Disclaimer: I own nothing

A bit of good fun with all female characters and some of Holly's relations.

Oh and someone wanted to know what Jocks were. Aussie for men's briefs. The other version is a sports person.

Just so you know I am on Holidays. Wrote these in advance. Have just been playing with them so I can post them and you didn't have to wait three weeks for a new post. Not 100% happy. Have rewritten the ending like 10 times but oh well. Sorry if you find any mistakes I've read it so many times I am cross eyed.

Reviews would be nice.

When the Stewarts or the Carters wanted something they usually got it. So when it came to celebrating Holly's 35th birthday and she wanted to go to a local restaurant for dinner and then on to a lesbian bar, then that's what they did.

They booked out Rock Lobster on Queen Street West and all crammed in the rustic Restaurant. Gail and Andy were the last ones to arrive after having to work a later day shift and got held up. People automatically saved a seat beside Holly for when Gail arrived. Holly rolled her eyes at Hayley who was fiercely guarding the seat next to her, telling all the family it was taken. Gail's friends Chloe, Dov, Chris, Steve, Traci, Leo (who called her Aunt Holly much to everyone's delight and gave her a hug) Oliver and Celery were there. Even Nick was there with a girl he had found on an online dating service. She was nice and fit in with them all. She was an EMT. Steve and Traci sat closest to her family as they knew them the best. The cops in them had them taking up residence closest to the door.

Her parents were there, her sister and brothers, some cousins that didnt live in the USA. Lisa and Rachel were there too, seated on one side of her and regaling her mother and her aunt Janice with all their medical stories. Drinks were served, some interesting looking cocktails had been ordered.

Gail and Andy arrived to many cheers from the hungry clan who were waiting to eat. Gail rolled her eyes and hurried over to her lover, ignoring everyone as she leant in and planted a firm open mouthed kiss on waiting willing lips. When she finally pulled back everyone was wolf whistling and calling out for them to get a room. Gail would like nothing more than a repeat of this mornings romp but Holly wanted to go out so they were going out.

She turned when she felt a tap on her shoulder and found Hayley standing there holding out a beer. She took it gratefully and had a long scull as she took a seat next to her lover and across from Andy. She wasn't at all surprised to see Hayley and Andy sitting together. She had watched their interaction closely over the last couple of months. Although Hayley was a chronic flirter and Andy sometimes gave it good back they had remained platonic. Andy seemed to have genuine fun with Hayley and vice versa. Gail and Holly had hung out and had pizza with them a couple of times and gone to some of Hayley's games. Man could she play. Last week she had taken Andy off probation with Holly's approval who had mellowed towards Andy after spending time with her.

Gail turned to the menu and her gaze froze on the lobster mac and cheese. Oh fuck yeah. The lobster roll looked good too. Nah, mac and cheese. She would get a burger later if she was still hungry.

"Let me guess, Mac and Cheese" Nicola, Holly's sister stirred her from her left. Gail sent her a wink and Nic laughed. "Holly only has to cook you cheese products for the rest of her life. Nice easy meals"

"Are you teasing Gail about cheese again?" Holly laughed

"She's so predictable. Mac and cheese for our cheese addict"

"Well at least when we have kids meals will be easy" Holly giggled when Gail choked on her beer. She loved teasing her lover about kids. Gail was brilliant with them, she had seen it and heard about it. Any job with a kid they sent Gail and Gail was always the first to babysit Leo.

"Just shut up all of you" Gail growled glaring at anyone in ear shot that dared laugh at her predicament and turned to Holly "you gotta wait for a ring first"

"Well hurry up and ask already, I'm getting impatient" Holly rolled her eyes then turned to Rachel who enquired what she was having leaving Gail to gape after her.

"She told you" Hayley chuckled from across the table and Gail glared at her

"Mind you're own business. I don't see you with a girlfriend" she spat out and Watched as Hayley shrugged

"Eh I'm only young, plenty of time to play the field yet"

"Oh, any takers?" Gail asked seeing an opportunity to turn the spotlight onto Hayley

"Gail I'm a jock, there are always takers. What happens in the locker rooms stays in the locker rooms"

"You're so full of shit" Andy rolled her eyes causin Gail to laugh and Hayley to look offended "you're never in the locker room long enough or if its that quick I feel sorry for your conquests"

"My conquests have never complained" Hayley muttered

"That you know of" Andy chuckled and Gail shook her head. Hayley appeared to be the confidant type, whoever gained her attention for whatever amount of time was sure to be in for a pleasurable time.

Luckily for Hayley one of the waitresses arrived at their table to ask if they were ready to order. In the end Gail ordered the mac and cheese and lobster roll (so she was hungry), Holly got the Lobster Supper, Hayley the surf and turf and Andy a lobster roll too. Gail took note that Rachel and Lisa ordered a seafood tower called The Boss. It was $99 and had lobster, crab, prawns and oysters. Good luck to them. They were still on probation. Actually it was more of a cease fire for now.

They sat back and talked, Gail and Andy sharing some fun incidents that happened through the day, Holly reminding them she had a relaxing day at home and it sucked Gail had to work. Not her fault as the flu had ripped through the station and they had been called in to help. At least they had gotten the chance to have birthday sex this morning and she had been able to give Holly her present. A special made necklace with handcuff pendant and her number stamped on it. She had Thought it corny and not good enough when Holly had stared at it but her lover had demanded she wear it straight away. A quick look from Gail showed the brunette still had it on.

People started to get up and mingle at the bar and seeing Oliver there she downed her drink, enquired if anyone else wanted one and headed to the bar

"Hey Oli" she smiled as she sidled up next to him. He turned to her with a big grin

"Hey girl" he opened his arms and she stepped in to share a hug "having a good time?"

"Nights still young Oli, ask me in a couple of hours" she rolled her eyes "not bad so far. You?"

"It's good, I'm glad we were invited. A bit put out Andy gets to sit at your table" he teased and she laughed

"That's Hayley's doing" she pointed at Hayley sitting next to Andy "She's Holly cousin. You remember at my birthday they helped sneak us out so we could go home?" She looked at Oliver again and saw the moment he realised why the other blonde looked familiar "yeah well they've been friends ever since. Hang out."

"Andy turned gay too?"

"Hardly" Gail laughed "much to Hayley's disappointment. They're just friends" she shrugged "hence why Andy is at our table"

The bar tender came back with Oliver's orders of drinks and he paid for them "well just don't be a stranger tonight Peck, come say hello"

"I will" she nodded and watched him walk off with his order before placing hers. She returned to the table with the drinks and handed them over, giving Holly a kiss and promising to be back before wandering down to talk to her friends and colleagues, Andy following her not long after, dragging Hayley with her to introduce her to everyone.

Holly watched her lover with her friends at the far end table. While still snarky at times she no longer had the brick wall up expecting to be hurt. Even her relationship with Steve had blossomed. Everyone that knew Gail always thanked her for that. Watching her lover now her breath caught at how beautiful she was as she laughed at something Nicks new girlfriend said and they high fived. Poor Nick, looked like joke was on him.

A tap on her wrist had her turning back to her friends Rachel and Lisa. While still on probation they had mellowed towards Gail. Especially when they saw how much Gail had been accepted by her family.

"Damn girl if this was a cartoon your eyes would be bulging and your heart would be beating out of your chest" Lisa stirred and Holly couldn't help but smile.

"I love her" she shrugged

"Yeah, I can finally see that" Lisa nodded

"Me too" Rachel didnt want to be outdone "and her love for you is very obvious"

"I can't believe it's been nearly a year since we met, seems like yesterday she called me lunchbox" Holly smiled and blew a kiss at Gail when she looked over. Gail winked back "I can't wait to spend my life with her"

"Wow that sounds serious" Lisa appeared shocked "it's too soon surely"

"Can I be you're bridesmaid?" Rachel asked cheekily.

"Oh yes I'm sure Gail will love having you two in the wedding party" Holly stated and then laughed at their startled looks "besides we might elope and save the hassle"

"Like hell" Nicola who had plopped herself in Gail's seat to eavesdrop stated and Holly spun to stare at her sister while flushing "you know mother has been looking at bridal magazines secretly for months, even since they met Gail"

"Oh God" Holly groaned, she could just imagine her mother dragging them to every bridal shop in the city to try on dresses. Gail was going to kill her "no, I'm wearing a suit"

"Really?" Came three surprised replies

"Gail wears dresses, all the time. I want to see her in a dress and walking towards me" Holly nodded just imagining it. Oh yeah, her lover would look stunning.

"Well that's something you better discuss with your woman. Once one of you gets your shit together and proposes" Nic teased and then saw the waitress heading their way with some food "oh look, foods here, I'm starving"

Holly was left sitting wondering just what was going on and how much her family had been plotting her marriage recently. Rachel and Lisa were being suspiciously quiet too. As Gail approached Holly watched her closely, had she said something to her family, was she organising something?

"What?" Gail asked as she sat "do I have froth on my face?" She wiped her mouth with her hand and Holly continued to stare. Staring always did it, if Gail was hiding a secret she always broke after a stare down. When Gail became even more confused Holly realised she had no secrets at all.

"No, I just like looking at you"

"You're such a nerd" Gail rolled her eyes but leant in for a quick kiss, pulling back when a waitress placed her meal in front of her and the aroma hit her. "Yum"

"Why thankyou" Holly winked and Gail smirked

"Yeah you too but I was talking about dinner" she teased and had Holly rolling her eyes as she turned to her Mac and cheese and lobster roll. What to have first? Mac and cheese. She looked around and groaned when she realised not everyone on their table had food yet, especially not Holly. Not for long though as her eyes bugged when Holly's came out on a big tray. Holy wow. "Try not to get it down the front of you"

"I'm sure you'll enjoy licking it off if I do" Holly shot back causing Hayley to choke on her beer

"Whoa TMI" she complained

"Just cause you're not getting any" Holly raised an eyebrow

"Who says I'm not?" Hayley growled. Really, Gail thought, haven't we covered this?

"Cause Andy's too smart to fall for your charm" Holly chuckled causing Hayley to blush and glare at her cousin.

Andy froze when all eyes turned to her from around the table, she had been busy salivating over her roll and waiting for others to be served, minding her own business.

"What? Keep me out of this. I just got off probation" she complained and shot Hayley a look. Her poor friend was being picked on tonight "I'm straight not blind, you'll make some girl happy...One day" she added to the teasing.

"Oh will everyone just shut up and eat already" Hayley grumbled and turned to her surf and turf. Andy grinned and gave her a shoulder bump before finally picking up her roll. Gail dug into her macaroni and cheese and Holly took a second to look at her family and friends and realise how blessed she was.

Gail turned to her quizzically seeing her looking around.

"What is it love?"

"Nothing" Holly smiled "just happy everyone's here" then turned to her lobster wondering what she was going to attack first.

Gail practically rolled out of the restaurant. She was so stuffed. She just wanted to go home and sleep. After some sex. But it was on to a lesbian club. Joy. Loud music, dancing and drunk women trying to hit on her girl.

Once everyone had piled out it was time to say goodbye to the men who were off to a sports bar or strip club or something (lucky bastards).

All the aunts and older generation women were off to someone's house, probably to have coffee, tattle on their men or plan their grand kids or something, which left Holly, her female cousins, her friends and Gail's colleagues to go out. Andy, Traci and Chloe were looking forward to their gay nightclub experience. Gail just hoped they didn't embarrass the shit out of her and turned to Nicks new girlfriend, rolling her eyes as everyone hugged goodbye. After some coaxing they managed to convince Celery to come with them too.

Gail suffered through hugs from Cameron who still called her Pixie, Laura, Nicola and Holly's brothers. Then they beat a hasty retreat while trying to organise who was driving whom in who's car and where were they heading. Hayley had picked the club, one she frequented often, had good dancers, great music and modest prices.

Hayley drove her, Holly, Andy and Celery in her car as Gail had promised Celerys personal safety to Oliver. Hayley drove slow enough for people to follow even though she had given the address. There was a 24hr parking garage near to the club and they all parked there together. Gail rose a surprised brow when Hayley took a large backpack out of the back of her car but didnt mention anything as she led them all back out onto the street and down to a large two story brick building with a rainbow over the front door.

Holly had never heard of the club before and hoped Hayley wasn't bringing them to some dive as they lined up to go in. Stepping up behind Gail she wrapped her hands around her waist and snuggled in.

"Thank you for coming out tonight, I know you just want to go home" she whispered in her lovers ear. Gail shrugged her shoulders and leant back into her

"I know we don't get out much and it's what you want to do" she sighed "it's your birthday"

"Still, thank you" Holly pressed a kiss to her temple "I love you"

"Love you too nerd"

The line moved in progressively. Gail, Holly and Andy rose a brow at Hayley when the woman taking money for entry smiled when she saw Hayley and gave her a big hug.

"Jesus woman where have you been, Jens been despairing" the woman said and they watched Hayley give a cocky smile

"Been a while, been busy with soccer and finals" she informed "I'll see Jen soon" Hayley pointed them out, more specifically Holly "this is my cousin Holly, it's her birthday. Dragged her, her girl Gail and some friends here"

"As you should" the woman charged them $10 entry fee each and stamped their hand, Gail grumbled this place better be worth $10. As they left the entry and moved into the club her mouth opened in shock. The place was huge, two story with overhanging balconies. Even at this early hour the place was half packed, the dance floor full of gyrating female bodies in front of a DJ doing her thing.

There were dancers performing on stages all around the lower floor, mostly naked dancers. There were tables and chairs in the middle of the room and booths on the outside. Oh yeah, Gail could get to like this place. Did she mention the dancers were half naked. And hot. Not as hot as Holly though as she turned back to her girlfriend to find her doing her own staring.

Looking around their small group she noticed just about everyone was staring in some form of awe. Hayley led them on then, leading them towards a set of stairs. A big burley butch woman dressed all in black with security written across her shirt was guarding the stairs. Upon seeing Hayley she grinned and removed the rope that clearly had a sign hanging off it saying VIP. Hayley hugged the Amazonian and then held out her hand to be stamped again. Then they were ushered through, getting their hands stamped on the way and climbing the stairs.

Gail looked around once they were up there, things were a bit quieter and here you had large circular booths that could sit large parties. They were situated all around the upper level with views downstairs. Only a couple were taken. There was also a large bar, nowhere near as busy as the one downstairs and a few dancers were dancing around the place. Her eyebrows rose when she saw one dancer giving a patron a lap dance. Oh God.

Hayley finally made her way up the stairs and to the front of the group again, pointing to a large booth in a darkened corner of the room. Gail was about to head for it when she heard a squeal over the music and turned to find a dancer running full tilt at Hayley. As the gorgeous red head threw herself at Hayley Gail moved closer to Holly and said

"Guess that must be Jen"

"My cousin has a bit of explaining to do" Holly shouted back and Gail looked over at Andy who looked half shocked half bemused at finding Hayley and the red head in a lip lock. Wtf? Finally Hayley disengaged and blowing a kiss the red head wandered off.

Hayley turned to find everyone staring at her, not least her cousin. She grinned and shouted "told you I was a jock" before leading her stunned party towards the booth that was specifically saved for her and her friends as well as the soccer team. "Have a seat, i'll be right back" and they watched her disappear towards the rest rooms.

Holly watched her cousin leave slightly in shock. Did she know her at all? VIP lounge in a rocking lesbian club/strip club and making out with a red headed dancer. Which was definitely not the first time. Shaking her head she let Gail guide her to a seat and then requested a bourbon and coke when asked what she wanted to drink.

She desperately needed it as others started to join her, sitting around the booth. Gail, Nicola, Lisa and Rachel were at the bar shouting the first round of drinks. Slowly stilted conversation started up and Holly started to relax, Gail returning with her drink and sculling half helped too as she cuddled up to her lover

Soon after she caught sight of Andy sitting up straight and staring in open mouthed shock. She wasn't the only one that noticed and they all turned as one towards where She was staring. Holly felt her mouth drop in shock. Was that her cousin? God she looked Good, bad, badass. No wonder she had women falling at her feet.

She had changed her clothes so she was wearing all black, black jeans, black button up which was only just buttoned modestly, a black leather jacket and big chunky black boots. To finish off the outfit her hair was in a loose pony tail with a fedora perched on top, and some large chunky men's jewellery.

"Jesus" Holly turned to Gail who was staring at Hayley and hit her

"Hey"

"What?" Gail blinked and looked at Holly "oh you know I love you but I just realised why Hayley is always so cocky about women chasing her" they watched as Hayley handed her bag over to the bartender and ordered a drink, leaning over the bar and having jeans pull tight "the girl is walking sex on legs. If Andy can resist that tonight she ain't human" they shot a look at Andy who was still staring open mouthed in shock. "Yeah she's a gonner"

The woman in question was staring. Yeah she was in shock. Who was this woman and what had she done with sporty Hayley? She could only watch as Hayley turned from the bar with a beer and a cocktail and walked towards them. Hayley's green eyes locked on hers but she couldn't move, just continued to stare as she strolled past with a wink and deposited the cocktail in front of Holly aware all eyes were on her.

"You ladies enjoy now. I'll be back later once I've caught up with my girls" she told them and turned to leave. She paused besides Andy and using two fingers gently closed her mouth before leaning down and whispering in the brunettes ear "still straight Andy?" Then knowing she had just given the woman a good eyeful straightened and walked off.

Everyone watched her go, walking towards some dancers who grinned when they saw her, jumping off the stage and running towards her. Each one earned a hug and a kiss each as they literally dragged her back to the stage and used her as a live prop to dance around. Some very R rated dancing.

"Ok I take it back. She's a jock, she definitely has no problems getting laid" Gail chuckled then laughed harder when Andy glared at her "Too bad you're straight Andy. Something tells me Hayley would be a great romp"

"Pushing it if you want sex tonight" Holly informed as she sipped the rather pleasant cocktail. Blueberries, she definitely tasted blueberries. Of course she suspected it was lethal too so she would definitely stick with just this one.

"For Andy, she seriously needs to get laid" Gail teased and Andy flipped her the bird and determinedly turned her back on Hayley and her antics picking up her beer and sculling it. "So who feels like dancing?" She shouted.

Holly sat snuggled in Gail's arms, that cocktail more potent than she expected and she was desperately trying to sober up and was on water and bar snacks. Celery was still sitting nearby talking to Nicks girlfriend. The rest had pretty much shot off downstairs with Andy to dance and had been gone an hour. Half an hour ago they had peeked over the balcony to find them all dancing in a group in the middle of the dance floor having the time of their lives.

Hayley was still with all the dancers, she seemed content and at last count had received 4 lap dances, all of them from the red head.

Gail seemed to be preoccupied with kissing her neck and was driving her crazy. If she didn't take it easy Holly was going to drag her off to the rest rooms soon. She should really be dancing but she was too scared if she stood up the room was going to spin. Instead she distracted herself by turning so Gail's focus was on her mouth and not her neck, moaning into the kiss and suddenly wishing she decided on a quiet night at home.

God the things Gail could do with her mouth. Wicked things, things that turned her on just thinking about it. She opened her mouth wide, letting Gail's tongue spear inside and welcoming it with her own, sucking on it and scraping her teeth along it as it withdrew. She went to follow with her own tongue and frowned when Gail pulled back.

Aware of a presence beside them she looked up and found Hayley standing there laughing at her

"Save it for the bedroom you two"

"Says the girl who's had naked women riding her packer all night" Holly snorted

"Packer?" Gail asked confused and Holly pointed at her cousins crutch and the small bulge there

"Soft cock, worn by some butch"

"Oh my cousins girlfriend does that" Nicks girlfriend piped up "my cousin loves it"

"Chicks dig it" Hayley shrugged "will you please stop staring at my crutch, you're weirding me out" Everyone flushed and hastily looked away. Hayley shook her head and looked at Holly. "Water? Really?"

"That cocktail packed a punch" Holly shrugged "I want to be sober for later" she winked at Gail who blushed and looked away, not in embarrassment but at the sudden memories assailing her. Good lord, she squeezed her legs together tight.

"Good for you" Hayley nodded "now if you excuse me again I have someone to find"

"Hayley" Gail called out and the younger woman paused "if anything happens between you and Andy and I find out you're still fucking around with your strippers I will castrate you"

"Gail!" Holly warned

"No that's fair" Hayley assured her cousin before turning back to Gail "Andy is straight, she tells me often, but if a miracle did happen no one else could hold a candle" she informed the stunned listeners before walking off.

"Oh no" Holly groaned "I never realised"

"This might get complicated" Gail agreed

"What might?" Celery asked still staring after Hayley

"Duh, Andy and Hayley" Nicks girlfriend stated. What was her name again? Mel? Yeah that was it. "Gonna be fun to watch though. Wait until I tell Nick two of his exes are turned"

"Depends on whether you want to be his next ex" Gail informed her and watched Mel grimace.

"Ouch, good point"

Then in unison they all seemed to get the same idea and turned to look out over the balcony to see what was unfolding.

Downstairs Hayley honed in Andy like a heat seeking missile and headed towards her. She had wanted Andy to see the other side of her tonight, the part she usually didn't let close family and friends see. The part she wasn't ashamed of but knew most people wouldn't understand. The part Hayley really didnt want to be when Andy was around. Not so much the dress, or the confidence or wearing the packer. Even the girls were nice but she didn't want to be the part that was a player.

Pausing behind Andy she realised the others had seen her and soon Andy was spinning around, the smile wiping off her face as she was confronted with Hayley. Not what she wanted right now. Before she could protest Hayley grabbed her hand and was dragging her back towards the stairs. She turned to the others for help but they just waved. Traitors.

Once upstairs she was dragged past an open mouthed quartet and into the rest room. Just like the rest of the place it was large and luxurious and spotlessly clean.

"Alright enough of the caveman shit" Andy jerked her arm away.

"Just shut up and listen" Hayley growled and Andy was speechless. Really? "This is a part of me Andy, the real me. You've seen me on the soccer field, a jock, you've seen me as the nice cousin to Holly, the team mate and the friend. Well this is a part of me too. A packing butch Dom. I like who I am and I make no apologies for it"

"You're a player"

"No i am not." she paused when she remembered she had just called herself that. "Not anymore. Jen goes to my university. She's a cheerleader for the basketball team. She's studying to be a doctor. That was almost derailed last year when her father had a heart attack and bills almost crippled them. I got her this job to help pay bills."

"You got her the job?"

"I used to be bar manager. I quit when it clashed with studies. The family doesn't know. I worked because I wanted to and because just about everyone else needed to to get by. I wanted to fit in, not be the stand out rich kid. So yeah I got her the job. The others are students too, or single mums down on their luck. No I didn't get them their jobs but I didn't judge them for doing what was necessary to make ends meet. I have helped them by ordering lap dances and offering tips. I tried just giving them money but they're too proud"

"Lucky you" Andy snarked and Hayley sighed. Her and her dumb ideas. She should have thought this through more.

"I'm still me Andy. This is just another side of me, it doesn't get out much anymore but it still likes to occasionally. Honestly though I just like being the jock Hayley that hangs with Andy"

"Then why let this side out?" Andy growled.

"Cause chicks dig it. Just like tonight, everyone was staring, even Holly and Gail. I get attention even from straight chicks dressed like this" Hayley sighed and Andy looked confused. Clueless, the woman was absolutely clueless. "you're straight Andy. I thought it might get your attention"

Oh. Oooooh. Oh boy. Andy wasn't ready for this or the tension it might bring between her and Hayley.

"Dammit Hayley" she groaned. "I'm straight"

"I'm calling you on that" Hayley rolled her eyes "less than two hours ago you were slack jawed and drooling while staring down my top"

Busted. She had looked. Not like there had been anywhere else to look though. Now what to say?

"Hayley I am straight, I've never even contemplated it." Liar, a voice taunted in her head but she ignored it "Yeah you shocked me tonight, you shocked all of us. I didn't know butch Hayley existed. Jock Hayley yeah but butch is an all different ball game." She sighed and slumped back against the sinks "please don't do this to me, to us. I've enjoyed having a friend" she pleaded. She didn't want to deal with this now. She just wanted their friendship.

Hayley felt her heart sink. She had tried and failed. Maybe it had been too soon but dammit she noticed things, like Andy watching her, like Andy holding her hand or snuggling on the couch. Or like her letting her stay in bed with her when she came over. Guess she could kiss that goodbye. She should have waited, let Andy come to the realisation on her own.

"What if we forget the last couple of hours happened and I promised not to bring it up again. Could we still be friends?" She asked and dared to look up to find Andy watching her closely.

"Hayley you will always be my friend. I just Don't want to hurt you more than I already have. I warned you" Andy sighed knowing she had, that it must have taken Hayley a lot of guts to do what she did tonight, put herself out there.

"You did." Hayley swallowed down the hurt and tried to give a cocky grin, not sure if she pulled it off "you know me, always gotta push things" they stood awkwardly for a while wondering what to do next before she dared to take another punt "So friend. Hug?" She held out her arms and waited, seeing Andy's lips twitch and realising she hadn't lost her felt herself relax.

Andy might be stupid giving Hayley another chance when she had already ignored her once, but she was just too good a friend and had made her happy in a miserable time in her life. Pushing off the sink she walked forward the two steps and wrapped her arms around Hayley. Feeling all her tension drain away.

"You give the best hugs, no way I'm giving up those" she smiled when Hayley laughed then frowned when she felt something on her stomach that really shouldn't be there. Pulling back she looked down at the bulge in Hayley's jeans. "What is that?"

"Um a packer?" Hayley wondered how Andy would take that "I don't wear it around family"

"Ok. I've heard of those, never seen it though" Andy nodded and looked up as Hayley sighed in relief "why haven't you worn it before? And why not around family"

"Because I don't want to be judged" Hayley shrugged "Or explain why or what it's for or why I like wearing it" Andy stared at her slightly gobsmacked and a little pissed.

"Hayley I have never judged you and the few times I have met your family they have never shown any signs of judgement either. Is it something you want to do?"

"Yeah"

"Then do it. I'll support you. 100%". Andy assured her and Hayley stared at her in wonder

"What did I do to deserve you?" She asked incredulous and Andy grinned

"Just lucky I guess" she winked and Hayley laughed "We will talk about this more another time Ok, you can explain it all to me" At Hayleys nod she added "good now lets get back out to the others before they think I've murdered you or something" Hayley watched Andy amazed at the woman and grinned as she followed her out of the rest rooms and back outside where everyone was back sitting around the tables. There was a decided lack of chairs suddenly as the place was packed now it was getting later. Hayley sat and pulled Andy into her lap, just as she would have done before tonight's awkward episode. She hoped she hadn't lost ground despite what Andy said. Time would tell.

Holly watched Hayley and Andy together for the rest of the night to try and get a feel on where their relationship was going and whether Andy needed to go back on probation. Or she tried to as much as she could with Gail in a loving mood. Hands and lips wandered all night, whether they were seated upstairs or downstairs on the dance floor. The red head Jen had heard it was her birthday and had wanted to give her a lap dance. She had hightailed it pretty quick when Gail had growled. Holly had shot her lover a surprised look and Gail had informed her if she really wanted a lap dance she would give her one later. Everyone stopped and stared. Awkward. But Holly damn well was gonna hold Gail to it.

Others got lap dances, including Traci and Mel. Andy contemplated it but the thought of having any of Hayley's friends grinding into her, especially the red head, set her teeth on edge.

Holly stuck to water until she no longer felt the effects of whatever her cousin gave her. If she was going to be sober then Gail was going to be too. Everyone else apart from Hayley and maybe Celery got trashed. At one stage they all headed down to the dance floor together and Holly was worried they might piss a few people off with their drunken dancing. As it was the whole crowd ended up singing her happy birthday much to her embarrassment.

They didn't crawl out of the club but it was damn close and thankfully still dark at 5am. Several had messages from their other halves demanding they come home. Gail even had a few from Oliver asking where Celery was and if she was corrupting her. No one cared though, it wasn't often the roles were reversed and they staggered home to their men.

Gail, Holly and Hayley had to drive everyone home as they were the sober ones. Holly grumbling because it was her birthday. Gail reminded her it had been her decision which earned her a look. By the time Gail and Holly stumbled through the door after playing taxi it was after 6. They merely looked at each other and silently agreed sleep first and sex later before crashing into bed.
