Kurt was currently laying on his back in the garden of his and Blaine's new 4 bedroom house. Listening to the sounds of the city all around him, combined with the sounds of the birds tweeting in the trees surrounding him.
Kurt was no ordinary 27 year old, he was a pregnant 27 year old, currently 9 months pregnant and only a few days away from his due date, to tell the truth he was petrified. So many things could go wrong with a normal pregnancy, let alone with a male pregnancy and he was well aware of that fact.
Blaine came sauntering out of their back door, tray of lemonade in hand, and froze at the sight in front of him. Kurt was lay on a blanket in the middle of the lawn, hand resting gently on his very swollen stomach, and truth be told, Blaine had never seen anything quite so beautiful. He was glowing with the pregnancy and Blaine had never found his husband more attractive than he did right now.
He moved slowly over to Kurt, being careful not to scare him, especially not a few days before his due date, who knows what could happen?! He set the lemonade down on the grass next to Kurt and lay down next to him, wrapping his arm securely around Kurt's bump, loving to feel the stretched skin, and knowing his child, his and Kurt's child was growing in there.
"You OK honey?" Kurt sighed and turned his head towards Blaine "I'm so scared Blaine, what if something goes wrong" he tried to stop the tears from dripping down his cheek but couldn't and before he knew it he was all out balling into Blaine's shoulder. Blaine tried his best to comfort him, but it was an awkward angle and Kurt could no longer be pulled on top of him. So he just awkwardly patted Kurt's back letting him sob until he couldn't sob anymore.
Eventually Kurt pulled himself together and struggled to sit up, with a little assistance from Blaine he managed to sit up, taking a glass of the lemonade Blaine had made him, gratefully swallowing it down. He put the glass back down and went to lie back down, as he did he felt a sharp pain rip through his stomach.
"Ahh, shit, fuck, that hurts!" "Honey, honey, what is it, what hurts??" Blaine was immediately in front of Kurt looking at him with big concerned eyes. Before Kurt could reply he was groaning in pain again. This can't be good Kurt thought to himself.
Blaine started rubbing soothing circles on Kurt's back. Over the next 20 minutes or so Kurt continued to have a steady stream of contractions, that were growing closer and closer together, all the while Blaine whispered words of encouragement in his ear, massaging his back and mentally planning their route to the hospital.
When the contractions were getting closer than 5 minutes apart Blaine knew it was time to start thinking of making their way to the hospital. "Kurt, sweetheart, I need you to get up" Kurt, with the help of Blaine managed to get back on his feet, they made their way slowly back into the house, and out towards their car.
"Bl--Blaine, I can't do this, it hurts so much, I don't know what to do! Please make it stop!" Blaine's heart nearly tore out of his chest at this, he wished more than anything it was him in this position rather than Kurt, it was the hardest thing ever having to hear your husband in pain, knowing you, in a way caused it, and can do nothing to help him.
"I know, honey, I know, but just think about it, in a few hours we will have a beautiful baby boy, and you can dress him up in all of your outfits you've spent the past 8 months planning, just focus on that sweetheart" That made Kurt smile, before he was wincing again as the next contraction hit.
Once safely in the car, Blaine held tightly the Kurt's hand, trying not to swerve on the way to the hospital when Kurt kept squeezing his hand in pain. He knew better than to complain though and just bit his lip through the pain in his hand. On the way he called Burt and Carole and told them what was happening, as well as Finn and Rachel, all of whom said they would catch the next flight and hopefully be with them in a few hours time.
Blaine parked up at the hospital and ran around to Kurt's side of the car gently helping him out of the car, all the while whispering words to Kurt, trying, in vain to calm him down. Once they made their way into the hospital's waiting room Blaine checked them in, and Kurt was whisked away in a wheelchair, Blaine hot on his heels.
Once in their own delivery room, Kurt was hooked up to all kinds of machines, measuring every statistic under the sun, still grimacing in pain every couple of minutes.
"Hi Kurt" Kurt and Blaine turned their heads to see a kind looking doctor make his way into the room. "I'm Doctor Harrison, and I will be your Doctor today to bring your baby boy into the world" Kurt managed a weak smile whilst Blaine shook Dr. Harrison's hand. "Now, Kurt, I'm just going to check you to see how far along you are, it's probably going to be a bit uncomfortable"
Blaine gripped Kurt's hand as the doctor did his examinations, stroking Kurt's hair and moving it away from his face, and rubbing at Kurt's tensing stomach. "Good News Kurt, you're already at 8 cms, it's not going to be long until you meet your son now!"
Kurt sighed in relief, although it was short lived when another contraction hit him.
"Now, what position would you like to be in to give birth?"
"I want to be standing holding onto the bed with Blaine behind me"
"Not a problem Kurt, why don't you slowly stand up, that should help move the labor on nicely, whilst I go and get everything ready for the birth" Dr.Harrison left the room leaving a shocked Kurt and Blaine behind. This was really happening, no going back now. Blaine swallowed heavily and looked over at Kurt, who was crying again. Man up Anderson, your husband needs you, now is not the time for you to be weak, you need to be strong for Kurt
Blaine helped Kurt up from the bed "Argh!! Blaine! this hurts so much, please do this for me! I can't do this! I'm not strong enough, please Blaine!!" Blaine continued to run Kurt's back as he was leaning over the bed "Honey, you are the strongest person I know, you CAN do this, and you will, and then we can see our baby boy, and live happily ever after!"
Kurt chuckled at Blaine's dorkiness, but leaned back into him to place a kiss on his cheek, he loved his dorky husband.
"Bl--Blaine, I need to push, I really really need to push, arghhhh, help me Blaine!" Blaine panicked and ran towards the door, yelling for Dr.Harrison, at anyone who could hear him.
Doctor Harrison came running in a few seconds later, although Blaine would always claim it had taken him 3 hours to come into the room. Kurt was now swearing profusely telling Blaine how much he hated him, hated him for getting him in this position in the first place. Blaine just continued to rub Kurt's back, occasionally running his hand across Kurt's contracting stomach, loving the feeling of his son trying to make his appearance into the world.
"Right Kurt, you're now at 10cm, I'm going to need you to follow my instructions exactly. Blaine, make sure you support Kurt's weight and comfort him as best you can." Blaine swallowed anxiously, but nodded curtly at the doctor. He kissed the side of Kurt's neck whispering to him "Kurt, honey, this is it, we're about to meet our son, you can do this honey, I love you so much"
"i love you to-oo Bl-Blaine" Kurt panted in Blaine's general direction.
"Kurt, on the next contraction, push as hard as you can" Blaine watched in anguish as his husband pushed with all his might, clearly in so much pain, he did his best to comfort him, but nothing he was doing seemed to be helping. He kept whispering to Kurt and that seemed to sooth him slightly, so he continued.
"That's it Kurt, keep going, keep giving me nice big pushes" Blaine was all out crying now along with Kurt, he was holding all of Kurt's weight as he beared down and continued to push their son into this world. Blaine bent down and watched as a dime size of black curly hair was currently being pushed out of Kurt, he couldn't help the sob that escaped his mouth at the sight of his son having his hair.
"Kurt, baby he has black curly hair, like his papa, you're doing so good Kurt, just a few more pushes."
Kurt pushed with all his might, gripping Blaine's hands tightly and listening to Blaine's soothing voice, until he could feel the burn as the head came out.
"Shit, fuck, the burn, Blaine, the burn, it hurtssss!"
"I know, sweetheart, I know, just a couple more pushes and he'll be here!"
Kurt gathered all his remaining energy and focused on the last couple of pushes.
Blaine watched in awe as his son entered the world, crying out and hugging Kurt to him, as Kurt lost the strength in his legs. the both sighed in relief as they heard the screams of their son fill the room. "Kurt, you did it! I'm so so proud of you!" Kurt gave Blaine a weak smile and shuffled himself round until he was sat on the edge of the bed.
Nurses shuffled around them, sorting Kurt out, and sorting the baby out. Until eventually a blue bundle was placed in Kurt's arms, they both stared down at their son, and burst into tears, the had a son, an actual son!
"Kurt, he's beautiful, he has your gorgeous eyes, and unfortunately for him, my crazy hair!" "Aw, I love your hair honey"
They both shared a slow kiss, muttering 'I love yous' to each other until their son gave a squeak letting them both know he was still there.
"So, what do you want to call him? Any ideas?
"I like Elijah" Blaine considered the name for a few seconds, "Elijah Hummel-Anderson, hmm, I like it"
Both men stared down at Elijah, knowing full well the next few weeks and months weren't going to be easy, but knowing they both couldn't love anything quite as much as they loved the little bundle currently sleeping soundly in Kurt's arms.
