I know some of you like to pretend that one episode (Previously Unaired Christmas) doesn't exist, but, I couldn't help myself. This is based on yet another Days of Our Lives storyline. This also takes place four months after the very last scene of the series. Tracy Anderson-Hummel is six months old.

I think by now you know I do not own Glee.

It was early December, and the Anderson-Hummel house was already decked out in Christmas decorations, and their tree was decorated. Kurt finished most of his Christmas shopping on Black Friday, but, he still had a few things he needed to buy.

This day, he and Blaine were taking their six month old daughter Tracy to see Santa for the very first time. They dressed her up in a Santa sweater and little Santa hat. Blaine thought it would be cute to dress her as a reindeer, but Kurt flat out refused (Slightly angrily, to Blaine's bewilderment). They headed to the Midtown Mall to meet the St. Jameses and the Lopez-Pierces. They all met inside JC Penny's. Only Rachel, Jesse, and Santana were there.

"Hey!" Kurt greeted Santana with a smile. "Where are the wife and kids?"

"The kids are sick, so the wife is at home taking care of them." Santana answered. She and Brittany have two kids via sperm donors, Gabriella and Felipe. "I'm probably only gonna stay for like an hour, maybe a little bit longer."

"Oh. Well, I hope they feel better." Blaine spoke up.

"Thanks."

"Okay, so, shall we head to Santa Land first?" Rachel suggested.

"We shall." Kurt said. He started pushing Tracy's stroller.

"Aww, she looks so cute in that sweater!" Rachel gushed.

"Thanks, Rachel." Blaine replied. "I wanted to dress her in a reindeer outfit, but Kurt wouldn't have it."

"Why not?" Santana wanted to know, though she probably already knows the answer.

Kurt scoffed. "I just think it would be tacky and overdone, you know? All right, let's get this over with."

"Why, Kurt. It's almost as though you don't want to get Tracy's picture taken with Santa." Santana raised an eyebrow. Kurt ignored that. They were getting closer to Santa Land. Santana sighed. "Remember when we got jobs as elves?"

"Santana!" Kurt hissed angrily.

"What?" Santana shrugged.

"I really don't think he wants those memories brought up again, Santana." Rachel said, rolling her eyes.

"You guys were elves?" Jesse raised an eyebrow in amusement.

"Yeah, that wasn't the best week for any of us." Rachel shuddered.

"Really? Why?" Blaine asked.

"You know, it really doesn't matter anymore." Kurt snapped. "The past is in the past. So, just let it go."

Blaine was getting a little concerned, but decided to brush it off. They were getting closer. Blaine picked his daughter up from her stroller and held her up. "Look, Tracy. There's Santa!"

Santana looked closely at Santa. "You know, he looks vaguely familiar."

"Really?" Rachel got a good look as well. "Hmm. Yeah, there is. Have we met him before?"

"Or maybe we saw him at school, or the diner?" Santana offered.

Kurt looked as well. There was something familiar…and it made him a little uncomfortable for some reason. "He looks familiar to me, too."

"Oh. You know the guy?" Blaine asked. He looked, and there was nothing familiar at all.

"Um…I don't know. Maybe?" Kurt shrugged. "But, he could just have one of those faces."

Blaine nodded. "Okay."

"All right, you're next." An elf approached the group.

"Thanks." Blaine said. He carried Tracy to Santa. "Hi! This is Tracy. Tracy, this is Santa."

Tracy babbled as her dad put her on Santa's lap. Santa spoke with a fake gruff voice. "Quite the charmer you got here."

"Thanks!" Kurt replied. He turned to his friends. "All right, Blaine, you and me on one side; Santana, Rachel, you guys stand on the other. Jesse, would you mind?" He handed his phone to Jesse, who nodded and set the camera up.

"All right, smile, everyone! One…two…three!"

Santa raised a hand and said in his normal voice. "Merry Christmas, everybody. Ho…ho…ho."

Santana and Rachel's mouths dropped open in shock, and Kurt stiffened in horror. They recognized the voice…it was none other than Cody Tolentino. Rough Trade Sexy Santa.

Jesse looked at the photo and frowned. "Okay, let's do one where you guys actually smile. It's your daughter's first Christmas! Come on!"

Kurt, Santana, and Rachel all glanced at each other, swallowed, then turned to the camera and actually managed smiles.

"Okay, I think that about covers it." Kurt exclaimed. He snatched his daughter from Cody's lap and rushed to put her in her stroller.

"Honey, it's not like we're in a hurry." Blaine said, chuckling.

"I know, but I don't want to keep these lovely people waiting." Kurt lied. "So, come on. Let's go."

Jesse and Blaine gave each other bewildered looks and followed the women and Kurt to Starbucks. Rachel turned to her husband. "Babe, why don't you get our coffees. You know what I like."

"O…kay. Would anyone else like something?" Jesse asked.

"Chai latte for me." Santana raised her hand.

"Not thirsty." Kurt shook his head.

"Medium drip for me." Blaine replied. Tracy started fussing, and Blaine checked her diaper. "I'm going to change her diaper. Excuse me."

Once Blaine and Jesse were out of earshot, Rachel, Santana, and Kurt sat at a table for four and brought an extra chair over. "Was that…?"

"Yep." Santana nodded. "I knew he looked familiar!"

"What is he even doing here?! Why would he come back to one of his targets? Is he crazy?" Kurt asked in a panicked whisper.

"Well, it has been eight years. Maybe he didn't think anyone would recognize him." Santana shrugged.

"Okay, but why the hell would he reveal who he is to us?" Rachel asked.

Kurt had hoped that horrible night would never be brought up again. He had spent years without therapy for it trying to move past it. He finally has, and now… "Guys…we can't let that monster hurt anyone else."

"I agree." Rachel nodded. "We should tell security."

Kurt swallowed. "I'll go. It's my fault, anyway. I invited him to our loft."

"I'm sure he would have just eventually done it to someone else." Santana supplied.

"What do you want us to tell Blaine?" Rachel asked. She glanced towards Jesse, who was just paying for the coffees.

"That I'm in JC Penney." Kurt stood up. "The security office is on the way, anyway, so it's perfect."

"Okay." Santana nodded. She and Rachel watched Kurt leave.

"Hey, where'd Kurt go?" Jesse asked, sitting down with their coffees.

"JC Penney." Santana answered. Blaine and Tracy came back to the table. "Oh, hey, Frodo. Kurt headed to JC Penney."

"Oh." Blaine looked out into the mall. "Um…okay. I guess I'll catch up. Don't know why he didn't text me, though."

Kurt sighed as he approached the main security office. 'Well, here goes everything. Hopefully, they'll believe me.' He knocked on the door.

"Come in." He heard a voice call out faintly.

Kurt opened the door and walked in. "Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but…." Kurt noticed the high-backed swivel chair was facing the window…and no one was sitting in it. He jumped and turned around when he heard someone locking the door. Kurt gasped in horror and froze on the spot.

"Hello, Kurt. It's been a while." Cody greeted. A roll of duct tape was in his hand.

Why Cody came back to New York and why he "revealed himself" to Kurtcheltana will be explained next chapter.
