"Kurt…" Blaine said softly, frowning at the computer.

"Yeah?"

"Did you know that 7,000 infants die of…"

He paused, then suddenly Blaine bolted up the stairs.

"Quiet!" Kurt hissed after him. "I just put her down!"

Kurt raced him after him, his eyebrows knitted in concern.

"What's wrong babe?"

Blaine was crouched near the cot, watching their daughter's chest rise and fall steadily. He let out a breath of relief and Kurt sighed. They had only brought her home from the hospital this morning – Kurt and Blaine had barely left her side and spent most of the time fawning over her – but they had finally realised that they needed to let her go and sleep in peace.

"I just…" Blaine shook his head, standing and returning to Kurt's side. He took his hand. "I was reading about this…thing… - SIDS –and it stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome…it kills a lot of kids…"

Kurt frowned. "What causes it?"

"Nobody knows…and that's why it's so dangerous. You can't prevent it or expect it."

Kurt sighed, pulling him into a hug. "Blaine….you're being silly."

"I'm not though!" Blaine protested. "It could happen!"

"Blaine…she's going to have to grow up in a world of scraped knees, broken nails and heartbreak." He kissed him gently on the cheek. "It's far too early for you to be worrying."

Blaine frowned. "Are you saying you're not worried?"

Kurt chewed his lower lip. "I'm worried. I'm worried about her health, I worry about her future. I worry that she'll hate us and I worry about whether she'll make it through the night. I'll always worry about these things." Kurt started. "But I can't let it stop me from relaxing. I can't check on her every three seconds – I'll start getting anxiety issues."

Blaine sighed. "But…"

"We're not going to be there for every bump, scratch and bruise. We won't always be the one holding her hand and dusting her off. I think…I think that good parenthood is about trusting in yourself, that we've raised her to be strong enough to deal with some issues herself."

Blaine nodded, but still looked concerned. "But SIDS could happen at any time!"

"We could also accidentally drop her – she might fall in the shower and hit her head one day, or swallow something she's not supposed to." Kurt kissed him again. "Please stop worrying."

Blaine sighed, resting his forehead against Kurt's cheek.

"Am I already a bad parent?"

Kurt hugged him close. "No. You're already the best parent, because you care so much."

Blaine chuckled. "Far too much…I should get over-protective dad of the year award…"

Kurt chuckled, taking his hand to start leading him down the hair.

"Just wait until she starts dating."

A/N: Contemplating writing some TeenagerChildren!Klaine, but then again, I do want to get back to Teenage!Klaine, at least until 150. So we've got 17 hours to write 4 fics. :D
