Blaine and Kurt sat in the senior commons at Dalton academy with smiles on their faces. Both boys had been receiving comments from their Dalton friends asking snidely if they had been getting laid more than usual because no one ever looked that happy for no reason.

But Blaine and Kurt had a secret that they weren’t ready to share with the world yet but it was their little miracle.

“I can’t believe you’re ten weeks pregnant.”

Blaine smiled with that goofy grin as he cradled the hot chocolate between his hands having now officially banned Kurt from coffee the curly haired boy was taking pity on his boyfriend and joining him on the coffee fasting.

But the smile was soon wiped off Blaine's face.

“Shhh, Blaine, you can’t say things like that out loud.”

Kurt hissed as his eyes darted around the room to see if anyone was in hearing distance.

Blaine often got a little worried about Kurt. He was so; well, uptight about anyone finding out. He understood his boyfriend’s worries after the bulling he had gone through for years of people judging him. But it wasn’t as if this was something they could keep a secret forever. In less than seven months they would have a baby, and even before that; in a month or two Kurt would be quite obviously pregnant.

Blaine reached out his hand to grasp Kurt's but the blue eyed boy pulled his away swiftly.

“Look, Kurt, I know you’re scared and I know you aren’t ready to tell everyone but we really have to start thinking about this. But I thought we were getting there, things have been good since we talked but seriously Kurt it will be a lot less stressful if you weren’t constantly having to worry about who is overhearing our conversations-“

But Kurt interrupted him with this death stare.

“Blaine, we have talked about this over and over again but let me repeat myself one more time. I am not ready for this and you cannot force me-“

“I'm not trying to force-“

But Kurt gave Blaine no chance to explain himself.

“This is my problem and I will not be bullied into this so just leave me alone”

Kurt stormed out then, leaving Blaine alone at the table.

Blaine sighed and dropped his head into his hands. He knew he should go after his boyfriend but right now he had no idea what to say to calm Kurt down. His mood had been all over the place lately and none of Blaine's usual distraction techniques were working, though this had been the first time in days Kurt had had any kind of outburst.

Blaine raised his head when he head Kurt's vacated seat moving.

“Oh, hi Wes.”

Blaine greeted, his voice laced with disappointed as he had hoped that Kurt would return, but no such luck.
“Don’t sound too enthusiastic.”

Wes laughed, clearly trying to lighten the mood but Blaine just scowled.

“Okay, okay, I saw Kurt storming out looking like he was about to cry, so tell me what happened Blaine, you look like you’re about to throw a punch.”

Wes said with a concerned tone, realising Blaine wasn’t in the mood for his usual jokes.

Blaine sighed.

“That’s the problem, Wes, I can’t talk about it. Kurt just wants to bottle it up and I swear he just wants to forget this is all happening and I thought after we talked last week that we had figured it all out but he still shoots me down every time I try and talk about it when we aren’t behind locked doors. But I swear Wes I tried to help and I thought he was okay with this but it’s so damn obvious that he’s not and I just don’t know what to do because we are both all over the place about this and it’s so huge and I just don’t know what to do.”

Blaine ranted on, talking ten to the dozen and the look on Wes’ face told Blaine his friend had no idea what he was talking about.

“Blaine, you need to breathe man. I barely caught any of that; I really have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds like Kurt doesn’t want you to talk about it…”

“He doesn’t! But I can’t keep this bottled up any longer! It’s all I can think about and not in a good way because I haven’t slept in weeks because I'm so stressed out.”

Blaine took a deep breath.

“Wes, I'm terrified.”

Blaine slumped forward, his head falling into his arms crossed in the table.

“Look, man, I know Kurt doesn’t want you to talk about whatever this is but I can see its killing you. Just talk to me, I swear I won’t mouth off or judge you guys, you need to let off some steam, Blaine.”

Wes patted Blaine's back in a friendly comforting manner until the curly haired boy looked up.

“Okay Wes, but you have got to promise not to tell anyone. I'm only saying this ‘cause I trust you and I just can’t deal with this on my own anymore.”

Wes nodded at him with an encouraging smile.

“You know I won’t, Blainers.”

Blaine took a hesitant breath, looking over his shoulder.

“I didn’t even know this could happen and now it’s a huge mess just because we made one stupid mistake, and you probably aren’t even going to believe me, you’re going to think I'm nuts, but I sweat Wes we’ve been to the doctors and it is. I- We’re- Kurt’s- Kurt’s pregnant.”

Blaine sighed heavily after the last word.

Wes looked stunned for a moment and Blaine hung his head.

“I don’t think you’re mad, I'm surprised, yes, but I don’t think you’re nuts. You forget, my father is a doctor and he often gives me articles to read you know for new initiatives and discoveries. Apparently this isn’t as rare or crazy as people think, but I still never imagined.”

Wes shrugged in the same nonchalant manner as when Blaine had very first come out at Dalton. Wes was one of Blaine's more accepting friends. He certainly wasn’t as playful as Jeff or Nick, for example, but he was the one Blaine would go to in times of trouble.

Blaine considered Wes both a best friend and a kind of mentor even though they were both seniors, but Wes had very much taken the broken and silent Blaine under his wing when he had transferred to Dalton after the diabolical Sadie Hawkins dance.

“You know I'm here for you Blainers, you and Kurt both, and if he ever needs someone to talk about this with; someone on the outside, he can come to me. He’s one of us now and once a Warbler, always a Warbler no matter what happens.”

Blaine felt more reassured knowing there was someone there for him to talk to, and he felt a weight lift of his shoulders knowing they had someone like Wes looking out for them if they should need it. All he could do was nod and flash Wes the most grateful smile he could muster.

“Now do you want to talk about this or what? I mean do you guys have a doctor? I'm sure my Dad could set something up if you need to. Do you know how far along he is and all that stuff?”

Blaine nodded, his mind floating back to the ultrasound photo he kept in an inside pocket of his blazer and pulled it out to show Wes.

“This is him, or her.”

Blaine handed the photo over to Wes proudly who scrutinized it with squinted eyes for a few moments.

“Yeah, Kurt’s only ten weeks along so kinda still looks like, well, a peanut really but another month and he or she will really look like a baby the doctor said. Kurt is due October 12th.”

Blaine smiled and actually laughed a little, remembering how they pretty much hadn’t heard a word the doctor was saying once they had seen their little miracle on the screen. The doctor had ended up giving them copies of her forms because she could tell they hadn’t taken in a word she was saying.

Wes smiled.

“I'm happy for you guys. Have you decided what you are going to do?”

Blaine looked puzzled for a moment then nodded.
“We decided to keep it. It’s a miracle that this even happened and we just couldn’t terminate.”

Blaine shuddered, he hated that word.

“I mean, we accept that in seven months, give or take, we will have a baby, but I don’t think Kurt has accepted the pregnancy part and the fact it can’t just be our little secret forever. I just don’t know what to do, every time I think we are okay and that he’s got a hold on this he turns around and does this.”

Blaine waved his arms around indicating Kurt’s storming off and refusing to acknowledge it in public.

“I'm just worried he will never be ‘ready’ to tell his Dad and Carol and Finn that one day they will figure it out for themselves and he will be in an even worse situation because I swear Burt would be more bothered that Kurt kept something like this from him than him actually you know being pregnant and all of that.”

Blaine sighed heavily.

“I just don’t know what to do for the best; I can’t go behind his back and tell his Dad I just can’t do that to him. Everything we are is built on trust and communication, I can’t break that.”

Wes stopped him then.

“But he is doing that; he isn’t talking to you about this, not properly otherwise you wouldn’t be in such a state and be so confused. I see you guys and you are never like that. You know each other so well it’s sometimes like you are one person; one of you moves and the other is like a mirror image because you just know.”

“I guess, I suppose you’re right.”

Blaine shrugged, not catching Wes’s eye. Blaine was so used to being perfectly in synch with Kurt that everything felt off once Wes had said those words.

“You might not like what I am about to propose but just hear me out, okay?”

Blaine nodded.

“We tell Nick-“

Wes held up his hand as Blaine looked like he was about to protest but he fell silent.

“We tell Nick, because for some god forsaken reason Kurt trusts the guy and maybe, just maybe, he will listen to someone from an outside perspective.”

Blaine shrugged.

“I don’t know, Wes, I mean the whole point is that he won’t talk to anyone and forcing him to never works. Plus he will never forgive me for breaking his trust like that, never.”

Blaine could feel the tell-tale prickle of tears in his eyes at that thought. But he had to do something.

“Maybe- maybe give it a couple more weeks and if he still hasn’t come round to telling even just his Dad then I’ll reconsider, okay?”

Blaine sighed, hoping it wouldn’t come to that.

“Okay young Warbler, if that is your decision I will respect it, but if you have a second thought give me a shout.”

Wes saluted with a laugh and a small hint of a smile graced the corners of Blaine's mouth and he nodded with a chuckle.
