It took them few minutes for the information to sink in. Holly was trying to figure out if they were teasing them or being serious. By the tension in the room and all the insecurities Gail actually has, she was getting more and more sure they did get married and Gail did say all these things to Tracy and Steve. She knew how low opinion she had on herself and how skeptical she was when it came to love and commitment. Drunken Gail might spill the guts and tell she loves Holly and wants to marry her, but Holly had no idea what got her to potentially say yes. She was surprised with the fact she said yes after all that happened with Gail and their relationship in the past few weeks. She was seeing someone. Jessica was a doctor too, they had similar interests and they basically understood the work of the other one. She was Lisa's friend and also in plastic. She was tall, redhead with amazing pair of boobs, present from Lisa. She even liked her, she had fun with that woman and they did a lot of things Gail hated. She took Holly to some big hospital found raisers, she took her to the theatre and she took her to fancy dinners where Holly had to dress up and look very posh. She loved the nights she and Gail would spend at her place watching movies and getting take out, but she also loved getting dressed up and dining at fancy places. The train of thoughts was interrupted by the man who got into the house. He went straight to Gail and Holly and smiled at them.

''Good morning ladies. I hope you are ok today… I have what you asked of me…I engraved what you wanted Mrs. Stewart and here is the wedding certificate.''

He put the small ring box in front of them with two platinum wedding bands.

''I did what you asked… They are simple rings so your gloves wouldn't tear and also that the ring wouldn't tear your wife's gloves when she is doing her…work….Just as you asked…they are just platinum, not stones… Put them on… Let's see how they look on you….''

Gail looked at the man and at Holly. He was confused why none of them picked their rings and why they looked confused. Holly took the ring first and what was engraved got her attention. Those words hunted her for weeks after they were said and even after they broke up…

Plus one forever

Her eyes were wet… She was getting ready to put it on her finger when Gail stopped her…

''Don't… This one is yours…''

''How do you know?''

''It says I love you nerd…''

''Oh… That's my ring then… I am the nerd…''

She placed the ring on Holly's finger. It fit her like a glow. Gail was a bit nervous…

''Should I put yours on too?''

''Oh, sure…''

She gave Holly her hand and she placed the ring on… Gail and Holly couldn't stop staring at their hands and at each other. Guy left and let them all enjoy the awkward moment. He was sure he never saw weirdest couple in his life… And he did see a lot of things… Dove jumped to take the folder with the wedding certificate… He opened it and read it...

''OH MY GOD!''

They all turned towards him.

''Dude, you took Holly's name! Your mom will flip…''

''What?''

Steve jumped from his chair and went to Dove. He had to see that… As Dove said… Names signed were Holly Adrian Stewart and Abigail Katherine Stewart. It was very weird. Steve was looking at the paper and at Gail.

''What!?''

''You did take her name; shit…You even signed it all with Abigail… You did mean business when you did this sis… You are married…Mrs. Stewart…''

''Oh, God!''

They all turned towards Gail…

''Your name is Abigail?''

Holly giggled for the first time in weeks…

''None of you knew?''

''No! I kept it a secret…''

''But you told me?''

''Let's say I was drunk… And I told you worse things than my name baby…''

Holly just gave her a look for that slip up… Baby… Gail couldn't believe what she did…Stupid! Stupid!

''So, Abigail Stewart… Sounds serious…and sort of hot…''

Holly giggled again, but tried to keep it quiet form Gail.

''Yes, but if you dare use it Dove…you will be in pain…''

Nick was just looking at the situation very silent and confused. Gail was shocked, but not sorry for being married to this girl. There was no look of panic like she had when they wanted to get married. That's how he knew she was where she belonged. Dr. Stewart was a good thing for her and he hoped Gail would get her head out of her ass and be good wife to this woman. He believed she needed to realize she just maybe did the right thing. He took his juice glass and took a sip… After very awkward breakfast, Frank got into talking…

''Oh, so… We should leave soon… I think we all agree that this was very eventful weekend and we could use some time…to prepare for tomorrow. I think we should leave soon. See you by the car in an hour…''

They all got up and started walking towards their rooms. Tracy was still sitting at the table looking at her food. She looked sad and Gail and Holly felt bad for her.

''Hey, I am sorry…''

She lifted her gaze towards Gail.

''Did you really mean it?''

''What?''

''About Pecks being toxic and wishing you died instead of Jerry?''

Gail took a long breath and exhaled loudly.

''I do… Often I wished he survived instead of me… He had so much to live for… He had you, Leo… And I had nothing…''

''Gail…''

''No! I had nothing…''

''Ok. It was then…And now? Would you still trade places with him?''

''I don't know… Sometimes I wish I could. It would all be better if you could have him back… His sacrifice was for nothing… He wasted his life to save ME!''

''Gail…''

Holly approached her and stood behind her ready to catch her if she falls.

''Gail, he didn't waste his life saving yours… He gave you a chance to save yourself too. Because of him you found a new direction in life and worked on yourself to become a better person… You met Holly…''

''And messed her up too…I am sorry for ruining your thing with my brother. He is a jerk, but he loves you… Go and get him and run to get married… I wish you could work things out…''

''I wish the same for you… If you do it, I will too…''

''Do what?''

''Work on your marriage….''

''Tracy…it's complicated… We…. She… I…. Hm… Holly…''

Steve was at the door. It was clear to Holly he wanted to work things out with Tracy. She had to stop Gail from speaking and saying something wrong. It was time for Holly to take things into her hands now.

''Gail, let's go to our room and get things ready…''

''Oh… Ok…''

Holly got her far from Steve and Tracy. Gail loves them very much, but sometimes things she says sound much different from what she wants to say. They got into the room and Holly sat on the bed. She observed Gail and was a bit entertained how nervous Gail was.

''Gail…''

''What do we do now?''

''About?''

''This…''

She showed her hand to Holly and Holly had that trademark smirk…

''Looks good on you…''

''I am serious… You are dating someone…and this…''

''Gail…''

''I screwed up again… I shouldn't have said all I said to Steve and Tracy… I shouldn't have married you….''

''You regret marrying me?''

''I…''

She took a deep breath…

''I do not… But you do…''

Holly was surprised by the answer she got…

''I do not…''

''You do not?''

''No. I love you Gail. You are pain in the ass, but I love you… And I want to make this work… We did this drunk and knowing our history we tell each other things… We tell the truth when we are drunk and I am sure I didn't mind getting married to you and ending up in this bed. I love you…''

''And the girl?''

''She… She is different. And we didn't put any label on it. It's just…''

''Sex?''

''And dates…''

''But you are not together?''

''Not really…''

''What do we do Holly? This will get out soon…''

''Do you want to be married to me?''

''Yes…But I am scared of screwing things up…''

''So am I… But we will work on us and give our best not to fall under the influence of our friends, your family or anyone else… You and I are a team Gail… And we do things as a team… OK?''

''Ok… And now our team works? Where do we start?''

''We deal with it… I will have to talk to Jessica and end tings. You will have to work through your crap with a therapist and we talk about things…You move in with me and we work on us…''

''What?''

''You sleep in the spare room and we date…''

''Oh…''

''What?''

''I am a bit surprised…''

''Why?''

''You have it all worked out…''

''I don't… I just don't want to be the quitter…''

''Ok… We deal with things…''

Holly got off the bed and took Gail's hand. She pulled her towards her into the hug.

''I missed you officer…''

''Missed you too doctor…''

Oliver was at their door.

''Sorry to interrupt…But have you seen Tracy and Steve?''

Holly smiled at Gain and turned towards Oliver…

''No, we have no idea where they are…''
