Three Times The Hummel Verse

Positive

She couldn't find it anywhere. Shannon had put it down while she had been cleaning the house but she couldn't remember where. She had been dreaming about this exact moment her whole life and she had planned out the entire thing. Now it was ruined.

Shannon was still searching when Carson returned home from work. He was tired from a long day of editing newspaper articles and he wanted nothing more than to just curl up on the couch with his wife and take a nap. Unfortunately for him, Shannon was currently tearing the couch apart.

"Love. What are you doing?" Carson began to smirk beside himself. "Did you loose the remote again?"

Shannon looked up from what she was doing to notice him for the first time. She appeared caught, like a mouse in a trap. "Oh, you caught me. I lost the remote again." She slowly began to put the cushions back onto the frame.

Carson could tell that she was lying, but he was too tired to try and figure it out. Instead, he went into the kitchen to get something to drink.

After he filled a glass with water, he began to head back into the living room before something on the countertop caught his eye.

Shannon was really upset with herself. Due to her bad memory, she had put down the stupid stick and forgotten where in the house it was.

As she stood in the living room, scolding herself for loosing it, the cry of shattering glass could be heard from the kitchen. Alarmed, she ran towards the back room worried about what she might find. "Carson, baby are you alright?"

When she got to the kitchen door, she stopped and just stared at the scene before her.

Carson stood in the middle of the kitchen, posed as if he was still holding his drink, only his hand was empty, and there was broken glass and water pooling around his socked feet. He could best be explained as frozen, due to what Shannon did not know until she looked in the direction that he could not tear his eyes away from.

On the countertop lied the pregnancy test. It's green plus sign facing the ceiling, practically glowing in the semi-dark room.

"Carson?" She asked again much quieter. Her voice seemed to break him out of whatever trance he had been in. He turned to fully look at his wife. His eyes sparkled with happiness and unshed tears.

"Hi." He said, as if he hadn't seen her at all that day. There was a lightness to the mood in the air, like nothing was different.

"Hi." Shannon said back slightly confused. She hadn't been sure how he would react, but at the moment she settled for happy due to his shining eyes.

All of her worries were put to rest when Carson suddenly stepped forward over the pile of glass and captured her in his strong arms. After a moment, Carson broke the hug to attach his lips to hers in a loving kiss.

When the kiss broke, they held each other for what felt like hours. They didn't speak, knowing the moment was too precious to capture in words.

Somehow they ended up on the now put together couch, asleep with smiles glued to their faces. Shannon laid atop of Carson, his arms wrapped protectively around her waist. The moment couldn't have been named anything other than perfect in Shannon's mind.

Kurt found himself in the driveway of his brother's house that afternoon. He had made a habit of buying extra fruits and vegetables and secretly hiding them in Carson's fridge. Kurt was never sure if he ate them, but maybe if they were there and available he would.

Of course he had bought a little something for Shannon too. A huge pineapple sat at the top of the grocery bag beside him. He knew she had no problem eating healthy, so he always liked to leave behind her favorite fruit.

He noticed that both Carson's and Shane's cars were in the drive way in front of him. Figuring it was safe to assume that they wouldn't be in the kitchen seeing as it was mid-afternoon, Kurt grabbed his bags and snuck around to the back door that led directly to the room of his desire.

When he walked into the house, the very first thing he saw was the heap of broken glass littered across the kitchen floor. While he was surprised that it was even there, Kurt was even more surprised that it hadn't been cleaned up yet. Kurt decided to clean it up himself, thinking that maybe the two had gotten into a fight and were still at it somewhere else in the house.

After all of the glass shards had been picked up and taken care of and the water was mopped up, Kurt set about putting the groceries away. When he was just about done, something caught his eye on the countertop. Kurt turned to further inspect it and realized what it was a moment later. The big plus sign was rather obvious and Kurt had to remind himself to be quiet when he was about to laugh in happiness.

Then a thought occurred to him. What if this was the cause of the fight? Kurt couldn't stand not knowing so he snuck around the corner that separated the kitchen and living room. He relaxed immensely when he came across the sight of the two love birds asleep on the couch, completely wrapped up in each other's arms.

Kurt couldn't help it. He quietly pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of the two. He decided to keep their secret, as it was obvious that they had both just found out themselves. He silently laughed again when he remembered how Carson had known about Rachel being pregnant with his son. Now the brothers were even.

Kurt left the house and headed back to his car a few minutes later. He was happy to let the two soulmates enjoy their moment.
