Holly J Sinclair... pregnant. She couldn't believe it. She decides to have sex one time, and this happens. Now she certainly isn't living in Heather's shadow. She wishes she was now. Heather was just what they would call a bitch, but at least she wasn't a slut.

She walked over to Declan who was watching TV with Fiona in the other room.

"Declan..." she began in a worried voice.

"Yes?" Declan asked grabbing Holly J's hand and guiding her to the red satin couch. Holly J sat in the middle of Declan and Fiona. Fiona gave her a discusted look, but when she noticed that Holly J was looking at her, she looked away. Lately Fiona had been secretive, and suddenly wearing enormous amounts of makeup. Holly J had commented on it and now Fiona seemed to hide from her.

"I need to tell you something." Holly J began. She waited for Fiona to leave. Fiona noticed that Holly J was looking at her, "I'm watching TV." she said, rolling her eyes.

"You'll notice later anyway..." Holly J said unsurely.

"Declan, I'm pregnant." Holly J bluntly said.

Declan stepped back. "You're kidding." he said. Fiona was sitting in the background, surprisingly not grinning or laughing, just staring in disbelief.

"Holly J, you have to be." Declan stated.

Holly J looked at him with question in her eyes. She shook her head "No... Declan I'm not."

"You guys are having sex?" Fiona asked, her eyes squinting. "Ew..."

"Fiona, this isn't funny!" Declan yelled at her. Holly J was surprised, Declan never yelled at Fiona, never.

"I'm sorry, that's just discusting!" Fiona stated.

Declan slapped her in the face.

Fiona stared at him in disbelief. She looked scared from the time he raised his hand. She began crying and ran off.

Holly J was really surprised. She took Declan by the arm. "This isn't Fiona's fault!" she said.

"I know... she can just be a brat sometimes, this isn't something to laugh and joke out. Are you sure you're pregnant?"

Holly J was taken abback.

"So if your sister is a brat, you slap her?" she asked "We'll talk about this later, I'm finding Fiona."

Declan sat on the couch, head in his hands. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had just angered the two people he adored the most with in one minute. And he was going to be a dad.

Holly J found Fiona in her room. "Leave me alone." Fiona had said, between deep breaths and crying.

"I don't know what got in to Declan, he's a bit crazy tonight, I don't know why... I guess he just has a lot of things on his mind." Holly J told her.

Fiona continued to cry.

"Fiona, look at me." Holly J insisted.
"I can't."

"Why not?" Holly J curiously asked, turning her around.

A black circle was around Fiona's eye, there were other bruises on her too.

"Did Declan do that?" Holly J asked softly.

Fiona half laughed, "No... not him. Declan barely touched me."

Holly J watched Fiona for a second. "Barely touched you? I heard that slap, it was loud."

"He touched me, but not as hard as..." Fiona's voice broke.

"Come on Fiona, you can tell me."

Fiona shook her head no.

"I know you hate me, because I date your brother... but I want to help."

"I don't hate you." Fiona stated.

Suddenly Declan walked in. He took one look at Fiona's eye.

"My god Fi, did I do that?" he asked as he rushed in and knelt down beside her.

"No."

"Black eyes don't make themselves." Declan stated.

"It wasn't you though." Fiona replied.
"Then who was it?" Holly J asked impatiantly.

"It was Bobby." Fiona stated sadley.

Declan was extremley angry at Fiona's boyfriend Bobby. His hands were made into tight fists.

Fiona ducked down. Holly J sat her back up.

"You've been dating that basterd for months, when did this start to happen?" she asked.

"Sometime between the first and second week." Fiona sighed.

"I'll beat him up!" Declan screamed.

"No..." Fiona replied, "You just be a good boyfriend to Holly J, she needs you now... more than I do."

Holly J smiled inside, but not on the outside, that was no way to react when your soon to be sister in law gets beat up. Still, Holly J thought, me being pregnant, and Fiona getting beat up. Holly J sighed.

"I'm pregnant, I can take care of that... it'll be easy, I'll get an abortion. Fiona, this is serious you could be seriously hurt."

Fiona looked up. "You can't do that." she said, a tear rolling slowly down her face. Declan sat down beside her, and put his arm around her. She flinched and looked over her shoulder at a huge bruise. Declan scooted his arm up, so it wouldn't touch the bruise.

"That's my niece, or nephew." Fiona said. Her voice sounded like that of a five year old's.

"Fi, you have to understand," Holly J said "I'm scared." her voice was soft. Declan reached up to grab her hand but she pulled it away.

Fiona had coldness in her eyes. "And you think I'm not?" she asked.

"I'm scared in a different way..." Holly J said.

"Yeah, and would you like to trade situations. I'd rather carry a baby then be beaten up everyday." Fiona screamed. She pried Declan's arm off of her shoulder and started to leave.

"Fi... wait..." Declan said, grabbing her wrists and holding her back. She looked at him, fear in her eyes.
"Please stay." he said.

Fiona sat down.

"You guys are the only friends I have." she stated, rubbing her wrist, that had multiple handprints on it. It was Bobby's handprints.

"I would love a niece or nephew..."

Declan looked at Fiona, question in his eyes.

"It's Holly J's body, and she can do what she wishes."

Fiona looked down.

Holly J sighed, upest that she was even in this situation. She felt sorry for Fiona.

"Fi... I know you're going through, so much right now... you have to get away from him." Holly J told her.

"I can't it's not that easy."

"I'll keep the baby if you do." Holly J said, with an uncertain tone in her voice.

Fiona looked up and smiled.

Declan took a deep breath.

Fiona ran over to Holly J and hugged her.

That night Fiona cried in her room. She'd tried to break up with Bobby before and that had resulted in a trip down the stairs, not so much as a trip as a push.

Declan came in to her room.

"Fiona, about tonight, when I slapped you. It was stupid, and impulsive. I'm sorry. I really love you Fi."

"I know." she stated, staring at her hands, that were clasped tightly in her lap.

"I really wish you'd let me beat up that basterd."

Fiona looked up at her brother. "You need to just handle Holly J and your baby now." she said.

"Fi... you can't possibly be ok, this guy abused you, a lot, you flinch when someone lifts up their hand to scratch their head!"

"I'm fine." assured Fiona, but her voice was already quavering and breaking.

"You are not." Declan insisted.

"Can I sleep in you're room tonight?" Fiona asked.

"With me and Holly J?" Declan almost refused but said "If you really want to."

"I can't sleep, I'm too scared." Fiona said.
