"You know it's only 4 days left till Blaine is home."
"Yeah, I know. I told you."
"Yeah, and I think we should do something."
"Do something as in what?"
"Well, I think we should surprise him!"
"Don't you think the surprise pregnancy is enough?"
"Kurt, as your best friend and former..."
"Hey Rachel! Did you know I haven't felt ill in the morning this whole week. It must've been your tip on cooling your face with ice water every evening!" Kurt had abruptly interrupted Rachel. He did not need to hear her extensive explanation.
"Oh thank you Kurt! I know for a fact that my advice is some of the greatest. Now back to the surprise for Blaine", Kurt groaned and stuffed a pillow over his head. "I'm thinking that we should decorate the nursery before he comes home!"
"Rachel, you do know that I am only 6 weeks pregnant, and we don't even know the gender!"
"Hey what are you guys talking about?", Finn came into the living room holding a bowl of popcorn and a glass of soda. "Please tell me you didn't change the movie to something cheesy. Rachel made me sit through a Nichols Sparks marathon last Monday."
"Hey I'm still here. No, we have not changed the movie. Kurt and I.."
"Hey, there's no Kurt in this", Kurt interrupted again.
"Okay, I thought that Kurt should surprise Blaine when he comes home"
"Isn't being pregnant a surprise enough?", Finn asked with a raised eyebrow.
"My words exactly, thank you Finn. Now, can we skip all of these surprise plans and watch the movie?"
Rachel huffed and crossed her arms while Kurt put in the movie. Finn situated himself in the armchair with the foot rest. First when the selection menu popped up Finn noticed.
"Hey, this isn't Transformers three!?"
"Nope. Both Rachel and I think that it would be a shame to see Patrick Dempsey in such a horrible film that we choose Kate and Leopold instead".
Now Finn huffed in annoyance and pouted throughout the movie, although he gotta admit that it was decent.
"Goodnight Kurt, Goodnight Finn. I'll call you tomorrow about the nursery plan!", Rachel shouted as she headed out the door.
"Bye Rachel, and there are no nursery plans!", Kurt shouted back as he and Finn cleaned up in the living room. Finn came back to fetch the empty popcorn bowl when he heard Kurt's response.
"What's about this surprise?"
"Oh, it's just Rachel being silly. She wants me to decorate a nursery as a surprise for Blaine when he come home."
"Well that an idea."
"Yeah I know, a bad idea!"
"No no no, it's a good idea! Blaine would totally love it!"
"Finn, as I said to Rachel, I am only six weeks pregnant. Meaning that you can't even see the gender yet."
"Kurt, we don't have to make it like blue or pink, we can take like one of the other colors!"
"That is not my point", Finn put on the best pout he had. "Okay okay, I'll sleep on it. Goodnight Finn."
"Sleep tight Kurt!", Finn said as he headed in the opposite direction of the hallway to the guest bedroom. Kurt sighed and went into his and Blaine's bedroom. The bed was always warm, but it still seemed cold when Blaine wasn't here. Kurt changed into a set of pajamas and crawled into bed. Before he went into deep sleep he sent off a quick text to Blaine.
Gonna sleep now honey!
Miss you and can't wait to see you soon!
Love Kurt <3 xoxo
p.s. I have a surprise waiting for you at home!
Kurt pondered his message before he hit sent. Could he decorate a nursery? He erased the last part and sent it off. Okay, how am I gonna do this? I need a plan before I tell Blaine about any kind of surprise. Maybe I can ask Isabelle if she has any tips on decoration and interior design for nurseries. Before he went to sleep he sent off a quick email from his work phone asking Isabelle for advice.
"Finn, why in the world are you eating pizza for breakfast?"
"I couldn't find anything else", Finn said with his mouth full of pizza.
"You know we have a fridge", Kurt went over and opened the door to the fridge and presented the content to Finn. "We have eggs, bacon and vegetables at home. If you just waited I could have made breakfast for you!"
"Thanks dude! I should think of that tomorrow!"
"You do that", Kurt said as he picked out some of the vegetables and eggs. An omelet would be a good breakfast.
"Oh, can you still make me breakfast? I don't think this pizza was so good to eat..", Kurt raised his eyebrow in amusement and picked out some more ingredients.
"Hey Finn, I thought about the surprise thing."
"You did? Great! What do you wanna do?"
"Well, firstly I don't know a thing about nurseries so I emailed Isabelle for tips, I'll check if she has answered", Kurt fished the phone out of his cardigan pocket. An email from Isabelle had surely arrived, although it only said one word.
"Well, Finn, we're going window-shopping today! Isabelle gave me the most obvious choice to go shopping for nurseries."
"IKEA?"
"Nope, Pottery Barn."
"Kurt, Kurt! Come over here! You gotta see this!", Finn shouted from across the store. He had sped over to the children's section of the store the moment they walked in. Somehow he had managed even though the store was nearly packed. What Kurt didn't see coming was the shopping cart in the stomach.
"Oh gosh, Sorry! Didn't see you! Are you okay?", a worried woman with a child on the hip said. Kurt placed his hand over his abdomen.
"I'm fine, no injuries!", Kurt waved it off and continued over to Finn still holding his hand over his stomach.
"Kurt! We gotta have this in the baby room!", Finn was pointing towards a small rocker with a cuddly lamb.
"That's really cute Finn, we should write that one down. Do you have a pen?"
"Nope, but I can note it down in my phone!", Finn grinned as he typed down the lamb rocker. For nearly two hours Kurt and Finn was strolling around the store looking at cribs, changing tables and dressers.
"I need a break." Kurt was exhausted. So many parents swarming around the store, elbowing their way to get the last samples of monogram towels.
"Let's go grab a coffee outside", Finn said and they managed to make their way out of the store. Seated in a close coffee shop, Finn with a coffee and Kurt with a juice.
"I think the room should be yellow!", Finn exclaimed.
"Yellow? Oh no no, I've read multiple of articles about how yellow makes babies cry. So, no we're not having a yellow room".
"How do you know it's the same for all the children?"
"We're not going with yellow Finn, it feels too tacky. I think a mix between moss green and creme would be charming."
"Kurt, it's a nursery, not a studio. It gotta look legit!"
"Okay, let's ask Blaine!" Kurt sent off a text to Blaine asking about the color.
Hey Blaine!
Just wondering, what color do you think would be good to have in the nursery?
Love you!
"There! Let's see what Blaine thinks!" Just a minute later the phone beeped with a response. "And Blaine says...."
PURPLE!
Kurt hit his head against the table as Finn laughed at Blaine's answer. Well, we're definitely not going with purple, Kurt thought.
