Later that morning Kurt changed Elijah into the stunning outfit he had picked out for him. It included a all in one baby romper with a bow tie on the collar. He peppered Elijah's tummy with kisses loving his soft skin. He still couldn't believe him and Blaine had created something as gorgeous and perfect as Elijah.
Some days he would sit and count Elijah's little fingers and toes, making sure he had them all, and not being able to find one flaw in his amazing son.
He put Elijah in his outfit, lifting him off the changing table and into his arms. He was so light you could hardly notice you were holding him. Elijah immediately snuggled into Kurt's chest, clearly comfortable in his Daddy's arms.
He walked Elijah downstairs and into the living room where Blaine was currently playing on his phone, he put his phone away and looked up towards Kurt and Elijah.
"How are my two favourite men?" He smiled at Kurt, standing up to kiss Kurt and Elijah on the cheek. "Honey, we better get going, what time did you say we were meeting everyone?"
"Midday, we've got about an hours drive" Blaine went to grab his keys and wallet, gathering up Elijah's car seat and diaper bag at the same time. Kurt carefully placed Elijah into his car seat, trying his hardest not to disturb him too much.
Kurt headed out to the car, strapping Elijah into the back of their car. Blaine locked up the house, climbing into the drivers seat. Kurt looked nervous when he got in the passenger seat. Biting on his lip and pulling self consciously on his polo shirt.
Blaine reached over the console and took Kurt's hand.
"Kurt, baby, please look at me"
Kurt reluctantly raised his head to look into his husbands eyes. Even after all this time it still made his heart stop, Blaine had the most gorgeous eyes he had ever seen in his life, and he could never get enough of them.
"I know you're self conscious about your body, but to me you still look absolutely stunning. You carried our son and kept him safe for 9 months, and to me, nothing is more beautiful than that"
Kurt had tears in his eyes at the end of Blaine's little speech. Damn post baby hormones! He leaned over the console and kissed Blaine softly on the lips. "Thank you baby, I love you"
"I love you too, now let's get going and start introducing out little man to the outside world"
Blaine started the car, pulling swiftly out of the drive and onto the road. Blaine and Kurt talked quietly all the way to the restaurant they were meeting Blaine's colleagues at, holding hands the entire way.
An hour later they pulled into the restaurant, it was small italian restaurant, very cosy and intimate, they didn't want somewhere with a huge amount of noise due to Elijah. It was already going to be a big day for Elijah meeting so many different people, he didn't need a busy restaurant to contend with.
Blaine picked Elijah's car seat from the back of the car and grabbed Kurt's hand leading them all into the restaurant. The restaurant was old fashioned with red walls, booths along the back of the restaurant and a smattering of other tables around the room. It had a beautiful aroma, which made both mens' stomachs gurgle appreciatively.
Blaine looked around the restaurant and noticed a table at the back of the restaurant slightly tucked out of sight. He moved carefully through the tables making sure not to disturb Elijah in his car seat. He had fallen asleep at some point during the car ride over, and Blaine wanted to let him sleep as much as possible seen as this afternoon was going to be exhausting for his two week old son.
He kept a firm grip on Kurt's hand as they reached the table, smiling at the occupants. There was a chorus of "Blaine's!" and "Hey!" Blaine smiled and returned their greetings, unable to give his usual hugs and handshakes with his hands full with his son and his husband. There were 4 adults around the table, two women and two men.
The women were both older women, with greying hair. Lynn has short spikey hair and kind eyes, she was a medium built woman, who dressed very 'out there' Helen, on the other hand was perfectly styled, a slim woman, with shoulder length hair.
The men were both younger, nearer Kurt and Blaine's ages. Tim was a tall lanky man with dark hair and glasses, he was an average looking guy, but was the bubbliest of the group. Cody was the youngster of the group, with sandy blonde hair and a very 'surfer' look about him, he was a shy guy who often hid behind his fringe.
Both women jumped up and immediately started cooing over Elijah. Giving Blaine and Kurt hugs as they went. Kurt and Blaine were beaming at them all, so proud of their son. Elijah had started to stir and was looking at everyone with wide eyes, not quite believing there were so many new faces for him to look at.
"Oh, Blaine, he is gorgeous, the perfect mixture of the two of you, congratulations boys!" Lynn squealed at the two of them. Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt at the praise, Kurt shying away into Blaine's shoulder, smiling brightly.
"Sit down! Sit down! fill us all in on him, he is just so precious!" Kurt lifted Elijah out of his car seat, cradling him, whilst Blaine filled his friends in on his new arrival. Kurt watched as Blaine talked so animatedly about him and Elijah. He kept a hold of Kurt's hand under the table, squeezing when he got particularly animated about something. Kurt had thought he loved his husband prior to having Elijah, but seeing him with Elijah, and the light in his eyes when talking about them both, made Kurt love him just that bit more.
The rest of their lunch went by in a similar manner, everyone cooing over Elijah and Kurt and Blaine smiling the entire time, so much so their cheeks were starting to hurt. Yes, it was exhausting having a baby, but every single minute of lost sleep was worth it for that tiny baby currently lay in his arms.
Eventually lunch was over and Kurt and Blaine were saying their goodbyes. Elijah had fallen asleep shortly before dessert, and was currently curled up in his car seat, ready for the journey home. With lots of hugs and kisses, everyone wished Kurt and Blaine well, and promised to meet up again soon.
On the car ride back to their house Kurt fell asleep against the window, exhausted after his first proper trip out since Elijah's birth. Blaine watched his husband sleep out of the corner of his eye, wondering how he had managed to get so lucky.
He eventually pulled back into their drive, switching the engine off and quietly climbing out the car, he fetched Elijah from the back, settling him down in his crib in his nursery after carefully changing him into his pajamas. Blaine then went back outside to find Kurt still sound asleep against, with his head now resting on his own shoulder. Blaine decided to just put him straight into bed, he was obviously exhausted. He slowly carried Kurt bridal style into the house, closing the door with his butt behind him. He stripped Kurt down and changed him into his pajamas, admiring his husbands perfect body, even with all the signs of Elijah on Kurt's body he was still gorgeous, it was just a shame Kurt couldn't see it too.
Blaine made his way to his study once he was sure Kurt was settled to start on the massive stack of emails he had received during his time off. He loved his little family and sighed with the thought that eventually he would need to leave them and return to work, for now though, he was going to enjoy every single minute of time with his husband and son.
