"..shh Elijah, we have to be really quiet bringing Daddy his breakfast." They sounded like a heard of elephants coming up the stairs, Elijah was clearly excited by whatever he had in his hands as he was squealing rather loudly.
Kurt decided he would play along though, pretending to be fast asleep, even though they probably could have woken the dead. He heard their bedroom door creak open and the patter of tiny feet across the carpet. Blaine came in more leisurely, putting something down on the bedside table before lifting Elijah up on the bed.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Kurt pretended to be stunned by the wake up, blinking his eyes open to see his son sat on the end of the bed grinning at him, and Blaine sat by his side with a tray in his hands.
"Thank you! Did you make all this munchkin?"
"With a little help from Papa, yes he did"
"Well then, thank you both, come here and give me cuddles and birthday kisses"
Kurt was attacked then by an overexcited Elijah giving him a big hug and sloppy kisses all over his face. If there was one thing he loved most in the world it was spending time with his husband and son. Blaine leant over and gave him a kiss, this time not sloppy and all over his face, which Kurt was glad for.
"Now, baby, you'll have to wait until later for your presents from us, for now though enjoy your breakfast!" Blaine handed Kurt the tray which was loaded with all his favourites, cereal, pancakes and a glass of apple juice.
Kurt was starving and quickly started devouring the food in front of him, chatting away to both Blaine and Elijah as he ate.
"So what's the plans for today?" Blaine smiled a very knowing smile and Kurt would be concerned if he didn't trust his husband, he knew something was going on he just didn't know what it was.
"Well, Rachel is going to take you shopping this morning, she was adament she got to spend time with you on your birthday." Blaine rolled his eyes as Rachel's antics when in fact he was grateful that Rachel was taking him out so he could get everything ready for the party later.
"Then, this afternoon, Elijah and I will get to spend some time with you, we thought a picnic in the park would be nice on a day like this"
Kurt smiled wide, the birthday they had planned sounded perfect and Kurt was excited to get started, he handed the now empty tray back to Blaine and shimmied himself to the edge of the bed, easing himself up. That's the one things about being pregnant with twins, even at 16 weeks pregnant he already looked about 23 weeks pregnant with one baby.
Quickly getting dressed, taking his time, it was his birthday after all, he was ready and just trying to slip his shoes on as the doorbell rang. Blaine got the door greeting Rachel with his usual hug and kiss, whispering something Kurt couldn't hear in her ear.
"Right! Kurt! Come on! We have a busy morning planned and there is no time to waste!" Rachel looked positively manic at the thought of spending the morning shopping with Kurt.
"Ugh! Rach, you do know I'm pregnant and the only speed I do is extra slow, so calm yourself and take a deep breath, we will get everything done just at my pace, okay?"
Rachel looked a little sheepish obviously forgetting her best friends situation, like it wasn't obvious.
"Okay I'm sorry, but let's go, I'll drive!" Kurt kissed Blaine and placed a kiss to Elijah's head as he headed out the front door. Rachel started talking his ear off before they had even hit the freeway. This was going to be a long morning.
Blaine closed the door on Kurt and Rachel, turning around to face Elijah. "Come on buddy, let's get you dressed we have to go and pick Grandpa Burt and Grandma Carole up from the airport, and then we can come back and decorate!" Elijah laughed at his Papa, clearly not having understood a word he said but laughing anyway.
Once Elijah was dressed they were in the car and making their way to the airport. Standing and waiting for Burt and Carole seemed to take ages, with the hoards of people coming through Blaine thought he had somehow missed them. It wasn't until he heard a very familiar voice across the lounge did he know they hadn't missed them at all.
"Is that my grandbaby? I don't think it is! He's too big to be Elijah Hummel-Anderson!" Elijah ran as fast as his little legs could carry him straight into his Grandpa's arms. Blaine watched as Burt spun Elijah around in his arms kissing all over his face. Blaine went and greeted Carole taking her bags from her, before greeting Burt, exchanging the usual pleasantries they headed back to Blaine's car.
Blaine filled them all in on the progress of Kurt's pregnancy, on news of his work and news of Elijah as well. Burt and Carole fussing the whole time over Elijah who was sat in his car seat chewing on the snacks Blaine had given him for the journey.
"So, what's the plans for this afternoon?" Blaine looked up at his father-in-law smiling slightly at the thought of all the planning he had put into this afternoon.
"Well, Rachel is due to bring Kurt back at around 2, so everyone is arriving at 1.30, we are going to go and pick the cake up on the way home, and the caterers are coming in at 12.30 to set all the food up. If you guys could just help me decorate and watch Elijah for me whilst I sort everything out, that would be amazing!"
"You tell us where you need us Blaine, and we'll be there, buddy!" He filled Carole and Burt in on the guest list, which was a lot larger than he had originally intended, but it looked set to be an amazing afternoon.
When they arrived back to the house, cake in hand, Blaine handed Elijah over to Carole before showing Burt their guest room where he could dump their bags. Carole took Elijah outside to the swingset they had bought Elijah for his first birthday.
With that Blaine and Burt took on the task of decorating the house, working together in harmony, much like they had done for Elijah's birthday all those months ago. Soon enough the house looked every inch the part house, streamers hanging everywhere and balloons placed strategically throughout the living room and dining room, and a big banner over the entranceway to the dining room with the words 'Happy Birthday Kurt' in big red letters.
The caterers arrived bang on time and Blaine directed them to the dining room where they unloaded all the delicious looking food that Blaine had ordered, catering for adults and children alike. Blaine, Burt, Carole and Elijah took the opportunity to go upstairs and changed into their party gear, Blaine in a grey pair of slacks and a grey cardigan, topped off with a bow tie. Elijah was wearing a similar outfit to his Papa, one which Kurt had picked out a couple of weeks prior when they had gone into the City shopping.
Much quicker than Blaine would have liked, the doorbell started going, the guests being quick to fill the house, hugs and kisses being exchanged, and children running around the living room and garden. To the outsider it would look like chaos, to Blaine it looked like the perfect birthday party, filled with everyone Kurt loved and adored.
At five to two, Blaine asked everyone to gather in the living room, staying as silent as possible, which was a difficult task with so many children. A car pulled into their drive, and the unmistakable sound of Rachel still talking Kurt's ear off could be heard. As soon as the key was in the door, everyone held their breath, not wanting to spoil the surprise too early.
"Rach, please, just gimme a minute, you've been talki--" "SURPRISE!" Kurt nearly fell over from shock, one minute he was having a go at Rachel, the next his living room was filled with all his friends and family, Blaine and Elijah smack bang in the middle, massive grins on their faces. Blaine stepped forward.
"Happy Birthday Baby! I wanted to surprise you with this, you are an amazing father, husband, brother, son, friend and this is to celebrate you, and how much you mean to us all, so enjoy!" Kurt burst into tears, he had never realised just how many people cared this much about him.
He spotted his Dad and Carole behind Blaine, practically jumping into his fathers arms, despite the baby bump and him actually now being taller than him. Kurt was almost speechless, as he made his way around getting hugs and congratulations all around, he was still trying to take it all in.
He hardly saw Blaine the first couple of hours, everyone filling themselves with the delicious food on offer, and mingling amongst themselves. At some point the karaoke machine had been dusted off and Finn and Rachel were currently doing a rendition of "Just give me a reason" their 11th song in a row.
Blaine's voice interrupted Rachel's attempt at a 12th song, declaring it time for cake, which everyone cheered, Kurt wasn't entirely sure whether that was because of the cake or the let up in the singing, either way he moved over to where the cake was.
It was a beautiful chocolate cake, with "Happy Birthday Kurt" iced on the top. Before he had a chance to blow the candles out, Blaine was clearing his throat.
"Before we sing Happy Birthday, I just want to do a small speech in honor of Kurt." Blaine turned towards Kurt, who was already starting to cry just at the thought of what the speech would contain, damn hormones!
"Baby, I just want to say Happy Birthday, you are the most amazing man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, let alone convincing to be my husband. Everyday I count myself lucky, you have given me a gorgeous little boy, and will soon give me two more beautiful children, for which I cannot thank you enough. You have the hardest job out of any of us, running this house and looking after soon to be three kids, and I don't think you often get enough recognition for that, so, this is for you, I love you, and Happy Birthday!"
All the guests raised their glasses in a toast, and as Kurt blew the candles out on his cake, no wish was said, he already had everything he could ever wish for.
