Holly's P.O.V
Im getting married tomorrow and I hate it. I'm 8 and a bit months pregnant, I can feel them kick now and the morning sickness has gone, thank god because that was the worst thing ever. Bree used to make me some herbs to put in my tea to minimize it but it didn't really help. I saw Kol every so often but it wasn't the same, he would just look at me and our baby and look away. I noticed he was building something but I could never work out what.
Today Elijah and Nik are showing me the house that I am to move into tomorrow night. I hope it how I wanted it, they both knock on my door and smile.
"Well you've certainly grown over night." Nik smirks and I smack him.
"Its not funny. I cant fit in anything and my wedding dress is being altered for the fourth time and all I want to do is cry, I cant see my toes and my back constantly hurts" I stop because they're laughing "And now you pair are laughing at me." They continue "Stop! Its not funny" But I cant help the smile that spread across my face when I whine like that, I remind myself of Cate.
"Holly, do you want you want to see the hut or not?" Nik says with his dimple smile.
"Yes, movie it now" I say as I push them out of my family home. We slowly walk over to the hut and Elijah calls Henrick over.
"Henrick, take Holly's hand and make sure she doesn't peek from behind this blindfold. Do you think you can handle that?" Henrick laughs and nods. I feel a piece of black material go around my eyes and someone tie it at the back, I feel Henrick grab my hand and we make our way forwards into the house, "Ok Henrick, take off the blind fold." He does as they ask and I gasp.
I am standing in a room that has a couple of comfy seats and books. It has 3 doors leading away from the lounge, I open the one door and walk into one and what I see has me in tears of joy. A baby's room. In the corner there is a crib and it has decorations coating the top is an oak wood and it soft to the touch. Opposite the crib was a changing table with flowers on it, and then next to that in the corner was a rocking chair with a pink cushion on it, someone obviously thought the baby was a girl, all around the room toys were scattered around the room and blankets were piled up in the crib, a baby pink and yellow. Elijah handed me a note.
Holly, I cant be there to look after our child fully but I thought I would feel better if they had a little bit of me constantly with them even if they don't know it. I think the baby is a girl, how? The glow in your cheeks and the way you glow. I made this for you. Ill always love you. -Kol
Its hard to know that we cant be together when he does things like this.
"Can you give me a minute?" I ask Nik, Henrick and Elijah, they silently leave the room. I stare and walk around, I touch every piece of the room and spot a knife, I pick it up. I walk over to the crib and kneel by the side of it where there is a small gap to the wall and there, there is where I write H 3 k="" em=""and H+K=...
I leave the space beyond the = free because I don't know what I will call my child yet, but I know that William is not having a say in the matter.
"Holly? Are you ok?" I hear Elijah say. I walk out of the room and nod, we continue the walk around and we enter the bedroom and I regret it immediately because I know I'm going to have to lay with William tomorrow. I begin to cry and Nik pulls me into a hug.
"Hush, you will be fine, I promise. We will hurt him if he lays one hand on you." I giggle.
"Thanks, I don't know what id do without you lot." I smile and they lead me away from the hut. I see Kol and I smile, he does nothing in return. All I want to do is hit him and for him to hold me whilst I cry and tell him how much I lover him. However, that wont happen now, or ever, for that matter its all ruined. I feel like it is all my fault though.
"Holly" I spin around and see Sage standing there. Her and Finn have been married for 4 months now and they are deeply in love, Sage still comes around when Finn goes hunting. He doesnt like to leave her alone especially when Gareth has been lurking around lately. My mother makes us help out with Robb and Cate so when we have children we will be prepared, Cate likes talking to my belly she thinks it will be a girl and she is so excited about being an Aunt.
"Whats wrong Sage?" I ask
"Nothing but you have been crying, why?" She then notices Kol across the village "Oh, I see you found out what he was building in his spare time." She hugs me "Holly, it will get easier."
"HOLLY" I hear my mother yell and Sage takes my hand as we make our way over to her. "Lets try on that wedding dress, hopefully my little grandchild wont grow over night." She laughs. well Im glad one of us find this funny.
"She takes me into the house and kicks my Father out and makes him take Robb with him. Cate looks smug at her twin because she is aloud to stay and he isn't, Aria gives Toby the same look but the difference is they're not twins.
I try and slip away but Sage grabs me and pushes me into my room. I slip on the wedding dress and today it is a perfect fit, I feel sick not with nerves but with disgust because I dreamt about this day but with a different groom. I rub my stomach and feel my baby kick, it makes me smile knowing I will always have a piece of Kol. I walk out of the room and spin.
"Beautiful" My mother says with a watery smile and Sage tells me the same thing.
"Pwincess Holly. Holly the pwincess" Cate shouts as her angelic laugh fills the room and soon we are all in laughter.
"William is coming." My father yells from outside.
"Hurry out of the dress." My mother yells at me. Me and Sage hurry into my room and quickly get me out of the dress and into my normal clothes. We enter the lounge and William is standing there.
"Not getting cold feet?" I shake my head knowing that if I said anything the truth would come out. He smiles "Good because I would hate to lose such a radiant bride." I smile and my mother hugs my father whispering about how they were like this once. I wanted to shout out how much I didn't want this but although my Father was lenient he was strict as well, he could scare me sometimes and Id never go against him. "Ill be going I only came to make sure the blushing bride is still, well, blushing." And with that cheesy note he walks off.
That night I take a bath and leave my hair to dry naturally. I think of names for the baby and I have one for a girl and one for a boy, I prefer the girl one so I hope it is a little girl.
Bree comes to stay the night so in the morning she can help me get ready, Im grateful for that because I need to keep it together. I decide to confront her about something.
"Do you like Elijah?" I ask her and her face turns red.
"Yes, he is a good friend." And I can tell she knows that's not what I meant.
"No, I'm talking about like like" her face gets redder. "Oh my god, you do! What are you doing here, go flirt work some of your magic into him."
"HOL!" She yells mortified. "I cant its the middle of the night"
"Fine but tomorrow you're going to dance and part and smile and kiss and whatever else with him" I think "Ok no further than kissing unless you want to look like this." And I motion towards myself. I cant wait to get them out.
"I wonder when Sage will have a baby." She mumbles to me.
"I don't know I think she is put of after last time, although I don't think she would oppose to the idea, I think they are happy where they are." I say truthfully. I think after what happened Sage is a bit of a touchy subject with baby, I knew she would always be there for me but when the baby first kicked I told Bree because I didn't want to hurt Sage.
"Holly" We hear a small voice whisper.
"What Cate? You should be asleep you have a big day tomorrow." I say softly while I kneel down in front of her.
"But I 'ad a bad dream and wanted talk to you." I pull her into my arms.
"Your dreams cant hurt you Cate." I say softly.
"I know but I was scared. Mama and Papa are having fun together I can 'ear Mama laufin" She speaks tiredly. Its gross to know that my parents still do that I mean my Father is getting older and is always talking about how he cant wait to have Mother to himself so you would think that he would at least try to wait until his children have left the house. I hear Bree giggle and say something along the lines of "Yeah I'm sure they're enjoying themselves" I throw I cushion in her direction.
"Do you want to talk about this dream then Cate?" But she doesn't reply she shakes her head half asleep and is curled up next to me. I decide to blow out the candles and say good night to Bree. As I said to Cate we have a busy day tomorrow and some how I have to get through it without Kol.
Kol's P.O.V
I was happy when I saw Holly reading the note, her eyes filled with tears but the smile that spread across her face told me that it was from happiness and joy. For 4 months I have been working on that furniture and the look on her face was totally worth it. I think the baby is a girl and I think she thinks that its a boy, It hurts me to see her carrying my child every day and not being able to say a word to her, but what hurt more was the fact that she is getting married tomorrow to another man.
William disgust me so much. Who does he think he is? He walks in get my treasure and my gem and still that isn't enough for him, he wants Tatia and from what I hear it wont be long until the Truth comes out. Ive notice Tatia being sick a lot, eating foods she didn't normally and she is always looking tired, I wouldn't have noticed before but after watching Holly I have picked up on the things pregnant women do and I would say this is something they would do.
"Kol?" I hear Elijah ask.
"What the bloody hell do you want?" I shout at him
"You're loosing it already and she is not even married yet. What will you become when she is?" He asks
"Fuck off Elijah, I only need wine." I say as I continue drinking.
"All of this will end one way or another but which will it be" he says whilst he walks off into the darkness
"I don't fuckin' care, she doesn't so why should I?" I ask myself and soon Im in a darkness that is anything but peaceful.
William's P.O.V
I met up with Tatia after I went to Holly's, It was early hours of Sunday morning and I was to be married in a couple of hours. Tatia was sat under a tree with her head in her hands. I ran up to her and took her in my arms. "Tia? Whats wrong?" I ask.
"Will I don't want you to hate me but there is something you need to know." I'm scared of what it is. I nod my head to tell her that I want to know and she takes a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." I feel my face drop. "You're the father."
It takes a moment to register and I cant help but frown a bit. "Wait, as in a baby." She glares at me
"Of course a baby what else? A pig? A dog? You know this cant happen! I will be as bad as that whore you're marrying. I wont be like Kol, I wont be your dirty little secret like he is hers, I refuse. We need to be marries so get rid of the little whore before I do because we both know that if I do it, Ill make it hurt." She threatens.
I didn't mean for my Tia to get pregnant, I do love her but we couldn't be together. I mean she is the town slut but we are constantly together so it wouldn't surprise me if it is mine. Oh no, what will my father say? Holly will have no problem using this as her way of getting rid of me and Tatia will have no problem telling everybody. What have I done? Its too late to question myself the wedding starts in 10 minutes, Ive been out here hours.
