Nancy knows how she’s supposed to feel. She’s studied it, turned it over, tried to fit herself into it...but it never quite sticks.
Robin knows what she’s supposed to do. There’s a right way to move this forward, she’s sure of it...but she keeps screwing it up.

Summary
It's fine, it's fine. Robin will be here soon. Robin will—
The thought cut off as a particularly vicious spasm seized her lower back. Chrissy's fingers tightened on the edge of the bench, knuckles going bloodless. She kept her breathing shallow, afraid to draw in too much air, afraid the expansion of her ribcage would pull at something that couldn't take any more pulling. Sweat had broken out along her hairline despite the cold, and she could feel it cooling on her skin, making her shiver, which made everything worse.
When it finally released its grip, she was left gasping tiny sips of air, her free hand pressed flat against the bench beside her thigh like she needed to anchor herself to something solid.
God, I can't do this.
OR
Chrissy injured her back during cheerleading practice. Good thing her girlfriend Robin can pick her up and help out.

Summary
“Robin?” Chrissy asks softly, chancing a look over at her. “Are you okay, sweetheart?”
Robin turns her head, blinking owlishly. For a second, she doesn’t respond, and when she does, it’s mumbled. “My teeth.”
“I know,” Chrissy says sympathetically. “You’re—”
“They’re sad,” Robin continues, as if she hadn’t spoken. “We’re sad.”
Robin has her wisdom teeth removed and has some big feelings.

Summary
He had never been one to panic, and after fighting monsters all through his teen years there really wasn’t much that could phase him at this point, but Steve froze the second the words left his kid’s mouth.
He had practiced for this, he had prepared. There was a sizable stack of index cards somewhere collecting dust in a desk upstairs, a perfect speech about love and blood and what does and does not make a family.
But none of that mattered now. Now he was a butterfly pinned to a board, stuck in place staring down a question he could not fully comprehend the answer to.
"Are you my dad, Steve?"
