2 WEEKS LATER

Mark rubbed his temple, not sure it it was a good idea. "Are you sure you want to do this, baby?"

"For the nth time, yes. Mark i'm sure. I'll be fine. we'll be fine. Don't worry."

"You do realize that once you ring the door bell, there's no going back, right?"

Jackson caressed Mark's cheek softly, "Babe. I'm absolutely sure. Just...promise to always be there for me?" Mark smiled and replied with an," I'd never let you down."

Jackson then confidently rang the doorbell but when the door opened Mark and the person inside both gasped while Jackson stood there silently.

---------------------------------

3 HOURS EARLIER

Both boys were in Jackson's living room, cuddling and talking to each other about random things. 

"So, I've given it some thought," Jackson started, "and i want you to meet my mom again."

Mark abruptly froze. "Jackie, I don't think that's a-"

"I know but please..." Jackson pleaded," She deserves to know about us. She is my mother after all." Mark really didn't want to tell Sophia anything about their relationship, especially after what she did to their fathers and how she acted. Saying that she was homophobic, was a serious understatement. 

"But remember what she did to our fathers. I mean they were in the wrong but she didn't need to be rude or anything. She could have accepted her husband like my mom did my dad."

"Please just think about...please?" Mark simply nodded while Jackson decided to play a movie for them, mainly himself, to watch as Mark could meditate and think. 

During the movie, Mark looked at Jackson and realized something. He realized that he loved Jackson a lot. He realized that he loved being around Jackson, he loved seeing Jackson smile, he loved seeing him happy. He would do anything to keep his Jackson happy, and if telling Jackson's mom was what he wanted, then who was he to deny him? Sophia could have changed for all he knew. Mark smiled softly at the thought. He was going to make his baby happy.

Pausing the movie, Mark said," I believe we have somewhere to be going, babe." Jackson couldn't hold his smile back, "Really?! I didn't think that you'd agree!" All Mark could do was smile seeing his boyfriend act like a child. 

-------------------------------------------

"Mom, remember Mark?" Jackson gulped nervously. He suddenly started to realize why Mark was unsure about meeting her. Since Jackson had moved out, he never ever bothered to check on his mother. In all honesty, he didn't hate her one bit. He just didn't like her way of doing things if he ever went to her, she would end up talking about nonsense that Jackson did not want to listen to and she would lecture for hours upon hours.

As soon as Mark had made eye contact with Sophia, he felt intimidated. She looked a little older than when he last saw her but her eyes still spoke very loudly and currently they said, "Leave, i don't want you around my son." and Mark was very tempted to listen.

"Come in, Mark. Both of you. We have a lot of things to catch up on," she giggled fakely. Mark and Jackson both glanced at each other knowing that this was a huge mistake.

"So what brings you here?" Sophia asked breaking the silence.

"Well, mom i- more like we want to tell you something." Jackson smiled at Mark. Sophia only rose her eyebrow, waiting for them to continue.

Jackson took a deep breath as Mark intertwined their fingers. "Mark and I.... We're dating....as in he's my boyfriend."

Sophia stilled and so did the couple. Bracing themselves for the worst, Sophia voice came out broken and soft, "So you're gay?"

Jackson winced at how destroyed his mother was. Although he was pansexual, he replied with a "Yes." Sophia looked down and inhaled.

"Okay."

....Just "okay"? Mark and Jackson were seriously concerned; they honestly expected her to kick them out but she didn't.

"I think y'all should leave, I'm a very busy person." She chuckled lightly. As the boys got up awkwardly, she said,"Before you leave can I talk to Mark?"

There it was. She was probably going to stab him and Mark almost smiled.

"Mark, take care of Jackson for me please. Make sure that he's alright always, okay."

"...do you approve of our relationship?"

"Of course not," she smiled painfully, "But I still care about my sons well being."

"What did she say to you?" Jackson asked as they drove to Mark's home. "Nothing much." Mark said pondering everything that had happened.
