Kurt curls into his mommy's shoulder, running chubby fingers through her silky locks. He loves playing with his mommy's hair. She turns her head slightly to look down at him. Her blue eyes shine as she gazes into her son's beautiful face.
"I don't know Kurtie," she whispers. "Mommy feels kind of crazy for coming here."
Kurt gives her a slightly slobbery smile and threads his fingers through her hair once again.
"I mean, even if daddy and I could afford a place like this, it's so far into the future."
Kurt coos softly and pats her cheek with his free hand. She catches his little hand with her own and tickles his palm. He snatches his hand away and giggles happily.
"Well," she says with a light laugh. "I guess what really matters is what YOU think. So, what do you think?"
She points around to the elaborate decor, showing him the sparkling chandeliers and colorful paintings. His blue eyes go wide as he takes in everything that is bright and shiny. He turns back to her with a look of awe on his face.
"I take it you like it?" She asks with a grin. He grins back.
"Mama." He says definitively.
She giggles.
"Yes. I'm mama. I suppose that's all that matters to you right now." She sighs and looks around once more before heading to the staircase. "Ah, well. We have plenty of time to decide where you'll go to school. At the very least we got to see some pretty things today, huh?"
She nuzzles into his hair as he snuggles against her chest, gazing over her shoulder.
Blaine kicks his little feet happily as his mommy carries him down the hall on her hip. There are so many fun things to look at. Enormous picture windows let the sunshine pour in, and offer a view of the immaculate grounds. The floors are waxed so thoroughly that you can see your reflection, and sparkling lights hang from the ceilings.
Blaine is having the time of his life.
He squirms to get down, wanting to crawl and toddle around on the shiny floors, but his mommy keeps a tight grip on him.
"Not now, Blainey," she whispers, holding her cell phone away from her mouth for a moment. "You need to stay with mommy."
He sighs, catching her meaning even if he doesn't understand all of the words yet. He snuggles into her side and grips her shirt tightly as she starts up the huge staircase.
"Absolutely, darling," she says back into her phone. "This place is incredible. I think it would be an excellent choice for Blaine someday."
She looks down at him and smiles. He grins back at her, giggling and bouncing on her hip. She presses a kiss into the curls and goes back to her conversation.
"Yes, of course it's a long way down the road, but there's nothing wrong with planning ahead. We can always just put him on the list and then make up our minds later..."
Blaine contentedly chants "Ma, Ma, Ma, Ma..." in a quiet, sing-song voice as they climb the steps. He gazes excitedly at all of the pretties that surround him.
Kurt is just about to lay his head down on his mommy's shoulder, when his mommy passes another mommy on the staircase. He takes in the vision of another little boy, sitting on his mommy's hip. The boy has flashing, honey-colored eyes and bouncing black curls.
Kurt's blue eyes go wider than ever. They sparkle and shine as his little heart beats just a bit faster.
Blaine is still bouncing and singing happily to himself, when his mommy passes another mommy on the staircase. He takes in the vision of another little boy, looking intently over his mommy's shoulder. The boy has electric blue eyes and shiny brown hair that is swept back from his angelic face in smooth waves.
Blaine stops bouncing and singing. His little mouth makes a soft O shape, as he gazes in amazement. His little heart beats just a bit faster.
Two little boys look at each other in wide-eyed wonder. They continue to watch each other as their mommies walk further and further apart. They each keep gazing hopefully, even when the other little boy is long gone from sight. One thought is singing happily in both of their minds.
Pretty.
