Kurt looked at his daughters sleeping form. He smiled. She was so relaxed, so peaceful. She was sleeping a lot better, now that they bought her another bear, that was close to identical to her first bear (“Mr. Bear II” they called him). Kurt treasured the moments where he got to watch her sleep.

Everything was cleared up in the living room; neat and tidy, all ready for Miss. Hannigan to visit the next day. Everything sorted, paperwork signed etc. All they needed was the final papers that Miss. Hannigan was bringing over. Only problem was-

Kurt and Blaine hadn’t talked yet.

“Hey.” said Blaine, walking up to Lizzy’s crib and standing next to Kurt.

“Hey.” Kurt replied, not talking his eyes off the snoring baby.

“She looks so peaceful.” Blaine commented, dreamily.

Kurt nodded, “She does. She‘s beautiful.”

They could both feel the floating tension that came with the undiscussed topics; it was just a matter of who was going to bring it up first. Fear pooling in both of their stomachs.

Blaine smiled sadly, “Kurt,” he sighed “we need to talk.”

Kurt squeezed his eyes shut; no good can ever come with that sentence. “Is this about Lizzy?” he asked, calmly.

Blaine nodded “Yes.”

“Come on.” said Kurt, taking a hold of Blaines hand, and guiding Blaine to his room.

They sat on the edge of the bed. The tense silence making the weight in both their chest even heavier. They both knew what needed to be said. They both knew what could be done about the whole situation. But neither knew what would actually happen. Part of them didn’t want to know; didn’t want to be the one to bring it up; didn’t want to ruin their unusual little family.

Kurt took a deep, calming breath, and willed courage to come. “Do you want to go first? Or should I?”

“You can go first.” he said shakily.

“Okay, erm…” Kurt decided to start at the beginning “That day you suggested we have a baby together, that shocked me! I didn‘t know what to think. But, at the same time, I felt relieved. Relieved, because I didn‘t have to search for a perfect guy, I didn‘t have to wait for another person to be as ready as I was to have a baby. And-” Kurt’s throat started to close up, as he tried not to cry “-what made the idea even more wonderful was t-that y-y-you‘re my b-best-friend!” Kurt broke off stuttering as some tears started to fall from his eyes. “I‘m sorry.” he said, wiping his eyes with his hands.

“Don‘t be sorry, come here.” Blaine pulled Kurt to his side, rubbing his back as Kurt rested his head on his shoulder. “My turn.” he said, resting his chin on the top of Kurt’s head. “Kurt, I was drunk when I said that we should have a baby together. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking!” Blaine felt Kurt tense slightly when he said that, “But, after I said it, and the more I thought about it in my drunken state of mind, the more it made sense! ‘We are best-friends! We both want a baby! What‘s the harm?’ I never realised how much I would grow to love the idea, never mind actually going through with it.” he laughed lightly, a couple tears escaping his own eyes, as Kurt relaxed a little.

“Kurt,” Blaine continued, “Do you remember what I said to you when we got the surprising call from Alice Hannigan?”

“Yeah,” Kurt sniffed, “You asked me whether we should cancel or not.”

Blaine nodded, “I did, and I was so nervous, Kurt, I fully expected you to- to tell us to cancel the appointment.” he paused, “But you didn‘t. You told us to go for it. You are the reason that little girl is asleep in that living room and-” more tears fell, “I can‘t thank you enough for that, Kurt. Being a father with you is the best experience I’ve had in all my life! Just- seeing you, how happy she makes you makes me happy too. But-” Blaine coughed, clearing his throat, “I don‘t know what‘s going to happen tomorrow!” he admitted.

Kurt pulled out of Blaines embrace, “Blaine, I have to ask you something, and I want you to be honest with me…”

“Okay.”

“What did Kate say to you that day she visited? When you came back from walking her to the car you seemed…distant.”

“S-she,” Blaine stammered “she kind of freaked out. Told me, again, how unusual our whole thing was. She basically asked me what would happen to Lizzy when one of us found love. When she asked me that, I didn‘t know the answer and it- scared me, Kurt. I didn‘t know the answer, and I spent the rest of that day panicking, and trying to think of responsible scenarios where it would cause everyone less pain. But, I couldn’t think of way where no one got hurt.”

Kurt nodded, “You remember when we went to my dads house, and he wanted to talk to me after dinner?” Blaine nodded, “When I was in there, he more or less said the same thing; if one of us find love and move out of here, does Lizzy go with them, or stay here? I was stumped. I couldn‘t believe I didn‘t think of that. I thought about how much me and you loved Lizzy, and I didn‘t want to give her up.” Kurt sobbed, “Eventually, I made my way to the living room -I was going to talk to you then- but, I heard you and Wes through the door.” Kurt gulped, “I heard you call yourself daddy. I panicked, and went back into the kitchen. Then I realised I-I-” Kurt cleared his throat “I was a daddy, too. It was like a switch. We‘re daddies Blaine. Daddies!” Kurt smiled, looking into Blaines eyes.

Blaine smiled back, “I know, Kurt!” diving in for another hug.

They held each other for a small moment, before Kurt gently broke the embrace “But, we‘re not together. And if we adopt Lizzy, how confusing will that be?! When she‘s growing up? When we‘re growing old? When we find love? I don‘t know how it will work out.” Kurt squeezed his eyes shut, and forced his next sentence out, “I- I don't want to give her back, but it seems to be the only solution to save her and us from future confusion and pain!”

Silence.

Kurt and Blaine both stared at the floor, absorbing everything that has been said in the last few minutes. They had seemed to have gone through everything, but still managing to avoid everything else! The important subject that desperately needed to be approached, but they both hesitated to state. But for what? Fear of rejection? Fear of loneliness? Pain?

Whatever it was piled even more tension onto their shoulders.

Blaine pressed his lips together, balling his fists up, as he tried so desperately to gain the courage to say that one sentence that could possibly solve everything. One sentence, one question, that needed to be said.

“What if we got together?” it was so quiet, Kurt almost didn’t here it

“Huh?” he said, almost hopefully, looking up at Blaine.

“W-what if-” he stuttered even louder “we…got together?” Blaine looked at Kurt, unsurely “A- as boyfriends?”

Kurt’s heart rose in his chest. Hope floating in his stomach. Did Blaine want to be with him? Romantically? But that thought was quickly over-shadowed with a woeful thought of, He’s just asking so we can keep Lizzy without a guilty conscience…

Regretfully, Kurt shook his head. Blaine felt his heart stop, I wish I never brought it up… he thought, looking down again.

“Blaine,” Kurt sighed, “I don’t want to get into a relationship just for Lizzy‘s sake, those types of relationships never work out.” Another tear escaped Kurts eye.

Blaine’s head shot up in realisation, Kurt wasn’t rejecting him. He was rejecting the idea of a safety relationship.

“Kurt, I don‘t want one of those relationships either,” Blaine blurted, “…I-” he hesitated, “I want you.” he looked away, as if ready for rejection.

Kurt gasped as his heart leapt “What?” he asked, pleadingly.

Blaine bit his lip, turning back to face him. There was no point in taking it back now. “I want to be with you, Kurt.” he repeated, firmly “You just- you move me in a way- in a way I really can‘t explain. Seeing that spark you have with Lizzy, how good you are with her; you‘ve never looked so beautiful. And since we got her, you‘ve had that spark in your eyes and-” They locked eyes, “-and I‘ve been…afraid to admit it, sometimes even to myself, that-” Blaine moved closer to Kurt and placed his hand over Kurts. “I like you, as more than just a friend…” he broke eye contact. “I don‘t know about love, but, I feel like I could love you.”

“R-really?” Kurt smiled, breathing hard. Butterflies fluttering rapidly in his stomach.

Blaine nodded, still staring at the bed “I’m sorry. I understand if you don’t feel the same way...but I thought you deserved to know, that’s how I feel.”

“Don‘t apologize! Blaine,” Kurt put a finger underneath Blaines chin and lifted his head until Blaine looked at him, “I‘ve felt the same way since high school!” Kurt admitted, smiling.

“Really?” Blaine asked, shocked, before breaking out into a smile, “Why didn‘t you tell me?!”

“…I guess it never came up…” Kurt joked, rubbing the back of his neck. Smiling, blush high on his cheeks.

Blaine laughed, wiping the tear stains off his cheeks, “Do you want to try getting together?”

Kurt nodded numerously, before pausing, smile dropping from his lips. He looked down, unconfidently. “W-what if we break up?” he asked in a small voice.

Blaine thought for a second. He smiled, placing a hand on Kurts cheek and tilting his head up. Their faces, barely an inch away from each other. Kurt stared into Blaines confident, sparkling hazel eyes, feeling his heart beat faster.

“What if we don‘t?” he whispered, his hot breath teasing Kurt’s lips as he finally closed the space between them.

Kurt gasped into the kiss, his eyes closing as he eagerly returning it with a sensual, slow passion. Mutually, they parted, breathing heavily. Blaine chuckled, Kurt smiled, as they dove back in for another kiss. Kurts hands landed in Blaines hair, and around his waste. Blaines hands were on Kurts cheek and shoulder.

Kurt moaned as Blaine deepened the kiss, his tongue traced his lips. He put his hand on Blaines chest and pulled away.

“Is this a dream?” Kurt panted, causing Blaine to laugh.

“God, I hope not!” Blaine smashed their lips together once more.

“Oh. My. God.” Blaine groaned lying on his back onto the bed and breathing heavily. “Oh, my god!” he repeated.

Kurt chuckled, sliding up next to Blaine and cuddling into his side, his head resting on Blaine’s sweaty chest, “That was amazing.” he breathed, angling his head to kiss Blaine’s neck.

“Yeah, it was.” Blaine said, his heart rate returning to normal. He raised an eyebrow, “How the hell did you manage to do that thing with your-”

“Shhhh.” Kurt shushed, hovering over Blaine and silencing him with a gentle kiss, “That would be telling.” he whispered, kissing him again. Blaine put his hand on the back of Kurt’s neck, deepening the kiss. Kurt broke the kiss, snuggling back into Blaine’s side.

They lay together in a comfortable silence, Blaine gently stroked Kurt’s back while Kurt gently drew shapes onto Blaine’s chest with his fingers.

“You do realize that are friendship is now effectively ruined.” Kurt said, causing Blaine to laugh.

“Well then,” Blaine said, flipping them over and pinning Kurt to the bed, “I guess there’s no harm in doing it again…” Blaine pressed their lips together.

Kurt laughed into the kiss, deepening it further. His giggle breaking off into a soft moan as Blaine placed hot kisses down his neck.
