It was the next night and Tina and Mike were helping Santana and Brittany set up for the party. "I can't believe you invited the Hobbit twins, Aretha, and Fish Lips." Santana complained.
"Come on Tana, it could be nice." Brittany soothed.
"You know why I did it Santana, I think it will be good for Kurt." Tina said.
"That's the only reason I'm doing this." Santana wiped the table down.
When the doorbell rang a few minutes later, Mike went to get it. "Hey Wes, Anna, Josh" He greeted.
"Hey Mike" The family walked in carrying a few trays of food.
"Yay, food" Brittany clapped and took the trays to the kitchen.
"Your help is greatly appreciated" Santana hugged Anne.
"We can't have you doing all of the work." Wes said as he greeted the girls.
"Be warned, Blaine and his gang are coming tonight." Santana said.
Wes' eyes widened in surprise, "Do Kurt and Sebastian know?"
Santana nodded before helping Brittany with the food.
Later on, Niff and Quinn and Puck came with a tray each. After them was Trent, David, Lisa, and their two girls Karah and Amy. "So what's this I hear about a certain Frodo-like singer coming to dinner?" Trent asked.
"Tina invited them, don't ask me." Santana shrugged.
"Is this a good idea?" David asked.
"You guys didn't hear what they were saying about Kurt. This will show them that he's better off without Blaine." Tina said.
"Fine, but if any of them say something bad I won't be responsible for my actions." Puck cracked his knuckles. Quinn elbowed him and pointed to the children playing on the couch.
The next time the doorbell rang, Mercedes, Sam, Blaine, and Rachel came in. "Hey everyone" Sam said excitedly. There were a few halfhearted responses.
"Oh Santana, what a lovely apartment. It's so chic" Rachel admired the dark furniture.
"You sound so surprised." Santana said.
"Well, this looks quite expensive. What do you do?" She asked.
"You saw where I work Rachel, remember, Assistant to Mr. Hythe. Manager of his store. Brittany works in a daycare."
"Oh yes, I still need to talk to him about getting my wedding dress started. Do you have any way to contact him?" She asked.
The room groaned and rolled their eyes.
"How many times are we going to have to go over this? Mr. Hythe isn't designing until next year. Find another wedding dress." Trent said the second half very slowly.
"Can't this guy just design one dress for Rachel? I mean it's only one dress and she's the biggest name in Broadway, he should be honored to have her want one of his dresses." Mercedes said.
"I think it should be the other way around" Nick muttered, Jeff snickered.
"Mr. Hythe isn't designing anything because he can't be stressed right now." Wes continued.
"And dealing with you" Santana pointed at Rachel, "wouldn't be worth his health."
"That's not very nice Santana." Blaine started.
"Don't even say another word Gelmet." Santana interrupted. He was about to reply but the doorbell rang again. When Wes opened the door they saw two boys holding a tray. "Hey Andrew, Damian where are your parents?"
"They're coming" Andrew replied, giving the tray to Anne, "Dad is helping Maman up the stairs."
"Crap, totally forgot about the stairs." Santana rushed to the kitchen and brought out a chilled bottle of water while Wes and Puck cleared the couch. A moment later Kurt and Sebastian walked in. "I am so sorry about the stairs, I totally forgot." Santana handed Kurt the water and hugged him and Sebastian.
"Santana don't worry about it. I love the exercise, I haven't been out of bed at all today." Kurt smiled and took the water. On his way to the couch he hugged everyone (except four certain people).
"Being a little overbearing Sebastian" Puck smirked.
"You have no idea" Kurt relaxed into the couch with Damian and Andrew on either side of him.
"I'm just being careful." Sebastian huffed, the others laughed.
"I must say Kurt, you really have let yourself go." Rachel commented. The room was silent and Kurt subconsciously put his hand to his stomach.
"Oh that is it Man hands" Santana stepped forward, but was intercepted by Puck and Mike.
"That is very rude to say Miss, especially since you aren't exactly something to look at." Andrew sniffed.
Puck fell to the floor laughing, but Mercedes scowled, "You should learn some manners. Kurt aren't you going to say anything?"
Kurt smirked a little at Mercedes before turning to his eldest, "Andrew Finn Hummel-Smythe, where on earth did you learn that?" Kurt scolded, but his eyes shined with amusement.
"Papa of course." Andrew looked very proud of himself.
"Wait, you two are married?" Blaine pointed between Kurt and Sebastian.
"Way to go Sherlock, any other obvious things you feel the need to point out?" Sebastian countered.
"But you hated each other" Sam exclaimed.
"Yes, we did indeed. However, after hanging out for a while, we found that we actually had a lot in common. About two years later, we're getting married, and nine months after that, Andrew was born. Two years later, Damian Luke Hummel-Smythe was born." Kurt hugged each of his boys.
"So you left me for Sebastian Smythe!" Blaine shouted.
Damian flinched a little, "Hey, no shouting" Sebastian glared at the curly haired man.
"No! You left me for that man whore. Why?" Blaine continued.
Kurt glared at his ex-fiancé, "I didn't want to be with someone who constantly needed attention. I needed someone who was as strong as I was and you just weren't cutting it. I left to make my own life and I have never looked back. Leaving you and New York was the best decision I have ever made and I regret nothing."
The silence was broken by Amy, David's oldest, "Daddy, can we have dinner now?" The other children were coming into the room.
"Of course dear let's get you guys washed up." He and Puck took all of the children to the bathroom.
"Come on, let's go to the table." Santana ushered everyone to the table. Once everyone was seated, the group talked about their lives. They tried to stay away from talking about Rachel and Blaine, knowing they wouldn't be able to stop once they started.
"A friend of mine says that you should think about making a website Kurt." Mike said.
"Really?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, he's a carrier and really likes your clothes. The only problem is that they are hard to find in department stores." Mike explained.
"Hmm, that sounds like a good idea, I'll have Trent look into it." Kurt looked at said Warbler and nodded.
"Pavarotti .com huh, sounds catchy" Santana said.
"Wait, Pavarotti, like the store Pavarotti." Rachel asked.
"Obviously" Damian piped up.
Rachel ignored him, "So you know Mr. Hythe"
"Yes, I would say we're pretty close" Kurt smirked into his water.
"Would you be able to convince him to make a dress for me? My wedding is in November and I really need a dress from him."
The room rolled their eyes, "When will this sink into that thick skull of yours? He isn't making clothes!" Santana hissed.
"Why not?" Sam asked.
"Because I don't want to." Kurt stated. The room looked at him, but he was helping Damian cut his food.
"What?" Mercedes asked, she and the others were in shock.
Kurt looked at the shocked group, "I don't want to make Rachel a dress. I'm not designing right now, so deal with it."
"Y-you are M-Mr. Hythe?" Rachel squeaked.
Kurt looked at her confused, "You haven't figured it out yet? My last name is Hummel-Smythe, put them together and you get Hythe. It's cute isn't it, Andrew thought of it when I was trying to come up with a brand name." He pushed the boy's bangs away from his face.
"Why won't you make me a dress? We're best friends Kurt." Rachel looked hurt.
"Oh please, you haven't seen me in eight years. You gave me a hard time for leaving Blaine, and just a few days ago you didn't want anything to do with me. All of a sudden you are my friend? I don't think so." Kurt said.
"Come on Kurt, it's just a dress, I'm sure that you could make her one. It's not that big of a deal." Mercedes rolled her eyes.
Santana glared at the singer, "Look here Technicolor zebra, it takes months for Kurt to make a decent dress and it is stressful. Add to the fact that Rachel is whiny, self-centered, and a drama queen, it's reason enough for him not to do it. If she wanted a dress so badly then she should have planned ahead like every other person that wants a dress made by Kurt."
"Exactly" Trent continued, "Those who wanted designs by Kurt were willing to wait until he was back to work, they understood that he wasn't designing until later next year, so why can't you?
When there was no answer, Puck decided to change the subject, "Now that that is over with, how about dessert? If I'm not mistaken, Kurt baked." Puck rubbed his hands together.
"Are you supposed to be baking?" Tina looked concerned.
Kurt rolled his eyes and sighed, "I had supervision" He turned to his husband who was smirking, "Not to mention the two best helpers" He kissed each of his boys on the cheek.
"I like baking with Mommy" Amy said and was hugged by Lisa.
"It's better than Daddy, David can't cook to save his life." Wes smirked.
"That is why I have the best wife in the world." David stuck his tongue out at his friend.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X
Once dessert was finished, the children all went upstairs to play. The adults sat in the living room and talked. Quinn had been fidgeting the whole night and couldn't hold it in any longer, "I have heard through the grapevine that a certain couple has something to tell us." She looked at Kurt and Sebastian. The others looked at them in confusion.
"Oh, and what would that be?" Sebastian smirked.
"You know" Quinn pushed.
"And just what have you heard?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"Your dad wouldn't tell me" She pouted.
"Okay, now I'm confused." Jeff looked between them.
Kurt and Sebastian looked at each other and nodded. "We went to the doctor's office a few weeks ago."
The group, minus the four outsiders, all smiled, "and" They pushed.
"Girls" Kurt said simply.
The girls were on their feet, screaming and hugging the two men. The men were cheering. "WAIT, WAIT!" Jeff shouted to get everyone's attention.
"Did you say girls, as in plural?" He asked.
"I think we did" Sebastian smiled.
"TWINS?!" They shouted.
"Yeah" Kurt leaned against Sebastian who had his arm around Kurt. There was more squealing and hugging and laughing. Everyone was so excited, everyone except for the four newcomers, who still sat on the couch in confusion.
"Wait, what?" Sam asked.
"Kurt's pregnant!" Tina jumped excitedly. "With twins!"
"You're a carrier?" Blaine asked, his puppy dog eyes were out.
"Yes" Kurt answered slowly.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" He asked.
"You didn't need to know. Only my family knew. Sebastian didn't find out until about a month before we got engaged." Kurt said.
Blaine didn't say anything, but he still looked hurt.
"So why didn't you tell me? We were best friends!" Mercedes exclaimed.
Kurt sighed, "You didn't need to know. It wasn't important."
"So you don't need to lose weight?" Sam asked.
The group glared at him, "Shut up Trouty, you're ruining the mood." Santana spat.
"I'm so happy for you Dolphin." Brittany hugged him.
"Thanks Boo" Kurt smiled.
"That's quite a lot of kids you got there Porcelain." Puck chuckled.
"I know, and these are the last ones. I'm not having anymore." Kurt sighed. Everyone laughed.
The night continued peacefully, the foursome were subdued, and the group couldn't be happier. Everyone was happy to see them leave at the end of the night.
So how was it? I know Sam and Mercedes didn't really talk, I'm mostly focusing on Blaine and Rachel since this story is about Kurt growing up without Blaine. I will tell you this, Mercedes and Sam are not good people; they are friends with Blaine and Rachel, not Kurt. He didn't keep in touch with either of them when he was away, so that means they aren't friends…just to clarify…sorry if anyone likes them. I thought it would be easier to have them as Blaine's friends.
Anyway, Review please. I do so enjoy reading your opinions ^-^
