Aria’s 2nd Birthday.
It was February 26, 2015 our daughter Aria’s second birthday, it was also her twin sister Elizabeth’s birthday, and she didn’t make it through her first night. It’s been a rough two years for us, Kurt and I had gotten married about four months after their birth, and we couldn’t be happier. We were sitting on our couch with our daughter watching some T.V. after everyone had left from her second birthday party. She was falling asleep fast, she was so worn out from the excitement of seeing her cousins and aunts and uncles. I looked at my husband, Aria was snuggled right up to him and his arm wrapped around her. Since the day she was born Kurt has been an amazing father and it warms my heart to see him with her, she makes him so happy…she makes us so happy. I smiled at Kurt, looking at our daughter smiling. “What are you thinking about Kurt?” I asked.

He smiled “I’m just thinking about the day they were born, and how lucky we are to have her.” He looked at me “It’s funny, how quickly life can change, one minute we were thinking you needed your appendix out and the next, and we’re parents.”

I nodded “I know…it’s crazy. It seems like yesterday, we were watching her grow in the NICU.”

Kurt was softening her curls I smiled at him “You’re an amazing father you know that?”

He chuckled “I know, you tell me it everyday.” He smiled “You are too you know.” He sighed “Let’s go put her to bed, and we can watch the news okay?”

I nodded. We brought her into her room and gave her a kiss on the cheek “Good night Aria, I love you.”

We put the baby monitor on and grabbed ours from our room and went into the living room. I snuggled against my husband. He was quiet, usually he talks a lot during the news, making fun of the anchors outfits. “Are you okay babe?”

He nodded “Yeah, just thinking.”

“About what?”

He sighed “Well, we’re doing well right now, we got the house, we wanted in New York. My fashion line is going strong and you’re doing well with your music and you’re small role on Broadway. Do you think-“ He shook his head “Forget it.”

I muted the news “No, what is it?”

He shook his head “It’s crazy forget it.”

I made him look at me “Kurt Michael, what is it?”

“I uh…” He sighed “Iwantohaveanotherbaby.” He rushed out.

I chuckled “I didn’t get a single thing you said Kurt, say it slowly so I can understand.”

He sighed “I want to have another baby.” He said quietly.

I looked at him wide-eyed “You want to have another baby?”

He stood up sighing “See I told you it was stupid, Aria’s only two and we’re just settling down a-“

“Me too.”

He looked at me “Huh?”

I pulled him back down on the couch and took his hands in mine “I want to have another baby too.”

He looked at me with wide eyes. “Y-you do?”

I nodded “Mhm.” I smiled “I’ve always wanted a big family. I want to have another child Kurt, another child for us to love unconditionally.”

He kissed me softly “I love you so much Blaine.”

I smiled “I love you too Kurt.”

He smiled “So…we’re trying?”

I nodded with tears in my eyes “Yes, we’re trying.”

He smiled tearfully at me “I love you so much Blaine.”

“I love you too Kurt.”

He lifted his head up, bringing two fingers under my chin. He smiled at me before leaning forward to kiss me softly. Our lips met sweetly, his hand moving around to cup, my neck, pulling us closer together.

Moving our lips together languidly, I shuffled closer, bringing my feet up under him to sit more comfortably as Kurt’s tongue dipped between my lips, forcing its way into my mouth. I sucked teasingly, feeling Kurt smile against my mouth, but we continued kissing, my hand fisting at the top of his shirt.
“I love you.”

I smiled at him “I love you too Kurt, so much.”
Kurt kissed me hard again, sucking on his bottom lip as he wrapped his hand under my knee, dragging it over his waist.

“Oh,” I laughed, shuffling to fully straddle Kurt’s hips.
Kurt angled his head to catch my lips in a kiss. He kept it slow at first, almost chaste, but as I drifted closer, as soft sounds escaped his mouth, I reeled him in. I dragged my tongue along his lower lip; not biting down like I wanted to but it was a close thing. I knew I was making sounds of my own, whimpers and moans, but it felt so fucking good to be close to Kurt, to be able to run my hands through the gorgeous curls I love, to grip Darren’s broad shoulders and align our chests, our hips...

He pulled back and looked at me. "Blaine Joseph, I need you in our bed now."

I took his hand grabbing the baby monitor and we went to our bedroom, kissing the whole way there. We sat on the bed and Kurt cradled the back of my head in his hand as we kissed, and then gently lowered me back onto the bed, following me.

"I love you so much," Kurt whispered against my lips. "It almost hurts I love you so much."

I kissed him again.

"I love you too. Just as much, Kurt. It’s been three amazing years and I still can't completely believe that you're mine."

Kurt kissed me again.

“Clothes,” I gasped out, as Kurt pressed biting kisses along his neck.

“Yeah,” Kurt agreed, pulling back. He started on his button on his shirt as I sat up enough to pull my simple t-shirt off. We fell back together as soon as the shirts and pants flung to the side, I was on top this time, and I moaned at the feeling of Kurt’s skin pressed against his own. It had been so long since we’d done this, with Aria still not completely sleeping through the night she hasn’t been until recently. I ran my hands over his chest, marveling at the coarse hair, I ran my tongue down his chest, making my own marks into Kurt’s collarbone. So he did, pushing me back on the bed, straddling me. He trailed kisses over my chest.

Kurt's mouth latched onto one of my nipples, then and I just barely restrained my yell to a breathless grunt. The wet heat made my nipple tighten, and when he sucked gently, it made me grab a hold of my husband, just to make sure he never, ever moved from this spot. He shifted then, attending to my other nipple in the same fashion, with wet, sucking heat that had me mindlessly thrusting up as best I could against his solid weight. He pulled me up to kiss him, making my breath stutter. Winding our legs together, Kurt smoothed his fingers down my chest and looked at me lovingly. I kissed him

“Kurt” I moaned. “I- need you.”

He kissed me softly before he reached into the nightstand and grabbed the lube and set it within reach and started kissing me again.

I scratched down my husbands back. "God...I've missed this, baby..."

"Me too...so, so much.” He sighed kissing my neck softly
He ran his fingertips up and down my member slowly.
I writhed under my husband. "Fuck! God...Kurt..."

"Blaine, you're so beautiful baby.." he whispered, wrapping his hand around my member and watching intently as he slowly worked his hand up and down it.

"Kuuurt...baby...please..." I moaned

He released my cock before grabbing the lube.
I felt my husband’s hand crept to my perineum, where he rubbed his thumb for a few long moments. I shook, just a little, pressing down into Kurt's slick digits, wanting more of it.

I tried to make him penetrate me, craving the knowledge that Kurt was inside of me in some small way, clenching down around nothing and hating it, and groaned in frustration, I really needed him now.

“Wait a second baby, wait." Kurt soothed, and he brushed back his sweat-damp curls. His lube-free hand slid under my hips, tapping at them. I realized what my husband wanted and tilted my hips up, letting him slide a pillow underneath for better access.

"Oh…please baby," I begged, more than ready for him. He gave me one last kiss, lingering, and I turned up into it, unclenching my fists so I could wind my arms around Kurt's neck. "Please, Kurt? "I asked again.

He pressed his first finger against my entrance in response, then pushed it home.

My entire body jerked and my breath fell out of me in a whine. Kurt's finger was twisting inside me, soft and slick and I kept clenching around it, throwing my head back. I had no defense against the pleasure that just the thought that my husband was inside me even a little brought and had no way of coping with the way my skin seemed to flare where Kurt was touching me. After months of going without him I needed more.

"God, Baby" he said in awe. "I’ve missed you so much! I’ve missed this. ” He leaned down, mouthing and my neck little sparks of pleasure that just joined those already gathering in my groin. I didn't say anything besides moaning, long and broken, gripping my husband as though that would steady me.

"Another," I gritted out, wriggling my ass a little as I got used to the overwhelming sensation of Kurt inside him. He smeared still more lube at my entrance and then slipped in his second finger. This time, I had to shut my eyes tight for a second before I could push back against his digits; it had been three months since I’d done this.
He started up a proper rhythm, fucking me with his fingers, much to my gratification as I met him on each thrust. It took a moment or two, but we got the hang of how to meet each other halfway. I figured out how to brace myself to follow my husband’s finger-fucking, while Kurt could feel it as he found out that steadying his thrusts was easy if he rested his thumb against my perineum, which had the added effect of making me shudder with each movement. He added a third finger and he knew he needed to find my prostate He looked for it until-

“Ohmygodbaby!”

He smiled he’d found it, he thrust with more purpose, rubbing over my prostate every time he did so until I was holding onto our bed and letting my husband do as he pleased as I simply tried to hold things together.

“I need you!”

He lined himself up at my entrance before leaning forward and kissing me softly. "I love you.” he said, placing a hand on my cheek.

"I love you too, Kurt...So, so much..."

He slowly pressed into me, moaning softly as he felt the tight heat surround him.

I winced at the stretch. But damn, did I love it.

"Are you okay?" he whispered, stopping as he saw my face.

"It's...been so...so long... “I sighed “I'm okay...” I assured him.

He nodded softly before slowly pushing all the way in moaning “God!”

He looked at me “M-move.”

He pulled almost all the way out and then back in groaning, kissing me softly as he slowly slid in and out of me, pulling me closer.

I tangled my fingers in my husband's hair, moaning against Kurt’s lips.

"I love you…I love you so much ..." he whispered against my lips as he slowly rolled his hips.

“Fuck!” I moaned “I love you too baby!”

He slid his hands down to grab my hips as he sped up his movements, kissing his jaw as I panted beneath him.

"You're so beautiful...” He gasped.

I brought my hips up, meeting his thrusts.

I was nearly sobbing with pleasure; I’d missed this so much. “Oh god Kurt, Baby! Harder!”

He pumped into me faster, angling himself to brush across that bundle of nerves inside of him.

I cried out with the overwhelming pleasure. "Kurt...Fuck…Baby...God...”

"Fuck baby, you feel so fucking good.” He moaned, burying his face in the crook of my neck.

He repeatedly hit the spot making me nearly sob with pleasure. “Fuck! I’m close baby!”

He reached between us and took my cock into his hand, pumping quickly in time with his thrusts.

I gasped loudly. “Kurt! Baby! Fuck!" I moaned as I came heavily between them.

He felt my muscles clench around him and he cried out, clutching to me as he came inside of me riding out his orgasm.

He pulled out of me and held me close “I love you baby.” He whispered.

“I love you too.” I breathed out, tearing up and clutching to my husband.

He kissed my tear as one fell from my own eye. “I’ve missed you, so much.”

I let my tears fall and said “I missed you too.”

“I-I love you Blaine.”

“I love you too Kurt.” I kissed him softly and we fell asleep wrapped in each others arms.

Two weeks after Kurt and I had started trying...I decided it was time to take a test. Aria was asleep and Kurt would be home from the studio soon. I went to the bathroom with the test in hand. I took the test and sat on the toilet waiting for those five minutes to be over, they were the five longest minutes of my life. I looked at the test and started to cry, I saw the little pink plus sign. I was pregnant again, Kurt and I were going to be father’s again I spent the next few hours after she picked up my daughter to prepare for my husbands arrival. I took out the sparkling cider and put roses on the bed smiling. Kurt walked in the door a few hours later “Honey, I’m home!”

I was waiting for him in the kitchen holding a glass of sparkling cider, with dinner on the table. He smiled “What’s up with this?”

I smiled “What, can’t a man just enjoy a candle light dinner with his husband and not be judged?”

He chuckled “Yes, I suppose. Where’s Aria?”

“Oh, Mercedes and Finn have her for the night. They wanted to take her out and spend some time with her.”

He nodded “Oh, okay then.” He sat down at the table.

I smiled “Well, there is a special reason why this is all going on…”

He looked at me curiously. “Oh?”

“We’re going to be parents again.”

He looked at me “Are you serious?”

I nodded “Mhmm.”

He stared “You’re not kidding?”

“Nope, took the test this morning.”

He smiled tearfully “Y-you’re pregnant?”

I nodded “I’m pregnant.”

He jumped out of his chair and kissed me and held me close and cried. “Oh my god, we’re going to be daddies again.”

“Yeah baby, we’re going to be daddies again.”

“I love you so much.”

“I love you too.”

He looked at me “We’re going to be parents again.”

I nodded kissing his forehead. “Yes”

He put his hand on my stomach and kissed me softly.

~~~~

My pregnancy has gone smoothly, well…if you forget the horrible morning sickness and my mood swings that had me walking out the door and Kurt sleeping on the couch some nights. Aria knows that I’m having a baby, but she doesn’t quite get it and she’s a little upset that she can’t fit on my lap anymore. Despite all of this, I am over the moon. I love being pregnant, I’m going through so much more than I did with the girls. I can actually feel our child moving and kicking. I remember Kurt’s face when he felt our child kick for the first time. It was something I’d never forget.

Here I am now nearly eight and a half months pregnant and I’m off of work now, well I’m still writing music, it’s weird I’ve gotten a lot of great hits since I got pregnant again. It’s probably the hormones.

Kurt’s parents have come into town so they can be here for the birth of our child. I honestly don’t think I’d be able to have the baby without them.

Kurt and I have been going to Lamaze classes since my second month along. We both decided that we wanted to have our child naturally with no drugs unless it was really necessary. We were still in the process of deciding what we wanted to do as of a water birth or a regular birth.

“Baby, I don’t know if the water birth is such a good idea.” Said Kurt.

I sighed “And why is that?”

He sighed “Uh because it wouldn’t be as hands on as the regular birth would be. And especially with you being high risk anyway.”

I sighed and shook my head “Kurt, sweetie. It would be so much more relaxing for me if we did it that way. I was so uncomfortable on that hospital bed.”

”And you think that lying against a tub would be more comfortable?”

I sighed “I don’t know babe. We’ll figure it out when the time comes I suppose. We need to also keep in consideration what happened last time Kurt.”

“Here we go again…”

“Kurt Michael Anderson! I can’t even believe you right now!”

He sighed “Blaine, how many times do we have to go through this…the odds of what happened to Elizabeth happening to this baby is one in a million.”

I shook my head “Oh yeah, like the odds of me getting pregnant? Face it Kurt, this family is known for facing the odds!”

“Blaine! It’s not going to happen again! Stop being such a child about it!”

“Wow Kurt. Yes, I am clearly the child being concerned about the well-being of our unborn child. Fuck you Kurt!” I got off the couch and went into our room shutting the door behind me.

I heard Kurt curse “Fuck.”

I shook my head looking at the pictures on our dresser. There were pictures from us in high school and picture of our wedding and of course our children. A picture of our daughters together and of our daughters separately. I looked at the picture of Elizabeth touching it and tears came to my eyes. I only met her for a brief moment but I missed her so much, I haven’t been the same since I lost my daughter.

I laid on my bed holding my pillow to my chest and cried. I heard Kurt knock on our door. “Blaine, baby are you okay?”

I sniffled “Go away Kurt!”

“Baby, are you crying?”

I sighed “I said go away Kurt! I don’t want to talk to you right now okay?!”

He sighed “Okay, fine. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I heard another knock at our door I sighed “I said go away Kurt!”

“D-daddy?”

I wiped my eyes as I saw my daughter poke her head into our room. “What’s wrong baby girl?”

“You and Da loud!”

“Did we scare you?”

She nodded. I sighed opening my arms to her “Come here Aria.”

She ran into my arms, I pulled her onto our bed She looked at me “Daddy, why you crying?”

I sighed thinking how do you explain this to a two year old? “I’m just mad at your father that’s all. Why don’t you go see if Nana and Poppa will take you to the park for a little while okay?”

“Okay Daddy.” She hugged me. “I love you.”

I kissed her head “I love you too Aria.”

She walked out of our room calling my parent-in-laws names. I smiled and then remembered why I was really crying in the first place and just hugged my pillow again crying. Kurt knocked softly on the door. “Blaine baby, can I come in?”

I sighed “If you’re done being an inconsiderate asshole yes, if not then fuck off.”

He sighed and walked into the room and sat on our bed. “I’m sorry baby…”

I didn’t even look at him or say anything. “Yeah, well, this isn’t the first time you’ve said it Kurt.”

He put his hand on my shoulder. “I know…I’m sorry Blaine.” He sighed “I just haven’t been thinking about how you’re doing with all this.”

I looked at him “You’re right, you haven’t. You have no fucking idea how hard this is for me Kurt! “

I sobbed “You have no fucking clue how scared I am about giving birth to this child after what happened to Elizabeth. And for you to just stand there and tell me I’m being childish about being worried about it. I didn’t think you were that person Kurt. That’s not the person I married. If anything you should be comforting me about it and not telling me I’m being a fucking child about it!”

Kurt had tears rolling down his cheeks. “I am so sorry Baby.” He pulled me close and I allowed him to. “I’m scared too.”

I looked at him. “I can’t live through losing another child Kurt. I just can’t.”

He looked at me. “Don’t you talk like that Blaine Joseph Anderson, you hear me?”

I sighed “But what if I do…”

“You won’t! I promise you that. I won’t let that happen baby.”

I looked at him smiling there he was, the Kurt I married was back. “I love you so much.”

He smiled “I love you too Blaine.”

I looked at Elizabeth’s picture and started crying again “Hey…shh, what’s wrong?”

“I miss her…s-so much.”

He held me close “I know baby, I know. I miss her too. She’s watching over us you know. She’s our little guardian angel. She won’t let anything bad happen to her little brother or sister and neither will her grandma.”

“It’s been two years…w-why does it still h-hurt so much?”

He kissed my forehead “Because she’s a part of us, and part of our heart left with her, it’s going to hurt for a long time. But it’s going to get easier baby, I promise.”

I looked at him “I love you so much Kurt, I wouldn’t have been able to make it through it without you.”

“I love you too baby. Why don’t you take a little nap, while I make dinner okay?”

I nodded “Okay.” I kissed him and he gave me a kiss and left to make dinner. I held Kurt’s pillow close to me and I fell asleep. I woke up to a pain in my side. I groaned I knew what it was from the first time “Oh no...” I whimpered. It came back again “Kurt!” I called. “Kurt Baby! Come here!”

He came running into our room. “What’s wrong?”

“I just had two contractions.”

His face paled. “Fuck. Okay. Lay down I’m gonna call my parents and have them drop Aria off at Mercedes and Finn’s and put the bag in the car so when it’s time to go we can just go okay?”

I nodded and he left to do what he said. I looked down at what I was wearing, jeans and a sweater, that’s not gonna work. I got into a t-shirt and sweatpants, called the doctor and got into bed. Trying to concentrate on my breathing but also thinking about the fight I had with Kurt could that be a reason why I’m having contractions? I shook my head “No Blaine, stop thinking like that.”

Kurt came back in a few minutes later with his phone and some water. “Okay, so my parents are dropping off Aria and they’re going to come back here. Everything is in the car do you want me to call the doctor?”

I shook my head “N-no, I called the doctor and Kate, she’s already at the hospital with another delivery.”

He nodded “Okay.” He smiled at me “Do you want anything, something to drink, more pillows?”

I shook my head “N-no, I’m okay.” I looked at him “Just need you.”

He nodded and got into bed with me and pulled me to his chest and held my hands. “I’ve got you baby, I’m not going anywhere. Just tell me when your contraction starts and when it stops okay?”

I nodded “Thank you Kurt and I will. I love you so much.”

He kissed my forehead “I love you too Blaine.” He smiled “You know what I did while I was waiting for dinner to cook?”

I nodded “Sure.”

“Information on water birth and water labor.”

I looked at him “Are you serious?”

He nodded ‘Yeah, apparently it’s relaxing for you and could help you with your back pain. Since you were in a lot of pain last time and I couldn’t help you much last time, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.”

I sniffled “Kurt…I-I love you so much. Thank you baby.”

He kissed me softly “You’re welcome.”

I gripped his hand “FUCK! Start! Oh god!”

He pushed the button and started and massaged my shoulders breathing with me through the contraction. I let out a shaky breath after it passed “Stop.”

“You’re doing great Blaine.”

I nodded and asked “S-so what did you find out?”

He held me rubbing my back “Well, that gravity can work in our favor, standing or kneeling helps the baby drop.”

I nodded “We-we know that already but okay.”

He smiled “Also, a lot of birthing tubs have massage jets that you can use on your back during labor and turned off during birth.”

I smiled, that’s good “Well, that can definitely work for us, because of my horrible back labor.”

He kissed my forehead “That’s my thoughts exactly.”

I groaned “FUCK, Start Kurt.” I cried as another contraction hit.

He started the clock and went back to massaging my back, whispering encouraging things in my ear. I sighed “S-stop.”

We heard a knock at our bedroom door. I looked up “M-mom?”

Carole came inside smiling “Hi sweetie how are we doing?”

I sighed “I don’t know, I’m not sure how far apart the contractions are but they are stronger than they were with the twins.”

Kurt nodded “Well, they’re about seven or eight minutes apart now, so we’ll be ready to go soon.” Kurt looked at me “Is there anything you want baby?”

I nodded and looked at Kurt. “C-can you hold me, please?”

He nodded “Of course I can.”

I turned my body towards him and rested my head on his chest. “T-thanks.”

Carole smiled “Well, give me your phone Kurt, so I can time his contractions and you can focus on him.”

I whimpered clutching his shirt, another contraction hit “S-start Mom.”

He rubbed my back in soothing circles “Breathe with me sweetie, in and out.”

I nodded against him tears threatening to fall but I held them back and breathed with my husband. I sighed “Stop.”

She smiled, “Well, according to this, that was about five minutes from the last.”

I groaned “Ugh that means I have to move.”

My husband chuckled “Come on baby, do you want me to carry you to the car?”

I sighed, not really caring anymore “If you want to.”

Kurt lifted me up in his arms and carried me to the car, we got into the backseat and I rested my head on his lap. Burt looked behind at us “Don’t worry son, we’ll be there soon.”

I nodded “Just, don’t kill us.”

Burt laughed and pulled out of the driveway.

I was now in tears from the pain wrapped in my husband’s arms “It’s okay, we’ll be there soon.”

I was taking in huge gulps of air while I wasn’t busy whimpering in pain. Kurt held my hand and spoke quiet, comforting words whenever I cried out in pain from a contraction.

We arrived at the hospital in record time, and they knew we were coming so I was checked in immediately and was hooked to the heart monitor and IV and everything else.

I was lying in a blue hospital gown holding my husbands hand waiting for the doctor to come and check me. The doctor that delivered Aria and Elizabeth, Doctor Peters came in smiling. “Well, hello Blaine, let’s see where we are okay?”

I nodded. Doctor Peters checked me and looked up at us as she took off her gloves. “You are only at three right now Blaine.”

I looked at her in shock “Excuse me? Only three?! How the hell am I only three when the contractions I’m having are so intense now?”

She sighed “Well, Every birth is different, sometimes they go fast and some they go slow, the twins went surprisingly fast because you were put on medication.”

Kurt looked at her concerned “Is this something we should be concerned with, that he’s only at three?”

She shook her head “Not at all, it just means that this baby is probably going to take it’s time coming.”

Kurt nodded “Okay.”

She smiled “I’ll be back soon to check on your progress.”

We nodded and she left. I looked at my husband “Three?! Only three fucking centimeters!?”

He sighed “I know baby, I can’t believe it either, and it’s going to be okay.”

“Kurt! Fuck!” I gasped as another contraction ripped through my body; he took my hand squeezing it tightly and sat beside me rubbing my back trying to soothe me.

I sighed as it passed “I have a feeling I’m going to be in more pain than I was with the twins, so I am apologizing in advance for anything I may say to you.”

He chuckled “Don’t you worry I know you don’t mean it.” He kissed my head “Do you want anything?”

I sighed “I don’t know, it just fucking hurts!”

He rubbed my back, “I know sweetie, I know.”

I looked at him “Where’s Kate?”

He smiled “She’s on her way.”

I nodded and gripped his hand as another contraction hit. “Fuck!”

A few minutes later Kate, our midwife walked in. “Hello guys.” She looked at Blaine “How are you holding up?”

I sighed “Well, I’m at three now, but the contractions are a lot stronger than they were with the girls.”

She nodded “Okay, have you guys done anything yet, the ball, walked?”

I shook my head “No, we haven’t.”

Kurt sighed “They’re pretty close together though Kate.”

I nodded “W-would it be possible for me to do something about my back pain. I know the ball is good and so it the tub, but which do you recommend?”

She smiled “Yes, we can definitely do something for you, we can do either.”

I looked at Kurt “What do you think Babe?”

He sighed “Well, the warm water might help you relax. But also, I’m not sure how much you want to move.”

I nodded “Let’s try that then.”

Kurt got into his bathing suit and he and Kate helped me into the birthing tub. I sighed “Oh god, this feels so good.”

Kurt kissed my neck. “You’re doing amazing Blaine. I’m so proud of you.”

“I love you Kurt.”

“I love you too.”

After a while the position I was in started to bother me. “Kurt.” I gasped out as a contraction hit.

“Shh, breathe in and out.” He whispered in my ear.

I breathed and then looked at Kate. “Can you help me out of here please?”

“Yes of course.”

They helped me out of the tub and I went back to the bed and laid down.

Kate looked at me “Okay, well, why don’t you try to get a little sleep while things are still slow and you’ll have more energy when things are moving faster?”

I nodded ‘O-okay.”

She smile “Okay, I’ll check on you in a little bit.’’

We nodded “Thanks Kate.”

I smiled at Blaine, on my right. “Lay with me?”

He smiled “Of course love.”

He got up behind me and wrapped his arms around me and I eventually fell asleep. I woke up a little later to a particular twinging and peaking contraction that woke me up. ”Oh god,” I gasped out, clutching the side of the rail and I tried to focus. Breathe Blaine breathe, let Kurt sleep.

The contraction ebbed, and finally, I was able to relax. Of course he heard my gasp of pain though. “Hi, sweetie, how are you feeling?”

“That was a big one, holy fuck.” I whimpered. “I forgot it hurt this much.”

“Shh, well we slept for nearly three hours.”

I nodded “You want to go get the doctor and she can see how dilated I am now?”

He nodded “Yeah, unless you want me to stay and I can have mom go look?”

I groaned “I don’t- GOD!” After it passed “On second thought, have mom do it, I need you Kurt, my water just broke.”

He nodded and Carole brought Doctor Peters with her. “Okay, Blaine, let’s see where we are here.” She smiled “Well, you are now nearly five. So, halfway there. I’ll be back in a little while.”

I nodded, I was making progress, this was good. I looked at my husband “Do you think you could help me get onto the ball, my back is killing me from the position I slept in?”

He took my hands and helped me up while my mom rolled the birthing ball over to us. I winced as I stood. Kurt got a concerned look on his face. “What’s wrong contraction?”

I shook my head “No, I’ve just been in that bed too long that’s all.”

He sat me on the ball and got me into position pressing my forehead on the ball while I rocked and he massaged my back. “How does this feel baby?”

I sighed “Good, really nice.”

I gripped the sheets as a contraction hit me groaning softly.

Kate came in a few minutes later. She sighed “Well, Doctor Peters says that you’re progressing, but very, very slowly.”

Kurt looked at her “What do you suggest?”

Kate looked at me “Blaine, do you like being on the ball?”

I nodded “Yeah, it takes the pressure off of my back.”

She smiled “Okay, do you remember the position we used the
other day when rest on your knees and hug the ball?”

I nodded “Yeah?”

“It will help with your back pain and speed up your contractions.”

“Let’s do it.” He helped me up and Kate put a pillow on the floor so I could rest my knees on it. “How’s that?”

“Good, that feels so much better” I told him with a tired sigh. I moaned as another contraction peaked and reached for my husband’s hand as I hugged the ball with my other hand and I swayed back and forth on the ball.

“God, Kurt” I whimpered. “This hurts.”

“I know baby I know.”

Kurt sat behind me hands firmly on my lower back. I had been having a lot of pain there and hopefully the massage
would help, “How’s that feel?”

I winced slightly, and then relaxed, letting out a soft moan. ”Nice,” I murmured with a nod.

“Kurt?”

He kissed my back “What?”

I sighed “I’m scared, the baby’s taking so long!”

He shushed me “It’s okay baby, Doctor Peter’s said it wasn’t anything to worry about.” He laughed “The baby must be like me and wants to make a dramatic entrance.”

I chuckled and gasped gripping the sheets on the bed so hard my knuckles turned white. “Kurt! Oh god!”

“Breathe through it Blaine, in through the nose out through your mouth.”

I did as he said then started to cry “Kurt! It’s not helping anymore!"

“You’re getting close baby, it won’t be long now.”

I sighed “I can’t do this anymore Kurt, I’m so tired!”

“I know baby, I know.” He kissed my neck.

Kate came in with some ice chips a few minutes later. “I come bearing gifts!”

I laughed “Yay! Ice chips!”

She handed the cup to Kurt and he fed me a couple. “Well, it’s been a little while since you’ve been checked, so let’s see how you’re doing.” She checked my progress

“Well, you’re at six now Blaine, it won’t be too much longer now, maybe a few hours.”

I nodded “Okay.” I looked at Kurt, “You wanna bring your
dad in, I haven’t seen him since we got here.”

He nodded “Sure baby, I’ll get him and mom.” He kissed my
forehead and went to go get them. He came back a moment later with his parents.

Carole walked over to me and kissed my forehead “Hi sweetie, how are you holding up?”

“I’m closer I’m at six now, the contractions are stronger and it h- Oh god…Kurt! Baby I need you!”

“Breathe sweetie breathe.” He said as he rubbed my back.

I whimpered “It hurts so bad…holy shit.”

“You’re almost there sweetie. You’re water has broken right?”

I nodded “Yeah.”

Kurt smiled “He’s been doing great Mom, he’s progressing slowly, really slowly, but he’s progressing.”

He looked at me as I closed my eyes tightly breathing through the strongest contraction I’d had yet. “Don’t hold it in sweetie, scream cry whatever you need.”

I shook my head “I’m fine.” I whimpered.

Carole smiled at me. “A shower helps sometimes,”

We looked at her confused as she continued “you’ll be standing up so gravity will work in your favor.”

He looked at me “Do you want to try it baby?”

I whimpered “I’m honestly up for anything right now.”

He nodded and looked at mom and dad “We’ll try it and see what happens.”

They nodded and Burt said “Ok, well I’m pretty sure this will help the baby drop so I will see you after the baby is born.”

I nodded “Okay Dad.”

He hugged me “Good luck Blaine, love you.”

I smiled ‘I love you too.”

They walked out of the room and Kurt helped me into the shower. He moved his hands gently against my skin and softly whispered “Breathe with me okay baby? Don’t think about the pain just think about us in this moment, and out love. Let me know if you feel like you need to push or you feel any pressure okay?”

I nodded not knowing how I wouldn’t think about the pain considering that’s all I’ve known for the past five or six hours, I don’t know how long I’ve been here actually. But I trusted him.

With that said he slowly began kissing his way up my neck. He met my lips in a deep kiss. He massaged my shoulders and encouraged me to breathe through each contraction as he continued to kiss me gently and intimately focusing on nothing but me and relieving my pain. “How are you doing baby? Talk to me.”

I sighed “Hurts Kurt.” I cried “Hurts so bad.”

“I know baby, its okay to cry you know baby.”

There came a moment when a soft groan escaped my lips and my eyes widened there was so much pressure. “Oh my god Holy shit!” I cried out grasping my stomach.

“You okay?”

“Pressure, holy shit Kurt!” I rested my head on his
shoulder.

“Shh okay.” He whispered as he turned the water off and wrapped himself then me in a towel and carried me to the bed and helped me get comfortable

“How’s that feel,” He asked as he continued the soothing massage on my back as he sat behind me,

I curled up closer to Kurt and tried to focus on the breathing as my husband coached me.

“Mmhm Better- yea, wait no pain- Fuck!” I cried out as I squeezed my eyes shut and tears rolled down my cheeks as I finally gave into urge to cry.

“Do you feel like you need to push?”

I nodded “Oh god…Kurt! I need to push, like now- pressure- so much pressure Kurt! So much pressure,” I sobbed, shaking my head “It hurts, Babe- it hurts so bad!”

He shushed me “It’s okay baby, I know.”

“I need mom Kurt.”

“I texted her she’s getting Kate and she’ll come in.”

A moment later Carole came in with Kate in tow. Kate
quickly checked me “You’re ready Blaine, I’m going to get the doctor and nurse and we’ll have a baby.”

I nodded and watched her leave. Kurt looked at me “You look beautiful right now you know.”

I looked at him “Yes, clearly with my curls sticking to my head and my face red.” I said sarcastically.

He kissed me softly “Oh hush you, you look beautiful.”

Kate arrived with the doctor and nurse and they put my
legs on stirrups. It made my urge harder and harder to
resist. “Oh god!” I cried.’

Doctor Peters smiled “Okay Blaine, on your next
contraction I want you to bear down and push, Kurt will hold you behind you.”

I nodded “O-Okay.”

Kurt held me from behind “You can do this.”

I grasped his hands as a contraction hit and I pushed screaming, I had forgotten how much this part really hurt.

“4…5…6…7…8…9…10. Good job Blaine. Relax.” Said Doctor Peters.

“Fuck that hurt.” I breathed out after the contraction passed.

Another contraction came quickly after, so I had no time to rest. “FUCK! KURT!” I screamed.

“Come on baby, you can do it.”

“Kurt this is YOUR fault!” I screamed as I pushed.

“7…8…9…10. Good job sweetheart you’re doing great.” Said Carole.

“Great job baby.”

I shook my head “Kurt…I- I can’t. I’m trying m-my best but I don’t feel its doing anything.”

He kissed my forehead “Shh, you’re doing great Blaine, give me a big push, ready?” I nodded “Push! 1…2…3…4…That’s it baby! 7…8…9…10.”

Kate smiled “Great job Blaine, the baby is more crowned now, keep pushing like that and we’ll have a baby soon.”

I nodded and I bore down and pushed screaming my husbands name as Kate counted to ten. I fell back against Kurt’s chest after she reached ten.

“I’m so tired Kurt.” I whispered.

“Shh, I know baby, I know. You’re so close baby; I can see a lot of hair.” He laughed “Dear god, this baby is going to have your curls again.”

I laughed “H-ey you love the curls- Oh fuck! Kurt!” I screamed and pushed hard. You’d think after being here so long, I’d get used to the pain.

After another twenty minutes of pushing, my brow was sweaty and tears were rolling down my cheeks. “I can't do this anymore Kurt, I can’t!” I cried out

He looked at me “Baby, listen to me okay? This is it okay you only have to push a few more times,” he coaxed

“Kurt is right Blaine, Now push, 1..2...3…,” then Kate’s counting tapered off, “I can see the baby's head, 4…5…6…7…8…9…10 breathe.”

“You are doing wonderfully Blaine, I’m so proud of you! Ready and push,” Kurt said adjusting his position behind me wrapping his arms around me so that he would have enough strength to support me.

“Blaine, look in the mirror so you can see the baby,” Doctor Peters encouraged, “its head is out.”

“Oh, the baby’s beautiful, Blaine. It’s almost here!” Carole stroked my forehead.

I cried “Oh my god…”

“Come on Blaine, push one more time! You’re so close!”

I screamed as I pushed through the hardest contraction I’d had so far.

“You can do this Blaine! 3…4…5 Blaine open your eyes look! 7…8...9...10”

I opened my eyes, and saw my child’s tiny body leave my own and I leaned back against my husband and cried. “Oh my god, Kurt…”

Doctor Peters held up the baby “Congratulations you two, it’s a beautiful baby boy.”

I sobbed “Oh my god…He’s…he’s beautiful!”

Kurt held me close to him “I love you so much, you did so well. I’m so proud of you.”

I held my breath “Is…is he okay? Why isn’t he crying?” I asked

“Kurt, Why isn’t he crying!?!”

Carole hushed me “Shh, he’s okay,”

Finally after what seemed like a lifetime I heard my son cry and I lost it, I began sobbing as did Kurt behind me. He was alive and crying. “He-he’s okay Blaine…he’s okay.”

I nodded and continued crying, and all I wanted was to hold my baby boy in my arms. Kate brought him over to us. “Congratulations you two, he’s perfect, 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 21 inches long. You did amazing Blaine.”

As I held my baby in my arms, I couldn’t believe it, Kurt and I had a son and he was perfect. I couldn't help but think of Elizabeth as I held him, I thought I was going to lose him but here he was and he was crying. I looked up at my husband “I love you so much Kurt, I couldn't have done this without you.”

“I love you too Blaine.” He chuckled “He looks just like you! My god Blaine, your hair.”

I chuckled and looked at him and gave him a soft kiss and Carole smiled “He’s perfect…does he have a name yet?”

I nodded “Yes, can you go get dad first, I want to tell you together.” She left and quickly returned with Burt.

“Hey buddy, how are you feeling?”

I sighed “Exhausted, but it was all worth it.” I kissed my sons forehead and smiled “Would you like to meet your grandson?”

Burt smiled “It’s a boy?”

I nodded. “Yep, he’s perfect, it took him a while to cry and I nearly had a heart attack but he’s okay.” I looked at Kurt, “Babe, why don’t you introduce the lil man to his grandma and grandpa.”

He smiled and said “Mom, dad, say hello to your grandson, Aaron Christopher Anderson, weighing 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 21 inches long. He’s perfect.”

Mom, cooed “Oh, that’s a beautiful name.” She looked at the baby then at me “And look at that head of hair he has. He’s got his daddy’s hair.”

Dad smiled “He’s beautiful, he looks just like you Kurt.”

He smiled “Really, I think he looks like Blaine.”

Dad shook his head “Nope, he looks just like you when you were a baby, minus the mop of curls he’s got.”

I smiled “You wanna hold him Dad?”

He nodded. “Yeah.” I handed Aaron to his grandpa and smiled as he watched him bond with his grandson.

Carole smiled “So, when is Aria gonna see him?”

“Soon hopefully, I told Mercedes and Finn to bring her by after she eats.”

After Carole held him they left us alone with our son. I looked at Kurt as he held him. “He does look like you babe.”

“I don’t know, I think he looks like you but whatever, he’s part Kurt and part Blaine. I don’t care who he looks like, as long as he’s happy and healthy.”

I kissed him softly “I love you.”

“I love you too.” Aaron started to fuss and I took him from Kurt “Ohh, come here baby boy, shh, its okay Daddy’s got you.”

After humming quietly to him he calmed down I handed him back to Kurt and there was a soft knock at the door “Come in.”

Mercedes and Finn came in with Aria on Finn’s hip. She smiled “Daddy!” and got out of Finn’s arms and ran to me.

”Hey baby girl! You have fun with Uncle Finn and Auntie Mercedes?”

She nodded “Y-yeah! I missed you and Dad.” She pointed at my hand where an IV was. “Dada got boo boo?”

I chuckled “I’m okay sweetie, it’s just medicine. Dad and I got a surprise for you.”

Her eyes lit up “Pwesent?”

I nodded “Remember how Dad and I told you that you were going to have a baby brother or sister?”

She nodded “Yeah.”

“You have a brother,”

She squealed “I have browda?”

I nodded “Mhm,” Kurt handed Aaron to me. “Aria, this is your brother Aaron.”

She looked at him “Aaron, he so little.”

Kurt chuckled “He’s a baby, Aria. You need to be careful around him cause he’s little.”

She kissed her brother on the forehead “I wub you Aaron.”

I got tears in my eyes as I watched the scene. I looked at Kurt, our family was complete, with Aria and little Aaron, we were happy and that’s all that mattered.
