Story written on October 19, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
Bette walked down the porch steps to greet them as they drove up to the house. Tina was driving, her Dad was in the front passenger seat and her mom was in the back seat. Tina popped the trunk as she pulled into the driveway. Bette took her cue and went to pull out their suitcases. In her mind she was avoiding any awkward ‘should we hug or not’ moment, by being occupied with the baggage. Tina called out introductions as Bette lifted the trunk of her car open and pulled out the first bag within reach.
"Don’t worry about it mom, Bette already has yours," Tina said. "She can take it and show Dad where to put his things."
"Well Tina, you know I don’t like to feel as though people are waiting on me." Anne Kennard was a proud and capable woman, rarely at a loss for an opinion and always able to take care of herself.
"It’s your holiday mom," Tina said with a sigh. "Let us do some of the little things for you, okay?"
"My little girl, all grown up," Anne said with a mixture of joy and sadness.
"She’s her daddy’s little girl," said Tom Kennard decisively. "And I don’t care what kind of movie development big shot she is, she’s always going to be her daddy’s little girl."
Bette smiled in spite of herself. She always suspected that Tina’s natural level of confidence stemmed from a nurturing and supportive upbringing, and this brief interaction served to confirm her suspicions.
"Follow me Mr. Kennard," Bette said as she motioned toward the front steps. "I’ll show you where your room is."
"No need to be so formal Bette," he said jovially. "Please call me Tom."
"Okay I will," Bette replied with a smile that invariably won a lot of people over. She had always been taught by a very formal Melvin Porter to address her elders with their title unless invited to do otherwise. She pushed the door open and strode to the spare bedroom to place Anne’s bag on the small table that was just inside.
"This is a nice place," Tom commented as he entered. "Good use of space. Nice and open. The detail is just enough to add to it rather than distract from the design."

Swimmie, that was a wonderful ending to a great story.Thanks for sharing and looking forward to another wonderful story from you. Have a great weekend.
Just wonderful. More, please
Lovely. Simply lovely I have no ha either words.
Absolutely loved the story!! Thank you so much!!
Oh yeah 😉👍
Okay that a refreshing change. Not all coming out stories are rife with sturm und drang. To many parents credit, more of than not they already “know” before their kid tells them (mine sure did). BTW, loved your A-list of “you know you’re a lesbian when…” but you left out PE and the gym teacher Swimmie ;0) Any way, thanks for sharing this well written series! Looking forward to whatever else you have in store :0)
That was funny and awesome, love it. Happy for them, thanks for sharing this story with us!
That was great!
Why did they have to know before I did?” Tina asked – lol – thanks again
What a wonderful turnabout coming out story! In all of fanficdom, I’ve never seen more savvy parents. They truly know and love their daughter for who she is. Tina was blessed with perfect parents!(and a very good author) Thank you!
What’s better than freedom to be oneself? What a nice story. Thanks.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all parents were so accepting of their children’s sexual orientation. Great story JKS! I’m looking forward, as always, to more of your talented tales. Thanks!
At some point I just couldn’t read fast enough! “..blessed to be accepted..” A blessing indeed!
