Blaine adjusted Claire on his hip as he walked with Kurt through the halls of McKinley on their way to the day care centre. It was Blaine’s first day back at school after taking time off to look after Claire and all was well.
“Is this a happy family?” Santana asked hopefully as she walked up to the trio. Claire immediate reached for the Latina and Blaine happily handed her over. Taking Kurt’s hand and linking their fingers together, he silently told Santana that everything was back to normal “Thank God” she smiled and held onto Claire tight inspecting her bright pink cast “I thought I was going to have to organise a serious Glee-vention to get you two back together”
“Would it be the end of the world if the two of us broke up?” Kurt asked with a soft laugh as he remembered Emily threatening to kick Blaine’s ass if they didn’t make up
“Yes so please don’t ever do it”
“I agree” Blaine smiled and placed a soft kiss on his boyfriend’s cheek. He just wanted to put the accident behind him and look to the future. The three teenagers headed further down the hall to stop off at the lockers but once they stopped, Claire started to squirm.
“Papa” she insisted as she started to get too much for Santana. Turning to Blaine, Santana was ready to hand her over but Blaine held his hands up as if to say no.
“She doesn’t want me”
“Then who...”
“Come here baby girl” Kurt chuckled and took a now happy Claire into his arms. Santana’s jaw dropped to the floor before curling into a bright smile “New development”
“You three are going to turn me into a blubbering mess of mush if you’re not careful” she smiled and quickly pulled Blaine into a tight hug “You happy?” the Latina whispered into his ear before stepping away.
“More than ever before” he smiled and looked over to his boyfriend who was pushing one of Claire’s curls behind her ear. Oblivious to their conversation, Kurt grabbed his books from his locker while the little girl in his arms jabbered on about her teddy bear. “I proposed to him”
“You what?” Santana gasped loudly causing Kurt to pay attention and finally listen in to their conversation without turning around.
“I told him I would marry him one day. I intend to honour that promise”
“Alright stop before I really do cry”
“Who’s crying?” Kurt chuckled as he interrupted the conversation with a smile. Ridiculously happy, Kurt couldn’t wait to honour Blaine’s promise.
“No-one” the Latina smirked as she pulled her books from her locker. Hearing the bell for class echo through the halls, she shut her locker with a soft sigh “Better get to class Anderson before Figgins fails you for taking any more time off”
“She’s right” he sighed as Santana walked off with a smile and a wave. Reaching for Claire, Blaine wasn’t surprised when she wanted to stay in Kurt’s arms “What’s another couple minutes off class while we take her down?”
“I’ll take her” Kurt smiled as she hugged Claire a little tighter. Having that little girl in his life suddenly felt so normal like it was meant to happen all along. He couldn’t imagine a day without her or a future without seeing her grow up into a beautiful young woman “I’ve got a study period up first anyway, you go to class”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive”
“You know what to tell Amber about Claire’s cast and if she complains of pain?”
“Yes, dear” Kurt smirked and stepped closer to Blaine. The halls of McKinley were almost empty so a little PDA would go unnoticed. Pressing his lips against Blaine’s softly, Kurt closed his eyes and willed for time to just stop at this perfect moment. He reluctantly pulled away but not before getting in one last peck on Blaine’s red, swollen lips “I love you”
“I love you too”
