A/N:- Hey guys, new chapter yay! It's now time to tell Phil's family. How will they react? Hope you guys like it. Now onto the story...

Dan turned and looked at Phil who now sported a terrified expression. "Phil what's up? You look like you just saw a ghost."

"It's nothing."

"Phil, don't lie to me. Just tell me what's wrong?"

"I...I don't know how my Dad will react."

"Has he ever said anything homophobic?"

"I'm not sure."

"It's okay. I know your Mum will be fine with it and I'm sure your Dad will be too."

"Okay."

"You ready?"

"As I'll ever be" Dan dialed the number in and put the phone on loud speaker again. Someone answered after the second ring.

"Hello?" a feminine voice that was not Phil's Mums came through the speaker.

"Hello? Who is this?" Phil asked confused to who was answering his parents phone.

"I'm Cheri, Martyn's girlfriend."

"Oh, hi."

"May I ask who this is?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm Phil? Martyn's brother?"

"Oh. Okay. Do you want me to get Martyn or someone?"

"Er... Could you ask everyone? Tell them I have something to tell them."

"Yeah sure. Phil's on the phone and wants to tell everyone something" She said the last part with her hand covering the phone, muffling her voice slightly as she talked to someone - probably Martyn as they heard him shout 'Family meeting. Phillip called' there was a rustling sound and then his brother spoke again.

"What's up, Philly? You're on loud speaker."

"Are Mum and Dad there?"

"Yeah, they're here. So come on. What do you want to tell us?"

"Well... uhh. I... Me..." Phil's voice cut off with a choking sound. He looked at Dan desperately looking for a way out of this. Dan decided to answer his prayers.

"Hi, Mr and Mrs Lester, Martyn and Cheri? Was it? It's Dan here. Don't worry Phil's fine. He's just panicking."

"What is he panicking about? Is it what he wanted to tell us?" Mrs Lester's worried maternal voice came through the phone.

"Yeah, he's worried about your reactions"

"Well, I'm sure he has nothing to worry about"

"I'm sure he doesn't. I'll try to get him to talk to you. Hold on just an moment" he turned to Phil who was curled up in a ball, knees tucked to his chest and arms enveloped around them, leaning against the head board. Dan saw that the older man was having a panic attack which worried Dan as he hadn't had one in years. "Phil? Phil, calm down. You're okay. I'm here" Dan said comfortingly as he set the phone on the bed in front of them and wrapped his arms around a shaking Phil, continuing to whisper words of comfort in his ear.

Dan knew well how to deal with Phil's panic attacks as he use to have them all the time when they first met. Soon after that he was put on medication. The first prescription made them worse but after a few different types and doses they calmed down and were now a rare occurance. The last one he had was just after they had moved to London.

Soon Phil had calmed down a bit but still looked anxious. Dan decided it was now or never.

"Phil, we can call this whole thing off now if you want" the aforementioned man-child shook his head, he wanted to be with Dan - even if it was all for a prank "do you want me to tell them?"

"Please" Phil whispered into the darker male's shoulder. Dan turned back to the phone which carried worried and slightly angry voices asking what was wrong with Phil.

"Hey, I'm back. Sorry I took so long."

"Where's Phillip?" A gruff voice that belonged to Phil's Dad boomed.

"He is right next to me."

"Let me talk to my son" Mr Lester demanded.

"He's a bit shaken up at the moment but wants me to tell you his news."

"Why is he shaken up? What happened to him?" Martyn asked worried for his baby brother.

"He got himself too worked up and obviously forgot to take his medication, so he had a anxiety attack."

"Oh, dear. Phil, you silly sausage. You know you need to take your medication and I hope you know that you can tell us anything. We will always love you."

"I know, Mum. Love you, too" Phil called shakily.

"So, what did you want to tell us?"

"Dan's gonna tell you" Phil whispered (loud enough to be heard) meekly.

"Okay, Dan?"

"Phil wanted to tell you... Well, we wanted to tell you that we are... Well, we're together."

"Fucking called it!" Phil's elder brother shouted down the phone.

"Language, Martyn. Phil, is this true?" Mr Lester asked calmly.

"Yes" Phil squeaked.

"Well, congratulations, I have always known that you weren't into girls. Should have seen it earlier, really. I mean when you first met Daniel you couldn't shut up about him, and all those dates and late night chats. I really shouldn't be surprised" Phil's father said. Phil sobbed.

"What's wrong?"

"I... just... thought that... you wouldn't... accept me."

"We will always love you and I thought you knew that. Well, I'm sorry that we didn't show or tell you enough" Phil's Dad replied.

"You did" Phil said still sniffling in Dan's arms "I'm just an idiot."

"No you're not. You were just scared. That's okay." Phil's mum said, soothingly.

"Thank you."

"No need to thank us, bro" Martyn said "I always knew so it wasn't really a surprise."

"Yes, we really should have seen this coming. I mean when you met Dan in person for the first time you came home with a massive grin on your face and talked about him for hours. I remember your brother was making gagging motions, but I thought it was sweet" Mrs Lester laughed.

"I gagged because it was so sickeningly sweet that I was actually going to throw up" his voice turned mocking and high "He was so funny and sweet and he had the cutest dimples. His eyes were such a deep chocolate colour. Blegh."

"Okay, you guys can stop now."

"Awwww. Is lickle Phillipa getting embarrassed."

"No, don't call me Phillipa. I'm a boy and I'm not getting embarrassed."

"I seem to recall a certain series of videos and you so are."

"Shut up!"

"Phillip, language!" his mother scolded.

"Sorry, Mum."

"Mm-Hm."

"Oh, shit!" Martyn cussed.

"Language!"

"Sorry, but we're kinda gonna be late for meeting Cheri's parents for lunch."

"Oh dear, sorry, Phil, sweetie. We're going to have to talk to you later."

"Okay. Love you bye."

"Good bye Phil, Dan."

"Bye, everyone" Dan and Phil said simultaneously.

"Bye, congratulations, love you" they all chorused back, then hung up.
