They only hit until you cry,
and after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore,
You just don't argue anymore,
You just don't argue any more.

"Since when did our lives turn into a frigging soap opera?"
Blaine chuckled, wrapping an arm around Kurt's waist as they watched doctors and nurses run past.
"Isn't that what happens every time the New Directions get together? There's always some sort of drama."
Kurt rolled his eyes, thinking about what Blaine said. He gasped when he realized it was true. "What the fuck? We're all really really messed up."
Blaine laughed, thinking about the drama that had just unfolded in his apartment.
As soon as Rachel announced that her water had broken, the New Directions began running around like headless chickens. Finn looked like he might faint at any moment (Kurt made sure to pack some cookies in case he did), Mercedes was at Rachel's side trying to tend to any need she might have, Santana was in the corner trying to 'stay as far away from the demon baby as possible', and Brittany was staring at Rachel with a confused look on her face. It wasn't until they were just leaving for the hospital that Kurt found out why. Brittany had leant over towards Kurt, confusion written all over her face.
"Why is Rachel going to the hospital if she wet herself?"
Kurt and Blaine both smothered giggles, before pulling her into a three-person hug.
"Boo, she didn't wet herself. It means that the baby is coming."
As the rest of New Directions piled into various cabs, Kurt and Blaine decided to stay behind to clean up Rachel's… mess, as they liked to call it. Kurt grabbed a mop and set to cleaning Blaine's floor as Blaine picked up various cups. They worked in a comfortable silence until the apartment was clean, and Kurt walked over to Blaine, wrapping his arms around his waist from behind.
"Everything's clean. Are you ready to go?"
Blaine spun round, placing a soft kiss on Kurt's lips.
"Sure. Remind me, when we have kids, not to let the surrogate stay in our apartment. Never again do I want to see someone's water break."
Kurt looked at his boyfriend in surprise. "When we have kids?"
Blaine blushed. "I don't want to lose you ever again, Kurt. You're the one I want to marry, and have kids with and grow old with. I love you more than I ever thought possible."
Kurt's eyes filled with tears. "I love you too, and I want all those too. Thank you for making me realize that."
"Let's get to the hospital."
"Hang on, I just need to grab something from my room."
Kurt nodded and Blaine ran into his room, returning a few minutes later with a slightly smug look on his face. Ignoring it, the two got in a cab, making their way to the hospital. When they got there, the New Directions was making just as much chaos in the waiting room.
"Look, white boy, she is my best friend and I demand to be let in there right now or someone will be going home with one less ball than when they came."
"Mercedes, calm down! Look, Doctor, you'd better let her in before she cuts you."
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't let you in unless Mrs Hudson agrees."
"She can… AHHHH… Come in! Mercedes, please!"
Kurt and Blaine both winced as Rachel had another contraction. They all knew she had a loud voice, she was on Broadway for goodness sake, but this was just ridiculous. Her voice filled the entire waiting room, turning everyone's heads. Kurt was sure that Santana wasn't the only one convinced Rachel was having a demon baby. She spotted Kurt and Blaine hanging awkwardly in the corner, and her face lit up.
"Kurt! AHHHHHH, ohh my God it hurts so much! I need you in there with me too! AHHH FINN! WHERE ARE MY ICE CHIPS? GET ME TO MY ROOM NOW!"
A young nurse with a terrified look on her face helped Rachel to a wheelchair and began to wheel her away with Mercedes and Finn hot on her heels. Kurt shot Blaine a pleading glance and began to follow them, only to find he was stopped by a nurse.
"Only 2 people with the mother to be."
Kurt breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to Blaine.
"I really didn't want to watch that. Ever. Especially Rachel."
Blaine laughed and led his boyfriend over to one of the seats. Blaine pulled out a cereal bar and passed it to Kurt, who took it gratefully.
"So, what are we going to do about Adam?"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders. He seriously had no idea. How can you forgive someone who threatened to kill you and ended the best relationship of your life? But then, Adam seemed so apologetic, like he could hardly live with himself.
"I think I'm going to forgive him. He seemed truly sorry. And it would hypocritical of me to forgive Karofsky and not him. You don't have to though; he may have only done this to me, but over your childhood he bullied you about your sexuality. I can see why you wouldn't."
Blaine sighed heavily. "I'm glad you're forgiving him… But I'm not sure if I'm ready to yet. At some point, I can see myself forgiving him, but right now… I can't even bear to think about it."
Kurt placed a kiss on Blaine's temple.
"I understand. I love you."
"Love you too."
The two began to make conversation with the rest of the New Directions who were milling about the waiting room, watching soon to be parents sitting there, worry etched on their faces. Kurt suddenly had an idea, and whispered it in Blaine's ear. A grin burst onto his face and he nodded, and the two began to go around the room, whispering in the New Directions' ears, informing them of their plan. They then returned to their seats and watched as Puck cracked out his guitar and began to play. Kurt and Blaine, as well as the rest of New Directions, jumped out of their seats and began to dance to the music.
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
All of the parents to be in the waiting room began to laugh and stood up to join in, dancing with the New Directions.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Kurt grabbed Blaine's hands and they began to dance together in time to the music, laughing as they did it.
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
As they finished the song, the nurses, doctors and parents applauded loudly as the New Directions bowed, laughing together. There really was drama wherever they went.
Kurt and Blaine sat down again, leaning against each other. Soon they fell into a dreamless sleep.

"Kurt! Blaine! Wake up!"
Kurt woke up with a start, narrowly missing banging heads with Blaine.
"W-aaah?"
Tina rolled her eyes, shaking them both. "She's done! Come on, we're going to see it!"
Both boys pulled themselves to their feet, wobbling towards Rachel's hospital room. The rest of the New Directions were already in there, crowding round her bed. Kurt and Blaine pushed their way through, stopping at the foot of Rachel's bed.
Rachel was sat up, clutching the two smallest babies Kurt had ever seen.
Kurt felt his breath hitch and his eyes fill up with tears. "T-twins?"
Rachel nodded. "Somehow, the doctor didn't see the second baby in the sonogram. It happens, apparently."
Finn stood beside her, a proud smile on his face. His eyes were red from crying, and Kurt wasn't surprised. He felt like crying with pride just looking at them.
For once, the rest of the New Directions were silent, not wanting to disturb the babies. Even Santana had tears welling up in her eyes.
"What are their names?"
"The boy is Christopher, after Finn's dad, and the girl is Melody."
Finn took Melody out of Rachel's arms, passing her to Kurt. "Say hi to your uncle, Melody."
Melody sighed and snuggled closer to Kurt, grabbing one of his fingers. "She's beautiful." Kurt breathed.
Finn looked at the rest of the club, smiling widely. "We need 6 of you to be godparents."
Santana, Brittany and Quinn stepped back, hardly thinking it was a job for them. Lauren, Mike and Tina joined them. As much as they loved Finn and Rachel, the others were closer to the pair.
"Mercedes, Kurt and Blaine, we'd like you to be Melody's godparents. Sam, Puck and Artie, we'd like you to be Christopher's. You know, if you want to."
They all looked at each other, before looking back at Rachel and Finn in conformation.
"We'd be honoured."
Kurt passed Melody back to Rachel, who placed both babies in a crib beside her bed. Rachel lay back on the pillows, watching as the others conversed. According to Mercedes, she had slapped the doctor and kicked Finn in the crotch. She'd also screamed a high F as the first baby crowned, which Kurt thought was quite impressive.
Soon, Rachel's eyes started to close, and the New Directions filed out of the room as quietly as they could so they didn't disturb her. Once they were back in the waiting room, Blaine took Kurt's hands.
"Come with me, Kurt."
Kurt looked confused, but obliged. Blaine led him down the corridor towards the stairs. Climbing to the top, Blaine swung open the door to the roof and led Kurt onto it. Kurt gasped as he looked up and saw the sky.
He'd lived in New York for 5 years and very rarely saw the stars in the sky. But tonight, on the roof of the hospital, they could see every single star illuminating the sky, lighting up the roof.
"The sky looks beautiful from up here." Kurt breathed. Blaine nodded, taking his hands.
"When you were in the hospital, I would come up here whilst you slept. It gave me a chance to forget that you were hurt, even if just for a minute."
Kurt placed a soft kiss on Blaine's lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Actually, that's the reason I brought you up here."
Blaine knelt down in front of Kurt, pulling out a small box. Kurt's breathing hitched.
"Just over a year ago, I was planning on proposing to you. Then all this shit happened, and I lost you, and I've never been so miserable in my entire life. Now I'm unbelievably lucky to have you back, and I don't ever want to lose you, ever. So marry me, Kurt, and I promise you I'll make you feel as special as you are every single day. Seeing Rachel and Finn with their babies just cemented the idea that I want that with you in my mind. I love you more than I ever thought possible. Will you marry me?"
Kurt's eyes welled up and he pulled Blaine into a deep kiss. Blaine pulled back, grinning.
"I'll take that as a yes?"
Kurt laughed, hugging Blaine tightly. "I'd be insane to say no."
Blaine slipped the ring onto Kurt's ring finger, where it fit perfectly. It looked as if it belonged there.
Kurt and Blaine shared a kiss under the stars; one of many for the rest of their lives.
