Bullying & Girly talk

Bullying.

Riker

I was in the kitchen doing the dishes when I hear the front door slam shut and no foot steps following it. I walk to the door and see Layla sitting with her back against it with her knees to her chest crying.
"Baby girl? What's wrong?" I ask stepping closer to and sitting down.
"N-nothing." She whispers.
"You and I both no that's not true. You are crying your eyes out Layla. What is it?" I ask pulling her on my lap and stroking her hair. It calms her down. And it indeed does.
"These kids that go to my school. They were bullying me."
"What did they do? Or say?"
"They were picking on me because..."
"Because.... Why?"
"Because...." She says. "my parents are gay." She whispers and I get mixed emotions.
I stop stroking her hair and look off into space. "I'm sorry." I whisper.
"It's not your fault daddy."
"Yes it is. You shouldn't suffer from it."
"You can't help who you love. Didn't you tell me that daddy?"
"Yes I did."
"So don't let it bug you. I'll live."
"Okay but if that jerk does anything else to you, you best tell me."
"I will daddy."
"Okay good. Now come on. We don't need to be hit in the head with a door by your father." I say an stand up with her in my arms. We walk to the couch and I sit with her in my lap. I turn the TV on and wait for Ross to get home. We're going out for dinner.

"Daddy I gotta go to the bathroom."
"Okay pumpkin." I say and release her from my arms. She gets up and walks to the bathroom. A few minuets later I hear her yell.
"Daddy?" She yells and I stand up rather quickly. I reach the door to the bathroom.
"Yes sweetie?"
"Come in here." She says kinda scared. I open the door and see her sitting on the toilet seat.
"What's wrong Layla? Why am I in here?"
"Look." She says and shows me her underwear. "What is that? Why is there blood in my undies?" She asks scared.
"Baby it's okay. It's suppose to happen. You don't know that?" I ask confused.
"No. Why should I? I never had a mother."
"Okay. Well finish what you need to do and come to the living room. We'll talk In there. Then go to the store."
"Okay?" She asks confused. I nod my head then leave the bathroom.

How the hell do I tell her all of this? She doesn't know any of it. She should at least know the basics right? Like how you can get pregnant. I guess not...

I feel the couch dip down and Layla curl into my side.
"Okay this is gonna be an awkward conversation, okay? I'm trying to decide if I should wait for your father or not. But you need to go to the store so I'll just tell you." I ramble on.
"Dad just tell me please. I'm scared. Am I gonna die?" She asks really scared.
"No baby you aren't gonna die. Here it goes. It's called your period. Girls start it around your age. It comes every month for a week. You get cramps in your tummy and headaches."
"So it's normal to bleed?"
"Yes baby girl. It is for girls to bleed."
"So how do I stop it?"
"You don't. Once you get it you become a women and can get pregnant. So no sex missy!"
"So it just goes all over the place? It's gross."
"I know it is. No that's why we need to go to the store."
"For what I'm confused."
"It's called a pad or tampon. Have you heard of those?" I ask and she shakes her head no. "Okay well we better get going." I say and stand with her in my arms. I carry her to the car and set her in the passengers side. I get to the drivers side and head to the drug store.

I pull into a parking space and take the key out of the ignition. I step out and Layla follows. I lock the car up and wrap my arm around her shoulder. I lead her to the isle where the girly things are. We reach them and she still looks confused. Wow she really doesn't know about it.
"Let's get these ones. Rydel uses them. I seen the box." I say pointing and picking up the black box full of girly pads. "And these." I say grabbing a playtex tampon. I feel really awkward saying all of this so feel weird reading it either.
I wrap my arm around her shoulder again and we walk to the register with the 2 boxes in my hands. We reach the cashier and I see it's a guy.
"Daddy why did you do to the guy?" Layla asks and the cashier looks at her with a smile.
"Sweetie believe me I know all about it all." He says and chuckles.
"See. Nothing to be shy of. Every girl goes through it Layla." I say and walk down to the end of the thing where the bags are.
"15.99" he says.
"Wait dad." Layla says and looks up at me. I raise an eyebrow. "Dad wanted twizzlers."
"Go get then sweetie." I say and she does.
"Dad? Are you gay?" The cashier asks.
"Yes. I am but it that your business?"
"No I guess it not. But I am to. I have a son and a daughter who are twins."
"Really? Wow that's the first time I've met someone like us." I say shocked.
"Same here."
"We are going out to dinner at Tully's would you and your family like to join us?" I ask as Layla puts the twizzlers in the guys hand.
"We'd love to." He says with a smile.
"Great see you at 7." I say and me and Layla walk out to the car.
"What was that about?" Layla asks once we buckle.
"He is gay and had a son and daughter who are twins. We are going to dinner with them tonight."
"Really? Maybe I can make some new friends."
"Maybe sweet heart. We need to go home get you all set then go get a dress from Rydel."
"No I wanna wear the pink one!" She whines.
"The one that's open in the back and sides?"
"Yes! The pretty one!"
"That shows way to much."
"No it doesn't daddy."
"Fine but you have to wear the jacket at all times." (Rock that rock dress rydel wore at the premier from nasty gal!)
"Okay!" She says happy.

We pull into the driveway and head inside. We go to the bathroom and she gets nervous again.
"Layla don't be nervous. It's normal remember."
"I know but my dads in the bathroom with me while I'm almost naked. It brings back memories." She says trailing off.
"I won't do anything baby. That's discussing. You're my daughter." I say and open the box up. "You have to change this all the time. Like regularly. Every 3 hours the most." I say and she nods.
"See. That's all. Tell me if your tummy hurts at all."
"Okay." She says still thinking it all through.
"This is uncomfortable." She says as she walks.
"You'll get use to it." I say and wash my hands. She does the same and we head out to the kitchen where Ross stands looking confused as ever.
"Why did you both come out the bathroom together?"
"Well Ross. We have a new women in the family now."
"What? Who?" He asks not getting my meaning.
"Layla. She's a women now."
"Huh?"
"Oh you're stupid sometimes. Layla tell him I've said it all already today."
"I got my period." Layla says.
"You did?"
"Yup."
"Congrats girl." Ross says jokingly.
"By the sounds of everything it's not fun."
"No I don't think so." He says and shrugs.
"That would explain as to why you were bitchy yesterday."
"I guess."
"Now if you did have sex with that Justin kid you would be pregnant. You wouldn't want that. You're to young. So no sex."
"I know dad told me. Like I said I don't know how to. I just no it because of my dad."
"Okay well hate to burst the conversation here but we need to get ready for dinner. It's getting late." I say breaking the conversation off.
"Okay." Layla says and head upstairs.
"I didn't have a chance to tell you. When we went to Kinney drugs today, the cashier was gay and has 2 kids who are twins. I invited him to dinner with his family with us."
"Okay sounds cool."
"Okay let's go get ready." I say and we head upstairs to our room to change into something somewhat dressy.

Sorry I have writers block! I just thought if the dinner thing lastly and added it in. Sorry this chapter is stupid.
No amount of comments needed.
