For the next couple of months Kurt and Blaine knew Aiden had been settling into school but he didn’t really have any friends in his class. It was the week before Christmas vacation which Kurt and Blaine had booked tickets to Ohio for, and Blaine was dropping Aiden off at his classroom before running off to work in the recording studio with some of the new talent who were hoping to be signed on the by the company he, Artie and Tina had owned. He was stopped by a woman with a British accent.

“Excuse me,” She asked as Blaine turned around. “I need to find a classroom.”

She explained what she was looking for and Blaine realised she was looking for the same classroom Aiden was in before he noticed the small blonde boy standing behind her.

“My son is in the same class,” Blaine said as Aiden shot a quick smile. “Just follow us.”

“I am Anna by the way,” The woman shook his hand. “And this is Matthew. He is a bit shy around new people and we haven’t been in this country very long.”

“Aiden is the same.” Blaine said as they reached the classroom.

The class hadn’t been let in yet and Aiden noticed the shirt the boy was wearing.

“You-you like Spiderman?” The now six year old asked.

“I love Spiderman.” The boy said quietly.

“Me too,” A smile grew on Aiden’s face. “My Daddy and Papa read me comics all the time!”

“My mummy reads them with me as well.” The slightly taller boy smiled.

The boys said goodbye to their parents and Aiden who usually wouldn’t be that comfortable around a person he had only known for five minutes was happily talking about superheroes with this boy walking into their classroom. Blaine was just silently hoping that maybe this could be a friend for Aiden. It was Kurt who waiting for Aiden with Eliza outside the classroom after school.

“Bye Aiden,” The boy smiled as he ran off to his mother in the distance. “See you tomorrow.”

Kurt had noticed the accent on the boy and didn’t say anything until they got into the car.

“Who was he?” Kurt asked as Aiden buckled himself up.

“Matt,” Aiden smiled. “Me and Papa saw him in the morning before school. It was his first day today.  He came all the way from England, where Harry Potter is from.”

The way Aiden said that made Kurt laugh. It made England sound like a magical place only accessible by wizards in Harry Potter. The entire afternoon, he was talking about Matt and all the things that he liked that Matt liked as well. Kurt hadn’t ever seen the boy this happy after school. After they put Aiden to bed, Kurt came out to Blaine.

“What do you know about this boy?” Kurt asked.

“All I know is they are from England, they haven’t been here long, his mother’s name is Anna and she was moved her for work and that Matt is normally shy around new people as well.” Blaine said as Kurt sat down on the couch.

“Do you think this could be a friend?” Kurt asked hopefully.

“I really do hope so,” Blaine put his arm around Kurt. “But for now, Aiden seems happy and that matters just as much.”

“I guess you are right.” Kurt smiled; putting his head on the shorter man’s shoulder.

For the next week, Aiden had been talking about Matt who he was now calling his friend and how they would talk about comics at lunch all the time. They went to Ohio, and Blaine was with both children at Burt’s tyre store. Eliza who was almost three now, was playing at the front with her brother when they saw their grandmother pull up and stopped what they were doing. Julia got out of the car and both kids raced up to her even before she could go in and see Blaine.

“Blaine,” The woman said, pointing to the office as Burt just mouthed out I got the kids. They went in and she shut the door. “Your father wants to see the kids.”

“What?” Blaine didn’t even sit down. “Why? He made it pretty clear the time I saw him after the divorce he no longer wanted anything to do with me or my life.”

“He is realising that he is getting older, Blaine,” The woman said as Blaine rolled his eyes. “He just wants to meet his grandchildren. He said even it was at a café or somewhere public to make it easier on you and Kurt.”

“He has never cared about making anything easier on Kurt.” Blaine now answered.

“Just – he is your father Blaine. Speak to Kurt about it and call him, okay.” The woman said as Blaine agreed he would. He told Kurt that night, and Kurt was silent for a few minutes.

“We have to do it,” Kurt said eventually. “It is Aiden’s and Eliza’s grandfather and he is your dad, Blaine. But at the Lima Bean.”

Blaine nodded and called his father the next day. The organised a time towards the end of their visit after Christmas Day and all four Hummel-Anderson’s were at the Lima Bean with Burt reminding Kurt he was on standby if Jack Anderson tried to do anything. The man walked in and recognised Kurt and Blaine immediately.

“Hi Blaine,” The man said as Blaine just smiled and older man looked at Kurt before smiling at him. “Hi Kurt.”

“This is Aiden,” Blaine said as the small boy just smiled quickly at the older man. “He is six now.”

“He looks like you.” Jack said as his eyes fell on the smaller girl who was playing with her straw.

“Eliza,” Kurt said as the man nodded. “She is almost three.”

Kurt and Blaine would have called it the most civil they had ever seen Jack, even if it was just for a coffee. Both children seemed to be okay around him, and for the first time he didn’t crack any jokes at Kurt or Blaine and seemed genuine about getting to know his youngest grandchildren. In the last three weeks Kurt and Blaine had seen their son become happy after finding a friend and their kids would get to know their other grandfather - If anything, this was a holiday season to remember.
