“In here babe,” Kurt called from their bedroom. He was laying on the middle of their bed reading a book, “How was work?”

“The kids are nuts, but I am so thankful that I was able to find this teaching job. So we didn't have to move. I love this apartment because we have had so many first's here, and it will be amazing to start raising our child here,” Blaine said as he laid down next to his partner, “How was your meeting today with Professor Adams?”

“It went well. He wants me to fill in as assistant music director for the next 6 weeks and then he wants me to come back after the baby is born to discuss more options.”

“That's exciting. I am so glad that he was looking for a former student to fill in for his assistant. It works out well for some extra cash,” Blaine said as he ran his hands over Kurt's growing belly and jumped when he felt a sharp thump to his hand.

“Someone here is trying to say hi to daddy,” Kurt giggled as Blaine jumped, “I can't wait until tomorrow.”

“I know I am so excited to find out what color we need to start painting the nursery,” Blaine whispered as he leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on Kurt's lips.

“Baby is measuring at about twenty three weeks which is right on time based on your due date. Everything looks really good, heartbeat is strong and right within the normal range. Also everything with the birth canal is looking wonderful. It should be fully developed in about three weeks. Did you want to know the sex,” Dr. Benatur asked.

“Yes,” Kurt said as he leaned up slightly to see the screen. He was so thankful for the young doctor. She had been an amazing support since they had found out that they were pregnant. And she was also the leading male pregnancy specialist in New York.

“Well if you look here you can see both legs,” she pointed to them on the screen, “and if you look right here you can clearly this little part sticking out here is his penis.”

“A boy,” Kurt couldn't believe it. He was so excited. He had wanted to have a boy first, and a girl second so that his daughter would have a little protector.

“Man, Burt is going to flip,” Blaine said as he helped Kurt up and reached for a towel to wipe off the blue sonogram gel.

“Did you guys have any questions?”

“Not today,” Kurt said grinning from ear to ear. He could not be more happy.

The nursery area was coming along beautifully. Finn and Blaine had spent one whole Saturday around Thanksgiving, while Kurt and Rachel were out shopping, painting part of the large bedroom a pale blue, and setting the crib up in the corner with privacy screens. Kurt had also purchased a small wooden chest for all of his clothes and slid it up under the crib.

“I am so glad the semester is over. Things have been hectic and it will be nice to be able for us to have some family time,” Blaine said as he walked in and saw Kurt sitting on the floor in their room folding clothes.

“Hey babe I heard a song today by Nat King Cole, and I was thinking that we should name our son Cole Hummel-Anderson,” Kurt smiled at Blaine as he continued folding baby clothes, “I like the ring that has.”

“What about Evan for his middle name,” Blaine asked.

“So Cole Evan Hummel-Anderson,” Kurt asked as he looked at Blaine.

“I love it.” Blaine said as he stood up, “Do you want to go get some pizza?”

“Sure,” Kurt said reaching out for Blaine to help him up.

Kurt loved Christmas in the city. The lit tree at Rockefeller Center was amazing. Not to mention that when he and Blaine had first moved to New York they used to spend the three weeks before Christmas break ice skating and studying for finals. He had wanted to go this year as a newly engaged couple, but that was before he had known about Cole.

The last few days he had been running around getting things together for the holiday, their families were planning on coming in and he wanted everything to be perfect, but when he woke up in the night to go to the bathroom that's when he noticed the cramping.

“Hey, are you okay,” Blaine whispered as he stirred and noticed Kurt wasn't in bed, but standing up looking out their window rubbing his stomach lightly.

“Yeah, I'm having a little pain. It's tight cramping,” he whispered. He could feel Cole kicking so he wasn't super worried about the baby, “It could be too the way Cole is moving. At 30 weeks he still has a lot of room to move around.”

“Here,” Blaine said guiding him back to sit on the bed to rub his back.

“That feels really good. I probably over did it out shopping today. Little man here is getting bigger and heavier everyday, and even though shopping has been insane since Thanksgiving I didn't realize how long I was going to have to be out or I would have tried to sit down more.

“Well a little pressure and back pain is normal,” Blaine said.

“Yah,” Kurt flinched as another sharp pain cut through him and a trickle of warm liquid dripped down his legs, “but I think my water just broke.”
