Author's Notes: I have had this chapter idea in my mind for a while and it took me a while to come down from the 'Burt has cancer, Merry Christmas' episode to be able to write this.

Kurt and Blaine were once again hosting Christmas and Kurt was on the phone to Aiden who had asked if he could someone along to the holiday.

“What’s her name?” Kurt asked on loud speaker. “And why isn’t she going home from Christmas?”

His name is Taylor, Dad,” Aiden laughed. “And his parents aren’t very accepting of him and his sexuality. His sister lives in New York so he’ll be staying with her, but she is going somewhere on Christmas and he can’t be alone.”

“He?” Blaine asked.

“Well yeah,” Aiden responded. “We met a few months ago. He is a law student and I really like him. I know this is a strange way to come out to my dad’s-”

“Yeah strange is the word for it,” Kurt laughed. “You know that we don’t care who it is as long as you’re happy.”

“That’s what I thought,” Aiden responded. “So, can he come?”

“Absolutely.” Both men said in unison.

Aiden and the men finished their conversation and didn’t realise that both girls had heard the entire conversation, and their brother coming out from the corner of the room.

“I knew it was a matter of time.” Eliza smiled as nine year old Katie nodded.

“I am going to be singing lead in the Christmas Concert.” Katie practically beamed as both men looked at her.

“What? Really?” Kurt asked.

“They asked me first because I know how to play jingle bells on the piano and then they said I could sing if I wanted to.” Katie was basically bouncing off the walls.

In the last year, their youngest had started piano lessons with Blaine, who realised she was actually really good, so he got her some lessons which she really enjoyed. It was funny because Aiden was the child for Blaine, and Eliza was for Kurt, but Katie was the one that both men could understand.

“When is it?” Kurt asked as the girl with the long, dark brown curls found the invitation. “The same day Aiden comes home. He might come too.”

“Awesome.” The girl was smiling.

The night of the Christmas Concert soon came, and all five Hummel-Andersons got into the same car for the first time in a while. Taylor was going to meet them at the school, and when they got there, Katie ran off to get ready. In the distance, the men saw a boy who was a tiny bit shorter than Aiden, who had now reached Kurt’s height, and neither man didn’t miss the smile on Aiden’s face when he saw the boy.

“This is Taylor,” Aiden said as Kurt, Blaine and Eliza all smiled at him. “Taylor this is my dad Kurt, my dad Blaine and the oldest of my younger sisters Eliza.”

“Hi.” All three of them said as the boy shook their hands.

“Thank you for inviting me to Christmas.” The boy said as Kurt looked at Blaine.

“It is our pleasure.” Blaine responded.

They all went inside and took their seats for the show. Neither Kurt nor Blaine knew what to expect, but when Katie’s class came out, and the girl started singing, nothing could have wiped the smile off their faces. For a nine year old, she was good – no she was really good. When the concert ended, the girl raced up to them, and asked Blaine first what he thought.

“We have a mini Katy Perry here I think.” Blaine laughed.

“Really papa?” Katie asked. “I was good.”

“You were great.” Kurt said, hugging the small girl.

“You were really good, Katie.” Both her older brother and sister in unison.

“I want to start singing lessons,” The girl looked at her fathers. “It was really fun singing for school and maybe you can start me off, like we did with piano.”

“Maybe in the New Year Dad and I can start you up and we’ll see where we go.”

“Thank you.” The girl said hugging both men as they told everyone they were going for Pizza and hot chocolate to celebrate.

They were sitting at the restaurant and everyone was eating and laughing, but Eliza who was sitting there awkwardly, just drinking her water after saying she wasn’t hungry. Blaine had counted now, and this was the fifth time that she said wasn’t hungry and he knew that something else was up. They got back to the house and he caught her looking at her completely flat stomach in the mirror.

“You are one of the most beautiful girls I know.” Blaine came into the bedroom as the sixteen year old rolled her eyes in a Kurt like fashion.

“You have to say that, you’re my dad.” She sat down on the bed.

“Why would you let someone make you think that you aren’t beautiful?” The asked the girl just sighed.

Both men knew it was the quarterback that she had started dating a few months back. They knew he was the kind of guy that would pressure her into things, but they also knew that she was sixteen which meant that even if they told her not to date him, she probably would. So they just hoped that she wouldn’t be pressured and would make good decisions.

“You know,” Blaine looked at her. “Have I ever told you about the girl I went to school with, Marley?”

“No.” Eliza raised an eyebrow.

“She was a good singer,” Blaine responded. “She was also told by other people that she wasn’t skinny enough. There was actually another girl in Glee who took in her costume to make her look like she was gaining weight.”

“That’s just mean.” Eliza’s mouth hung open.

“I know it is,” Blaine responded. “Marley started throwing up everything. We had a sectionals competition and she fainted after the first song and we got disqualified from the competition.”

“Oh wow.” Eliza said quietly.

“It took three months of therapy and an entire glee club telling her that she wasn’t fat every single day for her to start feeling okay again,” Blaine responded. “She was in a bad way, Eliza and I don’t want that happening to you.”

“I-I promise that will never happen, Papa.” Eliza said nervously.

“So, are we going to have something for dinner?” Blaine asked her.

“Okay,” Eliza smiled, hugging the man. “What is there?”
