Chapter Seven

They avoided the conversation for the next couple of weeks. Julia was released from the hospital with strict orders of bed rest for two more days and then they would introduce her to the walking cast. Kurt requested a couple of days of work while Blaine continued on his job hunt. The local music store was looking for a piano teacher and someone who was willing to teach their staff some theory. He was more than qualified for the job. Once that job was secure and Blaine started working, he and Kurt worked out a schedule that would fit the both them and Burt and Carole. They couldn't avoid the question for too long, however. Because soon, the little one was becoming curious.

"Daddy," Julianne asked when Kurt was tucking her in one night. "Where's Daddy Blaine?" Kurt stopped what he was doing, which was adjusting Julia's foot pillow, and looked up at his daughter.

"What did you just say?" He asked, a bit baffled.

"I asked where Daddy Blaine was," She stated very clearly. "I figured, since he's been around for a while and you two share a room now, he was gonna be my new Daddy." She stopped herself to think. "Well, maybe not my new daddy, but another daddy." She blushed. Kurt smiled and, right at that moment, saw Blaine's headlights come into view.

"It looks like he's home," Kurt smiled. "Wanna do me a favor?" He asked.

"Does it mean I get to stay up just a little bit longer?" She asked. Kurt nodded and smiled.

"Daddy was planning on doing this a little bit later," He whispered, helping Julia out of bed and listening carefully for any movement downstairs. "But, if you're sure you're ready for a second daddy, then I don't see how the time isn't right." He led his daughter to their bedroom and into his closet.

"You have to promise Daddy you're going to be quite," He held his pointer finger to his lips and Julia mocked him. "Good girl," He smiled, before digging through one of his drawers and pulling out a ring box. Julia covered her mouth and Kurt smiled.

"Honey, I'm home." Blaine called as he walked through the door.

"Upstairs sweetie," Kurt called, still telling Julia to be quite.

"Is Julia already asleep?" He asked.

"Yeah, out like a light. I'll be down in a moment. Can you prepare the tea?" He asked, talking about their nighttime tea time to relax the two of them after a stress filled day at their respective work places. Kurt quickly dropped to his knee to look the little girl straight in the eye.

"Here's what I want you to do," He started. "I want you to go downstairs, rubbing your eyes, and I want you to tell Blaine that you can't sleep." He waited for her to nod in response. "And once he gives you your warm glass of milk and puts you in your chair, I want you to ask him how he feels about Daddy, okay?" He asked. Another nod from the little girl.

"Then what?" She grinned, curious.

"Then, I want you to ask him if he'd ever marry daddy, then I'll handle the rest of it, okay?" Kurt asked. Julia nodded and kissed her daddy on the cheek before going off on her special mission. She gently made her way down the stairs, making yawning noises and stretching her little arms as far as they could reach.

"Baine?" She asked, turning the corner to the kitchen.

"Hey sweetie," Blaine turned from the kettle that was warming on the stove to the little girl standing beside him. "What are you doing out of bed, did you have a bad dream?" He asked, getting down on one knee to become eyelevel with the little girl. She shook her head.

"I can't get comfy," She squirmed a bit and Blaine smiled.

"I take it someone didn't get her before bedtime milk dose?" He asked, getting up and walking over to the fridge.

"Daddy says that's your special thing and he doesn't wanna take it away from us." She smiled, and Blaine did too.

"Well, then," Blaine grabbed her sippy cup from the counter and started pouring her some milk. "Maybe tonight can be Daddy, Julia and Blaine night. Our tea should be ready soon. Why don't you take a seat while I warm up your milk?" He asked, and watched as the three year old shuffled her way to her seat.

While his boyfriend and his daughter talked downstairs, Kurt paced back and forth in their bedroom. Sure, he had been thinking of when and how he was going to purpose to Blaine, and almost ten PM on a Saturday evening with his daughter present wasn't the exact idea either, but it was going to have to work. He knew that Julianne was going to want to be a part of the whole process, but he didn't know that she was going to be this much of it.

"Dose Daddy tuck you in at night, Baine?" Kurt heard his little girl ask, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, he does." Blaine smiled. "And I tuck him in right beside me." He smiled. Julia looked up at Blaine in awe.

"He loves you, ya know."

"And I love him." Blaine pulled out his chair and sat right beside her. Kurt stopped in the doorway and watched them for another moment.

"Well, isn't this quite the sight," He asked, before moving over to put his hands on Blaine's shoulders.

"Aw, did we wake you up?" Blaine asked, holding the hand that Kurt put on his shoulder.

"No, no. I was just upstairs, looking around for something." He smiled and watched the two of them for a moment. He couldn't believe he was about to ask this beautiful man to complete their family. While he was upstairs, he called his father. He wanted to make sure he wasn't going crazy and that Blaine was the right pick, not just for him but for the family as well. Burt reassured him that Blaine was the right one for the family, that Julianne loved him, he and Carole loved him.

"Daddy," his little girl's voice pulled him back to reality. "Are you alight?" She asked, and watched as Blaine moved to turn and face Kurt.

"And what was it you were looking for, love?" Blaine smiled, and innocent eyes flashed up at Kurt. Kurt took a deep breath and smiled, first looking at Julia before moving to the other side of Blaine.

"I have spent a very long time thinking about something, and I wanted your….thoughts on it as well." He spoke, rubbing Blaine's arm. "Remember how everyone said that, no matter what, we should get married?" He asked. Blaine nodded.

"Remember when my mom lied to the hospital?" He smiled and Blaine nodded. "Remember how Julia's preschool teacher already assumed that we were married?" He asked and again, Blaine nodded, wondering where Kurt was going with this. With a deep breath and a simple nod from his daughter, Kurt Hummel got down on one knee. Blaine's eyes widened.

"Kurt, what are you-"

"Blaine Christopher Anderson, will you marry me?" The ring box creaked open and Blaine's heart skipped a beat.

"Kurt I-"

"SAY YES!" Julia yelled. "It's either say yes, or you can leave!" She hopped down from her chair and put her hands on her hips. Blaine smiled and opened his arms to Julia.

"Wanna help me answer your daddy?" He asked, picking up Julia and nuzzling his lips into her head. She nodded. He whispered in her hear and she grinned.

"HE SAYS YES, DADDY!" She jumped from Blaine's lap to Kurt's arms and then backed out of the way.

"Really?" Kurt asked. Blaine nodded and came down to Kurt's level, kissing him quietly.

"Really." Blaine answered, before the silver band was placed on his finger.

Once Julia was in bed for good, Kurt and Blaine quietly made their way to their bedroom. Blaine pressed Kurt against the door and kissed him sweetly.

"You are the best person in the world." Blaine kissed Kurt again and Kurt smiled.

"And you are the best fiancé in the world." Kurt reminded him. Blaine grinned and pulled Kurt into a kiss and they moved to the bed.
