Holly and I have been together for 10 years married 8 and we have a five year old son named Gavin. Holly was the lucky one to carry him and my brother was open enough to be our donor. So we could have a part of both of us in our little one. Life was more than wonderful. It was something I never thought I would have. I still cant believe Im married and that I am a mother. Who would have thought me Gail Stewart-Peck would be anything but a cold hearted creater. Never believed in love let alone in love at first sight. Going to that call 10 years ago was the best thing to ever happen to me. I never told Holly this or anyone for that fact but it was love at first sight for me. I still think it was that crooked smile that did it for me or the way she kicked back my rude comments, or how she never let me walk over her. No it had to be those big brown eyes that allowed me to have a reflection of whom I really was and how other could possibly see me.
I have been gone for 2 weeks on an under cover mission which means no wife and no son contact. It never gets easier but it had to be done. I can see them both asleep through the window, I know they were trying to wait up for me when she got word I was coming home. I cant help but look at them knowing I was the lucky one to have such beautiful people in my life. I slowly walk in. Give my son a kiss on his forehead, and I still cant believe how much he looks like Holly but can give a total Peck stair. I then go to my wife Dr. Holly Stewart-Peck I can never say that enough. I gently try to wake her up, and their it is that smile and those eyes. She gets up slowly and kisses me and hugs me. I still get that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I got the first time she kissed me in the coat closet that same feeling I got when I had the nerve to kiss her the interagation room. Nothing has chaned for us.
H-Hey babe, welcome home sorry we fell asleep both had a long day. We missed you.
Me-Its ok I thought I would be home earlier but all the paperwork kept me. Come on lets go to bed and we can do something tomorrow. Hows Gavin been doing? I know its been hard for him has he been giving you any trouble?
H-He has his moments but he misses his mom thats all. Nothing I cant handle. We talk about you and he drew some pictures for you.
I slowly go to him again and rub my hand on his arm telling him to get up.
Gavin-Mommy your home and he jumps for me to catch him
And their it is her smile and those eyes of mine. I didnt think I could love anyone like I do them
Me-come on champ lets get to bed we will do something tomorrow ok. I love you buddy.
Gavin-I love you to mommy.
I care him upstairs with Holly behind me with her fingers around the loops of my pants. We lay him down he says his prayers and Holly and I make our way to our bedroom. One kiss turns into heavy passion. Weeks of build up between the both of us. It didnt take long but make love to her never gets old. I dont remember falling asleep but I hate waking up alone. I have to look around for a second to remember that I am finally home. Home! I can smell breakfast all through the house and the coffee going so I brush my teeth wash my face and make my down stairs. I stop half way down just to get a look of them making breakfast together. He's gotten so big in the weeks I was gone his hair is longer too. Holly catches me looking at them and signals for me to join them. I grab Gavin sit him on my lap while Holly make breakfast. We eat rather quickly and she tries to give me a kiss and Gavin blocks Holly and says my mommy no kisses. We cant help but laugh.
Me-mama misses me too, So you have to share ok. Im going to be home for 2 weeks.
Gavin-but your my mommy he digs his face between my shoulder and neck
Me-I know buddy but I miss mama like I miss you so she gets to hug and kiss me just like you want to ok
He just nods his head and this time allows my wife to give me my good morning kiss. Something I always get unless im gone on assignment.
As an officer you are trained to listen and watch and always expect the unexpected. I never saw that truck coming though. Holly, Gavin and I are now in the emergency room. Gavin has a broken arm but is ok and I have a broken nose and some cracked ribs from the air bags. But Holly got the worst of it. Her side was the one with direct impact. Everyone was at the hospital. Steve Nash my mom and my dad. All giving me support and updates on Holly. Turns out Holly had major head trauama and severe internal bleeding. She was in a comma, and to my suprise she never updated her medical records so her parents are still in charge of her care.
That for me is a problem as they do not accept our life together and have never acknowledge Gavin as a grandchild. This is about to get really ugly really fast I can already tell.
Im not sure how may chapters this will be...Still thinking about where this will be going. And omg anyone see episode 10 the kiss was amazing but the way Holly ran her hand down Gails arm...I saw sparks flying let me tell you
