A/N: Soo... I came out to my mom while wringing out a mop... I wasn't really sure how to go about Rachel telling her dads but I hope I did okay.
Rachel's eyes shifted nervously between her fathers, her hand griping tightly onto Brittany's for comfort.
"Daddy, Papa, this is my friend Brittany." Rachel says to her dads.
Leroy Berry turned from his place at the kitchen counter, where he was preparing dinner, and turned towards his obviously nervous daughter. Leroy offers his hand to the blonde in front of him. "It's very nice to meet you Brittany." He grins.
Brittany returns his smile and reaches forward, with the hand not holding Rachel's, to shake his outstretched hand.
"It's really nice to meet you too, Mr. Berry. You've got an awesome house." Brittany comments politely.
Hiram Berry shifts his protective glance from Brittany over to his nervous looking daughter. His eyes dip towards their joined hands and raises an eyebrow. He throws a glance towards Leroy, who smiles knowingly. A confused frown etches his features as he extends a hand to Brittany. "Nice to meet you Brittany, I've heard lots about you." Hiram comments, gripping Brittany's hand slightly tighter than necessary.
Brittany manages to hold back her wince at the tight grip as her eyes narrow in confusion. "You have?"
"You're quite the hot commodity." Hiram says, releasing her hand from his grip.
Brittany frowns and leans subtly towards Rachel. "I don't what that means." She whispers when the Berry men turn away from them.
Rachel frowns with a shrug and clears her throat. "Daddy, Papa, I have something to tell you."
Leroy sets down his cooking utensils as he turns towards them again, giving them his full undivided attention. Hiram turns slowly, face set into a deep frown. His eyes narrow at Brittany who pales considerably at his glance.
Rachel's free hand shuffles to the hem of her shirt as her grip tightens on Brittany's hand.
"Sweetie? Is there something wrong?" Leroy asks, smiling reasuringly.
Rachel shakes her head quickly. "No. There's nothing wrong. I just have news that I felt needed to be shared." Rachel says, as she feels the nerves attacking her body, her face heating up.
Leroy nods encouragingly, reasurring smile never faltering. Hiram doesn't shift his glance from Brittany, who's growing increasingly uncomfortable under his stare. 'What?' She mouths. Hiram simply raises an eyebrow, before finally setting his eyes on Rachel.
Rachel swallows hard and squeezes Brittany's hand again before speaking. "I'm gay." She blurts. She frowns for a second. "No wait, I'm not gay... like all the way gay... I still like boys, but I also like girls, well one girl. So I guess I'm bisexual?" She trails into a confused frown, sparing a glance at Brittany who smiles encouragingly and squeezes her hand. "Yes, I am bisexual." She says, nervously flitting her gaze between her fathers.
Leroy smiles and nods his head. "Okay honey. You know we love you regardless." He says calmly.
Rachel releases a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Really?" She asks, feeling tears prick her eyes.
"Of course!" Leroy says, almost offended, bringing a hand dramatically to his chest.
Rachel grins and shoots forward into her Daddy's arms. She hugs him tightly as he chuckles. Wiping her eyes, Rachel steps back and notices her other father hadn't moved, his face contorted into a frown.
Face dropping significantly, Rachel puts a tentative hand on his tensed forearm. "Papa?" She questions.
Leroy watches husband in confusion, while Brittany mentally prepares herself for this to end badly.
Hiram startles at his daughter's touch, mind working into overdrive. "You're Brittany Pierce? Cheerio at McKinley high?" He questions, narrowing his gaze at Brittany.
Brittany smiles weakly and raises her hand slightly. "Guilty."
Hiram nods, before turning towards Rachel. "Honey, you telling us changes nothing. You are still my broadway destined daughter and I love you. I, however, am disappointed at who you chose to bring home." Hiram says honestly, wrapping Rachel in a hug and shooting a glare at Brittany.
Rachel returns the hug, relieved, before pulling back with a frown. "Wait, what do you mean who I chose to bring home?"
"I mean the fact that you chose to bring a cheater to be introduced to your parents." Hiram says, glaring at the tall blonde.
Brittany bristles, eyes narrowing angrily. "Excuse me?"
"Yes you heard me. I know all about you and Sugar, and for you to come here with Rachel, is disrespectful to not only my daughter but Sugar as well." Hiram says, staring the blonde down.
Leroy and Rachel frown as they watch the two.
"Wait, Papa, I think you're misunderstood." Rachel says only to be interrupted.
"No honey. Sugar has told me all about her budding romance with your 'girlfriend' here." Hiram says, glaring at Brittany once more.
Brittany's face turns an angry red and shes about to defend herself before she realises what he actually said. "Girlfriend?" Brittany barks out a laugh.
Hiram falters slightly, glancing in Leroy's, who's trying his best to hide his chuckles, direction. He glances down at Rachel, frowning when he sees her hiding her grin. "What?" He questions feeling as though he'd missed something.
"Oh Papa... I'm not dating Brittany, she was just here for moral support." Rachel explains, giggling slighty. "The thought of Brittany and I in a romantic relationship is absolutely absurd." She says, laughing now.
Brittany frowns. "Did you just insult me?" She pouts, cracking a smile when Leroy and Rachel laugh harder.
Hiram flushes in embarrassment and clears his throat awkwardly. "Well... It seems I have assumed wrong... I appologize profusely, Brittany." He says sincerely, meeting the blondes eyes.
Brittany shrugs. "It's all good. I'd have been pissed to if I thought someone was cheating on my daughter."
Hiram nods, still slightly embarrassed by his actions. "Well than who is this girl?" He asks, looking at Rachel.
Rachel's heart clenches at the thought. She's about to speak when she gets cutoff by her other dad.
"Oh honey, you know! The Latina Cheerio that was parked outside a couple weeks ago! Remember that pink haired girl had to drive her home." Leroy says, turning back to finish up dinner.
Hiram nods in relization. "So how come you didn't bring her?" He asks.
Rachel frowns at the information her Daddy let slip, not even hearing her Papa's question.
Brittany notices Rachel lost in her own thoughts so she answers for her. "They're not together at the moment." She says softly, hoping Hiram understands.
Hiram nods solemnly as Leroy speaks. "That explains why she was looking at Rachel's window longingly. She was quite drunk."
Brittany sighs and shakes her head, slightly frustrated that Rachel now know this information.
"Brittany are you staying for dinner?" Leroy asks, looking at the blonde over his shoulder.
"Yes please!" Brittany answers automatically, suddenly remembering her hunger. She looks towards Hiram hesitantly and smile brightly when he nods approvingly.
"I have to go and see her." Rachel says to herself, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Not right now you're not. First you eat dinner, after that you can do as you please." Hiram says firmly, placing a hand on Rachel's shoulder and guiding her to the table, Brittany trailing after them with Leroy falling with the food.
Leroy places the food on the table and moves to his seat. He claps his hands once.
"Dinner is served!" He proclaims, grinning proudly.
