Chapter 17  

Blaine was awoken early on Saturday morning, by a loud knock on the door. He shuffled his way to the door, yawning into his hand as he went. When he opened the door it was to Sam standing in front of him looking very awake and expectant.

"Hey dude, are you still sleeping?"

"I was until you started your assault on my door," Blaine said, leaving the door open and shuffling back so that Sam could come inside. "What are you doing here so early?"

"Meeting Kurt, of course," Sam said, as though it was obvious.

"Sam, you do know that Kurt lives next door, right?" Things werent making sense to his sleep clogged brain, but Sam just laughed.

"Im here to help him with the nursery. He was meant to be here already, but I guess hes still getting ready."

"Oh!" Kurt had asked for the weekend to get the nursery together and hed almost forgotten. "Yeah, sure."

"Anyway, youre going to have to make yourself scarce, this is meant to be a surprise," Sam gave Blaine a hard look, and Blaine thought it over.

"What about if I go back to bed, like normal humans at the crack of dawn? Ill give Tina a call later and see if she wants to go out."

"That works," Sam said with a grin.

"Okay," Blaine was already heading back to his bed, but called over his shoulder, "Let me know when Kurt gets here."

Blaine fell back to sleep in no time, but it felt like only seconds later when he was woken again by a pair of soft lips on his, kissing him chastely. Blaine immediately responded to the kiss, and he heard Kurt chuckle above him.

"Good morning," Kurt said, and deepened the kiss slightly as Blaine reached a hand into his hair to draw him closer. When Kurt drew back, he said, "I could get used to this. I really do like you all sleep rumpled."

Blaine let out a soft sigh and pulled Kurt down until he was lying next to him on the bed.

"Hi," Blaine said at last, his voice rough from sleep.

Kurt giggled. "Hi."

"Sams in the living room," Blaine said, the memory suddenly coming back to him.

"Yeah, I know. We were taking some measurements, but I wanted to let you know that were leaving. Were going to go pick up some paint and other things I ordered. Well be back in a couple of hours."

"Okay," Blaine said, snuggling closer to Kurt despite his words. "Im going to call Tina and find out if she wants to do something today.

They lay there for a few more minutes, Kurt rubbing a hand up and down Blaines side, until Sam called out, "Kurt! You ready yet?"

"Coming!" Kurt called back, and Blaine groaned as Kurt extricated himself from Blaines hold.

"See you later?" he asked as he moved towards the door.

Blaine blew him a kiss as he disappeared from view, and reached for his cell phone on the side table. He had plans to make.

The next two days passed in a flurry of movement. Blaine was promptly ushered out the door whenever possible, and otherwise the door remained firmly shut.

Blaine really appreciated the lengths that Kurt and Sam were going to help and surprise him, and so made no comment on their precautions.

When Blaine got home on Sunday night, it was to Kurt and Sam sitting in his living room and they both smiled broadly when they saw him.

"Well, thats my cue to go," Sam said, and Blaine gave him a confused expression.

"Dont you want to see his reaction?" Kurt asked, mirroring Blaines look, but Sam just shook his head.

"No, you show him," he said, and then turned to Blaine. "Call me tomorrow and let me know what you think, okay?"

"Sam," Blaine called, and Sam turned around to face him, one hand already on the doorknob. "Thank you."

Sam gave him a bright smile. "No problem, man."

When the door shut behind him, Blaine turned to Kurt with an expectant expression. "Can I see it?"

Kurt gave him a huge smile and led the way towards the nursery. "Okay, so we used the crib that youd already bought as a focal point for the rest of the room, but I think youre going to like what we did with it."

He pushed open the door and suddenly Blaine was hit with the full effect of a beautifully decorated nursery.

The walls were painted a light green and a wooden mural that read Oliver hung on one wall in the same medium wood as the crib standing on the opposite wall. There was a complementing rug and a soft looking chair in the corner, but Blaines eyes were immediately drawn to the incredibly beautiful and intricate mobile hanging over the crib that was made up of circling little birds and music notes representing the birds song. 

Blaine walked forward into the room and looked around in wonder. It was perfect.

"Kurt, its absolutely beautiful. You did an amazing job." To his surprise, he could feel his eyes welling up just thinking of what this wonderful man had done for him and his child.

But then Kurt was talking, "I just wanted to make it perfect for you. I know how much youve been through, and Blaine, I just want to give you everything you deserve. Youre so strong and kind, and I wanted to do something to show you how much you mean to me."

Suddenly, Blaine couldnt control himself any longer. He rushed towards Kurt and locked their lips together in a fierce kiss. Kurt responded just as eagerly, slotting their bodies together as their tongues slid against one another, fighting for dominance.

Blaine could not control the sounds coming from his mouth, and he knew that he couldnt wait any longer to have Kurt, to lay himself out and allow Kurt to show him exactly how much he felt for him.

"Bedroom."
