Author's Note: Sorry this has taken so long, been distracted with other things. I decided this could use a second part before moving on to the next item on the list. I don't know what will come next, though I would like to figure out what's up with On Movies and Life. No promises though. Stuff will come when it does. Stay tuned. On with it.

"Good morning beautiful." Chloe said as she woke to find Aubrey watching her sleep. "How long have you been awake?"

"Not long. Five, ten minutes or so." Aubrey answered before pressing a gentle kiss to Chloe's forehead. "I've just been thinking."

"About what?" Chloe asked, snuggling closer to the blonde. "Good things I hope."

"Oh definitely." Aubrey confirmed. "Like how amazing it feels that I don't have to hide who I am anymore."

"I'm really happy for you you know." Chloe said, giving the blonde a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Thank you baby." Aubrey said "You know you're the first girl I've had in here. I mean in a...lesbian way."

"Really? Not even that Emma girl from next door?" Chloe teased, causing Aubrey to roll her eyes.

"Not even her. She's two years younger than me for starters." Aubrey explained.

"Two years isn't a huge deal, look at your uncle." Chloe pointed out. "I'd date someone younger, if she were amazing and I weren't head over heels in love with you.

"I know." Aubrey conceded. "Still, as enthusiastic and friendly as she may be, I'm fairly certain she's as straight as they come. And damn is she hot, just wait till you meet her at the party later. I mean nowhere near as hot as you, but if she had given me half a chance last year, I don't think I could have said no."

"Is that really the kind of thing you should be saying to your girlfriend?" Chloe cocked an eyebrow.

"Sorry sweetie." Aubrey apologized coyly, guilt clear on her face till she saw a grin spread across Chloe's.

"No it's ok, I was just teasing." Chloe laughed. "I know you love me. You told your parents about me."

"And I intend to tell everyone else at the party." Aubrey said. "After today, the entire Fitzwallace and Posen families will know I'm gay and in love with Chloe Beale."

"And I'll be right by your side as you do it." Chloe beamed, kissing Aubrey again as a knock came on the door.

"Hey your mother's making breakfast, she said it'll be ready in about ten minutes." Ray called through the door.

"She's your sister." Aubrey called back to him.

"That doesn't mean I have to admit it." Ray answered back. "See you down there."

"They always tease each other like that." Aubrey explained. "Let's go get something to eat

"Good morning ladies." Dick said as Aubrey and Chloe made their way to the dining room. "Did you sleep well?"

"Fantastic, thank you Mr. Posen." Chloe said as she took a seat at the table.

"You can call me Dick." He said as he turned his attention back to the paper he had been reading.

"I will." Chloe confirmed as she stifled a yawn.

"You two want some coffee?" Larissa asked as she came into the dining room from the kitchen. "Breakfast is almost ready, come get in line."

"Sounds great." Aubrey said as everyone headed for the kitchen to get food and drink. Soon enough, they were all seated around the table again.

"So, Bree, I was thinking last night that when we greet everyone, I had been planning on mentioning you and Janet of course." Aubrey's mom started. "I was thinking, if you're ready and you want me to, I could mention Seth and Chloe as well, take some of the pressure off of coming out for you."

"Are you sure mom?" Aubrey asked, exchanging a glance with Chloe. The redhead gave a noncommittal shrug, letting the blonde take the lead, willing to support her girlfriend however she wanted. "I don't want to steal your thunder."

"Nonsense." Kate said. "You're my daughter, I'm proud of you Bree, we all are."

"That's right Aubrey." Aubrey's sister's boyfriend Seth spoke up. "No matter what happens, we'll stand by you. And you know Grandma Fitzwallace will too."

"So it's settled then." Dick added. "It's going to be one hell of a party."

"Welcome everyone, thanks for coming to our party." Dick said as everyone gathered around. "It's hard to believe it's been 25 years. Well, almost 25, it's actually Tuesday, but who throws a party on a Tuesday?"

"The boys of Omega Delta Pi" Ray chimed in, earning a laugh from everyone around.

"So I hear." Ray said with a chuckle. "It really means a lot that you're all here celebrating with us."

"It certainly does." Kate added in. "It's been a fantastic 25 years, and we've got so much to show for it. The most important of which are our girls, Janet and Aubrey, and of course Janet's boyfriend Seth and Aubrey's girlfriend Chloe. We've only just met Chloe, but Aubrey, Janet, and Seth have had nothing but great things to say about her. We've got a wonderful family and I couldn't be prouder. Thank you all for being here. Dig in, you go home hungry that's your problem, there's certainly enough food here."

"What's this I hear about you having a girlfriend?" Aubrey's great aunt Deb asked approaching the blonde. "I had no idea you were gay. Are you sure? This is probably just a phase."

"It's not a phase trust me." Aubrey chuckled, drawing strength from Chloe standing near her. "I've been sure for a long time."

"It's not natural." Deb's husband Walt chimed in. "The bible says so."

"The bible says a lot of things." Larissa added "Like a woman turning into a pile of salt."

"Besides, homosexuality is found in plenty of species. I've seen my brother's dog do all kinds of things. Homophobia is only found in one." Emma joined the conversation. "It's a shame I didn't know before now, I'd have had fun teasing you."

"This isn't right." Deb tried again.

"No, what's not right is you turning on your niece for something trivial." Aubrey's grandmother Laura added. "She's the same girl she was yesterday. You liked her yesterday didn't you? Always going on about how smart she is."

"Thank you everyone." Aubrey spoke up, smiling at her grandmother before turning on her great aunt. "I don't need anyone's approval though. I am who I am and I'm going to love who I love, and that's Chloe. What mom said is true, she's amazing, you might find out if you gave her a chance."

"I look forward to it. What are you two doing tomorrow?" Aubrey's grandmother asked. "I'd like to take you two to dinner"

"You don't have to do that Gram." Aubrey said, taking Chloe's hand and giving it a squeeze.

"Nonsense, it's what grandmas do." Laura replied. "Red Lobster sound good?"

"That'd be fantastic, thank you." Chloe smiled.

"Then it's settled." Laura returned her smile. "Welcome to the family."
