A/N:Sooooo...it's been a while huh...I'm really sorry for the delay I have for excuse so all I hope is that y'all accept my apologies and enjoy this chapter
Sid rushed into the bathroom at full speed trying to stay alone with her thoughts as she started panicking on her way and once again sent an innocent Bobby flying across the hall, she didn't even apologize to him as she went into the bathroom in panic, she locked the door behind her and walked around in circles thinking to herself (Dang it Sid! Why do you have to be that deep in love?! How am I going to make it through the night without making things awkward when I can't help but fantasize about my best friend when she looks at me?! Ok let's calm down I can make it, I can't let my emotions let me ruin this night for Ronnie Anne! She deserves to have fun today especially after what she did to help me, so we're just gonna play and talk for a bit and then we're gonna sleep together...oh my god...I'm sleeping with Ronnie Anne...I'M SLEEPING WITH RONNIE ANNE!) Sid thought to herself as she was now running in circircles making a small tornado in the bathroom, she only Now fully grasped the fact she'll be sleeping with Ronnie Anne in the same bed...as friends...while literally just yesterday she slept in her arms under the stars while comforting her that incident was before finding out that not only was she into girls but that girl that made her found out is her own best friend, there was a million things going through her mind at the moment, will her feelings make her do something stupid when they're sleeping? Would Ronnie Anne look at her differently for being into girls? How will her own family deal with that? Will they approve of her and accept her? Will they still love her? Will they separate her from Ronnie Anne by taking her with them to the middle east?...ok that last thought was a stretch, after all how will her parents find a stable job there? However there was one thing for sure, she had to tell someone, and unfortunately she couldn't tell Ronnie Anne, she was left with no other option but to tell her parents if she wanted to open up to someone, so she stopped running and pulled out her phone before taking a deep breath and calling her mother
A few seconds passed before Becca picked up and answered "Hey Sweetie" Becca said in a calm simple tone
"H-hey mom...say...I have to tell you something important" Sid said nervously rubbing the back of her head, the last thing she expected from visiting her best friend to give her a robot that would help her mother in work was falling in love with her and finding out she's into girls, and while she loved her family from the bottom of her heart she couldn't help but feel anxious "Listen, it's about Ronnie Anne" Sid said shyly feeling her heart beat quickly from the nervousness
"Save it Sid...we already know what's up" Becca interrupted in a calm almost disappointed tone, a tone that accompanied with the sentence made Sid all the more worried and anxious as several thoughts went through her head
(What does she mean she knows what's up? Does she know I have a crush on Ronnie Anne? But how did she find out? And why does she sound so disappointed? Is she mad at me for being into girls? No no it can't be possible it just can't be! She and dad love me for who I am right? They...they wouldn't care about something like that right?) Sid thought to herself feeling sweat dripping down her face and her heart beating out of her chest as she even started shaking, but she knew she had to respond and ask her mother about it, even if it does confirm the scary possibility "W-w-what d-do you m-mean mom?" Sid asked in a shaky tone due to the fear she was feeling, one that she had never felt before in her life
"Adelaide woke up and told us why she was squealing like that...she said that Carl told her you and Ronnie Anne..kissed" Becca said still maintaining her tone "Now I get why you wanted to sleep over, you wanted to hide your relationship with Ronnie Anne from us weren't you? And you finally wanna tell us now"
Becca's answer didn't really help poor Sid to feel any better, not only was this only partially the truth but her disappointed tone still scared her to bits, she didn't want to believe it but it seems her own mother wouldn't accept her for who she is, that thought almost drove Sid to tears, she wanted to seek comfort and advice in her mother's voice and love, but instead it seems she will have to hide and deny those feelings if she doesn't want to lose her own parent's love, so she ultimately decided to hide her feelings and deny them, she wouldn't be lying if she told her mother she and Ronnie were just friends, even as comfort and a as she wanted to be more, so with her body still shaking and sweating,she finally spoke up
"N-no mom i-it was just a f-friendly kiss I swear, we're not-"
"You can't deny it Sid, so answer my question...were we bad parents?" Becca asked her daughter in a sad tone
"Huh? Why would you ask that?" Sid asked back clearly confused by her mom's question
"LET ME TALK TO HER!" Said Stanley panicking from Becca's side of the talk as she gave him the phone "Oh Sidumms dear we are soooo sorry you had to hide this from us all this time! We didn't do something to give off the implication did we? Oh my god it's because we didn't trust you with the house on your own that one time isn't it?! I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD TRUST HER BECCA NOW OUR DAUGHTER DOESN'T TRUST US ANYMORE!" Stanley said in a panicked tone as Becca rolled her eyes at him
Meanwhile the response from her parents made Sid go through a spiral of emotions, she was surprised, confused but mostly happy and relieved, like a great weight was taken off her shoulders, where as soon as she realized what her parents meant she could feel some tears escaping her eyes and her mouth slowly curved into a huge smile, after that she slowly giggled slowly before bursting into happy loud laughter
"Hehehe...Hahaha...HAHAHAHA YES! WAHOO! YEAAAH! ALRIGHT!" Sid screamed from the bottom of her heart happily as she jumped up and down around the bathroom punching the air in celebration and feeling a huge relief, she seriously wished she was there with her parents do that she could give them the longest and tightest hug she's ever given them
The Changs heard the celebration and got a bit concerned "Um you ok sweetie?" Becca asked
"Yes mom, yes dad, I've never felt so relieved, you guys are the best thank you so much" Sid said happily as tears escaped her eyes "But now, I have to make things clear" Sid then proceeded to explain the whole situation and how she fell in love with Ronnie Anne leaving both Becca and Stanley in surprise
"Wow, so you fell in love with her...ultimately thanks to the moments you two showed how much you value your friendship, wow honey that's rough" Becca said pitying her daughter
"Wait...that means we weren't bad parents! LET'S GOOOO!" Stanley said running around the room in celebration
"Too bad you two aren't girlfriends yet" Becca said
"OH COME ON!" Adelaide screamed in frustration from the outside the room
"Yeah, hopefully I don't mess this up, I don't know if I should tell her or not, she's my first true friend and I'm a bit scared that could ruin our friendship, but at the same time...I really wanna be more than besties...I feel like I could be the happiest girl in the world with her, but I still don't want anything bad to happen to our relationship because of me and my feelings...plus...I think she can do much better than me...so why would she feel the same way? And I want to bottle it up but...I can't..." Sid said sadly as she opened up to her mother about her feelings, hoping she could find the answer from her
"Sid...sweetie...don't think like that, I know you're scared and all but that's completely normal, I get that you're confused right now but listen to me when I say this, I've seen how close you and Ronnie Anne are, don't you remember that sleepover at the zoo?" Becca asked Sid
"Oh yeah, it does bring back memories." Sid said as she looked up and started thinking back to that night at the zoo
It was nighttime in the campsite of the zoo as Carl, CJ, Ronnie Anne, Sid and Adelaide were preparing their sleep bags to sleep, as Ronnie Anne and Sid put their bags right next to each other with Carl and Adelaide on their other sides, Becca was in the mini van watching over the kids that night, the place was relatively calm after the Komodo dragon incident as all the animals went to sleep so no noise from them interrupted the Chang sisters or the Casagrandes from sleeping, all except for one, Ronnie Anne was rolling around in her bag unable to sleep, no matter how much she rolled around and closed her eyes it was no use, she wouldn't sleep at all, and it doesn't help that Sid was directly by her side so she had to move in it quietly to not wake her up (Come on why can't I sleep? I usually don't have that much trouble, did I forget something I need to sleep? No it can't be I brought everything in my room with me! Wait...oh no...) Ronnie Anne thought to herself as she realized what she forgot, and she couldn't possibly sleep without it, the realization made the latina frustrated as she moved in her bag quickly and sighed in frustration making a sudden noise, Ronnie Anne realized that and tried to stop immediately but it was too late, as she noticed slowly opening her eyes and waking up from the noise facing her directly
Slowly but eventually Sid was able to make out the figure in front of her after opening her eyes clearly and yawning, and was surprised to see her best friend look at her with a sheepish smile "R-Ronnie Anne? Why are you still awake? Did you just wake up?" Sid asked in a sleepy quiet tone Ronnie Anne wondering about her best friend's reason for being awake
"N-no, I didn't sleep yet" Ronnie Anne admitted looking down "Sorry for waking you up, just get back to sleep now" Ronnie Anne reassured Sid
However Sid was not having any of that, she can see something was bothering Ronnie Anne and prevented her from sleeping and she can't let that go "Hey is everything ok? I know it's not conventional to sleep here but I can see something is bothering you, come on you can tell me" Sid said in a comforting tone with a warm smile on her face
"I-It's really nothing you should bother yourself with, believe me it's actually kinda silly" Ronnie Anne said trying to get Sid to drop the subject
"I mean if it's not making you sleep it can't be silly" Sid answered
"It's just...it's just a bit embarrassing, you'll probably laugh at how silly it is, plus, I'm pretty tough you know, I can handle myself fine don't worry" Ronnie Anne said assuring Sid trying again to avoid the subject
"Well I do agree that you are pretty tough, however you're still my best friend, I'd never laugh at some bothering you like that, and besides, being tough doesn't mean you can't ask for help, come on Ronnie Anne, you can tell me, trust me I can help you" Sid said with a warm smile as she holded Ronnie Anne's hand and looked her in the eyes
The gesture made Ronnie Anne feel warm on the inside, and a lot more comfortable too, so she decided to open up to her bestie "It's...it's Osito, the teddy bear my dad gave me when I was little, many times I need it to sleep as it kinda comforts me to hug it you know? I know it's a bit childish but I really need that bear, unfortunately I forgot to bring him, that's why I can't sleep, go ahead and laugh at it if you want it's actually kinda funny thinking about it" Ronnie Anne confessed shyly rubbing the back of her head
"Aww Ronnie Anne...I'd never laugh at you for that, I see he's really important to you right? Because of you love to hold him?" Sid asked as Ronnie Anne nodded slowly in confirmation
"Well...why not hug me then? We can share the bag and hold each other! What do you think?" Sid suggested with a huge smile
"I-I don't know are you really ok with that? I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable or anything" Ronnie Anne said shyly
"Actually...I'd love that...your hugs are really...nice...I really love them." Sid said shyly with a small blush on her face
"O-oh! I...I love hugging you too Sid, o-ok then let's share for the night then, come in" Ronnie Anne said as she made space for Sid in the sleeping bag, prompting Sid to smile widely and get in it snuggling with her best friend
As soon as they got together in the bag they looked at each other warmly with smiles on their faces,they then slowly but eventually holded each other and sank into each other's arms and warm hugs, as Sid buried her head and face I'm Ronnie's hoodie while hugging her tightly, Ronnie Anne could feel the warmth of Sid's hug and face and it made her feel a lot more comfortable to sleep
"Thanks Sid, your hug is so nice and comfy, you don't mind if I sleep in it do you?" Ronnie Anne asked with rosy cheeks
"Of course not silly, this is why I'm hugging you in the first place, to make you feel like Osito's with you, does it work?" Sid asked calmly
"It sure does, I think I'll be able to sleep nicely now, thanks for this Sid, you're really the best, and thanks for not laughing at me too" Ronnie Anne said as she hugged Sid warmly and smiled widely
"No problem, after all you'd do the same for me, we look out for each other we know?" Sid said assuring Ronnie Anne
"Hehe, of course, I care about you Sid, thanks for caring about me back, you're amazing" Ronnie Anne said feeling a huge warmth and happiness inside her
"You too Ronnie Anne...I love you...I couldn't ask for a better bestie" Sid said shyly with rosy cheeks also feeling a huge comfort and warmth in Ronnie's arms
"I love you too Sid, goodnight" Ronnie Anne said as she closed her eyes and hugged Sid tightly
"Goodnight Ronnie Anne" Sid responded as she also closed her eyes slowly before ultimately sleeping in Ronnie's arms, as both girls went to sleep with warm huge smiles on their faces, both feeling huge warmth and love in their hearts for each other, and eventually Becca went to check on the kids sleeping and saw the two of them in the bag
"Hehe, if I didn't know any better I'd say those two were a couple" Becca said jokingly as she smiled at the sight of the cuddling smiling besties in each others' arms
"That night was amazing" Sid said smiling to herself as she thought of that memory, a one that she held close to her to the point she could recall every detail, because it's how much that night meant to her
"Yup, I could see you two really care about each other, so perhaps Ronnie Anne does have feelings for you, and even if she doesn't she obviously cares about you enough to not let some emotions get in the way of your friendship, so come on Sidumms, get in there and don't worry about a thing, enjoy your night with Ronnie Anne and know that no matter what happens, you two will always be close to each other's hearts, now where's my energetic ball of sunshine?" Becca said in a loud tone encouraging her daughter and assuring her
"Yeah, YEAH! YOU'RE RIGHT MOM! RONNIE ANNE CARES ABOUT ME! AND WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT I'LL TELL HER HOW I FEEL! BUT FOR NOW! I have to prepare to sleep with her" Sid said
"OH! This'll be awkward, but hey at least you two did it twice now" Becca responded
"Yeah I guess so, thanks for the talk mom, it seriously helped" Sid said with a huge smile
"Anytime sweetie, and hey you already have her number so that's one step done! Keel it up and you'll have yourself a cute tough girlfriend" Becca said confidentially
"Thanks, well gotta go now, pretty sure I made everyone wait outside for too long, bye mom!"
"Bye sweetheart enjoy your night!" Becca said as they finally hung up as Sid sighed a huge sigh of relief and looked up
"Well, time to enjoy the rest of the night" Sid said as she finally exited the bathroom and went to Ronnie's room, preparing herself for what the rest of the night has for her
