At 4am Kurt gave up trying to sleep and slipped into his gown and slippers making his way silently through the hospital corridors, the ward he was now on was full with new mothers and fathers, he looked into a couple of the rooms and saw the sleeping forms of said mothers and fathers, some, like him, unable to sleep and either sat up in bed or sitting in their chairs trying just to get through the night.

Kurt made his way to the nursery, he knew it wouldn't be open yet, but the window into the nursery was open, so he was able to peek through there into all the sleeping babies. He noticed his girls within a second, the only babies sharing a slightly larger crib. Ava had her arm resting on Imogen's chest, he put his hand over his heart at the sight, they were already looking out for each other and they were barely 12 hours old.

"Which one is yours?"

Kurt nearly jumped a foot in the air at the sound of the voice, he turned sharply, wincing slightly as his still sensitive body twisted uncomfortably. There was a youngish girl stood to his left hand side, she couldn't have been more than about 17, with long blonde hair tied up into a ponytail, she looked about as exhausted as Kurt felt, but under it all he could tell she was happy.

"Oh my gosh, you scared me there! Mine are the two little girls in the right hand corner"

"Sorry to have scared you! Mine is this little cutie at the front here, his name is Elliot"

"He's gorgeous, you must be so proud, we have Ava and Imogen"

"Beautiful, I'm Alice by the way" Kurt smiled at the young girl and reached his hand out to meet hers, her hands were so tiny he could practically have fitted two of hers in one of his.

"Kurt"

"Nice to meet you Kurt, are they your first?"

"No, I actually already have a nearly two year old son, Elijah"

"Wow! You're going to have your hands full" Kurt smiled softly at Alice, she really did look young when she smiled.

"Yeah, but I have an amazing support system, my husband Blaine will be amazing, he always is, I'm very lucky"

"You really are, the father of Elliot is about as much use as a chocolate fire poker, he says he will be in his life, but where was he when he was born?"

Kurt felt a bit awkward, he didn't know the guy, and he really wasn't in the mood to start slating someone he had never met. So instead he just let her vent about him, making agreeing sounds in all the right places, never taking his eyes off his beautiful girls sleeping softly together. After about an hour he realised he needed to get back and get ready for Blaine, Grammy and Elijah coming to visit, he knew it would take him longer to get ready considering how sore he was.

"It was lovely meeting you Alice, I hope everything goes well with Elliot"

"You too, Kurt, look after that family of yours"

Kurt made his way back to the ward, the sun now starting to peek through the windows in the ward. Making his way into the bathroom once he got back to his room, he took what he would always believe was the best shower of his life, washing away all the grime of the last 24 hours. Once he was squeaky clean he slipped into some loose clothing, looking forward to the day he could finally wear his normal clothing again.

Around 7am, Imogen and Ava were brought back into his room to be fed. He loved nothing more than having his babies back, he knew it would be a long time before he would be comfortable being apart from them again. He fed them and changed them into their outfits for the day, some he had taken a while picking out, they had to look perfect after all.

He had just dozed back off, a baby in each arm when the door to his room slammed open, stirring both the babies and making Kurt blink his eyes open groggily. Before he knew what was happening a small force hit the bottom of the bed.

"Daddy!!" He saw the small curls of his son peeking over the end of the bed, looking towards the door there stood a sheepish looking Blaine and Grammy. Blaine made his way over to the bed.

"Sorry honey, he sort of got away from me the second he realised we were at your room, now how are my beautiful girls doing?"

Blaine kissed Kurt soundly on the lips, taking the twins from him as Elijah made his way up the bed. Grammy was now stood at the side of the bed looking down at the girls in Blaine's arms.

"Hi buddy, how are you doing? Did you want to meet your sisters?" Blaine and Kurt swapped, Grammy came and sat next to Kurt as Blaine very carefully showed Elijah his sisters. He was very excited, but the excitement soon faded when he realised they didn't really do much but sleep.

"How are you doing Kurt? Sore?"

"I'm good, Grammy, thank you so much for taking care of Elijah for us, I'm still a bit sore, but not too bad, I'll be right as rain before you know it"

"That's my boy! Now, I'm going to go and wrestle one of those beauties from your husband, as I need some Grammy cuddles!"

Kurt laughed at his Grammy, watching as she went over and took Ava from Blaine. She stood up walking Ava round the room, whispering something Kurt couldn't hear to her. He looked over and watched as Blaine held Imogen in his arms, Elijah perched on his knee, admiring his sleeping sister.
