Sara's POV
I had trusted Tegan and Joseph to watch our apartment and not burn anything down, as I went to pick up Jenna from the airport. I wondered what she would look like, if she would look like her brother, tall with brown hair and eyes or if she would look different. I sighed and pulled into a parking space and waited at our designated rendezvous point. When I saw her walking to me I instantly knew it was her. She looked exactly like her brother except she didn't have brown eyes but piercing green ones.
"Hello, I'm Sara Quin. I presume you're Jenna Troy." I said extending my hand. She smiled and took me into a hug instead.
"You'd be right." She told me smiling. "Sorry. I'm just really grateful for everything you've done for my Joey."
I smiled back. "It was really no trouble. He's an amazing young man and Tegan and I are more than happy to make him, and you apart of our family."
"So you're like really married to Tegan Quin then?" She asked. I laughed before responding.
"Yes I really am married to Tegan Quin. I hear you're a huge fan."
"Oh my god yes. I love her… urm I mean I love her music." She blushed.
"Its quite alright to say you love her. I made the decision to share her with all the fan girls a long time ago." We laughed and got into the car and drove to my apartment.
"You look a lot like Joseph." I remarked during the drive.
"Yeah. Everyone says that. We look like our father but I inherited our mother's eyes. Joey's always been jealous of them."
"I can see why. They're beautiful." I told her.
"Thanks." Jenna said. When we arrived to the apartment Tegan and Joseph were watching a movie in the living room.
"Jenna!" Joseph shouted and ran to her, grabbing the young woman into a hug and lifting her off the ground spinning them a few times before setting his older sibling down.
"Wow Joey. You've grown so much since I last saw you." Jenna remarked tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry cause I'm finally taller than you Jen." Joseph joked.
'"Shut up." She said punching his arm playfully. I smiled and stood next to Tegan. She her self looked like she was going to cry.
"Don't cry, Tee. They're happy." I told her as we watched the sibling's reunion.
"I know. It just reminds me of Ted and how grateful I am that I have him. Even if he's not a blood relative he's still my older brother."
"Awe. I know Tegan." Later that evening we all went out to dinner and got to catch up with Jenna's life, and she our lives. Joseph, Tegan and I still couldn't get over the fact that she couldn't even speak to Tegan at first. She had been too star struck but as the evening progressed she got more comfortable and bantered with us as if Tegan was just another friend, rather than one of her favorite singers. The rest of the weekend with Jenna was spent getting to know her better and just having fun with a game night and a movie marathon, doing family things they Troy siblings had missed out on in their childhood. Right before I was to take her back to the airport she thanked Tegan and I for her wonderful weekend, but also for taking care of her brother. She said she would no longer have to worry about him and she trusted us completely. After assuring her it was our pleasure to have taken her brother in and promising her tickets to Tegan's next show in Montreal and making our home welcome to her at anytime, I took her to the airport. On my drive to work after dropping Joseph's sister off I started to think of our family's future. I was still on the fence about joining Tegan as a musical duo, so I called the one person I knew would help me decide what to do, Emy. Only after we had a short conversation and making a promise to meet up for dinner that night was I able to focus on my work. When I got home to get ready Tegan was snooping.
'So where ya goin'?" She asked.
"I told you I'm going out to dinner with Emy today."
"I know. I just wanted to make sure so me and Joseph could go out and buy nothing but candy and junk food for our dinner."
"Tegan, I swear. I married a teenage boy." I muttered shaking my head.
"Oh c'mon. You know you love me babe." She said snaking her hands around my waist before kissing my neck tenderly. I moaned before moving away from her grasp.
"Not now, Tee. I have to get ready." After I had made sure of the restaurant location I told Joseph to do his homework. It seemed that I had taken on the title of strict parent, while naturally Tegan was the fun parent. I met Emy in the parking lot of a Japanese restaurant she had chosen. Once we were seated and placed our drink orders we started talking. Emy was my closest friend and had become quite fond of both Tegan and Joseph. I explained the situation I had found myself in to her, and after a few moments of thought she said, "Well what do you want Sara? What's your gut telling you to do?"
"Well every time I think about making music with Tegan, and touring the world with her and Joseph… I get excited, and happy. I mean we're all still young. We're what 24 going on 25. We can still make a career out of music and she has a growing fan base. I think about making music with her and I wonder if said fan base would be into it. I would hope they would like it." I told Emy.
"Then what I gather is that the only real reason you're apprehensive about this whole music thing is the fans?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Well fuck that! Just go for it if you think it'll make you and your family happy and say 'fuck you' to anyone who hates on you or the music. Seriously if her fans don't like the music you make together its whatever, you'll gain new fans. She's already making a name for herself."
"That's true. Thanks Emy. You always know what to say." I smiled.
"Hey that's what best friends are for right? Now lets order some ramen." Emy said her eyes scanning the menu.
