Chapter 13
She actually took it better than I thought she would. She didn't call me nuts or laugh at me once.
But then, that might be because, in the middle of telling my mom about being a mediator, Jesse materialized and somehow-don't ask me how, because I don't know-my mom saw him.
Yeah, needless to say, she was kind of freaked out. And it freaked her out even more when I told her that he was my husband. It's weird; that seemed to freak her out more than everything else that I told, even about the Agency and the whole mind control thing. I guess that finding out your son- in-law is a hundred-and-fifty-year-old ghost is rather shocking.
I avoided telling her about my dad, or about what had happened to Paul. I don't think that Jesse really wanted me to tell my family about that. As it turned out, they'd find out eventually, anyway.
This isn't to say that I had an easy time telling my mom-or Andy and my stepbrothers, for that matter. Well, Doc was the only one who really believed me, but I hadn't thought I'd have a hard time convincing him. It was everyone else I had a hard time telling.
Granted, they believed me after I . . . ah, showed off my mind control talents. I didn't do anything big, but. . . well, let's just say that Dopey won't be eating a lot of chicken for awhile.
When I'd finally convinced them, my mom just hugged me and said, "Oh, Suzie, why didn't you tell us?" And you know what? I started bawling. Seriously. It was just like everything that I'd been holding inside for the past eighteen (A/N: Remember, she's technically eighteen now) years was suddenly coming out in one big flood, and there wasn't anything that I could do about it.
But you know what the funny thing is? As soon as I'd gotten it all out, it was like I was suddenly free. All the secrets I'd had to keep over the years were finally out in the open, and I didn't have to worry about my mom finding out or whatever. Because now she knew, and she wasn't going to send me off to the loony bin-I made her promise as much. She just kind of laughed and hugged me some more.
As hard as it had been, I kind of liked the outcome. And Dopey sort of started giving me a rather wide birth for a while.
Unfortunately, the hard stuff had just begun.

A/N: Jeez, that was short. I know that chapter sucked, I'm sorry. I'm not really good at writing that kind of thing. .
