kurt replied and placed a hand over his protruding stomach through his suit.
"And how many children do you have already?"
"This one will be number 4."
"Wow, 3 kids, pregnancy and you run your own company, how do you do it?" She asked as he laughed lightly, "Where do you find the time?"
"Well, Elizabeth is 7, Alex is 4, and Isabella turns 2 next month, but I have a great support team at home." He said as the audience awed as a picture of his children flashed up on the screen behind him, "Yeah, that's them."
"So precious," Karen said as she watched the screen change to one of Kurt holding a baby, "Which one was that one?"
"That was Alex." He said and she smiled adoringly at the picture.
"So cute." She said and she turned back to him, "Now, you're company, Hummelbird, where did you get the name?"
"It's actually a nickname that a close friend had for me, she called me it all the time, and I thought it sounded great as a company name, so I used it."
"That's very sweet." She said while she shuffled her papers around in her hands, "So you're married to one, Blaine Anderson, from the recording label, Lykos, right?" She asked with a grin as Blaine's picture flashed up on the screen and the audience started to cat call and wolf whistle excitedly.
Kurt laughed and smiled at them, and Karen looked over the picture herself, before turning back to him.
"Well, who wouldn't jump on that and get pregnant?" She said and the audience and Kurt laughed.
"Duh." Kurt said and the audience giggled.
"So how long have you been together?" She asked curiously.
"Nearly 10 years, married for 8."
"Wow, so you both met in college then?"
"Yes, I was in college for fashion design at Parson's, he was at NYU studying music, but we actually met," Kurt laughed as he remembered their first meeting, "in Lima, Ohio. He was originally from Westerville, and I grew up in Lima, he was visiting his mom, and I was visiting my parents, and we literally bumped into each other outside a coffee shop. I spilt my coffee over both of us, and our story just picked up from there."
She laughed as he described their first meeting, and then a picture flashed up on the screen behind them of both of them on holiday with their kids, on the beach and the audience awed again. Kurt looked up at the screen and laughed himself, it was their holiday in Italy 3 years ago.
"So, now that you're both big shots in your respective fields, how has it been? Balancing the fame and private lives?"
"It's been hard, some of it has been eye opening," Kurt replied with a small laugh, "We don't get bothered a lot, but sometimes it can get a bit crazy."
"Yeah, I understand that." She agreed, "So the new line, it's coming out soon, what can you tell us?"
"It's different, the company really didn't take off until, 'Baby' came out, but this new spring line, is called, 'Awakening', not my choice of name, but," Kurt laughed and the audience laughed with him, "It's more for older children now, and young teen, but there are also some adult pieces within it."
"And there is a fashion show coming up right?"
"Right, yeah, it's in April, at the Lincoln Center, and it's going to be a big one this time. Lots and lots of outfits on display. My team, bless them, they work so hard for me, and they take my hormones right now with a pinch of salt," He said as he laughed, and rubbed over his stomach, "and my assistant Melissa, she has been there since the very beginning, and sadly I won't be attending it this time."
"Oh?" She said curiously.
"My due date is around that time, and I don't really want to go into labour while giving my speech on stage," Kurt said and the audience chuckled lightly, "It wouldn't be a very pretty sight, for anyone. But Melissa is taking over for me, I trust her, she's great. She knows what's what."
"That's amazing," she said and the screen flashed up some pictures of the last fashion shoot, and the audience clapped for him as he mouthed 'Thank you' at them, "You're so inspirational to a lot of people, especially other carriers, do you get a lot of mail from them?"
"I do, I get so many very emotional letters and emails, and tweets and messages, from so many, who found my story so inspirational that it made them stronger, and made them live their life to the fullest. And that is probably the best part of the fame, is being an inspiration to people to make their own lives better."
"Are you apart of any charities?"
"Yeah, I'm actually part of quite a few, LGBT, Women's Rights, C.A.C, which is Care and Awareness for Carriers, Young and Homeless, there are quite a few."
"Wow, so you're involved with helping people?"
"Oh yeah, as much as I can be." Kurt responded with a small nod, "My work has been pretty busy over the last year, but I try to keep up with what's happening, and help as much as I possibly can."
"That's great." She said, "Thank you so much, for coming on."
"Oh, thank you for having me."
"It's been a pleasure chatting to you, Kurt."
"You, too."
"And we couldn't let you leave without giving you a few gifts," She said and Kurt's mouth dropped open as she pointed to where one of her staff was bringing out a bunch of flowers and some wrapped things. "It's a few little baby clothes, for this little one and a few things for the other kids at home."
"Oh my gosh, thank you." Kurt said as he accepted the flowers, "They're going to be over the moon to get presents."
She laughed and then addressed the audience that another break was coming up, and as the cameras cut, somebody walked on the set, to take the gifts and flowers from Kurt, carrying them back stage for him, as he said goodbye to the host and walked off too, waving goodbye to the audience, who cheered at him as he left.

When Kurt took his car back to the house after his interview was over, he walked into a lot of laughter and singing.
He smiled as he made his way through the hall towards the living room, where most of the noise was accumulated, and what he saw made him laugh.
Blaine, Sam and Puck had on sunglasses and suits, singing and dancing around to a Blues Brothers soundtrack, with Sebastian and the children laughing from the couch.
They were making up silly moves and made silly faces as they sang, and it looked like they had been entertaining everyone for quite a while, but it was way past bedtime for the children.
As Kurt laughed loudly from the doorway, all faces turned towards him and the children all shouted "Dada!" as they ran to hug him.
Isabella being last, not as fast as her big brother and sister, and still getting used to navigating chubby little toddler legs.
"Hey, baby, how did it go?" Blaine said as Puck turned the music down.
"It went well...what have you been doing?"
"Entertaining!" Puck yelled and the children all laughed at him as he posed in a silly strong man way.
"Come and sit down Dad, they're really funny." Elizabeth said as she tried to drag Kurt towards the couch, and Blaine smiled widely at him.
"I'm sure they are, sweetheart," Kurt said with a grin in the guys' direction, "but it's way past your bedtime." He finished as he pointedly looked at Blaine.
Blaine smiled and shrugged a little.
"Dada's right, guys," Blaine said as all the children groaned about bedtime, "I did say that you could only stay up until he got home."
Elizabeth let out another groan before she pulled on her daddy's sleeve.
"But Daddy, it was so funny. Can't we do just another one?" She pleaded with him and Kurt laughed at her attempt to get around Blaine.
Blaine just shook his head down at her with a smile.
"And I'm sure it will be funny again, tomorrow. Come on my little munchkins, up we go to bed." Blaine said as Alex put his hands up to be carried, "What's this? Is my little boy being lazy?"
He placed his hands on his hips as he stared down at Alex, and it made him giggle and reach up more for Blaine.
"Daddy! Carry me!" Alex shouted up at him through his giggles and Blaine roared before scooping him up.
"You're so lazy, you cheeky monkey." Blaine said and blew a small raspberry on the side of Alex's neck, and his son laughed louder.
Kurt watched them with a smile, before he leaned in to whisper to his daughter.
"How about I brush your hair and sing you a song tonight?"
She looked up at him with a big smile and nodded excitedly. Sebastian handed Kurt Isabella and she tucked her little face into his neck as they moved upstairs.
The guys all said goodnight to the children and Elizabeth kissed all of her uncles before she ran up the stairs, ahead of everyone, Blaine and Alex running and roaring behind her, which made her squeal and laugh.
Kurt walked slowly up with Isabella tucked in his arms, his nearly 2 year old clung to him tightly and he kissed her head.
"My sweet little buttercup." Kurt whispered to her and she giggled a little against his neck, before she lifted her head and looked up at him.
"Dada, we going night-nights?" She asked in her sweet little voice, and Kurt smiled down at her.
"Yes, darling, we going night-nights. Do you want Dada to sing?" Kurt asked her and she instantly brightened and shouted, "Yeah! yeah!"
When they walked into the girls' shared bedroom, Blaine was there with Alex and Elizabeth, their daughter already sitting on the little chair next to her bed.
Kurt placed Isabella down as he entered and she ran and jumped onto Blaine's lap, and he laughed as he caught her, hugging her tight.
Kurt and Blaine had found a perfect routine for the children, it had taken a few attempts at different strategies but this one worked best.
Elizabeth's hair was exactly like Blaine's, do Kurt had been brushing it out every night before bed, so it wouldn't be so hard to manage in the mornings for school. He had also found that his children really loved hearing him sing.
So instead of bedtime stories, sometimes they would ask him to sing. He didn't mind if it got them to sleep easier.
He sat down on the edge of Elizabeth's bed, and she sat on the little chair in front of him as he lightly started stroking the brush through her hair.
"So what shall we sing today?" Kurt asked as he looked around at all of them, and Isabella jumped up and down on Blaine's lap yelling, "Rainbow! Rainbow!"
Elizabeth frowned at her sister and placed her hands on her little hips.
"No, Izzy, dad sang Rainbow last time." She chastised her little sister and Blaine laughed when Isabella pouted slightly.
"Why don't you choose one tonight, honey?" Blaine told Kurt as he sat with Isabella on his lap and Alex leaning against his side, where they were perched on Isabella's little bed.
"Me? Ok...erm," Kurt had to think about it for a moment before his eyes lit up, "Ok I think I have the perfect song."
Blaine smiled softly at him as he swapped Isabella in his lap for Alex, and tucked her in her little bed.
"It's a song that my mom sang to me when I was little."
"Grandma Elizabeth?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
"That's right." Kurt said and he and Blaine shared a look before Kurt started singing softly.
"Who knows how long I've loved you You know I love you still," Kurt's voice was so ethereal that Blaine sat in awe listening with the children.
"Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will."
Elizabeth relaxed back against the chair as Kurt continued brushing her hair lightly, and Blaine had leaned over to kiss Isabella goodnight, as their youngest struggled to keep her eyes open.
"And if I ever saw you I didn't catch your name,
But it never really mattered I will always feel the same."
As Kurt continued singing, he placed the brush down and tucked Elizabeth in her bed, brushing a few steand of hair out of her face as he leaned down to kiss her head.
"Love you forever and forever Love you with all my heart," Kurt was a little surprised that as he sang, Blaine had started singing with him, and harmonizing along perfectly, and he couldn't help the big smile he gave his husband as they sang together.
"Love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart."
"And when at last I find you,
Your song will fill the air." Blaine sang on his own, as Kurt walked over to give Isabella a kiss, "Sing it loud so I can hear you."
Kurt joined back in on the last part of the song as they both stood and Blaine picked up a sleepy Alex, who snuggled down into his chest.
"Make it easy to be near you,
For the things you do endear you to me;
Oh, you know I will."
They finished together and smiled around at their children sleeping, before throwing a loving smile at each other as Kurt whispered the last lyrics to Blaine.
"I will." He said softly and Blaine winked at him as they moved out of the girls room and went to place Alex in his own room.
They both placed a kiss on their sleeping son's head and backed out of the room.
"Your mom really loved the Beatles huh?" Blaine asked as he wrapped a hand around Kurt's waist, as they walked to their room.
Kurt nodded as they reached their door.
"She did." He replied as they entered their room, "But I never truly understood those lyrics until now. It's about willingly loving someone forever, no matter what happens, and that's exactly how I feel about you and the kids."
Blaine smiled softly and pulled Kurt towards him, and their lips met in a light kiss.
"I will love you all forever," Blaine said as he placed light kisses down Kurt's neck, "and ever and ever..."
Kurt laughed lightly at Blaine's attempt at seduction, and pulled away to push his husband down onto the bed, causing him to laugh too.

Elizabeth was now 8 years old, she had had her little school friends round for a tiny tea party, to celebrate. The girls all enjoying playing around with the tea set and cooing over Elizabeth's little sister, Alex didn't want to know, he didn't like girls. Or so he told Blaine.
Kurt had permission from all of her friends' parents, to give the girls a little make over before they went home, and he did their hair in all different styles and painted their nails, they had squealed with excitement, when they were told they could paint Kurt's as well.
When the girls had all gone home, Kurt had sat down on the couch, while Sebastian and Sam were feeding the kids birthday cake in the kitchen, and Puck watched him trying to get all the different coloured nail polish off of his hands. He had rainbow nails. And Puck laughed.
After Christmas and New Year were out of the way, Blaine and Kurt had decided they had to go through Elizabeth's first change with her. Kurt was changing with her, she needed her parent's support as a new wolf, so Sam and Sebastian had both offered to take Isabella and Alex out for ice-cream, while they were busy with the change.
Puck stuck around too, Elizabeth loved him so it only felt natural that she have her favourite uncle there too.
Blaine had told her all he could about what it would feel like and what she should expect, but there was no greater explanation than learning by doing, so Kurt transformed first, Puck next, and they waited for Blaine to try and talk Elizabeth through it, but if she couldn't do it on her own he had to force it for her, just the first time.
"You know when you go over a bump at high speed in the car, and you get that strange whoop in your belly?" He said, trying to explain the feel of changing to her, and she nodded, "Well, it's like that, only it's not just in your belly, it's all over your whole body."
She looked over at her Dada and her Uncle Puck, they were silent and watching patiently.
"Close your eyes, princess." Blaine said and she did, "Take a couple of deep breaths, slowly in and slowly out," she did again, "Imagine you have paws, and ears...a tail...fur, think about smells and trees and running."
As his voice explained, Elizabeth began to feel a pull on her insides, like they were suddenly moving, and Blaine watched her with a smile as her nose started twitching, and her fangs poked over her bottom lip, he watched excitedly as her ears lengthened and became pointed and the fur started to appear across her arms and face.
Puck yipped excitedly and as Elizabeth lost concentration, she reverted back again, everything stopping. Puck looked down a little guilty, and Blaine just shook his head with a smile.
"Did you want to try again, sweetheart?" Blaine asked and she nodded as she closed her eyes and let her imagination take over again.
Blaine felt a proud smile filling his face as his daughter's change happened a lot faster the second time, she shifted around a little uncomfortably as her spine shortened, but within about 3 minutes, she was a small black, fluffy wolf cub, running excitedly around and around Kurt's legs, yipping at him.
Blaine laughed as she stumbled a little on her now 4 feet instead of 2, and he shucked off his pants before changing himself, walking over to her. She eyed him a little wearily before she sniffed at him and then jumped around his front legs, barking again.
Blaine licked over the fur on the top of her head, and Puck run off a ways away in the garden, yipping excitedly himself, begging her to come and play. She stumbled as she tried to run after him, and Kurt and Blaine looked on after her with proud eyes.
"Our little girl is beautiful." Blaine thought to Kurt and his mate's muzzle turned to lick his face with a whine.
"She is." Kurt thought back, and Blaine nuzzled against his neck, before he ran over and joined in the little play fight.
Kurt's eyes lit up in mirth, as the tiny little bundle of black fluff tried to jump up onto Blaine's back, but only managed to end up falling backwards onto the grass with a little yelp. Blaine nuzzled against his daughter's face and she licked him before trying to nip at his ears.
Blaine growled playfully before rolling over on the grass, with the little wolf clambering all over his face and head, and he groaned at her when she was jumping up and down across his chest.
As Blaine and Elizabeth patted at each other with their paws, Blaine trying to be careful, not to be too rough with her, she scampered away from him quickly to jump onto Kurt, who had lay down in the grassy patch beside them. Kurt also groaned playfully at her as he tried grasping at her with his mouth, being mindful of his teeth. She jumped over his back and gripped ahold of one of his white ears, tugging it mercilessly.
Kurt rolled his eyes a little and shook his head, dislodging his daughter's grip and she fell back onto the grass next to him with a small thud. Kurt gripped her tiny neck with his mouth, and started nibbling at her fluffy fur. It was as black as her father's but there was a thing silvery white line, from her chest to her stomach.
She had also kept her bright blue eyes in this form. She was a gorgeous little wolf cub.
She gave up trying to kick her dada's muzzle away after a couple minutes and just lay underneath him while he nibbled at her fur and licked her face. Blaine strode over and flattened himself over Kurt, his mate groaning at the added weight, before rolling over to grab ahold of Blaine's neck fur playfully.
Blaine and Kurt wrestled lightly, rolling around on the grass, Kurt's pregnant stomach not keeping him from enjoying a romp with his mate, and Elizabeth tackled Blaine too, he whined in protest about being teamed up on and Puck looked over them with a wolfish grin on his face.
When Sam and Sebastian had come back, they had found Kurt asleep on the couch, Blaine and Puck watching television, and a tiny black fluffy cub, sleeping peacefully, laying all stretched out on top of Kurt's stomach.

Kurt's work had become even more stressful after his television interview, his phones and orders had exploded. He was lucky to have such great staff on hand, but it was still stressful. And it didn't help that it was now early March, and he was heavily pregnant, with 7 weeks to go his own hormones already made him a stress bitch, but now with what was happening he seemed to be a lot more snappy.
Melissa knew how he could be, she had been with him for nearly 5 years now, she was the only one who could easily brush off his mood swings and carry on, but he had already made another young woman in the mail department cry, and a couple of guys from the website management offices wouldn't look him in the eye.
He sighed as he left his little office to go home, he felt extremely hot right now, and his brow was starting to bead with sweat, he was also getting an uncomfortable feeling in the bottom of his abdomen. As he walked past the other offices, saying goodbye to Melissa on the way, he blacked out and fell to the floor.
Melissa and a couple of the others, all rushed over as he fell, and Melissa was ordering them to get hold of an ambulance while she fished out Kurt's phone and dialled Blaine's number.
Blaine was at work, just finished a recording with a new artist, he had recently signed up, and his phone rang. He handed the reins over to his assistant Tommy, while he stepped out to answer as Kurt's name flashed up on the screen.
"Hello, baby, I wasn't expected a call until later?" Blaine said into the phone but his smile faded as the panicked voice of Melissa came over the line, and he went white as a sheet as she explained what happened.
"Slow down honey, what happened?" She explained a little slower and Blaine rushed to tell Tommy to take over for the day and he rushed out, promising Melissa that he would meet her at the hospital.
After arriving and looking around desperately, Melissa spotted him, and pulled him to one side.
"Kurt's just being checked over, they won't let me in there, but they might let you." She said and she pointed behind her to a tiny room, and then to a nurse at the desk.
He got the nurse behind the desk to take him back to that room, giving Melissa a small smile as he left, and she nodded at him.
Walking into the little examining room, he found Kurt already awake and sitting up on the bed, looking irritable but ok.
"But doctor I'm fine really." Kurt said as Blaine walked closer, and as he spied his mate he sighed with relief, "Blaine, please tell the nice doctor to release me please?"
"What's the diagnosis doc?" Blaine asked the doctor pointedly ignoring his irritated mate, and Kurt huffed indignantly as he crossed his arms.
"Too much stress..." the doctor started and Blaine saw Kurt snort underneath his breath as the doctor continued, "I've ordered bed rest for the next week, and for him to take his leave from work early."
"But I have a line coming out and-"
"Yes, doctor, of course, I'll make sure he does." Blaine said as he interrupted Kurt, looking at him with a raised eyebrow and watching Kurt trying not to puff his cheeks out in annoyance.
"I'll get the discharge papers then, I assume your the husband?" The doctor asked and Blaine nodded, and the doctor left.
Blaine turned back to Kurt, a serious expression on his face.
"Kurt-"
"I know, I know." Kurt interrupted him and looked away pointedly, and Blaine sighed as he walked closer.
"Baby, I know it's going to be hard for you, but the line will do just fine." Blaine said, and he placed his hands gently on top of Kurt's stomach, stroking over the blanket around him lightly, "But I also want you and the baby to be ok."
"Blaine-" Kurt was cut off as Blaine caught his lips in a kiss, the worry for his mate and baby ebbing away as he kissed him, and Kurt melted against him, "Alright...I guess I do need a break."
"Thanks you." Blaine said fondly, knowing how difficult Kurt found it to be immobile, even for a little while.
Kurt just smiled back at him, before the doctor strode back in with the forms.
