Thank you for the love last chapter. Here is the next chapter.
"Brett! Your phone is ringing!" Santana shouts
Brett comes running in and grabs the phone. He expecting a call from his coach and would hate to miss it.
'Hello' Brett says.
'Brett, my boy'
Brett nearly throws his phone, hearing his father's voice for the first time in years. The last time he talked to his father was right before his mom told him about the reason for the divorce.
Flashback
"Brett," Santana says looking up at him.
"Yeah," Brett says.
Since they started dating Santana has noticed that her boyfriend never mentions his dad or why his parents aren't together.
"What's with you dad?" Santana asks wanting to know. "You never talk about him."
"He and my mom got a divorce before Mariam was born. I was never close with him as he wanted me to stay a girl." Brett tells her.
"Do you know why they got divorced? Was it because of you?" Santana softly asks.
"My mom never said why." Brett admits, he's always suspected his dad cheated or something like that.
Susan had heard them talking and decides that her son not only deserves to know, but he can handle the truth now. He's sixteen and has Santana who has been an amazing calming force for her son when he gets mad (which isn't often).
"Brett," Susan says coming into the living. "I think you're old enough to know why I divorced your father." she says knowing that he has questions and probably already suspects the reason.
"I'll leave," Santana says moving to get up.
"No San," Brett says grabbing her hand.
"Please stay," Santana says. "You can hear this too."
Santana sits back down next to Brett.
"You know I tried to protect you from the divorce and make sure that you know I loved you no matter what your dad thought." Susan says.
"You did mom." Brett reassures her.
"Brett's mentioned how caring and protective of him you have been." Santana adds.
"Well, when I was pregnant with your sister, I found out your father had been cheating on and with me." Susan says before Brett erupts, jumping up.
"That fucker! I'm goin-"
Santana grabs his arm and forces him to sit back down.
"B, relax," she softly says. "Let's hear the rest of what she has to say."
"Sorry mom," Brett says.
Susan places her hand on Brett's, letting out a soft sigh.
"As you know already, your dad has two older children with another woman. Well, apparently, he was still with her when we got together. He never dumped her even after we got married, they're not married. It wasn't until I got pregnant with your sister that I figured it all out. That your dad was cheating on me and that's why he was always gone." Susan says. "I didn't want you to know as I know how protective you are."
Brett pulls his mom into a hug. "I've suspected since I found out about his other kids that he might have cheated." he tells her.
"I didn't want you to get in trouble because I knew you'd try to beat up your father. I'm trusting you to keep a cool head and not try to seek him out for revenge. I'm happy with my life now." Susan says knowing her son.
"I won't, I promise." Brett says.
He doesn't want to see or talk to his father. After the pain he caused, if he does see him though all bets are off.
"Brett's dad doesn't seem like he's in your lives." Santana says.
"He's not, thankfully," Susan says.
End Flashback
Brett hasn't wanted to see or talk to his dad since and his dad hasn't tried to reach out. So, this is more than shocking especially since he wasn't close to his dad even before finding out the reason for the divorce.
Flashback
"What do you mean she is now a he?" Tom shouts at his wife.
"He felt like a boy so I'm calling him Brett now and moved schools so he can start over." Susan tells her husband.
"It's bad enough, she has a dick and you won't even think her get the surgery to have it removed. Now you're letting her be a he!" Tom shouts. "I will not let my daughter be a fagot!"
"TOM!" Susan gasps. "Our son is just trying to be himself."
Later that day Tom confronts his daughter who he refuses to refer to as a boy.
"Brittany, honey!" Tom shouts when he hears he door open.
"Dad?" Brett says shocked his father is here. "Didn't mom tell you; I'm going by Brett now?"
"I will not allow this." Tom growls. "You are a girl. If you would just have surgery to remove your penis then you could be a true girl." he says yet again.
"Tom!" Susan shouts having heard them talking and come in to make sure he doesn't try to pressure their son. "Do not talk to our son like that."
"This is our daughter! Not a boy! She's a freak but can fix it with surgery!" Tom shouts.
"Get out!" Susan shouts. "Don't come back until you change your attitude."
End Flashback
Tom faked being okay around Susan as he didn't want to be kicked out again, but he wasn't. He'd make comments to Brett over the years. It bothered Brett some that his dad wasn't supportive at all. But they didn't have a close relationship as Tom was gone a lot.
Flashback
"I'll be gone for a month." Tom says coming into the kitchen.
"But you just got home yesterday." Brett says.
Even though he doesn't get along with his dad, he still misses him.
"I know, but I just got offered another project that pays really well and we need the money." Tom says.
"But you said you'd come to my school play." Brett pouts.
"Next time, I promise." Tom says leaving.
"Did your dad just leave again." Susan asks coming down dressed for work.
"Yeah, he'll be gone for a month." Brett says.
"Well….do you want some ice cream after I get home?" Susan asks.
"Yes,"
End Flashback
That was common. Tom being gone for longer periods of time. Brett can only count ten times that he remembers his dad being home for more than two weeks. He was constantly leaving for work and visiting his other family. He also was never there for Brett. He always had some excuse as to why he couldn't be at any important events in Brett's life.
"Is everything okay?" Santana asks when she sees him just staring at the phone.
"It's my dad," Brett says.
'Hello, Brittany, Brett, whatever you're calling yourself.' Tom loudly says.
"I can't talk to him." Brett says.
Santana hugs her boyfriend tightly. She knows that her boyfriend's dad is an ass and they haven't spoken in years.
"I will," Santana says taking the phone.
She's heard a lot of stories about his dad all bad but knows that Brett needs to know why he called.
Flashback
Santana and Brett are curled together talking. For the first time Brett is opening up about his dad. The only time they've talked about him is when Susan told Brett about the divorce.
"My dad has never been okay with me being trans. He wanted me to stay a girl and have surgery to fix me." Brett tells her.
"Oh B," Santana says hugging him.
"Thankfully I don't talk or see him." Brett says. "At least since the divorce."
"You're perfect the way you are." Santana softly says.
Brett smiles at her. "He's said some very mean things to me over the years. I'm glad he's not in my life anymore."
"At least you have Grey." Santana says.
"Yeah, he's a better dad and I'm glad Mariam doesn't know our biological dad." Brett says.
End Flashback
'Hello,' Santana says having taken the phone.
'Who the fuck- Brittany? Thank god you've decided to become a girl again. I can't believe you didn't tell me.' Tom rambles so excited. 'Why are you on the guys team if-'
'Mr. Pierce, I'm not Brett, I'm his girlfriend Santana.' Santana says. 'Brett doesn't want to talk to you so-'
'You do know that he is a girl who is a freak born with a dick.' Tom loudly says.
Not taking the bait, Santana ignores the comments and gets to the point.
'Why are you calling?'
'I heard Brett will be drafted high in the NBA draft. I want to talk to him.' Tom says.
'Brett doesn't want to talk to you.' Santana bluntly says.
'Listen you little whore, just because you're fucking my daughter doesn't mean you can keep her from me!' Tom shouts at her.
'He doesn't want to talk to you.' Santana says tears forming in her eyes.
Brett looks at his girlfriend a little worried as she seems stressed.
'Fucking slut! Put my daughter on whore!' Tom shouts. 'Fucking dike!'
Santana can't ignore all the horrible things he just said to her and she starts sobbing. Now as soon as she starts crying Brett loses it. He can't stand when someone makes Santana cry. He grabs the phone.
'What the fuck did you say to my girlfriend!?' Brett growls.
'Brittany, it's good to-'
'My name is Brett.' Brett growls. 'If you ever make my girlfriend cry again, I will hurt you.'
'She's nothing, once your drafted you can-'
'Shut the fuck up.' Brett growls. 'I never want to hear from you again.'
'I'm your father.' Tom says. 'I want to help-'
'No! You're not my father. You're the egg donor who's an asshole and was never around. I don't need your help.' Brett shouts before hanging up.
"San," Brett says pulling her into him.
Santana sobs harder, her arms wrapped tightly around her boyfriend.
"Shh babe, it's okay. Don't listen to whatever my dad said." Brett softly says just holding her.
"He was so derogatory." Santana sniffles.
"We never have to talk to him again." Brett promises.
Ava comes in and frowns when she hears sniffling. She looks over and sees her twin crying.
"What the fuck did you do?!" Ava shouts at Brett.
Since he's the only other person here, she assumes that he caused this.
"You fucking made San cry!" Ava shouts.
"AVA!" Brett shouts to stop her from continuing. "I didn't cause her to cry."
"Then who did?" Ava asks looking around for someone to fight.
"My dad called. I couldn't talk to him so San did. He said something very insulting to her that made her cry. I grabbed the phone, yelled at him and hung up." Brett explains.
"Do we need to do anything?" Ava asks sitting next to Santana, rubbing her back.
"No, I handled it." Brett reassures her.
Santana at this point has calmed down and is just curled into Brett.
"What did he say?" Ava asks
"I don't know, she didn't say." Brett says and they both look at Santana.
"He called me some horrible names." Santana says.
Ava opens her mouth to say something but Brett shakes his head.
"Well, if I ever see that bastard, I'll kick his ass." Ava says before heading to her room.
"Are you okay?" Brett asks.
"I am now," Santana says wrapping her arms around him as he scoops her up into his arms.
"Good,"
