Blaine got back to the apartment, exhausted. It was almost three in the morning and the next thing he remembered was hearing two familiar voices that belonged to Burt and Carole.

"Wha-" Blaine opened his eyes and sat up on the couch. "What time is it?"

"Just after eight," Burt responded. "You didn't even make it to your bed."

Blaine was still trying to wake up and Carole handed him a cup of coffee.

"We never got a call to say she was born." Burt laughed.

"She was born at 1.15 this morning. Six pounds eleven, really healthy and beautiful." Blaine yawned.

"Does she have a name?" Carole asked.

"Oh yes," Blaine responded. "Sophia Jade Hummel-Anderson."

That was when Finn and Rachel came through the front door.

"Coffee." Finn groaned as he went straight to his mother in the kitchen.

"Did Kurt have her?" Rachel asked as Blaine found his phone in the blankets and showed her the single photo they had of her at that moment.

"Oh Blaine she is beautiful!" Rachel beamed, handing the phone to Burt and Carole.

"Sophia is beautiful," Carole smiled. "She looks just like Kurt."

"I know." A smile appeared on Blaine's face.

"Sophia?" Rachel asked before she realised that was the baby's name. "It's a perfect name."

"She is going to have your curls," Rachel examined the photo again. "You can tell. And lucky Aunt Rachel knows how to deal with curls."

"Lucky." Blaine laughed.

"Is that her?" Finn had the phone. "She really does look like Kurt."

"It's the eyes," Burt said. "They were his mother's too. Speaking of Kurt, how is he doing?" Burt asked.

"Sore but okay," Blaine responded. "I have no idea how he did that."

"The actual miracle of childbirth." Quinn responded as she walked out of Rachel's room, which caused Carole to laugh.

The phone was handed to the blonde and she responded the same way that Rachel did and Blaine got the phone back, posting the picture to Facebook. His phone started lighting up immediately. He called Kurt and could hear Sophia in the background.

"How are you this morning?" Blaine asked.

"Sore," Kurt mumbled. "I have Sophia in my room now. You can come whenever you're ready."

"Is it okay if I bring your parents with me?" Blaine asked. "Rachel and Finn will come later on with Quinn."

"That's fine," Kurt responded. "See you soon. Love you."

"Love you too." Blaine hung up the phone.

Kurt and Sophia had a lot of visitors over their three day hospital visit. Blaine was there to help Kurt on the day they were leaving and carried Sophia out of the hospital so carefully to Burt's car because they had driven down from Ohio. The whole car ride, neither Kurt nor Blaine could take their eyes off the small girl and didn't notice that the older man stopped the car outside their new apartment.

"We still have half our stuff at the loft dad," Kurt interrupted. "It's easier to leave us there."

"Just come up." Burt said as they took the sleeping girl up in her car sear carrier.

They opened the door to see a fully furnished apartment that not three days ago was full of boxed up, unbuilt, furniture.

"You did this by yourself." Kurt asked, looking around.

"Finn helped me," Burt commented. "Rachel and Carole did the decorating."

"It is perfect dad," Kurt hugged his father. "Thank you."

The older man just smiled and left the small family to their own devices for the first time in three days. Kurt put the girl to sleep in the nursery and came out with the baby monitor, smiling.

"We could always christen a room," Kurt suggested. "While she is sleeping."

"You're not too sore for that?" Blaine asked as Kurt just smiled at him. "Okay then Mr Hummel. Bedroom first?"

"I couldn't agree more." Kurt grabbed his hand and shut the bedroom door.
