"Blaine!" Kurt yelled from the living room. He was sitting on their couch, surrounded by pillows; a few pieces of mail in front of him.

"Yea."

Kurt held out a piece of mail. "It's from the college. I'm guessing it's your class schedule for fall semester."

"Oh great. What about yours? What's it look like?"

Kurt looked down. "I didn't get one."

Blaine's eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "Well we can call and have them resend it."

"I uhm - won't be getting one because I'm not going to school in the fall." He stood up. "Now what do you want for dinner. I can cook anything."

"Wait! Kurt what do you mean you aren't going to school in the fall? College is the one thing you wanted to continue through the entire pregnancy."

Kurt sighed and sat back down again, trying not to cry. "I'm not going in the fall."

Blaine stared at him. "Yea I got that Kurt. Why not?"

"Blaine I'm going to be in the last trimester of my pregnancy and I'll be tired and irritated more than I already am and I won't be able go to campus without someone coming up to me and asking about it and I can't do it."

"Kurt -."

"No. My mind is made up. I'm still going to go to college. It's just pushed back. We clearly didn't think it through Blaine. I don't want to be doing the work load at nine months pregnant. It's not good for me or the baby."

Blaine stared at Kurt longer, then got up and knelt in front of him, taking both his hands. "Okay. I agree with you Kurt. I just don't want you to give up on your dream."

Kurt smiled down at his boyfriend. "I'm not I promise. I'm just pushing it back a semester."

Blaine nodded and leaned up placing a light peck to Kurt's lips. "I love you."

"Love you too." Kurt smiled.

"Now you said something about dinner?"

Kurt shoved his shoulder, rolling his eyes but smiling. "Oh god, fine, let's go to the kitchen."

(12:37am): What's your dream vacation spot besides New York?

(12:38am): Blaine! You know I would only want to go to New York.

(12:40am): Kurt, I've only known you for a few weeks and the amount of times you've brought up New York is a little excessive. Now there has to be somewhere besides NY that you'd want to go.

(12:41am): Fine. I would love to vacation to Cali. I want to do it all. Disney, the ocean, the zoo. Everything.

(12:42am): I bet you're obsessed with Monkeys. ;)

(12:44am): Nope. Guess again Blaine Warbler.

(12:45am): Hmm, what zoo animal is Kurt Hummel obsessed with..hmm

(12:45am): You tell me.

(12:46am): I'm thinking polar bears.

(12:49am): Cold.

(12:55am): Shoot! Hmm...okay then, Giraffes.

(12:58am): Warmer. They have long necks.

(1:02am): Oh! Ostrich! Am I right??

(1:09am): Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner folks.

"Coop!" Blaine yelled while walking towards his brother from the terminal.

"Blainers! Hug me brotha!" He opened his arms wide.

Blaine rolled his eyes at Cooper's reference to Drake and Josh but hugged him none the less. Kurt was standing behind the two brothers when someone familiar caught his eye.

"Hadley?"

The redhead looked over to Kurt with a smile. "Hey."

"Hadley!!" Kurt yelled again practically running up to the girl and squeezing her tightly. The sound made Blaine pull back, a surprised 'O' gracing his face. He looked at his older brother with a knowing look in his eye.

"Stop Blaine." Cooper said, looking over at Kurt, who was chatting excitedly with the blue eyed girl.

"I'm not saying anything." He walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. Wow he had missed this girl.

Cooper came over a second later. "Shall we?"

Blaine and Kurt nodded, following Cooper out to the car with their bags in tow.

**

"So tell me again how you two got back together?" Blaine asked from across the booth.

After making it to California all four immediately went back to Cooper's apartment so they could unpack. While Kurt took a short nap, Blaine showered and a few hours later all four were heading out again towards The Edison, one of the restaurants on Kurt's California Bucket List. Now they were seated in a booth, Kurt and Blaine on one side, Cooper and Hadley on the other.

"Uhm -." Cooper started but Hadley cut him off.

"He was an idiot, he finally admitted it and now here we are."

"Still - Hadley I haven't seen you since, before I went to New York." Kurt said. "Where did you go?"

"London. I lived around there for a while. But it just - it wasn't me. So I picked up and moved out here."

"And you two just happen to run into each other?" Blaine pried.

"No," Cooper laughed. "Our mothers are still as close as ever Blaine. Mom called me after talking with Julia who told her that Hadley was back in the states and more importantly my state and that is how we got back together."

Kurt cooed over the couple. Hadley lived next to the Andersons for as long as either brother could remember. Kurt only knew her a few months before she left but he had gotten close with her. She dated Cooper on/off for three years before leaving. After their break - up that ended everything, Cooper moved to California and apparently Hadley went across the ocean. But Kurt knew. He knew they were perfect for each other and someday they would find their way back to each other, and clearly he was right.

"Enough about us though," Hadley said, taking a sip of her iced tea. "What about you two? You're having a baby for god sakes!"

Blaine laughed, shaking his head. "Yep. A boy."

"Aw!! God you boys are going to be great fathers."

Blaine felt something tug at his heart. "Thanks Hadley."

She smiled at him. "Of course B. Now tell me everything about everything!! I haven't seen you guys in forever!!"

All three boys laughed at the girls' enthusiasm but started talking all she had missed from Ohio.

"Wait so you're telling me Mitchell didn't rip off your heads?" She asked, directing it towards the couple on the other side of the booth.

Kurt nodded, taking a bite of their shared Edison Platter. "I thought I was going to throw up if I'm being completely honest. But Blaine was rambling and not saying anything so I just spit it out."

"Nice baby bro." Cooper said.

"Hey, you go tell dad you knocked up your boyfriend then we can talk okay?"

The whole table laughed.

"Do you have any names in mind?"

"A few. But we're still in-between." Blaine told her.

"Well that's okay you still have time right?"

Both boys nodded.

They all finished the platter, Cooper paying after fighting with Blaine about the bill, and then all were headed back to the apartment.

"I think I'm gonna die. I'm so tired." Kurt said from the back seat, his head leaning against the head rest.

"We can go to bed baby." Blaine whispered, rubbing his hand over Kurt's belly.

"Sounds wonderful."

Cooper watched in the rearview mirror, smiling at his baby brother.

"Sleeping actually sounds wonderful." Hadley said towards Cooper.

He turned to her and smiled. "Then we can also go to bed." He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Oh my god Coop!"

"What?" He feigned innocence.

Blaine just laughed. "Nothing. Never mind."

"Goodnight boys." Hadley said, going and hugging them both before walking off towards the master bedroom.

"Night Cooper," Kurt hugged him and then turned to Blaine. "I'll see you in there." He turned away from the brothers and sluggishly walked towards the spare room.

"Night little bro. I'm really happy to have you here." He patted Blaine on the shoulder.

"I'm happy to be here." Blaine replied smiling. They embraced, and then both brothers went their separate ways to the people they loved who were waiting for them.

"So - what are we doing while Hadley and Kurt are at their massages?" Cooper asked the next afternoon. They had just come from dropping off the other two at the spa for the afternoon and now he wasn't sure what his brother wanted them to do.

"Shopping?"

Cooper sighed. "Oh god."

Blaine knocked into him with his shoulder. "For the baby. Well for Kurt. I want to get him something special and I think I have the perfect thing."

"Fine but this better not be like the last time I went shopping with you for Kurt and you looked like a lost puppy."

"It won't be." Blaine said laughing loudly.

"Fantastic, let's go then."

**

"What about this?" Blaine asked, pointing to yet another baby item.

"Blaine, I thought you knew what you wanted. We need to pick them up soon." Cooper sighed and looked at his watch again. It was almost six. "And we need dinner."

"I'm sorry. I thought I knew what I wanted but nothing is calling to me."

"We aren't shopping for wands Blaine. You have to find whatever this gift is on your own."

"I know I'm -." He stopped mid - sentence, his eyes zoning in on a jewelry case. He walked towards it slowly, keeping his eye on the one thing that caught his eye. He got closer and saw the tiny bracelet. It had a cutout heart on the main plate and a small clasp to keep it shut. Blaine was so focused on it he missed the worker talking to him.

" - depends what you engrave I guess." The worker was saying.

Blaine looked up. "What? Sorry I missed that."

The worker, whose name tag said 'Stephen', smiled. "I was just talking about this tiny bracelet. Its for a baby of course, and you can get it engraved. The usual cost is around seventy dollars, but it depends on what the engraving is. Are you interested?"

Blaine continued to stare down at the bracelet. This was perfect for their baby. This would be a gift to Kurt and their son. "I think so."

"Would you want to get it engraved?" Stephen asked, pulling it out of the case.

Blaine nodded. "Yes, I would love to."

"Watcha getting?" Cooper asked walking to meet up with his brother.

"It's a baby bracelet."

"Aww." Cooper over exaggerated.

"Shut up." Blaine said, punching him in the arm.

"Alright, what do you want engraved on it?"

Blaine knew exactly what to put.

**

"Was it a good massage?" Blaine asked later that night, he and Kurt snuggling in bed.

"It was great. And I loved catching up with Hadley. She's so perfect for Cooper." Kurt mumbled into his neck, peppering light kisses there.

"Isn't she though?" Blaine said. "They better get married."

Kurt just hummed, continuing to kiss Blaine's neck. Blaine stretched a little to expose more skin and Kurt happily moved closer to Blaine. Soon their lips were connected in a searing kiss. Kurt's tongue peaked out, lightly teasing Blaine's upper lip. He knew it drove the younger boy crazy. Blaine moaned and tugged Kurt closer by his pajama top, kissing him harder.

Blaine was about to slide his hands into Kurt's pants when a loud banging on the door made them jump apart.

"Coming in so everyone better be decent!" Cooper yelled from the hallway.

"We're good Coop jesus." Blaine said, a blush spreading across his face.

Cooper entered in just a pair of boxers, Hadley following closely behind with an oversized tee on.

"I'm sorry, I tried to get him to put pants on but he wouldn't."

Cooper just rolled his eyes. "Plans for tomorrow?"

"Blaine and I are going to the beach with one of my very best friends who lives here."

"So we'll have the house to ourselves."

Blaine hit his hand to his forehead. "If that's why you came in here, please get out."

Cooper ignored him. "What time will you be home?"

"Around nine."

He smiled. "Great, goodnight boys." He blew them kisses then walked out, Hadley following.

Blaine groaned at his brother. Sometimes he was the most annoying little shit.

"Oh my god Blaine, remember the first time Cooper walked in on us making out?"

Blaine started laughing, remembering the memory. Kurt couldn't help but join. It was a funny experience after all. Embarrassing beyond belief, but the look on Cooper's face was priceless.

Blaine ran his hands over his boyfriend's bare back, the smooth skin warm. He was staring at the ceiling, trying not to come in his pants as Kurt kissed down his neck.

"Oh god Kurt...Mmm..."

Kurt moved back to his lips, tugging on his lower one, earning another groan.

"Blaine -."

The door slammed open and a loud "BROTHA!!" sounded throughout the room, ringing in both boys ears. Blaine and Kurt's head snapped to the side where Cooper stood in the doorway a large smile on his face. His eyes were closed, his head was thrown back and he was standing with his arms out. Blaine's face went pale as he saw his brother. He was supposed to be on vacation with Hadley at her family cabin. He immediately flipped Kurt over and tried to cover him.

Cooper finally opened his eyes and they suddenly went wide.

"Cooper! Out!!"

"I - I - Blaine -."

"Kurt, Blaine!! We're back." And suddenly Hadley was making her way into Blaine's room. She saw the scene in front of her, Kurt and Blaine shirtless in bed, Cooper just staring at them. She blushed. "Oh my god! We are so sorry, aren't we Coop?"

Cooper just nodded, still staring at his baby brother in bed with his boyfriend.

"We'll just get out of your hair. Bye!" Hadley pushed Cooper out of the room, slamming the door behind them.

"Did that really just happen?" Kurt asked after a few minutes of silence. Blaine started laughing. Which made Kurt start laughing. The two of them ended in a fit of giggles.

**

"Bye Blaine." Kurt said, placing a light kiss to his lips.

"Bye. See you tomorrow."

Kurt smiled and nodded, then turned and left, leaving Blaine alone.

"Blaine! Living room!!" Cooper yelled.

He sighed at his brother but none the less made his way to the living room.

"Sit down little bro." Cooper pointed to the couch.

"What do you need Coop?"

"It's what you need little bro."

Blaine sighed. "I don't know what that means."

Cooper sat next to him on the couch and then handed him a few pamphlets. Blaine looked down at them and his eyes went wide, a blush spreading over his cheeks.

"What -?"

"Blaine, I walked in on you and Kurt practically going at each other. I think we need to have the talk."

"Stop! Stop Cooper, we were just kissing. We've only been dating a few months, we aren't ready for sex, please stop."

"Blaine," Cooper placed a hand on his shoulder. "When you love someone..."

**

"I didn't know that happened!" Kurt said laughing into Blaine's shoulder.

"It wasn't funny! It was so embarrassing Kurt!"

"I'm sorry. But that's great. Oh god I love Cooper."

Blaine pouted. "But you love me more."

Kurt smiled and leaned up giving Blaine a small kiss. "I do."

Blaine's smile was priceless. "Good. Now let's sleep because we have a big day tomorrow."

"Goodnight Blaine."

Blaine pulled Kurt closer. "Goodnight."

Kurt always wanted to go to the beach. Ever since he was a little kid he'd had dreams of running through the water, building sand castles and drinking lemonade. But now that he was here, all he wanted to do was go back inside to the air conditioned house. Being pregnant at the beach was horrible. He couldn't get cool, and he had sand in places he couldn't reach!

"Kurt! Come in here." Blaine yelled from the ocean, waves washing over him.

"Can't!" He yelled back.

Blaine rolled his eyes but went back to splashing in the water. Kurt watched as a little girl went up to his boyfriend and asked him something. Blaine was smiling wide at her and picked her up and placed her on his shoulders, then started running around in the water, her squealing reaching Kurt's ears. Blaine was going to be a great father, no matter what anyone said.

"Hey you."

Kurt was pulled out of his thoughts by his friend.

"Hi! God you look great." Kurt said, getting up and hugging her.

"Thanks! I've lost ninety pounds already."

"Mercedes that's amazing. Congratulations."

"Thanks! So Blaine?"

"Oh," He pointed to his boyfriend. "Playing in the water with some girl."

"Cute."

Kurt laughed. "Yea, he's so excited to be here."

"Let's go join him!" She got up and took off her summer dress and started running towards Blaine. Kurt let his head fall back but then got up and made his way to the ocean to join his boyfriend and best friend.

**

"That was so fun." Blaine said, bouncing in the booth at the small diner they were all eating at.

"I'm burned." Kurt said, showing his bright pink shoulders.

"Still fun." Mercedes agreed with Blaine.

Kurt huffed and took a sip of his chocolate malt.

"What's on the agenda for tomorrow?" Mercedes asked.

"The Zoo." Blaine said immediately.

"Yay! That'll be fun."

"It's what I've been looking forward to the most this entire trip!" Kurt said, mood finally changing. "I want to see all the animals and everything! And Ostriches!! Arg I'm just so excited!"

Blaine and Mercedes laughed.

"And you say I'm the one that acts like the five year old."

"Move over a little. A little more. A little more..."

"Blaine! Just take the picture!"

Blaine smiled and captured the picture. Kurt was standing near an Ostrich, a toothy grin on his face.

"Let me see!!" Kurt said grabbing the camera out of Blaine's hand. "Oh my god! Look I have a picture with a real LA Ostrich! I feel like a super star."

"God Kurt, you act like a five year old sometimes I swear."

"I'm just excited is all, they're my favorite animal after all."

"I know I'm just kidding." Blaine held out his hand for Kurt to grab. "Let's go buy a stuffed one for the baby."

"Yes! Oh my goodness then he can learn to love them and be just like me!"

Blaine just laughed as they walked into the gift shop. They walked around looking at the different stuffed animals until Kurt found the perfect Ostrich he wanted.

They were still walking around when Blaine stopped Kurt in the back of the small gift shop. "Hey hold on."

"What?"

Blaine took a deep breath and pulled out a black velvet box. "I -."

"Wait. Is that an engagement ring?"

"What?"

Kurt looked at Blaine. "Because I love you, I do. But we have this baby coming and a lot of other things are going on right now and getting married -."

"Kurt! It's not an engagement ring. Here." He handed Kurt the small box.

He opened the box and was greeted with the tiny bracelet Blaine bought a few days ago. He pulled it out of the box, loving it already. On the main plate of the bracelet there was the engraving 'my daddies love me'. Kurt looked up to Blaine with watery eyes.

"I got it for you and the baby."

"Blaine - its - wow. It's perfect. I love it."

"You do? It isn't too much?"

"What? No! It's great."

Blaine pulled Kurt into a hug. "I just wanted to get you and him something that's special you know?"

"Blaine," Kurt said pulling back and looking him in the eye. "This is special, and I can't thank you enough. It's perfect. I love you so much."

"I love you too babe." They lightly kissed.

"Let's go home."

"Oh - oh I love you, I love you so much."

"Kurt, stop molesting the cat." Blaine said, laughing at his boyfriend.

"I'm sorry I missed my baby."

Blaine rolled his eyes. "Okay, I'm going to bed it's almost three am."

"Me too I'm -." Kurt was cut off by his phone ringing. Who would call him at three in the morning?

"Hello?"

"Kurt?" He heard the familiar voice say.

"Andrew?"

Blaine immediately looked at Kurt from the bathroom.

"It's Ryan. He's in a lot of pain. We thought they were just Braxton Hicks. But they keep getting worse, we're going to the hospital. Could you come watch Izzy? My parents aren't going to be here until tomorrow because the baby is two weeks early."

Kurt looked at Blaine, who just nodded and started putting his shoes back on. "Of course, we'll be there in a few minutes."

"Thank you so much." The line went dead.

"What's wrong? Did he say?"

They moved about each other, getting re-dressed and heading out the door.

"Ryan is in a lot of pain. They were thinking Braxton Hicks but they keep getting worse and Andrew is pretty sure he's in labor."

"Well it's only a couple weeks early so that's good. And I'm glad to help."

"Me too." Kurt said from the passenger seat.

They arrived ten minutes later. Andrew had a bag in his hand, and Ryan was clutching his large belly.

"Thank you boys so much. I'm so - ow...heehee..whooo..ow."

"Contraction." Andrew said.

"Right." Kurt said, looking at Ryan.

"Okay, so my parents will be here tomorrow afternoon and hopefully we have a baby by then. Thanks again!"

Kurt smiled and waved as they got in their car and headed for the hospital.

"I just checked on Izzy and she's sound asleep, so we should go sleep for a while before she wakes up."

"Sounds like a plan." He said walking past Blaine.

Blaine pulled Kurt by the arm into his. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He lied.

Blaine didn't want to push, it had already been such a busy night, so he just nodded and said 'okay' before they both made their way to the guest bedroom for a sleepless night. Neither knowing what tomorrow would hold.
