So today was the day, the day in which they found out the sexes of their twins, Kurt was so excited he felt like the last 24 hours had gone by at half the pace. He just wanted to know so he could sort the nursery out and really start buying for his two new bundles of joy.
Cooper was coming over with Claire to look after Elijah whilst they went to the surgery. So Kurt was now just waiting for Blaine to get home and Cooper to come over. He sat in the kitchen, flipping through the latest Vogue, Elijah was taking a nap upstairs before lunch. Ever since his birthday party he was feeling so much better about himself, he knew Blaine appreciated him and that he didn't consider his job as a meaningless one, and that had meant the world to him.
Just as he was thinking about whether to get Elijah up from his nap, his phone went, knowing it would be Blaine, bored between classes.
Blaine: Hey Baby, how's my four favourite people doing? xo
Kurt: Hey gorgeous, we're all good, Elijah is asleep, I'm chilling with a magazine and the twins have decided to make my womb into a circus or a theme park, I'm not entirely sure which xo
Blaine: Aww, they're excited for us to find out what they are today! Just like their Daddy and Papa. I'll be home in about an hour, and Cooper should be round in about an hour and half, leaving us plenty of time to get to the surgery. I love you xo
Kurt: I love you too, see you soon xo
Kurt pocketed his phone again, deciding it was time to go and wake Elijah, as he knew he would be cranky for a bit, and that was not something he wanted Cooper to have to deal with when he was doing them a favour.
Heading upstairs, he went into Elijah's nursery and froze, the crib was empty, panc starting to rise in his chest, he started to check all the possible hiding places in Elijah's room, under the crib, in the cupboard, everywhere, calling out Elijah's name, but still nothing.
Kurt was now breathing at an alarming pace, he knew he needed to calm down for the sake of his unborn children, but how could he when he couldn't find Elijah anywhere. Starting check around the whole house, he grabbed his phone from his pocket, immediately dialling Blaine's number.
"Kurt, I'm in a class, what's wr--" Kurt let out a massive sob at hearing his husbands voice. "Bl-laine, I can't find Elijah, he was napping, and I've come upstairs and he is nowhere to be found, and I don't know what to do" Kurt was speaking at such a fast pace, he was surprised that Blaine could understand him.
"Kurt, sweetheart you have to breathe, you're not going to be doing any good getting worked up, I'm leaving now, I'll be home in less than 10 minutes, please keep breathing for me sweetheart, we'll find him I promise"
As Kurt hung up the phone, he slumped against the wall he was stood near, he sank to the floor, trying his best to breathe, whilst the panic was well and truly setting in. He could feel the twins moving about, obviously responding to the fact their Daddy was upset. He felt guilt, anger, upset all at once, and he didn't know what to do with himself.
He sat there, paralysed with fear until he heard the front door slam open, bouncing off the wall behind it, "Kurt? Kurt?" He stood up, steadying himself against the wall and headed to the front hallway. "Blaine! I'm so glad you're here!" Blaine engulfed him in a hug, soothing him instantly. Holding him at arms length, he tried to get some sense out of his husband.
"Tell me exactly what happened Kurt, exactly" Kurt explained to Blaine how he had put Elijah down for a nap, not bothering with a baby monitor as he usually screamed loud enough for the whole neighbourhood to hear when he woke up. Then he came downstairs, and that was where he stayed until 10 minutes ago when he went to check him.
"Okay, I want you to go and get yourself a glass of water, and take a seat, I'm not risking you panicking yourself and doing harm to both yourself and those babies, I'm going to go and check the house over again, and then we'll go from there, okay?"
With that Blaine ran up the stairs, Kurt made his way to the kitchen, pouring himself some water, he could hear Blaine upstairs running around and shouting Elijah's name, but he didn't hear a triumphant "Found Him!" like he so desperately wanted to hear. As Blaine made his way back downstairs and started checking the downstairs, Kurt felt awful, what if something awful had happened to him? it would be all his fault, he should have used a baby monitor.
"Did you check the yard, honey?" Kurt looked up as Blaine came into the kitchen, Kurt shook his head, so Blaine ran to the back door and swung it open. Kurt heard a "Oh thank god!" before Blaine went rushing outside, getting himself up, he walked over to the back door as fast as he could without stressing himself out further.
There in the back yard was Elijah, playing quite happily with his toys, looking up at his Dad's with a smile on his face that told them he had no idea what panic he had caused. Blaine rushed up to him, scooping him up and holding him to his chest.
"Elijah! You must never ever come out here on your own! You scared both Daddy and I, something really bad could have happened to you! I'm just so glad you're safe!" Elijah burst into tears at being yelled at, he clearly didn't understand what he had done wrong. Kurt reached his husband and son, taking Elijah from Blaine's arms and repeating Blaine's words. He had honestly never felt more relieved than he felt right now.
"Can he come to the surgery with us Blaine? I really don't feel like leaving him here right now"
Blaine nodded, truth be told he was reluctant to leave his son after the panic they had just had, so he got his phone out and called Cooper. Cooper of course fully understood, and agreed to pop over later in the week with Claire instead. He then phoned the college, explaining what had happened seen as he had left a student mid-lesson and didn't explain why.
"Let's get some lunch and then head to the Doctors" Kurt wouldn't let go of Elijah, holding him to his chest. Elijah seemed to understand that his Daddy needed him to be close right now and didn't fuss at all, like he normally would, just sitting there and letting himself be held.
Once they had finished lunch and were ready, they all got into the car, heading towards the Doctors Surgery. When they entered the surgery, the waiting room was packed with people, so Kurt and Blaine took the only remaining seats, and waited their turn.
Nearly 45 minutes later a stern looking nurse came out and called Kurt and Blaine's name, she was a nurse they never usually dealt with, but having never had trouble before with the surgery, trusted that she would be okay with their situation.
"Don't look so scared boys! I know I look scary, but I promise you, I'm nice. Now, who's this little gem?" Kurt breathed a sigh of relief, the last thing he needed right now was a homophobic nurse. Elijah loved the attention he was getting, grinning up and the nurse. Blaine chipped in when he realised no one had answered her question. "This is Elijah, he's our oldest son, he's 18 months old" "Well, aren't you just the cutest little thing? Ready to be a big brother?"
Kurt knew the drill by now, he got up on the bed and lifted his shirt up. His stomach was a lot more pronounced than it had been the last time he was here, he looked about 30 weeks pregnant with one baby, when in actual fact he was only 18 weeks pregnant with the twins. The nurse got all the equipment ready, and rubbed the gel over Kurt's stomach, so used to the coldness he didn't even flinch when it hit his heated skin.
"Right, lets see what we have here boys" Both Blaine and Kurt were fixated on the screen, Elijah sucking on his fingers on Blaine's lap, not paying any attention to the screen at all, more interested in the poster that was behind the bed with a big dog on it, clearly there to keep the room from looking too sterilized.
"Here we have baby number one, they are in a good position, and look to be about right in length and weight." Blaine and Kurt watched the image on the screen, they could clearly see their son/daughter's little nose, and what looked like an arm or leg sticking upwards. They were relieved to hear they were a healthy weight, as so often twins were drastically underweight.
"...and here is baby two, slightly smaller than their twin, but nothing to be concerned about, as they are still a healthy size, now, do you want to know the sexes?" Kurt and Blaine glanced at each other, they had already decided to find out, so both nodded their heads.
"Okay, let's see, now, baby number one is a girl, and baby number two is... also a girl! Congratulations boys, you have two daughters!" Kurt started crying, he always dreamt of having a daughter to dress up and go shopping with, of course he loved Elijah, and would never trade him for anything, but he always imagined himself with a daughter further down the line, and now he got two!"
"Baba?" Blaine looked down at his son, who was sat staring at the screen. "That's right buddy! two baba's actually! You're going to have two sisters soon!" Elijah clapped his hands, which were covered in spit from having his fingers in his mouth.
The nurse gave Kurt a tissue to clean his stomach off with, giving Blaine the three printouts she had made of the girls. "Now, I want you boys to make an appointment for 7 weeks time, with twin pregnancies we have to make sure we monitor you much more closely" Kurt nodded at the instructions he was given, still in a bit of a daze at having been told he was going to have two daughters.
As they got back home later that night and Elijah had gone to bed, baby monitor firmly in place and switched on to loud, Kurt stood in what would be his baby girls' nursery, he was already planning colour schemes and furniture, now he could really picture his beautiful girls lay in their cribs at night, he honestly felt like crying.
Blaine slipped his arms around Kurt's waist, "How about we go and celebrate our daughters honey? Who knows, maybe we could have triplets!" Kurt rolled his eyes at his husbands lewd joke, but followed nonetheless, after the day they had, celebration sounded pretty damn good right now.
