The next morning, Kurt woke up with a massive crick in his neck, he winced as he lifted his head, taking in his surroundings as he looked around. So it hadn't been just a bad dream, he really had fallen asleep at Sophia's bedside, squished in the horrible hospital chair, his hand linked loosely with Blaine's on one side, and Sophia's little hand on the bed. He looked at his daughter, she still looked as small and pale as ever, and he felt like crying all over again.
Blaine was in a similar position to him, chair pulled up to the side of Kurt, he looked just as uncomfortable as Kurt had been, neck at a funny angle and head lolling onto his chest.
"Blaine, honey, you need to wake up" He whispered to make sure he didn't wake his daughter, she needed all the sleep she could get after the drama of yesterday. Blaine stirred, wincing just like Kurt had as his neck clicked satisfyingly. He blinked his eyes open, looking over at Kurt, smiling softly. The smile faded however when he fully took in the situation around him, sitting up in his seat and looking concernedly at his daughter.
"God that was a nightmare nights' sleep, do you sleep at all? How is she this morning?"
Kurt smiled at his fiance, he really was cute when he had just woken up, and despite the situation he couldn't help but feel a warmth fill his chest at the sight.
"I slept on and off, the nurse hasn't come in yet this morning to check her, but when she checked her about 4am she said she seemed fine and was likely to be released this morning, so we can only hope."
Blaine nodded at Kurt's words, clearly fully awake now, he stroked Sophia's hand, watching his daughters chest rise and fall as she breathed. Kurt's heart was pretty broken seeing his daughter like this, but the next words out of Blaine's mouth made it pretty much shatter.
"I was so scared, Kurt, I know I looked like I was holding it together, but you and her, you are my whole life, and if I lost either one of you, well, my life wouldn't be complete, and I just couldn't survive, I really couldn't"
Kurt watched as Blaine's face crumpled and he started to cry, softly enough to not wake Sophia, but loud enough that it was clear what was happening. Kurt didn't even think, he just stood up, climbing into Blaine's lap, wrapping his hands securely around Blaine's shoulders and neck, letting him sob into his chest. He had been so caught up in how he was and how Sophia was, he had forgotten that this was just as likely to affect Blaine as it was him.
"Shh, you're okay Blaine, we're both still here, and we're not going anywhere, we're still the little family we were 24 hours ago, yeah?"
He felt Blaine nod into his chest, sniffling and wiping his tears from his face, he looked up at Kurt, and Kurt couldn't help but lean forward and kiss him. Just as he met Blaine's lips there was throat cleared by the doorway, making both boys jump and whip their heads around.
"Ahem, sorry to, uh, interrupt, boys, but I'm Doctor Allen, and I'm the rounds Doctor today, I just wanted to check on Sophia, and possibly sign her off to be discharged back into your care."
The Doctor was an older looking man, greying hair and glasses, he was bright red from catching the boys in the innocent, but still rather compromising position he had found them in. Blaine was the first to recover, picking Kurt up and putting him down in his own seat, before standing up.
"Oh, I'm sorry, yes of course, come in, she hasn't woken up yet"
The Doctor busied himself with a variety of tests on Sophia, waking her up in the process, she looked confused at first, but having both her Daddies there seemed to calm her.
"Well it looks like she is a very lucky little girl, her cut is starting to heal already, you need to make sure her bandage is changed daily for the next few days, watch out for any further swelling or any fevers, but apart from that she will be absolutely fine, babies are a lot tougher than you think"
Kurt and Blaine let out simultaneous sighs of relief, that would be funny if it were in any different a situation.
"Thank you, Doctor, that's amazing, can you take her home this morning?"
"You can, I'll just get one of you to come and sign the discharge papers, and then you are welcome to leave when you are ready, just make sure to check in with one of the nurses when you leave."
"Great, thank you for all your help whilst she has been in here"
"You're welcome, hopefully I won't see you soon, boys!"
They both laughed as the Doctor ducked out of the room and headed onto his next patient.
Taking Sophia home later that morning, was the biggest weight off both the boys' shoulders, even though she looked like she had been in the wars, she was back under their care, and that was the best thing ever.
"Well, what does it say?"
This all felt very familiar, sitting down waiting for the result of a little white stick, except this time, Kurt and Blaine were both waiting for the result. After their night a couple of weeks ago, they knew there was a good chance it would be positive, and another minute and they would find out if they were going to be fathers again. Taking a deep breath, Kurt flipped the test over, and looked at the result window. All the air rushed out of him as he saw the result.
"Negative"
He couldn't pinpoint his emotions in that moment, it was a real mixture, he was sad that they weren't having a baby, but at the same time relieved, after everything with Sophia, he knew they needed to concentrate on the one baby they already had before thinking of expanding their family.
He smiled weakly at Blaine, who seemed to be having a similar mixture of emotions right now. He held tightly onto Blaine's hand, squeezing softly.
"When the time is right, honey, we will have another one, for now, why don't we just get some practice in? and use a condom!!"
Blaine laughed at his fiance, glad that he was at least okay with not having another baby so soon, but Kurt was right, the practice would be a lot more fun, and what better time to start than right now?
