Eliza was also allowed to pick the place they would go for her birthday lunch and she chose the kids restaurant that they had been to a few times now. Kurt was assuming it was mainly for the playground. Burt and Carole had come down for the super bowl weekend and were also at the restaurant. Natalie who was now twelve and a half and a bit old to appreciate the playground was trying to convince her parents to let her go to the movies with friends so kindly offered to supervise her two brothers, Aiden and Eliza on the playground. Kurt had been feeling okay all day and Rachel, who had been his best friend for over twenty years now could tell that something was up.
“I left something in the car,” Rachel said grabbing her keys. “Want to come with me, Kurt?”
Kurt followed her outside and noticed that Rachel actually didn’t leave anything in the car.
“I am fine Rachel,” Kurt responded. “Don’t worry.”
“You couldn’t fool Finn with that line.” Rachel was giving him her bitch face.
“This is a disaster,” Kurt broke down after a couple of minutes. “I am almost 39. I can’t do the whole birth and baby thing again. When this one moves out for college, I will be 57 years old, Rachel!”
“You’re pregnant,” Rachel’s mouth hung open. “I-I don’t know what to say.”
Rachel’s next step was hugging Kurt. She wouldn’t even know how to react if she found out she was pregnant again and had to go through the whole baby thing again. But they couldn’t have any more anyway because of a procedure a couple of years ago.
“You have Blaine, Kurt,” Rachel smiled. “Whatever you’re going through, you can get through it together. And you’ll always have me. Besties for life.”
“Besties for life.” Kurt laughed as they did the gay handshake even though they both felt ridiculous doing it.
They went back inside and told the four adults sitting in there, well three not counting Blaine, that Kurt and Blaine were expecting another baby. Blaine called his family later that afternoon and now there were only two people who needed to know.

“Kurt,” Blaine said as the taller man at 18 weeks struggled to fit into his normal clothing. “I think we need to tell the kids.”
“I think we have a couple of weeks.” Kurt groaned and decided to just settle with the outfit he was comfortable in.
“We are telling them tonight.” Blaine responded as Kurt just nodded.
That night after dinner, Kurt and Blaine walked into a fight that had once again broken out.
“I don’t want to watch your project stupid show.” Aiden snatched the remote.
“Well Papa said I could choose the show and I chose this.” Eliza snatched back the remote.
“No,” Aiden changed the channel manually and stood in front of the TV so Eliza couldn’t change it back. “Were watching cartoons.”
“I’m telling Daddy and Papa.” Eliza screamed.
“TV off.” Blaine came up to Aiden and switched it off at the top of the TV.
“No,” The kids said in unison. “We’ll stop screaming.”
“Daddy and I need to tell you something,” Blaine looked at the taller man. “You’re going to have a baby brother or sister.”
Neither child said anything for a while. Kurt was just staring at their blank faces.
“Like a baby?” Eliza asked. “A little baby?”
“Newborn.” Kurt said as the girl just nodded.
“I choose a girl.” Eliza responded.
“We don’t choose the gender.” Kurt and Blaine said in unison.
“So a new baby?” Aiden said as both men looked at him. “I-I guess that’s okay.”
“We also have something we’d like you two to do,” Kurt said quickly. “You get to choose the name for this baby.”
“Really?” Blaine snapped his head to the taller man. This was two kids who couldn’t decide on a TV show to watch without breaking into world war three, let alone a baby name.
“That is pretty cool,” Aiden responded. “I choose Dumbledore for a boy.”
“Dumbledore is a stupid name.” Eliza retaliated as Kurt just looked at Blaine with his what have I just done face.

Kurt was two days away from his due date and it was boiling hot August night. He was surprised that everyone else managed to fall asleep. He had been feeling what felt like the start of labour and he was able to walk them off. He was sitting at his laptop in the corner of their bedroom just after midnight, not being able to sleep anyway, and he felt a huge contraction and stood up, only to hear a soft pop noise and the sound of his waters breaking.
“Blaine,” Kurt shook the man gently. “Blaine!”
This was the one time Kurt cursed the fact his husband was such a heavy sleeper.
“Mhm,” Blaine said sleepily. “What’s up babe?”
“Our child has decided to break my waters.” Kurt whispered as Blaine’s eyes flew open and he sped dialled Rachel.
Rachel said she would be there as soon as she could and Kurt made his way down the stairs. By the time Blaine came down, Kurt was in way too much pain to talk.
“Okay babe,” Blaine said calmly. “How far apart are they?”
Blaine timed the next contraction which was less than two minutes now. His face had gone pale because this baby was waiting for no one. He managed to get Kurt into the downstairs bathroom as Rachel opened the door with the spare key they gave her.
“We aren’t going to make it to the hospital.” Blaine explained, as she said she would keep the kids away from the bathroom if they woke.
Blaine had dialled emergency and was put through to someone who could direct him through the process.
“Okay Blaine,” The woman said kindly. “I am going to need you to check to see if you can either see, or feel a head.”
Blaine explained he couldn’t see anything before she explained to him how to check how far along Kurt was, which was now ten centimetres.
“Blaine,” Kurt whimpered. “What is happening?”
“We are just about to have another baby.” Blaine said calmly as he got Kurt into a comfortable position.
Kurt was listening to woman on the phone who was telling him exactly when to push. It was two rounds and nothing was happening.
“Kurt,” Blaine said as the taller man exhaustedly turned around. “Our baby has curls. I can see the top of the head.”
Kurt just nodded and in the next round the baby started to slowly come out. Four pushes later, and a loud scream was heard. Blaine placed the baby on Kurt’s stomach without checking the gender and listened for further instructions.
“Hi there,” Kurt looked at the small baby, hushing it so no one would wake up. Then he saw the gender and smiled. “You’re a little girl.”
“Blaine,” Kurt said as Blaine cut the cord. “We have a girl. I am scared for the name the kids have come up with.”
“You promised the kids.” Blaine laughed, knowing that he would soon need to find a psychologist. He walked out of the bathroom and saw Rachel in the living room with both Aiden and Eliza who had woken up. Blaine opened the door and both kids sat down next to Kurt who was perched up against the bathtub.
“This is your baby sister.” Kurt smiled as both kids just looked at the little girl. She had eyes like Kurt’s and Eliza’s but her hair was much more like Blaine’s and she didn’t have Kurt’s bitch glare.
“She is adorable,” Rachel said as Kurt just smiled. “Guys, do you want to tell Daddy and Papa what you told me.”
“We want to name her Katy.” Eliza smiled.
“Blaine!” Kurt snapped as Blaine tried to hold a straight face. “How did you bribe them to say that?”
“I didn’t do anything.” Blaine said truthfully.
Aiden spoke up. “Papa always says how important Katy Perry is to you and him. So that’s why you should name her that.”
Kurt smiled at the shorter man and thought about what Aiden said. Katy was the reason they met, the song that Blaine sung the first time he saw Kurt, and their wedding song. It will always have a special place in their hearts and he didn’t hate the name, either.
“What do you think of it,” Kurt asked. “But K-a-t-i-e, not the way that Katy Perry spells it. Katie Julia Hummel-Anderson.”
“I like it if you do.” Blaine said looking at the small girl he was now holding who was staring at the shorter man.
“Katie it is.” Kurt said as both children smiled and so did Rachel in the corner of the room.
While sitting and waiting for the ambulance, Kurt let both kids have a hold of the small girl. Blaine was sitting next to Kurt and both men agreed that that the small girl was the final piece to their family. Even though Katie was a complete surprise, she ended up being a perfect one and both men couldn’t imagine their life without the five minute old girl.
