“Ive got a mile long list of things to do today Finn. I really dont have time to wash your lucky pants before the game tonight. Ive got to go grocery shopping, then to the fresh fruit and vegetable store and Ive got to pick up Burts prescription from the pharmacy.” Carole said as she bustled about, cleaning up the things from breakfast.

“But, mum! I really need them!” Finn moaned childishly.

Kurt wander into the kitchen having overheard the conversation. “Blaine and I could run some of those errands for you.”

“No, its okay honey. Thank you for the offer but Id prefer you took it easy.”

Kurt harrumphed a little. “Please? Im so bored of being stuck inside all the time. Cooper can come with us if thats whats your worried about.” Then he gave her the eyes. The eyes that everyone in the family dreaded getting because it meant that they wouldnt be able to say no to him.

“Oh alright then. But please be careful and take a break if you need to.” Carole warned.

“I will.” Kurt smiled at her. “Blaine! Cooper! Were going out to run some errands!” Kurt said excitedly.

The three boys running errands together was a trial. Cooper was being his usual childish self and fiddling with almost everything on the shelves, annoying Kurt so much that he sent Cooper with a list to the fruit and vegetable store. With Cooper out of the way grocery shopping was a much easier and peaceful experience.

Blaine of course still fussed over Kurt. He made sure that Kurt didnt reach up to anything on the high shelves and made sure that he was the one that was pushing the trolley. If Kurt hadnt been finding it so cute then he might have just punched Blaine. He hated feeling like an invalid, something everyone in his family was constantly making him feel. He, of course, knew that they meant well but he had an endless battle trying to avoid the urge to snap at them.

“Damn I really need the toilet.” Blaine muttered, looking conflicted. He knew Kurt would not like to be dragged to the toilet with him so that he could keep an eye on him.

“Just go Blaine. Im looking at rice. Its nothing risky. Go on. Before you pee yourself.” Kurt smirked.

“Ill be right back!” Blaine called over his shoulder as he headed away from Kurt.

Kurt let out a sigh of relief and went back to deciding on what types of rice to get. He selected a few different choices and moved to put them in the trolley. Except his grip was whimsical and they slipped out of his hands and fell to the floor. Kurt attempted to bend down to pick them up but because of his large distended abdomen he couldnt reach. His eyes widened as he realised that all the flexibility that he had pre-pregnancy was gone. He hadnt noticed this before because everything he needed was pretty much handed to him since he had got pregnant. 

Kurt found himself tearing up in the middle of the aisle as his mind wondered whether he would ever be as flexible as he had been. Desperately he tried to keep the threatening tears at bay. He refused to cry because he couldnt bend to pick up something in the supermarket. Nope, he wasnt going to cry.

“Hey, whats the matter?” Blaine asked as he approached.

He bent easily to pick up the packets of rice that were still on the floor and Kurt watched him with envy. Kurt used to be able to do that. He used to be one of the most flexible people in McKinley. Not now though. Now he was probably the least flexible person. But damn it he WASNT GOING TO CRY!

Of course then he start bawling in the middle of the supermarket.

Blaine looked at Kurt completely shocked having no idea why he had started to cry. He looked around trying to see if there might have been someone that had said something to him but there was no one that looked particularly threatening in the aisle, most just looked at Kurt in confusion. It wasnt every day that someone broke down while shopping.

Blaine immediately started to attempt to sooth Kurt but it was to no avail. Once the tears had started to flow they didnt seem to want to stop and Blaine was at a loss of what to do.

He whipped out his phone to text Cooper and get him back to the store. His brother came running at the text that hed received because all Blaine had said was that something was wrong with Kurt which had led Cooper to believe that the something wrong was to do with the baby or something. He ran up to them panting to get his breath back. Hed had to dump the fruit and vegetables he had brought because he didnt think that he would have enough time to pay for them in an emergency. The owner of the store was probably very pissed at him right now.

“Im going to take Kurt to the car. Could you finish up for me here?” Blaine asked.

“Yes of course. Just make sure that hes alright.” Cooper said, his serious side appearing.

Blaine nodded and gently led Kurt away and out of the supermarket. He ignored the weird stares as he went, instead choosing to try calm Kurt who was still crying loudly.

When they reached the car Blaine helped Kurt into the backseat and he sat in the back beside him, gathering the crying boy in his arms and attempting to figure out what was wrong.

“Baby, whats the matter? Why are you so upset?” A hint of desperation was in Blaines voice because he was desperate. He hated feeling powerless even though this whole pregnancy left Blaine pretty much powerless.

“I couldnt... I couldnt pick up the rice.” Kurt sobbed.

Blaine almost let out a laugh but luckily caught himself before he did. That would in no way help the situation.

“Oh baby, that doesnt matter.” He wiped at Kurts tears.

Kurt hiccuped. “I used to be flexible Blaine. I used to have control of my body. Now it just does its own thing and I cant even bend properly.”

“Thats because youre having a baby, Kurt. But you know what? When our beautiful little baby is born you will be able to get back into shape in no time. Youll be able to do all of that stuff again. This is just a temporary state. You are growing OUR baby and Kicker is more than worth it, dont you think?”

Kurt sniffled but rubbed a hand over his bump. He knew that Blaine was right. He couldnt wait till their baby was born. A little person that he loved so much already even though his body was going through a hard time. It would be all worth it when he held their baby in his arms for the first time.

Blaine passed Kurt a tissue which he used to wipe the tears from his eyes.

“Youre right, Blaine. Besides Ive got you to help me pick up anything from the floor. The view is pretty awesome too.” Kurt smirked.

Blaine was relieved that Kurt was out of the funk that he had been in. “Is this the horny side of pregnancy coming out?”

Kurt gave him and innocent look. “Do you think Cooper would be pissed off if we left him here?”

"Theres only one way to find out.”
