"Hey baby, are you hungry?" Blaine asks., scooching up to Kurt on the bed. Kurt had finally gotten out of the hospital and Blaine was making sure he was eating enough for him and the baby.
"Yeah, a little, actually." Kurt says, rubbing his now large stomach. Kurt only had about three months left in the pregnancy, and he was glad. His ancles were always swollen, his stomach was huge, he had back pain all the time, although he didn't really have much morning sickness anymore.
"Ok, whatcha wanna eat?" Blaine asks. He had been trying his best to provide and keep Kurt comfortable.
"Umm, I'm not sure." Kurt says, pondering food ideas in his head.
"Any leftovers, anything out I can get you?" Blaine asks.
"How about a sandwhich?" Kurt asks, thinking about the stocked refridgerater.
"Yeah, of course baby, whatcha want on it?" Blaine asks.
"Hmm, how about mustard, ham, cheese, and pickles?" Kurt says.
"That doesn't sound that bad actually. Better than some of your other choices." Blaine laughs.
"I have cravings, mister." Kurt laughs, poking Blaine in the side.
"I know, I know. So, one ham and cheese and mustard and pickle sandwhich?" Blaine repeats.
"That's it. Thanks baby. I really do appreciate everything you've been doing for me." Kurt gives Blaine an appreiciative smile and a kiss on the lips.
"Oh you're welcome. Anything to keep you comfortable and happy." Blaine smiles.
"Thanks, baby. Oh, and hurry with the sandwhich, I wanted to talk to you about something." Kurt says.
"Oh, alright." Blaine says, exiting the room to fix his sandwhich.
As soon as Blaine exits the room, Kurt grabs his laptop, pulling up the link he had saved only a day before.
He sets his computer to the side, waiting for Blaine to arrive with the food.
Only moments later, does Blaine enter the room balancing two plates, both with a sandwhich on each and a water bottle.
"Here ye go." Blaine jokes, serving Kurt with a bow.
"Why thank you sire." Kurt laughs, playing along.
"Ok, so what did you want to talk about?" Blaine says, taking a bite out of his sandwhich.
"This." Kurt says, showing Blaine the article he had pulled up on his computer.
HOME LABOR
Best Decision for baby?
And there was whole article talking about having your baby at home, and water labor.
"Kurt, is this really what you want to do?" Blaine asks, handing him the computer back.
"I mean, it's better to have the baby naturally anyway, and this would be better and more relaxing to me than being hooked up to IV's at a hospital. We could use the basement, considering I'm the only one using it anyway and the baby's nursery is downstairs, anyway. Then it could be private for just me, you, and Shayna, considering she is my nurse/midwife." Kurt explains.
"If it would make you comfortable, than I'm all for it. But have you even asked Burt and Carole yet?" Blaine says.
"No, I was going to ask you first and then talk to them about it." Kurt states, taking another bite out of his sandwhich.
"Ok, baby. Anything that maks you comfortable while having this baby I'm okay for." Blaine smiles.
"Can you go get Carole and dad?" Kurt asks.
"Sure baby." Blaine says, exiting the room.
Pretty soon, Carole and Burt walk in, accompanied by Blaine.
"What is it, son?" asks Burt.
"Ok, I know this is alot to ask, but could I possibly have my baby, here? Like, at home?" Kurt asks.
"What?" Burt asks.
"Well, I mean, it's supposed to be more comfortable, and I really don't like needles and IV's, and it's better for the baby to not be under stress." Kurt says, looking to Carole.
"Kurt's right, sweetie, it is less stressful." Carole says, trying to help Kurt out.
"Well, I mean where?" Burt asks.
"Downstairs in the basement. Where it can be private. Just me, Blaine, and Shayna." Kurt replies.
"What do you think Blaine?" Burt asks.
"Me? I told Kurt, if it causes less stress and he's comfortable, it's all good with me." Blaine smiles.
"Well then, you better call Shayna and tell her." Burt smiles.
"Thanks dad." Kurt says, feeling genuinly happy.

:D CUUUUTTTEEEE!!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :)
I'm confused, how the hell is a boy supposed to give birth, especially a home birth?! I assumed it'd be a caesarian
Well, I'm not a doctor expert, but I know that boys in real life actually can't get pregnant and give birth. I understand this, but, for the purpose of the story, I had him have the baby naturally. I mean, many people who write and read m-pregs find it boring to just read a c-section and be done with it. I find m-pregs are more intresting and entertaining if they contain a natural birth.
AEEEE HOME BIRTH, GOOD FOR WOMEN I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MEN
