"I knew that he would do this to you!" Cried Michael as Holley was sitting on the couch, crying, with her mom, Kimberly, hugging her.
"You're misunderstanding, dad! He didn't mean to! He was just too shocked!" Holley shot back, defending Finn even though he wasn't present.
"Holley, he just told you to leave!"
"Michael, please. Just let me talk with Holley." Kimberly sighed, taking Holley to the bedroom.
Once inside, Kimberly closed the door and looked at Holley. "Tell me sweetie. I wish to know everything."
Holley sat down on the bed and tried to calm her crying. "I was…just going over my mission and then Drake came and he said that…that…"
"Said what, sweetie?"
"That he was forced to work with Bryan Chance and if he didn't his sister would get killed, who is my friend, by the way."
Kimberly nodded. "Keep going."
"So, I just said alright. We then stayed quiet, not knowing what to say. Then he said forgive me."
"Forgive you for-"
"I'm getting there mom." Holley drew in a deep breath and sighed. "To forgive him for kissing me and then he just kissed me."
"I understand now, Holley."
"Which is?"
"Like you said, he was forced to work with Bryan, so looks like he was told to make you and Finn break up."
Holley stayed quiet and then nodded, softly whispering, "Yes…of course!"
Kimberly hugged her daughter and smiled. Holley hugged her mom back.
"Thank you, mom. I just have to try and contact Finn."
"Do you have his number?"
"Yes but I called him yesterday but he didn't answer."
Kimberly leaned back a bit, biting her lip. "Oh, you have to talk to him."
"I know…at least Emily already knows."
"She does?"
"Yes. I called her before coming here."
"Ah."
~O~
"Give me his medical records."
"I need assistance in the OR!"
"Can you get me some new needles?"
"Make way! Make way!"
"May you repeat your phone number, please?"
Emily made her way through the busy halls of the hospital, on her way to meet up with Chris. As she walked through the halls, she was pushed and nearly fell to the floor.
"Sorry!" A nurse quickly apologized, rushing a patient to the ER.
"Yeah…" Emily mumbled, walking again.
She finally saw Chris by the reception desk and she sighed with a smile. Walking up to him, she was greeted by a kiss.
"Hello, sunny." Chris smiled.
"Hey there, baby."
Chris grabbed Emily's hand and motioned toward the elevator. "Come on, let's spend our break time together."
"Alright."
Emily walked to the elevator with Chris and when the doors slid shut, she turned to Chris.
"Hey, did you…hear me talking on the phone?" Emily asked.
"No, why?"
"Just wondering."
"Come on, tell me. Is there something going on?"
"Well…yeah…there is."
"What's up?"
"My sister and her fiancé got into a fight and broke up."
Chris raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "So, they called the wedding off?"
"Supposedly. But she told me that she still has the ring."
"Ah, well, you want them to get back together, obviously, right?"
"Of course! And now, when dad finds out, which I think he already did, the problem is going to get even more wrose than it should be."
"May I know why?"
"Remember when my dad thought you were cheating on me?"
"Never mind…and don't use that time as an example, please?" Chris sighed, looking down at Emily.
"Oh, yeah. You told me not to remind you about that day." Emily winced and grabbed hold of Chris's hand. "No worries, I won't mention that ever again."
"Thank you."

Drake stood in front of the white door and looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. Lisa had told Drake to meet her up at her friend's house so he can meet Jenny.
The door opened to reveal a women with brown hair, with red highlights and green eyes. "Yes?"
"Hi, I'm here to meet up with Lisa. This is the address that Lisa gave me." Drake mentioned, showing the women the piece of paper.
"Ah, yes. Come in."
Drake walked in and he looked around, rubbing the back of his neck. "Where is she?"
"Go straight and then turn to the hallway on your left and Lisa's room is the third door on the right."
"Ok…thank you."
"No problem and by the way, my names Maribel."
Drake nodded, smiling. "Alright, Maribel." He then walked to Lisa's room and knocked. "Lisa?"
"Coming!"
Lisa opened the door and she hugged Drake tightly. "Drake! I have great news!"
"Really?" Drake grinned, hugging Lisa back. "What is it?"
"Come in, first. I'll tell you then."
Drake walked into the room and Lisa closed the door, then leaning against the door, smiling.
"Well, what do you want to tell me? What's the great news."
"You know, how you got the raise?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I had already told Clara that I have you and you're getting more money so she then said that they'll give me back Jenny by the end of this month!"
"W-what? By the end of this month?"
"Yes!" Lisa laughed, clapping her hands. "In 4 weeks I'll have my baby girl back!"
Drake couldn't help but laugh. His brushed his hands through his hair. "Can't believe it."
"I know. We can finally be a family. You, me and Jenny…living together in a beautiful house."
"Lisa, I am aching for our life to begin." Drake said, grabbing Lisa's hands.
"Same here! God! Just wait until we tell Jenny."
"She'll be blown!"
"And it's all thanks to you, Drake." Lisa sighed, laying her hand against Drake's shoulder. "If it weren't for you, my daughter would be living with some other family and I would be out in the streets."
"Don't think about that. You have me and I have you." Drake whispered, wrapping his arms around Lisa.
"I love you, Drake."
"I love you too, Lisa."
~O~
"So, you ready?"
"As I ever will be."
Lisa walked inside the building with Drake and she was greeted by Clara who was smiling.
"Hi, Lisa!" Clara greeted, giving Lisa a hug. "You're so lucky!"
"I know. Clara, this is my boyfriend, Drake."
"Hello." Clara smiled.
"Howdy." Drake greeted, nodding his head a little.
"So, you know the room, correct?"
"Of course I do, Clara." Lisa grinned.
"Alright. Then just go straight in."
"Ok. Come on, Drake."
Lisa and Drake went up to the second floor and went to room 2010 and walked right in.
"Jenny?"
"Mommy!" Jenny squealed, hugging Lisa's leg. "Mommy! I'm going to be back with you! I'm going back home with you!"
Lisa laughed and she picked up Jenny. "Yes, you are. I'm happy that you're finally going to be back with me. Safe in mommy's arms once again." Lisa said, hugging Jenny.
"Happy that your mother is getting you back, huh, Jenny?" Drake asked.
"Huh?" Jenny quickly looked up at Drake and got shy. "Yes…"
"Jenny, this is Drake. He's going to be your new daddy." Lisa explained.
"Oh…"
"We're got to get started on knowing each other, don't we?"
"Yes…w-we do." Jenny smiled.
Drake put his arms out and Lisa passed Jenny to Drake. Jenny wrapped her arms around Drake's neck and giggled. Drake walked to the rocking chair and sat down.
"So, do I look nice?" Drake asked Jenny.
"Yeah."
"You sure I don't look all too fancy to meet you, Jen? I think I should of brushed me hair even more, don't you thing? I mean, come on! I'm having a bad hair day!" Drake messed up his hair and pointed to it. "Look at that! Would you look at that?"
Jenny giggled and hugged her knees. "You're funny."
"Am I?"
"Yes. You're funny just how my daddy was like."
"That's great to hear."
Lisa walked toward Drake and Jenny. "I'm glad that you two are starting off clean."
"We can say the same, right, Jenny?"
"Yes."
Drake then grabbed Lisa by her waist and pulled her onto his lap. "Well, just to let you both know, I never been a dad."
"Being a dad is cool!" Jenny smiled.
"How do you know?"
"Daddy. He was always s happy and he told me being a parent is an amazing feeling ever."
"Ah, that's nice."
Lisa giggled and nodded. "Drake, you'll enjoy being a father."
"I already feel like a father." Drake whispered, looking at Lisa and Jenny. "Got you two…and I feel loved also."
Lisa and Jenny smiled and they both hugged Drake. In return, Drake hugged them back. For once, he was happy.

"Welcome to the C.H.R.O.M.E Training Academy." A computer voice said. "Today's training would be fighting. Know how to use your body when being cornered. Begin."
Finn threw a punch at a dummy and then kicked another. He punched and kicked until it started to get challenging.
"Challenger mode active." The computer said.
4 dummies came toward Finn so he jumped, splitting in the air and kicking two dummies and then spreading his arms open, punching the other dummies.
"Opponents defeated. Training completed."
Finn wiped the sweat off his forehead and grabbed a towel. He walked out of the training zone and he went to his office, locking the door behind him.
He walked toward his computer and turned it on. As the computer was warming up, he started to freshen up.
Putting on new pair of clothes he packed with him, he looked at his phone and sighed. Grabbing it, he went through the calls and saw the miscall from Holley.
He closed it again and went to his computer. He went to the C.H.R.O.M.E website which only the agents knew, obviously and he went through the list of agents that were in C.H.R.O.M.E. He stopped when he saw Holley's profile. He read her profile and saw that they had made a couple of changes.
Engaged and pregnant with agent Finn McMissile.
"Wow…why am I not surprised?" Finn sighed, rolling his eyes.
Clicking on his name that was highlighted to go to another link, he saw new information on his profile.
Engaged with Holley Shiftwell and father of Holley's unborn child.
"Well, at least they didn't include our fight."
"Finn? You in there?"
Finn quickly looked at the door and he went to the door, unlocking it. "Yes, Siddley?"
"Thought it would be great to see you."
"And?"
"I want to talk to you."
"About what?"
Siddley sighed, putting his hands in his pockets. "About Holley."
Finn pulled Siddley inside and he closed the door. "What about her?"
"She wants to talk to you. She called you yesterday but you didn't answer her."
"Yeah…"
"Finn, you don't realize how much she actually loves you." Siddley said, his eyes squinting.
"What are you saying?"
"Finn, she's lacking on the mission. You should see how she is. She's vomiting because of her pregnancy and I heard her cry for you in her sleep."
Finn stayed quiet, shocked about Holley's performance. She was never like this. He didn't all the pain he caused her. He felt stupid.
"I guess it's best to talk to her." Finn finally said.
"Yeah. I suggest you do that."
Siddley then left, leaving Finn alone in his office. Finn picked up his phone again and dialed Holley's number and then placed his phone to his ear. The ringing started as he waited for Holley to reply. He wanted to clean the mess that he had created in their relationship.
~O~
Holley coughed and leaned over the toilet. Quickly sucking in a breath after finishing vomiting.
She had been vomiting all day long and she wasn't liking it. Morning sickness, cravings, cramps, headaches and tiredness. To be honest, since she was staying with Siddley, she felt weird. Siddley had been taking care of her but she would of feel more comfortable if it was Finn.
"This is just great…" Holley mumbled.
As she started vomiting again, she didn't notice or hear her phone vibrating on the bed. Too busy being sick, the machine had answered instead.
~O~
"After the message please record your message."
Beep…
"Hey, Holley. It's me, Finn. I know it's weird for me to be calling you back but Siddley came by and told me that you are not being yourself. I been thinking of starting all over again with our relationship." Finn sighed and closed his eyes. "Holley, please call back so we can talk and start all over again. I'll be waiting."
Finn then hanged up and looked around his office. This is not going so well, he though. He slumped in his chair and groaned, rubbing his eyes. He's never been this stressed out before.
