SugarPOV-
''So what are you going to do,'' Kurt asks me as I hand him another pin from the pin cushion.
The warm, late August sun shines in on his newest creation: a dress for Santana's movie premier, two months away.
''I'm still trying to figure out how you and Blaine realized we're having a baby before Rory and I had it confirmed.''
''Because we just know these things,'' he smirks, pinning more fabric ,''But, cool. We're gonna have two grandchildren. And we finally heard from the agency. A young girl is considering putting her baby up for adoption, and she wants to meet with us.''
''That's great,'' I smile, because they deserve that.
''So, have you and Rory decided what to do about the baby?''
''We are keeping him or her,'' I nod ,''We didn't plan on having babies until we were in our mid-twenties, but oh well. It's just happening sooner than we expected.''
''And, you know Blaine and I are here to help you,'' he reminds me ,''We're helping Ryder and Blair as much as we can.''
''Thank you. And my parents took it a lot better than we expected. So they want to help, too,'' I grin ,''Seeing as this is their first grandchild and all.''
Even with the divorce, they both want to help out, agreeing to put their personal issues aside to help us.
That's the first time they've done that in so long.
''So what about college,'' he asks, looking at me quickly.
''I can take online classes. Rory's going to go on-campus, though. We may have to move some things around, but for now the plan is for him to take as many courses as he can so that he can get started with his career.''
''I want both of you to be careful not to stretch yourselves too thin. It's not going to be easy, going to college and raising a baby,'' he reminds me.
''I know but… we'll make it work.''
We've made everything work so far. I'm sure we can do this.
''If you guys ever need anything, you know to call us,'' he smiles, standing and helping me ,''And I trust that I won't have to take you maternity shopping?''
''I know what to look for,'' I laugh ,''After all, I did learn from the best.''
''Flattery will get you anywhere,'' he jokes ,''Now, let's go get lunch. We have to keep my grandchild healthy.''
Kurt has been more of a dad to me than my birth dad. He's always helped me, always been supporting me. And I honestly think that if Rory and I didn't make it, he would have still been there for me.
Which is why I had to have two father-daughter dances: one with my birth dad, and one with Kurt.
Blaine is amazing, too. He was more than happy to fill in for my dad at the rehearsal dinner.
Which is why I'm glad things are finally looking up for them. They've wanted more kids, especially since Rory and Blair moved out. They're so loving, and I know they love the kids already.
I hope Rory and I have that one day, and we seem on the track there. But we're different people, so it may not be exactly the same.
The point is that I love Rory, and I want to raise a family with him. And we're on our way there.
We're gonna have it all.
RyderPOV-
''You okay,'' I ask Rory, who looks ready to nod off.
''Yeah,'' he lets out a yawn ,''Besides, my shift is over in an hour.''
We've been working at the music store, about fifteen minutes away from the apartment, since June.
''Rory,'' Penny, our assistant manager, says, ''Could you stack the new CD's that came in? You should be done before your shift is over.''
''Sure,'' he nods, walking around the counter and taking the box from her.
''What's with you,'' she raises an eyebrow, pulling her red hair into a ponytail.
''My girlfriend is pregnant, I start classes next month, and I have no idea what we're going to do.''
''I could help you. When Kara moves next month, I'll be manager. And I could make you assistant manager. You'll be making more money,'' she smiles.
''You are a life-saver,'' I sigh ,''Thanks, Penny.''
''Don't mention it. Now, show me what this gorgeous girlfriend you're always going on about looks like,'' she smirks, taking my phone ,''Oh my gosh, Ryder, she's gorgeous!''
I know.
''I just wish she could see it,'' I sigh ,''She's so insecure.''
''Well, you are a catch, so she may feel inferior. But I know you'd never date a girl who was anything less than amazing, you'll have to show her that,'' she shrugs.
''You give the best advice,'' I stare in awe, and she laughs.
''Thanks. I have four brothers, I have to give them advice all of the time,'' she nods ,''We need music. Old-fashioned music.''
With that, she hops off of the counter, and rifles through a box of CDs.
''Perfect,'' she grins at me, putting the CD in.
Soon, the sound of a familiar song fills the air.y
''Let's Call the Whole thing Off,'' she supplies, noticing my confusion ,''Written by George and Ira Gershwin. It was originally sung by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but this version is covered by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. I like old school music, you see.''
''So does my girlfriend,'' I nod, and Penny's bright brown eyes widen.
''I am making her a CD, and she can listen to it so the baby hears it,'' she replies with her usual energy.
''She'd appreciate that, I'm sure,'' I smile as she begins to write a lists of songs.
On slow days, like this, it's nice to just talk to her and Rory. The only other person that works here is never on my shift, a tall guy named Jason. Penny's boyfriend.
Penny is a gorgeous girl, I can admit that. And she is just as sweet, innocent, and fun-loving as Blair.
But she's not, Blair, and I would never do anything to hurt my relationship even if Penny was single.
I just hope Blair sees that. She said that she trusts me, and knows I'd never try to hurt her, and of course I wouldn't.
Besides, I made the same promise to Blaine. That I'd be careful with Blair's heart, especially after everything I've put her through.
And we're having a baby. We're really going to raise a child together.
Blair and I can get through everything, as we've proved before.
So I know everything's gonna be alright.
BPOV-
''You're incredible,'' Kurt pants out, pressing a kiss to the sweaty skin of my shoulder.
''Hmm,'' I breathe out, holding him closer ,''I could say the same about you.''
''Look,'' Kurt sighs ,''I know I have not been the best husband. But that's gonna change.''
''What do you mean,'' I question.
Kurt is an amazing husband.
''I think I've actually spent more time with Adam than I have with you,'' he playfully pouts ,''I'm sorry.''
''Kurt, we are allowed to have friends,'' I laugh a little, ''I have been spending time with Sebastian.''
''But we're supposed to make time for each other, too,'' he insists ,''And with your insecurities...''
''Kurt, I'm not insecure when it comes to you. You and I? We're strong,'' I tell him, moving sweaty hair from his forehead ,''I love you.''
''I love you, too. But I won't be as busy, soon. And at least we'll be able to spend more time with each other, especially while we wait on news of the baby.''
''True,'' I nod ,''And Natalie called. We may or may not be caring for a foster child soon.''
''Perfect,'' he nods, a huge smile lighting up his features ,''We're really doing this. We are raising a family.''
''Well, Mr. Anderson-Hummel, I would not want to do this with anyone else.''
And I never will.
''It's funny, Mr. Anderson-Hummel,'' my husband jokes, lazily drawing patterns onto the bare skin of my hip with his delicate finger ,''I was just thinking the same thing. So… we're okay?''
''We're okay. Yes,we have a lot of responsibilities. But… I don't want anyone else. And I trust you as much as you trust me. You and I? We're meant to be. So I don't worry too much what others think,'' I tell him.
''Good,'' he kisses me again ,''And we're taking Gracie somewhere this weekend. I want to spend time with you two.''
''I think she'd agree to that,'' I smirk, pressing another kiss to his lips.
A sweet, simple kiss that becomes very heated. Kurt's hand begins moving from my hair, and-
''She's crying,'' he sighs ,''I'd better go get her before she comes in here.''
Kurt stand then, putting on a pair of pajama pants and his bathrobe.
''Do you think she had a nightmare,'' I ask, propping myself up on my elbow.
''Most likely,'' he sighs, ''I'll be back.''
''I love you,'' I tell him as he leaves.
''I love you, too. And we are definitely continuing this when I get back.''
Well, I have no problem with that.
KPOV-
''What's wrong, sweetheart,'' I walk into Grace's room, only to find her sitting on her bed.
She raises her arms to be picked up, and I oblige.
''Dada,'' she whines, snuggling her face into my neck.
''Honey, what's wrong,'' I smooth down her curls ,''You don't feel well?''
Grace doesn't appear to have a fever, but I take her temperature just to be sure. Nope, nothing.
''Did you have a nightmare,'' I question, and she raises her head from my shoulder and nods, ''Do you want daddy to stay with you?''
She cuddles back into me, and I'll just take that as a yes.
''We'll lay on the couch until you go to sleep,'' I respond, holding her close as I lay back.
She's such a gorgeous baby. And so sweet and smart and just… I honestly don't know how I got this lucky.
''You know, Grace, I love you. I love your brother and your sister, too. I also love your papa. He loves you all, too. He's incredible.''
Her hazel eyes focus on me, as if she understands.
''And we're gonna take such good care of you, and the new baby or kids. Don't ever doubt that. We're ready for this.''
She lets out a yawn then, and I can't help but smile.
''Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Am I boring you,'' I joke as she lays back down ,''I'll just talk to you later.''
It's not easy. We do still have to help Rory and Blair sometimes, and Grace is so young. She's started potty training, which isn't going to well. And sometime it's just messy, and then there are the long nights…
But it's wonderful. It's so, so wonderful. This has been the best part of my life, taking care of our kids.
Yes, two of them are grown and have moved out. But they are still our kids, and they know we're right behind them when they need us. That is just the way that this family works.
And Blaine… he's so damn understanding. I could not do this with anyone else, but he makes me happy, and he's an amazing parent.
Adam may be my friend, but Blaine is my best friend. None of this, my rise in confidence, my success in fashion… none of that would not have happened without him loving me and supporting me.
I am going to make more time for him. He's worth it. We're worth making it work.
And I will fight for that no matter what.
