Chapter Three: Special Visitors

Holly couldn't wait to tell her dads about the incredible first day she'd had. It couldn't have gone better. As she jumped into the family's baby blue Fiat 500, she could hardly contain her excitement. Kurt noticed this straight away and beamed at the sight of his baby looking so happy. "I'm guessing you had a good day, honey?" he chuckled.

"It was amazing, Dad! And I have the BEST news! I'm in Glee Club!" Both Blaine and Kurt erupted into cheers of congratulations. Then Kurt started babbling. "I have to know every detail! What song did you sing? What are the Glee kids like? Did Sam like it? How many of them are there? Have you met any cute guys? Or girls! We don't mind!" Blaine laughed and rolled his eyes at his over-enthusiastic husband. Holly joined in on the laughter. "Sweetie, calm down! I'm sure Holly will give us all the details when we get home!" Kurt nodded. He knew he could get a little side-tracked sometimes.

The sun glistened on the windows of the family's white, wooden town house. Boxes were still piled high in each room from the recent move. The house was three-storeys, with a basement and a large back garden with a pool. The basement would be converted into a sort of party room. It would be fully equipped with lights, speakers and even a small stage for karaoke, which Blaine and Rachel would definitely make use of whenever she visited.

Holly's biological mother, Rachel Berry-St James, was living her dream in New York with her husband Jesse. She was an award-winning performer in many musicals, and Holly aspired to be just like her. Rachel and Jesse didn't have any of their own children because they were both so busy with work, but Jesse treated Holly like his own. In theory, Holly had three dads and one mum! Since the move, the Anderson-Hummel's hadn't seen much of Jesse and Rachel, due to the distance. Holly couldn't wait for the day her mum would visit their new home.

After telling her dads about her day, Holly decided to Skype Rachel. She knew Rachel was anxiously waiting to hear what had happened. Setting her laptop on her bed, Holly made the call. The dialling tone rang and rang, with no response. Disappointed, Holly tried again. It was on the third try that she heard the doorbell ring and Kurt squealing loudly. Holly was confused, but it was just like Kurt to over-react to something. He'd probably just got a new pair of shoes in the mail. Despite this, Holly still went to investigate.

As she got closer to the living room, Holly could hear familiar voices. Realisation washed over her and she ran into the room. "Mum!" She flung her arms around Rachel's neck, tears in her eyes. Rachel laughed, scooping her daughter into her arms and spinning her around. "Hey, cupcake! Don't break me!" That was Rachel's little nickname for Holly, and had been ever since she was born. The reason behind it was that, when Rachel was pregnant, she craved cupcakes. She would demand Jesse make her some whenever he got the chance and, if he couldn't make them, he had to go out and buy them. When Rachel wanted something, she got it.

Holly detached herself from Rachel and hugged a rather bemused Jesse, who was standing next to her. "Hey, remember me?" he laughed. "No one could forget you, Eggy!" Holly grinned. "Cheeky!" Jesse pinched her nose. Holly liked to tease him, whenever she got the chance, about the time that Jesse and Vocal Adrenaline had thrown eggs at Rachel. Rachel delighted in seeing this. It was her own form of payback.

Seating themselves on the various make-shift chairs around the room, Holly told Rachel and Jesse about her day. "Perfect song choice, cupcake. Not too showy and it's personal to you. I bet Sam was sobbing!" Holly nodded and laughed. "I did see some tears!" Rachel remembered the days when Sam and she had had a minor relationship. She cringed at the thought! He was more like a brother to her now!

"Come on, Hol! Let's have a girly chat! You can show me your new room!" Holly led Rachel to her bedroom, leaving the guys to discuss Jesse's latest project, although Kurt would much rather be gossiping with the girls!

"So," Rachel seated herself on the bed, "Seen any cute boys or girls yet?" Holly giggled, blushing slightly. "Only boys, mum!" Rachel nodded and then, noticing the slight pink shade of Holly's cheeks, said, "There is someone! Tell me more!"

"There's a boy in Glee Club. I've only met him once, and he's not in any of my classes yet."

"What's his name? What does he look like?" Rachel voice grew faster, the more excited she got.

"His name is Caleb. He has ginger hair and blue eyes. I don't know a lot about him, except that he also has gay dads!"

"That seems to run in the Glee family!" Rachel smiled. She knew Holly would get on well and make friends easily. Rachel had found that difficult, but Holly wasn't like her in that sense. She took after Blaine when it came to making friends. Rachel couldn't help but feel proud of her little girl. Legally she was Kurt and Blaine's, but Rachel still felt connected to Holly. She wanted what was best for her and would support her in everything she did.
