The wedding was a small simple affair at Kurt's father's house. Burt was very happy to see his son get married. Especially to such a fine man as Blaine. He loved the children especially the young Kurt.

Sam watched the children while Blaine and Kurt went away on their honeymoon. They were gone for a whole month. During that month the Germans took over Austria.

The children were practicing for the Festival, that Sam was putting them in. When a man approached them. Sam knew the man was Herr Zeller, a Austrian man who was working with the Nazis.

"Herr Evans!", he called, walking towards Sam.

Sam turned to him, "Oh, Good Afternoon, Herr Zeller."

"Perhaps you have not heard I'm now the gauleiter" (A/N: a political official governing a district under Nazi rule.)

"I have just come from the house of Captain Anderson, incidentally, the only one in the neighborhood not flying the flag of the Third Reich since the Anschluss. (A/N: German for "connection")

But we have dealt with that situation. Your housekeeper told me I would find you here. It was the only information the woman would give me."

"What kind of information are you looking for?", Sam asked.

"We want to know when the Captain will be returning."

"Well, He's on his honeymoon trip.", said Sam, "Uh, he's not been in touch with us."

"Are you asking me to believe that the captain has not communicated with his children in over a month?", asked Herr Zeller dis-believeingly

"Herr Zellar, How many men do you know who communicate with their children while on there honeymoon?", Sam asked, smugly.

Herr Zellar gave him a conceding nod, "When he does return he will be expected to fill his proper position in the new order."

"Naturally, naturally.", Sam said peacefully, "And may I congratulate you... That is your people.. on deciding to allow the festival to go on tonight as planned?"

"Why should it not?", Herr Zellar asked, "Nothing in Austria has changed. Singing and music will show this to the world. Austria is the same." Then he turned and left.

Sam turned to the children. "Come on, children, let's go home."

"Why was he so cross?", Gracie asked.

"Everbody's cross these days darling.", Sam said.

"Maybe the flag with the black spider on it makes people nervous.", Marta said innocently.

"Is father going to be in trouble?", Rachel asked as they walked off the stage.

"He doesn't have to be.", Sam said, "The thing to do these days is to get along with everybody. I want you all to remember that tonight at the concert."

"Are we really going to sing before a whole lot of people tonight?", asked Brigitte.

"Of course.", said Sam, showing them the program. "Look the Anderson family singers, and here are your names; Rachel, Rory, Lily, Kurt, Brigitte, Marta, and Gracie."

"Why am I always last?", Gracie asked.

"Because you are the most important.", said Sam, placatingly.

"Oh!", Gracie said smiling.

When they reached the car everyone climbed in. Just as Rachel was about to get in she heard someone call out; "Rachel! Rachel!"

She turned to see Jesse. She walked over to him. "Jesse! Jesse, I'm so glad to see you. It's been such a.."

"Good Afternoon.", Jesse said, cutting her off. "You will take this, please, and deliver it to your father as soon as he comes hom." He said handing her a telegram.

"He's on his honeymoon.", Rachel said as she took the telegram.

"I know that.", Jesse said.

"You do?", Rachel said

"We make it our business to know everything about everyone."

"Who's we?", Rachel asked.

"See that he gets it.", Jesse said avoiding the question.

"What is it?", Rachel asked.

"It's a telegram from Berlin."

"Don't you want to come over tonight, and deliver it yourself?", Rachel asked.

"I am now occupied with more important matters, and your father better be, too, if he knows what's good for him." Jesse said coldly, and walked away.

"But Jesse!", Rachel called after him.
