What to do, what to do?

I'm working on this story called I Loved Him First, which was inspirled by I Loved Her First by Heartland. Wills and Theo's son Myles is getting married, and Wills sings this to him during the father/son dance. However, in order to get it published by JMS Books, it has to run a minimum of 12,000 words, so of course more needed to be added. We see Myles's birth, the Halloween when Wills and Theo realize their younger son likes girl's clothing, the school's talent show when Bear and Myles perform The Roving Kind, Myles's first real date (as opposed to going out with a bunch of his friends), and the aftermath of that date (not good).

The thing is, I've written myself into a corner. I'm not unhappy with where it's going, but... If Chad (the "boyfriend") discovered Theo had been a rent boy at one time in his life, how? His father was a former client (no problem), but he knew Theo as Sweetcheeks. Chad knew him as Mr. Bascopolis. Theo had to make a phone call to Chad's father, and I suppose he could have told the senior Pierce who he was, and the senior Pierce could have told his wife i.e. "Honey, you'll never guess who Chad's date's father is!" And as nice as she might be, (not sure about that at this point) the idea of her son being involved with a boy of questionable background (she's so deluded) might be the reason why she told Chad.

That could actually work! :-D
