Stef laughed, but then seeing the look of terror on her daughters face knew it wasn't a joke, "That's not funny Taylor." Taylor looked at the ground and didn't say anything. "Taylor, you are kidding right?" Stef was practically yelling.

Taylor quickly looked to the ground and quietly whispered, "No. I mean...it's not a joke or anything." She kept looking to Lena for help but Lena seemed to just be frozen from the news, like she was conflicted as to what to say. Jesus and Callie walked into the kitchen and Lena regained her voice, "Kids, dinner's not ready yet, why don't you go up stairs? Mom and I have to talk to Taylor." She said calmly motioning the kids out of the kitchen while keeping an eye on a very angry Stef.

"What the hell do you mean? You got engaged?" Stef yelled, "Taylor! You're fifteen for godsake!"

Lena reached for Stef's hand, "Stef, maybe we should talk about this." She tried to sound as pleading as possible. Stef shook her head, "There's nothing to talk about! I can't believe one of our kids really believed that we would allow them to get married!" Stef's laugh sounded uncomfortable but it was the thing that sent Taylor over the edge.

"And you do? You didn't even want to get married, you said you didn't need marriage to prove your love so what do you know about marriage? Do you want me to wait until I almost die before realizing it isn't wrong to love her because I'm still pretty screwed up and don't feel alright doing this, so is that what you want?" Taylor yelled with tears streaming down her face. "I love Abby but I'm so screwed up that I don't even want to be seen holding her hand outside of this house! I figured you of all people would understand why I need to do this Stef!" Taylor turned and ran up the stairs before either of her moms could say a word.

"Stef." Lena tried but Stef had already walked off into the other room. Lena taking a minute to figure out what she wanted to do about the situation, followed Stef into the other room, "Stef we need to figure out what we're going to do about this." Lena calmly stated.

Stef sighed, "I know I shouldn't have reacted like that. But I mean come on she's fifteen Lena."

Lena nodded, "Yeah, she you think I don't realize how young she is Stef? Do you think I'm not a bit angry that she did this without talking to us? But did you hear her Stef? There's a reason she;s rushing it now. There's something in her head still telling her to hate herself and she's doing everything she can to make sure she doesn't hurt anymore. She's trying to reach out to you because she thought that her mom would understand after everything you've been through. So tell me Stef, what are we going to do? Lock her in her room until she's thirty or deal with this?"

Stef was surprised at Lena's reaction, "What are we supposed to do Lena? Am I supposed to be okay with it? Because I don't think I can be okay with it."

Lena sighed sitting down next to Stef, "We're the parents, we have to do what's best for her. And yelling about it isn't going to make her change her mind any, it's gonna make her go behind our backs. So we need to take a breath and listen to her.

Taylor was sobbing into a towel sitting on the bathroom floor so she didn't have to talk to her sisters in her room. Wiping away a few tears she pulled out her phone and dialed Abby's number, closing her eyes she waited for Abby to answer. Before saying a word Taylor heard Abby's voice from the phone, "You told your moms and they didn't take it well." She whisper. Taylor let out a small cry and hung up the phone not having the guts to talk to her girlfriend at the moment. She sat there trying to wipe away the tear marks from her face as she heard a knock on the bathroom door and Lena begging her to open the door.

Silently sitting down Taylor looked to her moms waiting for somebody to say something. Finally after staring at them for a minute she spoke up, "yeah?"

Stef looked to Lena, who nodded encouragingly, "We want Abby's number, so we can call her and have her come over so we can talk this over." As soon as Stef had finished her sentence there was a knock at the door with Abby entering soon after before anyone could answer it.

Abby turned towards where Stef and Lena were standing, "I want to explain." She blurted before noticing that Taylor was sitting right there.

Lena sent Taylor upstairs as Abby had begged her to. Abby sat down on the floor in front of Taylor's moms, "I wanted to ask you before I asked her so you wouldn't have to find out like this but at the wedding I saw how everyone looked, and it was such a wonderful day I don't know what got into me. Taylor will never ask me so I thought now or never. I'm so sorry."

Lena smiled lightly and nodded at the girl, "Abby, you're amazing and I couldn't have hoped for a better girl for Taylor to fall in love with but you're only fifteen. What do your parents say about this? Because on our end we're having trouble understanding how we can let our fifteen year old daughter get married."

Abby looked down at the ground sheepishly, "They might not exactly know. I mean it wasn't like we were going to get married tomorrow I just didn't think there would ever be a time again that I would dare to ask so I asked then and thought I could tell my mom and dad when we were a little older. But I promise you I love your daughter more than I thought was possible for a human to love another. I won't hurt her, and I know she's been hurt in the past, and I know what she's tried to do to herself in the past, but I will help her to smile everyday and know how loved she is. If anyone tries to hurt her, I will protect her. This I can promise to you. So please, let Taylor and I be together. Please."

Taylor stood in front of her moms refusing to sit, Abby had left suddenly and her moms said they need to talk to her. "Can we just talk before I start pacing?" Taylor joked trying to lighten her mood.

Stef nodded and forced her daughter to sit in between her and Lena, "Sweetie, we talked to Abby and we've come to a decision about this so please just hear us out." Taylor nodded mildly so Stef took the chance to continue, "You're so young Taylor, most kids your age are crying about their first loves and first heartbreaks, which is why it's hard to believe that you're ready to get married." Taylor sighed annoyed, Stef shot her a look and continued, "But both of you girls are more mature than most girls your age. You are clearly really like each other."

Taylor smiled nervously, "So you're alright with it?" She questioned looking at each of her moms waiting for an answer.

"No, we're not really okay with it Taylor." Lena answered, "We still believe you're way too young. You have a great connection with Abby and we don't want to end that, but we think you should stick to just dating for now alright? Abby loves you so much, and from the way you look at her we can tell you love her too, so don't rush it alright. We love you Taylor but we can't let you get engaged."

Taylor nodded while looking at the ground, "It's alright, I don't mind really. The thought of gettting married was terrifying me, at least with dating it's a lot less paper work if I screw up then if we got married." She joked. Lena and Stef gave Taylor a quick hug before Stef sent her upstairs, "Now stay in your room for 15 more years because there's no way you're getting married anytime soon." Taylor laughed at her mom. "Thanks mom."
