Here's a slightly overdue chapter of Finding Holly.
Thanks to all the readers and reviewers.

I own my OC Holly.

Apologies for the wait. I've not been very well. Sorry if this chapter is poor.

The week went better than Mike had expected. Both Gary and Susan made him feel very welcome in their home. The Ohio native even managed to be civil towards Wayne and they were all set to join him for dinner. The trip made him feel closer to Holly and more determined to help her through the upcoming divorce hearing. It seemed to be really bothering her. She complained that she felt nauseous and anxious just thinking about it.

The previous day he had left her at home with her mother. Mike went to meet the kids that Gary coached football to. They were all pretty impressed to be meeting The Miz. They were even more impressed when they found out that he was dating their coach's daughter. It was actually cool to spend time with Gary. He was like any other guy when you looked past the fact that he was Holly's dad. After the coaching, Gary took Mike to a diner and they had hamburgers.

Now they were going next door for dinner at Wayne's house. Mike dressed casually, but then decided to look a little smarter in case Wayne's home was really smart inside. Holly wore a simple turquoise silk blouse with a black ruffled skirt and black knee high boots. As they walked up the path to Wayne's house, Mike found himself feeling nervous for the first time in ages. He loosened his shirt collar and held on to Holly's hand as they approached the front door.

"Hey guys." Wayne answered the door and ushered them into the house.

"Nice place." Mike told him as they entered the main room.

"Thanks. It was recently redecorated." Wayne told him.

"I liked it better blue." Holly frowned at the walls.

"That's typical of you." Wayne chuckled.

"So, what's on the menu?" Holly asked, sensing her boyfriend's nervousness.

"Your favourite." The dark haired man grinned.

"Peppered steak?" Mike asked.

"No, salmon fishcakes." Wayne replied.

"But, Holly's favourite is peppered steak." Mike told the other man.

"No it's not. She always liked salmon fishcakes best." Wayne replied.

"I think I would know. I am her boyfriend." Mike pouted a little.

"Holly, would you please correct your boyfriend?" Wayne asked her.

"You're both right, in a way. When Wayne and I dated, I did love salmon fishcakes. Now though, my favourite food is peppered steak." Holly explained.

"So I was right?" Mike's face broke into a grin.

"I guess so." The brunette nodded at her boyfriend.

"My mistake." Wayne sighed.

"I'd love to have those fishcakes though. I haven't had them in so long." Holly smiled at her ex.

They ate the meal, followed by some wine, but Holly felt sick. Once they were back at Holly's parents house they went to get ready for bed. Mike was brushing his teeth when his girlfriend ran into the bathroom and proceeded to throw up in the toilet.

"Are you ok?" Mike frowned at her.

"I feel so ill." The brunette groaned.

"Maybe we should get you to a doctor." Mike said.

"No, no doctor." Holly frowned and rested her head against the toilet bowl.

"You look awful." Mike told her.

"Thanks a lot." The brunette sighed.

"It'll pass." The Ohio native told her.

"What if it's back?" the brunette asked quietly.

"What's back?" Mike frowned, but then he understood.

"The cancer's come back. I deserve it, cause I've been an awful person." Holly wept.

"No, it's not back. And you are not a bad person." Mike assured her.

"I bet it was his cooking. If he's given you food poisoning…" Mike frowned as he walked over to the window.

"You ate the food too." Holly reminded him.

"But Holly, my immune system is healthy. Maybe yours was weakened by the treatment." Mike suggested.

"That would make sense." The brunette nodded.

"Try and get some sleep. We have to leave tomorrow." Mike said as he kissed the top of her head.

"I will." Holly groaned as she went and climbed into bed.

The following day, Gary and Susan drove the couple to the airport. Both parents seemed really taken with Mike and told him that he was welcome to stay with them anytime. Wayne hadn't put in an appearance, which Mike was quite pleased by. Holly still felt bad, although she hadn't been sick since the previous evening. The brunette rested her head on Mike's shoulder and closed her eyes. By the time they arrived back in Los Angeles, she was looking a little bit better.

"Do you need to sleep?" Mike asked as they entered their home.

"No, I'm good." The brunette replied.

"Right, we need some things. I'll go and you can rest." Mike told her.

"Whatever you say." Holly smiled at him.

As Mike left to go shopping, Holly was bothered by something. She knew that she had felt sick since before the meal, meaning that the chances of having food poisoning were very low. Heading into the bathroom, the brunette raided the cabinet for something that she was sure she had in there. Holly identified the white box and neatly put away the other things back into the cabinet. There was something that she needed to do. It would tell her whether or not the cancer had returned. If it hadn't returned, then her body may be trying to tell her something else.

A few minutes later, the brunette picked up the plastic wand and covered her mouth in shock. The display read simply "pregnant" and the brunette knew that this meant more problems. If she was having a baby, there was a chance that it could be either Mike's or Randy's. She's only just got back on track with Mike, but he would never forgive her if this wasn't his baby. Holly needed advice, but she didn't know who to talk to.

"Holly, I'm home." Mike yelled as he walked into the apartment.

"Just in the bathroom." The brunette yelled back.

"Everything ok?" he asked at the other side of the bathroom door.

"Fine." She replied, tucking the pregnancy test into her pocket and exiting the room.
