Hello dear readers!
Here is the third chapter with an unexpected person from the past. Enjoy!
Kurt spent his whole afternoon with drinking apple juice and running into the bathroom to make pregnancy tests. He used all of the sticks because he read that it might show false positive, so he had to be sure. And after making all of the pregnancy tests and having eight positive results, he started to believe he was really pregnant.
"I'm gonna be a dad" he whispered to his reflexion in the mirror. He pulled up his shirt and started study his flat stomach. Soon, it will be huge like he had eaten a whole watermelon in one piece.
He called Isabelle the next morning to let her know he wasn't going to go to work and went to the nearest ob-gyn clinic to make sure he was pregnant. He didn't have an appointment, so he had to wait till one of the doctors could check him. A nurse took blood sample from him and now he was sitting in the waiting room. There were pregnant women everywhere he looked. They were happy, stroking their bellies and changing loving looks with their husbands. Kurt felt sick. He didn't even think about telling Blaine about the pregnancy. It'll be hard.
"Kurt Hummel?" the nurse called him and he quickly got to his feet and followed the woman into the examiner room.
"Take off your clothes and take this" she said, handing him a green hospital shirt. He took it up and went to the bed.
"Just lay down and feel comfortable. Doctor Smythe will be here in any minute" the nurse said and walked out. Kurt jumped up from the bed with wide eyes.
"Doctor who?"
But the nurse was already gone. He started pacing in the small room, convincing himself that the surname 'Smythe' wasn't so rare. The last thing he needed into his life right now was Sebastian Smythe.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" he heard the too familiar voice behind him. He turned around slowly, muttering a 'no way' and ready to face Sebastian after all these years.
"Sebastian! I should say that it's good to see you again, but I don't like lieing" he said with gritted teeth. Somebody must hate him up there.
"And what an unlikely place for you, huh?" Sebastian smiled widely, showing his horse teeth.
"Yeah, about that. I'll come back later. It's really not that urgent" Kurt said and walked back to the folding screen to get his clothes.
"Oh, come on, Kurt. I'm not that bad anymore, remember? And I have news about your baby" Sebastian said as he went after Kurt, showing the papers in his hand.
"Is everything okay?" Kurt asked. Yes, he hated Sebastian but he had to know if his baby was fine.
"I have to check it with ultrasound" Sebastian replied, still smiling. This will be so much fun.
"Fine" Kurt sighed and went back to the bed. He sat down hesitantly.
"Lay down and pull up your shirt" Sebastian ordered and started pressing buttons on the ultrasound machine. After spreading ice-cold gel on Kurt's stomach, Sebastian started moving a probe up and down slowly.
"What do you see?" Kurt asked because Sebastian's 'interesting' mutter was frightening.
"Sorry, I never saw male pregnancy before" Sebastian said and continued examining Kurt.
"But what do you see?" Kurt asked impatiently. All he could see was a black splotch in the middle of the screen.
"I see the gestational sac, that's the black thing on the screen. There will be your baby for the next eight month" Sebastian explained. "I don't see the embryo, though. You should be around your fifth week."
"And when will you be able to see it? There's... there's nothing wrong, right?" Kurt asked in concern.
"You should come back next week. We'll make another ultrasound and if we're lucky enough, we'll see more" Sebastian said. Kurt wasn't convinced at all. "The HCG level in your blood was perfect. You don't have to worry."
Kurt nodded slowly. So one week. He can do this.
"Thank you, Sebastian" he said quietly and got up to get dressed again.
"And who's the lucky other dad? Do I know him?" Sebastian asked conversationally.
"It's none of your business" Kurt muttered and got into his tight pants.
"Don't say it's Blaine" Sebastian replied and Kurt sent him a murderous look when he walked back.
"It is. Are you happy?" Kurt asked exasperatedly.
"Wow! I don't believe your silly high school romance lasted so long" Sebastian said, smiling.
"We're not together" Kurt muttered, looking down. It just came out, he hoped Sebastian didn't hear him. But he did.
"It's getting better and better. Tell me the details, Hummel" he smiled. Kurt was close to punch him, so he quickly ripped his papers out of Saebastian's hand and walked out without saying goodbye.

Waiting for a whole week was harder than Kurt thought. He didn't go to work because it was hard to get out of the bed with the constant nausea and tiredness. He didn't tell Isabelle why he needed a few days off, he only told her that he had to rest, but she was happy that he finally took out a few days.
Kurt spent his days with searching informations about the male pregnancies on the internet. Although he never met carriers he found a lot of stories now. Most of them were joyful, the babies were born healthily and the families lived happily. But it wasn't always the case. As he visited various forums, he found couples who lost their babies during the pregnancy. As he read more about miscarriage, he started panicking that it could happen to him, too, so he closed the website fast and decided that he won't read more about the pregnancy until his next appointment.
Blaine tried to call him a few times but he avoided him. He sent Blaine a text that he was busy and he will call him soon and he hoped the man would understand. Kurt didn't want to meet him before the next ultrasound. If everything is okay, he has to tell Blaine anyway. He didn't even think about abortion, he wanted this baby, even if Blaine didn't.
Finally, the week was over and Kurt got up early to get ready for his appointment. He wasn't happy to meet Sebastian again but he didn't find a new doctor in the past days, so he had no other options. He arrived early but he was Sebastian's first patient that day and he didn't have to way too long.
"How is my favourite gay preggo doing?" Sebastian asked as he stepped into the examiner room. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Do you really care?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No" Sebastian sighed and started moving the probe on Kurt's stomach.
"I don't understand why you chose a job like this" Kurt muttered.
"Because I'm well paid and I don't have to do much for it. Now would you shut up for a minute? I try to work here" Sebastian replied, pressing buttons with his free hand.
Kurt turned away from him and watched the screen beside him. The black patch was bigger now than a week earlier and there was something white in it. And in the middle of the white thing, there was a pulsing point.
"What's that?" he asked, unable to lay there in silence.
"The small white patch is your baby" Sebastian said, typing the most important informations for himself. "And I can see the heartbeat now, it's that pulsing point on the screen."
Kurt fixed his eyes on the screen. There was his baby. It was small and absolutely not baby-like, but it was there. He started crying.
"Oh, no, no, no" Sebastian said. "Stop crying! I can't stand it."
"Isn't it beautiful?" Kurt asked, unable to stop his tears. Those damn hormones.
"With your genes in it? I wouldn't say. But if you're lucky enough it won't have your voice" Sebastian said and finished the paperwork, not looking at Kurt who stared at him resentfully.
"Okay, are we done?" Kurt asked and stood up hastily.
"Yes, everything is fine so far but I want to check on you every month. Male pregnancies are more difficult and there's a bigger chance for miscarriage" Sebastian said as he handed Kurt the papers and pictures. Kurt's eyes widened immediately.
"What should I do to prevent it?" he asked.
"Don't smoke, don't drink alcohol and don't run marathons" Sebastian said boredly. He had to answer this questions every time.
"Thank you" Kurt muttered and went to the door.
"And what did Blaine say? Is he happy? I bet he jumped out of his skin when you told him" Sebastian called after him. Kurt pretended like he didn't hear the questions and bolted out of the room.

"I'm pregnant" Kurt whispered and shook his head immediately. "Too short. Remember the night of Quinn and Puck's wedding and the amazing sex we had that night? Well, I started having weird cravings and... No, too much."
He shook his head again, staring into the mirror. He called Blaine when he got home from the clinic and they agreed to meet that evening in the nearby bar. He only had one problem: he had no idea how to tell Blaine about the baby.
"It's really not that simple, right?" he said, stroking his stomach. He knew that the baby was only a quarter of an inch long, but he already loved it. He couldn't wait to have his baby in his arms.
"Let's get ready for the talk with your daddy" he said and stepped to the wardrobe to pick out his clothes.
Twenty minutes later Kurt stepped out of his apartment. He made sure he had the sonograms with him, so he had something to show Blaine. He was so nervous he could hardly lock the door behind him with his shaking hands. When he finally did it, he was already late and had to hurry.
He arrived more than ten minutes late and he rushed into the bar. Blaine was there, sitting at the counter with a glass of wine.
"I'm so sorry" Kurt said and hugged Blaine briefly.
"No problem, I only arrived a few minutes before you" Blaine smiled. "Do you want some wine?"
"No!" Kurt said a little too quickly. "I mean, no, thank you. I'll just get some apple juice for myself."
He wanted to order his drink but Blaine was faster. He smiled again as he handed Kurt his drink.
"Thank you" Kurt said as he took the glass into his hand.
"We should find a table, it's more comfortable" Blaine suggested.
They only had to take a few steps to the next free table. Kurt sat down, Blaine following him, sitting down right next to him. Kurt pulled back a little to have more distance between them.
"So, you wanted to talk about something" Blaine said and tried to hide his disappointment.
"Yeah. I... I have to tell you something. Something really important" Kurt started, his practiced speech completely forgotten.
"Okay. What is it?" Blaine asked with a smile.
Kurt took a deep breath. Then another. And another. It was so hard to begin.
"Come on, Kurt. You can tell me everything. I'm here for you" Blaine said. Kurt took another deep breath and finally started speaking.
"Do you remember that night in Lima?" he asked and he knew instantly that it was a bad start as Blaine's smile widened. "I... I started feeling bad after that... Okay, it's not important. What I wanted to tell you i-is I'mpregnant" he finished quickly. Blaine looked at him in confusion.
"I don't understand" he said.
"I'm pregnant" Kurt said quietly. He looked into Blaine's comically round eyes and waited.
Silence.
"And the baby is yours" he added quickly.
Silence.
"Blaine, please, say something" he pleaded.
Silence.
"Blaine, I'm freaking out here!"
Blaine blinked and looked into Kurt's eyes.
"I... are you sure?" he asked. He didn't know what to say.
"Yes" Kurt sighed and took out the sonogram pictures. "I went to the doctor. The baby is completely healthy."
Blaine took the pictures from Kurt and watched the little white patch on it.
"Please, say something" Kurt whispered.
Blaine stared down at the picture for a long moment, not sure what to say. It was like a nightmare.
"How is it possible?" he asked finally.
"I'm a carrier. I didn't know, not until my first visit in the clinic" Kurt answered.
"How long do you know? I mean, about the baby" Blaine asked, biting his lip.
"For about a week. I made a few pregnancy tests because I wasn't feeling well and then I went to the doctor but he didn't see anything, so I had to go back today..."
Blaine cut in suddenly.
"So you've known about it for a week and you didn't say anything to me?" he asked angrily.
"I wanted to make sure the baby was fine before talking to you" Kurt answered honestly. He didn't know why Blaine was acting like this. Of course he understood that the other man was dumbfounded but he didn't force him to help him raise the child.
Blaine remained silent, biting his lip again.
"I think we should decide together what to do with it" he said finally. "You should have called me days ago and not avoid my calls."
"Blaine, I'm really sorry..." Kurt started but Blaine didn't let him finish the sentence.
"It's not so simple! It's my life, too" he almost shouted, causing the other customers to look into their way.
"Blaine, calm down" Kurt hissed. The man took a deep breath and when he spoke up again, his voice was softer.
"Okay. Let's see this realistically. We're not together, we don't live together, we didn't plan this baby and we don't want it. I think you should get an abortion."
Kurt almost burst out into tears. That was the last thing he expected.
"You're wrong. I want this baby. We never planned it but I'm not able to do something like this. I'll keep this baby whether you want it or not. I just wanted to know your opinion and I think I get it."
Kurt jumped up from the table and started walkig towards the door.
"Kurt! Kurt, come back! We have to talk about this!" he heard Blaine's voice but didn't listen to it.
He slammed the door behind him and turned right, walking quickly away from the bar and Blaine, with tears falling freely from his eyes.
Please, don't hate me.
