Not What I Expected (Dinah/You)

Chapter 35

Dinah's POV

      I walk back in the house and her parents fall upon me. I feel her father's glare on me. "How can someone as pretty as you date another female? That's disgusting." Her father says to me. I shake my head and look at him. "I didn't ask for your opinion on who I can and can't date. My parents know of my choice and accepts me for it. They actually love your daughter." I say as I walk towards Normani standing next to her.
"Love her? How could they?" He asks. So this is where her slow side comes from. "They love her because of who she is not because of who she isn't. Just like the rest of us. We love her because she's proud of who she is. How are you a man when you can't even realize that your talking about your own child?" Lauren says as she gets up from the couch. "That isn't my child. Ashley is my child."
"Alright I'm sick of it!" We hear her mother yell. "What are you sick of Barbara?"
"You! You talk down our own child! I remember when you were so proud to call her your daughter from every basketball game when she was four until she told us she was gay. I never wanted to kick her out but you, you wanted to kick her out. I didn't want to kick her out because either way she was still my child." Her mother says as she starts crying. "You told her when she was eight which and whoever she chooses to love you would support her so where is the support?When you beat on her after she told you, you wasn't the one to hear cries for help. I was. You wasn't the one that comforted her after her. I was. I don't regret having Ashley but you got me pregnant without my consent because you wanted to replace her. You drew Ayana away from us and drew Y/N away from us. I can't keep doing this anymore. We're done and I'm taking my daughter with me." She says as she runs upstairs and mama Drea following after her.
       Normani runs up on him and starts sending him blows to wherever she can. Normani's dad comes through the door and sees the scene and goes to take Normani off of him. Lauren grabs her and hold her back. "You beat her!? And you basically raped my aunt?"
      The door opens and Y/N comes in through the door holding Cheylise in her hands. "Hey Dinah, Chey kept cry-. What happened? And why is Normani crying?" She puts Chey down and Chey runs to me. I pick her up holding her on my hip. Y/N bust out laughing seeing her father on the floor. "Damn Micheal you got your ass beat. Who fucked you up?" She says between laughs.  He looks at her with a glare. "Normani what happened? Why are you crying?" She says as she steps over him walking over to her. "Why didn't you tell us that he beat on you? And he raped her." Y/N looked confused.
"Raped who? I know not me." "Your mother. That's how Ashley came about." Y/N looked at her shocked and pissed off. She turned around and looked at him. She balled up her fist. "I'm giving you till the time that I come back downstairs to be out this damn house. Don't go back there and get my sister. Just leave this house or it will be the second time you got your ass beat by a female." She says through gritted teeth. He chuckles and gets up. "Your not a female if you have a dick." I walk out the living room to the backyard with Camila and Chey not wanting Chey to see the outcome.
       Y/N gets overly upset when someone claims she's not a female because she has a dick. We walk outside and Ashley looks at us and gets off of the swing running towards us. "Hi I'm Ashley. I'm four." She says as she holds up four fingers. I put Cheylise down and she walks towards Ashley. "I Cheylise. I two." Ashley waves at her and looks at me and Mila. "I'm Dinah and this my best friend Camila." Mila waves at her and Ashley waves back.

Y/N POV
 
       I walk into the guest room that I was supposed to be staying in and see my birth giver and aunt on the bed. My aunt comforting the woman I once called mother. Even though I'm upset about her kicking me out she's still gave birth to me and I will always care for her. No woman or man deserves to be raped under any circumstances.
       I sit on the bed on the other side of her. "Why didn't you tell anybody that he had raped you? You could've gotten him locked up." I say as I look at her. She looks at me and wipes her tears with the tissue in her hand. "He threatened me that he would take Ashley away from me. He's been beating on me too. Sometimes in front of Ashley because I would always bring you and Ayana up." I looked at her confused. Something ain't right about all of this. "Why would you bring up me and Ayana when you both were the ones that kicked us both out? Then on top you guys beat Ayana."  I asked her.
"I didn't want to kick any of you out. I didn't want to kick you out. I've always been okay with you being gay. I love you for you. Your my child I don't care about who you love as long as your happy then I'm happy. He beat up Ayana. He was the one that made the choices of kicking you two out. I wanted you both there because you guys are my kids and I love you guys with everything in me." She let's out a sob and sniffles.
"I looked for you after you left, but as you know Los Angeles is a big city. I didn't know where to start. Your father has been beating on me since he found out I was pregnant with you. You guys never noticed but he always did it when you guys weren't home. It kept happening even after you left. He told me that if I didn't go along with you getting kicked out then he would start beating on Ayana and Gabe. I couldn't allow that to happen. I already lost you I couldn't lose them too." She finishes.
       For the first time in about five years I hug my mother. The only thing I wanted from my parents was why. Why did they kicked me out? Now that I heard it from my mother I don't think I can trust her all the way but I can definitely forgive her. I understand why she had to do some things. To be honest everything made sense now. Like why she was so quiet when he kicked me out. She never said a word but she looked at me with regret through the window when I came home. Or when we were younger she would always do what he said. Or the fact that I would hear screams coming from their room at night.
       To know that she went looking for me let's me know that she did care. She was the first one that I told that I was gay and she was fine with it then. Then she wasn't fine with it out of the blue. "I forgive you. I understand that you had to make the best choices for us. Right now in my life, I thank him for kicking me out. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have my daughter and I probably wouldn't have met the love of my life. I can't trust you but just know that we can fix that. There's nothing more than I want than to have you in mine and Chey's life." I say as I pull back from the hug and smile at her. "I love you mom. As much as I hated you guys for kicking me out I still love you because you was the one that brought me into this world." I say as I wipe the tears I didn't know was falling.
"I love you too Y/N I always have." I hug her again and she does the same. "You know you still would've met Dinah. She still would've been part of Fifth Harmony."  Aunt Drea says. She laughs and so does my mom and I. "Way to ruin the moment Auntie Drea. " she shrugs her shoulders and my mom and I laugh.
         We hear the door creak open and we see two small figures walk in the room. Ashley and Cheylise walk to us. "Mommy." "Mama." Ashley walks to my mom while Cheylise walks to me. I pick her up and sit her on my lap. "Ashley I want you to meet someone. This is your sister Y/N." I wave at her and she waves back. "Hi Ashley. I'm your older sister. How old are you?" Ashley holds up four fingers. "Wow! Your such a big girl!" She smiles and nods her head. "I can tie my own shoes and zipper my jacket all by myself. Mommy says only big girls can do it." Ashley states. "Mommy is right. Only big girls can do that. Ashley this is Cheylise. She's only two so she's not a big girl like you yet but she will be. She's your niece." She tilts her head and raises her eyebrow. She reminds me of myself. I'd always used to do that even at that age. "What's a niece?" "Well since I'm your sister like Ayana and I have a kid. My child to you would be your niece." I try to explain to a four year old.
     She nods her head, I think understanding what I said . "Auntie can I have ice cream please?" She asks. "Yeah go ask Normani to help you." She nods her head. She walks out the door down the hall. "Normani auntie says to get me ice cream!" She yells. "Little girl if you don't stop yelling in my house." I laugh she's definitely me when I was younger. I turn towards my mother with Chey still on my lap. "Baby girl this is your abuela. This is my mommy. Say hi." "Hi buela." She says shyly. "She looks just like you. Hi Cheylise. Is that her mother downstairs?"
      I laugh. "No. She's uh back in LA." "Tell her who the mother is." My aunt says. "Snitch." I mumble. She hits me on the back of my head and Chey laughs. " a stripper named Diamond but her real name is Melanie. I met her at a party. I was drunk." My mom slaps me on the back of my head and Chey laughs. "I taught you better. And I see she acts just like you." "Mama ice cream?" Chey lose asks me. "Yeah come on let's go get my baby girl some ice cream." We all get up and walk down stairs.
