Kurt poured the brownie batter into the pan and set the bowl down, "Are you coming tonight?"

Santana reached over and used her finger to swipe the bowl, "Of course I am coming and seeing the kid sing." She licked her chocolate covered finger, "Now why are you making these?"

"Cassidy's school has a bake sale during their concerts and I volunteered," Kurt smiled over at her. He picked up the pan and placed it in the oven.

"So you like doing this stuff?" Santana asked him.

Kurt's face scrunched, "What stuff?"

"You know, parent like stuff," Santana said to him gesturing around the apartment.

Kurt looked over at Santana, "Don't tell me Santana Lopez is going down the route of wanting to settle down?"

Santana groaned, "That is why I didn't have to Berry with this," she started to stand up.

"No no," Kurt grabbed her arm and sat her back down. "Talk to me. What is it?"

"Look, you were sort of thrown into this and I just wondered if you ever regret it?" Santana asked him.

Kurt pulled the other stool closer to Santana and sat down. "First, I was not thrown into this. I chose to be part of Blaine and Cassidy's life. And second, I never regret a moment with those two, especially not with Blaine. He is the love of my life."

"Should have known you would say that," Santana said playing with the edge of one of the dish towels, "How did you know?"

"I just did," Kurt shrugged, "It's this feeling, and I can't explain it. When Blaine and I told each other I love you for the first time it was amazing and I just found myself saying it to him for the rest of my life."

Santana hummed and seemed a bit distant now with the conversation.

"What happened?" Kurt asked her, "There is a reason you came to New York early."

"I was dating this girl," Santana said, "And she had a kid. He was nice and everything, I met him a few times, but I just didn't see myself like that."

Kurt nodded his head, "Hold on," he walked over and grabbed a tub of cookies from the counter. He opened the tub and sat back down, "Eat and listen to me."

"Fine," Santana said taking a cookie, which happened to be chocolate chip.

"Not everyone is meant to be a parent, especially if they don't feel it," Kurt said to her, "I mean to tell you the truth, it wasn't until I was older that I wanted kids. When I was in middle school I thought they were yucky and why would you want them around all of the time? But you know what happened to me?" Kurt asked her.

"You fell in love," Santana answered his question.

Kurt laughed and nodded, "I did. I don't think you can necessarily make a decision like that on your. I mean I am not knocking single moms and dads, because they are amazing. Look at my dad, but sometimes that's the push people need. It's the push I need and it may be the push you need. But then again it might not."

Santana reached for another cookie, "I have a feeling I'm going to gain at least ten pounds while I'm here."

"Just think about what I said," Kurt touched her hand.

"I will," Santana smiled at him, "I promise."

The door opened with Blaine and Cassidy shuffling in, "Guess what happened today Kurt!"

"What could have happened?" Kurt tapped his chin.

Cassidy giggled, "I got a solo at the concert tonight!"

"You did?" Kurt picked her up to hug her and spun around in a circle. "That's wonderful." The timer let out a ding. "Oh, that's the brownies," he set Cassidy down and walked over to the oven to take out the brownies.

Blaine walked into the kitchen, "Hey," he kissed Kurt quickly avoiding the hot pan, "I got everything else we needed from the list we made." He set the bags on the counter.

"Blaine," Kurt looked around, "Where are the potatoes?"

Cassidy held them up, "I have them, see no potato shortage," she giggled.

"Glad your sister is finding joy in my freak outs," Kurt rolled his eyes as he started to put away the groceries. "So tell me Sissy how did you get a solo?"

"Tiffany got the flu," Cassidy said, "She lost her entire breakfast and lunch on the stage while we were practicing. I told her she didn't look good, but she said the show must go on."

Kurt looked over and Blaine who gave a shrug, "Sounds like a mini Rachel Berry. Well I suppose that's good news for you. Just don't come down with the flu now."

"I won't," Cassidy shook her head, "I was one of the people that filed us out of the room after she got sick. I'm a pro at that."

"Good to know," Kurt laughed at the little girl.

"So since Mama and Papa Hummel are coming does this mean Finn is coming too?" Santana asked them.

Blaine nodded, "I hope him and Rachel don't get into anything."

"I warned her," Kurt said, "She said they would be civil. I'm not exactly sure what she meant since they haven't talked in months, but I threatened them both with no food."

Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt, "I knew my husband to be would be the perfect host."

"So this wedding is going to be during this upcoming summer or the next?" Santana asked them tapping her fingers on the counter.

"How do you know about that?" Kurt asked her lifting an eyebrow.

Santana smiled her smile when she knew something no one else did, "The hall called you two wanted to have your reception at. I'm surprised you two are keeping this secret for so long." Cassidy sat beside her and she handed her a cookie.

"It isn't a secret," Blaine said taking a bag Kurt handed him, "We just are not choosing to let people know until Christmas."

"Right, when are they coming?" Santana asked brushing her hands of crumbs.

"December twenty first," Cassidy smiled taking a bite of cookie, "I can't wait!"

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Blaine warned her and turned back to Santana, "And yes, they are getting a hotel. They said it would be easier for everyone."

"I see," Santana said, "Now then on to other news, I think I'm going to stay in New York for awhile."

"Really?" Cassidy asked excitedly.

"Yeah," Santana nodded her head, "I mean I can get a job somewhere and then I can find an apartment with someone. I don't want to be sleeping on your couch all the time."

"It's open for as long as you need it," Kurt said to her.

Santana knew he was talking about their earlier conversation, "Thank you."

Kurt looked at the batch of brownies, "I need to cut these and then we can eat dinner."

"Pizza?" Blaine asked him.

"That's what I was thinking," Kurt said licking his thumb of the chocolate brownie batter after he picked up the bowl.

Blaine smiled, "Hey hold on," he said stopping Kurt.

"What is it?" Kurt asked, "Do have something on my face?"

"Yes you do," Blaine said, he dipped his finger in the bowl and rubbed it on Kurt's cheek. He leaned over to lick it off. Kurt let out a laugh.

Santana and Cassidy both looked at each other, "Eww."

Blaine rolled his eyes, "Does Cipriano's East sound good?"

Cassidy jumped up on the stool, "Pizza and solo today, this is such a great day!"
