"Mom... Dad... Ben..." Xander knew his voice was wavering.
'What if they hate me? What if they kick me out? Where will I go? What will I do?' Xander thought despairingly.
"Xander, spit it out, boy." His father demanded. He wanted to get back to his news, where the hot, blonde news anchor was speaking on mute.
"I have something very important to tell you. I need you to pay attention..." Xander began. His mother knew something important was about to be said, Ben had been playing on his Nintendo DS the entire time, but of course, her husband just had to butt in.
"Please don't tell me you got someone pregnant!"
"What!? NO! Oh my- DAD! What? NO! I don't even have a girlfriend..." Xander implored. Xander's mother shushed her husband and then turned back to Xander, nodding encouragingly.
"Go on Xander..." She urged in her gentle, motherly voice. Immediately, Xander's eyes grew wet with tears.
"Mom... Dad... Ben... I'm..." Xander paused again as his dad sighed annoyed. A tear fell and then he was crying, he couldn't stop and he was so embarrassed. He felt warm hands surround him, his mothers soft hair tickled his nose and he opened his eyes. She was kneeling in front of him, cradling his head to her neck.
"Baby... Sweetie... It's okay. No matter what, I will always love you. No matter what!" She stated. Xander wiped his tears and grabbed his mothers hands from around him. His father, finally, was looking at his upset boy.
"Mom... Dad... I'm... I'm... Gay."
