So, That's Your Dad? (Freddie Mercury)

Chapter Fifty Eight: Grandpa Freddie

Rami was against this day coming. I probably should listen to him when it comes to things like this. However, I am starting to show. It seems like I am getting bigger and bigger every day. I don't hate it. I know that's what happens when you have a person growing inside of you. My dad is going to have to find out eventually. I don't want him to find out when I am about to go into labor. I would love for him and the rest of my small family to be involved in my pregnancy, there's no reason for them not to.

My brothers and I made the choice that we were going to have dinner at my father's house. Of course we were going to cook because I wanted to give my uncle Joe a break. He deserves it more than ever during this time. I needed to tell my dad. That was the main purpose of us even going there in the first place.

Evening came before I even knew it. I began to shake due to how nervous I was. I don't know what I was so worried about. Maybe I was scared that my father would disapprove. I don't think he would. I'm an adult and financially stable. Then again, I'm only eighteen years old and I'm already expecting my first child. I could see why he would not be ok with this. As soon as we got to Garden Lodge, I wanted to tell him immediately. Just to get it all off my chest. But I couldn't. I had to know the right time and it wasn't the right time when he opened the door for us to come in. I hug my dad as tightly as I could when my brothers were making their way to the kitchen. The large leather jacket on my upper body covers me so that I do not show as much as I normally would.

"How are you, darling?" My dad asked me. "I'm doing alright. I could be better." I answered him. He nodded and I figured that he understood. "Thank you for coming. I was almost starting to get lonely." He told me. That made me chuckle quietly. It's almost impossible for him to be lonely. Especially with all of these people running around his house. And that's not even counting the cats. I could never have a cat in my house after having so many growing up. It would be like having another child and another Olive. We both walked into the kitchen. This was one of the only places in this house that I loved. I used to love helping Liza out or even just talking to him while he was cooking. This was also one of the places that was not possessed by demons.

Ben started to boil the water in a large pot. While I was beginning to warm up the spaghetti sauce. "So, what are we having?" My dad asked. "Spaghetti, obviously. It's the only thing we really know how to make." Joe said. It was true. Out of all three of us in the house, and occasionally four, none of us actually know how to cook a full meal. That is sad, but I guess I could use the fact that we're young as an excuse. I stared at the red sauce and it looked really good. My mouth began to water just at the sight of it. I couldn't help but to take the ladle and have one large gulp of it. Everyone then looked at me and I could tell that they were at least grossed out. "Sorry. I've just been very hungry today." I tell them. When it was actually just another weird pregnancy craving I was having. They've been happening a lot more nowadays. If I even see a commercial for a certain food, I will actually get into my car to get that specific food. I hear my stomach again and realized that I'm still hungry. I was nowhere near full yet.

"Well Tiff, you have to wait another twenty minutes." Ben said and that just annoyed me even more. I was still hungry and I'm embarrassed because I have tried my best to hide my pregnancy. And now I am failing miserably. "Do you have any ice cream?" I ask my dad. "Yeah. It's in the freezer." He answered. I immediately went into the freezer and took out the entire tub and a spoon. I start eating it and I sigh out of relief.

About an hour goes by as my entire bowl of pasta is gone. It was really good even though to the average person it was probably extremely generic. This was my second bowl when everyone else was still on their first. Our conversations throughout this entire night were ones filled with joy and laughter. I enjoyed our time together as a family, and I'm now not so sure if I wanted to ruin it by telling my dad the news. But I know that either I have to tell him, or Ben is going to be an asshole again and tell him for me. Speaking of, the blonde placed his hand on my shoulder and leaned towards me. "Tiff, I think you should tell him." Ben said. I raised my eyebrows. I wasn't sure if I should take his advice at the moment. "Right now?" I wanted to be sure that what I heard was correct. He nodded and separated from me.

I took a deep breath in. I agree with Ben that now was the right time to tell him. Especially since Ben and Joe were right there, and I know that he won't kill me in front of them. It was either now or he would know when the baby is already here. "Dad, there's something I have to tell you." I begin. He took a sip of water and then placed it back on the table. "What is it, darling?" He asked me in an almost enthusiastic tone. Shit. I'm going to hurt his feelings. I sighed out of nervousness. "I don't want you to get mad at me. Even though I'm legally an adult now, it's still very scary to tell you. Dad, I'm pregnant." I reveal. I'm so surprised by his reaction. He smiled at me. I turn to Ben and Joe. They're just as confused as I am.

"Tiffany. Why would you expect me to be mad? Apart from me finding out that your mother was pregnant with you, this is the best news I have ever received in my life." He told me. I raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Really?" I asked him. "Of course. Plus I wanted to have a grandchild eventually. I didn't expect it to happen now, but here we are." He said and I saw the tears began to fall from his eyes. It made me feel bad. "No, don't cry." I pity and hug him tightly. When we separate he starts to wipe away his tears. I am hoping that they were tears of joy. "What are you hoping that she has?" Ben questioned. My dad chuckled. "A boy. But it doesn't matter, I'd be happy either way." He replied and then hugged me again.
