Kurt was laying on their bed with Elijah on his chest, Elijah was dozing softly, occasionally clutching his Daddy's chest with his hands in his sleep. Kurt was terrified, he'd never looked after Elijah without Blaine there to help him, what if something went wrong? The practical side of his brain knew that he could handle Elijah on his own and that Blaine was only around the corner if he really needed him. But right now the irrational side of his brain was taking over.

Blaine finished his tie and turned to look at his husband and son curled up on the bed. They really were gorgeous. He walked towards the bed and kissed Elijah softly on the cheek, stroking his finger slowly down his perfect face. He then turned his head to Kurt and kissed him on the forehead and on the lips.

"You'll be amazing today Kurt, and I'll be home before you know it, I love you so much" he gave Kurt one final kiss on the tip of his nose and turned to walk out of the room. Kurt whispered and "I love you" back stroking his sons back adoringly.

As Kurt heard the front door close and the car start he sighed, he really was terrified but there was absolutely nothing he could do but get on with it. Elijah wasn't the best sleeper so therefore the fact he was now asleep was a miracle in itself. So much so, Kurt decided to stay put and let him sleep. The house and all his chores could wait half an hour...

Kurt startled awake at the sound of his phone ringing, in doing so he had woken a dozing Elijah who now began to fuss and make an attempt to cry. Kurt cursed whoever was ringing him, but leaned over and answered his phone.

"Kurt? Baby? Is everything OK? I text you 5 times and didn't hear anything back? Is Elijah OK? Do you need me to come home? I knew it was too soon to come bac--" Kurt cut Blaine off before he could give himself a heart attack. "--Blaine, honey, we're both fine, we both fell back to sleep so I didn't hear your texts come through, I'm sorry for scaring you"

"Thank god! I was so worried! How is my little man doing?" As if on cue Elijah decided now was the time to scream his lungs out in protest of being woken up. Kurt tried his hardest to sooth Elijah whilst still holding the phone, but it was useless. "Blaine, I'm gonna have to call you back, I need to sort Elijah out and get us both up and ready." "OK sweetheart call me when you can"

Kurt lifted Elijah up, dropping his phone back to the bedside table. He tried soothing him by walking him up and down the bedroom and landing, but he still continue to scream. So next he tried a change of diaper, a bottle, even a change of clothes but nothing would sooth him. By now Kurt was exhausted again and his ears were starting to hurt from all the screaming, he genuinely was at a loss as to what would sooth his son.

As a last resort he started singing to him his favourite lullaby, Elijah didn't immediately stop screaming but his screams dulled a little at the sound of his Daddy's voice, until eventually all he was emitting was small hiccups and soft sobs, which was at least easier on the ears than all the screaming. He was able to finally place Elijah in his crib and start the mobile above it to send Elijah off to sleep.

As he exited the nursery he slid down the wall just outside with his knees tucked into his chest and he sobbed he literally sobbed until he couldn't cry anymore. This was going to be a lot harder than he ever thought it was going to be, it was only 11am and he was already exhausted, the house was a mess and he wasn't even dressed for the day.

He sat there still curled up for another few minutes before snapping himself out of his funk and standing up. He decided what he needed was a nice hot shower. Dipping his head into the nursery he checked that Elijah was still out, before making his way into their ensuite to shower.

Once showered he decided to call Blaine back, he lay on the bed in only a towel and phoned Blaine's mobile, Blaine answered on the second ring.

"Hey sweetheart, tough morning?" Kurt scoffed slightly before answering "you have no idea, our delightful son has FINALLY decided to go to sleep after letting everyone within a 50 mile radius know he didn't want to"

Blaine's heart broke at the dejected tone of Kurt's voice, he always knew it would be hard leaving both of them, but this was another level, knowing his husband was so down and not being able to wrap him up in a hug and tell him it would all be OK was killing him.

"I'm sorry Kurt, I wish I could be there to help you out, the first day was always going to be difficult, hopefully things will only get better from here?"

"I guess so, anyway, how is your first morning back? Good to be back?"

"It is, I miss both of you like crazy though! I can't wait to be back tonight so we can all snuggle and watch TV together."

"I can't wait either, I better go sweetheart I'm currently lay on our bed in a towel, I really need to get dressed"

"Now that's a nice image to go back to work with!"

Kurt chuckled at his husbands response, he could be such a boy sometimes.

"Down boy! I'll see you tonight, I love you!"

"I love you too, give Elijah a big kiss from his Papa for me!"

As Blaine hung up the phone he rubbed a hand across his face, he missed them both so much, even though he was excited to be back at work it still hurt his heart to be away from them. He read over his schedule for the rest of the day, smiling when he saw he wasn't as back to back as he normally was, a plan starting to formulate in his head.

Kurt slowly got dressed, trying to ignore the fact his tummy was still a lot bigger and saggier than it had been prior to getting pregnant. Once he was dressed and feeling human again, he started on his long list of chores, trying his hardest to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake his sleeping son.

Blaine was just finishing up with his last student before lunch, a young girl who was incredibly talented on the piano but didn't have an awful lot of confidence. Blaine was working hard to get her ready for the colleges' Autumn showcase, where she would have to perform in front of an audience in excess of 500.

"Great, Chrissy, you're progressing nicely, just be careful not to be too harsh on the keys, I really do think you'll be amazing at the showcase in a couple of months."

Chrissy smiled at Blaine getting up from the piano bench and gathering her stuff "Thanks Mr AH! See you next week"

As soon as Chrissy had left Blaine grabbed his jacket, keys and phone and ran to his car, he drove to a deli just round the corner which did the most gorgeous chicken salad that both Kurt and Blaine loved, he picked two up paying at the cashier and running back to his car. He drove as fast as the speed limit would allow back home, too excited to see his husband and son.

Kurt was just putting the last load of washing into the dryer when he heard the distinct sound of Blaine's car pulling into the driveway. Confused, he made his way to their front door just as Blaine was coming in.

"Blaine? What are you doing home?" He ran and kissed Blaine chastely on the lips grinning the whole time.

"You sounded like you were having rough morning with the little guy so thought I would bring your favourite lunch and spend some time with you during a gap in my lessons."

Kurt was blown at his husbands gesture, this was exactly what he needed. He kissed Blaine again muttering a few thank yous into his lips taking the salad containers from Blaine's hands and grabbing Blaine's hand leading them both to the kitchen.

Kurt set them up to eat at the kitchen table, Blaine telling him all about his day, and Kurt chopping in with tales of his own day. They finished off their salads quickly, Kurt placing the dishes in the dishwasher before leading Blaine to the sofa to snuggle before he had to go back to work.

Just as they had got settled the Elijah chose his moment to start fussing. Kurt sighed heavily.

"That child of ours has impeccable timing" Blaine chuckled at Kurt and got up from the sofa.

"I'll go and try with him, you stay here"

"Good luck! He had turned into the devil child today!"

Kurt could hear Blaine enter Elijah's nursery and Elijah immediately stopped crying

'Bloody typical, Papa's boy!" Kurt grumbled but there was no mallice behind his words.

Blaine came down the stairs a content Elijah curled up on his chest. 'There's my baby boy! No more tears hey? Be good for Daddy this afternoon"

Blaine handed Elijah over to Kurt and reluctantly started getting his things together to head back to work.

He kissed Kurt and kissed the top of Elijah's head who was now cradled in Kurt's arms.

"I love you, see you later"

"I love you too"

As Blaine closed the door Kurt looked down at his son. "Such a Papa's boy" he whispered to him, content with just watching his son. Maybe this isn't so difficult after all he thought to himself.
