It took another two days for Kurt's fever to break. Sebastian still had to go to work, but Blaine was able to stay home with the baby and nurse him back to health. On Tuesday night when Sebastian got home from the firm, he was relieved to find Kurt and Blaine curled up on the couch together watching Tangled and eating popcorn.
"Hey, am I interrupting?" Sebastian called, setting his bag by the doorway.
"Nope." Blaine replied, pausing the film. Kurt whined a little in protest until Blaine popped another piece of popcorn into his mouth.
"Well by the sound of it, Kurt's feeling better." Sebastian grinned. He shrugged his coat and kicked off his shoes before joining them on the couch.
"His fever broke this morning, only a few hours after you left." Blaine smiled. "But we should probably keep him in those diapers for a little while longer."
"Agreed. After last night's mess, I'm not taking any risks." The brunet nodded.
"Daddy." Kurt frowned deeply.
"Sorry, sorry, I won't interrupt your movie any more than I already have." Sebastian laughed. He pressed a kiss to his forehead and got up to fix himself a late dinner.
"There's leftover salmon in the fridge." Blaine told him.
"Sounds good." He cooked it up with some fried eggs and made himself comfortable on the couch beside Blaine. He wasn't really sure what was going on in the flick, put based on the main character's eighty foot long mane of hair; he was going to take a wild guess at Rapunzel or something close to that. However, every time he tried asking a question Kurt quickly shushed him. After a while he gave up on socializing completely.
At nine fifteen, Sebastian took the job of carrying Kurt to bed and changing his diaper before tucking him in. Blaine joined him moments later and they kissed his cheeks. Sebastian turned on the mobile and then they left.
"It was really nice talking to you guys tonight." Sebastian said sarcastically.
"You know how Kurt is when it comes to his Disney." Blaine smiled. "And I can't blame him."
"You two are so corny." Sebastian rolled his eyes, smirking as he selected a bottle of wine from the cabinet. He sighed and poured himself a glass. "I guess I just wish I could spend more time with you guys. I mean, I leave before he wakes up most mornings and by the time I get home, you've eaten dinner."
"Well, if you didn't have to take the hour long subway ride…" Blaine trailed off.
"I know what you're going to say, so don't." Sebastian said.
"Come on, Seb. You know it's the right thing to do. We hardly have any room here and it's time we get something nicer."
"I like our apartment." Sebastian frowned, taking a sip of his drink.
"Come on, you know that it's true. Seb, we've been living in this apartment since we started college. It's time we got a nice apartment." Blaine replied.
"We don't have the money." Sebastian murmured.
"Liar." Blaine snorted. "Don't pretend that the both of us don't have trust funds worth more than Lima's entire town budget." His face softened. "Tell me the real reason."
"I just don't think we're ready. I mean, what about Kurt? How is he going to react to it all? Don't you think such a big change might be a little…much?"
Blaine walked over and pressed Sebastian against the couch, pressing a kiss to his jaw. "It'll be fine."
"I still don't know…" Sebastian muttered.
"We've had these apartments on our watch list for weeks. They're not going to be vacant forever and if we move, then we'll get to spend more time together. Don't you think Kurt will like that?" Blaine asked.
Sebastian made a reluctant face and shrugged.
Blaine smiled and nudged him. "Sebastiaaaaan."
Sebastian whined a little. "All the packing and cleaning and who's going to watch Kurt?"
Blaine shrugged. "We could always put him in the playpen."
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. "And when the movers are here?"
"Hmmm…I suppose we could just stick him in a pair of our pajamas and keep him entertained somehow."
Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Yeah, because they might notice him wearing footie pajamas but they definitely won't see the giant baby crib they're going to be putting in their truck."
"Hey, we'll worry about this when the time comes." Blaine replied. "Just think about it."
"What?" Sebastian sighed.
"We'll get a four bedroom. You can still have an office and we can finally give Kurt a real nursery: one with cute murals on the walls and a rocking chair and enough room for a changing table and a rocking horse." Blaine beamed.
Sebastian sighed and rubbed his eyes. "You, Blaine Anderson, are too persuasive for your own good." He said, reluctantly cracking a grin.
"Trust me, a change is what we need, and I don't think Kurt will mind once we're settled in." Blaine assured him.
"Just don't start buying things on impulse again. I know it's exciting but we need to actually buy a new apartment before we start getting all this stuff." Sebastian told him.
Blaine blushed and pouted. "What's wrong with wanting to make your baby happy?"
"Nothing, Papa, until a collapsible playpen shows up at work in the middle of the day." Sebastian teased.
"That was a one-time accident that will never happen again." Blaine protested. "Not my fault."
"Fine, fine…we'll start looking this weekend, okay?" Sebastian bargained.
Beaming brightly, Blaine kissed his cheek. "Deal."
