“She told me she’s pregnant.” Dave answered quietly, looking down at Kurt’s hands in his. There was no real emotion in his voice. Just a simple statement, like telling someone what time it was.

And then silence. Fuck, now it was Kurt’s turn to be terrified of the silence. What was Dave thinking? What was he going to do? Dave’s words hung in the ( Read more... )

“The name is Karofsky. K-A-R-O-F-S-K-Y. David….Yes, thank you.” Kurt ended the call and slipped his phone into his jacket pocket, the impossible smirk never leaving his face.
Dave ignored the sudden increase of butterflies in his gut. Relax, he told himself. Grow a pair and just fucking relax, already. “Um….I didn’t really bring any nicer clothes. I ( Read more... )

“But I need you. Kurt, please…” Dave pleaded with fresh tears in his eyes, kissing lightly across Kurt’s shoulder. “Please. Don’t give up on me.”

Silence. Dave held onto Kurt’s body, sobbing quietly, praying for this moment to never end. He knew what he had come here to say. But he was suddenly so terrified of what Kurt’s reaction might be. Could ( Read more... )

i’m here…room 920

It was Thursday. Five days since he’d come out to the school. Things had been relatively quiet. The people who mattered to him were cool, of course. The people he could care less about, however, well, he couldn’t care less. Jay and Neil hadn’t really said much, just an eye-roll or throat-clear as he walked by in the cafeteria or hallway.

Life was ( Read more... )

"Does it still hurt?”

“David. Stop it. Please” Kurt nuzzled in closer against his boyfriend’s chest. “If I’d known you were going to beat yourself up over this…I would have just lied to you.”

“No! Don’t lie to me. Promise you’ll never lie to me….about that.” Dave pulled away from Kurt’s arms to look him in the eyes. “I hate that I hurt you.”

Kurt sat nervously on the tiny bed. He stared at the books and the laptop and the three picture frames on the desk in front of him. He let his mind wander into the room across the hall and he felt his cheeks get hot. This was either the worst idea he’d ever had or it was the only possible thing left for him to do.

He heard footsteps and ( Read more... )

“You’d like her. She reminds me a lot of you.” Dave sat on the sofa in his living room, petting Sylvester and talking to his sister on his TV via webcam. “I still can’t believe it. The babies will be here before we know it.”

“Aww, I’m so happy for you, David.” Lauren sighed. “I wish I could talk Darren into coming to visit but he’s so tight with ( Read more... )

Work was, of course, still busy for both Dave and Kurt. The long, hot Miami summer was in full effect. The babies’ room had been painted a soft mint green. That lasted three days. It was now yellow again. And there was a second crib against the opposite wall filled with blankets and baby clothes and a diaper bag. The wallpaper border was a pastel ( Read more... )
