They’d been awake for almost an hour now, ever since Blaine had sleepily turned the alarm off, grumbling to himself and collapsing back on the bed, waking Kurt up.
“Blaine?” he’d asked, his voice thick with sleep.
“Shh.” Blaine mumbled, snuggling into his side.
“What time is it?”
“Too early. And it’s the weekend. Go back to sleep.”
“Mmm.” Kurt mumbled, and they’d lapsed back into a drowsy silence.
Neither of them had managed to go back to sleep. Instead, they started talking quietly as they cuddled into each other, yawning every now and then.
“I wonder if Tracy’s awake yet.” Kurt whispered.
Blaine glanced at the clock again.
“Doubt it. It’s only eight, and she was up until midnight last night…”
“Knock knock!” Tracy called happily. “You’re both dressed right? I can come in?” she checked.
“Yes, we’re dressed.” Blaine called back, smirking as Kurt blushed.
“Just checking.” She grinned as she bounced through the door. “Did I fall asleep on you ag- ow.”
Kurt sat up abruptly.
“What is it? Are you okay?” he asked as she sat on the edge of the bed, one hand rubbing at her stomach.
“Yeah, the baby’s just kicking the crap out of me.” She winced.
Kurt and Blaine exchanged glances, moving Tracy up the bed until she rested against the pillows between them.
“Can we feel?” Blaine asked.
Tracy rolled her eyes.
“Of course. It is your baby you know, you don’t have to ask for my permission all the time.”
“We’re being polite.” Kurt said defensively.
Tracy grabbed Kurt’s hands, hitching her shirt up and placing them on her stomach, sticking her tongue out at him.
“How’d your ultrasound appointment go?” Blaine asked, having cuddled up to her other side, idly petting her stomach. “I’m sorry we couldn’t come with you this week…”
“It was fine. Your baby is growing perfectly, I have another picture for you, and I found out the sex.” Tracy grinned.
“Don’t tell me!” Kurt insisted, eyes wide. “I want it to be a surprise.”
“You sure?” Tracy teased, and Kurt nodded furiously.
“Don’t even tell Blaine. He can’t keep a secret.”
“Hey!” Blaine protested, but both Kurt and Tracy ignored him.
“Promise.” Kurt demanded.
“Okay, I won’t tell. Promise.” Tracy said solemnly, and they grinned at each other.
“You hungry?” Kurt asked, stretching lazily.
“Always.” Tracy crawled past him out of the bed, following Kurt to the kitchen. “This little girl eats all the time, I swear…” she said happily, patting her stomach affectionately.
Kurt turned to her, a stunned expression on his face.
“Girl?” he asked, half nervous and half scared.
“Whoops?”
