Cassidy and Blaine shuffled in, "Sorry we had a bit of a disagreement," he said with his eyes shifting towards his little sister.

Burt let out a laugh, "I guess that would explain it, let me take your coats."

Cassidy and Blaine took off there jackets, "Here you go Burt," Cassidy said with a smile.

"Why thank you," Burt smiled.

Blaine noticed how much Burt had warmed up to Cassidy over the past few months. He figured Burt wasn't really used to little girls and it warmed his heart knowing that Cassidy had a small effect on him.

"I was wondering if I could talk to you," Burt said looking at Blaine.

Blaine shook his thoughts away, "Yeah, that's fine."

Burt waved him to follow him as he walked down the hall into Finn's room. He set the coats on Finn's bed, "I just wanted to say that I'm happy for you two."

Blaine gave him a blank stare and then it hit him, "Oh, right yeah."

Burt put a hand on his shoulder, "Honestly I haven't seen Kurt this happy in a long time." He picked up his hat off his head and held it in his hands, "One time I told him that he had to get used to being alone until he found someone like him, someone open and brave."

Blaine waited patiently for Burt to talk. When he realized he must have run out of words to say he smiled, "I'm happy to be by his side then."

Burt patted his shoulder, "Come on I know Kurt has been waiting to see you all day," he said walking out of the room.

Blaine followed and Kurt was sitting on the couch having a conversation with Cassidy. He leaned on the wall and watched them. When they finally finished Cassidy ran over to him and he picked her up, "Well what do I owe the pleasure?"

Cassidy kissed his cheek, "I love you," she hugged him.

"I love you too," Blaine said hugging her back, "What were you talking to Kurt about?"

"My dress," Cassidy smiled, "He said it looked nice on me."

"Well I'm glad," Blaine set his sister down and she ran over to join Burt and Carole in the kitchen.

Kurt had walked over to him, "I see my Dad already cornered you."

Blaine let out a small laugh, "It was bound to happen, I mean he really cares about you."

Kurt smiled, "I know," he slipped his hand in Blaine's, "It is nice to see you again," he leaned over and kissed Blaine's cheek.

Blaine smiled and kissed the corner of Kurt's mouth, "It's New Year's Eve."

"It is," Kurt nodded; he really didn't know why Blaine had said that. It was just another holiday in the year.

Blaine gave him a look, "Oh, never mind," he tried to walk away.

"Wait," Kurt pulled his arm, "What is it? What were you thinking?"

"Well it's sort of my first New Year's to actually kiss someone at midnight," Blaine said with his face getting red.

Kurt's own face reddened, "Mine too," he stroked the back of Blaine's hand with his thumb, "And I can't wait," he said giving a shy smile.

"Oh...I thought maybe since your friends," Blaine said quietly.

Kurt shrugged, "I could care less what they think, besides I know to well that Puckerman has been pushing us to get together for some reason."

"Who told you that?" Blaine asked.

"Finn," Kurt said.

Blaine nodded, "Where is Finn by the way?"

"Over at Rachel's," Kurt looked over at him, "Rachel and her dads were going to come over for dinner too."

"That will be nice," Blaine said.

Kurt smiled and squeezed Blaine's hand, "I liked the dress Cassidy eventually picked out."

"That's because you helped pick it out," Blaine rolled his eyes.

Kurt grinned, "Excuse me," and he tickled Blaine's side.

"No stop," Blaine said letting go of Kurt's hand, "I don't...stop," he said through his laughs.

Kurt stopped and kissed Blaine's cheek again, "Blaine Anderson is ticklish, writing that one down."

Blaine rolled his eyes as they heard the door open. Finn and Rachel stepped in, and followed by Rachel's parents. "Hey guys," Rachel smiled and waved at them.

"Hi," Blaine smiled back.

Cassidy ran into the room, "Rachel!" she shouted and ran to grab her legs.

Rachel laughed, "Nice to see you to Cassidy."

"Cassidy let Rachel and everyone come in," Blaine said walking towards them.

"I don't mind," Rachel said taking off her scarf, "It sure is cold outside though."

"Yeah it is," one of the men said from behind her.

"Oh Blaine these are my dads," Rachel smiled, "LeRoy and Hiram," she said introducing them, "This is Blaine, you know the boy I had been telling you about," she nudged one of them.

"We got it," LeRoy smiled, he held out his hand, "It's nice to finally meet you, Rachel has told us so many wonderful things about you."

Blaine shook both of there hands, "It's nice to meet you too." Burt and Carole stepped in the room to say hello to Rachel and her dads too.

Rachel looked down at Cassidy, "Look at that dress you have on, it's beautiful."

"Thank you," Cassidy said twirling, "Kurt helped me pick it out."

"Hey I was there too," Blaine said.

Kurt looked over at him, "And all you wanted to do was go look at the bowties," he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Cassidy said putting her hands on her hips, "You kept going on about this one that had purple spots on it." Everyone laughed while Blaine put his head in hands. "But I still love you," Cassidy smiled and hugged him.

"Thanks," Blaine said and she grabbed his finger to twirl her, "I forgot, did you feed Stormy this morning?"

Cassidy nodded, "Yep Stormageddon is all fed."

Rachel looked at them, "Storma�”what?"

"Stormageddon," Cassidy said, "He is my kitten that Santa Claus brought me," she smiled, "We just call him Stormy for short."

"Oh," Rachel said looking at Blaine who just shrugged as if saying her cat, she named it what she wanted. "I take it you like Stormy then?"

Cassidy nodded, "Yeah, he is so nice. He likes to cuddle in my bed, but then sometimes he cuddles in Blaine's bed."

"I'd rather he sleeps in your bed," Blaine said, "One morning I woke up because he clawing at my chest."

"It's because you are so soft and squishy," Cassidy teased poking his stomach. Everyone laughed again.

Blaine mumbled something, "What was that?" Kurt asked him.

"Nothing," Blaine smiled at him, "Nothing at all."

"Alright come on everyone, dinner is ready now," Carole said waving everyone to the dining room.

Once everyone was sitting down they all started the meal and small conversations started popping up here and there. "So Cassidy," LeRoy asked her, "What is your favorite subject in school?"
Cassidy thought for a moment and tapped her chin, "Math and music, I also like science a lot."

"She is smart one," Hiram teased.

"Oh she is," Blaine nodded, "She will be the first female president of the United States," he said poking her side.

Cassidy giggled and nodded, "Yep after I write my book and become a famous star."

Blaine laughed, "Big dreams Sissy."

"I know," Cassidy said, "But when I said I wanted to be an astronaut I heard one night you said..."

Blaine quickly covered his little sister's mouth, "Okay, I got it. I remember what I said." He was glad not everyone was listening to there conversation.

Kurt looked over, "Is something wrong?"

"Nope," Blaine shook his head, "Nothing," he smiled.

Cassidy pushed Blaine's hand away, "Excuse me," she said hopping off her chair and disappearing to the bathroom.

"She is really sweet kid," LeRoy smiled.

"Yeah she is," Blaine said scratching the back of his neck, "Although sometimes I think she is to smart for her own good."

"Makes sense," Kurt said, "You two are related."

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.

"I'm sorry Blaine, but have you seen your grades," Kurt squeezed his hand he was holding under the table, "I honestly think you don't even know how smart you are."

Blaine blushed, "I..."

"So Blaine where you thinking of going to college?" Hiram asked.

"Daddy," Rachel said turning towards her father quickly.

"What I'm just asking him question," Hiram said with a laugh.

"It's alright Rachel," Blaine smiled, "Truth be told sir, I don't really think I have decided yet."

"Oh, you have any ideas where you would like to go?" LeRoy asked.

Blaine then blushed, "I...well...I don't..."

"Blainey!" Cassidy came running up to him, "I remembered something."

"What's that sweetheart?" Blaine asked picking her up and setting her in his lap.

"I remembered that you promised me you let me stay up tonight, remember," Cassidy said pulling on his arm.

Blaine smiled, "Of course I remembered. And I won't go back on my word, even though I know a certain little girl who was a bit on the argumentive side this evening."

Cassidy made a face, "But Blainey..."

"Oh I'm just joking," Blaine said kissing her cheek, "I'll try to wake you up before midnight," he teased.

Cassidy pushed off her brother's lap and into her own seat, "I'm going to stay awake the whole night, you'll see."

"I'm sure you are," Kurt said from next to Blaine, "Do you think you can even make it straight up to midnight though?"

Cassidy looked at him and crossed her arms over her chest, "I'm going to stay up and that's final."

Blaine laughed, "Sure Sissy," he kissed the top of her head. The group finished eating there dinner and then soon after more guests started arriving. Everyone kept commenting on Cassidy's dress, which she loved the attention for.

Blaine was leaning against the wall in the background. He was watching Cassidy telling some of the girls from the Glee club a story about her new kitten at home.

"She sure likes the attention," Kurt said leaning into him.

Blaine nodded, "Yeah, I have a small feeling if she starts hanging out with Rachel to much she will turn into her."

Kurt laughed, "That wouldn't be so bad, now would it?"

Blaine turned towards him and lifted an eyebrow, "I can not believe you Kurt Hummel would say those words."

Kurt laughed and then heard the door bell, "I'll get it," he shouted as he made his way towards the door. Blaine had absentmindly followed Kurt to the door.

Kurt opened the door and revealed Ashley smiling, "Hi guys."

"Ash you made it," Blaine smiled as he pulled her in for a hug.

"Course I did," Ashley smiled, "I had a few other offers tonight, but I figured you might actually have some stuff here."

"I'll take your coat," Kurt laughed as Ashley took her scarf and coat off.

Blaine thought for a moment, "I thought you were seeing that Rick or Rich guy."

"Please Blaine, he is so last week," Ashley said waving her hand.

"Ashley!" Cassidy yelled running into her arms.

Ashley laughed as Cassidy jumped up, "Well hello there little darling. And how are you this feeling this evening?"

"I'm going to stay up all night," Cassidy exclaimed, "Blaine said I could."

"Well what do you know, Blaine said I could stay up too," Ashley said smiling at the small girl in her arms.

"I'm sorry I don't believe we have had the pleasure of meeting each other," Burt said walking over to them.

"Oh sorry, I'm Ashley, I work with Blaine at the Lima Bean," she said introducing herself, "And I would offer you a hand to shake, but this little munchkin makes things impossible for me," she tickled Cassidy's sides.

"Ashley!" Cassidy laughed, "Help me Blaine!"

Blaine laughed and scooped her out of Ashley's arms, "Now you know that since I saved you, I should get something out of this deal."

Cassidy wiggled herself out of Blaine's arms, "No way mister. You can never catch me now!" She ran off in another direction.

Kurt came back, "So I see that this place is hopping now," he grins as he holds onto Blaine's hand.

Blaine smiles over at him, "I would say your family is hosting a lovely party."

Kurt grinned and kissed Blaine on the nose, "That reminds me�”"

"What was that?"

Kurt and Blaine looked in the direction of there friends, they all had surprised looks on there faces. "Did our dolphins finally get together?" Brittany asked.

Cassidy scrunched her face, "What's a dolphin?"

Ashley folded her arms across her chest, "And you didn't tell me this because?"

Blaine just smiled and looked at the ground, "Well it's new to us too," he whispered.

Ashley reached out and grabbed them both for a hug, "Finally!" she squealed out loud and let them, "Finally! After the dancing around you two did for months, I was ready to bash your heads in."

"Well this girl knows what she is talking about," Puck said walking up next to Ashley.

Ashley glanced at him, "Is that a dead rat on your head?"

Everyone in the room laughed. "Wait," Rachel stood up, "Kurt and Blaine finally got together," she exclaimed happily, "We need to celebrate."

Cassidy bounced up and down from her seat on the couch and giggled, "We are celebrating."

"You are right," Mercedes smiled, "Now that we know you are two finally got together, I think we can now rag on you for all those times we wanted you two to get together, but wouldn't."

Blaine's eyes widened, "Not in front of the kid," Kurt said tossing his head towards Cassidy, "Besides you have forever to make fun of us."

Blaine smiled over at Cassidy who looked so small in between Mercedes and Rachel. Cassidy stood up and walked over to her brother, "I love you Blainey."

Everyone in the room made an awwwing noise. Blaine reached down and picked up his little sister, "I love you too Sissy."

"Even if we fight?" Cassidy asked with her eyes looking sad.

"Even when we fight," Blaine said still smiling at her.

Kurt put his hand on Blaine's back, "I have an idea," he smiled at them, "How about we play a game now."

"Trivial Pursuit!" Finn shouted already walking down the hallway to get the game. Everyone laughed at Finn's obsession with the game.

Soon the entire group was sitting on the floor playing the game. They were in teams and were pretty competitive when playing.

"No way, you didn't say the full answer only part of it," Sam said showing the answer.

Blaine had Cassidy in his lap and then he had his head leaning on Kurt's shoulder, "Your friends are crazy."

Kurt snorted a laugh, "They are your friends too you know."

"I guess you're right," Blaine sighs and looks down at Cassidy who is trying hard to stay awake in his lap.

"Are you okay?" Kurt says softly ignoring everyone arguing around them.

"I'm fine," Blaine says quietly, "Just a little tired is all."

Kurt reaches over and grabs Blaine's hand from his knee, "If you fall asleep I will wake you up before midnight."

Blaine hums, "Thanks," he responds quietly.

"Fine," Finn huffs in response, "Forget it."

Kurt rolls his eyes at his step brother, "You know Finn you don't have to win every time we play the game. I think you memorized the entire deck anyways."

"Well that's hardly fair," Quinn points out.

Rachel just waves her hand, "He has not, I swear. He is just good with the sports questions and..." she turned her head and saw Cassidy and Blaine asleep. She takes out her phone and quickly takes a picture. "Sorry I had too."

"I will only accept your apology if you send me a copy that," Kurt smirks at her. Rachel smiles back at him.

"Do you think they want to sleep in a bed?" Burt asks him.

Kurt shook his head, "Nah, they both want to be up at midnight, it's less then an hour away anyways."

"They both look so peaceful when they sleep," Tina smiles looking at them.

Kurt turns his head to kiss Blaine on the head, who shifted a little on his shoulder. "I think they both look perfect."

The group went back to there game and, of course, Finn's team won. And Rachel just wanted to point out that if they had not kept getting sports questions they probably would have lost. They were all settled in and watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve. Blaine, with a sleeping little sister still in his lap, was still sleeping on Kurt's shoulder.

Kurt noticed it was about fifteen minutes until midnight. He gently nudged Blaine, "Sweetie," he smiled as Blaine shifted slightly, "Hey it's almost midnight."

Blaine opened an eye, "I fell asleep."

Kurt grinned, "Yes you did. I hope I'm a comfy pillow."

"You are," Blaine smiled as he closed his eyes again, "I'm getting to old to stay up this late."

Kurt laughed, "So my old man going to wake up her up?"

"Yeah," Blaine nodded, "She really wanted to see the ball drop this year. What time is it?"

"We have eleven minutes until midnight," Kurt said looking at the television.

Blaine finally lifted his head from Kurt's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't drool on you," he blushed.

Kurt shrugged, "It's alright, this shirt is washable."

Blaine smiled at him and then turned to his sister, "Hey Sissy," he said shaking her a little, "It's almost midnight, time to wake up honey."

Cassidy picked her head up and rubbed her eyes, "Did the ball drop yet?"

"No, not yet," Kurt answers for her.

Cassidy lies her head back on Blaine's chest, "Okay, I'm excited I get to stay up so late."

"Good thing you're staying awake then," Blaine teases.

"I would hate to wake that up," Puck says, "My mom has to wake my little sister up and it's a nightmare."

Blaine smiles, "It's not so bad, sometimes I just start singing and she wakes up or I play some music. She is pretty easy going when she doesn't agree about wearing her princess dress."

"Oh is that what she wanted to wear tonight," Kurt laughs.

"Yes," Blaine nods, "And after that fight, which I think is the most rebellious she has ever been in awhile, I think we should probably have a talk."

"How is it you are only seventeen, but you act like a grown up?" Finn asked.

Everyone in the room went silent and Blaine looked down at his little sister with a sad expression on his face. Carole and Burt shifted uneasily as Finn asked the question. Some of the other adults in the room ignored them and continued to watch the television.

Blaine sighed, "I guess because I have to be. If I just fooled around all the time, I couldn't support her like I should."

"Yeah, but you don't have to," Puck adds in.

Blaine tenses, "But that's the thing, I do. You don't know what it was like where we lived before. I couldn't have my sister growing up in an environment like that. I want to think I saved her from that hideous place."

"You did," Kurt reaches up and tucks a stray curl behind his ear kissing his temple. He turns to glare at Puck, "And no one will ever tell you otherwise."

Blaine is still staring down at his sister, "Sweetie you need to wake up if you want to see the ball drop."

Cassidy squirmed in his arms again, "I didn't sleep past it?"

"Nope," Blaine shook his head, "You still have five minutes," he points at the television.

Cassidy sits up straighter in Blaine's lap, "Okay."

Blaine leans his head back on Kurt's shoulder, "I'm happy I'm here with you," he says quietly and kisses Kurt's neck.

Kurt's smiles broadens, "I'm glad you're here too."

The minutes were slowly counting down. Cassidy was squirming in Blaine's lap; she was excited to see the ball drop. Suddenly the group was counting down and the numbers were getting smaller.

"3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!" everyone shouted. Cassidy jumped out of Blaine's lap yelling.

Kurt and Blaine turned towards each other and both leaned in to press there lips together. They kept it sweet and short. Kurt pulls back a little and then leans his forehead on Blaine's, "Happy New Year," he says quietly.

Blaine smiled at him, "Happy New Year," he laughed.

They were interrupted when Cassidy jumped on Blaine's lap and kissed him on the cheek, "Happy New Year!" she squeals.

"Happy New Year to you too," Blaine laughs kissing his sister on the cheek.

Kurt kisses her other cheek, "Happy New Year Cassidy."

Cassidy leans over to kiss Kurt on the cheek, "I made it!"

"You did," Blaine laughed, "And I'm sure now you are just exhausted."

"No I'm not," Cassidy rolls out of Blaine's lap, "I am going to stay up every New Years Eve now."

"Well I can't imagine how that will go," Blaine says to himself.

Rachel came over and kissed the both of them on the cheek wishing them a Happy New Year.

"I think this is going to be a pretty good year," Kurt leans back on the couch squeezing Blaine's hand.

Blaine smiled at him, "I think it will be too," he said squeezing back.

Everyone began singing and celebrated ringing in the New Year with one another.
