Carole was exhausted. It has been two days since Kurt was born and they get to take him home. Finn stayed with Burt's parents while she and Burt had been at the hospital and today is the first day Finn gets to see his new baby brother. Carole was holding a sleeping Kurt, and humming softly when there was a knock on the door. The door opened slowly and Finn's little head peeked inside the room. When he saw his mom he opened the door fully, ran in the room, and climbed up on the hospital bed with Carole. Carole made a shushing noise and pointed to the small bundle in her arms. Finn mumbled a sorry, and leaned to get a closer look at his brother. He got in close to inspect the small baby, and right when he was moving closer he sneezed, waking up the baby.
"I'm sorry!" Finn yelled, eyes tearing up. Carole held Kurt close and hummed for a second to stop the baby's cries. She looked at Finn and said
"It's okay honey. Why don't you go get a tissue to blow your nose? Grab one for me too please." Finn nodded, and hopped off the hospital bed. He walked around the room for a second looking for tissues, before finding them by the window. He got a tissue and blew his nose. Carole watched as Finn blew his nose, and then looked around the room realizing no one else was here but them. Her eyebrows scrunched together, and she looked back at Finn who had thrown his tissue away and was trying to reach the hand sanitizer on the wall.
"Finn, where are grandma and grandpa?" Finn, who had stopped trying to get hand sanitizer, was now walking back over to the bed with another tissue.
"They brought me here, and went to the gift place." He said handing the tissue over and climbing back up on the bed. Carole wiped off Kurt's face where Finn sneezed on him.
"Oh, okay. Did you have fun at grandma and grandpa's?" she asked Finn. Finn nodded enthusiastically, and told her everything they did over the last two days. After ten minutes of Finn telling her what he did, there was a light knock on the door and Burt's mother Helen poked her head inside.
"Hello dear, how are you doing?" she asked Carole coming into the room with blue balloons, and one saying 'It's a boy!" on it. Burt's father John came in after her smiling.
"I'm doing great! I hope you didn't have too much trouble with Finn." Helen waved her hand and shook her head.
"Finn was a sweetheart, we didn't have any trouble with him." She said smiling at Carole. "And how was the delivery? Did everything go alright?"
"The delivery went very well, no complications or nothing. We get to bring him home tonight actually." Helen, and John walked over to the side of the bed and Helen bent down to see the small bundle in Carole's arms.
"Oh my goodness, he is so precious! John, look at him!" Helen said beaming down at the baby. John looked at the baby and smiled softly remembering when his own son was born.
"What's my new grandson's name Carole?" Helen asked excitedly with her hands clasped in front of her.
"His name is Kurt, Kurt Elijah Hummel" Carole smiled and gazed down at Kurt. Finn scooted to his mom's side, and laid his head on her arm sucking his thumb.
"I like him mommy." Finn said around his thumb, while looking up at his mom. Carole smiled down at Finn, and looked up when the door opened. Burt walked in carrying a baby carrier, and a baby blue bunny with a teal bowtie around its neck. He smiled at everyone in the room, and set down the baby carrier.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" he asked while giving his parents, Finn, then Carole a hug and kissed Kurt's little head.
"It's been good son, where did you just come from?" John asked. Burt sat at the end of the bed and sighed.
"I had to drop by the shop to make sure everything was going alright. Then I went to get the baby carrier and I dropped by Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and saw this bunny." He held up the bunny. "I thought it was perfect for Kurt so I bought it." Finn crawled to his dad on the bed and inspected the bunny. Carole sat up straighter on her hospital bed, and looked at the clock on the wall.
"We should get ready to go since it's almost seven o'clock and we haven't had dinner yet." Burt stood up and walked towards the door.
"I'll go tell the nurse we're leaving and sign us out." Burt said then went out the door. Carole tried to get up with Kurt in her arms but found it difficult.
"Helen, would you hold Kurt while I get up and change?" Helen smiled happily and nodded. Carole carefully placed Kurt in to Helens arms. She stood up and walked over to the bag she brought with a change of clothes.
"Alright, I'm going to go change." Carole said ruffling Finn's hair and going into the bathroom. Helen smiled at Kurt and started to lightly rock side to side on her feet. Carole came out a minute later with sweatpants and one of Burt's shirts on.
"Okay, we are all signed out and we can go home!" Burt said walking into the room smiling. Carole looked up from packing her clothes into the bag, and smiled. Once they were all ready to leave and Kurt was in his baby carrier, they got onto the elevator to go to the main lobby.
Once they were home, Carole took Kurt out of the baby carrier and sat on the couch. Burt sat next to her and Carole lifted her feet up and placed them in Burt's lap. He started rubbing her feet, and watched as Finn curled up in the chair sucking his thumb.
"So what are we going to eat?" Carole asked Burt.
"I honestly have no idea, Finn, what do you want for dinner bud?" Burt asked Finn who looked up and shrugged lightly.
"Well, I need to feed Kurt too, so let's just go out to eat." Carole sighed and gazed at Kurt.
"Okay, well we had McDonald's the last time we ate out, so let's get something else. How about pizza?" Burt said looking at Carole who was still gazing at Kurt. Carole nodded and lifted her legs from Burt's lap to get up. She stood up, and walked over to Finn who had fallen into a light sleep with his thumb hanging out of his mouth. She lightly shook him and said,
"Honey wake up, we're getting pizza to eat for dinner." Finn opened his eyes slowly and sat up a little bit with his thumb still in his mouth.
"Okay, I'll just pick up a cheese pizza." Burt said as he stood. "Do you want to ride with me bud?" he asked Finn. Finn nodded his head and slid out of the chair.
"Okay boys, while your gone I'll feed Kurt and put him to bed. Be safe okay?" Carole said and kissed Burt lightly, before making her way up the stairs.
"We'll be back!" Burt yelled before picking Finn up and leaving out the door.
After Kurt had been fed, and put to sleep with a clean diaper, Carole started getting plates out of the cabinet. She heard car doors being shut and then the front door being opened.
"Honey we're home!" Burt yelled and was instantly shushed by Carole who pointed upstairs. Burt breathed a silent oops, and set the pizza box on the kitchen table.
After eating and putting Finn to bed, Burt and Carole were lying down; Carole already had fallen asleep, while Burt was desperately trying to fall asleep. After about ten minutes of drifting in and out of sleep, he heard cries coming from the crib inside their room. He peeled the covers back quickly and rushed to the crib picking Kurt up and leaving the room quickly to not wake up Carole.
"What's wrong bud?" Burt asked silently while descending the stairs carefully. He sat on the couch with Kurt in his arms and rubbed the little baby's back soothingly. As Kurt stopped crying, Burt gazed at his new son captivated by the blue eyes. Burt sat with his back against the arm on the couch and his legs were lying on the couch in front of him. He started playing with one of Kurt's small hands and after a few minutes Kurt's hand clasped around one of his fingers. Burt smiled down at Kurt and held him closer to his chest. After a few moments he felt his eyes start to droop and fell into a light sleep.
Carole woke up and saw Burt wasn't in bed with her. She stood up and walked over to the crib and noticed Kurt was missing too. She looked around confused for a moment before opening the door and going downstairs. When she got to the last step, she looked into the living room and smiled. Burt was sleeping with Kurt in his arms who was also asleep. Before she woke Burt up, she went back up into their room and grabbed their camera to take a picture. She lightly shook Burt up and motioned to the stairs. He nodded and slowly got up, and moved slowly up the stairs so he wouldn't wake up Kurt. As Carole was lying in bed she thought back to what she saw in the living room. She smiled fondly and she knew Kurt would grow up to be a daddy's boy.
