Papa don't preach

Joey and Adam (Andrea) arrived at home and with little hesitation they both got out of the car with their shopping bags and headed into the house. When they entered the house, their parents were sitting in the living room watching TV and were both staring wide eyed as the Joey and Adam walked in with hands full of bags.

"Wow", both Mom and Dad said in unison as they inspected Adam's makeover.

Joey urged Adam up the stairs after greeting their parents and followed him into his room, setting the bags on the bed. Joey took Adam in his arms and held him tight telling him everything would be OK and he would talk to Mom and Dad first. Adam was shivering a bit and clearly shaken at his first encounter with the rest of the family dressed as a girl. He held onto Joey tightly and sighed into his chest as they hugged.

"Thank you, Joey. I had a great day and I hope we can have some more fun times together", Adam said quietly.

Joey's head was spinning and he didn't want Adam to have to go and hide in his bedroom all night.

"Andrea. I want you to give me 5 minutes and then I will come back here, OK? Don't get changed or anything, just wait for me", Joey asked enthusiastically.

"OK. What are are gonna do?", Adam asked timidly.

"Don't you worry. I'll take care of you, OK?", Joey assured her.

Joey went downstairs and called his Dad into the kitchen.

"Dad. I know you might be freaked out right now, but Adam and I have had a fabulous day. Maybe the best day of our lives", Joey said excitedly. "She.... I mean he.... Adam is going through some really heavy stuff right now and needs some time to think about things. He REALLY needs all of our support", Joey pleaded.

"Well, what do I need to do?", asked their father.

"Just listen to him and don't tell him he's wrong or messed up", Joey continued."Right now he needs the courage to be the person he wants to be and feels like he is inside".

"OK. Go sit with Mom and I'm going to talk to Jane", Joey said heading back upstairs.

Joey went directly to Jane's door, knocked and then entered after a few seconds.

"Hey. I didn't say come in", Jane said in mock anger.

"Sister. I don't have time for goofing around. Adam has something going on and I need you to be part of it", Joey interjected.

"What? What are you talking about dork?", she said.

"Listen. I need you to go downstairs with Mom and Dad and wait for me and Adam. He has some stuff to say and YOU can't be mean! I mean it! Just listen and then support him! Do you hear me?!", Joey said insistently.

"OK, OK. Don't be so weird", Jane said."I'll be down shortly"

Joey left Jane's room and went back to Adam's room who was laying on the bed, curled up. Joey went and sat beside him and started rubbing his side and arms in an attempt to sooth him.

"Hey.... you OK?", Joey asked.

"Yeah. I mean .... I'm not sure. Joey!? How is this going to work?", Adam blurted out.

"Hey! Look at me, honey!", Joey said while holding Adam's face with both hands and looking him in the eye.

"Everyone in this house loves you and they will happily support anything you do... including the outfit.... the make-up and hair.... the stuff we've been doing together..... ALL of it!", Joey exclaimed.

"You're not making any lifetime decisions tonight, right now you're asking you family to love and accept you, regardless of how you present", Joey said.

"So what should I do now?", Adam asked shyly.

"Let's go downstairs and tell everyone about your day and all the fun we had. We both agreed it was one of the best days of our life, right?", Joey said encouragingly.

Joey stood and gently took Adam's hand and led him to the bedroom door and then slowly down the stairs. As they walked down the stairs, his parents and sister watched Adam with heightened interest. They were clearly all surprised by Adam's look. Joey sat Adam down in one of the large chairs and said on the arm next to him, with his hand on his shoulder.

"OK everyone. Adam and I are here to talk about where we are and answer any questions you might have", Joey started." First off, I need to tell you that today might have been one of the best days of both of our lives. Adam was my date today and for the rest of the night for that matter and I just couldn't be more happy about where we both are after spending a whole day together"

"Joey's right. I did have one of the best days of my life today, being who I wanted to be ....and.... falling in love with my brother", Adam said bravely."I know I'm not supposed to wear girl's clothes or play around with my brother, but I DID. ......and it was the best thing I've ever done", Adam continued. "Everything Joey did today made me feel like more a person than I've ever felt. I don't know if that means I'm gay, or trans or just that I love my brother but what I do know is that I'm happy".

Joey's Dad stood up and went over to Adam and invited him into a hug. This was quickly followed by hugs by Mom and Jane. Following this, everyone hugged Adam. The next hour involved Adam and Joey telling everyone about their day including the salon, shopping and a few hints at playing around several times today. A little while into this Adam went up to the his bedroom and shortly thereafter, Joey received a text that was clearly an invitation to come up. It was a selfie of Adam in the bed dressed in white thigh highs, garter, and matching panties and bra.
