Just a clarification: To Lily, Kurt is Dad and Blaine is Daddy

A few weeks after going to Logan's house, Erin and Logan had become inseparable. They walked to class together and also ate lunch together. They were essentially dating, but were sure not show too much, if any, PDA at school. Erin was still really worried about Lily finding out and being really mad at her.

The real reason that they sat together at lunch was so Logan could make sure that Erin ate. And, she did eat at lunch, but what she did eat, she purged later. Erin felt guilty lying to Logan, but this wasn't something that just having a boyfriend could change. She still felt fat and ugly and now more than ever she wanted to look beautiful.

"So, are you ready for thanksgiving break?" Logan asked Erin as they sat together at a lunch table.

"Thanksgiving break, yes. Thanksgiving, not so much." Erin told him.

"Yeah, I can understand how a holiday centered around food would be hard for you." Logan admitted. "But, promise me you'll try to at least eat a little bit." Erin sighed as she looked into Logan's eyes. He was so hopeful and proud of her. She didn't want to let him down.

"I promise." Erin replied as she ate a piece of popcorn chicken from off of her tray.

"Good, I think we should seal our promise with something."Logan said as he looked around to make sure no one was looking.

"No, Logan." Erin said. "No kissing, at least not at school."

"Relax. No one's even looking." Logan said as he leaned closer and closer. Then just as he was about to kiss her, he snatched up a piece of popcorn chicken and popped it into his mouth.

"Hey!" Erin shrieked as she slapped his arm. "I thought we agreed I'm the one who needs to eat."

"That rule totally doesn't apply to popcorn chicken." Logan laughed. "There are no rules when it comes to popcorn chicken."

"You're such a dork." Erin muttered.

'But you love me anyway." Logan joked.

"I guess so." She replied. "But, if you don't quit stealing my food that may change." she told him a smirk across her face. At the end of day, Logan and Erin walked out of school together.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in a few days." Logan said.

"Yeah, have fun with your family on thanksgiving." Erin replied.

'I"ll try." He laughed. "You remember our promise. okay?"

"I will." Erin replied.

"Okay, bye, love you." Logan replied before he could stop himself. His cheeks blushed bright red. Erin felt like her heart had stopped when she heard him say what he did. She smiled back.

"Love you too." She replied. "I'll see you later." she added before walking into the parking lot to find Lily's car. When she got there, Lily was already waiting for her.

"There you are! You took forever." Lily groaned as she got into the driver's seat.

"Sorry, my locker was jammed." Erin lied.

"Whatever, it's okay." Lily said. "It's probably better that we're late. Thanksgiving is at our house this year and I know that my Dad is probably freaking out and frantically cleaning."

"Do you not normally have thanksgiving at your house?" Erin asked.

"We alternate between everyone in the family." Lily explained. "This year it's at our house, but last year we had it at my Dad's parents' house. Then there's also my Daddy's parents', my Aunt Charlie, my Aunt Annie and Uncle Zack, and My Uncle Lucas. There's also my Aunt Sami, but she's still in college so she doesn't have to host any holidays. Although, it'd be pretty interesting to host thanksgiving from a dorm room." LIly laughed.

"Wow, you have a really big family." Erin replied.

"Yeah, my Daddy was a foster child too, you know." Lily told. "My Grandpa Tom and Grandma Kim adopted him and all the rest of my aunts and uncle. There's five total."

"Wow, adopting five kids is crazy." Erin said. "Most people won't adopt...one." she added looking down at her feet. It was pretty much silent after that awkward moment in the car. Luckily they weren't very far from home. When they did get home, Lily and Erin found Kurt, like Lily had thought frantically trying to clean the house. Lily and Erin snuck upstair in the hope of avoiding being sucked in. The rest of the night was pretty quiet. The kids kept to themselves, while Kurt continued to clean and Blaine tried to reassure him that the house looked fine.

The next morning was Thanksgiving and everyone was up early. Erin pulled on a pair of jeans and one of her t-shirts and began to brush her hair.

"No definitely not happening," Lily said to Erin. "You are not wearing the same t-shirt that you always wear on Thanksgiving."

"Well, it's all I really have." Erin said quietly.

"You can borrow something from me." Lily said as she ran to her closet. She looked through all her clothes on hangers and finally pulled out a pretty light blue blouse. "It's perfect! Here put this on." she said handing it to Lily. Erin looked at the shirt. It was pretty, but it was also really tight fitted. Erin didn't want to emphasize her body at all, especially not with all the people coming today.

"Do you have anything looser?" Erin asked.

"Erin, you have a great body." Lily told her. "You should flaunt it. Just try it on." Erin sighed and took off her t-shirt, making sure to turn away from Lily when she did, and then slipped on the top. She looked in the mirror. She didn't look awful, but she didn't look good.

"Ohh you look so pretty!" Lily exclaimed. "Your hair would look amazing in a French braid. Can I do it?" Lily asked.

"I guess." Erin replied. She had never been one to really focus on her hair and make-up. When you lived in as many foster homes as she did, many with only one bathroom, you learned to use it wisely and that time didn't include makeup or doing more than brushing your hair. Erin took a seat in front of Lily on her bed, so that Lily could get to work on her braid.

"This makes me feel like we're in Wicked." Lily laughed.

"What's Wicked?" Erin asked. She really had no clue what Lily was talking about.

"God! How do you not know about Wicked?" Lily exclaimed. "It's only the best Broadway play in the history of like all Broadway plays."

"I've never seen a Broadway play." Erin admitted quietly.

"Geez, I need to notify my dads about this right away." Lily said. "This family practically runs on Broadway. My Aunt Rachel was a Broadway actress. You'll meet her today. Oh, and her daughter Katie. She's four." Erin nodded. Great, another person to meet. "There! I'm finished." Lily announced as she wrapped a hair tie around the end of Erin's hair.

"Wow, it looks really pretty, Lily." Erin said. Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Someone here!" Lily screeched as she ran down the stairs. Lily ran towards the door and when she opened it, Burt and Carole stood outside. "Grandma Carole! Grandpa Burt!" Lily said happily as she gave them a hug.

"There's my Lily-pad." Burt said as he embraced his granddaughter in a hug and lifted her off the ground. Erin watched as Lily greeted her grandparents. She missed that feeling. Her grandparents had been dead for years. After Burt set Lily down, she motioned for Erin to come over.

"Grandpa Burt, Grandma Carole, this is Erin." Lily said. Carole smiled at her and then walked and gave her a hug.

"Its nice to meet you honey." Carole said.

"It's nice to meet you too, ma'am." Erin replied.

"You can call me Carole." Carole told her. Erin smiled and then she was engulfed in a tight hug from Burt.

"Easy Grandpa." Lily said. "Don't break her." Burt laughed and then sat Erin back on the ground. She was saved by Kurt, Blaine and Seth who came in to say hello. Over the next hour, people started showing up. Next was Blaine's parents, Tom and Kim, who were very friendly and nice her. Then, Blaine's siblings started showing up. There was a lot of them and Erin was having a hard time keeping track of them all. She gathered that Blaine was the oldest. Charlotte or "Charlie" as she liked to be called was second. Lily had told her earlier that she was a social worker, who worked with foster kids. She seemed nice when Erin met her. Next, was Annie, her husband Zachary, and their one year old daughter, Karley. After that was Lucas and then the youngest of the family, Sami. Blaine's biological brother Cooper also showed up. Last to arrive was Rachel and her daughter, Katie.

"Well, I think we're all here." Blaine announced once Rachel and Katie were inside. "Dinner with be ready soon." Erin stood off by herself while everyone else mingled. She felt really uncomfortable being here. Finally, Seth came over to her.

"You know they're really nice." Seth said. "I promise they won't bite or treat you differently. They all get what it's like to be a foster child."

"I know, it's just, I really don't know them." Erin said. "They aren't really my family."

"They could be, if you let them you know" Seth said. "I remember my first thanksgiving with them. I was really nervous, but they accepted me right away and made me feel welcome. Why don't you start with Uncle Zack and Aunt Annie?That way, you can play with baby Karley. I know she won't judge you...if that's what you're worried about." Erin sighed. She knew Seth was right. She walked over to Annie and her husband.

"Can I hold her?" Erin asked.

"Oh sure sweetie." Annie replied as she handed Karley over to her. "Have fun!" she laughed before walking off to help Kurt in the kitchen. Erin almost didn't know what to do. She hadn't expected Annie to just leave Karley with her. She looked down at the little girl in her arms and Karley smiled back up at her her and tried to grab the sparkly earrings that Lily had lent her.

Erin spent the next half an hour playing with Karley then Kurt announced that it was dinner time. Annie walked over to her.

"I'll take her back now if you want, so you can eat." Annie said. "I have to feed her anyway." Erin thought for a moment. She really didn't want to eat.

"I'll feed her." Erin offered. "You go and eat and I'll feed her."

"Really?" Annie asked.

"Yeah, I'll just eat later. I'm not that hungry anyway." Erin lied.

"Okay, I guess."Annie replied with a smile. She walked over to diaper bag and pulled out a bottle, a jar of applesauce and a bib. "I just have to grab her seat." Annie told her. Within a few minutes, Annie came back with a blue plastic seat with a yellow tray. She strapped it to one of the kitchen chairs. Then, Erin placed Karley into the seat. "You're sure your okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Erin replied. "Go and eat." she told her. Annie smiled before walking off. Erin sat down in a chair in front of Karley's seat and strapped the bib around the little girl's neck and began to feed her the applesauce. About halfway through the meal, Kurt came over to her.

"Hey honey, do you want me to take over so you can eat something?" Kurt asked.

"Umm...I'm good." Erin replied.

"Honey, you have to eat something." Kurt told her. "You didn't even have breakfast." Erin felt that Kurt was getting suspicious, so she nodded her head and let Kurt finish feeding Karley. Erin went up to the table and placed some salad into a bowl. She just couldn't bare to eat any of the other stuff. It just looked too fattening. After forcing herself to eat the salad in the bowl, Erin felt awful. She could see the bulge in her stomach and she felt fat. She felt like she needed to purge. She snuck upstairs and locked herself in the bathroom and bent over the toilet and threw up the salad that she had just eaten. Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Is whoever's in here okay?" the voice said. Erin recognized it to be Blaine. She got up and washed her hands before opened the door. "Erin, honey were you throwing up?" He asked.

"Yeah, something didn't agree with my stomach." Erin lied. Blaine placed his hand over her forehead.

"Well, you don't have a fever, so hopefully it's not a stomach virus." Blaine said. "But, just to be safe, why don't you go and lay down for a while." he suggested.

"Okay." Erin replied as she turned away from him and walked down to her room. She could barely breathe when she finally made it there. That had been too close...way too close.

A/N: whewww, close one!
