Chapter 15

Beca's POV

Tonight is the night that I am coming out to my dad, which is why I am currently standing outside of Chloe and Aubrey's apartment. Their place is closer to our dad's house, so it only made sense that I walked over there. I was hoping that the walk would help me clear my head a little and calm my nerves, but I was wrong. I don't think I've ever been this stressed before. I knock and hear someone yell something. After a few seconds the door is opened to reveal Chloe. I watch her slowly take in my appearance and see the shock start to appear on her face.

"You're wearing a dress? I've never seen you wear a dress before." She says, still looking shocked and now with some confusion apparent.

"I thought that maybe my dad will take the news better if I'm wearing a dress and not a flannel. I don't know it's probably stupid." I say nervously.

"It's not stupid Becs!" Chloe quickly adds "You look really good. I was just surprised I've only seen you in pants before."

"Alright Chloe stop hitting on my sister now." Aubrey says as she walks into the room with Stacie following behind her. I notice a slight blush appear on Chloe's face.

"You ready to leave Beca?" Aubrey asks.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Chloe gives me a quick hug, then I follow Aubrey out the door.

"Good luck and have fun!" Chloe calls out after us.

We get into Aubrey's car to make the 20 minute drive to our father's house. Aubrey puts the radio on as background noise to distract us.

"How are you feeling?" Aubrey asks after a few minutes.

"I'm feeling… alright. I'm really nervous about Dad's reaction. I've just been trying to figure out what he's going to say, but I have absolutely no idea, which is scary." I answer.

"I don't know either. I don't know if I've ever heard his opinions on gay people before. I just want to make sure you know that no matter what you will always have me. I'm really glad we've been able to rebuild our relationship these past couple of months. I know I don't say it a lot but I love you." Aubrey reaches over and grabs my hand.

"Thanks Bree. I love you too. Maybe if he reacts badly we won't have to suffer through another awkward Christmas with Sheila's family." I say causing Aubrey to laugh.

The rest of the drive was spent listening to the radio and a random comment about someone's driving by Aubrey. As we get closer I can feel my nerves increasing. As much as I hate my dad sometimes I don't know what I'm going to do if he actually disowns me. Usually I have an idea about how he is going to react to something, but for the first time ever I am completely in the dark about how he is going to react.

A little while later we pull into the driveway of the familiar two story house. We get out of the car and walk up to the door. Aubrey rings the doorbell and suddenly I'm extremely nervous. I can't remember the last time I was this nervous. Our dad opens the door for us and pulls us into a hug.

"I'm so glad you girls could come for dinner. Sheila made lasagna." He says as we walk into the house. We take our shoes off and follow him into the dining room where Sheila is sitting.

"Hi girls. It's so nice of you to come over for dinner." Sheila says offering a small wave from the table.

We sit down and eat our food. The first half of dinner is filled with the usual pleasantries and catching up. I was getting more nervous as time dragged on and I could sense Aubrey was too.

"So Dad?" I hear Aubrey break the silence. "What was it that you wanted to tell us?"

I watch as a smile forms on my dad's face and he reaches over and grabs Sheila's hand.

"Well we wanted to tell you some pretty exciting news!" I'm slightly disturbed by what a good mood my dad is in right now. "We are expecting a baby!" My dad finishes.

I look over at Aubrey. The shock is clearly written on our faces. They've been together for like 6 years, so why are they just doing this now?

"Ummm Congratulations?" Aubrey questions. "Umm if I may ask was this…" She is clearly wondering if this was planned. I can tell she is struggling how to ask it without being rude. Instead of finishing her question though she is just sitting there frantically gesturing with her hands.

"If you're asking if we planned this Aubrey well it's a bit of a complicated answer." Sheila starts. "Your father was always on the fence on having any more kids since he had you two and I was told it was going to be almost impossible for me to get pregnant, so we never really planned on it. So in a way this was an accident, a really happy accident."

"And here I thought that Sheila was just getting fat." I say with my signature smirk. It is kind of true. I did think she was getting fat. I'm also kind of annoyed at this announcement. I never thought that I would be getting a new sibling at 18, almost 19 years old.

We finished eating our meal in silence. It wasn't until after Sheila brought out dessert that my dad interrupted the quiet.

"So Beca, you said that you needed to tell us something. I hope we didn't steal your thunder with our announcement." My dad chuckles.

I sit there staring at my plate and start pushing the food around it. I feel aubrey grab my hand under the table. "Ummm well… I wanted to tell you that ummmm…. I'm.. umm…" I feel Aubrey squeeze my hand for encouragement. "I'm… gay." I stutter out. I still can't bring myself to look up from my plate.

"Alright" I hear my dad say after a few minutes of absolute silence. I slowly look up to see their faces. They aren't showing any emotion.

"Alright?" I echo.

"I don't really know what to say." My dad's face still has no emotion.

"I was expecting you to say something a bit more than alright." I feel myself start to get upset and I'm not sure why. He didn't say he was mad and he isn't acting weird about it, so I don't know what I'm expecting from him.

"I guess I don't really understand Rebeca. What do you want me to do?" I can hear that he is now starting to sound upset.

"I was hoping for an 'It's ok Beca' or an 'I'm glad you told us, don't worry we still love you' or you know something that indicates that you still like me and that you are proud of me." I know that I am almost yelling. I can tell that my dad is pissed now.

"You want me to sit here and tell you that I'm HAPPY that you're gay?! Do you think I want this? You think I'm PROUD of this?!" My father shouts back. I don't know what to even say to that so I just stare back down at my plate trying to hold back the tears that are threatening to spill from my eyes.

"Beca I don't think you are being fair to your father right now. He has done so much for you and you're acting very ungrateful right now." I hear Sheila say.

"I think you should stay out of it Sheila!" I snap. "Just because you have the spawn of satan inside of you doesn't mean you're part of this family!"

"REBECA! That is enough! God, why can't you just be more like your sister?" This causes Aubrey to chuckle. "What do you think is funny about this Aubrey?"

"Well I just think it's funny because we're more alike than you know." Aubrey replies.

"Oh and what is that? Are you planning on dropping out of college to pursue a fake career? Or maybe you are planning on skipping out on classes and needing me to fix it? What about being brought home in a police car? What are you referring to Aubrey? Cuz I don't see any way that you two are alike. You are the daughter I raised you to be and I don't know what happened to her. You can't say it's because of your mother dying because that excuse has an expiration date which ended YEARS ago!" My dad yells.

"I'm dating a girl!" Aubrey shouts at him. I watch his face fall and Sheila looks like she is about to pass out.

"Very funny Aubrey. I know you are just trying to protect your sister, but that's not something to joke about." My dad says sounding slightly calmer.

"Well it's a good thing I'm not joking" Aubrey replies looking like she's ready to puke. It is now my turn to squeeze her hand.

"Aubrey, what are you saying?" My dad still looks really confused even though she already explained it to him.

"I am bisexual and I am dating a girl right now. Her name is Stacie." Aubrey says trying to look serious even though at the mention of Stacie a smile threatens to break free. After a few seconds of processing I watch my dad stand up and storm out of the room.

"I think it would be best if you girls-" I hear Sheila start to say before Bree interrupts.

"We're already leaving!" Aubrey abruptly stands up and heads towards the door and I hurry to follow her.

The drive back was silent, both of us too in shock to say anything. The only time we talked was when Aubrey told me I was spending the night at her and Chloe's place. We made it back to school and walked up to Chloe and Aubrey's apartment. As soon as we get into the door I walk to Chloe's room. The door is open and I see Chloe reading a book on her bed. I knock on the door and see her look up.

"Hey. How'd it go?" She asks sweetly as she sits up and pats the bed next to her.

"Well, she's pregnant." Is all I say as I sit down on the bed. I am still in shock by what happened and am trying to process what it means.

"Who's pregnant?"

"Sheila. Sheila is pregnant." I angrily run my hand through my hair.

"That's… surprising."

"I'm pissed. I don't want another sibling. Hell, I don't want Sheila, but I guess she's here to stay for sure now." Chloe puts her arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer to her. I rest my head on her shoulder.

"How did the rest of the night go?"

"I'm pretty sure my dad disowned us..." I feel a few tears slip from my eyes.

"I'm sure that's not true Becs. Wait what do you mean us?" Chloe asks, looking confused.

"Well when my dad was yelling at me after I came out Aubrey decided to come out in support of me." I say looking up at Chloe the tears starting to flow more freely now.

"Really?!" Chloe looks really surprised. I nod my head and bury my face into her shoulder again. I start to sob now, all of the emotion from the night hitting me at once. Aubrey and I might truly be on our own now.
