12 Days of Enjoltaire

Day 12: Home, Love, Family

A/N: Oh my god this is so so so late I am so sorry. It's been a rough break and I've had way too much writer's block and family events. Regardless, here's the last chapter of this fic for 2019. The image is by @littlesmartart on tumblr. Happy New Year's Eve! And Thank you to letothersriseseries for commenting on every chapter, that meant so much!

            "So that's basically the romantic holiday history of your parents," Courfeyrac summed up, closing the giant scrapbook. Enjolras and Grantaire's daughter, Delphi, was sitting next to him and smiling brightly.

"Did it really take them that long to get together," she asked with a laugh. Courfeyrac nodded.

"Yep. Your papa moved away when he was your age. You're 15 right?" he teased. Delphi laughed and nodded. "Exactly. So do you have anyone who might be your future partner in crime?"

"Do not answer that!" Grantaire called from the kitchen. Delphi crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Is that because you see me as a piece of property that you're required to defend in a patriarchal society until you can sell me off for marriage?" She asked. Grantaire just raised an eyebrow and glared at Enjolras, who was badly stifling a laugh.

"Ojh she is so you're daughter," he grumbled before turning back to her. "That is so not true. I just know what horrible assholes men can be."

"Aren't you bi?" Delphi asked.

"And happily married to one of the best ones, thank you very much," he teased, kissing Enjolras' blushing cheek.

"Fair enough. But who said anything about dating men?" Enjolras and Grantaire both looked up at her and exchange a look. Delphi took a deep breath and went into the kitchen.

"Papa, Dad," she started, taking each of their hands. "I'm a lesbian." Enjolras smiled at her and gave her a hug before turning to Grantaire.

"$20," he said triumphantly. Grantaire grumbled and pulled out the money from his pocket. Delphi gave them a false offended look.

"Did you guys bet whether I was lesbian or not?" she asked.

"No!" Grantaire exclaimed, sounding offended. "We bet whether you'd come out today or not." Delphi stared at them before Enjolras elaborated.

"We've suspected for a while. We completely accept anything you want to do and we will always love you no matter what," he promised.

"But I will still judge ever girlfriend you date and give them a shovel talk with Aunt Eponine and Uncle Bahorel," Grantaire added and Enjolras whacked his arm with an oven mit. Delphi just laughed and hugged both of them tightly.

"Thank you," she smiled. "I was worried."

"We'll always love you, Del," Grantaire promised kissing her forehead. Delphi smiled and stepped back.

"I have to call Marie. We agreed to both tell our parents today," she explained with a smile before running off to her room. Enjolras smiled at her and turned to Grantaire.

"I'm proud of her," he said. "She actually trusts us which is a great thing in itself but she's got a girlfriend." Grantaire grinned and wrapped his arms around Enjolras.

"She's in for a fun ride," he laughed softly. "I mean the amount of horrible boyfriends and girlfriends I had before I found you."

"We met freshman year," Enjolras pointed out with a smile.
