    Author Notes:

    Chapter 5 of 5

    "I was a teenager," Tina tried in vain to defend herself. "There were precious few shows where the woman was the main character, so I took what I could get."
    "Oh Tina dear, the number of times I had to fight to get you to wear a dress to a formal event," Anne reminded her. "You’d have thought I was torturing you somehow."
    "I still don’t like wearing dresses," Tina slumped back into her chair and took an uncharacteristically large swig of wine.
    "Actually Tee," Bette corrected her. "You wear dresses quite a bit, but you never wear nylons because…"
    "Bette!" Tina’s interruption was crisp and corrective.
    "What?" Bette replied, confused. "I was going to say L.A. can get so hot you don’t want to wear anything more than you have to."
    The flush in Tina’s cheeks settled back down to a subtle pink glow.
    Tom chuckled as he reminisced. "Tina sweetie, do you remember that beautiful silver chest you made for your mother in shop class?"
    "You took shop class instead of home economics?" Bette asked, barely able to keep the smile from her face.
    "I already knew how to cook," Tina said firmly. "My mother is a professional chef. There was nothing for me to learn in that class."
    "Well, Tina, Bette seems like someone who really has her life figured out," Anne said as she raised her glass in toast. "To family and to happiness, may one always imply the presence of the other."
    "I’ll drink to that," Tom leaned in and touched the rim of his wife’s glass with his own.
    "I’ll drink to just about anything right now," Tina replied, as she joined her parents.
    Bette grinned quietly as she too sipped from her glass.
    **********
    "Why did they have to know before I did?" Tina asked rhetorically as they crawled into bed. "It’s bad enough they knew before I told them, but to know before I did. Honestly, it doesn’t make me feel very self aware."
    "Tee, lots of men and women don’t really recognize some of the subtle things that would lead them to question their sexuality. Don’t take it so seriously."

    6. 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)

    10. 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!

    16. 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!
