Kurt paused as he waited for Elliott to follow him up the steps of his dad and Carole's house. "You coming slowpoke," Kurt teased his son. The three year old smiled up at father and simply held out his small hand in response. Kurt gripped the fingers tightly in his own and ushered the child through the front door.

"We're here!" Kurt grinned as his stepmom rushed into the room pulling a roundbrush through her hair one final time.

"Here's my boy!" Carole exclaimed as she swung Elliott up into her arms. Kurt leaned over his son's head to give Carole a greeting kiss on the cheek. "How are you this morning, sweetie?" Kurt realized after a moment that the question was actually directed toward him instead of his son.

"I'm fine," he answered with a tight smile knowing exactly why she asked and not wanting to talk about it. He settled into a chair and pulled Elliott away from his grandma in order to retie the laces of the Lightning McQueen tennis shoes.

Carole bit her lip indecisively for a moment and then settled a hand on her step-son's shoulder giving it a squeeze. "I love you, honey," she kissed the top of his head, "you're an incredible father, you know."

Kurt reached up and squeezed her hand with another small smile, this one actually genuine though.

"Tag, you're it"

"Ha! Gotcha!"

"No fair! Tagbacks are against the rules," a small voice pouted.

"Micah, Elise, it's a little early to start in with the fighting. Can we at least go inside and say good morning to Carole first?" Jeff's voice called from the porch as he opened the door. Kurt and Carole grinned at each other over the children's antics and stood to greet everyone.

Micah and Elise, both four, stumbled across the doorstep, tossed their bags onto the bench in the front hall and simultaneously yelped a "Hi Carole!" then fell to the floor of the living room as they turned on a cartoon.

"Only half an hour and then we are spending time in the sunshine," Carole reminded them with loving pats on the head. They both nodded in agreement before quickly getting lost in the show.

"I swear, they are either fighting or acting identically. You'd think they were fraternal twins or something," Jeff shook his head at his daughter.

"That would be a feat seeing as they're not even related," Wes smiled as he kissed Carole's cheek in greeting before checking Micah's bag to make sure everything was there. "O.k., I've gotta go. Early board meeting. Bye baby!"

"Bye dad!"

"Not even a glance away from the television!" Wes gripped his chest in mock heartbreak. The others laughed and waved their goodbyes as he ducked out the front door.

"Hey Finn," they heard Wes greet from the front door. A small dark head darted into the room and little arms wrapped themselves around Carole's legs with a "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma!"

"Hello sunshine!" Carole grinned as she wrapped her own arms around the five year old girl in return.

"Tell Grandma and Uncle Kurt our big news, Hailey," Finn instructed with barely concealed excitement.

"We're having TWO baby brothers instead of one!" Hailey danced around the room with some well-rehearsed tap moves.

Silence as the news set in, then everyone seemed to move and talk at once. The room erupted in confusion as it was filled with hugs and excited congratulatory words.

"Hi?" A hesitant voice spoke from the front hall. Everyone turned to find a curly haired man standing in the doorway with an adorable pigtailed little girl in his arms, clinging nervously to his neck. "I'm sorry to just let myself in but nobody heard me knock and the door was open..."

"Blainey!" Jeff interrupted throwing himself at his friend.

"It's good to see you Jeff," Blaine grinned as he hugged his friend with his free arm.

"Uncle Jeff!" Addy was thrilled to see someone else she knew, as she tended to be a shy child. Jeff took her in his arms and reached a hand out for Elliott, the only other child left in with the adults by now, as Hailey had since been drawn into the living room by the sounds of Phineas and Ferb. Elliott hopped down from his current position in his Uncle Finn's arms and took Jeff's hand.

"Here sweetie, I'll introduce you to the other rugrats. This is Elliott, you guys are the same age. He's the best one!" Jeff finished in a stage whisper. Both three year olds giggled as they waved hello to each other.

"Hey!" Elise sat up looking offended. She squealed with excitement though when she noticed her younger friend, and bounded over to share a hug.

"Now that I have your attention... Everyone, come here and meet Addy," Jeff called as he winked at his daughter and pulled her in to kiss her cheek.

Blaine smiled as he watched Addy acclimate so quickly to her new surroundings. He turned back to the other adults as the slightly older woman with a stylish short haircut walked over and shook his hand.

"Hello Blaine. I'm Carole. It's such a pleasure to meet you! You're daughter seems absolutely lovely. She'll fit in here well," she finished warmly. Blaine thanked her, feeling already that this was one of the better decisions he had made lately. "I know you need to get to work right now. Just let me grab the basic consent forms for you to sign and we can figure everything else out when you come to pick her up. I'm assuming you get off at the same time as my son since you're headed to the same place." When Blaine just looked at her in confusion she exclaimed, "Oh, where are my manners. Blaine, this is my son, Kurt. He's a doctor at Lima Memorial too."

Kurt stood from his seat in the kitchen chair that was slightly behind his brother, previously hiding him from the nurse's view. "Hello again, Blaine."

"Dr. Hummel!"

The rest of the adults took in Kurt's grin and watched as Blaine's surprise quickly turned into pleasure as the two slowly met in the middle to shake hands. Finn looked over at his mom with a questioning eyebrow raised, but she simply shrugged and smiled as she stepped into her office to grab the paperwork. Anyone that made her step-son smile like that was o.k. in her book.

(So this is the gay friend Jeff had talked about!) For some reason Kurt had gotten the impression that the man had been married. Wow, his day had just improved vastly!
