It was their first evening at home with the three of them: Kurt, Blaine and Ella. They just got back from the hospital where they had to make sure everything was still okay with the paperworks for the adoption.

They had waited so long for this, getting a child. It took a long time before they actually agreed on adopting one. Kurt thought they were too young and too irresponsible to raise a baby on their own and every time Blaine protested Kurt brought up Bubble, Blaines goldfish who died when Blaine forgot to feed him for three days. Eventually Kurt agreed to adoption when he saw Blaine being all adorable with Daniel, mister Schuesters kid.

Today was the most stressful day of the process. In fact it was the most stressful day of their lives. This morning, Blaine couldnt tie his bowtie on his own because his hands were too shaky. Kurt burned himself on the coffee pot when he hastily tried to get another cup. All they could think of was: were finally becoming parents.

‘Come on, babygirl, Kurt cooed while he carried the purple carrycot in the house, ‘Lets get you inside huh? Blaine was trailing behind them, locking the car and jogging up to meet his husband and child in the living room.

‘Isnt she the sweetest, Kurtie? Blaine asked after Kurt put the carrycot down on the dining table, he put his arm around Kurts waist while he reached out to stroke over Ellas cheek.

‘Shes adorable, just like you, Kurt answered.

Blaine didnt look up at Kurt, too mesmerized by the cute girl in front of him. ‘I cant believe we did it, Kurt. Were parents, baby, we-were fathers.

Kurt kissed his husbands cheek. ‘We sure are, he murmured against the skin and tasted some saltiness on his lips. When he pulled away he saw a tear trickling down Blaines face. ‘Baby? Whats wrong? he asked, unsure of what Blaines answer was going to be.

‘Nothing, Blaine answered with a teary smile on his face, ‘Everythings just perfect. We have a beautiful home, a beautiful daughter to take care of and Im married to the sweetest man on earth. My life is absolutely perfect.

‘So theyre tears of happiness? Kurt asked.

Blaine nodded and smiled at Kurt. ‘Yeah, yeah of course they are sweetie. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and buried his face in his neck. ‘Were a family now.

Kurt looked at Ella who in her turn looked at Kurt with bright blue eyes and had the tiniest of smiles on her rosy lips. ‘Oh my God, Blainey, look! Shes smiling at us!

Blaine looked at his daughter on the table and untangled himself from Kurt to crouch down in front of her. He wiggled his finger close to her tiny hand and squealed when she softly grabbed and squeezed it. ‘Hey little Ella, papa loves you so much. You have no idea how much papa and daddy love you, Blaine said and kissed Ellas hand. He felt Kurts hand coming to rest on his shoulder and he smiled.

‘Youre going to be a wonderful dad, I can feel it, Kurt said and gently squeezed.

‘You too, babe, Blaine threw his head back to look at Kurt, ‘You too.

Kurt leaned down to kiss Blaine. It was an awkward kiss because Blaine was sitting in a weird position but they loved each other and thats all that matters. When Kurt pulled back to smile at Blaine he whispered: ‘I love you.

‘Mmm, I love you too,  Blaine replied and then turned back to Ella, ‘And I love you too.

‘You know she doesnt understands you yet, right? Kurt asked.

‘I know, but she needs to recognize our voices, Blaine answered, ‘Dont you, you little sweetheart? He put his hand gently on Ellas chest and felt her little heart beat.

‘Youre probably going to be the father who sings his daughter to sleep every night, Kurt chuckled.

‘Nonsense, were both going to be that kind of dad, Blaine protested, ‘Youll sing Lady Gaga songs and Ill sing Katys.

‘That kid is going to get so many headaches because of us... Her first words are probably going to be "shut up you losers and let me sleep!", Kurt said in a way that Blaine found incredibly adorable.

‘Again, nonsense! Shes going to love us! Blaine smiled and looked at Ella who yawned, ‘I think our little angel is tired, Blaine got up and started to unstrap Ella from the carrycot, ‘Lets get you to somewhere more comfortable huh? Blaine carefully took Ella in his arms and walked over to the couch where he sat down and held Ella close to his chest. He looked at Kurt and saw that Kurt was looking at them the way he looked at Blaine on the day they got married. A look full of adoration and eternal love.

‘Wait, wait, wait, Kurt said to himself while he walked towards the bedroom, ‘Dont you dare move, Blaine!

Blaine shrugged and whispered to Ella: ‘I dont know whats up with daddy but hes very happy that youre here. He heard Kurts padded feet getting closer but didnt take his eyes of Ella until the flash of the camera caught his eye and he heard Kurt squeal.

Kurt came to sit down next to Blaine, held out the camera so that he could see the picture and said: ‘Look how adorable you two are! Rachels going to be so jealous!

‘And even though daddy isnt in high school anymore, his grudge for Rachel Berry is still alive and kicking, Blaine continued talking to Ella.

‘Thats because she kissed papa twice and daddy wasnt too happy about that, Kurt said and held up two fingers.

‘Rachels kisses werent half as good as yours, Blaine said, ‘The second kiss didnt even count, she was trying to prove something. I already knew that I loved you, Blaine leaned closer to Kurt to kiss his cheek.

Kurt stroked over Ellas head, her light brown hair sticking up in different angles. Her eyes were drooping and Kurt figured shed be asleep in Blaines arms in a few moments. ‘Shes so beautiful, just like her papa.

Blaine protested: ‘I think she has her appearance more from her daddy instead of me.

What they were doing now was silly: comparing their child to each other. They both knew Ella didnt have any of their genes but at the hospital theyd been talking about how her nose looked like Blaines and her eyes looked like Kurts. Kurt hoped she would get Blaines hair. Curly locks that he could braid in the summer and where he could put a cute hat on in the winter. While Blaine would love it if she got Kurts hair. Straight, with a pony maybe and with locks that she would twirl around her finger when she gets older.

‘Maybe we should get her into bed, see how that works out. And then you can get some sleep too, since you woke up at 5am this morning, Kurt said when Blaine tried to stifle a yawn.  

‘Mhmm, yeah, sounds good, Blaine said and slowly got up from the couch and waited for Kurt to come and walk with him to their bedroom. In their bedroom was a pink crib close to Kurts side of their bed. Since Blaine was a heavy sleeper, they decided that the crib should be on Kurts side since hes a light sleeper so hed be up quicker when Ella would cry. The rest of the baby stuff was in the former guest bedroom which Blaine painted in a soft pastel purple and Kurt decorated with purple and yellow butterflies and flowers.

‘Come on, darling, sleepy sleep, Blaine whispered while he lowered Ella in the crib and covered her with the small blanket.

‘"Sleepy sleep"? Kurt asked, ‘Youre adorable.

‘I say weird things and I use a lot of diminutives when I talk to kids, okay? Get used to it because Ill do it a lot, Blaine said, he stood up straighter and rested his head on Kurts shoulder. They stared at the crib until Blaine yawned again.

‘I really think you need to "sleepy sleep" too, Kurt teased.

‘Mmm, Blaine mumbled and sauntered away from Kurt, ‘Ill be in bed if you need me.

‘Im going to catch up on some work before Im coming too, okay? Kurt walked over to Blaines side of the bed to kiss him sweetly on the lips, ‘Sweet dreams, honey, I love you.

‘I love you too, Blaine mumbled before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Kurt turned off the lights and quietly closed the door behind him, not wanting to wake up his two sweethearts. He sat down at the dining table and opened his laptop and his sketchbook at the page where he left. Isabelle gave him the chance to design a clothing line for whatever age or gender he wanted so of course he was designing clothes for babies and toddlers, hoping Ella could wear one of his designs one day. In his sketchbook were doodles of little purple and yellow colored dresses and matching shoes. Now he was sketching a yellow bowtie with purple hearts at the shoulder of the dress and smiled; Blaine would be stunned if he saw the design. The colors, the bowtie, everything about that design screamed "Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson!".

He finished his diet coke before shutting his laptop off and closing his sketchbook. He tip-toed into the bedroom where he heard Blaine snoring softly and went to look in the crib. Ella was peacefully asleep just like her dad and Kurt grinned; he didnt think their first night with the baby would go so well. He changed into his pajamas and got into bed next to Blaine,  he threw his arm over Blaines waist and laid his head on his chest which rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing. He smiled into Blaines chest when he felt Blaines hand coming up to rest on his back and Blaine moaned.

Kurt brushed his fingers over Blaines hip and closed his eyes. From now on their life was perfect, they found their missing puzzle piece. They were complete.
