“Is this all?” Blaine asked writing down the last item down on the list, Kurt nodded “Yeah I think anyway”. Today they were going shopping for the nursery, which Burt and Carole insisted they would help turn the office next to Kurt and Blaine’s room in to the nursery.
As they were just walking out the door, they heard the foot steps on Finn coming down the stairs. “Are you two going to buy stuff for the baby?” he asked, Kurt and Blaine nodded, then Finn continued “Can…can I come with you?” he asked, almost like he was shy to ask.
“Yeah if you want to” Blaine said smiling at the end. All three of them climbed in the car and headed to the mall.
They got everything they needed for now, it was a good shopping trip, except for a group of women in the shop who seemed to nearly follow them around looking at Kurt in a weird way. But they then went to the second hand shop, where they got nearly three bin bags full of clothes for under $15, all they had to do was wash them.
“wow this baby is going to have more clothes then you” Blaine said to Kurt smiling as they placed the bags they could carry in to the kitchen. “Well, what did you expect” Kurt said sitting down on the stool next to the breakfast bar.
Finn came in after carrying in the very heavy stuff upstairs. “Right, time for my favourite part, painting” Blaine said with a big grin on his face, Kurt rolled his eyes “Im dating a five year old”.
“You love me really” Blaine said leaning over to him and placing a small kiss on his lips.
The two boys went off upstairs, leaving Kurt alone. He decided to catch up on his reading. After about a hour of reading, he got bored and went up to go see how the others were doing. Burt must of cleared out the room before the boys stated painting, which made Kurt think that was sweet and annoying, because since his heart attack last year, he wasn’t meant to do anything like that.
The old office was now half cream and half the old brown, Finn had some paint on him. But Blaine had smears over his face and arms, which made Kurt smile. “So, how long you got left to do?” he asked, Blaine turned round to see him in the doorway.
“Go downstairs babe, you know what we said the fumes from the paint aren’t good for you or the baby” Blaine said softly putting down his paintbrush and went to stand near Kurt.
“You try being bored to tears down there” Kurt said, Blaine chuckled softly and kissed his forehead. “Go” he said, Kurt sighed “Fine, and by the way I think you missed a lot of places” he said as he walked away. “Haha very funny!” Finn called to him from down the hall.
Kurt did try his best to stay occupied, he washed all the second hand clothes, washed the dishes and cleaned the living room, twice. For some reason when he was bored he cleaned.
Somehow he managed to get through a couple of hours, when he went upstairs to see how far the other boys had done. He didn’t expect what he saw when he opened the door, a fully complete nursery.
The old brown dull office was now cream walled expect one which was a dark purple, one that wall was a dark woodened crib, with cream covers and a Pooh Bear blanket draped over the bars, and the same theme was on the mobile above. The carpet was creamy brownish, with a circle purple rug. The changing table and wardrobe were the same coloured wood as the crib, under the big window in their was what looked like a long chest with a soft pillow top. In the corner of the room was a creamy chair and a leg rest, on the walls were some pictures, one was some cartoon like ‘love birds’, the next one was a large frame in which had two different kind of sheet music in it, one was Perfect (the clean version) and Somewhere only we know, the other frame was blank Kurt could only guess it was for a picture of her when she was born. The one thing that somehow he missed was above the crib their were some white and purple letters which spelled out Bella Lily
“So, you like it?” came a voice from behind him. He turned to see the curly haired boy still covered in paint, all Kurt could do was wrap his arms around him and hold him tight. “Thank you so much” is what he could finally say, Blaine pulled away “You need to stop saying that” he said wiping away the few tears that had fallen down Kurt’s face, “I do this stuff because I love you, alright?” he finished and smiled.
________________________________________________________________________
The next day Blaine was alone, Burt and Carole had jury duty, Kurt was out with Mercedes and Finn was at Puck’s trying out some new video game. This was the first time since he began living here that he actually had a day alone, not that he didn’t love everyone in the house but with five people, soon to be six living their it was hard to get time alone.
Blaine sat on the couch still in his old Batman pyjama bottoms and tee, the T.V. played in the background. Blaine decided to take a break from his homework and go on Facebook. He hadn’t been on in a while, so had many notifications and messages. Most of the messages were the Warblers saying they missed him and some were joke messages from Wes and David. When he continued to read he then saw one message he didn’t expect, one from his dad.
Blaine let the curser hover over the message, arguing with himself whether to click on it or not.
Why would you let him do this to you again?
But he is my dad!
That doesn’t mean he can do all those things to you and try to hurt you and your family.
Blaine shock his head to clear his head of thoughts, and clicked on the message, it read:
Dear Blaine
I know everything, but did you not even think of asking me what I thought about it! Your mom was the one who told you to leave, I didn’t. Don’t ignore me Blaine.
I want to help you, me and your mom are having troubles and long story short, she’s staying at your aunts. I want to see you Blaine, I know we have had trouble in are past but im willing to look past it if you are. Im also sorry about Christmas, I should of come to see you.
I miss you son.
Blaine reread the message about six times, Why now? Why did he all of a sudden want to see Blaine again? These questions ran through Blaine’s head. He decided to reply and say what he thought.
Why? Why now? You had months to tell me this, you don’t think I have enough to deal with in my life right now and you being in it too wont help
Blaine sighed as he pressed send, a small weight did lift off his shoulders. But then came crashing back down when he got a instant reply back.
Why? Because like I said you’re my son. And now because your going to be a dad, soon. I want you to know that I never said anything to your mother about you leaving. Im sorry.
How about we meet today? 2pm at the Lima Bean?
Blaine looked at the message, ‘because you’re my son’ well he never thought that a few years ago. But like he had thought earlier he is his dad.
Fine
_________________________________________________________________________
Here he was, sitting in the Lima Bean with his median drip coffee waiting for his father. He was fiddling with the plastic top of the cup when he walked in.
His father Fredrick Anderson, was a tall man (Blaine defiantly didn’t get that from him) he looked around the room till he spotted Blaine. He walked over and sat down, he smiled at Blaine and was the first to talk “So you came” he said. Blaine nodded “Yep” he took a sip from his drink.
There was a awkward silence, till Blaine decided to brake it “So you going to tell me the real reason you wanted to see me”. Fredrick looked up “I told you, I wanted to tell you what really happened and why you have to live with your…your boyfriend” he struggled on the word. “Go one then” Blaine said.
“When you called, me and your mom were just getting out of another fight. So she wasn’t in the best of moods, I then went off to the office to calm down a bit. She then came in and said ‘guess what? Some how your son has got his boyfriend pregnant! Oh and he wont be coming home’ then she left. Not even talking to me about you or anything that was going on” he finished. Blaine was a bit shocked by what he heard.
“Y…you never knew?” he said to his father who was looked down at his hand, which where resting on the table. He shook his head, there was another awkward silence. This time his father broke the silence.
“So what do you think about all of it?” he asked. Blaine looked at his in confusion “about what?” he asked. “About the baby, you know my grandson or granddaughter?” he said. “Granddaughter” Blaine said bluntly.
“What do you think about her, your going to be a dad has it hit you yet?” he asked. Blaine sighed “Yeah it hit me when we went for the first sonogram, I cried and im not ashamed to say that” Blaine smiled. “You shouldn’t, I cried at your mother’s first for you” his father admitted.

“Okay im super jealous of you Kurt, your six months and look 4 months. When I was six months I looked eight!” Quinn said then taking a sip of her smoothe. Everyone smiled or laughed a bit at this, they were at the mall sitting in this new drink bar where you could get any drink. “Thanks Quinn” Kurt said finished this stupid tea he had to drink “but im sick of this stuff im going to get a coffee”, as he stood up two of the girls pulled him down and everyone else was saying ‘no!’.
“We promised Blaine that you would drink coffee and anyway its not good for the baby” Tina said. “God im really getting sick of this” Kurt said resting his head on his hand, “Aww don’t worry boo only three more months” Mercedes said rubbing the top of his arm.
“Lets get your mind of it, what’s going on with Rachel?” Tina asked. “She’s just a bitch no one knows why” Kurt said. The three girls all looked at each other, “What?” Kurt asked the guilty looking girls. “Well” Quinn started “when we were planning that concert to raise money, Rachel kind of said what she thought”.
“And what was that?” Kurt asked, Quinn took his hand “She kind of said that we should all be practising for Regional’s and not a concert for a baby that wasn’t even born yet. She then she went on about how were a group and were all normally happy but when she’s born that were going to lose you, Blaine or Finn because of this, and I quote ‘stupid baby’, but don’t worry she’s just stupid.” Quinn finished.
Kurt wasn’t shocked but he was a bit annoyed. “hey don’t worry about it, Finn was sweet he stuck up for you guys” Mercedes said. “Yeah I guess your right” Kurt said standing up and taking his bag “I gotta go, ill see you in glee” he walked out and went into the car park.
Just as he was about to unlock his car he heard a voice he hoped he’d never hear again. “Well, well, well, so the rumours are true” he heard the voice say, he turned to see the face of Dave Karofsky.
“Go away” Kurt said, a bit scared. “So your boyfriend knocked you up, I take it that means your going strong?” Karofsky said sounding a bit disappointed at the end. Kurt suddenly felt less scared.
“What do you mean, but yeah we are” Kurt said. Dave looked up at him “Why weren’t I good enough for you?“ he asked. This threw Kurt back a bit by this “You never liked me, you threatened me and you know what, im so happy you graduated last year” he said.
Dave pushed him against he car, “You cant say that, I loved you.” he said. “No you were confused, now leave me alone” Kurt said trying to push past Dave, which he did, just. “Don’t forget what I said” Dave said as Kurt got in his car. “I’ll try to” Kurt said as he drove away.
________________________________________________________________________
The rest of Blaine’s coffee ‘meeting’ went good, him and his dad were being civil, but their relationship was getting better.
When he got home Finn was sitting on the couch with Puck. “Hey dude” Finn said turning his head for a second then back to his game. “Hi, I thought you guys were at yours Pucks?” Blaine asked. “Yeah my mum got angry, so we came here” Puck said, Blaine began to walk upstairs when Finn called up to him “Dude Kurt’s not home yet want to join us?” he asked holding up a spare remote. Blaine smiled “Yeah, sure”. he joined them and turned out to be good.
Kurt came in about ten minutes late, he need time to think about what Dave had said. When he walked into the scene, he smiled. Blaine was being the typical teenage boy, and Kurt had never really seen him like this, then he felt guilty. This baby was going to take that away from him and he felt horrible.
He leaned on the doorframe and watched. “Yes! Come on dude me and Blaine totally beat you!” Puck said smiling. “No, I won and you know it!” Finn said.
“Actually I think they beat you Finn” Kurt said, the three boys turned to see him their, Blaine smiled and walked over to him. He wrapped his arms around his waist, while Kurt wrapped his around Blaine’s neck. “Hey baby, how was your day out” Blaine asked, Kurt shrugged his shoulders “It was okay, ill tell you more later, how was your lazy day?” Kurt asked. “It wasn’t really what I expected” he saw the confusion on Kurt’s face “I’ll tell you later” he smirked and kissed the tip of Kurt’s nose.
“Okay” Kurt said softly “Im going upstairs, im exhausted”.
“I’ll come up if you want” Blaine said. Kurt shock his head gently “Nah, your having fun with these two, I’ll be down in a hour or so, okay?”
Blaine nodded and kissed him one more time. Kurt pulled away and went upstairs.
After a about hour and a half when Kurt hadn’t come back down, Blaine went up to check on him. When he opened the door he saw Kurt sitting cross legged on the bed, eyes red from crying. Blaine nearly ran over to him and sat on the bed and grabbed his hand.
“Baby?” he said Kurt looked down “baby? What’s wrong!”. Kurt looked up slightly and said in nearly a whisper “I thought that I would stop when he was gone”.
Blaine was confused “What would stop?” he asked using his thumb and index figure to lift his head up.
“I…I ran in to Karofsky today, and he said that he loved me. I left then when I was alone I got a text from him” Kurt said as new tears rolled down his cheeks. “What? What did it say” Blaine asked. Kurt got his phone and showed Blaine the message.
To: Kurt
From: Dave Karofsky
I tell you I love you and you run away! You knocked up circus freak! I may not be at that school anymore but my threat still stands. If you don’t leave that boy or at least show me you like me too, or I will come and make your life hell.
Blaine read this over and over again. He felt tears sting his eyes but blinked them back, that jerk! “God, oh my god Kurt im so sorry I should have been there!” he said finding it hard to hold the tears back. “No you didn’t know this would happen nor did I” Kurt said looking back down.
“What do we do?” Blaine asked. Kurt shrugged his shoulders “I don’t know”
__________________________________________________________
They returned to school worried about the bully even though he wasn’t even at school anymore.
The next two and a bit months passed with nothing from the bully. But that didn’t mean the couple didn’t think about the threat.
What if Karofsky did do something to the baby, they would never forgive themselves.
