AN: For the song Italics is girls and boys, Bold is boys, and (Italics) is girls.


Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or the song.


"Natalie your wearing a hole in the floor, please stopping walking in circles." Noah exclaimed watching Natalie walking in circles.

Natalie stopped for a second to speak. "I need Jess to be here." She then started walking in circles again.

Noah sighed and motined for Rachel. "You talked to Marley, right? She's bringing Jessie?"

"Yes, her and her mom are bringing Jessie." Rachel answered nodding. She then heard a crashing noise. "Melody stop twirling and apologize to Mr. Black for running into him."

Noah shook his head. He was very thankful his daughter wasn't as wild and hyper as his nieces. His thoughts were interupted by a squeal. "You made it, Jess."

Marley smiled at the two five year olds hugging. "Mrs. Lawarnce was being difficult, that's why we're a tad late."

"Where's your mom?" Rachel asked back from making sure her daughter didn't run into anyone else.

"She's already in the audince." Marley answered.

Kurt walked over to them with a camera. "May I get a picture, madams?"

Jessie smiled and pulled Natalie into a side hug. Kurt snapped a picture and thanked them. He then went to get a picture of Greg, Bella, and Chris. Miss Jordon apperared in the middle of the room. "Would my class please come here."

All the kids ran to stand in front of their teacher. "It's almost our turn to sing. Don't worry if you mess up, just have fun."

They all nodded and got ready to go on stage while their parents went out to sit in the audience. The director of the program anouced their entrance. "Next we have Miss Jordon's Kindergarten class singing Little Drummer Boy."

The class lined up into two lines. Boys in one, girls in the other. All the girls were wearing red and green plaid dresses. The boys were wearing white shirts, black slacks, and bow ties that matched the girl's dresses.

Miss Jordon gave all the kids a small bag of candy after the Christmas program. "You all did amazing."

The kids started snacking on their candy and socializing along with their parents. "Lily can you watch Nat for a moment?" Noah asked waiting for a reply.

"Sure" Miss Jordon told him keeping an eye on Natalie and Jessie.

Everything seemed fine until a red head approached the two girls. "Hi sweetie."

Natalie looked at her a little frightened turning back to talk to Jessie. Miss Jordon was walking over when she saw the red head look around. "So irresponsible of your father not to keep an eye on you."

"He had to run to the restroom and asked me to watch Nat for him, so he's not irresponsible. Who's watching your child?" Miss Jordon said wondering who the women was.

"Apparently you." The red head answered her rudely.

Realization struck Miss Jordon like a ton of bricks. "You must be Noah's ex wife?"

Karen nodded looking at Natalie. "You did good out there Nata bear."

Natalie looked up at her mother. "Don't call me Nata bear."

"Why sweetie you love it when I call you Nata bear?" Karen asked bending down to Natalie's level.

Miss Jordon put her hand on Natalie's back and her other hand on Jessie's shoulder to keep her from lunging at the older women making her friend uncomfortable.

"I was two then. That what you called me when you hurt daddy." Natalie stated stepping closer to Miss Jordon.

"Karen what are you doing here?" Noah asked walking up to them.

Karen gave him a flirty smile. "Seeing you and our kid."

"She's not your kid, she's my daughter. Lily has done more in the last two months for Natalie then you did in two years." Noah told her defensively.

Miss Jordon smiled remembering earlier that afternoon.


Flashback

Miss Jordon noticed all the girls had their hair in braids except Natalie. "Hey Natalie are you excited to sing?"

Natalie shook her head no. "No, but Jess singing so I sing too."

Miss Jordon was glad that both girls had found a friend that allowed them to open up around people even though both girls were still shy. "I like your clip." Miss Jordon said pointing to the candycane clip.

"Daddy don't know how to braid hair. He tried once, Aunt Sanny told him not to try anymore." Natalie said.

Miss Jordon grabbed a brush out of her bag. "Would you like me to braid your hair?"

Natalie smiled. "Yes! please."

When she was done Natalie hugged her with a smile. "Thank you."

"Your welcome sweetie."


"Who is she? You're girlfriend." Karen asked Noah.

Noah looked at Natalie who smiled. "Yes, Karen she's my girlfriend." Noah said wrapping an arm around Miss Jordon.

Miss Jordon was a little shocked since they'd never really talked about what they were, but she couldn't be happier.

Karen then turned to Miss Jordon mad. "You can't and you won't take my daughter away from me!" She shouted.

This grabbed the attention of the few parents and kids left.

Miss Jordon remained speaking in a calm voice. "I'm not trying to take her away from you, but in my opinion you lost the right to get mad at me the day you walked out of her life."

Santana decided to intervene. "Hi Karen. Remember what happened the last time I saw you?"

Karen gulped frightened. "No need to repeat what happened I was just leaving." She spoke before turning on her heels and leaving.

Miss Jordon looked at Santana. "What did you do?"

"That's a story for another time."


"Did you mean what you told Karen? Are we dating?" Lily asked Noah sitting next to him on his couch.

"Absolutely, but only if you want us to be dating." Noah told her.

Lily scooted closer to Noah before speaking. "I love the idea of us as a couple, but what about Natalie? You need to think about your daughter."

"That's one thing I love about you, you care for my daughter as much as she looks up to you." Noah said.

"When are we going to tell your family? Mrs. Lopez already thought we were together at Thanksgiving." Lily asked him.

"Christmas and trust me on this, call everyone by their first name. If you don't some people might get confused. For example there's two Mr. Evans and two Mrs. Evans plus Sam's brother so that's three Mr. Evans and his sister, but she's not married. It's just easier to learn first names." Noah explained.

Lily looked a little nervous. "Anything else I should know about your family?"

"Well nothing to important you won't learn except that if Russel shows up it will be your's, Stacy's, Paige's, and Beth's job to take the kids to another room." Noah told her remembering Russel showing up one year drunk.

"Okay, but who is Russel, Stacy, and Paige?" Lily asked.

"Russel is Quinn's father, he drinks a lot during the holidays and decides to cause a scene. Stacy is Sam's younger sister and Paige is Brittany's younger sister." Noah said.

Lily yawned and nodded. "Kay"


AN: Well I decided that we needed to meet Noah's ex at some point.
