"Happy Anniversary!" everyone shouted simultaneously as Kurt and Blaine stepped into the Hudmel residence on one of their trips back home. They agreed to spend their anniversary in Ohio, it was their first one after all. Kurt and Blaine couldn't say they were surprised, but they acted appropriately and gave everyone a hug, although it was kind of hard to get close to Rachel with her arms wrapped around a small, cooing newborn. She and Finn had gotten married a year before Kurt and Blaine had. Blaine thought 25 was still a bit young to be starting a family, but hey, it wasn't his place to judge.

They caught up with old friends, they had invited Jeff, Nick, David and Wes and their girlfriends and of course, all of New Directions. As the party died down, Kurt took Chase into his arms and smiled down at him, Blaine felt a strange tightening in his chest as he leaned against the wall. He felt someone bump his arm and he looked over to see Burt looking from him to Kurt and raising an eyebrow.

"You guys thinkin' about it?" he asked, clearly expecting Blaine to understand what he meant. Blaine sort of choked

"Babies?" he whispered, wide eyed "it's…we're only 25…we've been married for a year, I don't think I could…" Burt laughed

"Calm down, I agree, it's no big deal." He put a hand on Blaine's shoulder "I was just askin'" Blaine nodded

"I'd love to have kids with Kurt, really, but…just not right now." Blaine sighed, Kurt caught his eye, smiled and began to walk over. Burt easily slipped away to talk to Carole.

"Blaine, look." He said, motioning down to the baby "he's got Finn's eyes." Blaine gazed down at the baby and smiled

"Look at that, he does." He laughed as Chase smiled "hey little guy," he sing-songed, brushing his fingertips across his tiny knuckles.

"Wanna hold him?" Kurt asked quietly, Blaine's eyes widened

"Uhm…I don't know…"

"C'mon, he doesn't bite." Kurt laughed

"I'm awkward with babies," Blaine continued "toddlers, I can do, they can talk and tell you what's wrong and…" Kurt held the little bundle out to him, and despite his own protests, he took him. He tried his best to cradle Chase safe in his arms. Now Kurt leaned against the wall as Blaine slowly rocked the baby in his arms.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kurt said softly "you look like a natural." Blaine smiled, Chase was beginning to fall asleep.

oOo

"Blaine…" Kurt whispered as they lay in Kurt's old bed, now converted to a guest room, that night. 'Oh no.' Blaine thought, knowing exactly what was coming next and wishing he could just pretend to be asleep.

"Yes?" he answered, feeling Kurt snuggle closer into him

"You know how you were so good with Chase tonight?" He took a breath "and I was thinking…"

"That you want a baby?" Blaine finished for him, turning to look Kurt in the eyes. Kurt nodded slowly, biting his lip "Kurt…" Blaine sighed, closing his eyes for a second "I want to have kids with you, nothing would make me happier, and I intend on doing that someday…just not right now." Kurt looked down, Blaine tilted his chin back up "I want to take you places, travel, see the world and do the kids thing later, when we feel we've had enough and want a whole new kind of adventure." He hated the fact that Kurt's eyes were filled with tears. "I didn't want to hurt your feelings, Kurt…"

"No, no…it's just…I'm afraid you'll change your mind." Kurt said softly, wiping at his eyes "what if in a few years, you decide you don't want kids" Blaine smiled

"I promise that will never happen. Having kids with you is something I can't give up on, Kurt." He leaned in and gave Kurt a deep, long kiss. "Happy Anniversary."

(AUTHORS NOTE: another shorty-short chapter! Just a snippet, cause I'll be doing short little snippets of all their travels in the next chapter and I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE ABOUT BABIES! But anyway, I also have a question for you guys, how would you feel about a Klaine war story? I've been mulling it over and I decided I really like the idea of a WWII soldier Blaine (even though gay soldiers were strictly prohibited and that just makes it 'forbidden' and romantic and I'm rambling blah blah) so yeah…how does that make ya'll feel? Leave me a comment and tell me if it's a yay or nay and what you thought about this chapter AND WHAT YOUTHINK ABOUT DA BABIES *heart*)
