kurt.

          _{An all-too knowing smile was quick to grace the man’s features as he allowed another array of laughter to fall sweetly from his lips, happily watching Blaine reacquaint himself with their shiny newborn and gaze scarcely torn away as he further relaxed himself into the pillows.  ❛ Something tells me Jesse’s probably already pretty much being coerced into trying out for the next one, ❜  Kurt teased, the much too lively image of his best friend / former roommate turned baby mama’s overly dramatic goodbyes still very much on the back of his mind as Blaine subtly reminded him of the going-ons of their earlier departure from the hospital. Witnessing the miracle of childbirth, as gruesome and not pretty the experience had been, and as crazy and annoying as Rachel sometimes was, had somehow gained him an entirely new perspective and deeper level of appreciation. Words of gratitude never quite possibly enough for the incredible, precious gift she, without so much a second of hesitation or a tiny twinge of regret, had irrevocably given them.} 

          _{❛ I really don’t think I can do it, either. ❜  Fingertips traced gently along the soft fabric still securely wrapped around Hepburn’s tiny physique before his eyes once again caught hold of his husband’s, teeth sinking down his bottom lip in a feeble attempt to stop the giggle that inevitably followed. She looked so comfortable. They really were a hopeless bunch.  ❛ I suppose we could do our twice daily recount of her fingers and toes. ❜}

     “Probably.  But I don’t think he’s going to need that much convincing..”  

    Just as he felt like his heart couldn’t fill any further with love, love, love and more love, Blaine felt his eyes start to sting with what was bound to become another round of tears to be shed. Kurt’s voice drew his attention from the tiny set of cupid’s bow lips glistening in the dim light of their bedroom as Hepburn breathed in and out and Blaine thought there was never such a fascinatingly beautiful sight.  The closest runner up would be the look on his husband’s face the moment their daughter first met his gaze and they saw each other for the first time.  He thought he understood what love and devotion meant because of Kurt.  But..even if he couldn’t put this feeling to words?  Nothing compared to the level of it running through his soul as it was tonight with their daughter and his husband on the very dawning of their lives as a family.  “Kurt,” his voice was pitched. Not very steady.  One word and the tone was enough to say ‘i need you’.  His hand began to shake as he reached over to blindly sink his fingers into the long length of Kurt’s that he knew right where to find without having to look. Magnets.  Always.  Their hands could find each other in the pitch black.  Because that’s how soulmates work, is it not?    Contact made and he squeezed tight, trying to express how much he was feeling because words weren’t enough anymore.

      One again, his gaze travelled up to meet Kurt’s and his giggle had Blaine bursting at the seams.  His smile went wide enough to show his teeth and his owlish stare was broken as his eyes rolled towards the ceiling.  Caving instantly, he carefully tugged Kurt’s hand up close enough to press a kiss to his fingers.  “Fine.  You can go first, but I claim dibs on the recount..” A brief pause that lasted through another kiss and his lips lingered close enough to touch Kurt’s skin with every word that followed next.  “I used to think I couldn’t love you more than I already did.  I was wrong..  Because I don’t know what to even call what I’m feeling right now. Does that make any sense?  I just..really love you.  Okay?”
