Authors Note: I know Lynette said her mother was abusive but because they haven't really explored that I am just going to pretend that she has a normal family life. I just made up the names of Lynette's family.

Lynette was having one of her many dreams involving Rachel.

FLASHBACK

"What are you planning to do for thanksgiving?" Lynette asked Rachel.

"Um I'm not sure. Probably just go to my mom and dad's," Rachel looked at the ground and Lynette saw the tears coming out of her eyes.

"Rachel honey, what's wrong?" Lynette asked.

"When my parents found out I was a lesbian last summer they haven't really accepted it fully so I though I would just stay here for that weekend," Rachel replied.

"Aww come here," Lynette said and gave Rachel a hug.

"Do you want to come with me when I go see my parents and my sister?" Lynette asked.

"Oh that's okay," Rachel replied

"Rachel its fine my parents won't mind. Please come," Lynette was practically begging.

"Fine. Are you sure your family won't mind?" Rachel asked.

"Don't worry about it," Lynette replied and gave Rachel a kiss on the lips.

3 Days later

"Are you ready to go?" Lynette asked Rachel.
"Yep I'm all packed lets go," Rachel said. They got into Rachel's car and began driving to Lynette's house. They arrived there 3 hours later. Lynette rang the doorbell. Lynette's sister Carrie opened the door.

"Lynette," she said and gave Lynette a hug. "Mom Lynette's here!" Carrie yelled up the stairs. Lynette's mom Jane came down the stairs.

"Hi Lynette," Jane said and have her daughter a hug.

"Who's this?" Carrie asked noticing Rachel.
"This is my friend Rachel," Lynette said.

"Okay well come in,"

Lynette and Rachel walk in the house.

"Where are dad and Monica?" Lynette asked.

"Your dad is picking Monica up at the airport," Jane said. Just then the door opened.
Lynette's sister Monica and her dad James walked in. After everyone had put there bags in there designated rooms they all went into the living room to talk.

"So Monica are you enjoying your promotion at work?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah it's going great," Monica replied. Meanwhile Lynette just sat quietly in the corner sipping her coffee.
"I'm going out for some air," Lynette said and walked out onto the back porch. When she didn't return for 15 minutes Lynette's parents became worried.
"I'll go look for her," Rachel said. Rachel found Lynette crying on the back porch.

"Lynnie, what's wrong?" Rachel asked.
"Everything. Monica and Carrie are so much smarter and prettier than me. Mom and dad like them better," Lynette sobbed.
"Lynnie that's not true. You are gorgeous and intelligent." Rachel hugged Lynette and ran her hand through Lynette's hair until Lynette stopped crying.

END FLASHBACK

The next morning Lynette woke up with a big smile on her face.

"Morning honey," Tom said as Lynette rolled over to face him.

"Good morning Tom," Lynette replied.

"I'm going to make you breakfast wait right here," Tom replied and got out of bed. Lynette reminded herself that she had a loving husband and that she and Rachel were just friends.
