December 1: AUDIENCE
As school was wrapping up for the holidays, children were preparing for Christmas recitals, especially Kurt and Blaine's little girl. She had a solo in this year's school concert at Brooklyn Elementary. The night of the concert, Kurt and Blaine walked her to the choir room where the rest of the kids were meeting.
"Daddy and I are gonna go take our seats in the audience now, we can't wait to hear you sing!" Kurt encouraged her. She looked him with big, worried eyes.
"I'm scared, Papa." Her lower lip quivered. "What if everyone laughs at me?"
"Don't think about that, honey," Blaine soothed her as he crouched down to her eye level. "Nobody will laugh because when you sing, the entire audience will be blown away."
"I don't want them to be blown away! I want them to stay in their seats!" She gasped.
"What Daddy's trying to say," Kurt chuckled, "is that they will love your song so much, and we will too."
He kissed her forehead and Blaine squeezed her hand, giving her a wink. Her smile grew from wary to excited in a matter of seconds and finally she gave them both a hug and ran into the choir room. The two men shook their heads at each other and went to take their seats.
The entire audience erupted in applause and screeching chairs as everyone stood up to clap. Smiles were on every face, but the biggest we're on Kurt and Blaine's tear-streaked ones, and on the little girl's on stage, twirling in her dress and beaming.
