Blaine was shocked. He stood with his mouth almost hanging open. Pregnant? Sebastian was pregnant?
"How..when.." Blaine was stumped for words. He took a moment to collect his thoughts, never turning his back on Sebastian. He closed his eyes and decided to play it safe, just imagine Sebastian was a female friend who was having a baby.
"Congratulations. Are you happy about it?" He asked
Sebastian was stumped that was Blaine's first question
"I am, while circumstances may not be ideal, I do want this" Sebastian answered
"that's why you had that book?" Blaine asked
"One of the reasons, yes. You not going to ask how?"
"I think I covered that in the book, how far along are you?" Blaine queried
"12 weeks," Sebastian answered
"So that's what the doctor was talking about. When they checked you over, your baby was OK right?" Blaine asked worriedly
"Yes they wouldn't let me go otherwise" Sebastian confirmed
"Does Hunter know you're pregnant?" Blaine asked
"Yeah he walked in when I did the test, he accused me of cheating and called me disgusting, but I think he was referring to the baby not me. I was bloody faithful to him even though I know for a fact he wasn't faithful to me. I've changed since high school Blaine"
"I can see you have, you don't need to tell me twice. So what are you going to do in the mean time?"
"Work, save money, so I can look after the baby"
"What about government funding?" Blaine asked aware help was available for single parents.
"If I want funding then I have to agree to be a guinea pig, well everything about me has to be observed and recorded, I just want to do everything as low key. As I begin to show more, I will leave my job but I need to save up in the mean time. Once the baby is born, I will just be classed as a single father so I will get a little help but the plans arn't great."
"That's a good choice. I wish I could do something to help" Blaine said
Sebastian looked for the sympathy he dispised in Blaine's eyes but all he saw was empathy and a need to be wanted. In that moment
"Thanks, I don't really need anything at the moment" Sebastian said
"How about a friend?" Blaine offered
"Are you sure, after what you've been through recently?"
"More because of that. I've known loss Sebastian and from what I can tell from what I have read there is a higher chance of complications and the risk of stress in a women's pregnancy is unhealthy for the baby, I have no idea how your body or your baby will react. I want to help Sebastian"
"I need to do this on my own Blaine, I can't rely on others, I need to prove to myself I can do it"
"But not alone Sebastian, never alone. I would love to be included somehow, even just to pay a visit or cook you a meal at random intervals"
"You'd do that as a friend?" Sebastian asked
"Yeah. If you let me be a part of this. I don't want to impose." Blaine said "Besides I find it quite exciting your pregnant"
"Well we can give a try...but I need my space...and I'm not going to try and get in your pants, so don't expect anything" Sebastian said
"Well I am glad to hear that, why couldn't you have said that in High school, we could have, had many years s friends"
"Yeah with Kurt around? Wasn't going to happen. I know I can't speak ill of the dead but I never thought he could give you everything you needed, but then you proved me wrong."
"Wow, was that a bit of praise in Kurt's direction? Wish he could be here to hear that. He wouldn't believe it otherwise" Blaine said with a small smile
"You don't mind talking about him?" Sebastian asked surprised
"Everyone thinks they should avoid the topic, but I don't want them to. He was my husband and I want to always remember him, the more I think about him, the longer I will remember everything about him." Blaine said "My grief counsellor explained to my parents that why I seem to be grieving differently from others, I am dealing with it in my own way and in my own time. My parents are very analytical and feel everything should follow a timeline and order"
"My parents were like that. I think most of Dalton parents were that way inclined." Sebastian commented
"True. So what do you think?"
"Well it would be helpful to have someone with me, as long as it wouldn't be too hard on you" Sebastian answered
"I wouldn't have offered if I couldn't take it. How about a coffee to seal the deal?"
"Make it a hot chocolate. Coffee can be bad for the baby" Sebastian said
Blaine looked at him, his eyes wide with horror
"I am going to be your friend without coffee...Too late to take back my offer" HE said jokingly
"Afraid so. You're stuck with me Anderson" Sebastian smirked
"Well I'd better make sure I drink enough coffee or there are going to be 2 hormonal men in this relationship" Blaine said with a smile
Sebastian smiled at Blaine. Maybe this could work. It couldn't do any harm, right?
