A/N: I got this idea watching Gilmore Girls: A Year in The Life and thinking about the plot of Big Eden (yeah, I know this sounds weird). I don't know what it is, but this idea just...came to me. Also, the Ryan Reynolds movie Just Friends was a huge influence. Anyway, enjoy: Home Sweet Home.
Kurt sighed and wrapped his favorite scarf around his neck and slipped his arms into the sleeves of his second favorite winter coat of the 2020 season. He smiled as he glanced in the mirror to fix his hair and, this time, only gave the slightest glance to the dust collecting on the golden frame of the glass sheet.
He ran down the stairs and sprinted out the door and sped his way to his daughter's school. Once he got there, he saw complete chaos. He knew that it was winter break and all, but he didn't expect to see this much commotion. And all of a sudden, he heard a squeaky, but, adorable voice.
"Daddy!" Kurt turned to see his little princess standing only a few feet away. She ran to him, making her new Sketchers Twinkle Toes light up frantically. Kurt grinned and bent down to her level so he was able to scoop the little ball of energy into his arms.
"Look who it is! Busy Lizzie!" The nickname made the younger one erupt with frantic giggles. "You ready to head to the home to pick up the suitcases?" Elizabeth nodded like a bobble-head with the biggest smile plastered on her face. Kurt carried her to the car and headed home.
Once they fetched their luggage, Kurt pressed a few buttons and called for an Uber and they headed to the airport. As they were headed there, Lizzie looked up at her dad who was frantically pressing buttons and writing notes on his phone for reminders. Kind of like tying a string around your finger to make sure you don't forget something.
"Daddy?" Kurt looked down and the wide-eyed one and smiled.
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Why aren't we spending Christmas here?" Kurt smiled, even more, his daughter was so adorable.
"Because grandma and grandpa want to see you." Kurt attempted to explain.
"But that's why they come here..." Lizzie spoke, confused.
"Well...I could always..."
"NO!" Kurt giggles as her response.
Kurt couldn't believe it...but he couldn't wait to be back home...He didn't know why, but he just couldn't wait to be back where he grew up...for the first time ever...
