It was years later and it was 10 years later and it was 3pm. Bella was waiting outside of Maisie's secondary school in the car as the students started to come out in groups. Bella kept an eye out as Harry called her "Hello?" "Hey beautiful, you waiting for Maisie?" "Yeah, she hasn't come out yet." "She is at a mixed school, baby." "I know, Harry, but you know, being married for 12 years with a daughter." "Yeah, you're true, we did risk getting married at 19 years old, but we thought we wouldn't have made it for 5 years, instead we've made it for 12." "Yeah." Bella looked back outside, "I see her, I'll see you when I get home." "Alright, tea and hot chocolate will be on the go." "Thank you." The two hung up the phone.
Maisie came to the car, getting in the car, buckling in, putting her bag down "How was school, lovely?" "School was okay." "Just okay? You sure?" "Can we just go home, mum? I need to talk to you and dad." "Of course, let's go." Bella drove off whilst her daughter kept looking out of the window.
5 minutes later, Bella pulled up in the driveway of the house, and Maisie got out of the car, getting her bag, walking up to the door. Bella got to the door, unlocking the door. The two walked in together and the older blonde female closed the door as Maisie walked inside after taking off of her shoes. Bella walked upstairs to where Harry was in their bedroom working. She walked up to him and placed a kiss to his forehead, "Maisie wants to speak to the both of us." "What about?" "I don't know, Harry. Let's go downstairs, and we'll see what she needs." Harry closed his laptop and walked downstairs to the living room with Bella. They got into the living room, sitting on the sofa whilst Maisie came in from the kitchen and into the middle between her parents.
Bella looked over at her daughter and at her husband, "I have something that I need to tell you, because I've felt like I needed to keep it a secret for a long time. I feel ready to talk to you about it now. Ever since I turned 14 years old, I've known that I'm a lesbian." Harry looked at Bella and Maisie "Darling, you know it's okay and me and your mum support you all the way," "Yeah, baby, we do." Maisie nodded and her parents wrapped her up and into their arms. Maisie put both arms around them, "What made you think we'd be mad?" Maisie shrugged her shoulders "We're not, lovely." "Okay." Maisie arose from the sofa and she walked upstairs to her bedroom. Harry got up, walking over to Bella who was looking out of the window with tears in her eyes.
Harry knelt down, and took her hands. Bella took his hands "Babe, what's up?" "I wasn't expecting this." "Me either beautiful." Bella got up, walking in the kitchen and outside to the garden. She sat down on the swing, looking at the sky. Harry sat beside her and placed a hand on her lower back, "Are you sure everything's okay in here?" Harry reached up to her heart "Everything's fine here, I promise. It was a massive shock that Maisie came out to us." "I know, it shocked me too." Bella nodded. Maisie came downstairs in dark green cargos and a black long sleeved crop top. She walked outside where her parents were "Feel better to be out of your uniform?" "Yeah. Uniform isn't comfortable." "I bet it isn't. I hated my school uniform, so did your father." "Hey, don't expose me like that!" Harry got up as Bella saw his fingers coming closer to under her chin to tickle her.
She let out a squeal and ran inside "Harry, we keep the tickles for when Maisie's at school." "No, not today, Bella." Bella ran upstairs to the bedroom and closed the door. Maisie ran into her parents room, closing the door, leaning against it, "Is he trying to tickle you?" "Yeah, I'm out of breath." Bella got up, walking up to her daughter, and sat on the bed. "Honey, are you okay?" "I'm okay, mum," "Are you talking to any girls at the moment?" "Yeah, I am." "What's this girl's name?" "Kaci." "Do you like her?" "I really do." "Ask her out." "I don't know how to." "Go and get me your phone." "Mum, no." Harry came upstairs "What's going on?" "Maisie's got a crush on a girl." "Who?" "Dad, stop it." Maisie sat on the bed with her mum and her dad.
Maisie got up, walking in her room, getting her phone, walking in her parents room, sitting back on the bed, unlocking it, getting Kaci's number up from messages. Bella took her phone out of her hand, "Mum, no, please." "I'm not doing anything." "You're going to message her, mum." "I'm not, sweetheart." Maisie nodded, taking her phone from her mum's hands. "I was going to ask her if she wants to come round tomorrow afternoon as it's Saturday tomorrow." "Of course, go ahead. Are you going to message or call her?" "Call her in my bedroom." "Go ahead, do you want anything for a snack?" "I'm okay, thank you though, dad." Harry nodded his head.
Maisie got up, walking into her bedroom, sitting on her bed, and called the girl who she liked "Maisie?" "Kaci." "What's up? Is everything okay?" "I'm okay, will your parents allow you to come round tomorrow?" "I'll ask my mum and dad, are you parents okay with it?" "Yeah, I just need to talk to you." "Yeah?" "Do you like anyone at the moment?" "I do, Maisie. I like a girl, why?" "What is she like?" "Well, she's smart, she's adorable, she's blonde." "Anything else?" "Will you be my girlfriend?" "Kace, of course I will." Bella peeped her head into the door and Maisie gave a little smile. "Sorry, my mum just peeped her head in." "It's okay, Maisie." Bella came into her daughter's room, "You want anything honey?" "Can you make me some tea please?" "Of course, what milk?" "Oat please mum." Bella nodded, "Sorry about that, Kaci." "No worries, it's okay Maisie." Bella walked out of the room, and walked downstairs to the kitchen.
Harry walked in the living room as Bella was coming downstairs, "How is she?" "She wants a cup of tea with oat milk." "I'll do it, do you want one?" "Yes please." Bella sat at the kitchen table, as Harry came over and leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. Bella pulled back, "I think Kaci and Maisie are together." "What makes you think so?" "They're giggling and when I was walking upstairs I heard Maisie say yes to something." "They're definitely together." Harry walked upstairs to his daughter's room "Hey darling." "Hi dad." "Put the call on mute for a minute." Maisie put the call on mute "Yeah?" "Are you and Kaci together?" "Why are you asking?" "I'm your dad, I need to ask this stuff." "No." "Darling, tell me what's going on." "Dad, you can't tell mum." "I won't tell your mother, it'll stay between us." Harry sat on the bed, "It's okay if you and Kaci are dating. I won't be mad, neither will your mother." "Okay." Bella came into the room with her cup of tea and put it on her bedside table.
The eldest blonde female sat on the bed "What's going on?" "Maisie needs to tell us something." "Okay." Maisie leaned against her wall by her fairy lights, and turned them on to make it better to relax herself instead of panicking to tell her parents she had a girlfriend. "So, what do you need to tell us?" "I've got a girlfriend." "You've got a girlfriend? Who?" "Kaci." Bella gave her a look of surprise, "Oh okay, sweetheart." Bella looked at Harry, "Maisie, you there?" Maisie heard Kaci's voice, and took it off mute "Sorry, I'm talking to my parents." "That's okay, I just spoke to my parents, I can come tomorrow." Maisie smiled, and a hot blush came onto her cheeks, "I need to go downstairs as my parents want to speak to me, but I will speak to you later on." "Okay, speak to you later." The two hung up the phone, and Maisie put her phone on the bed.
Bella smiled at her daughter, "Is she Irish?" "Yeah, she's Irish and Ginger." "That completes it then." "It does." Maisie got up, walking in the bathroom. Bella walked into her bedroom with Harry and sat on the bed as Harry came in the bedroom, closing the door, sitting with her on the bed.
It was the next morning, and Bella awoke at 9:45am to Harry who was out of bed. Maisie came into her mum's bedroom "Good morning, honey." "Morning mum." "Did you sleep well, my darling?" "Yeah." Maisie sat on her mum's bed but on Harry's side of the bed, and Bella pushed her pillows up so she could lean against them. Harry came in and sat on the edge of the bed and smiled down at Bella who was in a relaxed state with her daughter and husband by her side keeping her safe.
