A/N: So I kinda knew this chapter would happen. Also gives the story some more umpf to it. Also, I reallllly hope I can update sooner, but it looks like it may be once or twice a week now. This job is KILLING me. Enjoy though!


"Mom?" Imogen looked confused as she saw who she came inside of the house with.

"Imogen this is Sherry."

Imogen and Fiona looked confused. Imogen's mom definitely had a few drinks in her.

"Nice to meet you." Sherry put her hand out for Imogen to shake. Imogen declined the hand shake, but smiled at the stranger.

Imogen noticed her mother's lipstick was faded a bit.

"Did you drive her home?" Imogen asked Sherry.

"Yeah, she told me where she lived. I haven't drank all night. Your mom had a few."

Imogen's mom rarely drank.

"Where did you go?" Imogen asked her mom.

"Lips." Imogen's mom said.

Lips was a name of a lesbian bar on the west side of Toronto.

"What the hell mom! This is a woman you met at the lesbian bar!?" Imogen asked her mouth in a raised tone of voice.

"Well I mean the whole men thing wasn't working out and you and Fiona seem to be happy."

"I think I'll be leaving. I'll call you later tomorrow Natalie. Nice meeting you Imogen." Sherry said.

"No stay please!" Natalie pleaded.

"Mom! Fiona and I are happy because we love each other and we are LESBIANS! You can't just go to a lesbian bar out of the blue just because a man isn't into you at the time! Mom you aren't gay!" Imogen paced her house.

"I'm confused." Sherry said.

Fiona looked more confused than anyone and stayed seated on the couch.

"You're not the only one." Imogen told the woman.

"You see, this is my girlfriend Fiona over there on the couch. We are in love and a lesbian couple. My mother here, who mind you rarely goes out, being a doctor and all, well you see she hasn't dated for a while because men are assholes according to her. She must've gotten an idea in her head to go out and have a few drinks and meet you, no offense, but my mom isn't gay and I'm sorry you had to be the one to hear this, but it's true." Imogen explained.

"Imogen!"

"Mom! This is not you!"

Sherry looked more confused as the minutes passed.

"Sherry, I'm sorry this is what you had to come over here to see. I'll call you later. Thank you for the ride." Natalie said, sitting down in a chair, removing her heels.

"No problem. Have a good night and try to stay sober. I'm not sure if I'll get to see you again, but I hope to." Sherry said, walking out of the house.

"Imogen! So what if I want to try dating women. Is that so bad? Maybe I feel the same way about them as you!"

"Mom that is ridiculous!"

"Think about it. Why else haven't you ever seen me date or seen me with a man." Imogen's mother said.

"But mom, you're always busy!"

"But Imogen. This is the exact reason why I am so shocked to see you with Fiona. The reason I went out tonight is because seeing my own daughter so happy, gave me hope that I too could find happiness in being myself."

Imogen looked at Fiona confused, yet sympathetic, if this was all true. Even though her mom had a few drinks in her, she definitely wasn't smashed. Besides, the truth comes out when someone drinks, right?

"But why did you give me all that, you can't be with a girl. It's wrong. It's immoral. Dad will hate me."

"Imogen, I was so upset with hiding my identity that I wanted you to hide yours too. It wasn't right and I was horrible, but I felt like I need to hide myself from the world and from you. I never even really expected the truth to come out tonight and I am babbling on, but honey, I understand what you are going through."

"I-I just don't know why you would keep that to yourself for so long."

"I know, I understand that and it's also another reason your father and I divorced. I told him and he wanted to hide you from me as well. It wasn't right on either one of our beings."

Imogen gave her mom a hug.

"Well I want you to be happy mom and of course I accept you. We are two peas in a pod now. Now go lay down, shower, and sleep. Sherry seems like a nice woman. She's pretty attractive mom."

Fiona walked over to hug Natalie as well.

"Aww. Thank you Fiona."

"No problem Natalie. I accept you too. You can be yourself around us. We love you."

Imogen's mom smiled and walked upstairs to her bedroom.

"And Imogen? She is a nice woman."

Imogen smiled.

"Night." Imogen said to her mom.

"Night Imogen. Night Fiona."

Imogen grabbed her mom's phone and gave Sherry a secret call after a few minutes.

"Why are you calling her?" Fiona asked, as Imogen sat next to her on the couch.

"You'll see."

Imogen put her phone on speakerphone for Fiona to hear.

"Hi Sherry. This is Imogen. Do I have a story for you."

"Oh hello Imogen. I hope Natalie is okay now."

"Oh she is, but I wanted to apologize for my actions earlier. I kinda of came off a little rude, but my mother is gay. She explained that she kept her feelings hidden for years and it was why my parent's divorced."

"Your mom told me her situation. I don't know if she told you yet, but Natalie and I actually started talking online a few months ago. She was free and wanted to meet me and I was really happy to meet her and we decided to hang out in an accepting environment."

"Oh really? That's so cool. I know I don't sound completely convinced about you guys yet, but I just found out that my mom likes females. I'm sorry."

"Imogen, don't be sorry. I have a daughter myself, a son too actually. Neither one is gay, but I was in a pretty similar situation, so I understand."

Imogen looked at Fiona shocked.

"Oh that's awesome! Well, I know my mom really likes you, it's hard to really tell since she had a few drinks, but it was pretty much a given that she does."

"She does, clearly if I didn't think so, I wouldn't be meeting her at all."

"I hope you keep talking to her, because my mother needs someone right now to talk to and have to understand her situation."

"I hope we do too. Please tell her to call me."

"She already plans on it. Have a great night Sherry." Imogen said, saying goodbye to her mother's date.

"Oh wow. Didn't expect that." Imogen said.

"Seriously, that's pretty awesome though." Fiona said.

"Awesomely weird." Imogen laughed.

"Okay, well since you already have everything here, I guess you're here for the night?" Imogen asked Fiona, getting off the couch.

"Yep. Ugh why does school have to be tomorrow?" Fiona sighed.

"I know, but right now, school is the least of my worries. What I heard tonight forever changes me, but in a good way."

"I don't know Im. I think you're pretty lucky to have a mom who understands who you are. My mom is the straightest woman I think I've ever met. You have it made." Fiona said.

"Maybe, but it's going to take some time getting used to." Imogen said, walking upstairs to her bedroom with Fiona.

"Definitely."

The girls got into their pajamas and called it a night. School was in the morning and Imogen was pretty happy to head back to the books and finish up the year after all she had been through tonight.
