Blaine’s Pov
"When going through September’s sales agenda, I've gathered the numbers and compiled them onto one transparency."
I pulled an overhead slide out of my folder and put in on the projector.
"In girls, the baby born dolls, easy bake ovens, and Bratz high school edition dolls are up 40% in sales of what they were in the previous three months. But, baby borns’ competition doll, Chou chou, have been gathering dust on shelves all across the globe, not just the upper west coast. Baby born has swept them completely under the rug."
Mr. Phelps was smiling genuinely at me while the others took notes.
"Okay. So Chous’ are out. Well go ahead and take those off the market and order more baby born dolls. They seem to be selling out very quickly?" Mira addressed me with the statement yet question.
I nodded. "Very. In fact, the website comments are complaining that they are not available when they're demanded."
I had to admit, that I really loved being able to present in front of the meeting. It made me feel smart. And aside from Sebastian, all of the board members always agree and look praising for what I say. Especially Sherman.
“Okay, make a note to order more baby borns.”
Mira nodded at me to continue.
"Okay, this month the most popular toy sold so far is the Justin Bieber sing along doll with approximately 300 purchases so far, while the least popular was the aforementioned Chou Chou baby doll, with only 5 sales. Which is the lowest it’s ever been." I announced.
I would never tell them that I was totally the one that bought 3 of those five dolls.
Savannah’s mom, Janah gave me a credit card earlier in the week and asked me to pick up some things from Toys R Us; most importantly, baby born baby dolls for a baby shower game on Saturday. Baby borns though, were sold out.
I wouldn’t have been embarrassed buying them, because they aren’t for me, except that she added that we should take them home afterwards because Kurt and I need to learn to change diapers. It’s true I guess. Besides, Savannah and Finn thought to make a competition out of it.
"In the boys department, Harry Potter Lego sets are the top selling, and the lowest, were two items. Tied for equal sales. Tonka’s grab and go fire truck, and surprisingly, the smart cycles which are at the moment priced at a high 459.99.”
Some of the board members were looking at me confused, like I MUST have made a mistake.
“How is that possible? That was one of our most popular items last year.”
I nodded, remembering the commercials for that thing last year that came on like every commercial. They were pretty popular, but I had an answer.
“True, but there have been many complaints through email, and the sites comment sections from people. Almost all requesting a lower price, and say that it’s a great product, but that it warrants a lower price. Some are saying that it should’ve dropped at least a hundred being on the shelves for over a year now."
Some murmured that ‘it’s such a great product though’ while others nodded ‘that’s understandable…’
I slid the slide up quickly. No further comment for that needed I guess.
"Quite a few of the Tonka products are going down in market value. People are starting to venture into hot wheels, and even Fischer price, before they, and I quote “downgrade to Tonka.” According to parents circle comments online."
Some of the members shook their heads.
“That is a murdering shame.” Mira said.
“I love Tonka!” Another guy whose name I NEVER remember said.
“Tonka is going to last a lot longer than these newfangled brands!” Sherman snooted.
“I agree. The oldies are the bestie’s.” I said quietly. “Other than those though, most of the boys toys are doing really well. The holidays approaching is favoring the boys seemingly more than the girls."
I took my transparency off and put it back in my folder.
“Thank you Blaine.” Sherman told me as I took my folder and slides and resumed my seat beside him. I was so glad not to be sitting next to Sebast-jerk.
The meeting all had been writing things down and consulting with each other quietly as I sat down from presentation. Sherman put a fist out for me to pound as I resumed my seat beside him. “You, are getting better every day kid.”
I couldn't help but smile and probably blush. I started to pay attention to the meeting again as another assistant went up to present about online shoppers, when my phone lit up on the table. A text message. I got a little nervous seeing how I am an idiot leaving my phone in front of me on the table. Sherman saw the screen light up. I looked at him to mouth an apology, and he gave a jerk of the head to check it. I pulled it under the table. It was a text from Savannah…
“Blaine……..” was all it said.
……….That’s not good…..
I bit my lip. I got reamed yesterday for being on my phone during a meeting …. And if I texted her back, people would notice me texting….. and texting during a meeting would get me in trouble. Even though Sherman sort of gave me permission.
I started to tap my fingers though with nerves.
Savannah’s text just had to say absolutely nothing! Yet enough to worry the crap out of me.
Luckily, Sherman, picked up on my jitters.
"What’s wrong kid?” He whispered.
.... I hesitated to answer. I know that Sherman is in charge of Sebastian, which makes him in turn like, double in charge of me. But Sebastian would be pissed if Sherman relieved me prematurely when he would NEVER in a MILLION YEARS let me leave early for any reason.
"Uhm... it’s nothing sir. I just, I have somewhere I'm supposed to be in a few minutes."
And I wasn't lying. Technically, I was supposed to be in math class in 5 minutes. 1:15, but I got called at 1100 to come in at 11:30. Which was typical.
But I can't tell Mr. Sherman that.
"Go ahead kid. Do what you've gotta do. When can you be back?" He asked with a hand on my shoulder.
I looked to Sebastian who had raised eyebrows, no doubt sensing I had a dilemma.
"Uhm, 5?" I said, giving 2 extra hours leeway from my supposed to be start time which was at three. That way I could stop at the condo and bring some stuff that Savannah needs to have at her nursery at her parent’s house.
"Go ahead. Be back on-time Blaine. I’ll let Smythe know."
"Thank you sir.” I said, grabbing my bag, phone and coffee, and standing to leave.
"Excuse me everyone." They all nodded at me and some even waved as I left the area. Sebastian was glaring in a subtle way but I couldn’t worry about that right now. I pulled out my phone and dialed Savannah’s number.
"Blaine?" She answered, and she sounded scared.
"Yeah. What's up? I had to ditch on a meeting. Don't scare me like that! What's wrong?"
She sighed.
“Sorry to scare you. But I'm scared....”
I started to panic. She is due in three weeks, so things have been getting more complicated since Friday. “Why? What’s wrong?”
She whimpered before answering, making me start jogging out of the building rather than speed walk.
“I've been having contractions all night, and all day so far…. They really hurt, and my mom’s not here. I don’t want to be by myself……"
I bit my lip.
“Yeah, that’s not good………..
Savannah Pov
When my last contraction ended, I knew I had about 30 minutes before the next one came. I had to get back to getting stuff done while I could. Blaine wouldn’t be here for an hour, having been all the way in Westerville today for a board meeting. I have schoolwork, I have to get things sorted out in my bedroom at home so I can have room for half of my room to be a nursery, and I need to go over my hospital checklist.
Thank god Blaine ran into my room at about 2:00 with wide eyes.
“Hey. Sorry there was traffic. Are you okay? Why aren’t you in bed?”
I rolled my eyes at him. “I’m okay. Another one is coming in like 5 minutes if it stays the way it’s been for hours. Every half an hour they come. I’m just getting some stuff done while I can.”
Blaine came over and put his hands on his babies. They were still right now.
“They’re sleeping.” I said.
He frowned, but nodded, and then turned to pick up some baby stuff and started helping.
He and Kurt both LOVED feeling the babies move. Which was ALL THE TIME lately.
Blaine helped me breathe through a contraction, or three before 3:30 when school let out. I remembered then another thing that I was planning to get done this afternoon.
I have to head down the street to invite Hunter to my baby shower Saturday. Kurt said that my mom sent out a mass wall posting on my Facebook to alert my friends. The only thing is, Hunter is not on that list. Come to think of it, I don’t even think she has a Facebook. And I really want her to come. We’ve gotten strangely close in the past few weeks. It’s more of a quiet closeness. She’s pretty shy while I totally talk too much, but I really like her. After convincing Blaine that I can walk down the street for 3 minutes by myself, I put on a quick coat.
Approaching her house, waddling and holding my stomach that was now WAY too big for me to even function normally anymore, I shook my head with a chuckle.
It’s funny. I told myself I would never come here if I didn’t have to for work, but I have got to invite Hunter. I mean, she’s basically my age, and I swear, I never see her leave her house. Come to think of it, I never see her at school either. She’s always doing homework in the library, or hanging out in a teacher’s classroom. And at home, she’s always taking care of her siblings because her parents won’t do it. I can’t tell you how many times these kids are caught running around the block without clothes, and without someone watching them. Hunter is always the one to go and get them, and that’s the only time she’s ever out of the house.
She’s got to get out of there for once and have some fun. It’s my mission to get her to be able to be a teenager for a while. Starting with hanging out today, and then my baby shower.
…………………………………………………………
I invited her to come over, and of course her parents were skeptical to let her go, because both babies were awake and the dad was sitting on the couch watching the game. Of course……
“I guess I can watch them. Go ahead. Just be back before it gets dark.”
We went back to my house slowly because I’m just soooo slow these days. And Hunter was the first to start talking. Which was usually not the case. I was excited.
“You’ve gotten bigger and it’s only been a few weeks since I’ve seen you.”
I looked at her smirking. “Gee Thanks!” I laughed. “Blaine and Kurt have been marveling over me getting bigger. The bigger I get, the more they seem to move, and the more they move, the more their dads don’t stop touching! They’re driving me nuts!”
Hunter laughed. “Well, if they are still that way when they’re born, trust me, you’ll be relieved.”
Hunter right now, seemed more talkative than she ever was in her house.
“Are you scared? That you know, they’re almost here?”
I smiled a little. “Yes. Terrified. I’m really nervous. On top of them coming soon, and knowing their going to be a lot of work, I’m worried that I won’t have time to get my homework done and take care of them at the same time. And then there’s Finn. You know Finn right?”
Hunter nodded. “The hot yet completely goofy quarterback who was always permanently attached to your hand all day at school before summer?”
I opened my mouth wide. She was cracking up. “HE WAS NOT!” I retorted.
“Oh please! He was ALWAYS at your side. I swear, he has dated like 3 other girls at that school, and he was NEVER as lovely dovey with them as he is with you. He genuinely looks like he LIKES being near you.”
That made me smile. He has told me that before that when he was dating Quinn, she was bossy, and she kind of scared him, and Rachel just talked constantly talked, and he pretended to listen. And I quote, ‘I just smile and nod, afraid to say the wrong thing.’
I love being the girl that Finn actually likes.
We walked upstairs where Blaine had gotten almost all of the clothes hung up, and stuff put away in the 10 minutes I was gone. He’s really already a great dad.
However, he had brought more stuff in here from his car, so there was still plenty to do.
“Hi.” He said to Hunter who was trying to hide behind me, seeing that Blaine was here.
“Hi.” She said back shyly.
“Oh.” I said. “Blaine, this is my friend Hunter. She goes to McKinley with us. Hunter, the father.”
Blaine smiled. “Nice to meet you Hunter.”
“You too.” She said, and raised an eyebrow at me.
I rolled my eyes back. “It’s a long story. But I know. He’s cute right? But very gay. Party, drinking, sex. It equals babies.”
Hunter just snorted. “Apparently. At least your babies will be cute.”
Blaine blushed.
Hunter and I cleared out a chest of drawers in my half closet in the corner of my room, while we made small talk. I don’t know when, but she started to put stuff away too without me realizing it. She was hanging baby clothes up in my mini closet, as I put baby things in the drawers; Wipes, booties and diapers, onesies and burp cloths etc.
“Hunter, I didn’t ask you over to help me build a nursery. You seriously do enough housework and crap at your own house. Honestly, I just wanted to hang out. You don’t have to help me.”
Hunter just shrugged and smiled at the baby girl clothes she was holding.
“I don’t mind helping. I actually REALLY love baby clothes. I like to sew and crochet, so this is giving me a lot of ideas. I’m happy to help. Honestly, I’m just happy to be out of that house.”
I smiled, glad to provide her an escape, even if only for a little while.
“Seriously though. Thanks for asking me over. It’s nice to have a friend nearby for once.”
I smiled at her again. I knew it was a good idea to bring her over. Mission accomplished.
Apparently Kurt had called while I went to grab Hunter, and told Blaine that he would be over soon. He was leaving glee early. He called me at around 4:30 to say that Mr. Schue had been being a little stricter about people missing glee, as it was getting closer to sectionals, but he would let him go early, understanding that he’s got business to take care of. Kurt said he’d have left whether he was given permission or not.
He was really already a great dad too. Constantly worrying about the babies. Every time I have a contraction when he’s there, he gets excited, knowing that he won’t miss them coming.
Still though, I understand why Schue is being so strict. It’s because Kurt and Blaine are singing a duet this competition, but they can practice outside of Glee. Not to mention, they have to do that because Blaine doesn’t go to Glee anymore. He goes to the lunch glee meetings, but he’s been missing more and more of those lately too because he gets called into work.
Thankfully, my contractions every half an hour stopped at about 7:30 that night. My mom got home at 4:30, and it was good because Blaine had to go back to work, and Kurt wasn’t able to get here until later.
My mom said though that my contractions every half hour were no cause for going to the hospital. She said it’s still normal, and the contractions will stop on their own, and then over the next few weeks, start coming closer together.
I hate this…. The contractions hurt so much, and I’m really getting over being pregnant. I’m ready for these babies to be out. I love them, but the pain is really bad when it comes, and they need to GET OUT.
But soon.
I have to just keep telling myself that…….
Soon.

All Knowing Pov
Wednesday afternoon, Justin came into his sister’s room to wake er up.
"Savannie?"
Savannah was yawning out of her slumber and sitting up in bed. She thought happily ‘Ah, the best thing about being pregnant is that middle of the day naps were totally normal and allowed.’
“Sav?” Justin called again.
Savannah groaned and swung her legs out of bed. “What?”
"Mommy said you have to come to church….."
“Ugh!” Savannah moaned and layed back in bed.
The last time she went to church, she was 6 months pregnant, and some of the church members looked at her waaaay too much. Church got really uncomfortable. Now, even worse, it was a Wednesday night service, and those are always jam packed with people. She wasn’t ready to face anyone. Especially now, she’s almost due, huge, and contracting at random.
However, she didn’t have a choice because a few minutes later, her mom came upstairs, and dragged her out of bed.
“Put on a nice dress and let’s go. We all have missed Sunday service lately because of work, and you haven’t been back to church in MONTHS! We’re going, and you are going. Let’s go!”
Despite her strong internal protests, she got up and went to church. The best part, was that she was still youth, so she got to go to Sunday school at least, and not have to face all of the adults in the congregation right away. (Well, Wednesday’s Sunday school.)
Of course, a few members of the church still looked at her with shame, same as they had months ago when she was here last. And she felt bad also because they looked at her mom and dad that way too. But, there weren’t a lot of those people.
Mostly, it wasn’t so bad because not everyone was judging her. Most of the church actually fawned over her twins. Referring to her bump as an adorabelly. The nicest thing, was the people who think of her babies as a blessing.
Her church believes, "God never makes mistakes." Which was actually the topic for tonight’s sermon.
Things were going amazing, and not at all uncomfortable until her pastor came to talk to her before the ending sermon.
“So Savannah. It’s great to have you back in church honey!”
She blushed a little as the pastor hugged her a bit awkwardly because of her stomach. “Thanks pastor Derek.”
“So, are you gonna be bringing in those little ones soon?”
Savannah smiled. “Maybe. I don’t know. We’ll see. It’s hard enough getting myself up and ready to go. Adding two might be a challenge.” She chucked.
“Oh but you’ve gotta bring them in to be baptized.” He said excitedly.
But Savannah was not ready for that. That’s when things got quiet.
Savannah may be Christian, but that doesn’t warrant her getting her babies baptized Christian. That’s a decision that needs to be made with Kurt and Blaine, and she’d never thought about it before.
“Uhm. The babies probably won’t be baptized pastor.”
It was still quiet.
“You’re not going to get them baptized?” He asked looking confused, and kind of hurt. She bit her lip before responding, hoping her next words would come out right.
“The babies’ dads are not religious, and I'm not going to open a can of worms like that. It’s just easier that way. I don’t think I would ever do something that their dads would be uncomfortable with, and baptizing them in MY religion is kind of insensitive….”
The pastor scratched a body part, no doubt hearing Savannah say ‘dads’ twice. Savannah regretted opening her mouth at all.
“Well, maybe you’ll change your mind. Great to have you back sister.”
And he patted her back and walked away.
Savannah exhaled as her mom and dad both put hands on her shoulder.
“You handled that better than I would have sweetie. I’m proud of you.” Her dad said. She smiled.
It was a little hard being a Christian, because her and her family had always had NO problem with gay people. And neither did the majority of their church. Kurt had even been here once and received NO judgement.
“God never makes mistakes.” Was their church motto. And a lot of the church members know that being gay is NOT a choice. That people are born that way.
Some of them however, like the pastor, believe that being gay IS a choice, and god DIDN’T make them that way, so they’re going against god’s will by their own choice. Savannah was raised Christian, but also raised knowing that being gay is NOT a sin, and that God loves everyone equally. But going to church was always confusing for her because everyone’s views are so different. Even further complicating things, she’s carrying her babies, and will be parenting them WITH two gay men, and she felt ZERO shame about it.
Mercedes mom came up to the Lake’s just as they were leaving the hall where the snacks were before the sermon began.
“Oh honey you look great. You are glowing!”
Savannah blushed, and rubbed her babies.
“So why haven't you been coming to church so much lately? We’ve missed you!” Mercedes and her mom each hugged her, and Harry and Janah as well.
“I’m sorry. Last time I was here, the looks from some people were just…. Really upsetting me... I just….. I couldn't come back.”
Mercedes mom though, was so wise, and amazing.
“Pass me not" babe. God loves us all. And he never makes mistakes. Your mistake is just another one of Gods blessings. And if people can’t see that, God can be the one to judge them for their hate. But they are not worthy to judge you……"
Savannah just smiled huge, and hugged Mercedes’ mom.
It was just what she needed to hear.
~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~
“So. Baby names. What do you guys like for names?” Blaine asked laying across the bottom of Savannahs bed. Kurt was leaning on Blaine’s mid back, and Savannah and Finn meshed together feet aligned with Kurts, but the opposite way.
Janah had been giving Blaine information about things to get done before Saturday every day this week now. With only three days to go, they had to get baby names decided. Janah said that there was a game she really wanted to have the guests play, but they had to pick names first, and since they had never thought about names at all, it was a good idea.
They tried to do it Tuesday, but Savannah couldn’t stay awake and Kurt was in the zone with a history paper.
But now, they had to get it done. The shower was approaching quickly.
Kurt was the first to make a suggestion. “Lily for a girl, because it is the most gorgeous flower.” “And it’s Savannah’s favorite.” Finn chimed in. Sav smiled at Finn for knowing that.
Finn told the Kurt and Blaine upfront that he wouldn’t suggest any names, but they all told him that he could if he wanted to. His input wouldn’t be unappreciated or anything, but Finn thought that was something that just they should decide. He didn’t want to interfere. But, since he was there to hear the choices, he wouldn’t be able to play the baby name game at the shower.
“And Liam for a boy. I think it means, strong willed, or warrior, if I remember correctly.”
Blaine nodded as Savannah didn’t answer. She had her nose buried in a baby name book her mom found in a box in their garage earlier.
“Lily is pretty, but I don’t know about Liam.” Blaine said with a scrunched face.
“Liam means ‘strong willed warrior.’ Together. But I second. I like Lily, but not Liam.” Savannah said.
Kurt rolled his eyes and said, “Ok, well what do you like Blaine?”
“How do you guys like Aayden? Aayden and Aileen?”
This time, Kurt was quick. “I LOVE the name Aayden. Hate Aileen.”
“I second!” Savannah said again.
Blaine sighed and Kurt gave another suggestion. “K. What about Aayden, and Caidyn? Aiden means little fire, and Caidyn means fighter.”
“Heh. Little fire fighter. Heheh…..” Finn laughed dorkily.
“Too close to the same name. It might be kind of confusing. What about Kadenn spelled the boys way, and Lily? I mean, do they have to be similar?” Blaine said.
Kurt shrugged. “Well no, I guess not, but I like the idea of the names being alike. It’s twinny. And nowadays, everyone is naming their twins completely opposite names. I want ours to be close even with their names.”
“I agree with Kurt. As a kid, I ALWAYS wanted kids that had names alike.” Savannah added.
Finn just listened, and was thinking in his head, if he ever had a kid what he would name it.
“If I ever have a kid, I know what his name will be. I’d name him after my dad.”
“Burt?” Blaine said, knowing he was a dork.
Finn rolled his eyes. “Yeah Blaine. Burt. That’s like putting a target on your kids back!” They all laughed. “But no. my dad’s name was Christopher. But then again, that name is really common and Savannah doesn’t like common, so…… I think I’d name him Corey. Corey Christopher Hudson.”
Savannah looked lovingly at Finn. Maybe one day they’d be married and have a baby of their own. She sat up a little. “Why Corey?” She asked.
Finn just shrugged. “I don’t know. Something about it. My mom said I was almost named Corey, but my dad liked Finn, so she gave in. I think she’d like having a grandkid named Corey though.”
After Savannah and Finn stared lovingly at each other for a while, and Kurt and Blaine rolled their eyes, they went back to discussing name suggestions.
“Kallie and Cameron?”
“Elly and Eli?”
Savannah and Finn weren’t involved at all. Kurt and Blaine looked at them and noticed why. They had started to kiss a little, and Kurt pulled them apart to get back on track.
“Sav, you haven’t given any suggestions. Anything? You are the mommy.”
Sav thought for a minute. “Okay, don’t laugh at me. This is a little weird. But I really love the letter M. So what do you think about Malachai and Michelle?”
Both boys were a little intrigued.
But…..
“Michelle, NO. Too common. I hate common.” Kurt said.
“Malachai’s a great one though.” Blaine agreed.
They all nodded.
“Malachai means messenger.” Kurt said.
Savannah finally got curious. “Okay, why do you know what all these names mean?”
“Because he became a human dictionary when you got pregnant.” Blaine answered picking up the baby name book Savannah had just abandoned.
“Okay, guys, we still have a problem. We have a bunch of names, but no one likes the one that goes with it.” Kurt said annoyed. “I mean, with what we’ve got we’re gonna end up with a Kallie and Malachai!”
It was a bit quiet.
“Wait, that’s not bad.” Kurt retorted. “I have a thing for K and Savannah likes M. I like that combo.” he said quietly in realization.
“I don’t know if I like the meaning behind Malachai though. It’s not that special. I mean, MESSENGER? It seems a little boring.” Savannah said.
They all nodded. And once again, they were torn.
“Okay. Let’s put our heads together for a minute. We need a name that goes together with another perfectly. That start with K and or M, and means something special.”
They were discussing names for over an hour before they came up with anything that everyone liked.
Kurt had taken to writing names down to see how they looked together.
“Hey guys. What about these? They meet every requirement.”
Blaine and Savannah looked at the paper, and then looked at each other with smiles. Then they looked at Kurt.
“Kurt, they’re perfect!”
“Baby, you are a freaking genius!” And Blaine kissed him.
“They go awesome with each other too. Nice going bro.” Finn added.
So that night, Kurt called Janah, and she was thrilled to hear the decided names of her grandkids. Harry looked over her shoulder at the email, and smiled.
“I guess it’s officially official….. I can’t believe they are almost here…. It’s unreal.”
Janah nodded. “I know……Are you ready to be a grandpa?”
He looked at her with an unreadable expression. “Not even a little. But I’ll get there…..”
Janah chuckled. “There’s only two weeks left honey.” And her husband nodded.
“I know.”
She put the names in the computer and made her order. She chose express delivery, and that was that. Everything for the baby shower was ready.
~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~0o0~~<>~~
(forgive me, but this part was hard for me to write because I’ve never been to an actual; fun baby shower.
All knowing Point of View (or, me narrating weirdly…. Sorry..)
Before Savannah arrived with Kurt and Blaine, there were a few things that were being set up with the guests. There was a tall baby bottle filled to the max, with sweet tart baby bottle candies. Savannah’s aunt Crystal took the job to ask everyone to guess a number, and write everyone’s guesses down so that at the end of the party, the person with the closet to correct number could win their prize.
People’s numbers ranged from 142 to 790. It was insane how different everyone guessed.
There was also other things that the three parents were unaware were going on before the party that would come to fruition at the days close.
Like a baby bingo game for all of the guests. Everyone knows that when the guest of honor opens their presents, it’s a little fun to get to watch, but it’s even more fun to be doing something at the same time. The prizes for the baby bingo winners will be small, but there will be a bin full of prizes for all of the small prize winners. They’ll be able to pick their own prize. There’s 5 dollar gift cards to random little places. (mcdonalds, jamba juice, worldstuff), small candy bags, lotions, scented mini candles, chocolate bars, chapsticks, random stuff, but not useless enough that guests would throw them away.
Luckily, and awesomely, Janah’s brother Mark works for a gift card company, so he got a great deal. As his gift for the parent’s he provided the prizes for their baby shower. He paid 150 dollars for an approx. 200 dollar value discounted bundle of gift cards. Twenty, 5 dollar gift cards, three, 15 dollar gift cards, and five, 10 dollar gift cards.
Another game was the ‘Baby name guessing game.’
“Okay. Everyone knows that they are having twins. A boy and a girl. All of you know Kurt and Blaine and or Savannah in some way or another, so think of them when you make your choice. Everyone has just gotten a card. On that card, put your name at the top, and then there’s a spot to fill in baby names. You can write what you want them to name their kids, or what you think they will name their kids. At the end of the party, the three parents will get to see what all of you guys wrote, and laugh at it or praise it. But then they get to pick the three closest names to what they chose. The closest guesser will get a 20 dollar gift card. Second will get 15, and third will get a 10. Then, Harry’s gonna bring out a cake with the baby names on it and we’ll find out for sure.”
Lastly, Savannah’s belly was to be measured as soon as she came in, and the adults all made guesses for how many inches she is.
Everyone was ready for the shower guests of honor to come in.
………………………………………………………
Kurt, Blaine and Savannah were approaching the rec center slowly. “You had better act surprised, because you were NOT supposed to know about this!”
Savannah knew the deal, and knew what to do. Besides, just because she knew this was a shower, she had no idea who would be in here. And technically, neither did Kurt.
“Surprise!”
Savannah was smiling like the biggest dork on the planet seeing so many people! She was so overcome with excitement. She had no idea just how big the event was going to be.
“Thi Thi Crystal!!!!! Uncle Tim!”
She waddle ran over to her family members that she hadn’t seen in forever. “Uncle James! Auntie Deb!”
Kurt smiled at the turnout as well, and looked around to see everyone who was here. He spotted his dad standing near the food table with Carole, but behind them, standing against a wall was two people he was beyond ecstatic to see.
“Aunt Chrissi? Uncle Paul?” He whispered, walking over to them. They smiled noticing him noticing them.
“Hey nephew!!! It’s been so long!!!!!”
Kurt molded himself to his family in tight hugs that surely cut off some oxygen supply.
“How’d you guys know about the shower?” He asked, a little confused. They couldn’t have been Savannah’s Facebook friends.
“Your dad called us. Told us you had a boyfriend and he got himself into a pickle. And Mr. ever responsible was joining him in the dad role. So it’s your baby shower too. We had to be here!”
Kurt was thrilled.
There were also a few cousins from Kurt’s family lingering about with more of Savannah’s family.
They each simultaneously called out family members names, and hugs were exchanged everywhere.
Blaine was a smiling retard watching his boyfriend so happy. He got to see his family, and have a good time at the baby shower his parents threw last week, so it was nice to be able to see Kurt get the same. In truth, he’s gonna be the babies other dad. Just as responsible for the twins as he and Savannah will be. He deserves to celebrate and enjoy this party as much as Savannah does. Blaine had his turn.
Even better, was being around such awesome and accepting people. Not only Savannah’s family members that he met who didn’t judge him, or Kurt in the slightest, but also Kurt’s family. Everyone seemed to be nothing but happy about Kurt and Blaine being so cute together. It was so nice to be near people who knows he is gay and are okay with it.
“He’s very cute Kurt. Can I have him?”
“Way to go for a sex god, Nephew!!”
Blaine could only blush.
“I’m so glad you guys are here!” and “This is so exciting!” was so fun and exciting to hear from every part of this room.
Savannah was hugging her aunt Lucinda, and Kurt swinging his young cousin Avery around when someone said,
“Hi. You know because we didn’t miss you guys at all or anything.” It came from the opposite side of the room, where there was food laid out.
It was Puck.
Savannah, Blaine and Kurt went over to them. “I missed you too Puck.” And she hugged him too, and he kissed her hair.
“And where have you been?” Sam asked.
Blaine rolled his eyes and said, “It’s been all work and no play. You know how it is.”
Puck and Mike were glaring Kurt down. “What? You guys see me at school every day!”
As Savannah walked down the row of New Directions, Sam rubbed his knuckles along her head playfully, Mercedes hugged her longer than anyone else, Mike kissed her head, and Tina stuck a sticker that said “Not fat, PREGNANT!” on her belly.
Savannah saw a new face, and introduced herself. “I’m Savannah. I’ve seen you before, but I don’t think I’ve actually met you.”
Tina was the one to introduce further.
“This is Wade. Well, Unique. She was in Vocal adrenaline last year, but transferred so now she’s in Glee. She’s awesome!”
Savannah shrugged. Any New Directions are friends of hers.
Except Quinn, who Savannah was GLAD was not here.
“Nice to meet you Unique.” And they hugged.
Continuing down the line, was Brittany and Santana. Britt just knelt to hug her babies, not Savannah, and Santana of course, had to make some kind of Santana comment.
“Thanks for the invite preggo. And wow! Look who got boobs! Who knew all I had to do was get pregnant? I could’ve saved myself a whole surgery. Bummer.”
Savannah rolled her eyes, and hugged her.
At the end of her row of friends, stood Finn, who took her in his arms and kissed her slow.
“Is this the dad?” One of her family members said looking at Finn.
“No Uncle. This is my boyfriend Finn. Blaine and Kurt, these two,” she said pointing at them, “are the dads. And Blaine is the biological dad. Long story.”
The New Directions all laughed.
“You mean a funny as hell long story?” Puck laughed.
Her uncle Tim chuckled. “Well nice to meet all of you. Boyfriend. Baby daddies.” Savannah’s uncle turned to Finn. “No more any time soon after these ones you hear?”
Surely, he meant it as a joke, but this was a big man. Finn nodded quickly. “No sir. Not for a looooong long long time.”
Uncle Tim shook his hand. “Good man.” And then patted him playfully on the arm.
As he walked back to the other adults at the party, Finn took a deep and shaky breath. “That guy is scary. How come I got the piss scared out of me! He didn’t say anything to YOU!” Finn said, directed at Blaine. “You’re the one that got her pregnant!”
Blaine just grabbed a can of soda from the table behind him and put his hands up in ‘I don’t know.’ “Gay.” He said with a shrug. “Boyfriend” he pointed to Kurt.
“Sucks for you bro.” Kurt said, and walked somewhere else dragging Blaine behind him.
Savannah just burst out laughing as her mom walked over and pulled her away.
She took a tape measure and put it around her stomach when they were out of eyesight.
“Mom, why are you measuring my hugeness?”
“It’s for a shower game. Now be still!” Her mom told her.
She measured her belly. “Wow. Girl, these twins are gonna be big.”
“Oh thank you mom. As if I didn’t feel enormous already.” Savannah said, as her dad approached and handed her a juice. “Thanks daddy.”
Harry also handed her a baby bottle full of baby bottle candy and said, “How many?”
“I have to guess how many are in here?” She asked. “A lot!”
……………………………………………
“I guessed 500.” Puck said. “I’m figuring it’s probably an even number, and they are trying to throw us off thinking its super random.”
Sam said next. “I said 352, because I disagree. It’s gotta be a random.”
Kurt, Blaine and Savannah were so busy greeting everyone at the party, they didn’t even notice the gifts that were on a long table, underneath it, and surrounding it.
“Oh god no……” Kurt whined pointing to the gift table he just spotted…
“We’ve got to get out of here. Run!” Finn whispered.
Blaine smiled though. The more baby stuff they got, the less money his wallet would be hemorrhaging.
“Oh my gosh!!! Look! Its two baby butt bakes!!!!! Sooo cutee!!!!!” Blaine cried. It was indeed cute! One had little pink frilly underwear over a diaper and the other had blue with no frills.
And beside it was a giant tower made of diapers. In it, there were baby lotions and burp cloths, washrags, and baby oils, and baby wash.
“More stuff to put away……….. Yay…” Finn said with sarcastic excitement, and under his breath. Savannah hit him in the arm!
“Shhh….. You’re making us sound unappreciative!” She chuckled.
Finn scrunched his face at her, and kissed her nose.
……………………………………………………..
“Ok! I need 8 people who like chocolate for this game!” Savannah’s mom called.
Everyone, including the adults, came forward.
“Ok Blaine. You pick the players.”
Blaine laughed. “This is gonna be hilarious. Ok. Puck for sure.”
“Yes!” Puck hissed and came forward. Kurt guided him to a chocolate poo filled diaper.
Sav’s Aunt Deb was raising her hand high and waving it like a child.
Blaine laughed. “Ok, Ms. Deb, come on up.”
She smiled and walked forward.
“Burt.” Blaine called, and he went forward happily.
“Dad! You should not be eating chocolate!” Kurt called, objecting.
“Oh son, it’s a party. Let me have a little fun!”
Carole gave Kurt a look to leave him be. Kurt rolled his eyes, and gave in with a sigh.
“Brittany, Unique, and Harry.” Blaine chose as the three put their hands down and stepped forward.
“Hunter and Justin.” Blaine announced last.
Janah put a blindfold on everyone, and afterwards, Kurt arranged everyone to stand in front of a diaper that Harry brought from the microwave.
“Okay. All of these diapers have a melted chocolate bar in it. You have to smell the diaper, and make a guess as to what the candy bar is.
Burt: “This one is definitely Hersheys.”
Justin: “I got a Reeses”
Deb: “This is either Twix or milky way.”
Hunter: “Uhm.. Kit Kat?”
Puck: “This smells like a freaking candy cane! That’s not fair!”
Harry: “Wow, I have no freaking idea what that is…”
Unique: “Snickers baby! I’d know this smell anywhere!”
Brittany: “It’s chocolate.”
……………………………………………..
“Noah! That is disgusting!!” Kurt called, after Savannahs mom gave out See’s candy prizes for the correct guessers.
Puck was not one of those winners….
“What!? It’s just chocolate! And since I didn’t guess mine right, I’m not getting candy elsewhere. It’s still good!”
“That’s so gross.” Santana said too.
“You know what? Screw you guys.” Puck snapped, and picked up a few more chocolate diapers, and went to sit on a couch.
Blaine was just cracking up in a corner with Kurt looking at Puck in disgust.
“Well, he’s kind of right. It’s just melted chocolate...” Blaine said.
Kurt gave him a bitch please, look. “Would YOU eat melted chocolate out of a diaper?”
Blaine lost his smile just picturing that.
“Uhh….. Ok No…….. No I wouldn’t….”
………………………………………………….
Musical chairs, but in a different way, was a blast. Everyone stood in a circle and passed a gift around. When the music stopped, they had to unwrap as much paper as they could until the music started again. Then they pass it along again. There was so much wrapping paper, no one thought that there was even really a gift.
“This is bullshhhhhhhh-“ he spotted Justin come out in the middle of the circle, and saw little Avery gasp. “Shhhcrap!” He corrected. “There’s nothing in here!”
Janah stopped the music. “Just keep unwrapping! There IS a prize!”
She started the music again, and Puck passed the prize along. Turned out, there was a prize. It was a 15 dollar gift card to Lima Mall, and Hunter won it.
Puck lost.
Another game was set up at a long table with 3 bottles at each place setting.
“Okay. This next game is for the kids only. The adults have to pick a teen to oversee. All of these bottles have 2 different drinks mixed together. Teens have to guess what all three drink mixes are before anyone else at the table.”
Puck refused to not be playing any of the games, so he participated in every single game of the party. Burt went to be Pucks judge. Hilarity.
Savannah wanted to play, because of her juice obsession. Kurt objected.
“Savannah, there’s caffeinated soda mixed with some of them. You have to sit this one out.”
“Oh COME. ON! Blaine, help me out here!!” Savannah pleaded.
Blaine turned away. “Ohh look, deviled eggs. Love these.”
“Mom?!” She tried.
“Kurt’s right. No caffeine for you. You can play the next game sweetheart.”
Savannah pouted and walked to another food table where Finn kissed her sticking out lip. “It’s okay babe.”
……………………………………………………….
Puck lost.
And Finn won with flying colors.
“Whoo!” he yelled raising his prize above his head in triumph. He won a 6 pack of root beer.
Puck was getting frustrated, but with that frustration, he was getting determined. He WOULD be winning a party game today.
“Okay okay whatever! Finn won. Whoopdee doo! WHATS THE NEXT GAME!?” Puck shouted.
Everyone laughed at his expense. He was getting so unnecessarily heated over not winning anything.
Janah rolled her eyes. There had been breaks to mingle, and eat and what have you in between games, but she figured, whatever, let’s move on since no one objected.
“Okay. The next game is simple. But beware, you might get wet.”
‘What’?! And ‘Huh?’ And ‘Oh my god!’ And ‘Are you serious?’
The expressions that filled the air.
“We have some water balloons that need diapering. Once everyone is ready and in front of their balloon, the adults are pinning holes in the front to symbol a baby boy during a diaper change. Peeing on you! You have to get the diaper on fast as you can in order to avoid getting wet.” Janah explained.
“So who’s playing?” Harry asked.
Tell me why all three parents backed away, and started to whistle and do other things?
“Uhm! Parents? This game is for you. Get over here. You three are mandated players!” Kurt, Blaine and Savannah laughed as they shook their heads, and walked over to where the balloon babies were.
“All right. We have 2 more balloon babies.” Janah said, and Puck happily walked in front of one.
“It’s on!” He said.
“Finn, why don’t you claim one? Put some birth control reasons in your head.” Burt called. Carole nodded fervently along.
Finn rolled his eyes and put his soda down beside Savannah’s plate of food. “K.”
“Oh, and by the way, you’re blindfolded.”
“What?!” Everyone shouted.
…………………………………………..
It was hilarity.
Finn got peed on.
“Stupid balloon!” He shouted.
Puck got peed on.
“Oh come on Puckerman! You started babysitting Beth 2 months ago! Can’t you change a diaper by now?” Sam called.
“Shut up Sam! Beth doesn’t have a penis to pee on me!!!! Girls are easier to change!”
Savannah got peed on.
And everyone just laughed.
Blaine remained dry. But took forever to get the diaper on correctly.
He kept his tongue out in concentration.
And Kurt won with no problem, and was holding up his balloon model baby.
“How’d you do that so perfectly?” A wet faced Savannah asked.
“And so fast!!?” his boyfriend said as well, still trying to put the diaper on.
Kurt raised his eyebrows and shrugged a shoulder. “I’ll never tell.”
……………………………………………………………………….
“More balloons? What game is this?” Blaine asked as Janah taped some more balloons to the table top.
“This game is another diapering one. But this time, you’re using cloth diapers and you have to pin the diapers at the end, without popping the balloon!”
You’d think it was Puck who complained about the unfairness of that, but this time it was Finn.
“That’s total crap. If I pop it, Blaine and Kurt will NEVER let me go near their kids!”
Harry and Burt cracked up laughing. “Well then I guess you need to be careful and NOT STICK THE BABY!” Burt shouted.
“I got this!” Puck said again, with confidence.
………………………. And Puck was the first to pop his ‘balloon/baby.’
“Well, we know who is NEVER babysitting….” Kurt whispered to Blaine.
They just snickered under their breath.
“Hey! I’m the only player here who has babysitting EXPERIENCE! No one uses cloth diapers anymore!!” Puck defended.
……………………………………………………………………………….
The game where you have to dress the baby doll the fastest was one of the more popular games of the whole shower. The chou chou dolls Blaine had gotten were priceless. They not only cried real tears, and peed real pee, but they were soft like a real baby. Everyone wanted to play that game, so the dolls were stripped several times, and there were 10 winners.
“Okay, I don’t approve of the striped pants with the polka dot and flower top on this little…. HIDEOUS thing, but I’m totally ready for these babies. And first paycheck I get after their born, I am hitting the mall so our children aren’t stuck wearing ANYTHING like this.”
“Lord help your wallets….” Burt and Carole said at the EXACT same time, word for word.
Everyone at the party laughed at that, and Kurt shook his head at everyone.
“You people don’t understand fashion! We have to start them young. Right Blaine?” He said still holding up the doll.
But Blaine once again had his tongue sticking out in concentration, and was still busy dressing one of the dolls. Again.
“Blaine?” Kurt tried again for reinforcements. He turned to see his boyfriend still facing the table.
“Blaine, honey, how many times are you going to strip and dress that thing?” Carole asked.
“Until I get it RIGHT!”
Poor Blaine was so frustrated. The doll just wouldn’t cooperate with the outfit he was trying to put on it. It was twisting in the wrong places, and wouldn’t stay buttoned in others.
“Okay, one question Kurt. How do you deal with his adorability?” One of Savannah’s family members asked him.
Kurt just smiled huge. “I’ll call you when I figure it out. I just enjoy it.” And he kissed his boyfriends curls.
……………………………………………………….
Baby food guessing was filled with hilarity!
“I feel so sorry for babies…..” Mike said with spoonful of baby squash in the bottom of his mouth, as far away from his tongue as possible.
“Ok, this tastes exactly like adult applesauce, what’s the difference?” Finn said.
“Well, if you ignore the fact that this is rice, meat and peas blended together, and looks like cat puke, it actually tastes like Rice, meat and peas…….” Blaine said…. Then paused hearing how bad that sounded…… “Okay, ewww….” And he spit it out in a paper towel. And it wasn’t the first time today that he had not realized how gross something was until after he said it wasn’t.
Oh Blaine!
“They must use completely brown bananas to make this stuff, because it is too sweet and mushy to be a normally ripe banana.” Tina said, making a disgusted face after she swallowed.
“Ugh! This tastes like a baby’s diaper smells!” Mercedes said, also spitting her baby gush into a napkin. “But I think its Broccoli and cheese or something.
“It was delicious.” Brittany said. “Is there anymore?”
Everyone just looked grossly at her. Only Brittany……
“Is this beef and gravy or something?” Puck asked wincing at this strong taste.
“Wow…... this tastes like nothing…..” Kurt said, tasting what he didn’t know was rice cereal.
Everyone who played except Kurt guessed their baby food correctly.
And Brittany. But Janah thought it might be insulting to not give her a prize. After all, she tried every single food.
“Finally!” Puck shouted, holding up a 5 dollar gift card to Jamba Juice! “Yeah! Puckzilla!”
……………………………………………………..
“Girl! You have got him wrapped around your finger don’t you!?” Aunt Lucinda asked her niece as Finn walked back to the snack table to retrieve Savannah a plate of food.
Sav just smiled. “Honestly, sometimes I feel like I take advantage of him, but he is so quick to do what I say I want just by me mentioning it. It’s without me asking him to do it for me.”
“Oh don’t act like you don’t love it!”
Sav just blushed and smiled. “Maybe I do. He’s freaking perfect! I love it. And he always asks if I need something else. So quick to please. And yet so hot! He’s amazing.”
Finn came back with a plate for his girl, and sat beside her. “Here you go!” and then he started promptly picking at it.
The two giggled at each other.
………………………………………………………………………………
“What’s in the bag?” Harry asked everyone.
A group of people had to guess what was in each closed paper bag that had a baby object in it. Each bag had one of the following items in it.
A rattle, a pacifier, a toy car, a teething toy, a Barbie, a large Lego, a diaper, a pair of booties, baby nail clippers, and a baby food jar.
Tina won!
………………………………………………
“The prize for this game is 2 free bowling tickets! Baby bottle bowling!”
An orange was wrapped in a diaper and used as the ball. 10 baby bottles in a row were set up. Everyone got a strike at least once, but Burt won with ease with all six of his bowls ending in strikes.
“I am the champ! Take that Puckerman!”
Puck wasn’t happy to have lost.
“I can’t believe I was beat by an old man………”
“This next game will be VERY fun! As many people who can have got to play. Guests are divided into groups of two or three. One by one, groups name a song containing the word 'baby' in the title or the lyrics. When a group is unable to think of a 'baby' song within 30 seconds, they are eliminated from the game. If another team doubts the validity of a group's choice, they can challenge the team to sing at least 5 words of that song. If they can't sing it, they're eliminated. Then the last team standing is the winner! So get into groups!”
“Awesome!” A bunch of people shouted.
………………………………………………………………..
“Baby by Bieber!!!!” Sam shouted, as his group nodded with him, Puck and Finn singing off key being that they weren’t trying.
They got a point.
“Baby imma want you” Carole said quickly after. Janah was about to give them a point, but one of the teens groups objected.
“Never heard of it!!!!” Tina, Mike, and Unique said. “You have to sing!”
So they sang, and got a point.
“Everybody talks” Hunter said, and Joe just nodded in agreement.
A bunch of the groups raised eyebrows.
“That doesn’t have baby in the lyrics!”
Hunter had to sing to prove herself, and they got a point.
“Baby got back!” Finn shouted, at which point the boys on his team stood and started to perform it with some terrible beat-boxing.
Everyone won prizes for that game. And everyone had a blast. None of the teens accepted any of the adults songs had baby in them because they didn’t know any of the songs.
“Oh come on! Build me up buttercup!” Carole and Deb both shouted.
“Sorry, doesn’t ring a bell.” Santana tried to defend! “Now sing!”
“How about I’ve got you babe?” Burt tried. But Janah was quick to shut him down.
“Nope. Babe doesn’t count. I probably should’ve said that at the beginning. Only BABY.”
The game was fun, but overall, the teens won it. There is so much more music nowadays than there was back in the ‘olden days’, as the kids were saying to tease the adults in the room.
But, the parents and grownups, definitely got their well-deserved revenge. They had a major comeback with the next game.
……………………………………………………………
“I don’t want to hear it! You are ALL past freshman year, and you’ve all taken environmental science. You should know these! If you don’t, you’ll lose. It’s as simple as that.” Janah told the complaining high schoolers.
For this game, the players had to name the male, female, and offspring of a bunch of animals, but, none of the kids seemed to know ANYTHING!
Except Hunter. She racked up about as much points as the adults did.
“This is so bull. A baby rabbit is totally a bunny!” Santana said. But Janah wrote Kindle/Kit, on the board.
“I’ve never even heard of a shoat or a farrow. A baby pig is a friggin baby pig!” Sam yelled at the next one.
“Oh! Fine okay, Lion and Lioness. Whatever, I’ll give you that one… well played…..” Mike nodded at the board Janah was writing the correct answers on. “At least I got cub!”
“You know what?! Who cares what a baby seal is called!” Puck said nonchalantly crumpling his paper. He was acting disinterested, but was really bummed that he DEFINITELY didn’t win this one.
The adults just sat back and laughed at the complainers. They needed to pay more attention in school. Or just pick up a book.
……………………………………………………………………..
The final game to play before gifts would be opened, and prizes would be given, was the CHUG A LUG game.
And it was priceless.
“Everyone, prepare to be a baby again for a while. We have newborn baby bottles of apple juice here. Don’t look so happy, it’s not as easy as you think. These nipples are seriously hard to drink out of, and babies have incredible sucking power that we do not have. Whoever drinks their juice down the fastest, gets a 10 dollar gift card. Go!”
All 8 players picked up a baby bottle, and chugged.
Or so they tried. The holes were microscopic. How in the world babies did this comfortably, none of them knew.
Carole, Savannah’s aunt Deb, Savannah, Puck, Kurt, Santana, Finn, and Brittany were the players for the first round.
Kurt finished first.
Next round, Kurt’s uncle Julius, Harry, Justin, Blaine, Savannah’s aunt Lucinda, Kurt’s aunt Chrissi, Mike, and Tina played.
Blaine won round two. And of course while the others snapped in ‘darn it’s’ for losing, Puck was analyzing.
“Well well well, you two winners sure are good at SUCKING. I wonder why you guys managed that with such ease, Don’t you wonder why that is too, Sam?”
Sam just smirked devilishly.
“You know, as a matter of fact, that is a really good observation. Why DO they have such good ‘sucking’ ability? Don’t have practice do you BOYS??
Santana gave a greatly timed, “Wanky!” while Kurt and Blaine blushed a mad and very dark red.
Burt however turned away looking quite green.
………………………………………………………………………..
The party was coming to an end and with it, Savannah’s energy was getting tired. She was half laying on a couch in Finn’s arms, looking almost asleep, hand on her large stomach. Though everyone thought she was just tired and drained from the party, she was actually making herself look tired on purpose. In truth, she was fighting back discomfort. She didn’t want to ruin anyone’s fun by saying that her contractions were starting up again. They had blessedly stayed scarce for the majority of the party, and she wished it stayed that way. Unfortunately, they were back.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Finn whispered to her.
She just nodded, now with her eyes fully closed. “Yeah. Shh. Don’t talk about it. I don’t want Kurt or Blaine to know. They’ll just start worrying. And the party is almost over. They deserve to enjoy the rest of it. I’m fine. Just need to stay still for a while.”
Finn just nodded behind her, leaving a kiss in her hair.
“Kade in your back again?”
“Shhhh!!!!!!!” She said loudly this time, sitting up as well! “No one can know the names yet!” Savannah looked around to see everyone still mingling, and playing a shower game she opted out of. “If someone had heard that, I’d be shooting you!!!” She reprimanded.
Finn frowned. “Sorry……”
“Okay! Are we ready for the baby name game results?” Harry announced.
Everyone found a seat as Kurt and Blaine sat at a small table to look at everyone’s name guesses. They were excited. The names they had come up with, were perfect, and they were absolutely positive that no one would guess exactly correct.
“Savannah, you coming?” Kurt asked.
But Sav took a deep breath against her will as she got up, pressure in her stomach bothering her with the movement.
“What’s wrong are you okay? Are the babies-“
“Blaine! Chill!” She answered, coming to sit next to Kurt. Blaine dropped it for now, but would reproach her after they finished going through the names.
“Okay, here goes.” Kurt said picking up the first card. “Carla and Calvin, says Aunt Chrissi. Not even close auntie.”
Chrissi snapped her fingers. Blaine picked up the next card which was Kurt’s uncle Paul. “LeAnne and Leon.” He announced. “LeAnne is one we thought of. But didn’t make it to the finals.”
A bunch more name groups got the ‘really not even close’ comment because they didn’t even start with the same letter; Zachary and Carrie, Christian and Najelly, Damon and Rosa.
Then they read the less unlikely, but still wrong names; Tanya and Tyler, Kathy and Kevin, Adelaide and Avery, at which point little Avery was excited that his name was guessed. Carlos and Cassandra, and Daniel and Danielle.
“Jacklyn and Joseph?” Savannah asked, looking at her aunt Deb’s card. “Tia? Those are your kids’ names.” She laughed.
“Grace and Sage!” Blaine exclaimed at Harry’s guesses. “Beautiful! But, I would never name a little boy Sage. It’s too girly. Now if it was two girls, that’d be perfect.”
Blaine picked another. “Kabannah, and Savlaint?...... What?!” He asked, super confused.
Sam piped up. ”It’s all three of your names in one see? K for Kurt, B for Blaine, and vannah for Savannah. Then Sav for Savannah, and Lain for Blaine, and T for Kurt.”
Everyone in the room looked at Sam like he was Psychotic.
“Oh come on! It’d be so awesome!” he tried to defend.
But no……. Everyone thought.
Except Burt, who had guessed similarly, or at least had the same idea.
“Really?” Savannah asked, looking at Kurt’s dad. “Burt, and Kalaine? Burt and Kalaine, Burt?”
Burt shrugged. “Honestly, it was a thought. Those two using a combo of their own names since you got to have them inside of you for nine months.”
All three of them shook their heads.
Just….. wow.
Pucks card was completely HILARIOUS. He was trying to cheat. “Seriously Noah?” Kurt said reading all 4 names written in. “Allyssa or Amanda and Avery or Alex?”
“That’s my name again!!!” Kurt’s little cousin Avery said excitedly.
“Noah! That’s totally cheating. But no. All wrong.” Blaine said.
“Crap!” Puck called.
“Marissa and Michael.” Blaine announced.
Savannah smiled, knowing that was her moms’ card. Her mom knew about her wanting her kid’s names to start with M. But she knew the names! She wasn’t allowed to play! Haha.
They didn’t voice to her that she was wrong. They just shook their heads no with sly smiles.
The next card, brought Blaine and Kurt to sweet, and blushing smiles. Kurt may have had a tear in his eye. “Elizabeth and Everett.”
Kurt’s mother’s name, and Blaine’s father. “The sentiment is perfect Carole.” Blaine said, putting the card to a different pile than the other ‘no’s’. That card had to get a prize. Even though the names weren’t close to the real ones. “That one is a prize worthy one, even if they’re not right either.”
“The third closest names were Aayden and Braylinn. Which was Tina’s guess.” Tina winked.
“The second closest is was Hunter’s guess. Mikhail, and Mickayla.” Blaine said. Hunter smiled.
“And the complete closest was Mercedes, who guessed Cailyn, for a girl and Cayden for a boy.” Kurt told his fierce friend who struck a pose.
Savannah’s dad at that moment came out with a big box, and set it on the table in front of the three parents.
“Though Mercedes got the closest names, she had it backwards, and was missing just a few letters.”
Harry took the cover off of the cake, and everyone looked at it to see, in scripted frosting:
Celebrating the Twins! Baby Mackaidyn and Mackaylen!
Oohs, and ahh’s, smiles and nods, escaped everyone.
“Kayle for the baby boy. And it means Faithful and Strong. Kaidyn, because it goes perfectly with Kayle. But there is no real meaning to the name, so ‘Kay’ means Pure and ‘Aiden’ means little Fire. So we compiled the two. Pure little fire.” Savannah explained.
“Which I have a feeling she will be.” Burt said.
“They both will. Completely spoiled, already. And they’re not even born yet.” Carole added.
“Last game of the night. Baby bingo. Savannah and Dads. Time to open presents once everyone has a slice of cake!!”
Harry started to cut the cake, and hand out pieces to everyone while Janah passed out baby bingo chips to go with the cards everyone got. When everyone had their plates of cake, they dispersed around the room to play bingo while the parents’ went to the gift table to open gifts. Except Savannah, who was trying to be subtle, and breathe without anyone noticing. Another contraction had crept on her.
Kurt and Blaine went happily to the long table to get started, but Savannah made her way slowly trying to ignore the contraction that had started about 30 seconds ago. Nothing to worry about. The last one was like 18 minutes ago. She and Kurt had finished the what to expect book last week while he and Blaine took turns rubbing her back in between Braxton hicks. She knew she had nothing to worry about until they were 8-9 minutes apart or so. But that didn’t mean the boys wouldn’t worry.
“Honey?” Janah asked upon realizing that her daughter was lagging with reason. “Baby? Are you having contractions?”
Savannah exhaled clutching her belly with one hand, and one hand leaning on the couch. “I’m okay.”
The guests all looked at Savannah, the kids thinking she was about to have her babies right here, the adults wondering if the party was about to be cut short. Blaine walked to her side and put his hands on her stomach. A few of the guests quickly snapped pictures. It was cute.
“Oh my god! Is it time?” Kurt asked, an even mix between excitement and terror on his face.
“No Kurt. Relax.” Janah assured him and turned back to her daughter. “Let’s get you sitting. Those babies aren’t done cooking yet. It’ll pass.”
Savvy did really well staying focused on being calm and not whining through the pain as Kurt and Blaine opened gifts around her. Savannah read all of the cards that came with the gifts.
They got a lot of gifts, almost as much as they got compared to Blaine’s family shower, but smaller items, and it was a lot of several items from one person, and in one gift bag, or one box.
2 swaddler cocoons, a pack of 6 playtex drop in bottles, and a can of formula.
4 multicolored fleece baby blankets, with a 20 dollar babies R us Gift card.
Savannah’s best friend Marianne made a cute baby blanket for the baby boy, and with it was a pack of 6 month onesies, and 3 baby boy outfits.
Having already gotten them all 2 cribs for their main nursery, Harry and Janah had gotten a 2 bassinets for Savannahs room, a bunch of 0-3 month clothes, and 3-6 month clothes. 60% boy.
1 box of diapers came with the diaper tower from Savannah’s aunt Lucinda.
Burt and Carole gave a joint gift. A large bin with a bow on it. In it, there was a variety of baby wipes, receiving blankets, diaper crèmes, baby oil’s, pacifiers, baby lotions, baby wash’s, baby wash towels, little booties, 2 hats, one purple, one green, and a small pack of disposable water proof pads.
“Trust me, you’ll want to put one of those under your own bed sheets for those nights they won’t sleep in their own crib. They’ll save you the constant smell of urine that NEVER comes out from your son leaking during the night!” Carole said, glaring at her son Finn.
Everyone laughed.
2 diaper bags, one that was more purse like, and one that was more dufflebag like.
“You’re not gonna wanna carry around a girly one. Beth helped pick them out.” Puck said to Blaine with a prided smile.
There were little hand mits, for face scratching protection, and more booties.
Kurt’s aunt Chrissi who is a nurse, put together a care package for them as well, but in a square basket, and full of very different items than Burt and Carole’s. There was infants Tylenol, a 100 percent safe baby sling, baby Medical supplies such as, (rectal and ear thermometer, medicine dropper, baby nail clippers, suction bulb, and Mylicon gas drops) Vasaline, baby oil, and q tips and cotton balls.
Tina got a diaper genie, Mike bought 2 hoody towels, a pink elephant and a brown monkey.
Kurt’s uncle Paul and Aunt Chrissi together got them a double stroller.
They were gotten a bottle rack, a bottle brush, 3 sets of crib sheets, a soft baby brush and comb, a blue boppy, a pink boppy, many assorted bibs, 2 nappy blankies, a travel baby changing pad to go in a diaper bag, and several baby books.
A third care package came from Mercedes and her mom. This one contained, baby powder, baby oil, cotton balls, little beanbag looking things. (booboo bags), baby shoes, teething toys, and a few baby outfits.
Savannah’s Uncle Tim got 2 crib mobiles, and a music box, and her aunt Crystal got Savannah a gift certificate for a full spa day of relaxation and serenity after the babies are born.
There were a few gifts that were just for Savannah, and a few gag gifts for the dads. For Sav, she got 4 nursing bra’s, a new robe, slippers and a gown for the hospital, and a twins nursing pillow. She was ecstatic with all of the gifts today!!
The boys received a visa gift card with 70 bucks on it, and 3 funny gifts. A coffee pot, Aspirin, with a ‘you’re gonna need it” note, and a box of condoms, with a, ‘use these next time!!’ note.
“Hahahahaha!!!!” Kurt and Blaine burst out laughing at their gag gifts.
As did everyone else.
Overall, the baby shower was a complete success. All of the prizes were distributed during the bingo game, as everyone had a bingo card, and there were only three cards copied and distributed randomly. There were bound to be several winners.
Not surprisingly, Mike won the guessing of Savannah’s tummy at 42 inches. He was excited to win that. “It’s simple logic and math.” He smiled with pride.
For the bottle candies, no one guessed even remotely close to the real number. There were 4 hundred and 74 candies in it. Everyone guessed either way too low, or way too high. And all of them random. But guess who won with his guess of 500?
“PUCKASAURUS BABY! WHOO!!!”
Everyone laughed.
He happily took his 20 dollar gift card, and bottle full of candy, and told everyone to SUCK IT!
The baby shower was an absolute blast. No one could’ve had more fun, and it was definitely the perfect way to celebrate the soon coming birth of Kurt, Blaine, and Savannah’s twins.
And they were indeed coming VERY soon. Savannah went to bed that night after an hour long bath which during it, she had 4 contractions and even called Kurt and cried for him to come over. The babies were coming, and they were coming VERY VERY SOON.
