Special Kinda Love (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 2

"Holly! Mama!" Shiloh squealed as they walked through the door, Traci not far behind.

"Mom" Leo called out almost as enthusiastically as Shy, and ran to hug the detective.

Holly scooped up the four year old after he finished squeezing Gail's legs and gave him a hug. She cherished those moments, she knew he was going to grow too fast and picking him up and having his tiny arms wrap around her neck was going to end soon.

"I missed you too buddy. Did you have fun though?" Holly asked as she stepped a bit further into the apartment. Gail had kicked off her boots and was following Traci to get Shiloh's things, Leo generously went to sweep the house of any loose toys or what not so they wouldn't forget anything.

"Yes, I had a lot of fun with Leo and Uncle Steve. We played soccer and got ice cream and went to the movies and got to eat dinner at one of the inside play places. And then we got back and we played Mario cart and just before you guys got back we were drawing" Shiloh word vomited so fast Holly could hardly keep up, the boy still wasn't great at pronouncing so it added an extra mumble to the fast flowing sentences.

"Shy's been hanging out with you too much Hols, he's picked up on the word vomit." Gail sighed in mock annoyance.

Holly flashed her a lopsided smile. "You love it"

Gail ignored that and turned to Leo. "We got everything?"

"Yup" Leo nodded for good measure.

"Well thank you for taking care of my boy for me" Gail laid and arm across Leo's shoulder -the boy only a head shorter than her- and pulled him into her side.

He gave a chuckle. "No problem, Shy's cool."

"Um excuse me, I did the watching" Steve said rounding the corner.

Gail laughed. "Um, no you didn't. We let you think so but really Leo was babysitting you and Shy, you, brother were only the provider."

Steve thought about it and shrugged. Then he strode over to Holly and ruffled Shiloh's hair.

"See you later bud, today was awesome, thanks for the company."

Shiloh beamed up at his uncle. "Bye Uncle Steve"

Steve leaned in and kissed a freckled cheek. "I love you"

"Love you too."

"Bye Holly, I love you also" Steve leaned in and kissed Holly's cheek too.

Holly returned the kiss, "love you too Steve."

"And I hate you Steven, try and keep your head out of your ass." Gail patted his shoulder as she passed him and Holly, going straight for the door. "Bye Trace, today wasn't horrible" she called over her shoulder and walked out, leaving the door wide open.

Holly shook her head amusedly. "Bye Leo, thank you for today, you too Steve." Traci walked in then, she must have been getting ready for bed because she was wearing an old academy tee and plaid pyjama pants.

"You should get those baby blues to bed, this one is all tuckered out and Gail probably is too." Traci smiled as she trailed her fingers lightly over Shiloh's back. Holly hadn't even noticed the boys head fall onto her shoulder, or when the warm breath on her neck slowed to a steady relaxed rhythm. Luckily he was already put in pyjamas so they wouldn't have to wake him and could just put him to bed.

"I'll get right on that. Today was great, thank you again. Love you Trace" Holly spoke softly.

"Love you too. Drive safe and call when you get home"
