The next few days went in a bit of a daze for Kurt, although he knew he wanted to keep his and Blaine's baby, it was still a scary prospect, becoming a father at 17. And then there was Blaine, his sweet and attentive boyfriend and other father to his baby, who right now was driving him absolutely insane. Kurt could no longer do anything without Blaine either doing it for him, or fussing over him.
It reached a boiling point when Kurt sneezed in Glee Club, and Blaine was by his side in an instant, checking his temperature, asking him if he needed to go to the nurse. Kurt grit his teeth and answered a very short "I'm fine" The last thing he needed was for the Glee Club to become suspicious, and Blaine being overly protective was starting to raise a few eyebrows.
Once Glee Club had let out, Kurt and Blaine were headed back to Blaine's car (Blaine insisted on driving Kurt everywhere now) Kurt decided it was time to broach the subject of Blaine's over-protectiveness. Kurt turned as he walked, looking at Blaine. "Blaine, honey, whilst I love the fact you care so much about me and our baby" He put his hand protectively to his stomach as he spoke, a habit he just couldn't stop. "You really need to calm down, nothing bad is going to happen to me, and to be honest, it's getting a bit annoying!" Blaine looked like someone had just kicked him in the stomach, and Kurt immediately felt guilt wash over him.
"Blaine, I'm sorry, you know the hormones are getting to me, I didn't mean for that to sound so harsh, but you have to know that I'm not going to break. We've got our doctors appointment tomorrow, hopefully that will put your mind at ease." Blaine smiled slightly, "I know, and I am sorry, it's just, you two are the most precious things in this world to me, and I would hate for anything to happen to you, especially if I could have prevented it in some way. But, I accept I have been going a tad overboard, so I'll try to ease off a bit"
"That's all I ask, thank you sweetheart. Now, get me to breadsticks, this baby is craving carbs right now!" Kurt swore he heard Blaine mutter something about, "Yeah the baby, of course!" But when he turned back around Blaine was looking the picture of innocence, so he let it slide, this time that is.
Blaine was pacing nervously back and forth, shaking his arms every so often to release the tension. They were currently waiting in the Doctor's waiting room, Kurt sat elegantly in one of the chairs. "Honey, you need to calm down, you're making me nervous!" Kurt watched as his boyfriend continued pacing, worried he was actually going to start wearing the carpet down. Luckily, they were the last appointment of the day, so the waiting room was deserted.
"I'm sorry Kurt, but what if something has gone wrong? What if the baby isn't going to be OK" Blaine looked like he was about to throw up, so Kurt stood up and walked over to him, engulfing him in a tight hug, he felt Blaine start to relax in his arms, eventually hugging back. "I can't promise everything will be OK, because I don't know myself, but I do promise that whatever the doctor says, good or bad, we will both be here to support each other OK?"
Blaine pulled back slightly, looking at Kurt in awe. "You're amazing you know that?" Just as he was about to lean in for a kiss, a throat was cleared behind them.
"Sorry to interrupt boys, but I'm ready for you now" Kurt had deliberately chosen a doctor that was renowned for male pregnancies, he was a young-ish doctor, tall, with dark brown hair. He stood looking at Kurt and Blaine with an amused expression on his face.
"Kurt sheepishly made his way towards the doctor, extending his hand "Sorry Doc, Kurt Hummel, nice to meet you" He shook hands with the doctor, letting go to introduce the doctor to Blaine. "Nice to meet you boys, I'm Doctor Tong, do you want to come this way?"
Kurt shared a look at Blaine, as though to say "behave" and Blaine just smirked at Kurt following him into the doctors examination room, closing the door behind the three of them. The room was plain enough, white walls, table with the disposable paper laid out on it, a few books and things lining the walls. Kurt started to feel nerves tingling through his body, but kept a cool exterior, not wanting to worry an already anxious Blaine.
"Now Kurt, from what I understand, you took a pregnancy test and it was positive?" Kurt nodded in affirmation.
"Okay, any symptoms at all?"
"Um, not loads, a couple of cravings, a little bit of nausea in the mornings, but nothing too severe" Kurt swallowed, should he be having more symptoms? Does this mean there is something wrong with the baby?
"Good, well traditionally male pregnancies don't have symptoms as severe as female pregnancies, so that's nothing to worry about" Kurt took a deep breath, hearing Blaine do the same next to him.
"Now, I will need to run a couple of tests Okay? Just to make sure everything is going smoothly." Kurt nodded again, instinctively reaching out to take a hold of Blaine's hand.
"If you could just slip your shoes off for me and hop onto the bed, that would be great" Kurt did as directed, Blaine moving to sit down at his side. The doctor took a multitude of tests, including blood work, blood pressure, temperature, you name it, Kurt seemed to be tested for it.
"Now boys, everything looks good on tests so far, I'm just going to get the blood work tested whilst I do this next bit." At this he dipped out of the room for a couple of minutes. Blaine took the opportunity to raise Kurt's hand to his lips, kissing softly over the skin there. "I love you so much, you're doing amazingly" Kurt smiled at Blaine "I love you too, thank you for being here with me"
The doctor returned with a kind looking nurse in tow. "Sabrina here is just going to do an ultrasound so we can check the size of the baby, you should also be able to hear the heartbeat"
Kurt and Blaine both already had tears at the corners of their eyes, this was only going to send them over the edge. Kurt readied himself to see his baby for the first time, pleased to feel Blaine squeeze his hand, silently letting him know that he couldn't wait either.
"Now Kurt, this is going to be a little bit cold" Kurt watched as the nurse but some gel on his stomach, recoiling slightly at the coldness. he had always thought women over-reacted at the cold sensation of the gel when he saw it on the TV, but now he could totally understand why.
The nurse picked up the doppler, smoothing the gel over the entirety of Kurt's still flat stomach before switching the machine on. She searched around for a bit before triumphantly making a "Ah-hah" sound. She pointed to a fuzzy black dot on the screen.
"There's your baby, boys" Kurt's breath caught in his throat, the tears streaming freely down his cheeks now. That was his, he'd created that, they'd created that. He turned to look at Blaine, who was starting at the screen, tears streaming down his face also. "God, Kurt, that's our baby, our own baby, I can't believe it"
"Do you want to hear the heartbeat" Both boys nodded, lost for words at the moment. As the nurse flicked a switch, they heard the most beautiful sound possible to any expectant parent, the soft 'thump, thump' of their baby's heartbeat. The nurse continue noting down measurements, making sure everything was looking okay.
The nurse printed off some pictures of their little black and white dot, handing copies to both Kurt and Blaine, both of them staring down at it, as though if they didn't the baby would disappear and this would all have been a dream.
Doctor Tong made his way back into the room as Kurt was wiping the gel off his stomach, still holding tightly to the baby picture in his hand.
"Well everything looks amazing boys, you are currently about 7 weeks pregnant. In terms of the pregnancy, male pregnancies aren't any different really that female pregnancies, with the exception of the birth" Kurt blushed slightly at the thought of where their baby was going to have to make their entrance to the world from.
"Now, here is your pregnancy pack, take some time to read it through, if you have any concerns, questions or anything at all, give me a call and I will try and answer them as best as I can" Blaine took the book from the doctor, helping Kurt to his feet again.
"One more question, Doctor, am I okay to continue my life as normal? Do I need to take any precautions?"
"You should be good to carry on as normal, the pack I gave you contains the food we recommend you don't eat, but apart from that no, there is nothing to stop you living your life as you normally would, you might experience some tiredness at times, so just make sure you follow what your body tells you." Kurt threw a slightly triumphant look in Blaine's direction, Blaine looking a lot more relieved at this piece of information. They turned to leave.
"Oh, and boys?" both boys turned around looking back at the doctor. "Sex is totally safe too" At this the doctor winked at the two of them. Both boys blushing to their roots.
Blaine took Kurt's hand as they arrived back at the car, pulling him close. "I'm so proud of you Kurt, our baby will be amazing, and it is all because of you, so thank you" Kurt kissed Blaine's cheek gently. "Thank you for being here today for me Blaine" They climbed in the car, hands automatically linking over the console, Kurt resting his hand protectively over his bump.
"Uh, Blaine?" "Mm?" "You do realise we're now going to have to tell my Dad and Carole right?" Blaine swallowed thickly, his face losing all of it's colour. " I know, babe, I know, but we're in this together right?"
"Together" Kurt whispered back, hand stroking gently over his stomach.
