Filling in this week,
mockingbirdq generously gifted me with art for the No Day But Today series. The following lovely picture takes place during
Safe Zone:
Kurt gave him a little smile. It was forced, but cute and hopeful, and he kissed Blaine tenderly as he made him feel the baby moving, kicking around, probably a little riled up from how fast Kurt’s heart was beating. Pulling the gun had startled him. Blaine closed his eyes and let his forehead rest against Kurt’s.
This baby didn’t need a daddy who was out of his mind. Kurt didn’t need a partner who couldn’t be there for him when he went into labor again, who wouldn’t be able to support him and their little peanut.
His hand petted the side of Kurt’s belly in slow even strokes, then leaned over close to sing “Hey, Jude” softly to the baby. It had been a while since he’d done that, but it had also been a little while since they didn’t have to be afraid to make noise. Kurt’s fingers stroked the back of his neck, and he joined his voice with Blaine’s.
Thank you again for the wonderful art!
