''Sweetie, what's wrong?'' She asks with worry in her eyes. I just shake my head and try to turn around again but it doesn't work. ''Lucy, please talk to me.''
''I- uh- i- don't kno- know how to''
''Well, can you sit up for me?'' I nod and do so. ''Oke take a few deep breaths for me.'' She says and I start doing that while she walks into my bathroom. She comes back with a glass of water and a wet towel. ''Oke, take a sip of water and then wipe your face with this towel she says and after that, I feel a little calmer.
Mom puts the towel back in the bathroom and I drink some more water before placing the glass on the nightstand. Mom walks back in and sits in front of me on the bed crossing her legs. ''Now tell me what's wrong my love, whatever it is, it's okay.'' I look at her and take another deep breath.
''I have a partner,'' I say softly looking at my hands while my fingers are picking at each other. Mom takes my hands in hers to stop me from doing that.
''That's awesome! since when?''
''Today, I wasn't hanging with friends, I was on a date.''
''Okay, why were you crying about that? Did something happen? Do I need to kill someone?'' I laugh at her words and shake my head.
''Remember the question I asked at dinner?'' I ask suddenly feeling confident in telling her. She nods at my question.
''well I am dating a non-binary person'' I say, and look down again, all my confidence fades as quickly as it came.
''That's cool! Do you have a picture of them?'' She asks and I smile at the right usage of pronounce. I pull my phone out to look up a picture from today. ''wait, are their pronounce they/them or different?'' Mom asks and I smile wider if it's possible.
''This is them, and yes they use they/them pronounce, thank you for asking,'' I say while showing her the picture.

''Awh, they are so cute! I can't wait to meet them!'' She says and I smile. '''Wait, Lucy, I still don't know why you were crying?'''
''I was thinking you wouldn't accept it or something?'' I say softly and she gasps while putting a hand on her heart.
''Honey, I will always accept you and your friends or partners. Please never doubt that.'' She says and I smile and nod.
''I don't know why I was thinking that either.''
''It's oke, our minds play tricks on us sometimes. You got that from me.'' She says with a wink and I can't help but laugh. '' Now, let's cuddle and talk about this partner of yours!'' She says and we get comfortable in my bed. I tell Mom everything; from when I first met Dylan to the date today. We also talk a bit about why I was so nervous to tell her and what was going on in my mind which lead to an honest moment about our mental health. I love that my mom is kind of my best friend. I love that I can be open and honest about everything and that she will always support me. I also really like that she is open about her struggles and mental health; it makes me feel less alone.
After a bit, Robbie comes in to say goodnight and I pat the spot next to me for him to get in. He looks a little unsure because I am never really close to him. He still gets in and i lay comfortable between mom and him.
''Oh wait, i have to post something on Instagram'' I say as i grab my phone, while posting i feel them both looking at my phone and feel a little nervous because i haven't told Robbie yet

After posting it i put my phone back on my nightstand and grab moms hand while laying my head on Robbie's shoulder.
''That was a cute picture Lucy, since when do you have a girlfriend?'' Robbie asks.
''Well since today but they are non-binary so i have a partner.''
''Okay, that's cool, are you happy?''
''Yes''
''Than i am happy for you, but if they hurt you I hurt them,'' He says and I laugh at him before turning and snuggeling into mom, who welcomes me with open arms.
''Night mom'' I mumble and she mumbles a 'goodnight' back before kissing me head. Right before i fall asleep i mumble another small ''Night dad''.
Lizzie POV
Lea falls asleep on my chest and Robbie is looking at me with a big smile.
''She called me dad!'' He wisper yells and i smile at him.
''Yes she did''
''I am so happy'' He says and i smile at him before looking at the ceiling again. ''You okay Lizzie?'' he asks and I nod.
''Yea, it just makes me sad that she thought she couldn't tell us about her partner because they are non-binary. ''
''I know it's sad, but she did tell us on the day she got a relationship. I am happy she did that and that she didn't struggle with it longer.''
''Yea, your right about that love.''
''It's funny because I always thought she wasn't straight but then she had a boyfriend so I was like, never mind.''
''Having a boyfriend doesn't mean your straight you know'' I say as I look at him.
''I know love, having a girlfriend also doesn't mean your straight. Do you know what Lucy identifies as?''.
''Well she said she doesn't want to label it for now''
''Cool, I get that.''
''Goodnight love,'' I say as I fall asleep with my two favorite people next to me.
