Hah, it's really late but I finally finished this one and I didn't want to make you wait for another day.
Thank you for reading and reviewing, you make me really happy (and type faster:)).
"Are you sure you won't need me?" Blaine asked one day as they were cleaning up the apartment. Well, Blaine made it, Kurt just instructed him from his place on the couch.
It was Thursday, only one day before Kurt's dad came to visit his son and Blaine left for the holidays to visit his own family in Ohio. Since it became almost 100 percent sure that they won't lose their baby, they decided it was time to inform their families about it.
"Yes. My dad will help me" Kurt said and watched as Blaine mopped up in the living room. "Besides, your parents expect you to show up at that party."
Blaine hummed unhappily. The last thing he needed was that damn party.
"What if your dad will be angry and leave you here alone? You still need bed rest" Blaine said, hoping he could come up with something so he don't have to go home.
"He won't" Kurt replied. "You know him, he's not like that. Yeah, he'll be disappointed and maybe angry, too, but he wouldn't leave me here alone in this state."
"But I should be here when you tell him, right? You know... giving you support and-and promise him that I won't leave you and I'll help you with the baby and..."
Kurt waved him down.
"I need to talk to him alone. This is the best for all of us" Kurt said. He knew very well that Blaine would do everything if it meant he didn't have to go home.
"Fine" Blaine sighed and finished his work. Then he went back to the couch and flopped down beside Kurt, grabbing his phone. "What do you want for your last dinner?"
Kurt laughed.
"He won't kill me" he said, still smiling. "Uhm, I don't know. Maybe..."
"Cheeseburger" Blaine finished for him. "Got it."
Kurt smiled.
"You always know what I want" he said and Blaine laughed.
"It's not that hard. You always want cheeseburger."
"Not always!" Kurt protested.
"Okay. Sometimes you want pickles with something absolutely not matching. Better?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah" Kurt said. "Speaking about pickles... Do we have some strawberry jam?"
"Please, don't say you want to eat them together" Blaine said and grimanced.
"Why not? They're delicious" Kurt said and imagined the taste of the pickles and the jam together.
"Okay, let's order before I throw up" Blaine said and called the restaurant quickly, before Kurt could say more about his weird cravings.

Blaine left the next morning. He tried to come up with an excuse so he didn't have to go home but in the end he had to go. Now Kurt was alone in his apartment, waiting for his dad to arrive. He didn't tell him why he couldn't go to the airport and he knew Burt'll ask him the moment he steps into the apartment. Kurt was nervous and he couldn't sit still on the bed, he started pacing. He knew his father'll be sad and disappointed, maybe angry, too. He always taught Kurt to be responsible.
Kurt jumped when the doorbell rang. It was time to face his father. He took a deep breath and walked to the door.
"Hi" Burt greeted him with a wide smile and hugged his son. "It's good to see you, son."
"You too, Dad" Kurt said and pulled away. "Come in!"
Burt nodded and grabbed his suitcase. He stepped into the living room, put down his package and turned back to his son who stayed back to close the door.
"I'm sorry I'm late but it was hard to get a cab" Burt said. Kurt didn't really pay attention, he was so worried about telling his father about the baby.
"Well, you're here now. Do you want something to drink?" Kurt asked, biting his lip.
"I can help myself" Burt said and went into the kitchen, with Kurt following him. "So why couldn't you come to the airport?"
"Dad, can we sit down first?" Kurt asked desperately. He was running out of time and it was harder to breath with every second.
"Okay" Burt nodded.
They went back into the living room and sat down. Burt waited for his son to speak but Kurt looked down and didn't say anything.
"Okay, I'm getting nervous. Is something wrong? You know you can tell me, Kurt" the man said. Kurt looked upand and his eyes met his father's. Then the pregnancy hormones kicked in and he started crying.
"I'm sorry, Dad" he said. Burt was confused and there were dozens of horrible things running through his mind.
"What happened, Kurt? Just tell me, it can't be so bad" he said and sat closer to Kurt to give him comfort.
"I have to tell you something and you'll be angry, and you've every right because I did something I shouldn't have" Kurt said quickly.
"Kurt, you're my son. I won't be angry. But tell me because I'm getting really nervous and you know my heart can't take it" Burt replied.
Kurt took a deep breath and wipped his tears.
"I-I'm pregnant" he said quietly.
Burt stared at him for a few seconds with opened mouth. He didn't know what to say.
"I-I know I made a mistake but the baby's here a-and I love it and I'll keep it" Kurt stuttered.
"What did Jason say?" Burt asked the first thing that came into his mind. He knew his son and his boyfriend broke up long weeks ago but that didn't have to mean they couldn't raise the child together.
But Kurt just cried harder and he knew he said something wrong.
"It's not Jason's" Kurt said.
"What?" Burt shouted in surprise and almost jumped up.
"I know, I know, it just... I had a few really bad weeks, and then at the wedding..."
Kurt sighed and tried to stop his tears.
"Do you know the other father?" Burt asked carefully. He was disappointed, he raised his child to be more careful, but he saw how bad Kurt felt and he couldn't bear it.
"It's Blaine" Kurt said and didn't look into his father's eyes.
"Wait. Blaine? Your ex-fiancé Blaine?" Burt asked. "But I thought you didn't even see him after you broke up!"
Kurt sighed. It was time to tell his father the details.
"I... When I went home last time... We met at the wedding. And... and it just happened" Kurt said quietly.
Burt rubbed his forehead.
"I knew it was only matter of time" he muttered. Kurt frowned.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Come on, you know you can't fool me. You said it was a good decision, that you were too young, but I know you couldn't get over him. You barely dated anyone and then you jumped into a relationship you knew would end badly" Burt answered honestly. Kurt looked down again and bit his lip. His father knew him too well.
"You're right. I tried to assure myself that I made a good decision, that my relationship with Blaine didn't work, but I always had the feeling I made a mistake."
Kurt closed his eyes, thinking back to that horrible evening, when he had told Blaine they should call off the engagement, when Blaine had told him he would never forgive him...
"I think life gave you another chance to start over" Burt said, pulling Kurt back into the present. "Just don't screw up, okay?"
Kurt smiled. His father was the wisest man he knew and he was always right.
"I won't Dad."

" Blaine! Dinner is ready!"
Blaine sighed and closed the book he tried to read. Since he got back from New York, he only came out from his room to use the bathroom. He knew his parents didn't mind. Cooper got home for the holidays, too, and he just kept telling them stories about his new show, so they didn't really miss Blaine. But there was something Blaine had to tell his family. The baby. It was time for them to know about it.
He went down to meet the others in the dining room.
"It was about time" his father muttered from where he was sitting in the farest end of the room. Blaine didn't say anything, just sat down and stared down to his plate.
The others started eating and talking, but Blaine didn't pay attention. All he could think about was the baby and how he should tell his family about it.
"Blaine?"
Blaine looked up with wide eyes. Everybody was staring at him and he didn't know what they were talking about.
"I'm sorry. Did you ask something?" he asked from his mother.
"What's wrong with you, son? You didn't say a single word since you got home and you barely touched your dinner" Pam Anderson said.
Blaine gulped. It was time.
"There's something I have tell you" he sighed.
"And what is it?" his mother asked and reached out to grab her son's hand.
"I... I'm gonna be a father" he said simply.
If he still had been a teenager, he would definitely enjoy the look on his father's face. First he looked like he didn't believe him, staring at Blaine with wide eyes, then he looked angry, and then almost happy.
"I thought you're gay" his father said. He felt relieved that his son found a woman for himself at least.
"I am" Blaine replied, ruining his father's thughts about a normal family.
"You should have waited for a little longer to find a boyfriend first. How could you even find a surrogate as a single man with barely enough work experience and money?" his mother asked.
"I didn't need a surrogate" Blaine replied, his eyes never leaving his father.
"It's a carrier" his mother whispered when she was out of other options. Blaine finally turned away from his father to look at his mother in surprise.
"How do you know?" he asked.
"I met one when I was pregnant with you. We gave birth on the same day" his mother said.
"This is disgusting" Blaine's father spat out.
"John..." Blaine's mother started but the man waved her down.
"No! I tried to accept his... weird behaviour because I thought he'll grow out of it someday, but I can't take more. I don't want him to have a freak with another man!" John Anderson shouted in the end. Blaine jumped up.
"How dare you call my child a freak?" he yelled.
"Blaine, calm down..." his mother said but Blaine didn't even hear her. He stepped to his father and grabbed his shirt roughly.
"I shouldn't have let you transfer to Dalton. You should have stayed in your old school where the other students could teach you the lesson" Blaine's father said and pushed Blaine away.
"What kind of lesson, Dad? How to be straight? Can't you finally understand that this is who I am? I was born this way, you can't change me!" Blaine yelled and stepped closer to his dad again. This time, though, Cooper jumped up from his seat and stepped between the two men.
"You should calm down and then talk about it again" he suggested.
"No. I don't want to talk about it. I don't even want him to stay in my house" John said, looking into Blaine's eyes.
"Fine" Blaine said and stepped back. "I'll go."
His mother stood up quickly and grabbed his arm before Blaine could leave the room.
"Please, don't go" she said and turned around to face her husband. "Blaine's our son, no matter what happens. And I'm happy our sons are here with us, I want to spend the weekend with my whole family. You can't kick him out."
John clentched his fists in anger.
"Then enjoy his company" he said and left the room, slamming the door behind him.
"I'm sorry, Mom" Blaine said when he saw tears appearing in her eyes.
"Don't be, honey. It's not your fault your father is so narrow minded" she said, forcing out a smile. "So I'm gonna be a grandmother?"
"And I'm gonna be an uncle!" Cooper said happily. "I can't wait to teach my nephew my acting techniques."
"We don't know the gender yet. It can be a girl" Blaine pointed out.
"Of course it's a boy! I feel it here deep inside" Cooper said and put his hand over his heart. "Was it good? Because I have an audition for a role in a romantic movie next week. I want it to be... original."
Blaine rolled his eyes.

"Kurt, sit down" Burt said when he stepped into the kitchen to find Kurt working on their dinner. His son told him about his endangered pregnancy and that he had to stay in bed. Cooking dinner was absolutely not something he should do.
"Five more minutes, Dad. I want you to have something healthy" Kurt answered and grimanced as he looked down at the vegetables. He was still sick from them, especially from the broccoli. He checked if they were ready and quickly turned away.
"I can finish it. You taught me how to cook, remember?" Burt said as he took the kitchen spoon from Kurt's hand. The younger man sighed and sat down.
"When will Blaine come back? I want to talk to him before I leave" Burt said and finished his dinner.
"Do you really have to?" Kurt asked. He knew Blaine had a bad weekend and he didn't want him to have a talk with his father when he finally comes back.
"Yes" Burt said firmly. "He's the father of my grandchild after all and I know you're happy with your current relationship but we have to talk about what you'll do after the baby's birth."
Kurt sighed. He so not wanted to talk about it in the presence of his father.
"Just don't scare him away" he said finally.
"I won't. I promise" Burt smiled. "So what do you want for dinner?"
"Oh, I have some pickles and ice cream left, I'll just have that" Kurt said and Burt looked like he was going to be sick.
"You're not serious, right?" he asked.
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad!" Kurt said and shook his head. Why couldn't the others understand that pickles and sweets made a very good pairing?
The Hummels went to bed early after dinner. They watched TV for a while but Kurt was tired from all the worrying and Burt needed a good sleep after the news, too. Kurt fell asleep fast but he woke up a few hours later, feeling that something wasn't right. He wasn't in pain but he couldn't go back to sleep. He got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom in darkness. When he turned on the light in the bathroom and saw his reflexion in the mirror, he almost screamed. He saw dark marks on the front of his pyjama pants and he quickly pulled them down.
"No" he whispered when he found blood all over his legs. "No! Dad! Dad, please, wake up!"
He fell to his knees and felt tears streaming down his face.
"What happened?" Burt asked just a second later, when he rushed into the bathroom.
"We-we have to... to go... hospital... I'm bleeding" Kurt stuttered.
"God" Burt whispered when he saw the blood on Kurt's pants. He knew it could only mean something really bad.

"Are you excited?" Blaine's mother asked.
They moved into the living room after dinner and Blaine told them everything about the baby and Kurt. His mother and Cooper took it surprisingly well. Pam was excited to finally have a grandchild and believed her son and Kurt could raise their son and daughter happily.
"I think I am" Blaine said hesitantly. He knew he could tell his mother about his feelings and he really wanted to. "To be honest, I'm afraid. I don't know how this baby'll change my life. And it's scary that I have to take care of my daughter or son. I'm still so irresponsible sometimes, what if I'll do something wrong?"
His mother laughed.
"Honey, you will make things wrong. But it's okay, there's no perfect parent. The first few weeks'll be hard but if you listen to your instincts, it'll be fine. And you can always call me if you need help" Pam reassured his son.
"Thank you, Mom" Blaine said.
He had a few questions but before he could ask her mother, his phone started ringing. He took it out from his pocket and frowned. It was Kurt. But what did he want in the middle of the night?
"Hey, Kurt" he greeted the caller with a smile that faded immediately. "Burt? What's wrong?" He listened to Burt's words and he turned paler and paler with every second. "I'm on my way."
He disconnected the call and jumped up from the couch.
"What's wrong?" Cooper asked when Blaine almost fell over his own bag.
"Kurt's in the hospital" he said and looked around. "Where is my wallet?" He knew he left it somewhere here.
"Calm down, you won't have a flight in the middle of the night" Cooper said and grabbed Blaine's wallet from the table.
"I have to get to him now!" Blaine almost shouted. He shouldn't have left Kurt. He should have been there to help him.
"Okay. I'll take you to the airport" Cooper said and grabbed his keys, too.
"Be careful, boys" their mother said as her sons rushed out of the room.
Blaine almost cried as he got into Cooper's car. Burt only told him that Kurt was bleeding and they're in the hospital. They didn't know if the baby was fine and Blaine knew if Kurt would lose the baby, he would never forgive himself for leaving him alone.
