Chapter 7
Sarah's parents got to the door first and were waiting for Sarah to knock,
to their surprise she just opened the door and stepped in.
Grinning, she just said, "I'm family so I don't have to knock." As she sat
her bag down and hung her keys up in the foyer, she yelled, "Steve! Dana!
Girls! We're early!"
From down the hallway they heard a male voice, "I'm in the kitchen!"
Sarah just said, "That's Steve, this way." Then she led her parents down
the hallway into a large dining room, with a large open kitchen on the far
side.
As they walked into the kitchen they found Steve squatting down digging in
the bottom of the refrigerator. As he stood up and turned around, Joan
immediately noticed how attractive he was. Other than the flecks of gray
in his dark hair, Joan would have sworn he was only in his mid 20's, tall
and athletic, but his most striking feature was his devilishly charming
smile. That was made apparent when he saw Sarah and how nice she looked.
"Well hey there you!" he said as he gave Sarah a hug. Her parents noticed
that they both gave each other a kiss on the cheek.
As she hugged him, she asked, "So where are Dana and the girls?"
Letting her go, Steve stepped back and gave a low whistle and grinned.
"Wow, you clean up good Sarah... So gorgeous, where have you been my whole
life?"
Sarah shook her head in frustration. "You're awful... By the way, the
first 4 years of your life I wasn't even born so there... Now where's Dana
and the girls?"
Steve just smirked devilishly at her. "So Ben called me... he said
everything went well... What are you doing giving him and his family
concert tickets? Are you trying to make me look like an asshole since I
never did that when I had your job?"
Both Ben and Joan couldn't help being amused, and started to chuckle.
Sarah just glared at them. "Don't you go encouraging him, he doesn't need
it." Then turning back to Steve whose smirk was just taunting her. "No you
look like you're an asshole because you are one! I don't need to help on
that! Now where's the girls?"
Turning to her parents Steve smiled and said, "Since she won't introduce
you, let me guess... I'm really good at this, hang on just a second." He
paused and rubbed his chin in deep thought for a moment before blurting
out, "I got it! You're Sarah's parents!"
Sarah was definitely showing her frustration, and her parents were trying
really hard not to laugh, so they just nodded yes.
Steve stepped back with a look of amazement. "See I told you... I know
most people don't believe me, but its almost like I have ESPN or
something!" That caused Ben and Joan to start laughing in earnest.
Sarah had enough of his clowning around and quickly grabbed his head and
covering up his mouth, sternly she ordered, "Enough! Are Dana and the
girls here? Nod or shake your head." Looking like a 5-year-old being
scolded, he gently shook his head. Sarah continued, "Will they be back
soon?" He then nodded his head. Triumphantly Sarah asked, "See that wasn't
so hard."
Steve started to shake his head no, but then Joan caught the mischievous
twinkle in his eye about the time Sarah jumped back in surprise. She had
moved beyond frustration, and exclaimed, "You... You!!! You licked me!"
Both Joan and Bill were surprised by her next action, as she punched Steve
in the arm hard.
Steve jumped back rubbing his arm, but still laughing. "Owww!!! You know
what nobody is ever going to complain that you hit like a girl!!!"
Sarah just groaned, "Ugh!!! I've got to go find some disinfectant for my
hand!!!" She then stormed off towards the bathroom.
Steve then turned to her parents, much more seriously and stuck his hand
out. "It's Ben and Joan, right? I'm Steve McMasters, I'm glad you two
could come."
They both shook his hand, surprised by the sudden change in character.
Joan asked, "Was all...that... for our benefit or hers?"
Grinning, Steve told her, "I know she's probably been stressed out today
with... well her surprise visit and everything... She just needed to blow
off some steam... She'll be fine... You know, she actually hits me pretty
often." He laughed at his last comment.
Joan still surprised by their behavior couldn't help but comment, "I have
a feeling a lot of it is deserved."
Smiling Steve answered, "You're probably not wrong with that statement."
Joan started to laugh but then a sad expression crossed her face. "You
know that reminded me a lot of when Sarah... well when her and April were
younger... They fought like cats and dogs, but..." She started to tear up,
and just grabbed Bill's hand and sniffed away the tears trying to force a
smile.
Steve just nodded slowly. "I know it's been hard for you, and her... I'm
so sorry... I had met April several times... Her and Sarah together were
something else..." Both of Sarah's parents just nodded, afraid of saying
anything. Trying to change the subject Steve asked, "Oh where's my
manners, would you two care for a drink? We have beer and wine, your
choice."
Bill opted for a beer and Joan for a glass of wine, they had just sat
around the counter in the kitchen when Sarah came back in wiping her
hands, they heard her mutter "asshole" when she walked by Steve. For a
moment they thought she was still mad, but then noticed the grin on her
face.
Sarah grabbed her a beer and using a towel twisted the top off, as she sat
down she asked once again, "So are you going to tell me where Dana and my
girls are?"
Laughing heartily Steve said, "Okay, Okay Xena... We ran out of cream for
the casserole, so Dana and the girls went to the store, we didn't think
you'd both be here this soon..."
Sarah looked surprised. "What are you doing letting her go with the
girls?! You know this one has been really rough on her! She needs to take
it easy, and not push herself so hard!"
Steve replied, "Look she has been having a really good past few days, she
wanted to go and spend time out with Larissa and Ally... Would you be able
to stop her once she sets her mind to something?"
Leaning back in her chair, Sarah said, "Okay... You have a point there...
She just really needs to be careful is all...I'll fuss at her later, it's
okay when she's mad at me, I don't get all whiney or mopey unlike when
she's mad at someone else..."
Steve grinned. "Thanks I appreciate that..."
While they were curious about why Sarah was worried about Steve's wife,
they were afraid of overstepping any bounds, so they didn't ask. Ben and
Joan had been enjoying watching the back and forth commentary from the two
friends, and that's what they both were she could tell. She had known that
Steve was technically her boss, but it made her feel good that her and her
boss had this kind of relationship. With her curiosity getting the best of
her she had to ask, "So how long have you two known each other?"
Steve and Sarah glanced at each other, Sarah was the first to respond. "It
was when I flew out here for my interview. He's actually the person I
interviewed with."
Steve laughed. "Yeah that was an interesting interview..."
Sarah laughed in response. "Yeah bet you never knew what you were getting
yourself into right?"
Steve smirked. "You could say that again... But please don't..."
Curious, Joan asked Steve, "Had you ever met a transgender person before?"
Steve thought about her question for a moment before answering, "Well no,
I hadn't... Honestly wasn't sure she was though... I mean I had my
suspicions, but I thought she was going the other way..."
At her parents confused expressions Sarah giggled. "I hadn't officially
become Sarah at that point, so Steve interviewed Brian... Well sort of..."
Joan asked, "I thought you had started your transition not too long
after..." She paused, not really wanted to say the words.
Sarah smiled sadly, understanding her mother's pause. "It's okay mom, it's
in the past right?" Joan returned her smile and nodded. Sarah continued,
"I started living as Sarah almost immediately once I got to the Theta
house... I wasn't able to do anything but get hormone blockers though
until I turned 18, and that's when I started hormone therapy..."
Steve again laughed. "Yeah that threw me for quite a loop. Here comes this
young kid named Brian and I could swear that he was a girl trying to
become a boy. I kept thinking, this poor kid will never look like a
guy..."
Sarah fussed, "Dude, you make it sound like I was a child, you do remember
you're only four years older right?"
With mock indignation, Steve said, "Do you mind?!? This is my story!"
Smirking Sarah told him, "Oh sorry Grandpa, you may continue."
Trying to hide his amusement he kept going. "So anyway, before I was so
rudely interrupted... This... Young adult? Is that better? Anyway... I had
just gotten a promotion and was actually going to run my own team, so I
was able to hire my own replacement... So, I had received all these
portfolios and resumes, but one distinctly stuck out. Here was a kid that
had emancipated himself at fifteen, then homeschooled two and a half years
of high school in sixteen months, and then completed his masters at
twenty-two. Not only that, but he had graduated within the top five
percent of his class. Brian Richardson was highly impressive on paper, so
you can imagine my surprise when she walked in with a guy's name."
Both Ben and Joan looked at Sarah obviously impressed with their daughter.
"So, was that when you found out?"
Steve laughed and shook his head no. "I didn't find out till almost two
years later... Her records didn't ever indicate there was a gender change,
so I couldn't ask..."
Bill finally spoke up, "Even if you had the direction she was headed
wrong, you still hired her though? That says a lot about you Steve, I wish
we had been... uh... better..."
Steve just nodded solemnly. "Well Sarah... err Brian... Dammit this is
confusing even for me to try to tell this... Anyway, SHE was leaps and
bounds ahead of any competition in the applicants... So, I hired her...
Besides it didn't really matter if she was trans or not, this is Seattle."
Joan was really enjoying hearing about how well Sarah had done, and asked,
"So how did you two hit it off as friends?"
Sarah laughed. "It was awkward at first to say the least..."
Steve smiled. "Just a bit... Sarah had such a drive at work... She was
making me look bad, so it forced me to step up my game... When we started
our first project she was logging way more hours that I was for the first
week or two, then afraid that she was going to take my job I started to
try to log in at least as much as she did... I thought it was the right
thing to do seeing that I was supposed to be in charge..."
Sara teased, "You were just afraid of the newbie making you look bad."
Grinning he replied, "Maybe... Anyway... We started working a lot of hours
together... The other two senior members of the team... They just weren't
as dedicated... So we ended up finding we had a lot of different things in
common, we had a similar sense of humor, and other than the gender issue,
we had a lot of similar life experiences, and our friendship just took
off... Before the end of the first project the two other members of the
team had quit..."
Sarah uttered, "Because they were weirded out by me..."
Steve exclaimed, "Stop going there okay... That was their problem, besides
I wouldn't trade a hundred of them for one of you... You worked circles
around both of them..."
About that time the garage door started to open, startling them from the
conversation. Steve grinned and said, "That will mean Dana and the girls
are back." He stood up and went to the side door that was attached to the
kitchen to surprise his daughters.
A few short moments later the door burst open and two small blonde bundles
of energy burst in and ran completely around Steve, both of them yelling,
"SARAH!!!"
By the time he spun around he saw both young girls already in Sarah's lap,
doing his best to look hurt he uttered, "Hey!!!"
Sarah laughed as she was listening to the girls who hadn't stopped trying
to both tell her everything at once, she said, "I've got this, go tend to
your wife." Steve just shook his head as he turned to go to the garage.
Joan's heart began to melt watching the two young girls chattering on
Sarah's lap. Both her and Bill noticed that the stress that had been
apparent within her quickly melting away as she was paying attention to
the girls.
The bigger of the two, Larissa, whined, "We missed you, we haven't seen
you in forever!!!"
Smiling at her Sarah responded, "Baby I was here just last Monday..."
Larissa just agreed with her, sort of. "I know!!! Forever!!!"
Ally started in next, and both young girls were so excited they were
talking a million miles an hour. Joan was impressed how Sarah seemed to
pay attention to both of them and continue in both conversations as well
as she was. As the chattering was going on, both of Sarah's parents
noticed a very tired, and very pregnant brunette walking into the kitchen
with Steve carrying some bags and simultaneously helping her to a chair.
Before she sat down she leaned over and gave Sarah a hug and a kiss on the
cheek.
Dana asked her softly, "You doing okay?" Sarah just smiled and nodded.
With Sarah completely engaged with the girl's conversation Steve took over
introductions of Bill and Joan. Dana was polite, which actually surprised
both Sarah and Steve. She had been every bit as angry as April had been,
at least before she had gotten sick.
After several minutes of small talk, Dana looked at Larissa and asked,
"Rissa have you told Sarah about your new comforter?" Little Larissa's
eyes lit up, as well as Ally's.
Larissa stood up and grabbed Sarah's hand and just said, "Cmon you have to
see!!! It's Ariel!!!"
Sarah tried to politely refuse but at this point both Larissa and Ally
each had a hand and was tugging, both pleaded, "Please come and see,
please!!!" Everyone else was trying to hide their amusement at Sarah's
feeble attempts to dissuade the girls.
She told the group "Okay guess I have to go, Ill be back in a few
minutes... Play nice Dana okay..." Dana just smiled and nodded.
No sooner did Sarah get out of earshot did Dana look at Bill and Joan.
"She's gone for a minimum of fifteen minutes... First off I want to tell
you how sorry I am about April... She was a very close friend." She paused
for a second to wipe her eyes. "I do want to say that I'm actually
pleasantly surprised you are here... I honestly didn't think you'd
come..."
Bill looking confused. "Wait, you knew we were supposed to come? How?"
Joan just uttered, "April... She told you... You were her friend that she
told us about..."
Grimly Dana nodded. "I take it April told you about what had happened the
night she was supposed to meet you."
Both Bill and Joan nodded, Bill sadly said, "Yeah she did... It was only
the second weekend since you all had rescued her..."
Dana nodded. "That sounds right... April was so angry at you two she was
going to let you stew for a while, before letting you know what was going
on... By the way, I haven't told Sarah yet... I know I was supposed to,
but I honestly didn't expect you to show... Sorry... I will tell her
before she goes home tonight though...
Joan and Bill both echoed, "Thank you..."
Chapter 8
Sarah was afraid of what she would find, as she finally made her way back
downstairs after Larissa and Ally calmed down enough for her to rejoin the
adults. Almost twenty-five minutes had passed since she had been dragged
away by the two small girls. Over the years, Dana had shared the same
anger as April towards her parents, so World War III was entirely a
possibility. Even though she hadn't heard any commotion from downstairs, a
part of her was hoping that Dana had exploded at them, then another part
of her was hoping they were getting along. The mixed emotions had Sarah
extremely confused, especially the latter of the two. These were the
people that had discarded her and had spent the last twenty decades
seemingly not caring about her, so why was she still kind of hoping that
they stuck around...
Walking into the kitchen, she had prepared herself to find just Steve and
Dana after they had upset her parents enough to leave. Finding her mother
preparing the broccoli casserole with Dana sitting in one of the stools by
the island was the last thing she had expected.
Glancing up at her, Dana smiled. "So I see that you finally escaped the
girls?"
Sarah couldn't help but giggle. "That's probably an accurate way to put
it, they had to show me all their new stuff as well as things they've
shown me before. So, where's Steve and Dad?"
Joan started laughing, while Dana grinned and said, "Your Dad was going to
go out and help Steve with the grill... When he found out that we were out
of charcoal and that Steve was just going to use the gas grill it sparked
a small argument... He complained that you couldn't properly grill ribeyes
with gas, or without a proper marinade, so he sort of took over. So, he
made up something the steaks are sitting in and him and Steve took off to
the store for some charcoals..."
Worried that her dad had overstepped being a guest, Sarah asked, "So is
Steve mad?"
Dana laughed. "Not at all, he's getting out of grill duties and it lets
him just watch and drink more beer. Besides, that marinade smells pretty
good, I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out."
Sarah smiled. "Well Dad always made the best steaks..." Then she trailed
off remembering just how long it had been since she had eaten any of
either of her parents cooking..."
Joan spoke up, "Sarah are you okay?"
Realizing she had gotten lost in her thoughts she looked up at Dana and
Joan and tried to smile. "Yeah, I'm okay... I just remembered how I
thought I'd never be able to have one of Dad's steaks again... It just
caught me off guard I guess." Both Joan and Dana gave Sarah some sad
smiles, Sarah instead tried to change the subject. "So what can I do to
help out?"
Dana told her that Joan was doing the broccoli casserole and directed
Sarah to start on the scalloped potatoes, and shortly Sarah was side by
side with her mother as they started preparing the two side dishes. Sarah
had just finished slicing the potatoes when Bill and Steve walked in with
a large bag of charcoal and were both in a good mood and appeared to be
joking around with each other. The boys only stayed in the kitchen long
enough for Steve to grab two fresh beers from the fridge and headed
outside to 'start' the grill.
The preparation had only taken about fifteen minutes and the girls soon
found themselves sitting around the kitchen table, Sarah and her Mom each
with a glass of wine with Dana and her green tea looking wistfully at the
wine. They had spent that time with small talk, but after her second glass
Joan couldn't help her curiosity.
"Sarah... I hope you don't mind... Would you mind telling me what... I
mean how you... I'm sorry I don't know how to ask this...", Joan stumbled.
"You mean how I transitioned?" Sarah asked slightly amused. The mix of
emotions were still bothering her, she was both glad her mom was
uncomfortable, but also felt some remorse for feeling that way.
Joan nodded. "Yes, I just didn't want to broach the subject in case you
were uncomfortable talking about it."
The remorse Sarah was feeling intensified, here she was partially enjoying
watching her mother squirm, while it appeared Joan was still worrying
about upsetting her. She smiled slightly. "I'm okay talking about it... I
mean I don't yell it off the rooftops, but almost everyone in my life
knows I used to be a... Well that I was Brian."
Joan smiled and reached over the table to gently squeeze Sarah's hand.
"I'm just so amazed how well you've done... I don't mean becoming a
girl... Well that is amazing, but..." Joan stopped to take a few deep
breaths to straighten out her thoughts and to try to keep from looking
like a bumbling idiot. "Everything that you've done, your job, friends,
and yes becoming a girl is amazing... You are a beautiful young lady..."
Slightly blushing from the compliment, Sarah responded, "Thank you... I
don't really know where to start... I mean I quit being Brian that night
in the Sorority, legally I was still Brian, but with the support of the
girls I became Sarah pretty much full time. The first few weeks I felt
like their grown-up Barbie doll..." Sarah couldn't help but laugh at that
memory.
Dana joined in the laughter. "That's a good way to put it, you were
slender enough about half the house were giving you their old clothes that
they had quit wearing. The girls who weren't a close enough size to you
even went out and started bringing you a bunch of stuff from their thrift
store sprees."
Giggling Sarah said, "I think by the second month we had to convince them
to stop, I had more clothes than most of the other sisters."
Surprised Sarah had stayed so long at the sorority. "Second month? How
long did you stay there?"
Dana took over. "Well at first we kind of had to hide her, being off
campus gave us a bit of leeway... None of us wanted to kick Sarah out, but
after the third week of her living on the couch of the common room April
had started looking for a part time job and a small apartment... Sarah had
even offered to forgo school, so she could work to support them, which
April chewed her out for... It was also that time that one of the
professors in the Psychology building agreed to see her pro-bono after
April had pled her case..."
Joan just nodded sadly, being reminded of their actions. Softly she said,
"So once you got the official diagnosis you were able to stay?"
Sarah squeezed her mothers hand trying to let her know it was okay. "That
took a few months of sessions, but no... They had been hiding me out for
almost a full month, when they offered me a job... That's what let me stay
there."
Surprised Joan asked, "What kind of a job?"
Dana replied, "We offered her a position of a live-in handyman... Our
house was old and constantly needing repairs, so we actually had that in
our monthly budget... By the time we got the alumni informed of our
intentions, Sarah had actually saved us several hundred dollars in just a
few weeks..."
Looking at Sarah, Joan asked, "What were you doing?"
Sarah answered, "Well the first week I was there, the shower drain got
plugged... Imagine 18 girls in one house, with most having long hair...
That was a normal job for me... Then I replaced a few electrical outlets
and switches... I guess growing up with a shop, and auto shop instructor
and also a Home Ec teacher paid off..."
Dana took over. "So after the house agreed, we used the repair budget to
pay her. While it wasn't a big room, we even cleaned out a storage room
and gave her a bedroom... It wasn't much, after all the budget was only
$500 a month, but not bad for a fifteen-year-old including lodging... Once
we found out she could cook, she didn't even have to chip in for the
weekly grocery bill..."
Sarah smiled. "It was better than anything else I could have hoped for...
My room wasn't that big, but definitely cozy. That and you all helped me
finish my high school diploma in record time... That and all the help you
all gave me on my ACT and SAT's..."
Joan asked, "So you lived in the sorority the whole time?" Sarah just
smiled and nodded. Joan continued, "We were led to believe that a family
took you in..."
Glancing over at Dana, Sarah just said, "A family did take me in Mom...
Every single Theta became my sister..."
Dana smiled. "You are the best little sister I could have ever hoped for
Sarah."
Joan asked, "So when did you start, I guess actively transitioning?"
Sarah thought for a moment. "Well I didn't get my diagnosis for like three
months, but even though Dr. Summers was seeing me pro bono, I couldn't get
any medicines until after Dana and her mom helped me get emancipated. Even
then until I was eighteen the best I could do was blockers to limit the
effects of the testosterone... Even with a full academic scholarship, I
took a few student loans out, to get a car, and for my meds... I was
twenty-one when I was able to get my orchiectomy..."
Joan just sadly said, "Oh... You had them removed? I've read that some
trans people elect to not have... that surgery..."
Wondering why that had upset her mother, Sarahs first thought was one of
frustration. She was thinking that her mother was about to disapprove of
her being whole, so was a bit snippy when she responded, "Yes I did
Mother... I had my final surgery nine years ago also..."
Not understanding how she had upset Sarah, Joan tried to apologize, "Sarah
I'm sorry I wasn't trying to upset you... I just didn't know... With April
gone, and then watching you with Dana's daughters I just thought..."
Sarah still slightly upset. "What did you think?"
Joan did her best not to cry, the last thing she was trying to do was to
anger her daughter anymore than she had already today. "I was thinking of
how wonderful of a mother you would be... Please don't be mad at an old
woman still hoping for grandchildren one day..."
Understanding now why her mother was curious did soften her anger a bit,
Sarah glanced nervously at Dana not really wanted to go down this line of
questioning. Trying not to give away anything she wasn't ready for her
mother to know she said, "Oh... Well if I ever meet someone, or even if I
don't I can still adopt..."
Dana stated feeling slightly guilty at both Sarah's and Joan's
frustration, so she decided to try to alleviate Joan's worry and told her,
"Before she had that done though, I was able to talk about storing her
sperm... So there still might be hope for you..." That caused Sarah to
glare at her friend. Grimacing Dana continued, "Besides shes already the
Godmother of our girls... They love her just as much as us, even Ben's
girls love her... You're right though, she will make a great mother one
day."
That had alleviated some of the worry from Joan, even though Sarah was
still slightly upset that Dana had volunteered that much. Before they
could change the subject to something else, Steve and Bill came in to get
the steaks out of the refrigerator when they noticed the tense expressions
on the three ladies.
Steve asked, "Is everything okay in here? Bill was just schooling me on
the proper way to cook a steak... Why didn't you ever tell me I didn't
know what I was doing?"
That caused Sarah to laugh at her friend. "You dork, I tell you that
almost every day, its just you never listen..."
Clutching his hand over his heart, he said with as much indignation as he
could, "That just hurt young lady... Besides that's what you say at work,
you've never said it about my cooking before..."
Giggling at his antics, Sarah said, "Hey free food is free food... I'm
going to go upstairs and check on the girls for a bit, I be back down in a
few." She didn't wait for anyone's confirmation, she actually needed some
time away from all of this. Spending time with her Goddaughters always
helped put things into perspective.
Dana, knowing she upset Sarah, just looked worriedly at her husband trying
to convey her concern. Steve just nodded, then looked at Bill and said,
"Hey why don't you show Joan the back yard a bit, the fresh air might do
you some good."
Bill wanting to talk to his wife to figure out what had happened agreed
and gently took her hand as he led her outside.
Steve softly asked his wife, "What the hell happened? I thought things
were going pretty good."
Dana shrugged her shoulders. "I don't exactly know... There's so much that
neither of them know... I think I told Joan some information that Sarah
didn't want her to know... Joan was worried about having grandkids... So,
I told her that I had convinced Sarah to have her sperm stored..."
Steve understanding now why Sarah was upset, asked, "Did you tell them
everything?"
Dana shook her head. "No I didn't... But I really want to... They deserve
to know the truth..."
Steve sighed. "You're right, they do... Sarah is not going to be happy
with us if we do tell them..."
Dana slightly bowed her head and muttered, "I know... She's already going
to hate me for what April and I did, but it's some thing I have to do...
I've wronged all three of them..."
Steve just gently gave his wife a hug as she softly cried on his shoulder,
he gently told her, "Look I know Sarah, she'll forgive you... You both
thought you were doing the right thing, she'll understand that..."
