Hello :D

This prompt was from my lovely friend RozarieCriss who requested a heavily pregnant Kurt struggling with trivial things. I hope you like it honey!


"I've got a mile long list of things to do today Finn. I really don't have time to wash your lucky pants before the game tonight. I've got to go grocery shopping, then to the fresh fruit and vegetable store and I've got to pick up Burt's prescription from the pharmacy." Carole said as she bustled about, cleaning up the things from breakfast.

"But, mum! I really need them!" Finn moaned childishly.

Kurt wander into the kitchen having overheard the conversation. "Blaine and I could run some of those errands for you."

"No, it's okay honey. Thank you for the offer but I'd prefer you took it easy."

Kurt harrumphed a little. "Please? I'm so bored of being stuck inside all the time. Cooper can come with us if that's what's your worried about." Then he gave her the eyes. The eyes that everyone in the family dreaded getting because it meant that they wouldn't be able to say no to him.

"Oh alright then. But please be careful and take a break if you need to." Carole warned.

"I will." Kurt smiled at her. "Blaine! Cooper! We're going out to run some errands!" Kurt said excitedly.

The three boys running errands together was a trial. Cooper was being his usual childish self and fiddling with almost everything on the shelves, annoying Kurt so much that he sent Cooper with a list to the fruit and vegetable store. With Cooper out of the way grocery shopping was a much easier and peaceful experience.

Blaine of course still fussed over Kurt. He made sure that Kurt didn't reach up to anything on the high shelves and made sure that he was the one that was pushing the trolley. If Kurt hadn't been finding it so cute then he might have just punched Blaine. He hated feeling like an invalid, something everyone in his family was constantly making him feel. He, of course, knew that they meant well but he had an endless battle trying to avoid the urge to snap at them.

"Damn I really need the toilet." Blaine muttered, looking conflicted. He knew Kurt would not like to be dragged to the toilet with him so that he could keep an eye on him.

"Just go Blaine. I'm looking at rice. It's nothing risky. Go on. Before you pee yourself." Kurt smirked.

"I'll be right back!" Blaine called over his shoulder as he headed away from Kurt.

Kurt let out a sigh of relief and went back to deciding on what types of rice to get. He selected a few different choices and moved to put them in the trolley. Except his grip was whimsical and they slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor. Kurt attempted to bend down to pick them up but because of his large distended abdomen he couldn't reach. His eyes widened as he realised that all the flexibility that he had pre-pregnancy was gone. He hadn't noticed this before because everything he needed was pretty much handed to him since he had got pregnant.

Kurt found himself tearing up in the middle of the aisle as his mind wondered whether he would ever be as flexible as he had been. Desperately he tried to keep the threatening tears at bay. He refused to cry because he couldn't bend to pick up something in the supermarket. Nope, he wasn't going to cry.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Blaine asked as he approached.

He bent easily to pick up the packets of rice that were still on the floor and Kurt watched him with envy. Kurt used to be able to do that. He used to be one of the most flexible people in McKinley. Not now though. Now he was probably the least flexible person. But damn it he WASN'T GOING TO CRY!

Of course then he start bawling in the middle of the supermarket.

Blaine looked at Kurt completely shocked having no idea why he had started to cry. He looked around trying to see if there might have been someone that had said something to him but there was no one that looked particularly threatening in the aisle, most just looked at Kurt in confusion. It wasn't every day that someone broke down while shopping.

Blaine immediately started to attempt to sooth Kurt but it was to no avail. Once the tears had started to flow they didn't seem to want to stop and Blaine was at a loss of what to do.

He whipped out his phone to text Cooper and get him back to the store. His brother came running at the text that he'd received because all Blaine had said was that something was wrong with Kurt which had led Cooper to believe that the something wrong was to do with the baby or something. He ran up to them panting to get his breath back. He'd had to dump the fruit and vegetables he had brought because he didn't think that he would have enough time to pay for them in an emergency. The owner of the store was probably very pissed at him right now.

"I'm going to take Kurt to the car. Could you finish up for me here?" Blaine asked.

"Yes of course. Just make sure that he's alright." Cooper said, his serious side appearing.

Blaine nodded and gently led Kurt away and out of the supermarket. He ignored the weird stares as he went, instead choosing to try calm Kurt who was still crying loudly.

When they reached the car Blaine helped Kurt into the backseat and he sat in the back beside him, gathering the crying boy in his arms and attempting to figure out what was wrong.

"Baby, what's the matter? Why are you so upset?" A hint of desperation was in Blaine's voice because he was desperate. He hated feeling powerless even though this whole pregnancy left Blaine pretty much powerless.

"I couldn't... I couldn't pick up the rice." Kurt sobbed.

Blaine almost let out a laugh but luckily caught himself before he did. That would in no way help the situation.

"Oh baby, that doesn't matter." He wiped at Kurt's tears.

Kurt hiccuped. "I used to be flexible Blaine. I used to have control of my body. Now it just does it's own thing and I can't even bend properly."

"That's because you're having a baby, Kurt. But you know what? When our beautiful little baby is born you will be able to get back into shape in no time. You'll be able to do all of that stuff again. This is just a temporary state. You are growing OUR baby and Kicker is more than worth it, don't you think?"

Kurt sniffled but rubbed a hand over his bump. He knew that Blaine was right. He couldn't wait till their baby was born. A little person that he loved so much already even though his body was going through a hard time. It would be all worth it when he held their baby in his arms for the first time.

Blaine passed Kurt a tissue which he used to wipe the tears from his eyes.

"You're right, Blaine. Besides I've got you to help me pick up anything from the floor. The view is pretty awesome too." Kurt smirked.

Blaine was relieved that Kurt was out of the funk that he had been in. "Is this the horny side of pregnancy coming out?"

Kurt gave him and innocent look. "Do you think Cooper would be pissed off if we left him here?"

"There's only one way to find out."
