December 25th, 2015

Cassidy shot out of bed. She rubbed her eyes and grinned happily to herself. She was sleeping on an air mattress while Santana was sleeping on her bed. They had that sleeping arrangement because Santana claimed she was not waking up earlier.

Stormageddon stirred down at her feet and looked up at her, "Merry Christmas Stormy," Cassidy whispered to him.

Pulling the covers off herself and looked over at the clock by her bed. It read that it was only three twenty eight. She groaned and fell back on the air mattress. It was way to early now. She flopped over and closed her eyes.

While in Blaine and Kurt's room, Blaine's alarm went off. "Already?" Kurt let out a groan.

Blaine smiled and kissed his forehead, "Just hang on, I will go get it. I'll be back in a minute." He slipped out of bed and quietly walked down the hall.

He had to get Cassidy's present from the basement of the building. They had to hide it down there since it was too big to hide in the apartment.

When Blaine was finally back in the bedroom, Kurt had already passed out once again. Blaine smiled as he looked at him. He looked quite peaceful when he was sleeping. Reaching over Blaine gently touched the lines on Kurt's face.

Kurt's face scrunched in his sleep and he sighed as his arms reached out with nothing to hold on too. "Hmm?" he lifted his head with his eyes closes since he was still half asleep.

"Hi," Blaine said picking up the covers and sliding back into bed. He lay back down with his body facing Kurt.

Kurt sighed happily as his arms wrapped around Blaine. Blaine let his body relax as he settled back in bed and closed his own eyes.

It felt like only a few minutes passed when Blaine felt his eyes opening again. He realized he didn't feel Kurt next to him. Turning over he saw that Kurt wasn't in the bed, he felt it and still felt a bit warm.

Pushing the blankets off himself, Blaine looked over and saw the clock read it was about six thirty. He wondered if Kurt had just gone to use the bathroom. So he walked out and found Kurt sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped around himself. The only lights on were the lights from the Christmas tree and shined beautifully bringing out Kurt's features.

"Hey, are you doing okay?" Blaine asked him.

Kurt looked up, "Sorry, did I wake you?"

Blaine shook his head, "No," he sat down beside him, "Excited?"

"I think so," Kurt said as he pulled the blanket and shared it with Blaine. "I mean with everything we have coming up next year. I think it's going to be a good year." He leaned his head on Blaine's shoulder.

Blaine smiled, "I have to agree. But you know this really has been the best Christmas ever so far."

"I have to say my family coming was the last thing I expected," Kurt let out a laugh.

"I'm glad they are here though," Blaine said, "I can't imagine a holiday without them."

"Yeah," Kurt said quietly, "Who would have known Santana would have turned up here and helped as much as she has."

"Isn't that the point of Christmas?" Blaine asked him, "Surprises and being with the ones you love."

Kurt smiled, "You know I am most grateful I have you in my life," he sighed, "I love you."

"I love you too," Blaine leaned his head on Kurt's. "How much longer do you think it will be until Cassidy wakes up?"

"Wouldn't surprise me if she already saw," Kurt let out a laugh.

Blaine smiled, "I hope she likes the gifts we got her."

"Honey," Kurt reached over to take Blaine's hand, "She will like it because it's from us."

"You're right," Blaine sighed, "I guess sometimes I still worry about that. Like whenever I get you a present."

"Hey, we agreed no presents to each other this year," Kurt sat up, "You didn't get me anything did you?"

Blaine looked down, "Not really."

"Blaine," Kurt whined.

"I made it," Blaine said, "Well more like wrote it."

"What?" Kurt asked confused, "Like the song you wrote me?"

Blaine shrugged, "Sort of. You aren't going to tell me you didn't get anything for me?"

"It's Christmas of course I got you something," Kurt smiled, "Well made you something."

"We always find a way around our own rules don't we?" Blaine snuggled closer to Kurt. He then heard the sudden noises of a little girl opening a door. He turned to Kurt and whispered, "I believe the young one is up."

Kurt reached over and grabbed his phone, "Let's record her coming out then."

Blaine saw Cassidy peeking around the corner, "Were you two out here all night?" she asked quietly.

"No," Blaine shook his head.

Cassidy then looked over by the tree and sitting there was a large present with a Christmas blanket covering it. She hesitantly walked over to it, all while Kurt was filming.

"Is this for me?" Cassidy pointed to the present.

"I think so," Blaine said with a smile.

Cassidy gently lifted the blanket off and then she squealed with delight. Underneath the blanket was a brand new bike. "Look Blaine!"

"I see it," Blaine said from his seat on the couch.

"I got a bike!" Cassidy said excitedly. She ran her hands along the bike, "Can I sit on it?"

"Sure," Blaine stood up and helped her on, "What do you think?"

"It's perfect!" Cassidy said, "I can't wait to learn to ride. It's the best surprise ever."

Kurt smiled and looked down the hallway. Santana was leaning on the wall watching them. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas," Santana smiled at him.

Cassidy looked up, "Look Santana, I got a bike! I've never had a bike before. Blaine is going to teach me right?"

"Of course I will Sissy," Blaine kissed the top of her head.

"Did it have to come with training wheels though?" Cassidy asked.

Blaine let out a laugh, "I bet you will learn to ride on two wheels in no time."

"Me too," Kurt said to her, "Soon you will be able to ride your bike to school too."

"That will be so much fun," Cassidy said, "Now Jeremy and I can ride together too."

Kurt's phone went off and it was a text from his dad asking if they were awake yet. "Well Dad seems excited this morning."

"Or it's just Carole excited about finding out when the wedding is," Blaine said with a grin.

"Stop it," Kurt laughed as he text his dad back, "They will probably be here soon. And Rachel and Ashley already said they are on there way."

Cassidy jumped off the bike and picked up Stormageddon's stocking, "Stormy got treats too!" She took out a container of treats for him. "Stormageddon look what you got from Santa," she called walking down the hall.

"Good call on the training wheels," Blaine said looking over at Kurt.

Santana walked over and sat down beside Kurt, "A bike huh?"

"She always wanted one," Blaine shrugged, "Plus she needs one. Every kid needs a bike."

Cassidy came out carrying her cat in her arms, "Look Stormy looks so happy. It's his fourth birthday too."

"How is it his birthday today?" Santana asked her.

"I got him from Santa on Christmas," Cassidy told her, "I don't know his real birthday, so I pick today."

"It's the perfect day," Blaine said to her.

Kurt stood up, "I should get started on those cinnamon rolls since everyone is coming. I hope we have enough to go around."

"I think we do," Blaine said, "If not I'm sure Cassidy wouldn't mind sharing some of her cereal."

Burt, Carole, and Finn arrived soon after and Cassidy was showing them her new bike when Rachel and Ashley came in. They were all sitting around eating the cinnamon rolls.

When Rachel took her last bite, Cassidy turned towards Blaine, "Can we please open presents now? Pretty pretty please?"

Blaine looked down at her, "Hmmm, I'm not sure."

"Oh give the kid a present," Burt said to him.

"You got it," Blaine said as he walked over to there tree. It was full underneath, especially with presents Ashley brought over this morning.

"Wait," Cassidy said holding an arm out, "I believe there is something else we need to do first."

"Oh right," Carole smiled over at Kurt, "Now please."

Kurt laughed and stood up walking next to Blaine. "I know you are all very excited, and we have been keeping this a secret for awhile but for good reason," Kurt told them.

"Yes," Blaine smiled, "Course it was more Kurt's idea not to tell you."

"Hey," Kurt said hitting his arm, "Now we are getting married on..."

"July 28th," Blaine announced.

Carole jumped up and hugged them, along with Rachel. "That's so exciting," she squealed.

"Why that day?" Santana asked. Everyone turned to look at her, "Well my parents got married on the day they met."

"Actually," Blaine smiled, "It's the day my parents got married."

"That's so sweet," Carole said hugging them again.

Rachel squealed with delight, "This is going to be so exciting."

Cassidy groaned from her spot on the floor, "Can we open presents now that everyone knows?"

"Yeah sure," Blaine laughed as they sat down.

Everyone began exchanging Christmas presents and having fun. Cassidy picked up a gift and handed Blaine and Kurt an envelope.

"Merry Christmas," Cassidy smiled at them.

"What's this?" Kurt asked them.

Finn smiled, "It's from all of us."

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.

"Well," Rachel said taking the lead, "All us, yes everyone in this room and then some, knew that the both of you were saving your money for the wedding. And how you two didn't even get presents for each other this year. Which by the way we all think is quite undoable. Because I know all about the presents you got one another."

"Just open the gift," Santana said cutting her off.

Blaine and Kurt turned the envelope over and opened it. Inside was a postcard, a postcard with Hawaii on the front of it.

"Wait, what is...what's going...umm," Kurt couldn't find the right words and Blaine didn't know what to say.

Burt let out a laugh, "You knuckleheads we are sending you to Hawaii for your honeymoon. We got Cassidy to spill about the summer wedding a few weeks ago."

Blaine looked over at Cassidy, "I didn't say the day," she said.

"She wouldn't," Carole smiled at them, "But we planned the best we could and it happens to be two days after the wedding."

"Thank you," Kurt said with tears filling his eyes, "We just thought we would skip it."

"You know we wouldn't let you do that," Burt said to him, "Carole and I skipped ours at first, for a good cause, but eventually went a few months later. We didn't want you two skipping something so important."

"Plus you two definitely deserve it," Ashley smiled at them.

"I can stay with Burt and Carole while you're gone," Cassidy jumped excitedly. "Maybe I can even bring my new bike!"

"That sounds like a grand idea," Blaine said wrapping an arm around his sister and kissing the top of her head.

"We can't stop now, we have more presents to open," Rachel said going back under the tree, "Here these are for you two." She handed both Kurt and Blaine a gift.

"We already got our present," Blaine said picking up the postcard.

"You are insane if you thought that would be the only thing you two are getting," Rachel rolled her eyes, "Now Cassidy this one is for you."

Cassidy took the gift and looked over at Blaine and Kurt. "How about I go first," Kurt said as he ripped the paper. It was a clothes box. He wondered what Rachel had found him. After he and Blaine received the matching Christmas sweaters one year he is hesitant now. He opened the box and let out a gasp, "Rachel!" He pulled her in for a hug, "This is the scarf! The one we saw at the store! It's the scarf!"

Rachel smiled, "I know, that's why I got it. Now you Blaine."

Blaine ripped the wrapping paper off his box, it was longer one. He opened the box and inside was bowties, for the holidays. "Oh Rachel, they are adorable."

"I thought you could wear them for your kids in your classes," Rachel said to him.

Cassidy looked in the box, "Wow, there is one of all five days of the week."

Kurt let out a laugh, "Those are perfect."

"Can I open mine now?" Cassidy asked.

"Sure," Rachel nodded and then reached under the tree for presents for everyone else.

Cassidy ripped the paper off and threw it behind her. She opened the box and let out a squeal of excitement, "It's a chef hat and apron! With my name on them!" she jumped up and down. "Look Blaine! Look at them!"

"Wow," Blaine said having to pull them away from his face since Cassidy had them to close. "You are already to become the head chef now."

"Yep," Cassidy nodded her head, "We are in competition now Kurt."

"Challenge accepted," Kurt said with a small laugh.

As they kept unwrapping, Finn gave Blaine a set of four tickets to go see the Buckeyes hinting at inviting him and Blaine said of course he would. Kurt and Blaine surprised Burt and Carole with a gift card to their favorite fancy restaurant in Columbus. Kurt picked out 'appropriate' sweaters for Rachel. Rachel just rolled her eyes at that.

Although the Christmas sweater Rachel had gotten Santana was quite a controversial present. "So now you have one like Blaine's," Rachel smiled at her.

Santana was sitting in the chair when Cassidy placed a present in her lap. "It says that it's from Santa," Cassidy told her.

"Umm," Santana looked over at Kurt and Blaine who were looking around the room acting as if they had nothing to do with it. "Okay," she said and started to rip off the paper. Inside was a Lite Brite system. And it was an older model, not one of the new ones.

"Look," Cassidy said, "Santa finally got you what you wanted."

"I did," Santana smiled at her.

"Santa sure knows his stuff," Burt laughed.

Santana looked around the room, she didn't know who got her the present, "Thank you," she said aloud. It didn't matter really. She was happy.

About a half hour later there was wrapping paper all around the room and everyone was talking quietly looking at their gifts from one another.

It was finally Kurt and Blaine's turn to give their gift to Cassidy. "One more gift," Kurt stood up.

"What gift is that?" Cassidy asked.

"We have an extra special gift for you," Blaine said standing up. Kurt stood up and walked out of the room.

"Is it another kitten?" Cassidy asked.

Kurt laughed from his room, "No!"

Blaine shook his head, "No, it's not. But I think you will definitely like this one."

"It's not a puppy is it?" Cassidy giggled while rocking on her feet.

Kurt walked out carrying a larger sized box that was wrapped, "If you think we are getting a puppy I think we need a bigger house."

"So one day I can get a puppy?" Cassidy asked.

"We'll see," Blaine said and then leaned down to whisper in her ear, "We got him to say that it's a possibility let's not push it."

"Heard that," Kurt set the box down, "Alright this present comes with a disclaimer."

"Why is that?" Cassidy asked confused.

"What he means is that this present is not just for you," Blaine explained, "Although technically it will be yours."

Cassidy scrunched her face, "Can I open it so I'm not confused anymore?"

"Go ahead," Kurt said, "Just remember what we said."

"Okay," Cassidy said and started to take off the paper from the box. When she took off the paper there wasn't anything on the box. She opened the box and inside was a notebook, sunscreen, a box of matches, coloring books and crayons, a towel, plastic forks, knives, and spoons and canteen. "I don't get it."

Blaine smiled, "Do you remember how you always wanted to go on a camping trip."

"And we told you time and time again that maybe one day," Kurt said to her.

"We're going camping!" Cassidy yelled excitedly. She jumped up and down, "We're going camping!"

"I guess she likes it," Kurt said as Blaine wrapped his arm around his waist and leaned into the embrace.

Blaine smiled, "She may."

Burt and Carole were listening as Cassidy started telling them all about how she wanted to go camping and how excited she was to go.

"When are we going?" Cassidy asked.

Blaine laughed, "We are going in August after the wedding."

"This is going to be so much fun," Cassidy said.

Since all the gifts were passed out and unwrapped, Kurt disappeared into the kitchen to start the dinner. Carole, Rachel, and Ashley followed after him. Burt turned on the television, with Blaine and Finn watching with him. Cassidy had Santana next to her as she showed her some of her presents.

Blaine walked into the kitchen and saw Kurt and Carole were peeling the potatoes. "No worries on the potato shortage," he smiled at his fiance.

Kurt gave him a look, "Oh shush you."

"Potato shortage?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, he sort of flipped out when everyone said they were coming," Blaine smiled, "And he started going on about a potato shortage."

"We'll always have potatoes," Ashley said touching his shoulder.

"Ha ha, very funny," Kurt said rolling his eyes.

"You know the first holiday were everyone was coming to my house I may have went insane and I bought two turkeys," Carole said, "I know how overwhelming it is."

"See," Kurt said sticking his tongue out at Blaine.

Santana snickered from behind Blaine, she patted him on the back, "So many jokes to come from that action, no pun intended."

"That's the Santana we know and love," Rachel said giving her a hug.

Santana just let her be hugged, "Fine Berry, since it's the holidays. But I am still not wearing that sweater you got me."

"Come on," Rachel whined, "We could all match."

Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Rachel Berry, what makes you think I will put on that sweater?"

"Oh you will," Rachel said, "Now you all have one and we can take a nice Christmas picture."

"That's not a bad idea," Blaine shrugged.

Ashley looked at him, "He secretly likes the sweater."

"Maybe I do," Blaine smiled and picked up a cracker and cheese plate walking back into the living room.

"One time," Kurt said to her, "I will put that sweater on one time and that's it."

And Kurt kept his promise before they sat down to eat dinner. The group all put on the sweaters they had received from Rachel. Either if was from this year or last.

Blaine set up the camera making sure everyone could be seen. "Ash, could you get on the ground with Cassidy?"

"Sure," Ashley said sitting beside Cassidy.

"Prefect," Blaine smiled and turned on the timer, "Alright, all ready now."

Blaine ran into the shot and stood next to Kurt wrapping his arm around his waist and his other arm around Cassidy. Santana was next to them giving the camera her signature smile. Ashley was sitting on the floor and smiling goofily at the camera. Rachel and Finn were together and smiling. Carole and Burt had their arms looped together. The flash went off taking the picture capturing a picture of the memories of the best Christmas ever.
