I look at the test, with my mouth dropped to the floor. Pregnant. I knew I would get pregnant at some point but now? Why now?! I looked at Miyuki and she frowned at me. I could feel the tears welling and she hugged me.

"Aww, sweetie." I cried into her shoulders. I don't know if their tears of joy or tears of sadness. I mean, I would love to be a mother but I'm terrified to be a mother.

"Miyuki, I'm so scared." She rubbed my back, soothingly.

"I know sweetie. But I have something to tell you. And now is probably the best time to do so. Or maybe not. Not sure." I pull away from her and look at her, wiping my tears.

"What is it?" She sighs and brings my hand to her stomach. It felt hard, like really hard. And I could see a little bump. I look at her and tears was streaming from her eyes as well. "Miyuki, are you...?" She nods.

"I'm pregnant too, Rosa." A smile spread across my face and I hugged her tightly. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks as I celebrate this milestone with my best friend.

"Congratulations baby girl!" She laughed, hugging me back. "How long?"

"A little over 2 months." My mouth dropped. She hid it so well!

"How did you hide it so well?" I asked. She just shrugged, wiping her eyes.

"No idea. But I did a good job I see." I pull away from her and she was glowing. God, I couldn't happier for her.

"Have you told Eric?" She shakes her head.

"Not yet. I was thinking about doing it tonight. I mean, everyone is gathered around right?" She said. I nod.

"I guess so."

"So I think you should tell Jason when I tell Eric and everybody else." I shake my head. "Why not?"

"Because that test could be wrong." She rolls her eyes at me and shows me the test again.

"You know, denial is not just a river in Egypt. Just tell him. It's better to tell him now than later. And everyone is here." I sighed, knowing she was right.

"That's true but how will he take it?" She smiles at me and cups my cheek.

"I think he will love the idea of being a father. Eric told me that he would love to be a father and now he got his wish. But he also wants a big family. I don't know how I feel about that," she tells me.

"How many kids?" I asked.

"He wants at least 4." I shrug my shoulders.

"That's not so bad." She purses her lips at me and gives me a side-eye.

"Says you." I laugh and sigh.

"Do you really think Jason will be happy?" She nods.

"Absolutely. I think he will love you even more." I giggle a little and sigh again.

"Well, I guess we better do it then." She smiles and hugs me again.

"It's going to be okay, sweetie." I nod and we walk out of the restroom, holding hands. Everyone was at the tables, eating and talking. We join everyone at the table and start up a conversation.

-A hour later-

"Now it's time for some family stories. Anything anyone would like to share or announce?" Miyuki looked at me and I sighed. Farrah stood up suddenly.

"I have something to announce." One of the uncles handed her the mike. "As most of you know or have seen, I'm a lesbian. That's never going to change. This is the way I've decided to live my life. I wasn't going to be put in an arranged marriage where I was unhappy and not having a wonderful marriage. If I was going to be married then I would marry the person I loved. And that's this girl right here. I love her with all my might. No one and nothing will ever change it. So you all either accept me for me or leave me alone."
