"Home…a house, our house." Blaine smiled widely and stared at it. It wasn't too big, but it was a good size for a family, preferably a family with four members. Kurt, of course, had decorated the interior, and it looked amazing. For a bit they had considered relocating it back to Ohio, but ultimately decided that they had it too good in New York. Kurt's fashion dreams had taken off, faster and sooner than either of them had suspected, and with the money he and Blaine were making, Blaine being a Broadway performer. Not that Kurt was really surprised by that one, he'd always known Blaine would make it big. They decided they were stable, and ready, and willing to adopt. They'd decided they wanted a baby, too feel like she was theirs from the beginning. And after much searching they'd found someone. They went through the legal stuff and when it was time, Kurt and Blaine were at the hospital, and as soon as the baby was born…the mother gave up. She had explained to them that she wanted to keep her, and apologized profusely. Kurt and Blaine had nodded in understanding, and left. Neither of them said a word during the car ride home.
Kurt had saved his tears for late that night when he thought Blaine was asleep. He sat in the room they'd prepared for their little girl. Blaine, of course, was not asleep as Kurt had assumed, and went to find Kurt when he felt him leave the bed.
"Kurt…" he said, kneeling in front of his crying husband in the baby's room. Blaine pulled him into his arms and gently rubbed his back.
"I thought…I thought it would work out." Kurt whispered and Blaine kissed his forehead and leaned his own wet cheek on Kurt's head.
"I know, I know…"
oOo
Months later, they were back out there again. They decided they had better chances of finding someone if it was publicized, so they put an ad in the paper. They hadn't heard anything so far, so of course, Blaine was surprised when a girl approached him outside a café.
"Excuse me…" she said timidly, Blaine stopped and turned to smile at her
"Hi." He said, thinking that she had seen his show or something,
"Could I talk to you for a minute?" she asked, and then Blaine noticed the newspaper clutched in her hands. He nodded and pulled out a chair for her and sat down in his own. "I'm Amy." She said, holding out a hand, which Blaine shook. "I saw your ad and it was kind of perfect. I mean, you guys want a baby, and I just…can't." she shook her head
"Hey, it's okay" he said, reflexively reaching out and taking her hand from across the table, he did feel bad for her. Amy couldn't have been more than 16, a baby was no responsibility for a teenager. "Have you told your parents? Talked to them about it?"
"Yes…they think adoption is a good choice, they just they don't know who I'm contacting for the adoption…the parent's I mean." Blaine was confused, why would that matter…oh. He and Kurt were gay. Well, they couldn't really completely escape prejudice, could they?
"Oh." Was all he said
"Please don't write me off!" Amy begged "I saw your ad and researched you and read a few articles. You're a Broadway star, so you're pretty much stable, and you love your husband." Blaine smiled softly "and…really, it's not fair for you to be denied a baby because of your…preference." Blaine decided that he liked Amy.
"Amy, I'd like you to meet Kurt, if you don't mind." He said "We have a house not that far from here, I could drive you." She relaxed, and smiled
"Alright."
oOo
Blaine opened the door and he and Amy stepped in, closing the door behind them.
"You better have brought me a muffin!" Kurt yelled as he came down the stairs
"I've got something better!" Blaine called back, as Kurt came into view and froze, taking in the obviously pregnant teenage girl standing next to his husband.
"oh." He squeaked, the girl was small, shorter than Blaine, with light brown hair and green eyes and a smattering of freckles across her nose.
"Hi." She smiled shyly "I'm Amy."
"I'm Kurt," he smiled brightly "nice to meet you"
"You too"
oOo
"Amy," Kurt said a few weeks later as they held a meeting with their lawyer "we have to be absolutely sure you're going to do this…" Amy didn't really understand the expression on his face
"Of course I am…I can't keep this baby, Kurt, I just…I'm only 16."
"Amy, we're not doubting you it's just…we've done this before, and the mother ended up keeping the baby." Blaine explained, taking Kurt's hands
"I promise, guys…you don't have to worry." She smiled and patted her stomach "all yours."
oOo
Blaine got a call as he was driving home after work.
"BLAINE!" Kurt's voice was on the other end "get your ass to the hospital!"
"What? Amy? But…not for another two weeks."
"Apparently not, Blaine, I think you'd better hurry!" he said and hung up. Blaine tried with all his might to obey the traffic laws, despite how much he wanted to speed through every red light on the way to the hospital.
When he got there, he had to sit in the waiting room. Amy had specifically requested to have Kurt in there with her, so Blaine was to fend for himself until the baby was born.
"First time dad?" a guy, sitting in the chair next to him, asked. Blaine nodded and continued bouncing his leg anxiously. "It's awesome…kids, they think you're some kind of superhero." He smiled "it's the best feeling in the world" Blaine smiled and allowed the warmth of that statement to spread throughout him. Six awful, agonizingly slow hours later Kurt emerged from the room, looking tired, and his hair was actually messed up. Blaine looked up at him, and through the tiredness he saw a sparkle in his husband's eyes.
"We…we have a baby girl." Kurt whispered, the guy sitting next to Blaine smiled and clapped him on the shoulder. Blaine laughed and followed Kurt into the room. Amy looked ten times worse than Kurt, but she was also smiling. Blaine walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead.
"Thank you, Amy…you don't know how much this means to us." She smiled up at him tiredly
"Blaine…is it too much to ask to see her every once in a while…like holidays and stuff?" she asked, biting at her lip. Kurt turned around at that
"Absolutely, Amy, you can come see her whenever you want."
"Aunt Amy." Blaine chuckled as the girl sighed in contentment, closing her eyes.
"Blaine," Kurt called softly "come hold your daughter." Blaine swallowed the lump in his throat and went over to where Kurt was standing. In the little cradle was the most beautiful thing Blaine had ever seen. Her skin was pink, and almost as pale as Kurt's and her hair was almost his color also, just a bit lighter.
"She hasn't opened her eyes yet…I don't know what color." Kurt whispered as Blaine picked her up carefully into his arms.
"What did you name her?" he asked, knowing the nurse had already asked that, they'd been stuck between two names, either of which Blaine would have been okay with.
"Delilah." Kurt said and Blaine's eyes softened, because he knew that was the right choice.
"Delilah…" he whispered, and she yawned, wiggling a bit and opened her eyes, which was sort of a shock to both the men. She had hazel eyes…just like Blaine. He laughed
"Can you believe this?" he asked "she just might look like us, too."
"That just makes her more ours." Kurt said, smiling down at the new addition to their little family.
(AUTHORS NOTE: Going through these chapters, I'm kind of realizing that I'm barely following a plot…and considering that the former plot was about Danny and how much of a douche bag he was… it doesn't even seem like the same story anymore. So let's all pretend like I know what I'm doing and enjoy these little blurbs of randomness, yeah? Good. Reviews would be nice!)
