“I got it,” Rachel called, “Hello, okay Kurt is getting some milk ready for Cole, and then he should be on the way.”
“Who was it,” Kurt asked as he came out of the bedroom.
“Blaine, he wanted to let you know they were going to hospital now so you could meet them?”
“Okay, well let me pack this away, and then we can go.”

“Hey you. How is he? How was breakfast with the parents,” Kurt asked as he walked over to Cole's section of the NICU.
“He's squirming a lot so I think he's probably hungry, but I knew you were coming so I asked Judy not to give him any milk through the feeding tube. Breakfast was really good. Dad got a call a few minutes ago and went downstairs with my mom to take it. He said they would meet us up here later. It's probably my Aunt or Uncle calling to wish them a Merry Christmas. By the way you look amazing.” Blaine said as he eyed Kurt's black button up shirt and dark wash jeans.
“Here I'll feed little man, and you don't look so bad yourself,” Kurt smiled back looking at Blaine's burgundy button up shirt with dark wash jeans.
Blaine laughed, “well it is Christmas so I didn't really want to go to breakfast and then come up here in sweats”
Kurt giggled, “Yah, sweatpants don't always work for everything. He's doing really well so we should take some us time later on. I heard they were having some carolers down in the day room around noon. We should go down there and see them.”
“Yeah sounds like a good idea. It will remind me of singing at nursing homes,” Blaine smirked as he wrapped his arms around Kurt and Cole.
“I love you,” Kurt sighed as he leaned into Blaine's embrace.

“Hey guys,” Finn said as he met Mercedes, David and Wes at the cafeteria. When Kurt had told him his plan about the wedding he and Rachel decided that they should secretly invite their three closest friends to join them.
“Hey, does Kurt have any clue that you called us,” Mercedes asked.
“Not a one, but we do need to throw a song or two together cause caroling for the other parents after the ceremony is actually a good idea,” David said.
Suddenly Rachel walked over to the table with their coffee order and smiled, “Kurt just sent me a text saying that they would be down to the day area a little after noon. So I paged the chaplain and he said he would be up there by then.”
“Awesome, Mom and Burt just called and said they are at the gift shop with Blaine's parents picking up a small thing of flowers so the grooms can at least have boutonnieres. It's eleven now why don't we go ahead and head up,” Finn said as everyone gathered their things and headed for the elevators.

“Here Carol,” Kurt wanted you to hold onto this Rachel said as she passed her the marriage license.
“Thanks sweetie, I remember the day I held on to you and Finn's,” Carol said slightly misty eyed.
“I can't believe it has been a year,” Finn said as he wrapped his arms around his wife.
“Hi I'm looking for the Anderson's and Hummel's,” a young man with dark hair, jeans, and black shirt said as he walked in to the room, “I'm Father Green.”
“Hi,” Burt said extending his hand, “I am so glad that you could help us out today.”
“My pleasure, my understanding is that this is a complete surprise to one of the grooms.”
“Yes, Blaine proposed about 8 months ago, but since Cole is a preemie they have really put everything on hold, and my son Kurt thought this would be an awesome idea.”
“I agree, and I can definitely take care of making this day special.”
“Hey guys, sorry to interrupt,” Robert spoke, “but they are walking down the hall.”

“I am so glad he is doing good”, Blaine said as he wrapped his arm around Kurt as they walked towards the day room.
“I know. It's going to be tough not being here with him tonight, but I feel a lot better about it knowing that not holding him is one step closer to going home.”
“Yeah, I definitely can't wait for that day,” Blaine said as they walked through the doors of the dayroom and were greeted by a roomful of their family and to both of their surprise friends.
“Merry Christmas,” Kurt said staring into Blaine's eyes.
“What is all this,” Blaine asked, “I thought we were just going to have dinner at home.”
“Well I have been a little sneaky, and the last week I have been secretly planning our wedding.”
“Our wedding, Kurt this is amazing,” Blaine was in awe of the transformation of the day room. The couches had been turned toward each other to make a makeshift aisle, and flower petals were scattered along long tablecloth that had been folded and laid out as a aisle runner. There was a small table off to the side slightly behind the minister that had three candles and a small bouquet of flowers on it, “I can't believe you guys did all this.”
“Blaine I love you, and I know that I have seemed rather indecisive lately on about when to have the wedding, but the other night when I watched you sing to Cole I fell in love with you all over again. I also knew at that moment that I did not want to spend another minute without you as my husband. So they have all helped me put this together, and I am asking you to marry me here today.”
“Kurt Hummel did you just propose,” Blaine smirked as he leaned in to kiss him before taking his arm to walk down the aisle, “because the answer is yes of course I will.”
