Just a filler for the moment, I will write some more as Mary-Claire and Harry was in this weeks Holby together. Writers Block !
By the way Aoife in this chapter you pronounce it Eva or like this (E-Fa)
Chapter 3
Mary-Claire made her way home after a very emotional day, Her whole body felt drained and she would cry at random moments. She got into her house at 7 and decided to curl up on the sofa and try to forgot things that had happened today.
She tried hard to go to sleep but she couldn't she kept thinking of the baby growing inside of her that one day in 9 months time would be making an appearance and was going to rely on her 24/7 day and night, 7 days a week. Mary-Claire rolled over onto her back on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling wondering whether that one night with Harry they did use protection and if they did... well it must of been out of date. Harry had given her his number in case she ever wanted to talk to him which she did, but every time she went to ring him she would burst into tears and she had no idea why.
Mary-Claire finally picked up the courage to phone Harry as she needed someone to talk to, she wasn't going to tell her boss (Serena) as it was too early into her pregnancy and she needed someone she could trust to help her tell her sisters back in Ireland.
Finally she picked up the phone and Called Harry's number, it rang until a very tired Harry answered
"Hello?"
"Harry..." Mary-Claire broke down into tears.
"Hey Mc what's up ?"
There was silence until Mary-Claire spoke quietly "I need you, I cannot do this!"
"Do what?... Mary-Claire do what?"
Mary-Claire didn't reply and hung up, which caused Harry to panic, He grabbed his coat and made a dash for his car. Luckily Harry hadn't had anything to drink tonight so he could drive to Mary-Claire's house without getting pulled over by the police.
Harry was waiting in the traffic at the lights near the hospital and all that was running though his mind that either Mary-Claire was going to commit suicide and told Harry to come so her body wouldn't have to be found by a neighbour or either Mary-Claire was going to abort the baby after all. "Come on, Come on" Harry said as the lights changed, he drove as fast as he could to Mary-Claire's place (Keeping to the speed limit) with horrible thoughts running though his head.
Once Harry pulled up outside Mary-Claire's house he quickly jumped out of the car and locked it before running up to Mary-Claire's front door and knocking on it.
"Hello" Mary-Claire said as she opened the door to see Harry standing there looking worried "Mary-Claire I thought you had done something stupid!" Harry explained "I need your help" Mary-Claire whispered as she let him in.
"So...What do you need help with Mc, you do realise I was half asleep when you called me" Harry said as Mary-Claire sat beside him "I need you to sit with me while I call my sisters in Ireland over Facebook Skype" Mary-Claire explained to a rather confused Harry "Call it moral support" Mary-Claire added as she lifted the top of the laptop up. Harry agreed as Mary-Claire began the Skype call to Ireland.
"Hi, Mc. One minute I cannot see you" Aoife answered it was Mary-Claire's youngest sister.
"Hi Aoife, how are you doing?"
"I am fine... wow who's good lucking sitting next to you?" Harry blushed at Aoife over the Skype call
"Oh... Aoife this is Harry, my erm.. Friend"
Harry laughed "Don't you mean boyfriend?"
"Well you never asked me out" Mary-Claire said sarcastically
"Oi you too behave" another voice came from behind Aoife it was Clara, Clara had always the deeper Irish accent than Aoife and Mary-Claire.
"So who's the lucky fella?" Clara said as she eyed up Harry
"This is Harry, Harry this is Clara and the cheeky one is Aoife" Mary-Claire butted in
They spoke for ages and every time they change the subject Harry worried that Mary-Claire wouldn't tell them that she is pregnant even though it was very early on. Until Harry pulled Mary-Claire out of view of the camera and whispered to her "are you going to tell them or what?" Mary-Claire nodded in agreement and went and sat in front of the camera again.
"Aoife, Clara I need to tell you something" Mary-Claire added in a clear but nervous tone
"Okay, are you getting married?" Aoife butted in before being shushed by Clara
Mary-Claire froze for a moment to make sure she was about to say it to her sisters in a nice tone but she was trying to keep back the tears again. Yet again the tears came streaming down Mary-Claire's face as she announced it to her sisters.
"I'm Pregnant" Mary-Claire felt Harry's hand touch hers and she gripped his hand tight
"So his Harry the Dad then?" Aoife said in disbelief
Harry gave a quick nod before pulling Mary-Claire into a hug, stroking her soft ginger hair hoping that she would stop crying soon. Then the Skype call lost connection maybe because of all the bad whether they were having in Ireland at the moment. But Mary-Claire was happy as she was alone with Harry and she could talk about things that she didn't want to discuss with her sisters.
