A couple days later it was back to the real world and the couple was making plan's for thanksgiving with their families. After talking to both parents they had decided to have the first ever Anderson-Hudmel Family thanksgiving. The night before thanksgiving the Anderson's all came over, Blaine was told he would be sleeping in Kurt's room with him since Burt had said he accepted long before this last weekend that they had most likely slept together at some point, all he told Kurt was that he didn't want to hear anything and he'd like to just pretend they were going to have a sexless marriage for the rest of his life and he's appreciate it if Kurt and Blaine just played along with his delusions. With some awkward coughs and blushes Kurt agreed and promised his dad nothing would go 'down in the tent' under his roof. Blaine's parents were set up in the guest room and everyone wished each other goodnights.

The next morning Kurt woke up early slipping out of bed trying not to wake Blaine, the minute he pulled away however Blaine automatically reached out to pull him back and blearily cracked an eye open with a groggy "baby? Where are you going...come back to bed" Kurt leaned on the bed and swooped down to kiss Blaine softly and told him he was going to go start cooking and he could go ahead and go back to sleep, he would bring him some coffee later.

Kurt met up with Blaine's mother and Carole in the kitchen and they each took a job, Mrs. Anderson would be doing the vegetables and mashed potatoes', Carole would be making pecan, pumpkin and apple pies. Kurt would be carrying on the tradition of making the turkey and his mom's famous stuffing. They all started moving around the kitchen on a mission. Kurt also went ahead and started the coffee brewing so it would be ready by the time his father and Blaine woke up. Once he finished preparing the turkey he preheated the oven and slid it in. He heard his father moving around in the room above him and went to the kitchen pulling out some eggs, bacon and pancake batter to whip up a quick breakfast before he started on the stuffing.

As his father shuffled into the room, Kurt was pouring him a cup of coffee and handing it off getting a gruff "thanks kid" in return. Kurt finished up breakfast and was serving it up on plates when Blaine walked into the room followed by a pajama clad Finn who sat at the table and mumbled a quick "good morning" before he bean shoveling food into his mouth.

Blaine stepped up behind Kurt who was pouring him a cup of coffee and hugged him around the middle. Kurt turned in his arms and offered him the proffered cup Blaine smiled at him sleepily in thanks and kissed him softly. Before his eyes widened and he snuck a worried look in Burt's direction, Burt laughed at the panicked look on his face and shook his head.

"Kid I'm not going to look down on you for kissing your own fiancé stop looking like I'm going to kill you for saying good morning"

Blaine blushed, and nodded kissing Kurt quickly once more taking the coffee thanking him and sitting down at the table to eat. After they finished eating, all the men, minus Kurt went into the living room and turned on football.

When the food was ready they all sat around the table and took time to tell what they were thankful for one by one. Burt started.

"I'm thankful...for my family, for you Kurt, who has been with me from day one as the most incredible son any father could ever ask for, for Carole who came into my life and gave me a second chance at love, and for Finn who has become a brother to Kurt, a son to me, I'm incredibly thankful that we have managed to come together as a family"

They went down the line and when it came to Kurt's turn he smiled and took Blaine's hand in his.
"I think everyone here knows what I'm thankful for right now.... I'm thankful for Blaine, for being lucky enough to have found the love of my life and to get to look forward to our future together with him by my side as my fiancé....my future husband, I'm thankful for this amazing group of people who I am lucky enough to call family, the Anderson's included, for being a wonderful addition to this family, for giving me Blaine, My father...who is ....the best and most incredible dad ever and Carole...who is not only so incredibly good to my dad, but has become someone I honestly love and respect and consider a mother figure, I'm thankful for Finn...the best... goofiest... tallestbrother ever. For my amazing friends who have shown me the last few weeks just how far they are willing to go for my happiness. I guess you could say, I'm thankful for the love I've been blessed with in my life."

That year started what would be a tradition for the two families for years to come, their first holiday together as a family. The Anderson-Hudmel family patched together by the two boys whose love had brought them all together.

*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*

Later that night when Mr. Anderson was in bed, he felt for the first time...genuinely happy and proud of his son and his choice of life partner. Even if Blaine had been straight...there was no way anyone would ever be as perfect for him as Kurt was. He knew his son still had doubts about his father's support and approval, so he decided to start planning a gift he could give the boys for their wedding. Something to prove to them both just how much he supported their relationship. He also decided he would offer to help pay for the wedding. These two boys had been through so much together already the last few years, it was fate that they found each other and fell in love. They had both been beat down by the world and still managed to come out on top with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts, more hope for the future than people with a far easier life ever had.
