When Gail wakes up the next morning she believes that the day before just was a dream. That's till she turns in her bed to face her nightstand where she sees Holly's kem-book and notebook is laying, which gives Gail a big smile realizing it wasn't just a dream and she gets to see her girlfriend again today. This is probably the first time ever she actually looks forward to go to school. She gets up to get ready for school still with a big smile on her mouth.
When Gail comes in to the kitchen she sees the rest of the Peck family is already at the table eating breakfast, when Steve looks at her direction and sees her.
"Good morning" Gail says with a smile at the same time takes a seat at the table opposite side of Steve with her dad to her right on the end and Elaine beside Steve.
"Look someone is in a good mood to day"
"Steve" Elaine says with a voice to remember him not to say too much in front of Bill till Gail told him about her and Holly. This makes Steve mouthing a sorry to both Elaine and Gail.
"Well, I do have my moments" Gail gives back partly to cover Elaine's comment to Steve.
"Not often enough" Steve says.
"You better starting getting used to it"
"He I right though and you have been since you came home from camp" Bill points out.
"Yeah, there's a reason for that dad." Gail takes a deep breath before continuing "I'm kind of seeing someone" Gail says quietly, not sure she wants to tell him yet.
"Holly"
Three heads turns to look at Bill, while Elaine and Steve just looks at Bill, Gail turn head to the other two also to see if one of them told him, but by their reaction she realize he knew without any of them telling him. Gail looks back at Bill slowly and gives him a small nod.
"I guess you thought I didn't catch your comment last night, I did though. But that only confirmed my suspicion" he says looking Gail in the eyes. "I saw how you were looking at her, and Holly at you, at dinner and the way you defended her when I asked her about what happened" he continued. Gail was now looking down at the table, Elaine and Steve they were quietly watching and listening to Bill and Gail at this point. After a few seconds Bill stood up Gail was expecting him to leave the room instead he took the seat beside Gail turned himself towards Gail and waited for her to look at him. When Gail eventually turned to look at him prepared to defend herself, instead she saw a warm small smile from Bill.
"Gail, I understand that you had wanted to tell me yourself without me figuring it out on my own" getting a small nod for answer. "But at the same time I'm glad I did, because then you don't have to. Am I surprised that you have a girlfriend, no not really. Did I have to let this sink in during night, definitely not. Gail I'm just happy that you have someone in your life that means more than a friend in your life and if that's Holly I'm glad, she seems really nice." Gail how has let her eyes fall down to the floor during Bill's talk goes back up to his eyes and she just she warmth in them. They sit like that in silence for a minute or two before Gail gives him a smile knowing he is more than okay about her she leans forward and gives him a big hug. "Hang on to her Gail" he whispers to her so only she can hear him. "That's my plan and thanks" she answers him with a whisper and they let go of one another.
Bill doesn't go back to his usually place at the table he just reaches for hos coffee mug and bowl of cereals and sandwich.
After when all of them finish breakfast Gail realizes all three of them found/figured out without her actually telling them.
"You realis all of you found out about Holly without me telling you"
"Yep, you can't hide things from us Gail you know that" Steve teases her.
"Wait a second, you didn't tell Steve" Elaine asks and Gail shakes her head as a no. "Then how" she asks Steve.
"And don't say any of my friends they don't know its Holly, yet" Gail says quickly. Elaine and Bill look at Steve, waiting for an answer.
"Well, kind of found out when I picked you up at camp" he says. Gail takes a second then remembers that Holly already left when Steve got there.
"Holly had already left when you got there, because you were late"
"Yeah, not exactly, I was there already when you two said goodbye. I was on the phone for a while and was parked at the end of the parking lot and when I looked up to see if you were there I saw you and Holly" Steve says embarrassed.
"Mom can I punch him"
"Let me" Elaine say and smacks him on the back of his head. "Not nice, to spy on you sister" Gail starts to laugh and Bill joins her.
"Sorry" Steve says to Gail.
"Well, I'll get back at you when you least expect it" she replay, then she takes a deep breath and breath out and says "Feels good that you all know about Holly and I okay about it" at the same time she feels a few pounds lighter.
"Glad we know" Bill says and gets an agreeing nod from both Elaine and Steve. "We're just happy that you're happy" he continues.
The doorbell goes off when they cleaning of the table after breakfast, Gail go to open the door. Behind the door she finds Holly with as big smile as Gail.
"Hey" Gail says a takes a step forward to great her with a kiss.
"Hey"
"'morning Holly" Steve pips in.
"You really know how to ruining a moment don't you." Holly says
"You already said that" Gail says
"Yeah well that was last night and I have a felling it won't be the last time" Holly says with a knowing look at Steve.
"Probably, but now I'm off to school" Steve answers. "See you"
"I'm just going to get out books in my room and we're off"
"Our?"
"You forgot you kem-books here last night"
Before they had said goodnight and Gail went back to her house last night, they agreed on Holly coming to Gail's house in the morning so they could walk to school together since it is on the way for her.
They walk hand in hand for a minute before Gail says with a bit teasing in her voice "You have only been here for a day and you already forgetting you stuff at my house, where is this going to end"
"Never I hope"
"Good answer" they look at each other and smile. "Dad knows about us" she is half blurring out to Holly.
"Wait what. Since"
"Apparently since dinner yesterday and he did hear me say girlfriend too witch just confirmed it to him."
"Wow, so they know now. How did he take it"
"Good, I don't think we ever have had that much feeling talk during breakfast ever. I also found out how Steve found out it ended with mum giving him a slap on his head"
"Eventful morning"
When they reached the school Holly gave Gail a small peck before saying "see you later" and went to her class and Gail to hers. Knowing they could talk later about all that happen the last twenty-four hours. Both walked to their separate class daydreaming
