I had trouble updating this, so sorry it's a short chapter.
I own my OC Holly.
Enjoy the chapter.
It wasn't the most comfortable place to be. Right now, Mike and Holly were crammed into a toilet cubicle at the arena. The reason for this was that the couple had decided to find out whether Holly was expecting or not. She suspected that she might be pregnant and had picked up the tester kit at a pharmacy on the way to the arena for tonight's event. Mike had insisted that they do this together, which was why they were currently lodged into a small cubicle.
"Ok, let's see." Mike said, taking the white box and studying the instructions.
"Well it can't be that difficult." Holly shrugged.
"You have to pee on this." He explained, handing her a white plastic wand.
"Ok, turn around." She replied.
"Why?" he asked.
"I don't want you to see me peeing." Holly frowned.
"I've seen you naked!" Mike shook his head in disbelief.
"Just turn around, please?" she pleaded.
Mike obliged, turning to the door and folding his arms. He hummed his theme song as he waited for Holly to finish. Eventually she tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around. She glanced at the box again, checking the timer on her cell phone.
"Just got to wait three minutes." She explained.
"Are you ok?" Mike asked his girlfriend.
"I guess so." She gave a small smile.
"Remember, we're in this together." The Ohio native nodded, attempting to hug her.
"Ouch!" she jumped slightly.
"What?" Mike asked confusedly.
"I leaned on the toilet paper holder." She sighed, rubbing her back.
"So, have you thought about what happens if the test is positive?" Mike asked.
He knew that it couldn't be avoided. If she was pregnant, they still might not know who the father was. The Chick Magnet wasn't sure how much he could tolerate if it turned out to be Adam's baby. There was so much at stake.
"I don't think I could have an abortion." Holly replied.
"I wouldn't expect you to." Mike added.
"I know." She told him.
"Did you make a doctor's appointment too?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I'll be going later on." She replied.
"That's ok then." Mike nodded.
"I'll know more after I've seen the doctor." Holly added.
"Sure." Mike smiled nervously.
Holly sighed and fanned her face with the instruction leaflet that came with the tester kit. Mike understood how nervous she felt, because he felt like that too. An uncomfortable stirring in his stomach and a dry mouth with clammy palms were unmistakeable symptoms of anxiety. In this cubicle, thank goodness he wasn't claustrophobic too.
"It's time." The brunette announced.
"Come on then." Mike nodded.
"I'm nervous." Holly sighed, picking up the wand.
"So?" Mike asked, trying to read her expression.
"I'm…not pregnant." She frowned at the test.
"Not pregnant?" the Ohio native frowned and took the wand from her.
Sure enough, in the window, were the words "not pregnant". It was negative. Both of them stared at the floor in confusion. It was Mike who made the first move, pulling the brunette into a hug. She reciprocated, leaning her head against his broad chest. She sighed as it sunk in that she wasn't having a baby.
"I don't know why I feel like this." She whispered, loud enough for Mike to hear.
"Maybe the test is wrong. You go to the doctor later." He told her.
"Yeah." She nodded absently.
A few hours later, the event was starting, with Mike against MVP. He was eager to hear what Holly had to say when she returned from the doctor's office. Right now, he had to concentrate on his match. MVP was a tough opponent to face.
Mike made his entrance first getting the usual reaction of both boos and chants of "awesome" as he walked to the ring. He heard the crowd cheer for MVP as his music changed to "I'm Coming" and the Ballin' superstar ran onto the stage. The men made eye contact as MVP slipped through the ring ropes and stood on the turnbuckle. Mike maintained his smirk as the other man turned his attention to him.
The two men faced off as the bell rang to signal the start of the match. Mike smirked at the other man, bringing out his in ring persona. They locked up and went through a series of submissions and reversals. Mike got the upper hand with a swift kick to MVP's ribcage. The opponent retaliated with a couple of arm drags and ended up beside the turnbuckle, which he threw Mike into.
Mike shook his head as his vision blurred slightly. He regained his poise to duck a clothesline from MVP and perform a side slam, followed by an attempted skull-crushing finale. At the last minute, MVP countered into a cradle pin, which got a two count. Another move by MVP saw Mike laid out, in order for the opponent to hit the Ballin' elbow drop. Mike crawled over to the ropes, ready to bounce off them. Mike waited for his opponent to stand up, hitting him with a clothesline of his own and setting up the skull-crushing finale once again. He hit it perfectly this time, scoring a three count and emerging victorious.
Ass he made his way backstage, his friend Randy caught him.
"What's up with Holly?" the Viper asked.
"Um, I don't know what you're talking about?" Mike frowned.
"I saw her just now. I said hi and she burst into tears." Randy explained.
"Oh, I'll go find her." Mike said.
"Good luck." The Legend Killer nodded.
"Thanks Randy." The Ohio native gave a small smile.
Mike made his way to his locker room, wondering if she was there. Luckily she was, sitting on a bench wearing one of his hooded jackets. It was too big for her, but she rolled up the sleeves so that her hands could be found. Mike didn't notice at first, but now he could see that damp streaks ran down her reddened cheeks, dripping tears from her chin onto the jacket.
"What's wrong?" he asked, falling to his knees in order to embrace her.
"Oh Mike." She trembled as she spoke.
"You're scaring me honey." Mike told her, taking one of her hands in his own.
"I saw the doctor." Holly sighed.
"What did the doctor say?" Mike asked, stroking her tear stained face.
"I'm not pregnant." She replied.
"Oh, you're upset." He began.
"No, I'm not pregnant but I'm sick." Holly sobbed.
"What do you mean you're sick?" Mike asked, his eyes were wide with fear.
"My body's not functioning properly. That's why I was late. The doctor wants me to go for urgent tests tomorrow morning." The brunette explained, before sobbing again.
Mike was unsure of what to say. Whenever people said that they were sick, he had visions of cancer and life threatening illnesses. If Holly was really that bad, how would he cope? How would he cope if he were to lose her?
"What does he think it is?" her boyfriend asked her.
"He didn't say, but I just know something's wrong." Holly sniffed.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Mike asked her.
"Yes, I'm scared." She whispered.
"I know, but I'll look after you." Mike told her, pulling her in for another hug.
"I love you." She sobbed, soaking his skin with her tears.
"I love you too." He replied.
