A black SUV zips along the coast of Oahu, Hawaii, racing the sunset home. The driver longing for what waits for her there. Humidity lingers in the air slightly as the sun starts to dip down the horizon and the car turns into the driveway of a two-story home, facing the ocean. The mailbox proudly proclaiming 'The Whistlers' in black, on the side. A beautiful, tanned woman steps out of the car, wearing black boots, navy blue dress pants, and a cream t-shirt with a matching navy blazer over it. Her style had slightly changed throughout the years, as she progressed up the ranks. She now works as the Senior Special Agent in her team and decided to dress more professionally. Her wife had enjoyed the change immensely, loving the way she looked in tight fitting pants and blazers.
The woman takes a deep breath and smiles at the house, before reaching into the car and grabbing her black backpack. Unlocking the door, a slightly wet golden retriever greets her with a bark and a wagging tail, "Hi Mia girl!". The dog's tail still wagging, follows her around the house until she settles down in her bed near the TV in the living room. Taking off her shoes and putting her gun and badge away, Lucy listens to the laughing upstairs with a smile. Finally, she climbs the stairs and hears splashing and the voices of her wife and daughter. "Ellie!", Kate yells with a chuckle, "You're getting Momma all wet! Come on little love, you need to get clean". And with that, Lucy peeks her head into the bathroom and sees the mess her family has made. Water is dripping from every surface after being splashed everywhere, a little girl is smiling and laughing in the bath while a chuckling blonde is kneeling on the ground by the tub, trying to rinse conditioner out of her daughter's hair. Lucy takes a moment to take in her family, her mini-me is splashing the water and playing with a plastic dinosaur, while her blonde mother is smiling at her and rinsing her hair. Kate's own hair is practically dripping, plastered to her head, and her clothes are almost completely soaked, making her shiver slightly in the cooler air of the bathroom.
Suddenly, Kate's head whips up and her eyes catch with Lucy's for a moment, the world going away until, "Mommy!". The little Whistler grabs the attention of both her mothers and a spraying of water reaches Lucy at the doorway, making her laugh. "Elizabeth Jane! You're making your Mommies all wet!", she laughs while trying to take the water from her face. She makes her way to beside the tub and takes her wife's head in her hands, tilting it up while she bends down slightly for a lingering kiss. "Hi," Kate whispers when her eyes open and the kiss ends, a small smile on her face. "Hi back," Lucy replies, until water once again reaches them both from beside them. The mothers turn their heads and smile at their mischievous, giggling child. "That wasn't very nice Ellie Belly," Lucy whispers teasingly to her daughter while grabbing a towel and lifting her out of the tub and into her arms, effectively soaking her shirt. She makes sure she is holding Ellie tight, before tickling her belly and making her daughter giggle more and kick her legs. Her little arms try to grab at her mothers' hands to make it stop but they're too fast and suddenly she's shrieking, "Momma, help! Save me!" between giggles. Kate only laughs, looking on with a huge smile on her face, looking at her world.
Only when Ellie runs out of breath does Lucy stop her tickle attack. "I'll get this one dry if you want to change and grab her pajamas," Lucy says to her wife while Ellie lays her tired head on her mothers' shoulder, catching her breath. Kate nods and gets up, using a towel to ring out her hair before stripping out of her drenched clothing and chucking the towel, along with her clothes, in the hamper beside the sink, leaving her in only underwear. When she looks up, she sees her wife, in the same position as before, with her mouth slightly open. "Weren't you going to dry our baby?" Kate asks with a slight smirk on her face looking at her still wife. Her eyes move over to her daughter who is looking at Lucy with a confused face and tries manually closing her mothers' mouth. That seems to shock Lucy out of her stupor and she blushes slightly while her eyes move up and down her wife's body, "s-sorry, yeah go-go change and I'll dry Ellie". Kate chuckles, "you said that already," she says, kissing her wife's pink cheek and blowing raspberries on her daughters', making her laugh again, before walking out of the room, Lucy's eyes following her every move before a small hand waves and blocks her view, "Mommy?". "Right! Yes! Let's get you all dry Ellie Bean!" she looks at her daughter and winks, "Your Momma's just so pretty". In the next room, Kate smiles, hearing her wife's comment, and fetches everything she needs before walking back into the bathroom, now in pajamas.
Seeing a now, mostly dry, little girl and a slightly damp wife, she grabs their daughter and puts her, standing, on the ground, "Go get changed, I'll get this one sorted out," Kate says, looking into Lucy's eyes. "Okay," Lucy replies, walking out of the room and chuckling lightly along with her wife when she hears Ellie ask Kate, "Why was Mommy acting weird?". She smiles, listening to the laughing in the bathroom and changing her clothes, thinking about how lucky she is, and how she should tell her wife about the little secret she's been keeping for the last few days. Yes, she smiles, tonight she'll tell Kate about the new addition coming into their family soon.
