Kurt stroked his still flat belly as he looked into the full length mirror that Blaine and he had in their bedroom. He was only ten weeks and so far everything was going really well. This pregnancy was already proving to be different from his first pregnancy. There was very little morning sickness, mostly it was just a feeling of queasiness which passed quickly. Blaine and Kurt had agreed that they wouldnt tell anyone before they reached twelve weeks as was usual in any kind of pregnancy. It was thrilling keeping something like this to themselves. With Kurts pregnancy with Joey, his whole family knew before Blaine had even found out and it was something that Kurt still really regretted.
It was definitely different having Blaine by his side through everything. Blaine had come to every single appointment that Kurt had had so far and it looked like he was determined not to miss any of them. He hated that he hadnt been there right from the beginning with Joey and in a way he was trying to make that up to Kurt now, even though Kurt would never expect him to. It wasnt like it was actually his fault anyway. Kurt could have chosen to tell him a lot sooner than he had.
"Hey Kurt, Im leaving for college now." Connor called from the door to the apartment.
"Okay!" Kurt yelled back, before he heard the front door close and he was left alone all in the apartment.
It was still difficult for Kurt to get used to being in the apartment alone. He was so used to Joey being with him and even though he was only away for half a day, which was really no time at all it was still weird.
Of course there was plenty of things for Blaine to be getting on with. There was articles that he could work on for work and then of course there was giving the apartment a once over. Dont get him wrong Blaine helped out a lot with things like housework and cooking but with him going into college a lot of the bulk of the work went to Kurt, with the exception now of any heavy lifting.
Kurt start stripping his and Blaines bed and then Joeys ready to get the covers on the wash, though his mind was elsewhere. He was thinking about the scan that they had scheduled for two weeks from now when Kurt would be twelve weeks pregnant. He was so excited to be able to see their baby.

Blaine rubbed his eyes tiredly as Whitney was chatting to him about something. Honestly he was lost to the conversation now.
"Am I boring you that much?" Whitney asked, pouting.
"Of course not." Blaine tried to reassure her. "I just have a lot going on at the moment at home."
"Things not going very well with your boyfriend? You know we havent really talked about that and its been months."
"Whats there to talk about?" Blaine looked at her quizzically.
"Oh come on, surely you can feel the chemistry between us? Our singing was so perfect because we have this energy between us. I know you can feel it too."
Blaine gaped at her. He had no idea what she was on about. He didnt have chemistry with her, he couldnt have. Girls held no appeal to him. He was very definitely gay and had been ever since he could remember. Hed never even had an experience with girls in the way that Kurt had with Brittany.
"Whitney, look, youre a good friend but Im gay. Always have been and always will be. Im in a committed relationship and I have a family. There is nothing that is ever going to happen between us. Im sorry."
"Yeah okay. You can deny it but if youre ever curious…" She trailed off her sentence before she got up and walked away blowing Blaine a kiss.
Blaine stayed sat at the table, still trying to process what had just happened. He really couldnt believe what Whitney had said. He couldnt imagine where she had gotten that idea from because Blaines mind had never wandered in that sort of direction. The only person he really thought about romantically and sexually was Kurt. They had a child together and they were expecting another one. Why would he look elsewhere and especially with a woman?
Blaine decided that he wouldnt mention this to Kurt, they normally told each other most things but they had stated getting things on track and Kurt was in a delicate condition, he didnt want anything going wrong with this pregnancy. He knew that there were a lot more stresses in their life now than before and Blaine knew that he would have to step up more than he had before. Hed need to get more of a proper job, rather than just the odd music lesson that he gave. He knew that it meant that he would have to spend his free time carefully, as there wouldnt be as much of it as there had been. But Blaine didnt want to have to rely on others to look after his family. They already had his grandmother paying for their apartment and they were so thankful for that but everything else they had been able to just about handle themselves. With Kurts new job they were able to put some money aside for things like trips back home to see their parents and for taking Joey out places and of course for themselves to spend some time together. But with a new baby and Kurt probably going on some kind of maternity leave, they couldnt really rely on his wage.
And babies were expensive. Blaine hadnt really realised just how expensive they were until Joey actually arrived and they had been having to pay out for clothes that were grown out of in what seemed like two seconds and then there was food, milk and diapers. Blaine had thought that most of the cost would be for the big items which they had bought before Joeys arrival but the other costs were soon piling up. Thankfully they had their parents that helped them and Blaine had his job at Burts garage but they were still having to scrimp and save.
Blaine had been looking all around for a job that morning, checking the local newspaper and dropping into some of the stores near and around the NYU campus. A few of them said that they would look over his application but most said that they were sorry but they didnt need anyone at that time. It was frustrating to say the least. When they had been back in Ohio, Burt had just given Blaine the job at the garage, without Blaine even having any experience. Of course Blaine knew it wasnt going to be as easy as it was then but he had been hopeful that he would at least be able to get a little something. He knew he wasnt being very patient but he didnt really have any time to mess around. Kurt was already ten weeks pregnant, and that only left thirty more weeks for them to get all the stuff that they would need .

Blaine got in a little later than he would normally, having trawled the street looking for more opportunities of a job with no luck. Opening the door, the diheartned feeling he had gotten from his failure to find employment lifted, as he smelt their dinner of spaghetti and meatballs cooking and heard the chatter of his son and Kurt.
"Papa!" Joey called excitedly as he noticed Blaine at the door.
Blaine grinned as he met the eyes of Kurt. There was a glow to Kurt that was easy to see, although no one else would probably even notice. It reminded Blaine what this was all about. Their family. Kurt, Joey and the new baby that both of them loved so much already. Blaines eyes flicked down to Kurts stomach, where there would eventually be proof of their second child.
"Youre later than usual." Kurt said, as Blaine sat down at the table with his boys.
"I started looking for a job. I figured an extra income would come in handy." Blaine explained.
Kurts eyes shone with pride that always made Blaine feel great about himself. He wanted his family to be proud of him, he wanted to do right by them and help to look after them.
"Just dont overwork yourself. We need you at you best." Kurt gave him one last secretive smile, before they were both pulled in to what Joey was doing with his chatter.
Their family was perfect and Blaine wouldnt change anything about it.
