Chapter 31 – One Mistake, and two hearts

Blaine’s point of view

Kurt and I had literally been pacing in this room for about half an hour. We didn’t even say much. Things are so overwhelming, the fact that this was actually happening right now. Savannah is finally in active labor. The babies could be coming any time now. Could be in the next few hours, could be in the next few minutes, we just don’t know. And it’s extremely nerve-racking. Even worse, to have Savannah laying there just clutching a pillow laying sideways and still moaning in pain, I feel like I am the worst person in the world. Knowing that there’s nothing that I can do to help her. Knowing that I am the idiot that put her there. I feel like pulling my own hair out.

“Ow ow ow.” Savannah moaned. She was shifting, and turning in bed as much as possible with her large belly in the way.

”Oh! I came in just in time didn’t I?” Dr. Bailey said, coming into the room and walking over to Savannah. Relief washed over me seeing the doctor, and I sat down, suddenly feeling dead on my feet. I clasped my hands together and leaned my chin on my fists. Kurt surely felt the stress seeping out of me, and sat beside me, wrapping an arm around my back.

“How far apart are they now?”

I was frozen solid for a moment. All I could see was the tear in Savannah’s eye, her breaths ragged, and tired.

“Uhm, about 5 minutes.” Kurt answered. Thank God Kurt is here…..

“Ow…. Oh my god! OW!” Savannah almost yelled, but not quite.

She promised herself she wouldn’t yell. She said it’s too T.V. Too cliché, and obvious to scream, but she was really getting close to screaming. I guess television is an accurate portrayal of childbirth. Excruciating pain.

Kurt and Finn got here together only a few minutes after Savannah and I did, and Savannah forbid Finn from coming into the room. She refused to let him see her looking as terrible as she did in the pain she was in. Finn has been texting me every 5 minutes.

Is she okay?

How’s it going in there?

Are there babies yet?

Can I come in yet……?

I need to kiss her dude! Tell her it’s going to be okay!

Yeah….. Finn was starting to get on my nerves.

Savannah was whimpering now, tears streaming slowly down her face. If it’s this bad now, I can’t imagine her actually pushing the babies out….

“Savannah honey, just breathe through it okay? Now tell me how the pain is; is it stinging, burning, or pressure?”

Savannah tried to breathe steady, but they were just broken, and ragged, as if she had just finished a marathon. “It’s pain…. It’s just pain, and then it turns into pressure sometimes. I feel like I’m being repeatedly punched in the stomach.”

I feel like, I’M being repeatedly punched in the stomach….. This is horrible… I don’t know if I’m going to last in this room for hours knowing how horrible she feels, and being able to do nothing to help her…..

…………………………………….~~……………………………………………….

Within the first hour we were at the hospital, all of our parents arrived. Savannah was thankfully resting comfortably since my father made a very public stink about our insurance paying for a large, and private comfortable room, not a crappy cubicle. Despite how rude he was about it, I have to remember to thank him, because Savannah sleeping through the pain, instead of awake groaning in pain, is a nice change. I can think clearly now.

When we moved, despite the room’s larger size, it was still really crowded with the 9 of us in here.

And of course, leave it to my father to almost start a freaking war with his unwanted and very much not needed opinion when Kurt had first returned to the room with coffee for Janah and I.

“Who’s he?” He asked. Rudely.

Kurt approached him with a polite hand out. “I’m Kurt.”

But of course, my dad didn’t take it. He just turned to me. “Blaine, do you really think it’s appropriate to have your boyfriend here for your babies’ births? I mean, that’s, a little high school don’t you think?”

Everyone in the room rolled their eyes, and if I didn’t speak immediately, I could see in Burt’s face, that he was ready to say something…. Something that definitely would not be appropriate for a hospital room. Especially now that Savannah is sleeping, finally, and if ANYONE wakes her up besides the twins in her stomach, I will go apeshit!

“Dad, first of all, I am in high school! Second of all, Kurt is my boyfriend, and he is Savannahs best friend. But more importantly, he is co-parenting with Savannah and I, so his name will be on their birth certificates. So he has every right to be in here for the babies births.”

“Co-parenting? When exactly did you plan on telling your mother and I this?”

I sighed….. This is so not the time. “Dad, I didn’t tell you because it’s none of your business. And I knew you’d raise hell about it!”

My dad raised a finger pointed in my face. “Blaine, I did not buy that condo for you and Savannah to have you parading you two’s homo nonsense within its walls!”

I glanced briefly at Kurt to see how he was reacting to this, but he had a blank face on. Maybe a little anger showed there. Burt however, was not containing his anger.

“Excuse me! Watch it buddy! That’s my son!”

“Can we take this out into the waiting room? Because if ANY of you wake up my daughter, I will be the one raising hell.” Harry said coming between the three of us.

With a glare at me, and a shake of his head in disappointment he slowly started his way out of the room.

“Cheryl?” He called, but she was sitting beside Savannahs mom, next to her bed.

“Why don’t we ladies stay in with Savannah? I’ve told you Everett, Blaine is an adult, and his choices are his choices. I’m not with you in this matter. It’s not my choice.”

My dad was pretty pissed. Burt, Harry, and I followed my dad out of the room. I turned back to Kurt though first.

“I’m gonna stay. I have nothing to say to him that he hasn’t already heard from you.” I smiled. Kurt wasn’t going to let himself be bothered by my dad’s crap. And I’m so glad for that, because one of us has to ignore him, and unfortunately, it can’t be me. I kissed his lips a bit, and proceeded out to the waiting room.

Where apparently, the argument had started without me.

“Any problem you have with my son, you can bring to me.” Burt said.

“I have no problem with your son. It’s the matter of your son corrupting my son with this gay nonsense! He needs now more than ever to be a man, and having that fag in there with him, he’s not being one.”

“Call my son a fag again, I swear to god!” Burt started.

“Guys! Both of you stop!” Harry raised his voice a little. I walked right beside him now, making myself known to the three men.

Harry put his hand up in peace to both fathers, but he was directing his words at one. “Look. I will NOT have this kind of poison around my daughter. Period. She is going through a lot right now. Today, there are two babies coming. And those two babies have been loved by Kurt for months! And he is not going anywhere. Plain and simple. No one else in that room has any issue with him being there, or with Blaine and Kurt both being gay! And ultimately, it is not your choice who your son is with. And, it is not your choice who is in the room when the babies are born! It is Savannah’s choice, and she has DEMANDED, that Kurt be in the room with her.”

My dad looked disgusted, and angrier than I can even describe really.

“Now, you may agree with that or not, but the last thing my daughter needs- Hell, the last thing any of us need, is stress, so you will either keep your mouth shut, and your opinions to yourself, or you can leave!” Harry said. He had an extremely stern voice, but he was keeping his volume at a civilized tone due to there being people around.

It was quiet for a few moments, the 4 of us simply staring at each other.

“I just want to understand. Understand why you are doing this Blaine. You have two beautiful twins coming soon. A gorgeous girl having them for you. Probably today, and you have that boy with you. Why would you choose to be gay when you have all of that!?”

“Because being gay isn’t a choice.”

I was surprised to hear that it was Finn who had said it, coming up to us from a chair. He continued, “Do you know how much crap Kurt used to get at school for being gay? Why would someone choose to be treated like crap all the time! We’re born the way we are born! And Kurt and Blaine were born gay! It’s not rocket science.”

Let me just say. No longer irritated with Finn. I knew there was a reason for keeping him around.

“Besides.” He piped up again, “Savannah is mine. She may be having your sons babies, but she’s my girl, and sorry, but, Blaine can’t have her.”

I smiled. Preach Finn.

I do need her. I need her to have our kids, but Finn’s right. She was NEVER my girl, and she never would be. This whole situation came about from a mistake. One night, that we weren’t ourselves, so we did something we weren’t supposed to do, and got into a mess.  And though the mess is a soon to be miracle, Kurt would be the one kissing me at my side and the two of us would be kissing her cheek together. As friends, and co-parents. Not romantically. Because Kurt and I have each other, and Savannah has Finn.

That’s the way it works. The way it’s supposed to be.

………………………………~……………………………………~……………………………

“Okay, so do we have our final decision on who’s coming into the birth with you?” the doctor asked.

Savannah nodded, holding mine and Kurts’ hands in one of hers, and her mom’s hand in the other.

“Yeah. I need my mom for sure, and I want Kurt to be here because they’re his kids too so….”

And that was that.

We all got wheeled to the O.R, because it was time for Savannah to start pushing.

………………………………………………..………………………………………………

“I can’t, it hurts!!!!! OOOoooowww! I can’t…… Make it stop, make it stop!!!!!” Savannah cried. Doctor at her hips, and nurses surrounding her. Kurt was holding one of her legs back, and her mom was holding the other.

“Mommy! It hurts! Ooooooooowwwwww!”

I was slowly backing away from her on the bed. I can’t handle this….. I can’t handle it….. I can’t believe I did this….. She’ll never forgive me for this! What have I done?

A nurse walked toward me though as I think I started sliding down the wall.

“Dad?” she called. “Blaine, come with me okay. Come on.”

I was barely walking on my own though. She was guiding me a lot more than I was walking by choice. When we were completely out of the room, I kind of broke.

“I’m a terrible person. I can’t believe I did this to her…. I- She’s just in so much pain in there! I- I can’t be in there…. I want to just--- I can’t!” I panicked.

“Okay, Blaine. Blaine listen to me okay?” She soothed. “She is having your babies in there okay? She needs you. She needs you in there to coach her, and encourage her. She’s overwhelmed right now okay? Same as you. The only difference is, she is trying to push out a baby. She needs your help. You can’t let your guilt stop you from being there for her. Instead of feeling guilty, try helping her breathe. Help her stay calm and bring your babies into the world.”

I just shook my head though. How can I help her to be calm if I can’t even calm down?

“She probably doesn’t want me in there. I’m the jackass that hurt her so badly. I’m the reason she’s in this much pain…” I said guiltily.

The nurse rubbed my back though and was shaking her head. “You are also the reason that she is going to meet her two beautiful babies tonight. Trust me, she wants you there.”

I took a few deep breaths as the nurse told me to, and walked back into the room, where Savannahs legs were still up, and she was pushing, eyes squinted shut, everyone in the room counting to ten.

“8, 9, 10! Good Savannah, were getting there.”

She breathed, and let her head fall back, her eyes catching mine. “Blaine… I don’t want you to miss anything…”

I was surprised. “Don’t you want me to go to hell for doing this to you?”

Savannah just narrowed her eyes at me though. “No. I just want your skinny ass to be up here pushing two big curly headed babies our of your- Oooookkk…… Another one…… Oh god……”

“Ok Savannah honey, concentrate, you are FULLY dilated now. There’s a baby’s head right here. You’re gonna feel a lot of pressure.” And sure as he said it, Janah went down to her business to see, and I grabbed her other leg.

“Oh god…. I need to push… I need to push. Oooow!!!” She cried.

“Ok sweetie, you can push. Go ahead and push.” And so she pushed. And after only three 10 counts, what seemed like out of the blue, the room filled with cries.

“We have a baby boy!” Dr. Bailey announced, and the world spun. The room disappeared and all that came into focus was this baby. The baby boy. Covered in goop, and blood, and…. Gross, was a perfect little baby boy.

“Wow! He has some lungs on him.” Janah exclaimed, as the doctor placed baby Kaylen on Savannah’s stomach.

“Oh my god, he’s so little!” Kurt said, and he had a tear in his eye.

“Which daddy is cutting baby A’s cord?” Dr. Bailey asked, and Kurt stepped forward.

We decided earlier that I would cut the baby girl’s cord because it was so important to my dad, and Kurt would cut Kale’s. Kurt was just ecstatic to be afforded the chance to cut a cord at all.

“Don’t get the wrong one!” Janah snorted. Kurt rolled his eyes and cut between the clamp.

“Like I could possibly miss how little that thing is compared to this.”

…. Hey! Was that a crack about my little boy’s baby junk?

When the nurse placed the baby on Savannah’s chest, I felt the tear roll out of my own eye.

“Hi Kayle!” Savannah cooed at him, touching him everywhere, as nurses all wiped furiously at him with a towel/blanket thing. Savannah just smiled, and held him everywhere.

And my eyes were glued to him. He was still crying. His lungs really really must be perfect because he is screeching.

“Is he alright?” I asked, peering around the nurses trying to get a good look at him.

“He sounds great. 10 fingers, 10 toes, he’s a good color. Good job you guys, he’s beautiful!”

I walked closer and put a hand on his face. I poked his little nose, and seeing his whole little self up close, I fell in love. The most perfect little boy in the world.

“Hi little guy!” I said, smiling from ear to ear.

A nurse excused herself and moved between Kayle and I. “Can I grab him from you for just a second here, it’s chilly in here, and you have the most heat, so we’re gonna put him right on your chest here.”

“Okay.” Savannah said through a bright smile, with a now dry, and slightly quieter baby on her chest.

I grabbed his little hand, and he clasped my finger so tightly, I couldn’t let go. Not that I would ever want to.

“Hi Kayle….”

……………………………………..~~…………………………………..~~

All knowing Pov

Little baby Kayle was getting showered with kisses, and love, and cuddles for about 5 minutes, before Savannah started having contractions again.

“Ooh….. Not yet….. Ow…..” She whispered, trying to ignore the pain. Only wanting to tend to her still fussing new baby. She didn’t want to give him to some nurse, only wanted to hold him forever.

But, coming less than a minute apart, the doctor caught the start of the contractions on the fetal monitor.

“Ok hun, let the nurses take baby boy, and they’ll get him weighed and cleaned up. We need to check him out and his health and everything, and you need to have another baby alright?”

Savannah frowned. The idea of handing her new bundle of joy to someone else was sinful. But, the contractions were strong, and she didn’t want to risk yelling in the babies’ ear, and scaring him or something. She kissed his head, and reluctantly released him to the nurse. All three parents watched profusely as she took the baby to the other side of the room to be checked and everything.

Savannah could not take her eyes off of him.

And neither could Kurt or Blaine.

“You did so good baby!” Janah coached her daughter. “He’s beautiful honey. You did so good!”

Through some more intense pressure coming, and true burning in her pelvis, she hissed at the pain, feeling her baby’s head much too quickly, trying to find her way out. But still, She was completely unfocused. She was only struggling to see baby Kayle through nurses bodies.

His crying was the ONLY thing she could hear, and concentrate on.

“Is he alright?” She asked, panicking a little.

Blaine and Kurt were looking over nurses shoulders as well. Kayle’s crying seemed to get louder since the nurse took him, and it was extremely concerning.

"Hey Savannah. Look at me. Sweetie, I know that’s your baby over there, and he’s beautiful, but you have another one remember? Your baby girl, and she wants to come out too. We need your help.”

And at the words, Kurt and Blaine snapped out of it and looked back to the doctor. Oh, That’s right….Things aren’t finished yet, they thought.…..

“Mmph….. Is he gonna be okay?” Sav asked, still trying to breathe through her contraction, but not able take her eyes from her baby boy.

"Is he okay?" she asked again, still trying to see her baby between the nurses surrounding him across the room.

"He sounds just great honey. Strong lungs, he’s a good looking size. He looks just fine. Now come on sweetie, I need you to focus. You’re crowning."

Savannah leaned back and tried to focus.

“Savannah you can do this.” Blaine told her, hand in her hair.

“Oooow!!!! They’re worse now! AAAHHHH!!! Ow!” She yelled.

Loudly…. She’s louder with this 2nd baby.

"Oh god! I need to push...OOOOOWW...." Her pact with herself to not yell, was officially broken. The pain was unbearable.

“Come on sweetie! The head is out a little bit, keep pushing Savannah.”

But, she started to cry, and shake her head. "It hurts.....It hurts so bad…."

"You can do this." Blaine tried to assure her again; but she continued shaking her head.

“I can’t…I cant, I’m gonna die…..” She sobbed.

Remembering what the nurse told him earlier, he knew that he had to encourage her. "Savannah, you’re not going to die, I promise you can do this."

But she just sobbed. "I can’t...... Blaine, I can’t... It hurts....I can’t do it again….."

Blaine pep talked her majorly then. He wanted to meet his baby girl.

"Listen to me. Our baby girl is still in there and she needs you. She needs you to help her out and everyone wants to meet her. We’ve been waiting months for this."

"It hurts....." she cried.

Blaine nodded, and rubbed her belly, Kurt stroking her hair on the other side of her. "I know it hurts... but you have to get her out.... we have to rub it in my dads’ face remember?"

Savannah tried to laugh at that, but only a sob broke through as she sat up a bit, feeling more intense pressure.

"Ow..." she moaned. “Ow…..

"You can do this." Blaine whispered in finality.

She shook her head still, tears flowing harder.

"Savannah." Kurt said this time, and she looked at him. "We have all that baby girl stuff, and Kayle has been with her for 9 months. Do you hear him crying? He needs his twin sister and you are the only one who can put them back together.”

Savannah used the perfect words from Kurt to try and focus, and again, her baby’s cries were the only thing she heard stronger than the pain she felt.

“You are strong Savvy. You did it once, and you can do it again. You’re so strong. Don’t give up."

..............................................~~…………………............................

The words of encouragement from Kurt and Blaine together really kept Savannah on track with trying to get baby Kaidyn out.

"I need to push..... Oh god! I need to push now......" she repeats, and tries to hold on, as the doctor asked her to hold back for a moment.

“I can’t hold it anymore… I have to push….. Oooooow!” She gritted her teeth and squinted her eyes tight, pushing with all of her might. But nothing happened. She tried to catch her breath afterwards, and the doctor coached.

"Okay honey, take a deep breath and push again. It’s okay, you’re doing great!"

But with every push, the baby’s head would peek out a little bit, but then every few pushes, it would protrude back in. It was the worst possible pain imaginable.

And just when it seemed like the pain would never end…………….

"And, we have another baby!" the doctor called, suctioning the quiet baby’s lungs, causing her to let out a shrilling and loud cry.

Savannah fell backwards onto the bed, exhausted, and incapable of holding herself up any longer.

“You did great!” Kurt exclaimed, staring in awe at the baby.

"Is it a girl?” Blaine asked. Just in case.

The doctor layed the baby across Savannah’s still very swollen belly. "It is indeed a girl. Congratulations you guys. You have twins!!"

A nurse clamped the baby’s umbilical cord, and handed a pair of scissors to Blaine to cut the baby girls cord. He did so slowly, and with a smile that wouldn’t quit, and afterwards, he kissed her head. Just like with Mackaylen, they put the baby onto Savannahs bare chest, and vigorously wiped at her skin, cleaning the viscera as she wailed. Not quite as loudly as her brother had, but still, strong cries for something so small.

Savannah was never happier in her entire life.

Her babies were here.

It was hell, and more pain than she ever imagined feeling in her entire life, but it was worth it. Worth it to see both babies in the world, and hear both of their little voices. Worth it to see her mom crying at the sight of her grandchildren, worth it to see Blaine and Kurt smile like the sun and moon just graced the planet, and worth the immense feeling of love that she now felt for these two little souls.

Any and all pain was forgotten, with her babies faces now permanently imprinted on her heart.

Right now, Kurt had ahold of baby Kale, and Blaine and Savannah were fawning joyously over baby Kaidyn for the likely minute they had left before the doctors would take her. The both of them never wanted to let go of her.

Or course, the inevitable time struck a few minutes later when a nurse gestured for her. “I promise I will give her right back mommy. We just need to get her Apgar scores, and weight and everything. I’ll give her right back.”

Savannah didn’t want to let go, but Blaine said, "I'll go with her."

Savannah felt a little better then, and kissed her baby girls cheek, and handed her to the nurse. Knowing how much that tore at Sav’s heart, Kurt handed baby Kayle to his mommy, and she held him close to her chest, cooing to him, and talking sweetly as he sucked on air.

But not even a minute later, the nurse took Kayle too, and laid the babies side by side to weigh and check them out.

Finally beside each other again the babies silenced.

It was amazing to see.

Kurt was silently crying quiet tears, his eyes moving back and forth from both babies crying under the nurse’s touch, but more content than before, being beside each other. Blaine’s watchful eye on his daughter showed worry, and anxiety. Kurt stared at Kayle with worry and anxiety.

Savannah was simply speechless.

These two babies; and they all loved them already.

Mackaylen Sylvester Anderson 5 lbs, 3oz and

Mackaidyn Sariyah Anderson 4 lbs, 6 oz

……………………………………~~…………………………………………

The three parents quickly learned that the babies were both more content when they were near each other. Much more content.

“Makes sense. They have been practically on top of each other for the past nine months. I’d want to remain around my twin too if he was all I had known for the past almost year.” Kurt said, sitting beside Savannah, one of his fingers in baby Kayle’s death grip.

“Me too. They’re going to be inseparable, I can tell.” Blaine added, never letting his eyes leave his baby girls, and his thumb totally liquefied in her little mouth.

…. No but seriously, she wouldn’t give it back. She claimed that finger.

Savannah lay in between the two sitting fathers of her new babies, happier than words could describe.

“Kurt. I want to thank you. If you didn’t guilt trip me into getting Kaidyn out, I would have given up and I think she’d have still been in there. I needed someone to be hard on me. You were great.”

Kurt just smiled and kissed her head in response. “Any time.”

Savannah, still smiling, turned to Blaine. “And Blaine, I can never thank you enough for getting drunk and getting me pregnant. Our babies are perfect.”

Blaine could only nod his head in agreement, still completely in awe over the babies laying on her chest.

“Yeah. They are.” He kissed the baby’s head, and then Savannah’s cheek. “Thank you Sav. You really did an incredible job. They are beautiful, and perfect, and you did great. Thank you for having them. I think we made the right choice. I can’t imagine them not being here……”

In the first hour of the baby’s lives, they were visited, and passed around to so many hands, and fawned over by so many voices, they were surely getting overstimulated.

“Their skin is gorgeous! Already, they are coloring up!”

Blaine was really happy about that too. Mackaidyn definitely has more color. She had slight creamy light cocoa skin but looked a bit more Asian than her brother.

Mackaylen was a lot less tan, and looked like a little white boy.

Yet they looked almost identical still.

Both babies appeared to have grayish green eyes.

“That’s a recessive gene! They’re lucky babies! Green eyes.” Cheryl said.

Savannah smiled. Her favorite thing about her own appearance were her green eyes, so she hoped her babies would have them too.

"Hey Blaine! They have my straight hair!” Savannah said, and it was obvious she was little bummed. "Your worries are over."

Blaine just stared thankfully at the baby in his arms' head.

Cheryl spoke up then though. "Don’t speak so soon. Blaine’s was straight for a while when he was born too. I’m telling you now, it won’t last. It’s gonna curl up kids. Trust me."

Savannah and Kurt smiled then, because Kurt completely adores Blaines’ curls, and Savannah hates her boring straight hair.

“Yay.” Savannah whispered.

"You smile now, but wait until you have to brush it. Just wait!" Blaine said shaking his head. “Please don’t curl…. Please don’t curl….” He chanted to his baby girl’s hair.

Kurt rolled his eyes while the others in the room laughed.

Blaine shook his head. “I’m serious. The curls are not fun! They won’t be. Especially little Kayde’s here. Her hair, she has already got a lot of it. When it curls, it will not be fun!”

But no one was listening to Blaine. Nothing would be cuter than little tight curls.

Savannah still hadn’t fed the twins yet, because she was waiting for the lactation nurse to visit, and help her through it. She didn’t want to mess up anything, and the babies hadn’t seemed unhappy, or uncontrollably crying yet from hunger.

At least, not until Burt, Carole and Finn came in and then separated them, they started to get completely fussy. In Carole’s arms, Kayle was perfectly quiet and content. In Burt’s arms, Kaidyn was squirmy, but seemed happy. When Finn sat down to hold the baby boy, he started to cry almost immediately.

“Uh…. Okay, what did I do??... What- what am I doing wrong here….” Finn panicked. And he wasn’t the only one who was panicking. Savannah almost got up off of the bed to take her son back. But Burt beat him to it.

“He’s alright. He’s probably just hungry, and you smell like a cheeseburger!” He said, taking baby Kayle from his step son. “Huh big guy?”

Burt bounced him a bit, slowly calming the boy slowly, and Savannah sat back again, and relaxed.

“Sorry. I had to eat something, I was dying in that waiting room. And since I wasn’t allowed in here where anything exciting was happening!” Finn said.

Savannah just giggled and shook her head.

God how Finn had missed that giggle. He walked over to her, and kissed her passionately. He sat beside her as Kurt and Blaine had both gone over to Burt and Carole, making idiotic faces at their newborns.

“So, does this mean that I can officially ask you to be my girlfriend now?”

Savannah just opened her mouth wide in ridiculous shock.

“Are you serious right now? I just squeezed two over 4 pound babies out of my vagina, my hair looks like complete hell, I smell like an ocean of baby goo, I’m wearing nothing but a hospital gown, that might I add, is covered in baby juice, and you are asking me to be your girlfriend! Can you like, wait until I look pretty again?!”

Finn just smiled and kissed her again. “You look beautiful.” He kissed her, this time grabbing her face, and parting her lips with his own.

“Working on baby three already?!” Dr. Bailey asked, coming into the room, Janah, and Harry, and a lady in a pants suit behind her.

“They’d better not be!” Harry reprimanded, and Finn promptly stepped away.

“Hi sweetie. How are we all doing?” Dr. Bailey asked everyone in the room. Everyone expressed their joy and excitement over the babies.

“Ok, this is Glenda. She’s the nursing specialist for the hospital, she’s here to help you through your first breastfeeding. Those little guys have to be hungry by now.”

Everyone all smiled, because they definitely were. They’d both been suckling the air for the better part of the hour.

“We’ll come back a bit later and see you guys! They’re really beautiful Savannah. Congratulations!” Carole said, and Burt smiled along.

Cheryl did the same, and they all proceeded to the waiting room.

“Uhm. Finn. Yeah, hi. Beat it!” Harry told him.

“What? Why do I have to go?” Finn complained. Savannah just giggled.

Kurt was the one to answer. “Because she’s breastfeeding numb nuts! Let’s go!” And he dragged his brother up, and the both of them left the room.

Janah and Savannah laughed together now, Harry shaking his head annoyed, and the lactation nurse smiling at the hilarity of the scene before her. She pulled the chair Finn was previously in a bit further from Savannah’s bed, to start her spheal.

There was a lot to remember, and make sure of when breastfeeding.

-Stay relaxed and calm to keep milk flow going.

-Stay unstressed.

-have anything you might need within arm’s reach in your nursing area. A drink, burp cloths, a remote for TV, or radio to avoid boredom. Have plenty of pillows, blankets, and baby wipes handy.

With Savannahs twin nursing pillow she got at her second baby shower, the nurse taught her the football hold.

-Stay hydrated. Very important.

-It might be helpful to have a book nearby, breastfeeding can be time consuming.

-Light compressions on the breasts really can help with milk flow.

“While the babies are still small, rolled receiving blankets on their backs will help support them and keep them in place beside you. And, it’s good to have someone else with you when you’re nursing in case you need something, and can’t get to it without disrupting the babies feedings.”

“Burp one of the babies while the other nurses, and do this every few minutes. When they get squirmy, or seemingly uncomfortable while nursing, it means that they’re ready to burp. Whether they burp and then continue nursing, or start to nap, it varies.”

They learned that it’s important to switch the twins so that they each are familiar with each breast. After each burp, having the babies switch breasts will familiarize them, and more likely get them equal amounts of milk.

“Make sure you are comfortable while nursing, because then you can have a relaxing nursing session, and it can be a beautiful time to bond with your babies. If you aren’t comfortable, you may find nursing to be a drag, and you don’t want that.”

Savannah and Blaine both nodded at that. It had been very clear over the last few months that breastfeeding was best for babies, and not only that, but it was free.

“Fair warning for mom. It is beyond helpful to keep the babies nails trimmed. Because believe me, they will latch their hands to your breast skin, and it is not fun!”

They laughed, and Savannah stored that in her brain for sure. Being pinched sucks.

“Interact with your babies. Talk to them, make them comfortable hearing your voice. Thanking them for burping is great for them, and expressing frustration for maybe being spit up on is good too, because as they get older, they start to quicker understand praising voices, and upset voices. You will probably nurse approximately 45 minutes, and every three hours. But some babies are different, and it might turn into a very very different schedule.”

And that proved to be absolutely true, because Kayde was a complicated eater. She nurses half the time, only 23 minutes, and every hour and a half instead of every 3 hours.. While Kayle nursed the aforementioned time. Savannah was almost always nursing that first night.

Finally, with the early hours of the morning approaching, Savannah was fast asleep, the exhaustion finally taking over, and her body forced her to hand her babies to their dads, and pass out.

Kurt and Blaine were tired too, but not obviously, because they seemed wide awake, each holding a twin with matching smiles.

They just couldn’t stop looking at them.

"I never knew love could come so instantly, but- God… I love them so much Kurt..."

Kurt smiled alongside his boyfriend, feeling nothing but the same love and joy for the two hearts in their arms.

Kurt agreed as he and Blaine let their heads meet as they stood beside each other staring at their little bundles. “They really are perfect.” He said, as he kissed Kaidyn’s hair. “Thank god for that One Night.”
