"So what are we gonna do now?" Sophie asks as they walk out of the break room.
The eight year old had been asking to see where Gail works, and pointing out the window as they drove around the city 'wasn't what she was talking about' and Gail 'needed to stop being so silly'. After a few more plays of debate they settled on a date, a few days later, and here they were all finished with the tour of 15 division.
Sophie had never asked so many questions in all she'd known the girl. Each room came with questions of 'what's this room' and anything in said room was met with 'what's this for' and any small curiosity was said aloud. Gail's heart swelled with each query, she was overwhelmed with how easy it felt. Walking around with her daughter and the girl feeling so comfortable with her that she'd stopped questioning herself, stopped filtering before she spoke.
"My lunch is almost up, so" Gail raised their joined hands as she continued, "we are going to meet mom." She finished with twirling Sophie, a big goofy smile on both their faces.
After a few twirls, and an Officer had to pass by, they giggled looking at one another.
Sophie had thought it'd be weird, to call anyone but her birth mother mom, but after a few weeks living with Gail it felt weirder to not see the blonde as her mom. So tacking on Holly as well was normal, seem less even. It did get confusing sometimes, having three moms, she had to specify sometimes which she was talking about when just throwing the word 'mom' around, but she'd found it funny and would laugh it off.
At hearing who they were headed to Sophie picked up their pace from one of leisure to on a mission, tugging on Gail's hand.
"Slow down there speed racer. You're gonna run over a cop and then we'll both be in trouble, have you noticed where we are?" Gail laughed as they rounded the corner to the front entrance.
Suddenly her hand went cold, looking she found her hand alone by her side and then loud foot falls sounded. Following the sound she'd come -very- familiar with, Gail watched as Sophie ran towards Traci's desk and into Holly's arms with a loud "mom". She broke out into a smile of awe and pride, her heart pounding and filled with overwhelming love and joy.
Holly picked up the girl with ease, squeezing her tightly as she swung Sophie in the air. She wasn't sure when it happened but that was how they greeyed each other, always. As Gail approached she placed her daughter back onto her feet, and with a bop to her nose and turned to the blonde.
"Hey you" Gail smiled, wrapping her arms around the brunettes neck.
Holly smiled back fondly and grabbed her by the waist. "Hey"
Gail couldn't wait any longer, uncaring of who was watching and how stupidly lovesick she must look, she brought their lips together in a tender hello. Holly pulled their hips together as all of her stress from the morning melted away.
A few moments into it they broke out into bright smiles and giggles as Sophie -companied by her Aunt Traci- made barf noises.
