Gail was stunned. It was over. After months and months of sleepless nights and making herself sick with worry and stress, it was done.

"You're crying." Came the soft voice at her ear.

Gail kept her eyes fixed across the room but she pulled Holly closer. "Yeah well, when you realise that your life is basically over, I think it's okay to shed a tear or two."

Holly chuckled and snuggled closer to the blonde, resting her head on Gail's shoulder and laying her arm across Gail's body. "Over? Really?"

Gail shrugged and wiped at her face with her free hand, her eyes still trained on the movement across the room. "Yes Holly, our lives are done, gone, o-v-e-r."

"Our?"

Gail scowled, finally looking down at Holly in her arms. "Work with me here."

"Yes dear."

The scowl deepened. "Don't do that."

"Do what? I just agreed to work with you." Holly complained.

Gail snorted as her eyes went back to the corner of the room. "No you didn't."

Holly chuckled then her eyes drifted over as well. "Go get her." She told Gail as she eased over to let Gail up from the bed.

Gail's eyes widened and she slowly shook her head as she tightened her grip on Holly. "No way!" She hissed. Quietly. "She's sleeping Holly, that's like, heaven to us. Do not disturb. Don't you see the sign above her head? It's flashing."

Holly wondered how it was possible to find Gail as equally annoying and adorable as she did. "Fine, I'll get her." She said but just as she shifted Gail pressed her back into position and got up instead.

Holly smirked behind Gail's back. Worked every time.

Gail stared down at the pink blanket covered bundle. Her heart thumped painfully in her chest at the sight. There was nothing she wouldn't do for this new little human.

Her daughter.

She glanced over at the only other person who had earned that deep of a commitment from Gail, Holly, her wife of fifteen months.

Holly now had her back against the headboard in preparation of receiving her daughter, but at Gail's beseeching look she realised there was still a good chance that she would have to get up and go get her herself.

"Just pick her up Gail." She encouraged.

Gail looked conflicted. "But she's sleeping." She told Holly as she tried her best not to pout.

"If you make me come over there, you'll be sleeping in the spare room for the next two weeks, Gail. Choose wisely, and choose quickly."

"But, she's sleeping."

"And this room will be filled with enough people to keep her awake for the rest of the night as soon as they realise they can visit."

Gail glared at the door. "Maybe you should scream for a bit, that'll keep them away."

Holly rolled her eyes at the ridiculousness of the suggestion. "Because that won't wake her up at all." She muttered to herself. Then she saw Gail reaching down into the crib. The sight melted her heart and made the pain of the last few hours more than worth it. Her two girls.

"Aww." She said as Gail gingerly lifted the bundle up into her arms.

Gail looked over at Holly and grinned as she cradled the baby to her chest. She watched Holly reach out and started walking slowly over towards her wife. She gently transferred the bundle into Holly's arms and shifted back onto the bed, her arm wrapping securely around Holly as she gazed down at their daughter.

Wow.

"I think I'm going to throw up." She mumbled as it suddenly hit her that she had a daughter, she was this little girl's mother.

She wasn't ready for that, she still got told off for leaving cheese puff crumbs all over the couch at home. And she still played video games. Sometimes long into the night. Mother's didn't do things like that did they?

Holly chuckled as she looked from her daughter to Gail, who to be fair had paled considerably in the last few seconds. Shaking her head Holly pressed her lips to the cheek within reach.

"Your brother will never let you live that down sweetheart, so maybe hold off until everyone has left?" She offered sagely.

Gail really did feel ill, how could she be someone's mom?

Holly grinned as she watched Gail's face cloud over with fear, she'd been seeing the signs of her wife's freak outs for months now and it didn't matter what she said, she never seemed to be able to assuage the blonde's doubts completely.

So now she found that she rather enjoyed teasing her wife, and adding to her worries instead. "You know, this is the most control we'll ever have over her, after this she'll learn to crawl and walk and-"

"Talk." Couldn't forget that, that part was going to be nothing but trouble.

"And say no when she wants, and pout and scream and cry," Holly continued as she watched Gail sulk at the thought. She chuckled and went in for the kill as the baby's hand wriggled out from the blanket and flapped about in the air causing Gail to offer her finger as the baby fussed. "Wait until she goes to school and meets boys."

Gail scowled at Holly. "You're being mean." Like Gail didn't have enough to worry about?

Holly laughed. "I'm trying to tell you that this is the best part, after this it's all downhill."

Gail let out an aggrieved sigh as she looked back down at her daughter as she clutched at her finger and Holly gently rocked her. "Like I said, our lives are over." She muttered sadly.

Holly thought that maybe they were but only in the best possible way. It would never just be the two of them ever again and there was something heart breaking about that, but staring down at their daughter, Holly couldn't help but feel like their world was suddenly so much bigger now.

She looked back over to Gail who still had that frown on her face. She smiled and shook her head until Gail gave her a questioning look. "I love you. Thank you for this." She added softly as tears built in her eyes.

Gail sighed then shifted over to kiss Holly gently on the lips, careful not to jostle the baby. "You're the one that did all the hard work. I just let you crush my hand." She replied with a shrug.

As Holly laughed Gail knew she was making it sound like she had done nothing but that was far from true. It had been a hard decision for them to have a baby together, Gail had worried about the dangers of her job and so had Holly, but they both loved each other too much not to take this step purely down to fear.

And it hadn't been easy, it had taken several tries before Holly's pregnancy had been confirmed.

Gail eyed the baby girl again and knew she was the greatest gift she and Holly could share.

"We should probably think about naming her, before everyone offers their own suggestions." Gail said only to cause more laughter from her wife. They hadn't wanted to know during the pregnancy although Gail suspected Holly had been able to tell from the later scans. But she'd never asked and Holly hadn't broached it or even hinted one way or the other.

"What do you think?" Holly asked as her chuckles died down. The baby had fallen back to sleep in her arms still holding tight to Gail's finger. It was the cutest sight.

"Ivy."

"No."

"Mistletoe, we can call her Misty."

"Again with the no."

Gail let out another heavy sigh. Truthfully she was just trying to get a smile out of her wife. Although she really did like the name Ivy but she knew Holly would never go for that having been teased all through her younger years because of her own name.

"How about Abigail?" Holly offered.

Gail snorted. She still had nightmares of her mother calling out that name, there was no way in hell she was going to call her own daughter that. "Nope."

"Well, are we going traditional, or something a bit more unique?" Holly asked.

Gail chewed on her bottom lip, she actually had a list of names on her phone, they were all relatively gender neutral, and that had been part of the appeal. She didn't like the idea of an Anne or John, she'd wanted something the baby could grow with and make their own. But not trailer trash unique.

Holly couldn't help but notice the look on Gail's face, her wife was hiding something. "You do have a name don't you?" She guessed with a growing smile. "Let's hear it."

"I don't have a name but I did find a couple that I liked." Gail said then off Holly's look she rolled her eyes and got on with the sharing. "Jamie, Riley, Peyton or Winter."

Those were different.

Holly took her time as she eyed their daughter and repeated those names over and over in her head. "I can't see us using Winter, I'd feel like we'd have to call our next one Summer or Autumn." She told Gail with a giggle. "And that would be tough on a boy."

Gail smiled and was fine with that, but, "Already planning on the next one?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, although she did feel something stir in her chest at the thought of growing their family. Just maybe not this very minute.

Holly just grinned at Gail. They hadn't ever got around to talking numbers, it had been more than enough when they had agreed to try and had finally gotten pregnant. Another child to add to this one would be wonderful, but if it was meant to be it would happen when the time was right.

She shrugged at the blonde. "You did offer to go next." She reminded the blonde.

Gail snorted, yeah she did but that had only really been to get Holly to agree to go first. "But now you have experience, it'll be easier for you with a second."

Now it was Holly's turn to snort. But just as she was about to refute that claim a nurse walked straight into the room with a large grin on her face.

"And just how are mom and baby doing?" She asked coming over and smiling down at the baby that was now turning her head into Holly's chest and beginning to fuss again. "Ah, someone's suddenly realised that food is close by." The nurse said to mom with an amused look.

Gail winced at the idea. Another good reason not to give birth, she'd never have to have a small human with teeth chew on her nipples.

Holly nudged Gail as she saw the look. The blonde then tried to give her an innocent look that clearly Holly didn't buy.

Gail grinned and snuck in another kiss to Holly's cheek. "Have I mentioned how much I love you yet? And how wonderful you are to have given us a daughter?"

Holly couldn't help but grin. Even if Gail was trying to butter her up she couldn't help but feel loved because Gail had shown her nothing but that through all of her actions in these recent months. Gail had put up with her mood swings, her complaining, her weird food cravings and everything else pregnant Holly had thrown at her.

She gave Gail a dubious look and opened her mouth to reply but the nurse saved the blonde from trying to save herself.

"But first, why don't we let some of those visitors out there come in for a quick looksee?" The nurse suggested as she came back around and stood at the door to the room waiting for the okay to show some of them in.

Gail rolled her eyes out of view, she wasn't happy with the idea of having this time with Holly and their daughter intruded on but she knew she could do little to stop it.

Holly nodded to the nurse who quickly disappeared.

"They'll be gone before you know it." Holly whispered to her wife.

It'd be their friends from 15 and Gail's family for now, but later in the week Holly's side of the family would be here too. The baby's sudden arrival surprised everyone but Holly had already assured her parents not to rush and just arrive when they'd planned to.

Gail sighed and gazed down at her daughter. "I guess."

She didn't sound too happy about it and if Holly was honest with herself she wasn't eager to give up the tiny bundle in her arms either.

"Hey, knock knock?" Steve stuck his head around the door as he opened it, his eyes going from Gail and Holly to the baby in her arms and that's where they stayed as he drifted forward with Traci at his heels. "A girl?" He asked as Traci cooed.

Holly nodded with a wide grin. "Yeah."

"Can I?" Traci asked as she stepped in front of Steve, desperate to hold the baby. She and Steve had been discussing having a child ever since Gail had told them her and Holly were trying.

"Careful." Gail couldn't help but warn as she watched her friend take her daughter from Holly.

Traci gave her friend a look as she took the baby and started to pacify her with a small bounce. "I have one of my own you know." She reminded the blonde.

Gail scowled as Holly giggled. "You're not helping." She whispered to Holly though her eyes remained fixed on Traci. She knew the other woman wasn't going to do anything silly like drop her but that didn't stop the knot of fear she had in her gut now that someone other than herself, Holly or a qualified medical professional wasn't holding her.

"Relax." Holly muttered as she shifted to try and find a more comfortable position.

Gail snorted but tried to stop with the glares aimed at her friends as they surrounded Traci and all took turns cooing and waving fingers and hands in front of her daughter.

Of course it just made the baby wail and Gail couldn't help but smirk.

Holly sighed as she saw the look on her wife's face. She looked at her daughter and then back at Gail. "Oh, why do I get this sudden feeling of dread?"

Gail stuck her tongue out at Holly but the other woman quickly pulled her into a kiss. "Hmm." Gail grinned like an idiot as she eased back. "I'm so proud of you." She whispered as she dropped her head onto Holly's. "You did good."

Holly grinned lazily. She wasn't on any pain meds and she could definitely feel the aftereffects of the birth. But she was incredibly happy right now. She snuck a quick look over and saw Andy McNally holding their daughter now. She didn't begrudge their friends wanting to be part of this special moment with them but if she was honest she really just wanted more time alone with her family.

"We did good." Holly refuted. She may have been the one to give birth but this was their daughter and Gail had suffered through the pregnancy and birth just as she had. Holly had made sure of that.

Gail looked back down at Holly as her wife chuckled. She raised her eyebrow wanting to know what was so funny.

"How's the hand?" Holly had to ask.

Gail groaned at the reminder and flexed her sore fingers. "I'll never shoot a gun again." She complained with a pout.

Holly shook her head. "Good thing you're right handed then."

Gail grinned as she was caught out, she had hoped for a bit more sympathy but really? She had little to complain about, especially as she had allowed a member of the public to practically break her hand several years ago, Holly had more than earned the right to crush her hand at will.

Or at least during the act of giving birth to their daughter.

Gail glanced around the room and spotted Leo still by the door. Just as she was about to call him over her mother waltzed into the room, glanced around and then made a beeline over to Steve who now had the baby in his arms.

Gail rolled her eyes. What was it a game of pass the parcel?

Everyone shifted nervously as Elaine Peck stood in front of Steve and smiled at the baby swinging it's now free arms about. "Oh, aren't you a cutie?"

Gail understood as one by one some of the others said their goodbyes after coming over to them to congratulate them on their daughter.

And then it was just them Elaine, Steve, Traci and Leo, who had enough smarts to come over and stay by Gail and Holly.

Elaine pulled out her cell phone. "Let me get a quick picture of you two and send it over to your father, he going to love seeing his son and his granddaughter together." She said before snapping a few pictures as Steve clearly struggled to keep the smile on his face.

"She'll be gone soon." Holly whispered to Gail as she tightened her hold on the blonde. Elaine Peck hadn't been happy with their marriage and still made a few comments here and there. That had only got worse when she had found out that Holly was pregnant. She just hadn't been able to hold back her sadness that Gail wouldn't have a child of her own, but what were lesbians to do?

Gail had told her rather smugly that Steve had offered his services as a donor.

Elaine was still coming to terms with that fact.

Elaine snapped another picture then put her phone away and leaned in to look at the child. Her granddaughter. "It's a shame she doesn't look like a Peck, but then mixed-race children are all the rage these days."

Gail's eyes narrowed as she almost leapt at her mother. "At least she won't burn after five minutes outside in summer." She muttered, annoyed with herself for even giving a reaction.

Traci shifted away from Steve and Elaine and came over to stand with her son, clearly not pleased with the comment either. Steve however was still playing the dutiful son and kept his face expressionless as his mother stuck a finger out and touched a waving hand.

"Are you still adopting?" Elaine asked, as she gave her daughter a pointed look. "I mean you are still related after all but it would probably be best for all concerned to have it all right and legal. Just in case."

Gail felt Holly's fingers bit into her arm. "You haven't told her?" Holly hissed in her ear.

"Why would I tell her anything?" Gail answered back. She'd did her best to try with the woman but she wasn't going to go out of her way to include her mother in anything anymore. If she found out she found out but Gail was beyond caring what the woman's opinion was.

Elaine huffed as Gail didn't reply. "And she doesn't look too premature." She continued eyeing Holly for a long moment before she reached over and took the baby from Steve.

Steve smiled as he took his own cell out and captured the moment then sent the picture to both his mother and his father.

Gail rolled her eyes as her mother started cooing and making baby noises. Again, while she couldn't be positive the woman did claim to have birthed her and Steve although there was no real proof of that fact, but she gave the women the benefit of the doubt and trusted her with her daughter.

For now.

Holly grinned as she watched on. "How does it feel to be a grandmother?" She asked.

Elaine ignored the comment, concentrating on the bundle of new life in her arms. "That's right, you're a Peck, can you say that? Can you say Peck?"

"Stewart actually." Gail informed her mother with a gleeful expression until Holly pinched her under her arm making her squirm.

"Nonsense." Elaine said as she froze and stared at Gail. She then eyed Steve but he held his hands up and stayed out of it. "She's a Peck, just like you Gail."

"Well no, because I'm a Stewart as well, that's what happens when you get married mother." Gail said, although the fact her mother didn't take her marriage to Holly seriously was still a sore point with everyone.

Taking Holly's last name was something Holly often teased Gail about, claiming jokingly that it was the only reason she had asked in the first place.

It was also one of the reasons Traci wasn't in a rush to marry Steve although she had accepted his proposal over the holiday's just past.

Elaine scowled at her daughter.

"Okay, well, visiting has been over for a while and the baby needs to be fed so..." A nurse said as she bustled into the room and not too subtly held the door open to encourage the extended family to leave.

Elaine looked set to protest but Gail had already got off the bed and come over for the baby. "Well, do you have a name yet at least?" She asked Holly directly.

Holly shook her head. "Not yet."

Elaine crossed her arms looking less than pleased. "When you do then, if you would let me know."

"Of course." Holly replied. She wasn't going to tell the woman but she was sure someone else would.

Traci put her hand on her son's shoulder and tried to guide him to the door after she dropped a kiss to Holly's cheek and wished them all well and told her she would be back when she could.

"But I haven't held her." Leo protested.

Gail eyed the boy then looked to see if Holly was okay with it, her wife nodded.

She ignored the snort of disbelief from her mother as she stood in front of Leo. "Well then, better hop up on the bed for a quick minute champ."

Leo's face lit up and with Traci's help took up the spot Gail had left vacant beside Holly, his legs swinging excitedly off the bed.

"Now hold your hands out, just like that." Traci instructed before moving to let Gail step in and gently exchange possession.

"There you go little man." Gail said with a grin as she kept her hand close and Holly held a hand to Leo's back and her other helped Leo steady the baby's neck. "Say hello to your cousin." Gail continued as she shared a wide grin with the boy who then looked down at the baby in awe.

Traci chuckled before quickly taking out her cell phone and took a couple of pictures.

But it wasn't long before the baby started to cry and Gail took her back as Traci helped Leo down.

"I think that's our cue." Traci said before kissing the baby then Gail.

"Call us tomorrow." Steve said as he placed his hand on the small of Traci's back and they all left.

The nurse eyed the white shirted officer wondering if she thought she was special.

Gail tried to keep her giggling under control at that and so did Holly.

Elaine kept her head up and took her time. She would not be rushed out the door by anyone. "I should get back to work. Girls."

And with that she departed.

The nurse flicked the sign on the door then closed it to give the new family privacy.

Gail reached over for her own cell phone and snapped a few pictures of Holly and the baby now that it was more alert and active. She then sent one out to all her contacts with the note 'It's a girl!' just underneath.

"Ready?" The nurse asked as she hovered at the other side of the bed.

Holly looked unsure for the first time tonight.

"It's easy." The nurse said and stroked the baby's cheek, the baby instinctively turned to that side with her mouth opening eager for something.

Gail tried not to smirk.

"See, they know exactly what to do." The nurse continued. She then tugged at the loose fitting top Holly had changed into once she had been cleaned up after the birth. "Need some help?"

"Lean forward a bit." Gail said before helping to lift the top up enough that Holly's breasts were exposed. The blonde felt a twinge at having her wife naked in full view of the nurse but she did her best to tell herself that the nurse saw breasts every day at work.

Holly leaned back holding the baby as Gail kept her hand around her back to hold the tee out of the way.

"Great!" The nurse enthused as she placed a pillow under Holly's arm as she held the baby to her breast. "This will help, it can get a little tiring but you'll get used to it. And we'll switch sides too."

Gail watched Holly try to encourage the baby to latch on but she didn't seem to get the right idea, too busy screeching to realise that her dinner was right there. "Poor thing." She muttered then tried the trick the nurse had used and it seemed to work as the baby's mouth searched for Holly's nipple.

"Do you mind if I?" The nurse asked but Holly quickly shook her head wanting all the help she could get. The nurse then lifted Holly's breast and rubbed the nipple against the baby's mouth and just like that the baby latched on perfectly and started sucking away. "See, a natural." The nurse informed the parents with a smile as she stepped back from the young family. "If there's any problems feel free to buzz me and I'll come back and help you switch sides in a bit."

Gail grinned at the nurse as she left then her eyes were drawn back down to her nursing daughter.

"This feels so weird." Holly muttered as she stared down at the baby suckling her.

With her eyes slightly teary Gail pressed her lips to Holly's head and cuddled around her as she watched. "I think it's amazing." She whispered.

Holly grinned, looking up at the blonde for a moment then back down at their daughter whose hand was now holding her breast as she happily had her first meal of her short life.

"Natural huh?" Gail asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. Now that they were alone a little teasing was definitely called for. "That's my girl." She praised the baby as she heard Holly chuckle.

"I don't think it's the same thing Gail." Holly replied finally.

Gail shrugged not even embarrassed enough to blush. "Well no I guess not." She admitted. "Does it hurt?" She asked curiously as she watched the baby continue to suck on Holly.

Holly thought about it. It wasn't really painful so hurt wasn't the right word but it definitely was going to take some getting used to. "Well it's not like when you do it." She said teasingly and this time Gail did blush.

Gail groaned and buried her head against Holly's shoulder.

"No it doesn't hurt, but it sort of tugs? Like I said the sensation is a little weird, but not bad or painful." Holly explained.

"That's good I guess." Gail replied. They had both wanted Holly to breast feed the baby for as long as possible so it sounded like that wouldn't be too much trouble for Holly. Gail settled against the bed and started to relax, it had been a very long day with Holly going into labour late last night and the birth not taking place for hours after that.

"Tired?" Holly asked softly. The baby was happy, she was happy if somewhat uncomfortable down below, but overall it had been a very good day now that they were finally alone at the end of it with their new daughter.

"Hm." Gail shifted Holly's top back down around the baby to cover them while she fed. She didn't feel like she had much right to complain but she was looking forward to relaxing and getting some sleep. "How are you feeling?" She deflected.

"Happy." Holly replied as she gave Gail a full grin and Gail smiled back at her. "And more than a little terrified." She then admitted with an embarrassed chuckle.

"Oh yeah, have you met Izzy?" Gail asked as she shook her head. She then reached under Holly's top and tugged at the baby's foot. "We're going to lock you up until your thirty, yes we are, yes we are."

Holly gave her wife a tolerant look knowing it was highly probably that her wife would have to be talked out of wearing her uniform the first time a boy turned up for a date with their daughter.

Gun in hand.

She chuckled and adjusted the baby against her. It was still slightly odd but she was getting used to the feeling. "Can we just agree on a name first before we worry about suitors trying to deflower our beautiful, innocent little girl?"

Gail's eyes widened then she narrowed them at her wife who couldn't contain her laughter any longer. "So mean, you hear what your mother just said to me Ivy? Hm?"

Holly bit her lip. The name was growing on her but she really was worried it would lead to teasing.

"You really like that name, don't you?"

Gail looked a little bashful as she shrugged. "I have my Holly, and now we have our Ivy."

Holly closed her eyes and considered. "Peyton." She had dismissed the other names when she put them with Stewart.

"Ivy." Gail repeated with a pout.

Holly sighed then pressed her lips to Gail's. "Peyton Ivy Stewart."

"Pis?" Gail asked thinking her wife couldn't be serious.

Holly rolled her eyes. Like anyone would call her that. "She'll pick one as she gets older, she'll either want to be called Peyton or Ivy. And she'll only ever hear her full name when she's in trouble." Then Holly gave that some thought. "And given she's biologically yours that could be a whole lot."

"Oh." Gail smirked. "Low blow, and I was never that much trouble."

Holly snorted. "That's not what Steve says."

"He exaggerates."

"Not according to your dad."

Gail scowled. "Traitors."

"Maybe they thought I needed fair warning before we got you pregnant." Holly grinned. "They did seem overly relieved when we announced I was the one carrying the baby." She reminded her wife.

"Whatever." Gail dismissed the comparison for the moment anyway. It would be a while before this one provided evidence one way or the other. "But what we could do, is call her Peyton but put it down as her middle name." She explained her solution to Holly.

Holly chuckled as she felt the baby pull away from her and fuss. She glanced at Gail as she shifted the baby around to her other breast. Gail helped to try and get her to latch on properly and after crying for a time the baby's mouth closed successfully around her other nipple and she happily resumed her mealtime activities.

"Totally amazing." Gail said softly as she watched their daughter feed, her finger touching the thin strands of dark hair on her head. She was a week early but her mother had been right, she really didn't look premature at all.

Which was good because it meant they'd get to take her home soon.

Holly nodded as she worked the baby free of the blanket and with Gail's help settled her more comfortably against her body.

"What do you think Ivy Peyton Stewart, are we ready for you?" Holly asked looking down at her daughter as she kicked her now free legs against her.

Gail tried not to grin too much on hearing the name switch. Instead she pressed her lips to Holly's cheek and when her wife turned to look at her she leaned forward for a proper kiss.

"I don't know Holly, we're you ready for me?" Gail asked softly.

Holly stared down at their daughter who once more started to fuss and kick out all her limbs. She looked back at Gail with a wry grin. "I don't think anyone is ever ready for you sweetheart."

Gail's smile blossomed. Maybe Holly hadn't been ready for her exactly, but they'd both made it through those early days and they had made it this far.

They'd made a home together, a marriage, and now they had the start of their family.

"It's going to be awesome." Gail whispered as the baby slowly stilled its movements now it was happily sated with a full belly.

Holly grinned and closed her eyes as she rested back in the bed. It had been a long day but here they were at the end of it, just the three of them.

"We're so not ready." She admitted to Gail.

Gail gave Holly a look to see how serious she was. Holly just stared back at her until they both broke out into laughter that started little Ivy Peyton Stewart off again as she wailed at them for disturbing her peace.

"So, so not ready." Gail agreed as she swooped the baby up in her arms and moved off the bed to try and soothe her back to sleep.

Holly watched on from her spot on the bed. She felt her heart swell as she watched Gail with their daughter.

They might not be ready, but they'd do just fine.
