Kurt hurries around the choir room frantically with the rest of New Directions, trying to get everything set up in time before Finn got there with Blaine. After a substantial amount of begging on his part, he forced Finn to spend the day with his extremely pregnant boyfriend in hopes to distract him so he and the rest of the New Directions could get the choir room set up for the baby shower. It was Thursday and their spring break was already half over, so yesterday while Blaine was being a grumpy ball of hormones, Kurt went out shopping with Mercedes and Rachel, just for old time's sake. He ended up stopping at the baby store when a sudden realization hit him. He hadn't thrown a baby shower for Blaine yet! So the rest of the day was spent secretly planning and calling people. So far all of New Directions (including Mr. Schue and Emma since they kind of needed a key to get into the school) and a few of the Warbles were coming. Carole had to work and Burt definitely did not want to come, although he bowed out graciously. Kurt checks his phone and his eyes widen.
"He's coming! Places! Places!" Kurt runs over and turns off the lights before hurrying to his place next to Brittany and Santana. "Everyone shut up!"
"Finn, why are we even here?" Blaine voice travels into the room irritably. "I don't feel like practicing for stupid Glee, especially after you dragged me around all day long!"
"Oh my God, dude, just chill out, okay?" Finn's voice says, sounding a little annoyed. Kurt assumed Blaine had been protesting for a while. "I just have to pick up some sheet music for Rachel."
"Why couldn't I stay in the car then?" Kurt smiles at his boyfriend's voice, rolling his eyes.
"Well… because… it's not safe." Finn mutters stupidly, their voices close now.
"Mhm. Whatever." Blaine walks in and turns on the light. "Just hurry up, because I want to go ho-"
"SURPRISE!"
Kurt laughs along with everyone else and stares at Blaine as he stands there, his eyes wide, mouth agape with a hand hovering over it. He could tell just by the look on his face that all of this was a huge shock… and it meant Kurt's plan was officially a success. The countertenor walks over and smiles lovingly at him, gently cupping his cheek and stroking it softly, whispering his name a new times to get his attention, asking him if he was okay. Blaine meets his boyfriend's eyes, tears shining in his own, and nods his head before throwing his arms around Kurt's neck, hugging him tightly. Kurt chuckles softly and rubs his back, closing his eyes… and then Blaine lets out a little sob.
"Honey, don't cry." Kurt laughs and pulls back, cupping his cheek and wiping his tears away. "Don't cry. It's okay. Do you like the decorations? I went a little overboard with all the pink…"
"I love it, Kurt…" Blaine sniffs, his hazel eyes wide and teary. "I can't believe you did this. You m-made me spend the entire day with your step-brother so you could do this?"
"Well I wanted it to be a surprise." He smiles and leans down to peck his trembling lips. "Don't cry. I know being alone with Finn was probably torture, but this'll be worth it. I promise, baby."
"Torture for him?" Finn asks incredulously, his eyes going wide as Rachel comes up beside him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "He verbally abused me all day! Sometimes physically!"
"He made me watch Verminators!" Blaine protested, shivering in disgust.
"Oh, dude!" Puck called to Finn from across the room. "Was it the one with the mice?"
"No, the one with the bed bugs." Finn responds with a huge grin, wrapping his arms around Rachel's shoulders as she looks up at him in repulsion.
"Stop it!" Blaine yells while covering is ears. "La, la, la, la, la, la!"
"Okay, okay." Kurt crinkles his nose and rests his hands on Blaine's waist. "No more vermin talk. This is about Blaine and the baby, okay? Finn, stop scarring my boyfriend for life."
"Are we late?" Wes asks as he walks into the choir room, looking around at the decorations, "Wow. That's a lot of pink, dude."
"WESLEY!" Blaine shouts, dropping his hands and grinning widely.
"BLAINERS!" Wes yells back to him, dropping his neatly wrapped gift on the table before running over and scooping the shorter boy into his arms, picking him up and spinning him around.
"Ah!" Kurt squeals, his eyes going wide. "Wes! Put him down! The baby!"
"Oops." He grins and sets Blaine back down on his feet while ruffling his curls. "How are you, curly? Sorry we're late. Kurt told us last minute."
"I told you yesterday." Kurt huffs and rolls his eyes.
"Same difference."
"It's okay." Blaine smiles and looks around. "You said we. Who exactly is 'we'?"
"Sorry, sorry!" Nick stumbles in with a big box with another little box on top of it, Jeff on the other side to help. "We couldn't fit this in Jeff's clown car, so I had to borrow my dad's truck!"
"My car is not a clown car!" Jeff calls defensively, helping set the box down in front of the gift table since it wouldn't fit on top. "If it were, all of us would be able to fit in it because it would be magic!"
"Clowns are scary." Brittany speaks up, curling into Santana's side. "'Tana, are they clowns?"
"No, honey." Santana coos, rubbing her back. "They're just our competition."
"Oh my gosh, guys…" Blaine says softly, staring at the box. "You seriously didn't have to get anything that big…"
"Eh, I have money to blow." Nick grins and strolls over, giving Blaine a soft hug. "Well, my dad has money to blow." He pulls back and smiles.
"Ignore my boyfriend." Jeff rolls his eyes and nudges Nick out of the way to give his hug. "We only want the best for our mini-Warbler baby. Mine's the smaller one, but it's just as fantastic."
"I'm sure it is." Blaine laughs and pulls back, looking around at everyone. "Guys, this is… this is awesome. Thank you." He meets Kurt's eyes and he smiles even more. "Thank you."
"Our pleasure, Blaine." Rachel says as she walks over, placing a hand on his lower back. "New Directions planned this whole thing. That what best friends are for."
"We would have helped if someone had told us on time." Wes says defensively, glaring at Rachel.
"I told you yesterday." Kurt repeats.
"Okay, no fighting." Mr. Schue intervenes, sensing the tension. "Let's play some games, shall we?"
The first game started right after everyone settled down. Everyone got a string necklace with ten baby safety pins on it to start out with, and every time you hear someone say baby, the person who got called out has to give one of their pins to the one who called them out first. The person at the end of the baby shower that has the most pins wins and gets a prize, which Kurt announced was a huge bottle-shaped jar of M&M's. Santana and Kurt were at a tie for the most, Finn had none, and Blaine still had his original ten. Kurt couldn't help but look at Blaine the whole time, watching while he laughed happily and had fun with all of their friends. He was glad that this was bringing him out of his bad mood. He knew Blaine had to at least be a little upset about what happened with his parent's the other day, but he didn't want to push it and make him angry. Currently, they were taking a break from the games and chatter so they could eat lunch. Emma ordered the kids pizza, much to Kurt's distain. He picks a greasy peperoni off his cheese pizza and drops it onto his plate with a scrunch of his nose.
"I can't believe you don't like pizza." Blaine says with an exasperated sigh, reaching over and picking the peperoni off his boyfriend's plate, popping it into his mouth. "How do you live?"
"I don't know." Kurt starts sarcastically with a shrugs of his shoulders. "Eating healthy is so overrated, isn't it?" He lifts his pizza and takes a hesitant bite. He would never admit it… but he adored pizza.
"Oh no, Hummel!" Sam calls from across the table with a small laugh. "It's going right to your hips!"
"Don't remind me." He grumbles and swallows before taking a sip of his water. "You're lucky I love you and this baby, Blaine, because if-"
"I believe you owe me a pin." Blaine says smugly, holding out his hand.
"Ooohh, you just got poned!" Santana shouts with a loud, evil laugh as everyone joins in.
"That's it." Kurt says as he lifts his heavy necklace, taking off a pin and slapping it down into Blaine's waiting hand, "This is the last time I do something nice for you, Anderson."
"Oh well." Blaine shrugs and smiles at him sweetly, pinning it on his necklace.
"Everyone finish up!" Quinn calls out. "I have another games planned! Blaine, come with me!"
"Okay…" He says, a little unsure as he stands up and follows Quinn out of the room and into the hall. She instantly starts wrapping a string around his belly. "What are you doing?"
"Seeing how much string it takes to go around your stomach." She smiles and when the baby kicks her hand, she chuckles, "Well hello there sweetheart."
Blaine smiles, watching her for a moment. "Sorry, she's excited. What's this for?"
"Everyone's going to guess how long the strong should be and then we'll compare it to yours." She snips the string and holds it up. "Whoever's the closest wins and gets the prize."
"Did you do this at your baby shower?" He asks curiously, tilting his head a little as he rests his hands easily on his stomach.
"I didn't have one…" Quinn smiles sadly and takes his hand. "Come on. Let's go back inside."
"Wait…" He squeezes her hand and pulls her back into his arms, hugging her tightly, closing his eyes and nuzzling into her shoulder. "Thanks for this, Quinn."
"I was Ku-"
"I know… but just… thanks." He pulls back and looks into her eyes. "For everything, you know?"
"Of course." She brushes her fingers across his cheek and chuckles. "Now let's go!"
They both head back into the choir room and Kurt smiles at him as he sits back down. Once everyone was finished eating and the table was cleared, Quinn passes the roll of string around and everyone guesses, cutting their own piece of string. Once everyone was done, Quinn walks around and compares everyone's to Blaine's. Tina was the closest so far, Mike's went to the floor, and Brittany's was way too short. Tina was still in the lead by the time Kurt gave Quinn his string. She measures it and purses her lips, looking at the countertenor suspiciously for a moment.
"It's almost perfect." She says.
"What can I say?" Kurt says with a smirk, meeting Blaine's eyes. "I know his body."
"Cheating." Tina huffs and rolls her eyes playfully. "He should be disqualified."
"You can have the prize, Tina." Blaine says, not taking his eyes from Kurt's. "He's got his prize right here."
There was a collective 'awe' from the girls as Blaine leans in and presses his lips again Kurt's in a firm, loving kiss. Kurt closes his eyes and smiles against his lips, cupping his cheek and pulling him closer, forgetting about the rest of the world. It was very easy to just get lost in Blaine, and that was one of the many things he positively loved about him. He takes him to another word without even trying. After a moment of kissing, someone clears their throat, but both boys ignore it. Kurt wraps his arms around Blaine's waist and smiles more against his lips, parting his own softly. Blaine simply slips his tongue into his mouth and lets out a soft moan, pulling him closer by the collar of his shirt.
"Wanky." Santana says with a smirks, leaning back in her chair.
"Okay, gross!" Finn shouts. "Dudes, please!"
Blaine laughs into the kiss and slowly pulls back, pressing their foreheads together. "I love you…"
"I love you too." Kurt smiles lovingly and pecks his lips once softly before, turning to the rest of the guests, blushing only slightly when he sees them staring. "Okay! Cake and presents!"
"Wow that was crazy!" Blaine announces happily later that night while Finn and Puck carry in all of the baby presents upstairs, making several trips. "Look at all this stuff! And the diapers!"
"I'm glad you had fun, sweetie." Kurt says softly, coming up behind him to wrap his arms around his belly and rest his chin on his shoulder. "See? We're more prepared now."
"We are." He smiles at the boys as they walk back down the stairs. "Thanks, guys. I really had a nice time today. And Finn? I'm sorry for being so rude earlier…"
"No problem, dude." Finn smiles and grabs his car keys. "Rachel acts like that before she gets her lady-thing every month, so I'm kind of used to being abused."
"No, seriously." Blaine smiles at him, leaning back against Kurt comfortably. "I'm really sorry. I don't think you're stupid, no matter how many times I've said it today."
"It's getting way too emotional in here." Sam says, shoving Finn a little toward the door. "He knows. Bye, Blaine, Kurt. The guys are having a night out."
"Yeah, you have the house to yourselves for a bit." Finn explains with a yawn. "Burt and mom went out to dinner again… and you know what they do after that, so it'll be a while."
"Noted." Kurt grins and calls after them. "Don't drink and drive!"
"Got it! Bye!"
The door closes and he hears Finn's car drive away.
"So…" Blaine says after a moment of silence, rocking slightly in Kurt's arms.
"So…" Kurt places a warm kiss against his neck and smiles against his skin.
"So, um… we have the house to ourselves for a few hours…"
"It seems that way, huh?"
"And your parents aren't here…"
"Oh?"
"Kurt!" Blaine turns around and wraps his arms around his neck, pressing their bodies as close as they would go with his big belly. "Stop it!"
"Stop what?" Kurt asks innocently, slipping his arms around his waist.
"Can we have sex?"
"No, of course not." He watches Blaine's eyes widen in horror and he laughs, shaking his head as he leans down for a kiss. "Ahhh, I'm kidding… kidding…" Their lips meet and his arms tighten around him.
"You're horrible." He mumbles into the kiss, sighing through his nose as he relaxes.
"Totally worth the look on your face." He grins against his lips and walks forward, pressing Blaine's back against the wall with a soft thud.
"Yeah, well… shut up."
