I wonder what the surprise is?

Kelly Clarkson Has Lullabies and Homework on the Brain
Babies are definitely in Kelly Clarkson's near future.
While the singer plans to "Tie It Up" in an intimate, elopement-style ceremony within the next few weeks, she's already looking ahead to the next step in the evolution of her relationship with fiancé Brandon Blackstock.
"I'm 31! My eggs aren't getting any younger," she told omg! before taking the stage at her private concert celebrating Fair Trade with Green Mountain Coffee. "Brandon's such a great dad — he already has a 12 and a 6-year-old — and I love them. … We've been living together for over a year, I'm so used to having kids in the house now, that I'm like, 'I want a baby.' So I'm making him start right away."
Thankfully, her groom is on board.
"He wants to too, so we're good. He's down. He'll put in the time," she laughed.
When it comes to what exactly it is she's looking forward to about motherhood, Kelly's very happy and relieved that she'll be better equipped than her own parents were to get her tot off to a healthy start.
"I grew up and we didn't have any money," she recalled. "I think the cool thing about my life now is I have so much to offer a little baby, whether it's just healthier decisions right off the bat with what we're eating. We don't have to get the cheap, poor food. … Also, education's always been a huge thing in my family…
"I'm just excited about the whole molding process, about being a part of something like that," she continued. "And I already am with Seth and Savannah, my new kids, but it's just, from the ground up is going to be such a cool experience and I'm really excited about it … I love the homework and the games and all the stuff. I just love everything about [parenthood]."
Of course, when mom has a set of pipes like Kelly's, we know that baby will also be getting the gift of great lullabies.
"My mom always sang 'You Are My Sunshine,' so that'll be one of them," she teased. "And 'Smile' is actually one of my favorite songs."
"Wrapped in Red," Kelly's holiday album — which she described as her "favorite album I've ever done" — comes out October 29, so she and her main squeeze will be dressing as Santa and Mrs. Claus for Halloween. But that's not all.
"We have a little surprise that we're doing on Halloween," she shared. "We hope everyone enjoys it. We are going to."
If her live-streamed concert this week (which will re-air on October 24) and videos from her trip to coffee farms in Peru were any indication, we're sure we will.

New Details on Kelly Clarkson's Tennessee Elopement
Kelly Clarkson is set to tie the knot any day now with fiance Brandon Blackstock, but she has an extra special plan on how she's physically getting to the ceremony.
"What's kind of fun is Brandon's a pilot and I'm being certified right now, as we speak," the Grammy winner, 31, told ABC News. "So, I'm flying us there and he's flying us back."
The "Because of You" singer decided a few months ago it was best to cancel their wedding plans for October in favor of a small elopement with just the couple and Blackstock's two children.
Now, Clarkson said, she is just waiting on the children to get back from their mother's home -- Blackstock shares custody -- and then the four of them will head to Tennessee for the "small ceremony."
She can't wait for her special entrance.
"Who flies themselves to their wedding, I don't know!" she said. "We are really excited for the intimacy factor."
But it won't be a small group for long. Clarkson said she's ready to expand her new family almost immediately and have a baby of her own.
"Like soon! Brandon, he's a great dad and we wanted to make sure it's cool with [his kids], but they are really pumped about it," she said. "We actually, probably, want two more and he's got two, so four total. [The oldest] will be in her teens, so that's kind of like a live-in baby sitter."
Clarkson spoke to ABC News on Thursday night as part of an event supporting fair trade for coffee growers, teaming up with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. The former "American Idol" star went to Peru as part of the promotion to meet coffee workers and their families.
"I'm a new parent now, so it's cool to meet parents whose goal is just to have better life for their children," she said. "That's what we want, too."
Fans loved the engagement photos Clarkson posted of her and Blackstock on Twitter in July and August, weeks before she decided to elope, so she said her family and fans will still get to see the nuptials.
"We are making a special video for our family and friends, and then doing one for fans -- because everyone keeps asking," she said. "We are actually putting together, since everyone liked the engagement photos so much, a little booklet kind of thing we will put online."
She said Twitter, Facebook and other outlets will definitely be full of photos from her special day.
An advance congratulations for Kelly and Brandon!

I mean obviously it could and there are always exceptions but it greatly reduces the chance.
