"What if one of my exes were in front of you and I said, hey Kurt hes bigger?"
A few weeks after the shop opening I had taken time off from my busy schedule to spend some time with my two favourite little men. Dale had called in a favour so he and Jake could have some alone time and Landin had very quickly informed us we were going to Red, which was his favourite ‘grown up treat. It was nice enough and served good food which kept him and Blaine happy. We were sitting at his favourite table (a booth at the window so he could "people watch") which had comfortable red leather seats and a huge oak table with wagon wheels as legs.
"Uncle Kurt?" Landin is smiling at me from the seat across the table as I read down the menu.
"Yeah Landin?" I ask, not looking up at him.
"How do you know if you like boys or girls?" Blaine coughs beside me and I kick his shin under the table.
"Why do you ask sweetie?" I put my menu down carefully and Blaine tries to pull his up closer to his face before I swipe it out of his hands, causing Blaine to stick his tongue out at me.
"Because Billy says his mommy and daddy told him that only girls should like boys..." He shuffles in his chair to look at us better. "But you and Uncle Blaine and daddy J and daddy D like boys, not girls." He states, as if we didnt already know that.
"Thats right and we always say to you that some people think different things, but all your family will love you no matter who you like." I say softly, leaning over to reach his hand as Blaine does the same.
"But how do you know?" He looks between us and we frown at each other for a minute. "Because I like to play with boys and girls!"
"Well dude... When you get older you will want to ki- play! Play with someone really special! And you will love them a whole lot. Like your dads and me and Uncle Kurt." Blaine says, ducking his head on to my shoulder to plant a kiss, so I continue.
"But what you have to remember is only you know what is right. Nobody can tell you what to do...unless its your dad telling you to tidy your room." I smile as Landin he glares at me across the table.
"But how will I know?" Landin whined once more. We dont quite know how to answer and Landin seems to be getting more agitated as the conversation continues. "How did you know?"
"Well I knew for a long time before I told anyone. I just realised that your uncle Blaine was my best friend in the whole world and I wanted to spend forever with him." I smiled, watching Blaine listen to me and still felt all those butterflies I did the first time I realised my feelings. "But your uncle Blaine wasnt as clever...."
"Hey! I got there in the end!" Blaine whined at me with his trade mark pout. "I loved your uncle Kurt for a long time too, but I was scared and did some silly things before I admitted it to myself. But luckily Uncle Kurt is very forgiving and still loved me just as much." Blaine squeezed my hand where we were still holding Landins.
"Not when you eat all the cheesecake he doesnt!" Landin shook his head and picked up his menu again to choose what he wanted to eat. "I want pizza!" He shouted happily, putting his menu down.
"Okay..." I look at Blaine, wondering if we had given him the answer he needed, but Blaine just shrugged at me, picking up his menu too. When the waitress arrived she smiled merrily, handing Landin a colouring sheet and some crayons. "Can we have a childs mushroom pizza, one medium rare sirloin and a Mediterranean salad for me please?" I smile at her, passing over the menus as she watches me with a surprised expression.
"Youre Kurt Hummel!" She says, but not as a question.
"Yes I am." I smile happily as she shakes my hand. "This is my boyfriend Blaine and this cutie is my nephew Landin." Landin and Blaine both chorus a polite hi before continuing to colour in the pages together.
"I saw the pictures of the opening online. That dress you made for Santana Lopez was insane! All the girls were talking about it. We would kill for that dress." She babbled excitedly and a few other waitresses were crowding to watch our interaction from the bar.
"Well thank you..."
"Katie. Katie Jones!" She squealed slightly.
"Katie, if you want I can give you the shop number and you can come down for a consultation?" She shakes her head fiercely at my offer.
"Oh no! Its not that I wouldnt want to but, I only work part time. Im in the musical theatre program at NYU and I couldnt afford it..." She mumbles quietly and I notice a slight pink stain her cheeks.
"Listen. Take this card, call the number and tell Maya that Im expecting your call. Im sure we can get you a fabulous dress for the winter formal on me!" I insist, passing her my business card and she squeals again, nodding her thanks before going to put in our order. I watch all the other waitresses hug her in excitement before I turn around to face Blaines grin.
"What?"
"I am insanely in love with the future fashion extraordinaire Kurt Peachy Hummel is all." He kisses me softly on the lips as a yuk comes from Landin across the table.
"Well that is very handy....because I am insanely in love with you Blaine Bumble Bee Anderson!"

"Dad! We went to my favourite place. And Uncle Kurt let me have mushroom pizza AND I drew this!" He jumps excitedly in front of Jake and Dale as they come into the apartment and sit on the couch. He hands over his drawing of stick people and starts pointing them out.
"Thats me, and thats you and Dad and thats House with a baby he just found us." He squeals and Dale smiles at him, pulling him onto his knee.
"This is amazing honey. Ill put it in the kitchen at work." He smiles happily. "How was dinner?" He looks over to me and Blaine.
"Eventful..." Blaine starts.
"Sneaky ninja questions?" Jake ruffles Landins hair and gives us a knowing smile.
"Yeah kind of, Ill tell you later. OH and I got a fan!" I clap my hands excitably. "She recognised me and said she saw all the opening photos and I offered for her to come get a formal gown for the NYU dance. She was just so excited about meeting me I couldnt let her be empty handed. It was my first fan!" I giggle and Blaine rubs my knee softly to calm me down.
"You do realise giving freebies to all fans will leave you with no business, right?" Santana slurs as she comes into the room. "Daddies, bug...hobbit!" Santana smiles lazily as she sits down between me and Blaine.
"Its one person Santana, and she is just like me when I got here, no money and a passion for fabulous clothes. I couldnt not offer!" I sigh happily at being recognised for my work, I still cant believe it happened to me!
"Okay I get it and Im happy for you, just wait till they are snapping pictures of you hung over, then you will hate it." She laughs before turning to Dale and Jake. "So what was with the summons, oh mighty powerful dads?"
"Well, today we had a meeting to finalise things and...We are getting a baby in six weeks!" Dale sings happily, catching Jakes hand in his own and squeezing Landin to his chest.
"A baby!" Landin shouts as loud as his little lungs will let him. "And House will bring it."
"This is amazing!" I screech.
"Jake, youre not showing! How do you keep in shape?" Santana shouts.
"Guys...like how, who, when did this happen?" Blaine asks, shocked.
"Funny Tan! We have been meeting with the agency for a while. We didnt want to jinx anything but six weeks today our baby will be coming home with us." Jake laughs excitedly and I can see his eyes swim with joy and Dale leans over to kiss him, Landin squeezing his face in in between their lips to get a kiss on either cheek.
"Okay details? We need details!" I yell happily, grabbing Santanas hand who grabs Blaine on the other side.
"Okay shes two months old, has blonde hair, green eyes and the most adorable dimples ever. Her mom died in labour and shes been in a foster home since she was born, so we are going to have visits to get her used to us, and then, if all goes to plan, she will be here for good." Dale rambles, looking at each of us on a loop as he talks.
"Hold up!" Santana wails.
"She?" Blaine mumbles out quietly.
"As in we are getting a niece?" I say, eyes widening.
"Eww a baby sister!" Landin pouts from between them. He had been fantasizing about playing football with a little brother ever since his dads told him they were wanting another baby.
"Yeah Landin a little sister. Her name is Lydia Beau. Our baby girl Lydia." Jake squeaked excitedly. "I cant help but keep saying it! And guess what, she is going to need a big brother to help look after her." Jake nudges him gently in the side.
"Can I take her temperature?" He asks seriously. "And show her how to build a plane with Lego?" He looks over to Blaine who nods at his building partner. I cant count how many times I have come home to forts and houses and anything else Lego scattered around after Landin has been here.
"Well you can when shes older, she will be really small when we get her and wont be able to do things like that. And when shes sick you can help take her temperature. Just like our own mini House." Dale bops him on the nose.
"So what will she do when we get her?" Landin asks.
"Well, she will mostly sleep and drink special milk and then sleep some more." Jake explains and Landin thinks for a minute before frowning.
"Thats boring!" He says loudly.
"But then she will start to crawl, and walk and talk, and as her big brother you will have to teach her things you know." Dale says excitedly and I can already picture the trauma of trying to catch her smile on camera for the first time.
"Okay, I can do that. Can I go watch House now?" He asks, already bored of the conversation.
"You can go watch House. But we are going soon." Jake says, shaking his head as he runs off to my room. "So what do you think?" He asks, looking at us all.
"I think Kurts had a stroke." Santana waves her arm in front of my face where I am just looking into the centre of the floor.
"Dresses! So many tiny little dresses... And hair bows..." I mumble, starting to visualise every baby version of my designs I can.
"I cant wait to meet her!" Blaine squeals from beside Santana.
"And rompers! Lots of tiny little rompers..." I ramble, effectively being ignored.
"When can I watch her? And when do I start getting to tell her about all things girly that you two wont have a clue about?" Santana pipes up from beside me.
"And tiny little shoes...with tiny little buckles..." I add more fabrics to my mental check list.
"Never. You are not corrupting our daughter." Dale He stops to smile at Jake before continuing. "And she wont be dating until shes at least forty."
"Oh come on, at least take it down to twenty five...you were trying to fuck Kurt at twenty five." Santana moans.
"Hey!" Jake and Blaine shout as I keep adding anything I can think to my list. Six weeks is too short a time frame for all my plans.
"I was not. And that is exactly why she wont get out until forty." Dale growls at her, giving her a glare.
"You two are no fun. Blaine, when you have a baby girl, can I teach her about girl things?" She looks to Blaine and he shakes his head.
"No way! And besides, thats ages away." He mumbles the end of the sentence and I sort of begin to panic at the route of topic when an idea hits me.
"Baby shower!" I jump up from the seat and stand stock still in the centre of the room with a triumphant yell. "Ill host a baby shower!" I grin at the four disgusted faces around me.
