Moving into the new house was so much fun. Gail and Holly kept it on the low and they wanted to enjoy every moment of it. But as it usually goes with what Gail wants, she didn't really get what she wanted. Andy heard her in the locker room talking to Holly and few moments later, they all knew they were moving somewhere. After the morning meeting with some of superior officers, Oliver invited her into his office.
''I have something for you…''
He handed her a small box and inside was a new name tag. Stewart, she loved it…
''So, little birdy told me you are moving….''
''Oh, so now you talk to birds? Oliver, you should keep that to yourself….I bet superintendent would love to know one of her senior officers is talking to birds…''
Oliver smiled at her. He loved how amazing and quick she was. Gail Peck was an officer he was so proud off. She grew the most since the rookie time. She was married to an amazing woman. She was doing so well at work and she was becoming the best cop she could be…and all that without her mother's support.
''O.K. Smart move… Andy told me you are moving…''
''Yes, we are…''
''Where?''
When she told him Oliver gave her a look she never saw before. His mouth was hanging open and his eyes were vide open.
''WHAT? How can you afford that? I know Holly earns more than you but still…''
''Holly has a house there…''
''Already?''
''Yes, it's the place where she grew up…''
''So, little Peck married an uptown girl?''
''Yes… No…. I had no idea where she lived…''
''If you say so…''
That weekend all of Gail's friends came to their apartment to help them move and settle after in the house. Oliver told them that they were moving and few minutes later, they were already making planes about helping. Holly came to the station to pick up Gail for lunch. As soon as she came, all of them gathered around her.
''We heard you were moving. We want to help.''
''Yes….Sure… O.K. You know where we live so you can….hm…. come around ten in the morning….''
McNally and Chloe were skipping how happy they were. Dove, Chris and Oliver were very curious what does their new place look like and how will the day go. Celery was in too. She promised to bring them junk food and that was big coming from a healthy food freak. They all cheered and were so happy and Gail wanted them dead in so many different cruel ways. That was supposed to be hers and Holly's thing. It was their moving in and putting things away process and they ruined it for her. Sometimes Gail really hated how nice Holly was to her friends. They knew how to take advantage of it. They wanted the way in into the house and Holly couldn't say no. Gail hated her at that moment. Chloe and Andy waved at them and left to have lunch.
''You have to learn to say no.''
She smirked at her.
''Do I?''
''Oh, shut up Holly…''
''I love you too…''
They had lunch in a small restaurant near the station and Gail got back to work an hour later. They had work until four and after that they were off. Holly picked her up at the station and they went shoping. Gail was getting better with her health so she got back to her crazy eating habbits. Holly was working on getting her to eat better, but it was not working that well for her. Gail was not ready to give up all the junk she ate.
''Gail…''
''Yes?''
''Today is a special date…''
''It is love…''
''Happy three weeks of marriage…''
Gail took her hand and kissed it.
''I love you so much…''
''I love you too baby… We should go out somewhere special…''
''We should?''
''Yes, and we shout refresh your memory how two women get ready for the date…''
''You'll never drop that?''
''No, it was one of the cutest moments…''
''You kissed me…''
''You were asking stupid things…''
''I DID NOT!''
''You did, but it was so cute…''
''I hate you…''
Holly kissed her when they were at the traffic light. She loved how Gail changed and how she became more relaxed. She and Holly decided to have dinner at small Italian place they loved. Holly took pasta with shells and Gail took lasagna. She even had some vine with Holly. She wanted to make sure she gives Holly no more reasons to tease her. They got their food and started eating. Holly's food was amazing. She loved it spicy and exotic, almost as her women. Holly thought about her life and choices she made and she was happy. At some point it was not easy, but she was happy now and wouldn't change much about her life. She was married to a very special woman she loved more than life and she was finally where she wants to be. She has finally home of her own. For years she watched her friends go home to someone and she was always greeted by empty apartment and silence. Even when she dated some of the girls, she never felt ''home'' with them. She lived with Anna for two years and it still wasn't ''home''. With Gail she felt it even before they dated. Gail was ''home'' from the moment in the batting cages or even before that. And now she finally had it and knew what home is. It's not a place, it's a person and Gail (Peck) Stewart was hers. She smiled and Gail noticed she is deep in thought.
''Are you O.K nerd?''
''Yes, I'm more than O.K.''
''Where were you just few seconds ago?''
''Thinking how lucky I am to have you.''
Gail smiled and blushed. She was still not used to hear nice things from someone. Her mother was someone who hurt her a lot and made her feel bad about many things in life. She was feeling so bad and so low that she believed she would never have a day when she was happy about herself. And then she met her wife. Meeting Holly Stewart stirred things in Gail's life, but changed it for the better. Gail became better person with Holly and she became more loving and caring in that relationship. Even when she was being a meany with her friends, they now knew that Gail had their back and that she cares. She loved Holly very much and that love made her change a lot of things she didn't love about herself.
''I think I'm the lucky one Holly… You are my everything….''
Holly smiled at her wife and took her hand.
''We are both lucky then…''
And Gail could live with it. After the dinner Holly took her to the late showing of the move they wanted to see. It was very romantic. They sheared the candy and very large Coke. At first Gail didn't want to share her food, but then she changed her mind. She loved Holly's pouting and when she was sucking up to her. After getting home, Gail got her to the bedroom and started stripping her wife. Holly smiled at her and kissed Gail's lips.
''This is my favorite time of the day….''
''When we are about to have sex?''
''No, when we are about to go to bed together… I worked so many crazy shifts and we spent so little time together recently that I missed this….''
''Oh…''
''But, just for the record… I love when we have sex…''
''I love it too…''
They were out of their clothing in the matter of seconds. Gail's hands were all over Holly's body and she loved how good she felt. Holly loved making love to her wife and she loved how good they were together. Holly was an experienced lover. Before Gail, there was number of ladies in her life, but before Gail, she only loved two of them. Gail was maybe not the best lover, but she was best mixture of all the things Holly wanted and needed. And above all, Gail Peck, now Stewart, was her home. She was her safe place and her shelter and escape when she needs it. Gail was napping on Holly's chest and Holly was thinking about their future…
''I can hear you think Nerd…''
…
''Have baby with me Gail…''
Gail was sitting in bed and looking at Holly with expression of horror.
''What did you say?''
''Let's have a baby…''
Gail didn't know what to say. She wanted to have children with Holly, but she was scared. What if she fails? What if she is as bad as her mother? She didn't want her child to have same feelings for her that she had for her mother. She was not sure if she was even cut out to be a parent. She just started being better to her friends. She was not ready… But… What if….Holly stops wanting her because she is not ready to be a mother?
''Gail?''
''I… I'm not so sure…''
Holly was surprised.
''Why?''
''I'm not cut out to be a parent. I'm bad news Holly…''
''Gail…''
''I can hurt that baby more than bring good into it's life…''
''Why do you say so?''
''Look at me! I was raised by the most insensible woman in the universe. My mother is the only mother I know…''
''So is Tracy….''
''Are you sure?''
That got Gail into thinking. Tracy was amazing mother to Leo. She loved that kid and she loved how close Tracy and him were. Her tone was less defensive. It got softer and Holly was sure she saw a faint smile.
''I do know her…''
''You do love…''
''And she is better mother than mine…In fact…she is amazing parent and I admire her a lot…''
Holly kissed her wife.
''Baby, we don't have to make any decision now. We have time…''
''Holly…. I am not sure I could ever be like Tracy or caring like you…But I believe I could do this if I do it with you. I am not cut out to be mother, but you…You are made for it. I would love to have one or two small nerds running around…''
Holly could feel her eyes getting wet…
''Are you sure?''
''Yes, I am…''
Gail had an evil smirk…
''So, let's try to get you knocked up Stewart…''
She pushed Holly back to the pillows and continued to make love to her wife. When Holly went to sleep, Gail spent some time awake thinking about the conversation they had and what came out of it. She was not ready to be a mother, but she knew how much it meant to Holly. She got out of the bed and started researching what were their options. If Holly wanted this, she was willing to get all the information she could. She will show Holly that she will be there all the way. She will be Holly's support and all that she needs.
