A/N Today's word is Yearn, and the theme is Children. It's time for the premier! I still haven't figured out who plays Sarah, so imagine who ever you want.

Merry Christmas to All!

…

The Premier

There was a hushed excitement among the friends and family as the movie began to play, punctuated by a cheer as the beginning credits flashed across the screen, and Kurt and Blaine's names popped up. Rachel let out an unladylike growl when she realized they didn't show her face during her brief scene, only her hands. By the end of the opening montage of young Edward's life in foster care, most of the women (and a few of the men) were wiping tears from their eyes.

"That was so sad!" Brittany said during the first commercial break. "Poor Edward! Why did they make him give away his puppy when he went to live with that other family?"

From one of the computer screens, Emma Pillsbury chimed in. "The poor boy just wants a real family again! All those children just need a family to love them and care for them!" Will put an arm around her shoulders, hugging her.

"That scene with adult Edward and his friend Tony was interesting, especially when Sarah joined them, and sparks flew between her and the best friend," Santana added, wincing as she adjusted her foot. "When does he meet Ian?"

"Should be just after the next commercial break," Kurt answered, taking a sip of his soda. "There's a scene with Ian and his mom talking about the auction first, and another scene with Edward and Sarah."

"It's back on!" Mercedes called out. "Sam, can you turn the volume up just a little? I can barely hear it."

The group laughed when Ian's mother asked if it was some kind of gigolo auction, but the chef assured her that there would be no sex involved, that he was auctioning off his cooking skills, not his body.

"Marie seems like an interesting woman," Carole observed during the second commercial break. "On the one hand, you can tell she really cares about her son, but on the other hand, she's such a...a…"

"Mom?" Burt supplied when his wife couldn't find the word she was looking for.

"Well, yes," Carole replied, "but more complicated than that. I think the fact that she couldn't have any more children after Ian, when both she and Max come from such large families, is what drives her to want grandchildren. I think she felt cheated of having half a dozen children to nurture and feed."

"You could be right, Carole," Kurt said, looking at her on the laptop screen. "I never really thought about what her motivation was."

His stepmother nodded. "Think about what she's always saying about food, wanting to spread joy and love through food. I think she's always had a yearning for a much larger family, like she grew up in, and like her siblings had."

"Oh! Is this the auction scene?" Wes asked from the other computer screen, drawing their attention back to the TV.

After the auction, when Edward meets Ian for the first time, it's obvious that the pale man is attracted to Edward, but Ian is still in the closet at this point, and Edward still hasn't realized he's gay. Ian seems disappointed to learn that the handsome man wants him to teach him how to cook for his fiance's family, but he tries to hide it.

The group of friends teased Blaine a little during the next break, after the scene where Edward burned the first attempt at making the simplest dish, glazed carrots. The next several scenes were Ian and Edward in the kitchen, or out buying ingredients and getting to know each other. There was another scene with Edward and Sarah, and then the snowball fight.

Before they knew it, Edward was bursting through the door of Ian's restaurant, after having just broke up with his fiance, who told him it was okay, that she had fallen in love with his best friend, and the rest of her family encouraged him to track down the man he loved and not let him slip away. Edward and Ian share a sweet kiss, and the scene cuts to their wedding, which takes place the following Christmas Eve. Ian's mother is so happy to welcome Edward to the family, and begins to cry when they tell her they plan to adopt several children over the next few years.

As the end credits begin to roll, their friends all clapped and cheered, and drank a toast to the two stars.

"That was awesome!" Several people said.

"You both did such a great job!" Carole called out.

"I knew you'd make me proud, kiddo!" Burt added. "And Blaine, I'm sure your dad is proud of you, too!"

"Thanks everyone!" Blaine and Kurt said. "We're so lucky we have such wonderful friends and family to share this with!"

"Okay, as great as this has been, I think I need to go to the ER now," Santana said, wincing again as she tried to sit up straighter.

"Oh! Of course!" Blaine said. "Come on, we'll take you, and make sure you talk to the police, too!"
