Here's a new chapter of Smithfield of Dreams.
Thanks to all who have read and reviewed so far.
I own Holly and Lucas. Carmi and Aubrey belong to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight.
Enjoy the chapter...
"So what do you think?" Mike asked as he finished explaining his idea to Carmi.
"I think it sounds like a great idea. But, you really should ask Holly before you go planning anything." She replied.
"That's what I told him." John nodded from his place at the breakfast table.
"Told him what?" Holly yawned as she entered the room.
"Come here." Mike smiled and pulled Holly into his lap.
"What's going on?" the Boston native raised a brow.
"What would you say if I were to suggest that we get married here?" Mike asked her.
"Carmi's house?" the brunette frowned.
"No, Smithfield in general." Mike replied.
Mike bit down on his lip nervously. He was unsure of how his fiancée was likely to react to his suggestion. Both Carmi and John looked on in curiosity and anticipation as the Boston native took a sharp intake of breath. The trio watched her as she narrowed her blue eyes and thought about the proposal. Carmi subconsciously reached out for John's hand. There was an uneasy silence until Holly looked up and her mouth broke into a smile.
"Do you mean it? Can you do it in such a small amount of time?" Holly asked.
"Of course. I already have us a wedding planner." Mike nodded and smiled.
"Wedding planner? Who?" Holly frowned confusedly.
"Me!" Carmi replied excitedly.
"Was this your idea?" Holly asked the smaller brunette.
"Nope. It was all Mike." Carmi replied, shaking her head.
"Oh, that's so sweet." Holly smiled and moved in for a kiss.
"Do I get rewarded for that?" Mike mumbled as he ran his hand down Holly's nightdress.
"Easy boy! I will go get the hose!" Carmi scolded Mike as things got a little heated.
"And I might throw up my nutritionally balanced breakfast." John added in a serious voice.
"Shut up John! Be jealous!" Mike pouted.
"How can I be jealous of you when I have abs like these?" John asked as he lifted his shirt.
There was no reply, as Mike headed upstairs upon hearing that his baby son had woken up. The Ohio native returned down the stairs with the baby in his arms. The whining subsided as the baby's blue eyes spotted his aunt Carmi. Holly worried that the two were so attached, that the new home would have to have a bedroom especially for the baby Hurricane. On second thoughts, she might as well be sleeping in the crib with him.
"So, I was thinking we should go and get our marriage licence today." Mike told his fiancée.
"That sounds good. We can take Lucas and give these two some quality time." Holly agreed.
"Great idea!" John added, seeing the disappointment in Carmi's face that she wasn't going to be left with the baby.
"Come on, we'll get you all ready." Carmi smiled and took the baby to get fed and changed before he was dressed.
After breakfast, Mike and Holly took their son into town in order to get their marriage licence. The Boston native made a mental note to inform her parents of the decision before Carmi did. Mike proudly pushed their son along in his stroller as a couple of people glanced in their direction, recognising that they were a WWE superstar and diva. To anyone else, they were just a happy young family.
After they had obtained their marriage licence, the couple and baby Lucas walked down the street and engaged in happy small talk about their wedding amongst other things. Baby Lucas dropped his toy from his stroller. It was a blue rabbit that Carmi had bought him the day after he was born. Mike immediately bent down to retrieve the toy, apologising to the person whom he had just obstructed.
"Long time no see." A familiar voice answered.
"Aubrey?" Mike frowned and stood up to see the person's face.
"You haven't changed." The redhead shook her head slowly.
"Actually, I've changed a lot since we dated." Mike informed her.
"Changed? Did you lower your standards? Because I doubt that you could do any better than me." Aubrey gave a satisfied smirk.
At that moment, Lucas cried out for his toy, which Mike was still holding.
"Here you go." Mike gave his son the rabbit.
"Feeling chivalrous?" Aubrey raised a brow.
"Actually, he's mine." Mike informed her, pointing towards the baby.
"Oh…" the redhead nodded her head slowly.
"In fact, I'm engaged. This is my fiancée Holly." Mike motioned to the brunette behind him.
"Wow, you're getting married?" Aubrey looked surprised.
"Very soon." Mike added.
"Nice to meet you." Holly offered a hand to the redhead to be polite.
"So Holly, what do you do?" Aubrey asked the Boston native.
"I'm a WWE Diva. That's how I met Mike." Holly replied.
"I never would have guessed. You don't look like your typical diva." The redhead told her.
"I agree." Holly nodded.
"You look like you've been working out Mike." Aubrey gave a smirk.
"So, you're still a nurse?" Mike asked her, wanting to avoid her flirting in front of Holly.
"Yes." She replied.
"So, you must be working around here?" Mike raised a brow.
"For now. You know me. I tend to move around." Aubrey replied.
"Well, we're just staying with John and Carmi. Then we move into our new home in Boston." Mike informed her.
"Boston?" the redhead raised a brow.
"It's where Holly's from." Mike explained.
"Well, it's been fascinating, but I really have work to do." Aubrey said, deliberately slipping past close to Mike.
"Goodbye then. I hope one day you'll be as happy as we are." Mike called to her.
"Mike, is she always like that?" Holly whispered, although Aubrey was now out of earshot.
"Always." Mike nodded and resumed pushing of the stroller.
That evening, Carmi was full steam ahead on the wedding plans. She had already arranged to take Carmi out dress shopping, as well as appointing herself in charge of food for the big day. Mike and John had gone over to see Shannon and Matt, taking baby Lucas with them. The two brunette women were sat at the table with Carmi scribbling in a notebook.
"So, about the bachelorette party…" Carmi looked at Holly.
"I'm not having a bachelorette party." Holly shook her head.
"What? Why?" the baby Hurricane frowned.
"I don't have any girls to invite to one. The only friends I have apart from you are guys." Holly explained.
"What about the divas?" Carmi raised a brow.
"There's only really Jillian and Eve. Sometimes Nattie helps me out when I'm training, but that's it unless Randy and Wayne dressed in drag. I don't think Mike would be very happy though." Holly chuckled lightly.
"Leave it to me." Carmi smiled and hugged the Boston native.
"Thanks Carmi." Holly smiled.
"Just think, in less than two weeks you'll be Mrs Mizanin." Carmi whispered in her ear.
"Bring it on!" Holly replied, as she and Carmi collapsed into giggles.
What do you think?
Please Review! xxx
In the next story, I need an entrance theme for Holly.
I have a couple of ideas, but I wonder if anyone has any other suggestions?
