Theo!
Her heels had disappeared a long time ago. Holly let out a breath as she shut the door to the guest room behind her, wondering how she'd made it into her house in near complete silence with Thomas McCormack literally hanging onto her. Merlin's pants, this was not how she expected this evening to go, but Holly was first and foremost a teammate, and had taken on the the role tonight. She listened at the door to make sure she didn't hear him moving about, hoping that the sleeping potion she'd forced down his throat would go into effect quickly. When she didn't hear anything, Holly started down the hallway toward the master bedroom. She stopped midway, however, and looked into Theodore's room. Holly hesitated for a moment, but then entered.
The little boy was sound asleep. She gently sat on the edge of the bed and looked him over, smoothing down his hair. She'd loved this boy before she'd loved her husband, she was sure. It had almost been instant and Holly was sure she'd never honestly cared for someone like she had immediately grown to care for Theodore. Being with Thomas and seeing what he'd gone through tonight made her want to hold her son and never let go.
Holly sucked in a breath, surprising herself as tears struck her eyes. If anything ever happened to Theodore, or...She turned at the sound of footsteps, and wiped at her eyes when she saw Theo standing in the door way.
"I was just---checking on him," she said, looking down and wincing at the very glittery dress she was still wearing.
