In the moment of awkwardness, April feels quite bad for Alex, but at the same time she found the whole thing to be hilarious. Clearly her parents had heard the name Alex and just assumed she meant a guy. And she couldn't really blame them, since she had only ever dated boys in her younger years. When she introuduces herself to April's mom, April smiles at Alex and shrugs a little, to let her know she wasn't sure how the whole comedy of her not knowing Alex was a girl could be explained. She leans over to Alex and whispers to her "I assumed when I said Alex from SYNCO she would know who you are," with a little laugh. She looks back at her mom and sighs. It was weird, and unconventional, but this was now literally her coming out, she guessed. "Yeah...Ummm mom, this actually is Alex," she says, reaching out and holding Alex's hand again, holding their hands up to show her mom. "Not boyfriend Alex, but girlfriend, Alex," she smiles, not knowing how her mom will react. "I guess you probably weren't expecting this. But..Yeah....I guess...I'm bi, surprise!" She laughs nervously.
After a few seconds of silence and a look of shock on her face, April's mom sort of shakes herself back to attention and smiles at Alex and April one after the other. She was clearly not expecting such big news on the porch, but she didn't mind in any way, it was just not something she ever expected to hear from her daughter. "OH gosh, how very presumptuous of me," she says, looking a little embarrassed and flustered. "Hello Alexis, I'm Kate," she smiles, shaking her hand warmly. "I'm sorry for the confusion. When my daughter said she was dating, she failed to explain that Alex was a pretty girl and not a boy," she says, laughing nervously. "Please do come in. You'll want to prepare yourself for a similar reaction from my husband. Although he might be disappointed he can't give out his "I'll kick your ass if you hurt my daughter" speech now," she laughs, standing aside so the girls can come inside.
