Author's Notes: And here we are on chapter five! The fifth chapter. The chapter that is numbered five. I have to say that I am excited to post this one because some stuff is finally going to be coming up with the next few. I may post the next chapter tomorrow since I know this one is a bit shorter than the rest. I hope you enjoy!Thanks to all the follows, favorites, and reviews too! Whenever I get one I save them under a folder in my email. I suppose it's silly, but I love all you for doing that! : ) Anyways, on with the show!Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. Yet I do own Cassidy and she is my little munchkin.

"Sure," Kurt said nodding, "Let me just put my bag in my car," he walked over to his car.

Blaine realized just how dirty his own car was. He quickly opened the door and cleaned off the passenger seat, "Blaine why are cleaning off that seat?"

"Because Kurt will need somewhere to sit," Blaine said as he put some of the stuff next to Cassidy who was sitting in the back seat.

"Oh," Cassidy said, "Can I get chicken nuggets today?"

Blaine stopped and smiled at his sister, "Anything you like," he tapped her nose causing her to giggle.

"All set," Kurt said from behind him.

"Oh okay," Blaine said holding open the passenger door, "Here you are," he laughed.

"Thank you," Kurt said smiling back and sitting in the car.

Blaine ran over and jumped into the driver's side, "Ready to go first mate?" he asked Cassidy in the rearview mirror.

"Yes Captain," Cassidy said giving a salute.

Blaine put the keys in the ignition and started the car, the Aladdin soundtrack started blasting out of the speakers, he smiled sheepishly, "Sorry about that," he said turning towards Kurt.

Kurt let out a small laugh, "Its fine. Didn't you say that you don't take Cassidy to school in the morning though?"

"Yeah, I can't," Blaine said putting the car in gear. Cassidy giggled from the backseat, "And what is that for?"

"You listen to my CDs when I'm not in the car," Cassidy said smiling.

Blaine blushed, "Well it was in there," he said turning on his signal to leave the parking lot.

"Can we listen to A Whole New World?" Cassidy asked bouncing up and down in her seat.

"Sure," Blaine said, "As long as Kurt doesn't mind."

"Oh I don't mind," Kurt said, "Anything Cassidy wants to listen to is fine with me."

Cassidy jumped up and down, "Yay! Come on Blainey!"

"Yeah, Blainey," Kurt said looking over at him.

Blaine gave Kurt a look, "Thanks."

"Anytime," Kurt said fixing his hair, but Blaine knew he didn't need it.

They drove to the diner with Cassidy filling in the silence with her singing, which neither Blaine or Kurt didn't seem to mind at all. "Are we there yet?" Cassidy asked.

"Just about," Blaine said, "It should be around the corner."

"Okay," Cassidy said, "Kurt did you know that one of our neighbors works at the diner."

"Oh do they," Kurt said turning to look at Cassidy, "Who is that?"

"A woman who lives a few apartments down," Cassidy said swinging her legs, "They don't talk to us very much though."

"Well that's not good," Kurt said.

Cassidy shrugged, "It's alright we have other neighbors who are much nicer."

"Cassidy," Blaine said with a warning.

"I'm just telling Kurt the truth," Cassidy said crossing her arms.

"I know," Blaine said, "But remember what I told you about people we don't know."

"You should never judge a book by its cover," Cassidy said.

Blaine smiled, "And…"

"And I shouldn't make guesses about people I don't know," Cassidy finished off.

"Exactly," Blaine said turning into the diner driveway, "Because we wouldn't like people making accusations about us."

"What's accuashu…" Cassidy tried to say.

"Accusations," Blaine repeated, "It means that people get a false sense of who you really are before you meet them."

"Oh, I wouldn't want that," Cassidy said.

"How about we get some food?" Blaine asked turning to face his sister.

"Alright," Cassidy said unbuckling her seat belt.

The group stepped out of the car and walked towards the building, Blaine held open the door for Cassidy and Kurt to step inside. "Hi JJ," Cassidy said waving to the cook in the back.

"Well hello there Cassidy, Blaine, and oh someone special," JJ said wiggling his eyebrows.

"This is Kurt," Cassidy said introducing him, "He is Blaine's friend from school."

"Oh I see," JJ said looking Kurt up and down, "A mighty fine friend indeed."

"JJ," Blaine said giving him a look.

"Oh boy just got the big brother look, I always hate those," JJ said to Cassidy, who laughed and Kurt joined in.

"Roxy!" Cassidy exclaimed jumping into the arms of a woman who walked through one of the doors, "Where have you been all my life?" she teased.

"I swear Blaine, she is getting more wit then my cat in November," Roxy said setting her down, "And who might this be?" she asked gesturing towards Kurt.

"I'm Kurt," he said introducing himself, "I go to school with Blaine."

"Oh well I'll be," Roxy said, "Aren't you sweeter then a strawberry pie in the middle of summer, why don't you lot take a seat and I'll be with you in a moment."

"Okay Roxy," Cassidy said and then she grabbed Kurt's arm, "Here this is our booth," she pulled him down next to her, "You can sit on my side."

Blaine sat on the other side of the booth, "Cassidy you shouldn't pull people around like that."

"I know, but I had to have Kurt sit next to me before you made him sit next to you," Cassidy said and Blaine blushed. Cassidy grabbed the menus and handed one to each of the boys he glanced at one another. Kurt smiled and rolled his eyes, Blaine let out a small laugh in agreement.

"What can I get you kids?" Roxy asked standing next to the table.

"I want lemonade please," Cassidy said.

"Of course darling and what for you two?" Roxy asked them.

"I'll just have water, please," Kurt said with a smile.

Roxy smiled, "Oh you are so adorable."

Kurt gave a small smile and looked down at the menu, "Thanks."

"I will take water too," Blaine said to Roxy a little to quickly.

"Alright," Roxy said, "I'll be right back you kids just figure out what you want to eat," and she left them.

"Sorry, she is sort of out there," Blaine said looking down at the menu.

Kurt laughed, "Its fine, she reminds me a lot of Carole."

"What are you going to try?" Blaine asked him.

Kurt looked at the menu with his tongue poking out of the side of his mouth, "Not sure."

"I'm getting the chicken nuggets and French fries," Cassidy said reminding them both that they weren't alone.

"Oh, I imagine those are good," Kurt said nodding.

Roxy came back and set down there drinks, "What will you be having?" she asked.

"I want the chicken nuggets and French fries please," Cassidy said.

"Alright," Roxy said looking at the boys.

"I'll have the double turkey hamburger, but without tomatoes with the fries and salad," Blaine said with smile as he put his menu back.

Kurt looked at the menu, "I'll just have the same."

"Okay, I'll be back in a little while," Roxy said walking away and leaving the friends alone.

The group made small talk that Cassidy led most of the conversation for. When the food came they talked during the meal with Blaine and Kurt taking more of the conversation.

"But I didn't know," Cassidy said crossing her arms.

"I know you didn't," Blaine said, "That's what makes it funny."

Kurt laughed, "You must have been an adorable three year old."

"Any dessert for you kids today?" Roxy asked.

Cassidy sat in her seat and stared at Blaine. Blaine smiled, "I guess you can have a small dessert."

Cassidy clapped her hands, "Can I have a sundae please with chocolate and sprinkles."

"Of course you can," Roxy said happily, "Anything for you two?"

"I don't think so," Kurt said shaking his head.

"How about we split one of those pieces of chocolate cake," Blaine suggested, "Now you should go get it before he tries to talk you out of it."

Roxy gave Blaine a wink and walked away. "Really?" Kurt asked.

"I know how you are with things like that," Blaine said.

Kurt gave Blaine a look, "Fine, but you have to eat most of it."

"You don't like chocolate cake?" Cassidy asked.

"Oh I love chocolate cake," Kurt said, "But if I want to fit into my jeans tomorrow I can't eat that much of it."

Cassidy made a face, "That doesn't make any sense."

Kurt laughed, "It will when you're older I suppose."

Blaine smiled and Roxy came back with there orders, "Here is your sundae darling and then your cake," she said and handed them clean utensils leaving them alone once more.

Cassidy began eating her sundae right away. Kurt picked up his fork carefully and watched Blaine do the same. "It's amazing," Blaine said taking a small piece off and eating it.

Kurt attentively cut a small piece off with his fork and then placed it in his mouth. Cassidy and Blaine were staring at him, "It's good. I mean really good."

The siblings smiled, "Told you," Blaine said taking another bite.

"Hey," Kurt said pulling the plate towards himself, "Don't eat it all."

Blaine laughed, "What did I create?"

"A cake eating monster," Kurt said taking another bite, "I will share though."

They finished there dessert and Roxy came with the check, Kurt grabbed it out of her hands. "Wait," Blaine said trying to reach for it, "I can't let you do that, we invited you out."

Kurt took out his card and handed it to Roxy, "Don't, I think it's only fair that I pay."

"And how do you purpose that?" Blaine asked folding his arms across his chest.

Kurt snorted a laugh, "Because I can, now Cassidy I hear you have some things on your Christmas list."

Cassidy then went on and on about what she wanted for Christmas and how she still wanted a kitten. Roxy came back with the receipt and Kurt signed it. They left the diner and headed towards Blaine car. Driving back to the school was filled with singing Disney songs and Cassidy talking away about Christmas.

Blaine parked the car, "I suppose this is where we leave you."

"I guess so," Kurt said, "Well I had a lot of fun, thanks for inviting me."

"Thanks for dinner even though you didn't have to and I wish you wouldn't have, but I suppose I can't change it now. Besides it's not like I can control it when I have to and I could have paid for it, because we invited you out…"
"Thank you for dinner Kurt," Cassidy said smiling in the backseat.

"You're welcome," Kurt said turning to look at her and then he reached over touching Blaine's arm, "Please don't make such a big deal out of it, I just wanted too. I had a nice time."

"Yeah, okay," Blaine said with smile, "Thanks."

Kurt smiled, "Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow and I'll see you little munchkin later."

Cassidy giggled at her nickname and Kurt left. Blaine waited until Kurt was in his car and they waved towards one another before they left in different directions towards there own homes.

"Blaine?" came a voice from the back seat.

"Yes Sissy?" Blaine asked.

Cassidy made a face, "Never mind."

Blaine looked in the rearview mirror and saw his sister in deep thought, "Alright," he said not wanting to push anything on her.

They made there way home and after Cassidy got ready for bed Blaine was about to kiss her good night when she asked, "Do you think Uncle Jack will come find us?"

Blaine looked at sister with surprise, he slowly sat down on her bed, "What made you bring that up?"

She looked around her room, "Will you sleep with me tonight Blainey?" she asked in a sad voice.

Blaine slowly nodded, "Just let me put my pajamas on alright." She gave a small nod and Blaine quickly got ready for bed. He pulled out the bed from the couch and set the sheets right. He walked in and found her huddled in a small ball.

Blaine picked her up, "Come on Sissy," he said quietly.

"Can Biddy come too?" she asked with her head buried in his shoulder.

"Of course he can," Blaine said picking up the raggy stuffed animal and then walked into the living room. He placed her on the bed and crawled in on the other side. His sister instantly grabbed onto his arm, "Cassidy what's wrong?"

"Can you tell me again about Mommy and Daddy?" she asked looking up at him.

Blaine sighed, "Of course I can," he said moving a little and Cassidy snuggled into his side. "Let's see, where should I start?"

"Tell me what they looked like," Cassidy said quietly.

Blaine gave a small nod, "Well Mommy was one of the most beautiful people, whenever I look at you I remember her because you look so much like her."

"I do?" Cassidy asked.

Blaine let out a small laugh because she asked him this every time he talked about there mom, "Of course you do. And somehow you got Daddy's nose," he said giving her nose a tap. "We both got Mommy's curly hair, but its dark just like Daddy's was. Of course we both know that it looks better on you."

Cassidy giggled, "Yes it does."

"And Daddy always used to wear ties, he had ties for everything," Blaine explained, "He even had one with his name on it. Mommy got it for him for Christmas one year. He wore it proudly to a dinner they had once." Blaine felt like he could go on and on about his parents, so he did. Eventually he looked down and Cassidy had fallen asleep. He reached over and shut off the lamp that was still on. He pulled the covers over them and fell asleep.


~~~~~~~

The weeks following Cassidy didn't ask about Uncle Jack, but Blaine still wondered what made her think of him. "What is making you think so hard Anderson?" Puck asked sitting down across from him.

Blaine looked up, "Oh I was just thinking about something." He remembered how busy his friends were getting ready for Regionals since they had won Sectionals just a couple a weeks ago. He was proud of them and wished he could have gone with them, but he was working that night. He sighed to himself as he took a bite of his sandwich.

Kurt gave Blaine a side glance, "Are you sure it's nothing?"

"Positive," Blaine said with a smile.

"So when do we get to hear you at this club you always sing at Hobbit?" Santana asked.

"Santana," Kurt hissed at her.

Blaine smiled, "No it's alright," he said holding hand up, "I actually play there this weekend if you want to come see me."

"Really?" Kurt asked. He always wanted to see Blaine play, but wanted to wait for him to invite them because he didn't want to pressure him.

"Yeah sure why not," Blaine said, "I would like to see some familiar faces in the audience."

Finn made a face, "What kind of place it is?"

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked taking a drink from his water bottle.

"Well like, what kind of club type thing is it?"

"I don't follow."

"He's asking if it's a gay bar," Puck shot out.

Finn instantly went red in the face, "Not…not that we mind…it's just…"

"Don't worry about it," Blaine said with a laugh, "It's not, and it's actually a pretty boring place. It's called Exquisite. Not really that exquisite though, I mean they have some good food, but other than that it's basically the entertainment that has people still going there."

"Do you play a full set?" Mercedes asked.

Blaine shrugged, "I play about two hours with a break in the middle. I just sort of sing some songs, sometimes I have to play a particular genre or something, but that depends on what the owner wants that night."

"Can you bring people to sing with you?" Tina asked.

"I never really thought about it," Blaine said thinking, "I mean I've seen duets and groups, so I assume I could if I really wanted too."

"When do you go on this weekend?" Kurt asked taking a bite of salad.

Blaine took out his phone to check his schedule, "Right, it's from six to eight, I got the early shift, thank goodness."

"That's the early shift?" Mike asked.

Blaine nodded, "You'd be surprised the type of people that show up to the midnight to two shift."

"You've had that shift before?" Brittany asked, "Isn't that when you're supposed to be in bed?"

Blaine smiled, "I'm sort of a night owl, so the late night shifts don't really bother me. I just hate leaving Cassidy with a sitter that long."

"Oh what if you bring Cassidy this weekend, I'm sure Carole and my dad wouldn't mind watching her," Kurt suggested.

Blaine shrugged, "I don't know…"

"Are you kidding me, Carole has been bugging Kurt to get you two to come over again," Finn said, "It would be doing us all a favor."

Blaine let out a laugh, "Sure then, I think Katherine would probably enjoy the night off."

"Great," Kurt said clapping his hands.


~~~~~~~

Blaine and Cassidy showed up to the Hummel-Hudson household early and Cassidy excitedly rang the doorbell. The door opened and it was Finn, "Hey guys," he said stepping to the side to let them in.

"Hi," Blaine said.

Cassidy started jumping up and down, "Hi Finn, guess what! Guess what!" she exclaimed.

"What is it?" Finn asked as they walked into the living room.

"In school we were talking about people and we started talking about how tall people are. I talked about you and how you're a giant but your girlfriend is Rachel and she is short," Cassidy said going on with her story.

Blaine tried to hide his laughter as Carole walked in the room and he nodded towards her. "And then we talked about how all people are different," Cassidy said.

"Oh," Finn said not really sure what to say next, "That's interesting. I'll let Kurt know you two are here."

"Alright," Blaine said picking up his sister, "I need to talk to you." He sat down on the couch and placed Cassidy in his lap, "Now you know the rules when you are over at someone's house."

"Yes," Cassidy said with a nod.

"But I want you to behave for Carole and Burt. Make sure you do exactly as they say even if it's different from the rules at our house right?" Blaine asked her.

Cassidy nodded her head, "I know Blainey. I will be a good girl I promise."

Blaine leaned his forehead on hers, "Thank you."

Cassidy giggled and kissed her brother's nose, "You're so silly."

"I know, I'm supposed to remember I'm your older brother," Blaine said tickling her.

"You two are adorable together," Carole said with a smile.

Cassidy wiggled out of Blaine's lap, "Carole, guess what I did at school this week?"

"Oh what's that," Carole said giving her attention.

Blaine had started listening to their conversation, but then he saw someone out of the corner of his eye and looked over to see Kurt Hummel standing in the hallway fiddling around with the buttons on his sweater. Blaine swallowed and looked at the tight pants Kurt had on; he couldn't imagine owning a pair like that. And then the sweater he had on was perfect. It seemed to just cling to his body perfectly and matching his eyes making them seem bluer then they already were. He blinked his eyes and felt bad for staring, but Kurt had finally looked up and gave him a smile. He smiled back.

"Should we get going?" Finn asked out loud.

Blaine shook his head, "Yeah, sure that sounds good. We can just pile in my car to get there."

"Okay," Kurt said grabbing his jacket.

Blaine walked over to Cassidy and he got down on one of his knees, "Behave Sissy and I love you," he said.

"I will Blainey and I love you too," Cassidy said rolling her eyes and giving her brother a hug. Blaine went to stand up, "Wait," Cassidy said pulling him down to kiss him on his cheek, "I'll miss you."

Blaine smiled and did the same, "I will definitely miss you too," he stood up and let go of his sister's hand.

The three boys walked out of the house, "Is she always that emotionally when you leave her somewhere?" Finn asked.

Blaine shook his head as the unlocked the doors on his car, "No, but your house is different then Katherine's so I imagine she might be a bit nervous."

Kurt squeezed Blaine's arm slightly, "She will be fine, Carole and my dad will take good care of her. Now let's go see what you've got."

Blaine laughed, "Sure, I guess I can't really be late for my job."

Finn sat in the passenger seat because of his height while Kurt sat behind Blaine because Cassidy's booster seat was behind Finn. Blaine started his car and Kurt was surprised to hear the songs from Wicked coming out of the speakers. Blaine quickly took the CD out and turned on the radio, "I hope the rest of them find the place okay," he said as he started driving down the road.

"I'm sure it will be fine," Finn said, "Are you nervous?"

Blaine shrugged, "Not really, but I guess just a little because you guys will be there." He then felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it," Kurt said from the back seat, "I'm sure you will be great, you've been doing this for weeks now."

"Yeah," Blaine said with a nod, "Thanks."
