Penelope's POV:
"Sim!" I called for my daughter upstairs. "Simone!!" Still no answer. I climb up the 16 stairs to Simone's room and knock on the door gently. "Sim. Honey, you in there?"
I heard sniffling and walked right in with panic hanging within me. She's on her bed criss-crossed legs, clutching a pillow to her chest. Tears were rolling down her face. I cautiously walk into her dimly lit room and gently sit on the bed beside her.
It was silent for a couple seconds. "Talk to me," I said quietly. She rested her head against my shoulder and closed her eyes, then began to cry again silently. I wrapped one arm around her then put one hand on her head.
I rest my head on hers and kiss her head. She began to cry into me and hugged me back. "Talk to me baby doll. I'm here for you." It was still for a couple minutes. "I feel alone momma. I don't have anyone. No friends. No nothing."
She began to cry silently again. "Baby girl, don't be sad. I know it's hard feeling alone and you feel like no one really cares for you." I pull away from her and cup her face,"You are never alone. I love you. Your dad loves you, and really that's all that matters." Her dark green eyes stared back at me, a little clouded. I wiped away a stray tear and placed a strand of black hair behind her ear.
"You look so much like your father." She smiles a little and I gave her a warm smile back. "Simmy, tell me what's the real problem. You know you can't hide from me. And if your father even gets the slightest sign he'll hound you to death so tell me." I asked her with a chuckle and she laughed a little. She looked down at her toes.
"I-I'm bisexual momma. And there's this... g-girl at school that I'm really starting to dig ma." I stared at her blankly and she looked up at me. "Ok." She looked at me surprised a little. "What's she like?" Simone looked down again and continued.
"She's really smart and she's short too," she smiled a little,"She has a soft voice and she's like a delicate daisy. She's a thick girl and oh my god ma," She looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes, telling me that she's telling the truth. "And her eyes are a light blue. Piercing, and light. Like the ocean bathed in sunlight."
A huge smile was on her face as she bit her lip and played with the hem of her pjs. "She sounds like a pretty girl, Sim." "Ma, she's absolutely gorgeous!" I smiled at Simone as she smiled back at me. Her smile fell and the sparkle in her eyes faded. "I don't love you any less, Simone. Do what makes you happy baby girl."

Derek's POV:
I see Penelope shut Simone's door and she spots me. "Did you hear that." "All of it." She walked up to me and I wrapped my arms around her waist. She put her hands around my neck and laid her head against my chest.
I've always loved holding Penelope in my arms and I won't stop anytime soon. "I'm just happy that she's happy." "Me too, baby. Me too."
