"Blaine, guess what!" Cassidy said running into Blaine's arm after he came back from work at the Lima Bean.

"What is it darling sister of mine?" Blaine teased.

"We are having a choir show and I got a solo," Cassidy exclaimed.

Blaine smiled, "Well oh my goodness, looks like we're going to have to let everyone know!"

"Do you think Kurt will come?" Cassidy asked, "Katherine already said she would come."

Blaine looked over at Katherine and smiled, "Well that was nice of her. I'll have to text Kurt and ask him what he thinks."

"Yay!" Cassidy giggled, "I can't wait until you can hear me."

"I can't wait either," Blaine smiled.

---

"Oh Kurt, Cassidy wondered if you wanted to come see her in her choir show," Blaine asked Kurt at lunch one day.

Kurt smiled and was about to say something, "Aw, isn't that sweet," Santana teased.

Blaine blushed, "Never mind."

"What, no I'd love to go," Kurt said, "Don't listen to Santana. I'm sure Carole and Burt will want to come too."

"Yeah, she is excited about it because she has a solo," Blaine explained.

"That's amazing," Kurt said smiling.

"You two are acting like a married couple again," Mercedes teased.

Blaine blushed again, "I...I..."

"Come on," Kurt said standing up, "I wanted to pick up that book from the library," he glared at his friends before he walked out of the cafeteria with Blaine.

"I'm sorry about that," Blaine said, "I didn't mean to..."

"No Blaine," Kurt said taking his hand, "Don't apologize, I'm honored you asked me to go."

"It was actually Cassidy's idea," Blaine shrugged.

"Even better," Kurt smiled, "I don't want you to ever be embarrassed Blaine when it comes to your sister."

"I'm not," Blaine said, "I guess just around other people who don't understand."

Kurt smiled, "Don't worry about it, Finn may even come."

"What are you lady boys up to?" Karofsky asked walking by waving his hands in a girlish way.

Kurt winced at the words, "Its better then being shoved into a locker I suppose," he said watching him walk away. Blaine started rubbing his wrist, Kurt hadn't noticed this movement for awhile, "Can I ask you something Blaine."

"Sure what's up?" Blaine asked.

"I hate to be so foreword, but every time you mention your uncle or I talk about Karofsky, or even something happens with Karofsky, you rub your wrists," Kurt said trying not to look into Blaine's eyes.

Blaine's eyes widened and when he looked down, sure enough his hands touching his wrists, "I guess I never noticed," he said quietly.

Kurt put a hand on his arm, "It's not bad or anything, I just wondered is all. You hadn't done it in so long."

"I haven't?" Blaine asked.

Kurt smiled and shook his head, "No, you did it more when we first met." He shifted on his feet nervously, "But is there a reason you do it? Do you know?"

Blaine shrugged, "I don't think so. I mean after my parents died I was going through a hard time and I picked up a few things."

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked.

"Nothing bad," Blaine said, "I mean I noticed how weird I would get around some things, especially when it reminded me of them."

"That's understandable though," Kurt said, "You wanted to remember them. I mean some times when I do things I instantly remember my mom and smile about it."

Blaine nodded, "Is that what got you through it?" he asked quietly.

"Part of it," Kurt said, "I think just learning to accept what happened over time helped too."

"You don't ever think you'll forgot about her?" Blaine asked him still afraid to look up at him.

Kurt thought for a moment, "Didn't we talk to your sister about this."

Blaine blushed, "I know, but I remember them different then Cassidy does. I mean I sometimes wish I had something to remember them by."

Kurt stood there for a moment, "Where is everything of your parents?"
Blaine shrugged, "No clue, I mean my uncle pretty much gave everything away to Goodwill. I also know that my parents had a storage unit that had some things in it, but I don't know what he did with that."

"I see," Kurt said and then smile, "Come on let's get going, I wanted your opinion on a song."

Blaine smiled, "Sure."

---

"Blaine can we get the Christmas branch this weekend?" Cassidy asked her brother while she was coloring one of her coloring books.

Blaine looked up from his textbook, "I think so. I don't see why not with Christmas just two weeks away."

Cassidy grinned, "And Kurt said he was coming to concert right?"

"Yep, and then Carole, Burt, and Finn are coming too. Oh and Rachel is coming as Finn's date," Blaine smiled.

"Then is Kurt going as your date?" Cassidy asked.

Blaine's pencil went flying out of his hand, "Why do you ask me that?"

"You two like each other," Cassidy said as she kept coloring, "I think you should ask him to go as your date."

"Really?" Blaine asked and then shook his head realizing he was asking his younger sister for dating advice.

"I think you should," Cassidy said swinging her legs.

"I'll think about it," Blaine said.

Cassidy nodded her head, "Tell me what he says."

"I will," Blaine smiled, "But I think it's time for someone to head off to bed."

"Do I have to?" Cassidy whined.

Blaine laughed as he stood up, "Yes you do," he said, "I have an idea. How about I race you, I'll pick up your crayons and if you can brush your teeth faster then I will let you pick the branch without any help."

"With no help?" Cassidy asked with wide eyes.

"Yep," Blaine said with a nod.

Cassidy smiled, "You're on Blainey Boy," and she shot off into the bathroom.

Blaine stood for a moment, "Blainey Boy?" and wondered where in the world Cassidy had gotten that nickname from, "Ashley," he instantly found himself saying out loud with a laugh.

Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Cassidy run out of the bathroom and into her room. Blaine shook his head as he placed her crayons and coloring books on the table. He walked into his sister's room to see her putting on a pair of pajamas, "I beat you," she giggled as she flew into her bed.

"You sure did," Blaine smiled as Cassidy pulled her covers over herself, "Now what book do you want to read tonight?"

Cassidy looked at her collection, "How about Judy Moody."

"Hmmm," Blaine said looking at the shelf and then pulling the book out, "Here we are Judy Moody," he handed the book to her.

"Can I read to you tonight?" Cassidy asked.

"Course you can," Blaine said as he sat down next to sister in the bed.

"Okay Judy Moody Goes to College," Cassidy said reading the title out loud.

"This is going to be a good one," Blaine teased.

Cassidy put her finger to her lips, "Shhh and just listen."

"Right sorry," Blaine said trying to hide his smile.

Cassidy began reading and Blaine listened until she was too tired to read anymore. He set the book down on her table and shut off the light. He ran a hand through his hair as he walked back into the living room and saw the pile of homework he still had to complete.

---

"So I was thinking we could have a different look this year for Regionals," Kurt said, "I was thinking different then you know black like we usually do."

"That sounds great Kurt," Rachel said excitedly, "How about we..." and then she froze.

"What is it?" Kurt asked. Rachel pointed to the boy who was falling asleep into his lunch, "Blaine!"

Blaine shot up right, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"You were falling asleep into your lunch," Kurt said.

Rachel moved over and sat on the other side of him, "Are you alright sweetie?" she asked rubbing his back.

Kurt saw this motion and wondered if Blaine would be okay if it was him doing that not Rachel.

"I'm fine, I just had a lot of homework last night is all," Blaine said.

"You shouldn't over work yourself," Kurt said.

Blaine nodded, "I know, but Cassidy wanted me to listen while she read and I felt bad because I hadn't done it in awhile and I...what?"

Rachel smiled, "I can only think of the lucky person who you get to spend the rest of your life with."

"Why do you say that?" Blaine asked her.

"Because we already know you will be the perfect father," Rachel said, "And I'm sure you've had boyfriends before that you have showered your love with."

"Actually I haven't," Blaine admitted quietly.

Kurt's ear's perked up, "What?"

"I've never been anyone's boyfriend before," Blaine said.

Rachel rubbed Blaine's back, "That's alright, I didn't mean to assume. I just thought maybe-"

"Rachel," Kurt said giving her a look.

"Right, I'm going to go ask Mr. Schuester about that thing," she said as she gathered her stuff and quickly left the lunch table.

Kurt rolled his eyes, "I don't know what goes through that girl's head sometimes."

"It's alright," Blaine shrugged, "I mean I've probably embarrassed myself enough times around guys I like, let alone to ask them out."

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked as he stabbed his salad not really wanting to hear stories about Blaine's crushes.

"Well I told you about the Sadies Hawkins dance, but I mean I didn't really like my friend then. But there was a guy I did like and I got a few of my friends together and we sang him a song," Blaine blushed, "We sang to him while he was working as a junior manager at the GAP. I named it the Warblers GAP Attack. Trust me, I know it was lame."

Kurt froze, "You were in the Warblers?"

Blaine realized he knew he said something wrong, "I was, I went to Dalton for a little while after my parents died, but then there was complications and my uncle withdrew me immediately."

"Oh I'm sorry," Kurt said, "Geez, now I'm saying things at the wrong time."

"No it's fine," Blaine said, "I don't know why I ever tried to hide it. Anyways, I sang to him and the whole fiasco got him fired. He said that his boss didn't know he was gay or something along those lines. I don't know, all I know is that I made an absolute fool out of myself. And I vowed never to screw up like that again."

Kurt reached under the table and took Blaine's hand, "It's alright to screw up every once in awhile."

"I know," Blaine said, "But I mean I hardly think any guy would even think about going for me with the baggage I have."

"What baggage?" Kurt asked.

Blaine lifted an eyebrow, "Cassidy."

"Oh, well I guess...wait, why in the world would you think that?" Kurt asked now turning his entire body towards Blaine.

"Kurt if you haven't noticed, besides the fact that we live in Ohio, I don't think a lot of guys are lining up to date someone who has a sister who is so young and has full custody too," Blaine said looking down, but not untangling his hand with Kurt's.

"Well I think you're wrong," Kurt said quietly, Blaine looked up into Kurt's eyes, "You have no idea how lucky someone would be. I mean when they get you, they get you and a little girl who is amazing. You have to know that Blaine."

Blaine nodded as his eyes started to tear up, "Thanks. And I think I would hug you right now if we weren't at school."

Kurt let out a small laugh, "Alright then Anderson, you owe me one hug later," he held out his hand, "Deal?"

"Deal," Blaine said shaking his hand with a smile.

---

"And then we colored pictures of flowers," Cassidy told Kurt while they colored in one of her Disney Princess coloring books.

Kurt smiled, "Well that must have been fun." They were sitting in the middle of the living room at Kurt's house.

"I like it when you pick me up," Cassidy said coloring Belle's hair.

"I like it too," Kurt smiled. He had picked her up from school because Blaine was working and Katherine needed the night off. Blaine was reluctant to ask at first, but Kurt said yes as soon as Blaine asked. So he left Glee club a bit earlier and ignored some of the teasing his friends were making as he left.

"Look Kurtie, I finished," Cassidy said holding up her finished drawing.

"It's beautiful," Kurt said, and then lifted up his own, "How does mine look?" Cassidy giggled, Kurt looked at his coloring, "What is so funny?" he asked.

"You colored Cinderella's dress wrong," Cassidy said, "It's blue not green."

Kurt bit the inside of his cheek, "Oops sorry. I haven't seen the movie in a long time."

Cassidy smiled, "That's okay," and she stood up walking over to the backpack her and Blaine had packed the night before which Blaine gave to Kurt that day at school. "I have the movie right here."

Kurt laughed, "Okay, how about we watch it before dinner?"

Cassidy grinned as Kurt took the case from her and put the DVD in the player. After picking up her crayons and coloring books, they settled in on the couch to watch the movie.

Sometime during the movie Finn had come home after playing video games at Puck's house, and then Carole and Burt came home from work.

The movie ended and Carole called them in for dinner. Cassidy remembered all her manners, and she tried to remember everything Blaine had asked her to do.

"So Cassidy your concert is on Friday night right?" Carole asked as she served her noodles on her place.

"Yup," Cassidy said with a smile, "I can't wait for my solo."

"What's the song?" Finn asked curiously as he started eating a piece of bread.

"It's a secret," Cassidy giggled, "Not even Blaine knows."

"Well then I guess we'll have to pay extra close special attention through out the whole show," Kurt smiled.

Cassidy nodded her head, "Yep and its good you all have dates now too."

Kurt's eyes widened, "What?" he asked with his fork frozen mid way from his face and plate.

"Well Burt and Carole are married. Rachel and Finn are together, and then you and Blaine silly," Cassidy said, "I told Blaine to ask you. He did ask you right?"

Finn snickered and Kurt kicked him under the table, "Of course he did. I almost forgot is all."

"Good," Cassidy said taking a bit of her dinner, "I'm done, may I be excused?"

"Course dear," Carole said with a nod.

"Thank you," Cassidy said jumping off of her chair and running into the living room.

"He didn't ask you did he?" Burt asked.

Kurt shook his head, "It doesn't matter though, it's just his little sister's concert," he waved his hand and saw Cassidy pulling out a book from her bag.

Carole looked at him, "Kurt..."

Kurt just held up his hand and he picked up his and Cassidy's plates, "Don't worry about it, please?" He set the plates in the sink and walked into the living room following Cassidy.

"Why can't they just be happy together?" Finn said out loud.

Burt and Carole looked at him, his mom put her hand on top of his, "I don't know sweetheart, but hopefully one day they will."

Cassidy and Kurt were sitting in the in the living room when they heard a knock at the door, "Is it Blaine?" Cassidy asked.

"I don't know," Kurt shrugged, "Let's see." He stood up walking to the door with Cassidy following right behind him.

Kurt opened the door and sure enough there was Blaine who had texted him about ten minutes saying he was on his way. Blaine looked around, "Darn I thought I came here to pick up something, now what was it."

"I can't seem to remember myself," Kurt teased as he brought his hand to his chin.

Cassidy giggled behind Kurt. "Now I knew I came to your house for a reason," Blaine scratched his head.

"Why don't you come in and think about it," Kurt said to him with a wink. Blaine walked in the door and Cassidy stayed in back of Kurt. Finn came in and sat down on the couch turning on the TV to start flipping through the channels.

Blaine saw the coloring books opened on the floor, "These are beautiful drawings Kurt, did you do them all yourself?"

"I did, aren't they marvelous?" Kurt said, "This one I think I did a wonderful job on the shading."

"Yes, I do believe you did," Blaine nodded with a smile.

"Hey I drew that," Cassidy said jumping up and down in front of Blaine now.

"You did?" Blaine asked picking her up, "Well my goodness and who might you be?"

"I'm Cassidy silly," she said leaning her forehead against Blaine's.

"Of course I know who you are," Blaine laughed. Kurt didn't realize he was as close as he was to Blaine and Cassidy, but he reached out and brushed Cassidy's hair behind her ears and laughed himself.

Finn looked at him, "Dudes that is weird."

"What?" Kurt asked now picking up some of Cassidy's things. Blaine had set her down now and she began to help.

"Just you...it's weird is all," Finn said. Kurt and Blaine exchanged looks, "Not in a bad way, it's just, you know, never mind."

"No what Finn," Kurt said throwing a pillow at him, "You brought it up, so finish it."

"It's just you three look sort of like a makeshift sorta family like thing," Finn blurted out.

Blaine blushed and picked up Cassidy's backpack, "Here Sissy, you can put your stuff away."

"It's not a bad thing," Finn said scooting closer to the edge of the couch, "It was just me saying stuff. Don't listen to me. No one listens to me."

Kurt gave him a look and Finn shut his mouth, "Thanks Finn," he said rolling his eyes.

Carole walked into the room, "Oh hello Blaine dear, how was your shift tonight?"

"It was great Carole," Blaine said with a smile, "I mean we had a small fire, but you know it's a coffee shop."

"There was a small fire?" Cassidy asked with wide eyes.

"Yep and I was one of the only ones smart enough to pick up the lid to cover it," Blaine said with a laugh.

"You're a firefighter now," Cassidy said jumping up and down, "My brother's a firefighter. My brother's a firefighter."

Burt walked in the room, "What's going on?"

"Nothing," Blaine said with a smile, "Cassidy come on we have to get home."

Cassidy stopped dancing around, "But I don't wanna go home, can't we stay a little longer? Please?"

"You have school in the morning darling," Blaine said.

"Fine," Cassidy said crossing her arms and then she made a face.

Blaine smiled and knew what that particular face meant, "Go use the bathroom and I'll get your stuff together. Hop quick like a bunny," he said patting her butt. Cassidy giggled and ran towards the bathroom.

"How do you ever say no to that face?" Carole said with a smile.

Blaine let out a laugh, "I honestly have no idea to tell you the truth," he said while Kurt put some of the Cassidy's things in the backpack he was holding.

"And just wait until she starts dating," Burt teased.

Blaine covered his ears, "I'm not listening. La la la."

Kurt laughed, "Oh wonderful."

"She is not dating until she is thirty," Blaine said.

"I am not," Cassidy said walking up behind him, "He is always saying silly things like that."

"You think I'm joking do you?" Blaine asked picking her up and tickling her sides.

Cassidy giggled, "Stop it Blainey."

"I don't know," Blaine said, "You need to promise."

"Fine fine," Cassidy laughed, "I won't tell anyone about the blue cheese accident!"

Blaine set her down, "Good, now get your coat and boots on," he laughed.

"Blue cheese accident?" Finn asked.

"You don't ever want to know," Blaine said.

"I have a feeling one day we will," Kurt said with a smile.

"You won't," Blaine said shaking his head, "If I have something to do with it, you will never hear that story."

Cassidy zipped up her coat, "I'm ready."

Blaine smiled as he took her gloves from her pockets and helped her put them on, "Now you're ready Munchkin."

"You are so silly," Cassidy smiled.

"It's because I'm your older brother," Blaine said leaning his forehead to hers.

Cassidy grinned, "I know."

Blaine stood up, "Thanks for taking care of her."

"It was no problem," Kurt said, "I like babysitting."

"I don't need a babysitter," Cassidy said putting her hands on her hips.

Blaine snorted a laugh, "Yeah, she doesn't need a babysitter. She needs a care taker."

Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Right, course, sorry about the confusion. I'll walk you two out," he said putting his own boots on.

"Alright, come on you," Blaine said holding out his hand, "Thanks for everything," he said giving the rest of the family a wave.

Kurt opened the door and they walked outside, "Geez it's just cold now isn't it," he said wrapping his arms around himself.

Blaine smiled at him as they walked to his car, "Thanks again, I don't know..."

Kurt put his hand on Blaine's arm, "Trust me, I enjoyed it. Cassidy is a lot of fun if you didn't know."

"I am," Cassidy said with a laugh.

Blaine opened the door and helped Cassidy get into her seat, "All buckled up?"

"Yep," Cassidy nodded, "Now I will leave you two alone," and she shut her door.

Blaine looked at the closed door and then over at Kurt, "What...is...did she say anything to you?"

Kurt looked down and then back up, "She may have mentioned something about her concert."

Blaine's face blushed red, "I'm sorry, I didn't think she would actually ask you about it. She just sort of pressured me and I said I would ask you and then I was going to ask you, but then I chickened out. And I think-"

"Then ask me now," Kurt said smiling.

Blaine looked at Kurt and sighed out of relief, "Would you like to come with to my little sister's concert with me?"

Kurt felt his smile widen, "I would love to accompany you."

Blaine let out a laugh and scratch the back of his neck. He heard his sister say something, he opened his door, "What was that?"

"I said if you aren't going to kiss him, let's go home," Cassidy said crossing her arms.

"Right, I'll see you later then," Blaine said to Kurt, who was trying not to laugh, "I mean I'll see you..."

Kurt took a step forward and kissed Blaine on the cheek, "Bye Blaine. Bye Cassidy," he said waving his hand towards her.

Cassidy waved back and Kurt started to walk up the driveway as Blaine slid into his seat. Blaine smiled to himself as he started his car and on the ride home. He was smiling when he pulled his bed out that night. And he smiled as he felt himself drift off to sleep.

---

"Blaine it doesn't match!" Cassidy said, "I need my bow in my hair to match my dress."

"Okay," Blaine said in a panic, "Wait here," and he quickly walked out of her room and looked through his clothes until he found what he was looking for. He smiled to himself and grabbed a few of the hair pins he bought when Cassidy started school.

Blaine walked back into the room, "I think I found a solution," he said smiling.

"What's that?" Cassidy asked.

"Just hold still for a moment," Blaine said as he stepped behind his sister and started to play with her hair. "Almost there," he said while he began putting the hair pins in to hold it steady, "And done, what do you think?"

Cassidy ran into the bathroom and looked at her hair, "Wow," and she ran back into her room, "It looks great. Thank you!" she said hugging his legs.

Blaine smiled, "Alright, we need to get going then, you have to there in there next couple minutes."

"Okay," Cassidy said as they walked out of her room.

Blaine held up her coat, "One sleevey," he said as Cassidy put her arm in to the sleeve, "And two sleevey," as she put her other arm in the coat.

Cassidy giggled as she zipped up her coat up. "I'm all ready to go," she said twirling around.

"Great," Blaine said putting on his own coat, "Let's get going then." Blaine was more then excited about tonight not only does his little sister, but he is also going on a date with Kurt. He knew it wasn't a real date, yet that couldn't take the smile off of his face.

They got to the auditorium and Cassidy took Blaine's hand as they walked inside. "Are you nervous?" Blaine asked.

Cassidy shook her head, "Nope." Then she suddenly hugged Blaine's legs, "I am, don't make me go up there."

Blaine kneeled down next to his sister, "Can I tell you something." Cassidy nodded her head, "I think you are going to be amazing. Scratch that, I don't think I know you will do amazing. I know you have a wonderful singing voice and I can't wait to hear what song you are going to sing. And I want you to sing to me, alright. Can you do that?"

Cassidy nodded, "Yeah I can. What if I don't see you though?"

Blaine smiled, "You will. Trust me when you got on that stage I'm more then positive you will find me in the crowd."

"Okay," Cassidy smiled and took off her coat, "I need to go in the back."

Blaine took her coat, "You are going to be amazing baby girl," he said kissing her forehead. "I'm going to be right out here waiting for Kurt and his family to come okay?"

"Alright," Cassidy said.

"Good luck Sissy," Blaine said. Cassidy smiled at him and then skipped down the hallway.

"Hello again," Blaine turned around and saw Mrs. Carver, Cassidy's principal standing there.

Blaine smiled, "Hi, Mrs. Carver right."

"That's correct," Mrs. Carver said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for awhile."

"Oh," Blaine said scratching the back of his neck, "Yeah, I have school and work sometimes."

"I'm happy to see you here though," Mrs. Carver says with a smile.

"Well Cassidy has a solo and I wouldn't miss it for the world," Blaine said and then saw Kurt walk in through the doors. "Now if you'll excuse me my date is here," he said smiling and walking away from the woman.

Blaine knew there were others with Kurt, but he didn't see them. He smiled and walked over to the group, "Hi everyone!" He knew he was addressing the whole group, but he was only looking at Kurt.

Kurt smiled at him, "Hi."

"So this is exciting," Carole said, "Has Cassidy already gone off?"

"Yeah," Blaine nodded, "She needed to meet with her group in the green room. She wouldn't stop talking about it."

"I remember my first concert," Rachel said smiling.

Blaine laughed, "She used to dance, but hasn't in a while. She seemed a bit nervous."

"I'm sure she will do wonderful," Kurt smiled at him.

"Come on, let's find some seats," Burt said walking in front of the group.

Carole looked at the others, "I swear," and she followed her husband. The rest of the group followed behind them.

"How does this look?" Burt asked showing them a row.

"Sure," Blaine said with a nod as they shuffled into the row of seats.

Kurt opened the program they were given at the door, "Let's see, it says here that Cassidy has a solo in the Twelve Days of Christmas."

Blaine grinned, "I know."

"I thought she says she wasn't going to tell you," Finn said.

"She did," Blaine said, "But I heard her practicing it all week in her room. It's sort of hard to not hear her."

"Oh okay," Finn said with a nod and went back to his conversation with Rachel.

"So was it hard getting her ready?" Kurt asked.

Blaine watched as he set his arm down on the armrest between them and wondered should he hold Kurt's hand or just leave it. Or maybe Kurt forgot he asked him to go as his date. Or maybe Kurt thought he did it just to please his sister. Or maybe-

"Blaine," Kurt said waving his hand in his face.

"Sorry, I just spaced out there," Blaine said giving him a smile.

"Right, I asked was it hard to get her ready?" Kurt asked.

Blaine shrugged, "Nothing a big brother couldn't handle. We have a small hair emergency, but I fixed it with one of my bowties."

Kurt made a face, "Excuse me?"

"You'll see," Blaine grinned and then brought his hand up to instantly hold Kurt's hand giving it a squeeze. His eyes widened when he did, because he didn't mean to do it and he didn't want to let go. He realized Kurt didn't let go either, so he decided to leave his hand there.

"What part does she have?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine gave him a wink, "I'll let you find that one out."

The lights went out signaling the show would be starting. A woman walked out and Blaine recognized her as Mrs. Carter, "Hello and welcome to our school's holiday concert. The students worked extra hard this year with singing and putting together this wonderful show. So without further ado I would like to introduce our first graders."

Blaine watched out of the corner of his eye, Finn took out a camcorder, "We figured we may as well record it for you," Kurt whispered to him.

Blaine felt himself already get teary eyed, "Thank you."

"There she is," Kurt pointed at the children on the stage. Blaine smiled as he saw his little sister on the stage with her red dress she picked out herself and the bowtie in her hair. He didn't really know if he could feel any prouder.

The first graders went through and sang a happy little song that made Kurt nudge Blaine and say, "Just imagine that was us all those years ago."

Blaine smiled and nodded as he watched his sister's choir. Suddenly it was the song with Cassidy's solo in it and he sat up straighter. The group started singing.

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

Blaine smiled as he saw his sister singing along and waiting for her solo. Finally it came to the last verse and it seemed all the different parts had a solo.

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,

Blaine saw his sister at the microphone and belt out her line.

Five golden rings,

Blaine laughed and clapped for his sister, who smiled herself.

Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Blaine stood up and started clapping enthusiastically for his sister who bowed. He saw the twinkle in her eyes.

Cassidy waved at them in the audience and Kurt was clapping. He turned towards Blaine, "That was amazing."

Blaine nodded his head, but looked over at Kurt with a smile. They sat for the rest for the rest of the concert and finally the last song involved all of the grades. The first graders were in the front. Blaine watched as Cassidy walked to the front.

The microphone was lowered for her and she took the piece of paper that was handed to her, "My name is Cassidy Anderson. I'm in the first grade and I am six years old."

Blaine froze, he didn't know what his sister was going to say.

"We were asked what our Christmas wishes were. And for this Christmas I wished for my brother to be happy. He has taken care of me since I was little and I learned everything from him. He taught me how to tie my shoes, showed me my first Disney movie, and told me that it's okay to cry sometimes. I love my brother and I want for him to be happy," Cassidy finally looked up and smiled, "I love you Blainey!"

Blaine couldn't believe what he was hearing, he knew his little sister was amazing. Suddenly there was shouting and Blaine turned to Kurt who was pulling his arm, "They want you to stand up," he whispered pushing him up.

Blaine stood up and gave a small wave now the lights were on. Cassidy was on the stage waving, "That's my brother!" Blaine waved back shyly as the teacher then told Cassidy to get back in line so they could finish there last song.

Blaine sat back down and couldn't take the smile off of his face. He listened to the song they were singing about miracles happening all through the year. They finally walked out of the auditorium and were able to pick up there kids.

Cassidy ran straight into Blaine's arms, "Did you like it?"

"You were amazing," Blaine said as he leaned his forehead on his sister's, "I loved the surprise speech you made."

Cassidy grinned, "I know."

"You were awesome," Finn said.

"Thanks Finn," Cassidy said smiling, "What did you think Rachel?"

Rachel smiled and patted her leg, "You were wonderful."

"How about we go out for some celebratory ice cream?" Burt offered and looked Blaine.

Cassidy looked at Blaine with her eyes, "Please Blainey."

"Yeah, please Blainey," Kurt teased.

Blaine sighed, "Alright, but only because it's not a school night."

"Yeah," Cassidy cheered, "Kurt thank you for helping me with my speech."

"Of course," Kurt smiled.

"Wait, you helped her with that?" Blaine asked as they walked out of the building.

"Yeah, it's when she came over that day," Kurt said, "She said she had the assignment and the winner would read there wish at the concert."

"And Kurtie helped me write it," Cassidy smiled, "Carole helped too."

Carole smiled, "It was worth it to see your face."

Blaine blushed and leaned his head on Cassidy's, "You will always amaze me baby girl."

"Can we get ice cream now?" Cassidy asked.

"Yeah we can get ice cream now," Blaine smiled.

Cassidy pulled on Blaine's arm, "Can Kurt ride in our car?"

"That's up to Kurt," Blaine said looking over at him.

Kurt smiled, "Well I guess considering we are on a date," he whispered.

Blaine blushed, "I guess you're right. Let's go!"

They went out for ice cream and as Blaine was tucking Cassidy in for the night she crawled under the covers, "I had a lot of fun tonight."

Blaine smiled, "I did too."

"And I'm glad you and Kurt finally went on your date," Cassidy said.

"Alright, time for bed you," Blaine said tucking the blankets around her, "I love you."

"I love you too," Cassidy smiled.

Blaine walked out of her room turning down the lights and leaving the door opened ajar.
