Love in the Air

AN: Hi everyone! Once again thank you for the wonderful reviews! There is a time jump in this chapter, we're moving along with the story and this begins the next story arc. Also I'm sorry for any errors, I triple check each chapter but I don't have a beta so some errors slip by and I apologize for that.

That episode last night….I cried at the scene in Emma's office, and I've never cried while watching Glee before! Basically, it was amazing and I'm a very happy klainer right now.

Enjoy!

Chapter 18:

June 14th 2019:

Six months later

"Kurt! Come on! Hurry up!" Santana shouted towards the bathroom with as much energy as she could muster before she collapsed back onto Kurt's bed clutching her stomach and trying to think of anything but how miserable she felt.

Kurt rolled his eyes at her impatience and grabbed his toiletries bag from the bathroom counter before going back into his room.

"Santana, are you sure you're okay?" Kurt asked sitting next to Santana and gentle pushing the hair out of her face.

Santana opened her eyes glaring at Kurt, "No, I feel like shit" she grumbled before sitting up and taking a deep breath. She slowly stood up from Kurt's bed and began to walk out of the room, pausing in the doorway, "Ready Freddie?"

Kurt sighed and scooted off his bed, he stopped to pick up his suitcase as he walked towards her, his eyes full of concern, "Are you sure-"

Santana quickly cut him off, "Kurt! I swear if you ask me that one more time…" she trailed off giving him her best bitchy look but Kurt could tell she was exhausted and really didn't want to talk about it anymore. Santana hated showing weakness, even if it was just because she was sick, if Kurt remembered correctly, she had only taken one sick day in the past five years, one.

"I know, I know. I just…you look like crap San, and I don't want you to get to get sicker by flying to California." Kurt gave her a small smile and followed her from his room towards the front door. He reached out and took her suitcase before she could.

Thankfully, Santana didn't protest. She just sighed again, "I'm not going to get sicker. Besides, I'd much rather be sick in California where Eric will take care of me than here all alone."

Kurt knew better than to protest and simply nodded before he took their bags and headed out of his apartment. Santana locked the door behind him and the two walked quietly to the garage where his car was parked. Kurt kept glancing over at Santana to make sure she was still doing okay.

It amazed him how much things had changed for the both of them in the past six months. After their first weekend in LA, Santana and Eric decided to start dating and had been going steady ever since them. Kurt was still happily in love with Blaine and though he and Santana only got to see their loves every one and a half to two weeks, they managed and had each other to lean on. After all, misery loves company.

Their flight to LA arrived that evening and Kurt had never been more thankful to touch ground. Santana hadn't thrown up again but she was still exhausted so Kurt worked most of the flight while she rested.

Kurt took her bag again when they exited the plane and they walked silently through the airport. Santana stayed close to Kurt's side, like he was some sort of lifeline for her. She only showed real emotion when she caught sight of Eric and walked a little quicker, throwing herself into her arms.

"Is she alright?" Blaine asked Kurt giving him a hug and quick kiss.

"I don't know," Kurt replied honestly, smiling at Blaine and leaning in to properly say hello. Once he pulled away after a few seconds he grabbed Blaine's hand and turned to Eric who had one arm around Santana's waist, keeping her close.

Kurt handed over her bag, "I think we're going to go home, but you two have a great trip!" Eric said, giving Blaine a quick wink before he took Santana's bag and they left the airport.

So consumed with watching over Santana, Kurt had briefly forgotten that he and Blaine were going on a vacation for three days. Blaine had the whole trip planned but refused to tell Kurt anything, wanting to surprise him yet again.

"We're going on vacation!" Kurt said excitedly a spring in his step as he and Blaine walked out of the airport together. He felt better now knowing that Santana had Eric to watch over her, and she would actually listen to him too.

Blaine laughed at Kurt's sudden enthusiasm, "We are, and before you ask for the thirith time," Blaine chuckled when Kurt rolled his eyes and insisted that he didn't ask that many times, "You're right, it's more like fifty times. But anyway, we leave tomorrow morning at eleven...that's the only hint you're getting." He leaned over and kissed Kurt's cheek as they walked outside into the blazing sun of California.

"Okay, so before we go in, I need to warn you that I may have got a new roommate, but it's not a person." Blaine explained as he unlocked the door and stepped inside.

Kurt didn't move, "You what? What are you talking about?"

Blaine laughed at his annoyed expression and reached out grabbing Kurt's hand and pulled him into the apartment, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

Still super confused Kurt followed Blaine through the apartment to their bedroom, yes 'their'. After six months it really was theirs, Kurt had his own side of the counter in the bathroom, a section of Blaine's closet and even his own drawer.

Blaine led him into the bedroom and turned on the lights. Kurt looked around for this 'new roommate' before his gaze landed on the bed where a big orange tabby cat was sleeping on his side of the bed on his pillow.

"You got a cat?" Kurt almost screeched, turning to look at Blaine who had a huge grin on his face.

"Well, I was given a cat. You know Ms. Johnson, the really old lady that lives next door?" Blaine asked but Kurt's gaze told him that he needed to explain quickly, "No? Anyways, she is being moved to assisted living and she isn't allowed to take pets so she gave me Perry." Blaine smiled down at the huge orange fur ball and then back to Kurt.

Kurt groaned and threw his head back, "You did not name the cat Perry."

Blaine laughed and sat down on the bed and began to pet the sleeping cat, "I did not, I swear he was already named that."

"I highly doubt that."

"Fine I'll prove it to you." Blaine accepted the challenge and he laid down next to the cat and said its name. The cat twitched and opened its eyes, before lifting its head to nuzzle Blaine's chin.

Kurt admitted to himself that the sight of Blaine being snuggled by a cat was adorable but still, it was a cat, which sheds orange fur that would get all over his clothes. Not to mention the cat, Perry, he cringed at the name, had clearly taken over his side of the bed and Kurt was not going to compete with a cat for crying out loud.

Taking a deep breath and deciding not to make a big deal out of Perry, who obviously made Blaine very happy, Kurt moved and snuggled in behind Blaine on the bed. He rested his head on Blaine's shoulder, "I still can't believe you have a cat" Kurt said, kissing Blaine's cheek and watching as Perry laid down and showed Blaine his orange belly.

Blaine turned his head and smiled, "Well I'm just full of surprises."

It was only when he and Blaine were asleep that Kurt got his first real interaction with Perry. The door to their room was closed and Kurt had been asleep when he woke up to, "meow! meow meeeoooow!" sounding outside the bedroom door.

After several attempts to wake up Blaine, who was literally sleeping like the dead, Kurt gave up and got out from the warmth underneath the blankets and opened the door to their bedroom.

Sitting on the carpet looking up with wide eyes, was Perry. The cat looked up at Kurt who held the door open.

"Well, aren't you going to come in?" Kurt asked the cat. Perry just titled his head and Kurt wasn't sure what to do. "Come on kitty," he cooed, motioning into the room but Perry showed no signs of moving other than a quick flick of his tail.

Tired and irritated that he had to deal with this cat, Kurt bent down and picked up the large orange tabby and walked back to the bed. Kurt set Perry on the end of bed by Blaine's feet and climbed back under the covers.

"Why'd you leave?" Blaine murmured quietly pressing his chest into Kurt's back and holding him close.

Kurt let his eyes close and relaxed into Blaine's arms, "Your stupid cat wanted to join us."

Blaine's only response was to snuggle closer to Kurt as his breathing evened out and he fell back asleep.

As Kurt started to drift asleep, he felt something apply pressure to his legs before Perry appeared and turned around once before curling up against Kurt's stomach. Though he wasn't too excited about having a cat, Perry was definitely growing on Kurt he decided that the big orange fur ball might actually be a nice little addition to his and Blaine's life.

June 15th 2019:

Kurt woke the next morning to the smell of pancakes drifting into the bedroom and after stretching out his muscles, Kurt sat up to see Perry still curled up against his front. The cat lifted his head to look at Kurt and yawned.

With a laugh Kurt ran his hand over the smooth fur on Perry's head, "Come on you, let's go see what Blaine's making."

Perry immediately rose to his four little legs and arched his back, giving himself a quick shake before he jumped off the bed.

Kurt followed him and they both walked into the kitchen.

Blaine looked up from the stove where he was cooking so see Perry dashing into the kitchen followed by a sleepy and adorably disheveled looking Kurt. "Did you two sleep well?" Blaine asked giving Kurt a kiss on the cheek as the other man walked towards the coffee machine.

Only once Kurt had a steaming mug of coffee in his hands and he was sitting at the kitchen island watching Blaine cook did he answer, "We did actually, he's a very good cuddler."

Blaine laughed and turned around to hand Kurt a plate that had a small stack of pancakes on it, "I'm sure he is, aren't you Perry?" Blaine picked up the orange cat and pressed a kiss to his head.

Kurt shook his head and began to eat his breakfast as Blaine sat the cat down and grabbed his own plate, sitting next to Kurt.

Once they were finished, Blaine took Kurt's plate, "Why don't you go shower and finish packing while I clean up, then we can leave on our super-secret vacation."

"Which you're still not going to tell me anything about?"

"Which I'm still not telling you a single thing about," Blaine said with chuckle as he leaned over the counter and kissed Kurt before going back the dishes.

Kurt rolled his eyes and went back to their room. An hour later he was showered and had just finished repacking his suitcase when his phone rang.

He walked over to the dresser and picked up his phone, not bothering to check the caller id.

"Hello?"

"Kurt? Oh Kurt" Santana's voice broke on the other side of the line and Kurt froze.

"Santana? What's wrong?" He asked quickly, slightly scared. He had never heard her sound like that before and he really worried him, especially after she had been so sick the previous day.

There was the sound of her taking a deep breath, "I…I need to tell you something." She said slowly.

"Okay?" Kurt said dragging out the word, he sat down on the bed, not sure what was going on with his best friend, "You can tell me anything San," he said as comfortingly as possible.

"I…I know, it's just. Oh god, I'm freaking out right now and I don't even know what to think anymore!" Now Kurt was even more worried. Just in the tone of her voice and the way she paused Kurt knew this was something big, Santana wasn't one to hold back…ever.

"Okay, hey…sweetie calm down. It's okay Santana, where is Eric?" Kurt tried to keep his voice level, he knew from experience that he needed to stay calm or else Santana would freak out even more.

"He's…um…he's telling Nick and Jeff."

That only confused Kurt even further, what did Santana need to tell him that would also affect Nick and Jeff? "Alright, I'm here for you San, just take a deep breath and tell me what's going on so I can help."

Santana took another breath and paused before she said what Kurt was least expecting to hear from his best friend, "I…I'm pregnant."
