Oneshot: based off off the clip from the season 6 trailer of Gail crying into her phone, in that large hallway that kinda looks like a government building. This was supposed to be an attempt at smut, but fluff it is.

Frozen, I stiffly walked out of the courtroom. They had told me that I wouldn't be Sophie's mom. A lovely couple in suburbia would be taking Sophie in. I knew up front not to get my hopes up, but involuntary it had happened anyway. Holly would be coming over this weekend from San Fransisco, she had probably already landed. I promised her I would call after this. Shakily I pressed the call button, and sat down on the bench in the almost empty hallway. The place felt cold, it was empty for all but one woman. Holly picked up on the first ring, "Gail, how did it go?" Upon hearing her sweet sweet voice, the caring in it, my tears started rolling. I could barely speak, "Holly..", I took a deep breath followed by a sob "it didn't". I pressed my hand against my face and felt the tears against it.

I was walking out of the airport when Gail called. To hear Gail so sad, it breaks my heart. I've never heard her cry before. I need to see her. "Gail, sweetie. Why don't you go home, and I'll meet you there?" I heard her take a shaky breath "yeah, okay" she said in a small voice. "I'll be there in an hour Gail"

Thirty minutes later I entered my apartment. I made some camomile tea and I sat down on the couch, the tiredness seeping through my bones. This emotional rollercoaster had sure sapped my energy levels. For months I have been preparing for the possibility of Sophie coming here, and now that it wasn't one, it is a hard time adjusting. I took some deep cleansing breaths and before I knew it, I was asleep.
As I woke up from my nap I heard the key turn in the lock. I'd given her a key some time ago.
I got up from the couch and gyrated towards the door that was being opened.
Holly's pov
The minute I opened the door a huge force almost knocked me over, my bag fell to the ground. It was Gail, flying into my arms. It was a crushing hug, the like I've never received before, she held onto me for dear life. I move my hands over her hair, slowly caressing her. "It's okay Gail. I'm here, it's okay". I gently coaxed her inside, grabbing my bag with my free hand. With the door closed behind us, I wrapped both my arms around her. Now the sobs wracked through her body. I pried her face from my shoulder and put my hands on her cheeks, and I wiped the tears from her face. I peppered her entire face with tiny kisses, till she laughed through her tears a bit. Then she smiled at me with her watery eyes, and flicked her gaze to my lips and back to my eyes. "You're here", she looked at me fondly. She took my face in her hands, then her thumb moved over my lips and she closed the distance between us. The kiss was gentle at first, but then the fire was lit. She pushed me up against the wall, and we kissed passionately. Then she moved from my mouth to my neck, and whispered "Take me to bed, Holly, now, please", and she raised her head, soft eyes looking at me with cheeks still wet.
Maybe there will come a next chapter.
