A short story, hope you like it. Confused Chapter 1 Reid and Luke have been married for 5 years, and were so happy. Many people in Oakdale could see Luke was never more happy, and finally Lily came around, and actually treated Reid with the respect he deserved. Reid still felt tension around her but it was getting better, and it made him feel better knowing she was trying at least. Emma was having a get together at the pond. They were going to have a picnic, and swim, and horseback riding. Reid was not a fan of riding on a horse, but he was starting to enjoy it when he rode with Luke on the same horse. He loved having his arms wrapped around his waist, and feeling safe as long as he was in Luke's arms. They drove over to Emma's place, and parked , and got out bringing some stuff into the house. Emma came over hugging them both, and told them to go outside most the people were by the pond. Reid grabbed a cookie making Emma laugh as Luke scolded him saying it would ruin his lunch. They walked over to the pond, and found everyone there laughing, and having a great time. Luke pulled off his jeans, his bathing suit was underneath. He jumped in the water as Reid watched, he was not sure if he wanted to go in yet. He turned as Natalie who was now 16, touched his arm. "Hey Natalie your not in the pool yet" "Reid can I talk to you alone" "Sure we are alone what is the matter"? "Not here can we go for a walk please" "Sure sweetie are you feeling OK'? "Yes I'm fine I don't need a Mother, I need a friend" "Sorry I was worried" "That was rude I just need a friend" "OK lets go for a walk" Reid walked with her, and they walked for 5 minutes when she finally stopped, and looked at Reid. "You are scaring me Natalie what is the matter"? "How did you know you were gay Reid"? " Wow what a question Natalie why are you asking this question"? "I need to know how you knew" "I knew ever since I was young, I was attracted to boys, not girls. I never acted on it until I was in my 20's, and I shared my first kiss. I lie I did kiss a girl once when I was 16, and it felt so wrong. I kissed my first boyfriend, and it felt amazing like I was on the top of the world. I just knew Natalie why are you asking, are you getting people talking about me, and Luke"? "No promise you will never tell anyone especially my Parents" "Oh God Natalie secrets are not a good idea, they are just starting to accept me" "Forget it I thought I could trust you " Natalie started to walk away, and Reid yelled out, "Wait I promise to keep your secret" Natalie smiled as she went into his arms, and hugged him so tight he knew something serious was bothering her. He whispered, "Tell me what is wrong"? "I kissed a girl at school yesterday, and it felt weird but I liked it, and I'm scared to death" "Oh but you kissed a boy before I saw it with my own eyes. You, and Eric the boy with the braces" "Uncle Reid am I' gay"? Reid was speechless he didn't know what to say next?

Great start to your story jessie. Poor Reid having to keep Natalie's secret that she is gay from Luke. I feel bad for both Reid and Natalie in this story. I hope that Luke isn't going to be to mad at Reid for keeping Natalie's secret. I can't wait to see where you take this story.

Chapter 2
"Natalie your 16 years old, and I know your a little confused you kissed a girl but that doesn't mean your gay"
"You said you were young, when you knew, I'm 16, and this girl told me she knew I was"
"She probably said it because of the kiss, and it freaked her out too"
"Reid your acting like me kissing a girl is a bad thing. I'm confused you of all people should understand"
"I do but this is freaking me out because I'm in love with Luke, and I promised him the day I got married, I would never keep a secret from him. I really don't know what to say, I remember feeling confused, ashamed, and scared to death, and when I finally came out of the closet it was the most amazing feeling. I told my Parents, and they were angry, they wouldn't look at me, but that was OK, that was their problem not mine. Luke is lucky his parents understood"
"Bull they did they wanted to brainwash him, Mom freaked out big time"
"What are you talking about"?
"They were going to send him away, and this place was going to make Luke not gay anymore. I heard Luke, and my Mom arguing about it once, and I felt sick Mom made Luke feel that way. Luke is amazing, and he is happy, but I'm not strong like Luke Reid"
"You are strong, you are amazing Faith don't let anyone tell you otherwise"
"I don't want to tell my Mom right now, but you can tell Luke but he has to keep this between the three of us"
"You tell him Sweetie"
"No you I can't"
"OK but remember you have to dig deep inside you, and know what is going on inside. You may be gay or you might not be, and whatever happens that is OK, your Family, and friends will love you no matter what"
"Luke is lucky Reid you are the best". Natalie hugged him, and she said they better get back before her Mom sent out a search party looking for them. Reid laughed, and together they walked over to the the Pond.
Luke ran over, "Where did you both go, I was starting to worry"?
"Oh we had a nice talk I will tell you later"
"Everything OK Natalie"?
"Yes Luke don't worry". Natalie ran over to her Grandma, and was helping her with the picnic table.
"Reid is everything OK"?
"Yes I will tell you everything when I get home, but how about you go over , and get me one of Grandma's cookies"
"No you will spoil your lunch"
"Me I could eat a cookie, and lunch I'm a growing boy". Luke smiled as Reid brought his lips over Luke's as they kiss. Luke whispered, "Wait here Big boy, I will get you a cookie". Reid smiled but noticed Natalie looking over, and he smiled at her. He could see she was conflicted, and scared, and it reminded him of his childhood, and he hated it. He wished he could make everything OK for her, but he really didn't know what to do to make her feel better.

Great update Jessie. I LOVE the talk between Natalie and Reid in this chapter. I am glad that Natalie told Reid that he could tell Luke what was going on with her. I hope that Reid and Luke will be able to help Natalie. Reid and Luke are so cute and adorable together in your story.

Chapter 3
Luke and Reid were driving home after their afternoon by the pond with the family. Luke could see Reid was worried about something, Luke turned the radio down, and looked at Reid.
"What I'm driving don't distract me while I'm driving"
Luke smiled, "You are upset about something, you frown, did my Mom or Grandma say anything to upset you"?
"No they were nice with me, I have something to tell you, but can we wait until we get home to discuss it"
"Discuss it so your telling me it is serious"?
'Luke it is important, not really serious"
"Oh your not leaving me are you"?
"Are you serious of course not, Luke please can we just get home safely"
Luke turned looking out the window, Reid was driving but he said.
"Richie Rich we are fine it isn't about us"
Luke smiled, "Thank God I was about to cry"
"You were I could tell, Luke you have to stop thinking every time I want to talk about something serious you think I'm about to leave you"
"I can't help it, I am so happy, and something always goes wrong when I think I'm finally happy, you know what happened with Noah, and don't get me started on my other relationships. I often wonder if I was the cause of everyone leaving me, maybe I'm to needy"
"Do you want a slap upside your head, you are not to blame for anything, things happened for a reason. You had all those bumps in the road waiting for me"
"You are right Reid you are perfect"
Reid smiled, "Perfect just this morning you said I was a slob who never does anything around the house but eat"
"I'm sorry I was in a mood, I was feeling sorry for myself"
"You are right, I need to do more around the house, I will help out more often I promise"
"Sure you will you are only saying that to shut me up, but I love you for it"
Reid smiled, "We are almost home". They drove the rest of the way home, and parked, and got out going into the house. Luke hung up his coat, and grabbed Reid's, and hung up his. Reid walked into the kitchen, and grabbed them both a soda, and they sat at the kitchen table. Luke smiled as Reid reached over touching his hand.
"Luke I had a talk with Natalie today she confided in me, and she wants me to tell you what we talked about."
"Reid your scaring me she isn't pregnant is she"?
"Oh God no"
"Drugs"?
"No she is conflicted about her sexuality"
'I don't understand what your saying"?
'She kissed a girl, and I think she liked it, but now she is wondering if she might be gay"
Luke jumped up, and was freaking out a little.
"Reid this can't be happening my Parents will freak out"
"Luke they love you, and if she is gay they will love her. I think she just had a innocent kiss , and more than likely it means nothing, and the next boy that smiles at her she will fall head over heels in love with him"
"Reid I'm scared for her, I don't want her to get hurt. I don't want people to treat her differently she is amazing, and so sweet. She must be so confused, I remember how I felt at her age"
"Lets wait, and see what happens, and if she needs to talk we are here for her. She has us Luke, and if she is gay we will help her anyway we can, but there is nothing for her to be ashamed of"
Luke went into Reid's arms, and whispered, "I love you Reid Oliver, I don't know what I would do without you in my life"
"You never have to find out, I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere"
Luke whispered, "You promise"
"With all my heart, I'm all yours Luke Snyder, you are my life, and I will be here until the day I die"
Luke touched Reid's lips, and whispered, "I know you will be, and I will always be here for you too". They smiled as they kiss, and after they locked up, and went upstairs to bed.

Great update Jessie. Reid and Luke are so cute and adorable together in this story. I am so glad that Reid and Luke talked about Natalie's problem like mature adults in this chapter. You should have been writing for Reid and Luke on the show.

Chapter 4
Luke and Reid were laying in bed they both were exhausted it was a long day. They were just about to drift off asleep when the phone rang. They both jumped Reid was hoping it wasn't the hospital. Luke leaned over grabbing the phone, and said hello.
"Luke can I come over I can't stay here anymore I hate her"
"Natalie what is wrong"?
"I thought talking to Mom might help me but she is freaking out, and she is so upset with Reid"
"Reid why"?
"She thinks he gave me the wrong advice but I told her he didn't say anything he just listened. She never listens, and I will not let her do what she did to you to me"
"Natalie calm down, I will come, and get you if you really need to leave"
"I'm already on the bus on the way to your place, I ran out of the house, I'm sure Mom will be calling you"
'Do you know what time it is you shouldn't be on the bus where are you"?
"I will be at the bus stop by the corner of your street in about 10 minutes"
"I will meet you but never do this again always call me, and I would pick you up"
"Luke I'm so sorry but I thought maybe Mom would understand but she is so rude sometimes"
"Natalie we will discuss this when you get here, I will get ready, and meet you at the bus stop ok"
"Ok" Luke hung up he jumped off the bed grabbing his jeans, and his tee shirt. Reid sat up, "Was that Natalie"?
"Yes she is on a bus on her way here she had a fight with my Mom. I don't know what happened but if my Mom calls don't fight with her Reid, I will deal with her"
"Natalie told her"?
"Yes , and my Mom freaked out apparently, and Natalie ran out of the house. I knew this would happen my Mom pretends to understand but she doesn't have a clue, I can't believe she did this to Natalie"
"She is scared Luke she loves Natalie, and she loves you too"
"Are you defending my Mom"
"Not at all I just think she is worried for Natalie but if she calmed down she would realize the kiss might be no big deal. She could be gay, and if she is she will need her family especially to accept it."
"You rest I will go get her at the bus stop, I will have to call my Mom to say she is safe"
"I will be here" Luke left to go get Natalie as Reid sat up, and thought about the first time he came out, and how hard it was. Natalie was confused, and not sure but she was brave to tell her Mom, and to get treated badly made Reid feel sick inside. He heard the phone ring, and he looked over but he knew he had to answer so he grabbed the phone, and said hello.
"Reid is my Daughter Natalie there"?
"No but Luke went to go pick her up at the bus stop she called saying she left the house after having a fight with you"
"What did you say to my little girl"?
"I didn't say anything she told me something very personal, and I listened, and told her I would be there for her no matter what"
"You have no right you are not family she is no concern of yours"
"Yes she is she is Luke's sister, and I really enjoy talking to her, Natalie, and Ethan. They are really great kids you should be proud of them Lily"
"I am proud of them well Luke could make better choices in life"
"Yeah I agree he wasted a lot of time on Noah we agree there"
"You will never be part of the family, and stay away from my children. I can't stop Luke from making mistakes, but I will not let you ruin Natalie's life too"
"What are talking about I have done nothing wrong"?
Lily hung up, and Reid slammed down the phone, and grabbed the pillow, and threw it. Lily was the most annoying person he has ever came across in his life, and she could think what she wants but Reid was not going to let her ruin what he had with Luke. She was wrong they were great together, and nothing she can do can ever change that.

Great update Jessie. I feel horrible for Luke, Natalie, Ethan, and faith having Lily for a mom. I would love to slap Lily upside the head in this chapter for the way she spoke to Reid in this chapter. Luke and Natalie are so lucky to have Reid in their lives. I am so grateful that Natalie called up Reid and Luke and that they agreed to take her in. Reid needs to call up me and Tegan or Katie and Jacob to talk to so he can blow off some steam about his talk with Lily before Luke arrives home with Natalie. I don't blame Reid for throwing a pillow against the door after his talk with Lily.

Chapter 5
Luke walked to the bus stop and was waiting for Natalie. He was thinking about when he first told his Mom he was Gay, and how she reacted. If she only knew how much it hurt knowing your own Mother didn't accept you. He didn't know if Natalie was gay or if she is confused because a girl kissed her. It didn't matter his Mother should have listened to Natalie not yell and scream and accuse Reid of saying something to her that he shouldn't. One thing about Reid he could listen and he was great with kids. Luke sees how he is with Jacob and Natalie and Ethan he would do nothing to hurt them so how dare his Mom say he would. The Bus was coming and Luke saw Natalie get off she ran over to Luke giving her a hug.
"I am freezing Luke"
"You didn't grab your coat Natalie do you realize you could have been hurt it is to late to be riding a bus at this time" Luke took his jacket off and let her wear it.
"I know but for tonight can I have my Big Brother and no lectures. I will listen to your lecture tomorrow but Mom got me so upset I left the house without my purse and my coat"
"How did you get money for the bus"?
"Maybe I shouldn't tell you how"
"Natalie"
"I asked some people at the bus stop and a man gave me bus fare. He was kind and he didn't bother me on the bus so don't worry. There is nice people in the world Luke sometimes you have to trust them"
"Lets get you home, and get you some hot chocolate than you can get some rest"
Luke and Natalie were walking home and Luke was kind of glad that Natalie feels she can come to him when she needs to talk.
Reid got up putting on his robe, and walked downstairs to make some coffee. He put water in the kettle. He got the mugs down, and than he heard the front door open. He walked over and Natalie ran over giving Reid a hug.
"You are shaking where is your coat you are wearing Luke's"?
"At home I left without it can I borrow a sweatshirt I am cold". Luke said he would run up to get her one. Reid and Natalie went into the kitchen, and Reid asked her what she wanted to drink.
"A hot chocolate, I think Luke wants one too"
"I guess I will have one to" He walked over seeing if they had hot chocolate they did he got it down. He grabbed some marshmallows when Luke walked into the kitchen handing Natalie the sweatshirt.
"I guess I better call my Mom" Luke said
"She called she is really upset but maybe you should call her"
"She didn't yell at you did she Reid" Natalie asked
"No she is worried about you" Reid didn't want to upset Natalie so he lied but Luke could see by Reid's face his Mother was mean to him. Luke said he would call her from the living room. Reid got the hot chocolates for the three of them. He brought them over to the table and sat down.
"Reid I am so sorry I got you involved in all this. My Mom went crazy when I told her I talked to you. I don't understand why she treats you so badly when it is clear to see how much you love Luke and he loves you. I want you to know I am happy you are with Luke, and please never let my Mom ruin what you both have"
"Don't you worry about that no one is going to take Luke away from me"
Natalie smiled as Reid handed her the marshmallows, and she took 2 putting them in the hot chocolate. He put some in his mug but he was looking at Luke in the living room and he could tell Lily was giving him a hard time. He hated seeing Luke upset but helping Natalie was their first priority, and no matter what happens he would always be there for Natalie and Ethan growing up because he has grown to love them like family and no matter what Lily could not take that away from him.

Great update Jessie. Reid and Luke are so cute and adorable together with Natalie. Luke's mom is awful for jumping all over Reid and Luke for taking Natalie in after her fight with her mom. Luke, Ethan, Natalie, and Faith are lucky to have Reid in their lives to talk to when Lily gives them a hard time. I hope Reid and Luke don't break up because of Lily's interference becsuse she can overbearing at times. I hope you update this story for me again soon.
