By the time the new baby came, Damian was as excited as he had been when he asked for a baby sister on his fourth birthday. Kurt and Blaine were equally excited for their daughter's arrival. Madison Grace Anderson arrived just after two in the morning on Blaine's thirty-ninth birthday, a week and a half late and weighing in at nearly eight pounds.
Kurt and Blaine were both there for the birth. They had felt that Damian was still too young to be present, so he waited with his grandparents. When the baby was finally there and she was settled in with her daddies, the families were allowed in to fawn over her. A nurse came in to ask everyone to leave soon after and let them know that they were welcome to return when visiting hours started, so Kurt, Blaine and Damian were left with the newest addition to their little family.
“She's beautiful,” Kurt breathed as he held his daughter once more.
“She looks like you,” Blaine added.
Damian looked at her, contemplatively. “She's fat.”
Kurt and Blaine laughed. “She'll grow out of that. I've seen your baby pictures, D. You were about the same as her.”
“I was?”
Blaine nodded. “You were a little bigger than her. We'll have to pull your baby pictures out again so you can see.” Blaine lifted Damian off of his lap and shifted so that Damian was between him and Kurt. “Do you want to hold her?”
“Can I?” Damian asked, looking first at Blaine and then at Kurt.
“Of course you can,” Kurt told him. “You're her big brother.”
Blaine showed Damian how to hold his arms and Kurt gently placed the baby on Damian's lap, helping him support her. “I need a picture of this,” Blaine grinned.
Damian smiled for the camera before leaning down and placing a soft kiss on the baby's head. “I love you, Maddy,” he whispered.
Kurt and Blaine shared a smile and Kurt kissed him, whispering, “Happy birthday. Do you like your gift?”
“Best gift ever.” It was everything Blaine hadn't even realized he wanted until it was all right there in front of him. When he had posted the job listing nearly four years before, he hadn't been looking for the love of his life. Hadn't even been looking for love, really. But love had found him, and he thanked God every day that Kurt had answered his advertisement. He couldn't imagine one second of his life without Kurt in it.
