Two years had passed and Blaine's life was almost as perfect as it could get. It was Alex and Maya's first day of a school and Kurt came into the kitchen.
"Aren't they too little for school?" Blaine asked.
"Not anymore." Kurt responded.
In the two years that passed they moved out of Kurt's apartment into a bigger place so the kids could have their own rooms.
"I'm going to wake them." Kurt walked up the stairs as Blaine nodded and continued to make breakfast.
Maya came down a couple of minutes later, and Blaine noticed she wasn't dressed.
"Daddy," The small girl came up to Blaine with her dress. "Look at the hole!"
"I'll take it to work today and see what Sarah from costumes can do for you, but you have to pick something else to wear." Blaine looked at the girl who sulked.
"What's up?" Kurt came in holding a coffee. He saw Maya holding her dress. "That's a pretty big hole. I'll sew it now if you eat your breakfast first Maya."
"Thank you Kurt." Maya hugged him and Blaine looked at Kurt.
"You don't have to." Blaine commented.
"It will take me two minutes." Kurt grabbed his coffee and took it into the study with him. He came back out with the dress and Alex was at the table.
"Maya come with me." Kurt called as the girl followed him into her room.
Kurt just watched as she so comfortably took off her pyjamas in front of Kurt and pulling the dress over her head. She went to grab a headband but Kurt stopped her.
"Your hair has to be up," Kurt said. "Do you want me to plait it for you?"
Maya nodded as Kurt brushed through her long dark brown curls that she very obviously inherited from Blaine. When Kurt finished the girl got off the bed and ran downstairs to show Blaine her hair. Kurt came down and they were heading to the car. They got to the school and Maya spotted the kids their age in the sandpit.
"Come Al!" Maya smiled.
"Bye Maya." Blaine stopped her as she hugged him and then Kurt.
"Bye Dad, Bye Blaine." Alex smiled hugging his father.
They watched the kids run to the playground and Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand.
"It makes it easier they are so close, right?" Kurt asked.
"Definitely," Blaine responded. "They are growing up so fast."
"Tell me about it," Kurt laughed. "It kind of makes you want another one."
"You think about more kids?" Blaine asked.
"Sometimes," Kurt responded. "But I also think about marriage. I guess it's something I always wanted to do with the right person."
That night Blaine was looking after kids as Kurt was working late. He couldn't shake the idea that Kurt wanted to get married. Blaine's first marriage wasn't very successful, but he and Kurt had been dating for three and a half years now. It was always the step he was working towards, and even with Santana, he had never felt this way about someone before. So certain that this was the person he was meant to spend the rest of his life with. Blaine had asked Rachel to babysit that evening and Kurt and Blaine went to a showing of Moulin Rouge. Blaine told Kurt he wanted to pick something up from the theatre, and they walked onto the empty stage. Kurt was running his hand along a prop, and he turned and saw Blaine sitting at the piano.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked. Blaine didn't respond and just started singing.
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you, until the end of time.
Kurt was looking at Blaine, and just shook his head. Until he started singing Santine's part of the song. They finished the song, dancing together on the empty stage, and Blaine got down on one knee.
"Kurt," Blaine looked at the taller man. "You were there for me when I came out of a toxic marriage, you have always been there for me and for Maya. She loves you so much, Kurt. And I don't think I could ever take her away from you. You have done so much for me and it's time for me to return the favour, and I am more certain than I have ever been in my life, that you're the person I want by my side if we decide to have a child that is both of ours, the person who I get the pleasure of coming home to every night. Kurt Hummel, will you marry me?"
"Yes," Kurt whispered. "Yes."
"I didn't hear that." Blaine joked.
"Yes!" Kurt said loud enough that it echoed in the empty theatre.
"Much better." Blaine kissed him before placing the ring on his finger.
They drove back to the house, Kurt looking at his ring the whole time, and Blaine so glad he said yes. When they got there, Rachel basically ran to the door.
"It is beautiful Kurt," Rachel hugged him. "Blaine is a lucky guy. Congrats you two."
"Thanks." Kurt and Blaine said in unison.
The next day, they told the kids over breakfast. Both of whom were quiet for a while.
"Does that mean Maya will be my sister?" Six year old Alex asked.
"It does," Kurt responded. "Are you two okay with that?"
"Yeah." They both beamed. These two kids were basically like brother and sister anyway.
"Wait, do we have to change our last name?" Maya asked.
"You don't have to," Blaine responded. "You can still be Maya Anderson and Alex can still be Hummel."
"What about Hummel-Anderson?" Alex asked.
"Only if you want to." Both Kurt and Blaine said.
