"Sweetie, I'm home!" Kurt announced as he entered his penthouse in New York City that he shared with his husband Blaine.
Both men were now 30 years old. They had been married for six years now. And they had been living together in New York since they graduated high school, both attending NYU, Kurt for fashion and Blaine for music. It wasn't until they got married, though, that they moved into this particular penthouse, finally getting Kurt's craft room and Blaine's music room, where, yes, his harmonica stayed safe and sound.
Blaine walked up to his husband, greeting him with a hug.
"Hey, baby! I was just with Harry in my music room, teaching him how to play piano."
At this, a young boy with brown curly hair, exactly like Blaine's came bounding up behind his daddy (Blaine) and running to his pop (Kurt), who grabbed him and spun him around a few times in a tight hug before setting him down again and saying,
"Already? I mean, he's only 4. Is he even capable of playing the piano yet?"
Blaine faked being offended, putting his hands over his son's ears, jokingly, so that the young boy wouldn't have to hear such ridiculous things uttered.
"You'd be surprised. He's almost got the theme song to Harry Potter down."
Kurt gave Blaine a look of disbelief. He didn't know why he still let things like this surprise him. Especially after naming their son Harry, as they had promised one another they would do all those years ago in the hospital room. But sometimes, it still caught him off-guard how big of a dork his husband really was. And he loved him for it.
"OH!" Blaine gasped, suddenly.
"I almost forgot! Something came for you in the mail today!" Blaine announced, suddenly even more giddy than he usually was.
Kurt was confused. He wasn't expecting anything... while he tried to figure out what it could be, Blaine wandered over to coffee table in the living room, put whatever had come for Kurt behind his back, then walked, or more like pranced, excitedly back to Kurt.
"Close your eyes and hold out your hands!"
Kurt did, confused and excited as to what it could be. When he felt something light being placed into them, he opened his eyes and looked down.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! The first edition of Kurtsie arrived! Kurtsie! IT'S HERE! IT'S REAL! OH MY GOD!"
Kurt and Blaine jumped up and down, squeeling in excitement for a few minutes. Harry, who was still standing with his fathers, didn't know what to do, so he just jumped up and down with them, laughing at how silly his fathers were being.
When they had finally settled down a little, Blaine pulled Kurt close to him, giving him a swift kiss on the lips, then pulled his son into the hug as well.
"I'm so proud of you, baby. I knew you could do it. And it looks wonderful. I'm just... so, so proud of you."
"Thank you, Blaine. I'm... I'm actually speechless. I had no idea it would feel so good to actually see years of dreaming right in my hands! Speaking of... when can we expect to get your album in the mail?"
Blaine smiled brightly at the reminder that soon he would be seeing his dream come true as well.
"Well, I'm recording the last song in the studio tomorrow, then they'll do some work to it, and it should be out within the next month."
Kurt began squeeling again at this news. He couldn't believe how far the two had come. Getting into NYU, getting married, getting an apartment in New York City, having a son, creating a fashion magazine, creating an album.
"In fact, I was hoping it might end up being released on the same day that Sami is born. She's due around that time, remember?" Blaine reminded him.
Of course Kurt remembered. He would finally be getting the daughter he'd always dreamed of. The perfect family that he and Blaine had dreamed of all those years ago.
All those years ago... wow had time flown.
Looking back, Kurt thought, it was stupid to put so much responsibility on himself, offering his strength to Blaine, when he needed just as much strength to get through everything for himself. He didn't realize how much of a toll all of it would take on him. How difficult it would be watching the man he loved go through so much pain. And he knew Blaine felt the same exact same way. But neither of them would trade it for a thing in the world. It was because of that story and that time in their life that they were where they were today, living out their happily-ever-after.
A/N: Woah. So, that's it. It's been super fun. Thank you guys so much for sticking with it to the end, if you made it this far. You guys are rock stars! I would love some reviews letting me know what you think. Also, let me know of any (if any at all) one-shots you guys would like for me to write for this story. I have 2 or 3 in my head, but I'm open to more suggestions! I love this story and don't really want to let it go yet. :)
Sooooo... yeah :)
Peace, love, and 3,6
