"Sam told us about the store closing." Nick told Blaine one day while the two friends were hanging out at Nick and Jeff's apartment, something that did not happen often but it did happen. Jeff was out doing whatever it was that Jeff did, Blaine didn't really know and Sam was at work.

"I'm not surprised, is he going to LA?" Blaine asked.

"I think so. Are you?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to?"

"Honestly?"

"Of course."

"I kinda think I should, I mean there are so many reasons to go and only one to stay."

"Kurt?"

"Yeah."

"Do you love him?"

"We've only been together for a few months."

"Don't bullshit me Blaine."

"Yes I love him."

"Then that's what matters."

"God, if only life was that simple Nick."

"It can be."

"Now who is bullshitting who?"

"You know I just realised when I asked if you wanted to go you said you thought you should not that you wanted to."

"So?"

Nick sighed.

"Let me show you something."

"Ok."

"Have you ever wondered why we bought a four bedroom apartment for three people?"

"Yes."

Nick led Blaine to the mysterious room the one Blaine knew nothing about other than it definitely wasn't a sex room. Nick pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door; he opened it and gestured for Blaine to go in.

"It's a nursery." Blaine observed looking around.

"Jeff set this up as soon as we moved in. He has always wanted to be a father, so have I but Jeff more so. Everyone told him as a gay man that would never happen but Jeff didn't care because he knew what he wanted. We decided pretty early on that we want to adopt and for years now we have been meeting with women who want to give up their unborn baby for adoption and for years we've been turned down, because we were too young or she wasn't comfortable giving her baby to two men. One time we were picked and we were so excited but at the last second she decided to keep the baby. We were devastated and I would have given up but Jeff refused to. A few months ago we met this young girl, she's just a teenager and....she's giving us her baby Blaine. She's due next week."

"That's fantastic Nick! Wait is that why you guys got married?" Blaine hugged his friend.

"Mostly we got married because it became unfathomable to us that we weren't married but yes it is easier to adopt a child when you are married."

"So you are saying I should stay so I can be around my niece or nephew?"

"Niece but no; I'm saying you need to take a page from Jeff's book and figure out what you want and then never let anyone stop you from getting it."

"He's a stubborn one that husband of yours."

"He is and thank god he is." Nick agreed.

"I know you were too proud to take it before but Blaine there is always a place for you here. Even if Sam decides to stay we could convert the office into a room for you. Just keep that in mind ok?"

"Ok."

"And remember it's not charity if it's family. And if you try to claim we aren't family I will punch you."

Blaine said goodbye to his friend and went home to try and figure out what he wanted. He had never had this problem before he was able to choose music over his parents because he knew that's what he wanted but that was when he was still just a kid, before he knew how hard it is to live without money. The apartment he had when he first moved to New York was at least ten times more expensive than it should have been, it was infested with mice and cockroaches, there were holes in the walls and both the electricity and hot water had a tendency to cut off. He had signed the lease sight unseen and soon realised that was a huge mistake especially after he went a few days without having money to buy food. That was when Nick and Jeff stepped in after that they made sure he always had food in his kitchen. Blaine didn't know for sure but he suspected they were the ones who got the building condemned and they were definitely the ones who reached out to Cooper and asked him to help Blaine out. And when he once again refused to move in with him it was Jeff who found out there was an apartment above the music store and suggested to Blaine that he ask Lexi if he could move in. They have already done so much for Blaine; he didn't want to push it, he didn't want them to get sick of him. So what is it that Blaine wants? He wants to have a career in music, he wants to finish Juilliard, he wants Kurt, and he wants to stay in New York. That sounds simple enough but life isn't simple. If he were to get a job at a coffee shop or something and moved in with Niff he could technically have all that. But after the baby arrives maybe Nick and Jeff would decide they didn't want him to live there with them and then where we he be? They had always been there for him in the past but then so had his parents until they realised they couldn't stand him, what if Nick and Jeff realised the same thing?
