Kurt walks down the hall proudly, his head held high with a big smile on his face. Not only was today perfect so far, but it was also the day he would see his baby! Blaine asked him if he wanted to come to the ultrasound, and of course he said yes! Who wouldn't want to see that gorgeous baby? He walks up to his locker and sighs happily, doing the combination as he hums softly to himself. Nothing could bring his mood down. He puts his books away and looks at the pictures of him and his friends pinned up on his bulletin board in his locker, along with the ones of him and Blaine. He sees the perfect spot and smiles to himself. That's where the baby's ultrasound picture would go. Kurt closes his locker and turns around, gasping when the glass like ice crystals collide with his face. He licks his lips and sighs. Blue slushy this time. Laughter is heard and he stands there until the hockey-playing culprits are gone, ignoring their hateful words; "see ya, fag!" and, "enjoy that slushy, homo!" Kurt drops his things and wipes his eyes, opening them and he instantly meets the soft, hazel eyes of his boyfriend.
"They should really be suspended for that." Blaine points out, taking Kurt's hand as he leads him to the boys locker room, "I don't understand why people have to be so hateful." He frowns, getting a warm damp towel, "Are you okay?"
He nods and sighs, "The burning stops after a while. I'm okay, really. You should get to class."
He shakes his head, sitting down next to him to softly begin to wipe his face and hair clean, "We have Glee next; Mr. Schue will understand, I'm sure." Blaine sighs and shakes his head, "This is ridiculous, Kurt. We need to tell someone or something. They can't be allowed to do this to you all the time."
"It's not all the time anymore. Just like, once a week." He tries to smile and forces a chuckle, "Puck's done it more than those guys have!"
Blaine frowns at his boyfriend, "It doesn't matter. I can see what it does to you." He looks into his eyes, a knowing look in them, "It turns you into the boy I saw the day I met you when you came to spy on the Warblers... The boy who was scared for his life." He tenderly cups Kurt's cold cheek and frowns more, "I don't want you to everfeel like that again."
"I won't." He says quietly, looking into his eyes, "Not as long as you're here. You pick me up when I fall... You give me courage."
The boys laugh together and finish getting cleaned up; Kurt changes his clothes after complaining about how his outfit was ruined. That whole courage thing has become kind of their little inside joke. At the time it was completely helpful, but it was fun to tease Blaine about it. It was true though. He did give him courage. Kurt has to face that fact that if Blaine wasn't there after the slushy, he probably would have broken down in tears and ran off somewhere. Hand in hand, Kurt and Blaine walk into the choir room right in the middle of Mr. Schue's lesson. He doesn't say anything about them being late, he just says to take a seat and pay attention. Kurt looks around the room and sighs. Yeah, someone must have witnessed the scene in the hall. When Mr. Schue was finished speaking, Finn turns to look at him.
"Are you okay, Kurt?" He questions, "Tina told us about the slushy."
"Yeah, he's fi-"
"I didn't ask you, Blaine."
"Hey!" Kurt glares at his step-brother, "I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to my boyfriend like that, Finn!"
"What?" He shouts and stands, pointing accusingly at Blaine, "He lets those guys call you names and throw slushies' in your face, but when I try to defend you, you take hisside?"
He rolls his eyes and crosses his legs, "Just because Blaine thinks with his brain and not his fists, doesn't mean he can't protect me."
"Please." Blaine says softly, "Stop fighting." He places his hand protectively over his stomach.
"I'm totally down for kicking some ass." Puck speaks up with a shrug, "I'll shove those sticks so far up their-"
"Oh you would!" Kurt yells with another roll of his eyes, "That's all you know how to-"
"STOP IT!" Blaine screams and stands up. Everyone goes silent and Kurt frowns, watching his boyfriend walk out of the room.
"Blaine..." Kurt calls softly after him, standing and following him out.
"That went well." Mike states.
"Shut up." Tina says with a shake of her head.
Kurt walks down the hallways, searching for his love. He didn't understand why he would just run out like that. It didn't make any sense. They weren't doing anything, were they? When he finally spots Blaine, he's sitting on the floor leaning against a row of lockers, his hands on his stomach. He internally panics, walking over as quickly as possible. Was something wrong with the baby? Was he in pain? As he gets closer, he realizes the answer to both of those questions were no. Blaine was speaking to the baby in a soft, hushed tone. Kurt pauses a few feet away, watching and listening intently.
"It's okay, baby." Blaine says softly, keeping his hands over his bloated abdomen, "Don't listen to those loud voices. Violence isn't the answer to anything, no matter how much you might just want to kill every single person who hurts the one you love. The best thing to do is go for help. You don't know how bad I wanted to kill those guys who hurt daddy Kurt today, but I didn't do anything, did I? No, because I need to protect you too. Uncle Finn doesn't know about you, but once he does, m-maybe he'll understand why I couldn't protect daddy Kurt..."
"Blaine?" Kurt says softly, slowly sitting down next to him, "Honey, you..." He puts a hand over his hands on his stomach, clearing his throat, "Hey, little one." He smiles, "I was just about to tell daddy Blaine here that he did, in fact, protect me. If it weren't for daddy Blaine, I'd probably be sitting in a corner crying, all sticky from that terrible slushy!" He looks at Blaine now, meeting his eyes, "And I'd be hurt and alone, but that wasn't the case at all… daddy Blaine saved me… just like he has since I met him."
He smiles a little, sniffling, "I'm sorry, Kurt. I didn't mean to freak out like that. I just..." He looks down at their hands on his stomach and frowns, "I don't want our baby around fighting like that before it's even born... m-my parents always shout and I remember how it made me feel when I was little. I just don't want our baby to ever, ever feel that way."
"No, sweetie, I understand." He kisses his cheek and rests his forehead on the side of his head, "Don't apologize for anything."
"I want to tell your family." Blaine says, his eyes closed, "I need someone to know besides us."
Kurt nods and kisses his ear, "We'll do it today... After the ultrasound."
"I was starting to think you forgot about that." He chuckles and turns his head to look at him.
"Yeah, right!" He scoffs and rolls his eyes with a smile, nuzzling their noses together, "I've been thinking about it all day! I can't wait!"
"I love you." He says softly, leaning in to kiss his lips, closing his eyes.
He closes his eyes and smiles against his lips, kissing back sweetly as he mumbles, "I love you too."
Before Kurt knew what was happening, Blaine had pushed his fingers into his hair and began kissing him harder. He chuckles against his lips and wraps his arms around his waist, pulling him closer. Kurt parts his lips and gently runs his tongue along Blaine's bottom lip, asking for permission that he was gladly given. They both open their mouth and let out a soft, soft moan as their tongues meet. Sometimes just kissing Blaine was better than anything else. When they just kissed, it felt natural. Kurt felt like he could do it for the rest of his life. Actually, he planned to. He wants to spend the rest of his life with the man he has wrapped in his arms right now. No one else would have his heart like Blaine has his. They sit there like that, just kissing, until the bell rings. Startled, Kurt pulls back and looks around the hall, his lips swollen and his cheeks flushed. He looks at Blaine who was just as dazed as him and smiles.
"I think we should probably get up. We have to skip last period if we're going to get to the appointment in time." Blaine says, licking his lips as he watches Kurt stand.
"You're probably right." Kurt holds out his hands and his boyfriend takes them, letting him help him up, "I have French next, so I can definitely skip that. And you have physics."
"Come on." Blaine laughs and laces their fingers together, going to the car, "I don't care about gravity."
Kurt sits at the doctor's office, drumming his fingers nervously on the chair as he waits for Blaine's name to be called. As soon as they got here he started to get all anxious and nervous. What if something was wrong with their baby? What if- No. He wouldn't think like that. Everything would be fine. The baby was going to be healthy and Blaine would be too. No need to worry. He sighs and starts to bounce his leg, looking around the waiting room, shaking his head slightly. The colors didn't go together at all. The whole room clashed. They obviously had a horrible interior designer. He looks across them at a big, pregnant woman with her husband and smiles a little when she looks at him. She looked like she was ready to pop any minute. Kurt looks away after that and at Blaine who was flipping through a magazine on his lap contently. He didn't even look nervous, and as they sit there, he couldn't help but imagine what Blaine would look like big and pregnant. It was a sight that was hard to imagine because Blaine had never been big a day in his life, but for some reason, he couldn't wait until it actually happened. Kurt smiles as his boyfriend looks up. Blaine slowly smiles back and chuckles, blushing under his boyfriend's gaze.
"What?" He asks softly, biting his lip, "Do I have something on my face or something? Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
He shakes his head and smiles, "No, you look great. I just... I love you so much."
"Well... I guess I love you too..." He says kind of confused.
"Blaine Anderson?"
They both stand together, still holding hands. They follow the nurse to the back and she takes his height and weight and measures his abdomen; of course he giggles throughout the entire measurement, only making Kurt smile and roll his eyes, apologizing for his boyfriend's "terribly annoying but cute behavior". Once that was finished, she announces that his tummy was growing at the perfect rate and that it was one whole inch and a half bigger around than it was on his last visit. Blaine grins excitedly and takes Kurt's hand again, lacing their fingers together as they walk back to the ultrasound room. The nurse tells them that the doctor will be there to do the ultrasound in just a few minutes before walking out. Blaine sits in the chair and reclines it back, still holding his boyfriend's hand as he lifts his shirt up over his belly. Kurt smiles and reaches over, laying his free hand over the small bump.
"I'm so excited. You have no idea." Blaine says, putting his hand over Kurt's, "What do you think it'll look like?"
He chuckles, "I don't know. It'll probably just look like a blob or something."
"Nope, it'll look like a baby! Well, mostly. Maybe a little blobish, but we'll see!" A woman says as she walks in with a bright smile on her face, "Hello, I'm Dr. Michaels, I'm Blaine's OBGYN."
Kurt shakes her hand with a smile, "Nice to meet you. I'm Ku-"
"Kurt Hummel, I know!" She laughs, starting up the machine, "This guy wouldn't stop talking about you last time. Looks like you took the news well, huh? I told you not to worry so much, Blaine."
Blaine blushes, "Ah, well... He's amazing, and I'm just paranoid."
"I think you're the amazing one." Kurt says with a smile and laughs at Blaine's face when Dr. Michaels puts the gel on his stomach, "You're adorable too."
"Alright, just look at that screen right up there on the wall, and I'll look here and check everything out."
They both look together and tightly grip each other's hands, staring at the screen, waiting anxiously. The boys let out a breath at the same moment, just as their baby appears. It really did look like a baby. It had a nose and everything. He grips Blaine's hand tighter and stares at the screen, tears filling his eyes. The doctor gets a good position and Kurt smiles, sitting back slightly as she explains how far along Blaine was. He was ten weeks and the baby was looking great. She goes on, explaining to him how he needs lots of rest and as little stress as possible. Kurt doesn't really hear anything though. He just keeps looking at the baby, smiling at the screen. It was kind of shaped like a peanut. He smiles more. Peanut. That's what he'd call the baby until they find out the sex. Suddenly he hears something that sounds much like how he'd imagine butterflies wings would sound like. It was a soft, fast little pitter patter.
"And that's your baby's heartbeat! Nice and strong!" She says with a nod and a smile, "Everything looks great, you guys."
Kurt keeps looking at the screen, listening to their baby's heartbeat, "Oh, wow... wow."
"Kurt, are you okay?" Blaine asks worriedly, squeezing his hand.
"Yeah." He says breathlessly, looking at his boyfriend when the doctor finishes up, "Yeah, I'm perfect. So, so perfect, you have no idea."
The car ride home was pretty much silent as Blaine looks through the photos they got from the ultrasound. It wasn't a tense silence, just more of a "I can't believe it" kind of silence. Kurt could literally feel the love in the air, filling the car and just smothering them to the point where it was hard to focus. He's careful though. He didn't want to get into an accident and hurt the two most important people in his life. Pulling into the driveway of his house, Kurt takes a deep breath and smiles over at his boyfriend. Blaine looks at him and smiles back softly, letting out a quiet sigh. Their baby was strong and healthy, Blaine was strong and healthy… everything was absolutely perfect. The moment is interrupted when a loud tapping sounds from Kurt's window. He looks to his left and his eyes widen slightly. It was a very angry Burt Hummel.
"Get out of the car, both of you." Burt says coldly, "Now."
Kurt gets out slowly, taking Blaine's hand when he walks over, "Hey, dad. Wh-what's up?"
"Skipping class, Kurt, really?" He shouts, "Look, when I said I trusted you... I mean, I know you and Blaine are..." He shifts uncomfortably and sighs, "Anyway... Skipping class?"
Kurt smiles, "Dad, we weren't skipping class to have sex. I promise."
Blaine holds the ultrasound photos in his hand, resting it protectively against his stomach; again with the yelling, "Please don't shout."
"Well then why were you skipping together?" Burt asks, lowering his voice after sending his son's boyfriend an apologetic look.
The younger Hummel sighs and looks at his dad, "We should go inside and talk."
