Pockets In Her Dress (A Hailee Steinfeld gxg fanfic)

Mother's Instinct

Hailee's POV:

I'm visiting my parents today, it has been weeks since that thing almost happened with me and Buck, things are getting pretty serious and at one point it's either Buck's gonna ask me to be her girlfriend or I do it myself but I figured that if I want to take the next step and commit then my parents deserves to know. I've figured myself out for a long time with the help of my friends but I never came out to my parents. Sure my brother Griffin knows and most of my closest friends knows, the thing is I've never dated someone of the same sex so being with Buck really is a first for me. I'm nervous for my parents' reaction already and get this, I didn't tell Buck what I'm gonna do today because I wanna surprise her no matter what the result of it will be but I do hope it's gonna be a positive one.

"Honey you're here!" My mom says pulling me into a hug. "Come in, come in. I cooked lunch honey, your father is gonna be home soon he'll join us for lunch." She added.

It really feels different when I visit home, the feeling of familiarity, warmth and mainly seeing my family. Mom is preparing the food already so I decided to check out Griffin who I'm pretty sure is in the garage fixing his truck. When I opened the door that leads to the garage, a happy Dwight comes running towards me.

"Hewwooo baby! I've missed youuu" I say petting Dwight.

"Sis! You're here!" Griffin exclaims walking behind the dog, we both engaged in a hug. "So what brings you here?" I take a deep breath, closing my eyes.

"I think, I'm ready to come out to mom and dad."

"Really? That's great Haiz! I'm so proud of you always lil sis" he says giving me another hug.

Time flies and it's lunch time already, we're all eating and catching up but I barely touch my food because I'm really nervous on what's gonna happen.

"Hailee, sweetheart are you okay? You barely touch your food." My dad says, this made mom and Griffin look at me. I closed my eyes and take a deep breath.

"I have to tell you guys something..."

"What is it?" My mom asked. I looked around and see Griffin nod giving me a signal that it's okay.

"I-I, I like girls. I'm into girls and I think I do even before I go out with boys but I shake the feeling off because maybe it's normal until I really took my time to reflect and rediscover myself and I hope you accept me and if not it's also okay I just.. I really like this person and I'm falling for her and I want you guys to know before committing into a relationship specially if it's with the same sex." By this time I can feel a panic attack coming but I feel two people hugging me and it made me realize it's my parents.

"Honey, it's okay we love you still okay? Nothing can change that." My dad said

"And somehow I think I also knew all this time. I mean it's a mother's instinct I guess." My mom added. "Wait does Griffin already know?"

"Y-yeah.."

"Wait can't I get in this hug circle?" Griffin says and dad gestured for him to join and he runs towards us and joins in the hug. I can't help it but tears started flowing from my eyes. After a moment of hugs they all return to their seats.

"So this girl you're talking about, she have a name? Are we gonna meet her soon?" Uh oh here comes mom and her hundred questions.

"She does have a name, it's Robin and uhm I'll have to ask her when she's free and if it's okay for her to meet you guys." I replied.

We spend the rest of the day just bonding with my mom constantly saying how proud she is of me and how she loves me so much. Finally after a long time I can be free in front of my family. I should tell Buck this maybe later when we talk.

Buck's POV:

"Next time learn to say No okay buddy?" Evie says as she push the gurney towards the ambulance. We're currently responding on a call which involved a vlog content gone wrong, man I remember when my dumb teen/impulsive choices phase but I ain't this dumb to put my friends in danger.

While we're on our way back to the firehouse, my mind is cruising somewhere. I've been thinking about asking Hailee to be my girlfriend for days now but I'm still scared if she'll say yes. Instead of sleeping at night when we're not responding, I just stare blank at the ceiling thinking about this decision I'm about to make. She still doesn't know about my family history and about my surgery. I should start telling her one by one on our next dates then maybe I could ask her.

"Robin, you alright there?" Evie snaps her fingers to get my attention.

"Y-yeah.."

"You're thinking about asking Hailee to be your girlfriend aren't you?" Evie added, this sent shivers through my spine. 

"How did you know?" I asked. 

"Robin Buckley, I'm friends with you for such a long time. I know you so well plus it's a mother instinct since I sometimes treat you as if I'm your own mom." Evie said. I mean she's not wrong, there are times that she takes care of me as if I'm her child since she's two years older than me. 

When we arrive at the firehouse, my phone starts vibrating when I check the caller ID; I can't help but get excited. 

"Talk to me." by this time I can't stop smiling already. 

"Hey, how are you? Have you eaten? Sorry I wasn't texting much today I was visiting my parents." Hailee says on the other line. 

"No worries Lee, well we just got back from a call so late lunch it is and how is your day?" Bobby signals that lunch will be ready in a bit. 

"Buckley it's four in the afternoon already and you guys are just eating lunch?!" Uh oh Hailee is on her mom mode. 

"Lee it's part of our job, don't worry okay? I am well hydrated though so it's like I'm doing intermittent fasting." 

"Oh well I will never win on this one am I? Anyways I have good news for you." She says excitedly which I hum in response. 

"I came out to my parents today.. and they accepted me for who I am which makes my heart so happy and I told them about you and they are asking if we could maybe have dinner with them soon?" She says. Part of me is really nervous about meeting the parents, but there's also the proud side of me. I remember when I came out, my parents thought I am a bigger disappointment than what they think I am already but they still accepted me though they really don't care about me. 

"I'm so proud of you Lee! This is a surprise, you never told me you're coming out already! And with your parents, I don't mind if they want to meet me. Let's just set a date when our schedules meet?" 

"Alright! I'll go tell them, oh and also I'll visit you tomorrow at the pier for your busking yeah?" She replied. 

"Sure thing Lee, cheeseburgers on me then! This calls for celebration." 

"Hey buddy, sorry to interrupt but you better eat or else no food will be left for you." Bobby says and I nod at this. 

"Alright Lee, I gotta go and eat. I'll see you tomorrow yes? I miss you!" we hung up the phone and I join the rest of the gang and start to dig in. 

Meeting her parents already? Are we moving too fast? Well I mean maybe it's them being protective since Hailee is a famous person. What can go wrong with meeting them right? 

A/N: Oh Buck if only you know what's gonna happen. Prepare for the next one because it's gonna be heavy. I apologize in advance. Also sorry this one is short chapter but you gotta hold on to your seats!
