Blaine walked into their kitchen, every surface was covered in food, of every variety imaginable. Cakes, pastries, chips, dip, you name it, Kurt had it. On the dining room table there were heaps of decorations, some adorning big number 1's in honor of his sons birthday.

"Blaine! This party is very important to me! It will be a chance for us to celebrate our son's birth, and you know how much I love hosting parties!"

Blaine could tell from the look on Kurt's face that he was never going to win this argument, this party was going ahead whether Blaine liked it or not.

"Okay honey, what do you need me to do?" Kurt smiled at Blaine, glad that he had chosen to back down this time. "My dad has just finished with the gazebo, can you take all those decorations and start decorating the gazebo for me?'

Blaine gave Kurt a mock salute making his way outside with some if the decorations. Kurt chuckled fondly at his husbands antics, glad he wasn't putting up too much of a fight about Kurt's party planning. Blaine entered the gazebo to see Burt putting the finishing touches to the flooring. Burt looking up as Blaine entered.

"He throw you out, buddy?" At Blaine's nod Burt chuckled "just like his mother, she always went all out for Kurt's birthdays, making sure he had the party he absolutely wanted" Blaine felt a little bit guilty, knowing the reasoning behind Kurt being so set on a big party for Elijah.

"I know, anyway, are you okay to help me decorate this place up? I think Kurt wants a 'nautical theme' going judging by these decorations" He handed some of the decorations to Burt as he started blowing up one of the many balloons. Blaine and Burt worked side by side chatting animatedly about everything and nothing. Blaine loved his father in law, he had never been anything but supportive of them, plus he was an amazing grandpa to Elijah.

Kurt came out a little while later, admiring Burt and Blaine's handiwork. He kissed Blaine on the cheek, smiling at his Dad. "It looks great guys, thank you!"

"You're welcome, we better go and get washed up and changed, Carole will be back in a few minutes with the birthday boy and then the guests are gonna be here"

They all headed back inside and upstairs to change. Kurt had picked out outfits for both him and Blaine. Once they were in their 'party clothes' they heard the front door open and the sound of their son shrieking with excitement in Carole's arms.

Blaine ran down the stairs, meeting Carole and Elijah at the bottom, he kissed Carole on the cheek thanking her for distracting Elijah for the afternoon. "Anytime honey, you know I love spending time with my favourite grandson!"

Blaine took Elijah from Carole running upstairs to change him into the outfit Kurt had picked out for him, a gorgeous little pair of jeans, shirt and vest over the top, with of course his Papa's signature bow tie. Blaine kissed Elijah's cheek and was rewarded with two chubby hands grabbing his face and a wet kiss planted on his face, right by the side of his mouth.

Blaine laughed loudly at his son's antics picking him up and pretending he was an aeroplane flying down the stairs to his party, Elijah giggling in his Papas arms.

The guests slowly started to arrive, a mixture of friends and family, including some of the New Directions and Warblers who lived in New York. Alana was also there with Maddie, they had become close to her over the last 6 months and wouldn't have her miss Elijah's birthday. Elijah was loving every bit of attention he was getting, a natural performer like his Daddies.

There were about 20 people in the gazebo alone, Blaine and Kurt making their way around everybody, thanking them for coming and for all the very generous gifts given to Elijah for his birthday.

Blaine watched as his son was playing with some of the other children, remembering his entrance into the world a year ago. He honestly thought he couldn't love Kurt more than he had loved him that day, but he was proven wrong, watching his husband every day with his son, being an amazing father, he loved Kurt more every day.

Blaine was snapped out of his thoughts by Kurt announcing it was time for presents. Blaine made his way over to the present table, Elijah was in Kurt's arms, looking more interested in the balloon tied to the table than the presents themselves. Blaine started making his way through the gifts, letting Elijah open the paper and showing him what he had been given. There were many beautiful outfits, various mementoes and some gorgeous photo frames with photos of Elijah and his Dads throughout the year.

Once all the presents were opened and Elijah had lost interest, crawling back to his friends to rejoin the games they were currently playing, Blaine turned the stereo on that Finn had managed to hook up in the garden.

All the guests started to dance, messing around with each other and having a thoroughly good time. He noticed both the Warblers and New Directions having dance offs throughout the evening, loving the fact they all got on so well.

Kurt, Blaine and Elijah cut the cake that Kurt had lovingly made, a blue '1' with musical notes and trucks all over it, picking up on Elijah's two favourite things, dancing around with his Papa to music and playing with his toy trucks.

"I'm so proud of you for this party honey" Blaine had slipped being Kurt currently standing on the balls of his feet whispering into his ear, hands wrapped firmly around Kurt's waist.

"Elijah has had a great time, and everyone else is enjoying themselves, and its all because of you. We wouldn't even be here if you hadn't put all that hard work in a year ago."

Kurt turned in Blaine's arms, kissing him soundly on the lips, Kurt pulled away aware of their surroundings, whispering promises of later in Blaine's ear.

A couple of hours later everyone started to take their leave, Kurt and Blaine thanking everyone again, struggling with a cranky Elijah, who by now was overwhelmed by the whole day and really needed to go to bed.

Once his Dad and Carole had retreated to one of their guest rooms, they were staying an extra couple of days before heading back to Ohio, Kurt and Blaine took a now sleeping Elijah up to his nursery, getting him ready for bed, being careful not to wake him. He was much better at sleeping through the night, but they weren't stupid enough to test that theory, not after the sugar filled day Elijah had today.

As Blaine and Kurt stood over their son's crib Kurt said something that Blaine was worried he would never hear him say, especially with Elijah being such a fussy baby at times.

"I really want another baby"
