Quaranteam - Book Two (Ch. 12)

... sleeping together, so we sold you a fantasy. I always thought you'd probably known the truth, but maybe you were that much in denial. I also knew when I started getting involved with Moira that you'd have very complicated feelings about that, me in a long-term relationship with another woman."

"It's... very untraditional, Fiona."

Fiona threw her hands up in frustration, scowling at her mother. "Look around you, mom! Nothing's traditional anymore! And it never will be again! Do you know how much it angers me that you're paranoid of all the people I've ever fallen in love with?"

Ellen's face deepened even more, a complex conflicting set of emotions dueling inside of her. Some mix of shame, embarrassment, anger and frustration, directly not only at Fiona but herself as well. "I only ever wanted what's best for you, Fiona."

"I know, Mom! I get it! But back in college, I was in love with Andy, and all you could ever talk about how unfortunate it was that I couldn't find a good Catholic boy to settle down with! And then when I was in Washington, you were always trying to convince me to marry a cop or a politician. So I couldn't tell you about Moira when we moved in, because Heaven forbid that Ellen Smith's only daughter turn out to be as queer as a three-dollar bill! But we were in love, Mom! We still are! I love her and I love Andy and I love all these other women here! You know what? Fuck it. Let's just spillall the tea. Moira met Andy and I at Julian and Alana's ...

I do! I just believe God wants me to be who and what I am, and to value love when and where I find it. The flaws are in the teachings and the scripture, because sometimes when people are writing down the Word Of God, the message can get a bit jumbled in translation! So, either you can accept us, accept all of us, as a family, or we can all just get up and leave you to it, Mom!"

Ellen's frustration was evident on her face, but it wasn't until she spoke again that Andy realized it was directed inward. "I'm... I'm sorry if I ever made you feel anything but loved Fiona. You're right; it's not fair of me to judge you, or them, and if you're happy, that should be enough for me. No, that isn't good enough. Itis enough for me. I'm... I'm very glad you're happy, and that you reconnected with both Andy and Moira, since it seems like they hold the keys to your heart. I do hope they'll be as careful with your spirit as we tried to be."

Finally, Fiona seemed to smile again, shaking her head. "Well, I'mmarrying them, Mom, ...
