A/N: Okay, this chapter, Arranged Love sort of earns its rating. I'm not all that good at fighting scenes, and nor is Adriana so please be nice. Writing this, I might have felt a little guilty for what I did to my original if I wasn't already feeling extremely guilty for what I've already done to Holly. So I hope you enjoy this chappie. BTW; I was listening to some weird song while I wrote this, so I have no idea what I was thinking. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Disclaimer: I haven't owned anything in any of the past chapters, what makes you think I'd own anything this chapter?
Zarroc: I'm sorry, but no. I really don't feel like changing my style of writing this far into the fic. But I will possibly consider brackets if ever I decide to do another bi-lingual fic. M'kay?
EVERYONE WHO READS THIS: Holly still has her baby. I just haven't mentioned it because I was acting sort of dumb. Plus I couldn't really think straight. But she still has it.
Outside Fowl Manner, 6:30, Same Day
Artemis stared in amazement as Holly materialized out of thin air. And she looked livid. Artemis doubted if he had ever seen her this angry. Well, perhaps during their first encounter…
He watched as Holly leaned down over the fallen Adriana, and began punching her with blow after blow of pent up anger. He stood there in shock for a few minutes, then remembered the situation. Holly was a trained LEPrecon jock. (Well, sort of.) Adriana was a spoiled Hispanic girl who probably never lifted a single weight.
He leaned forward, pulling Holly off a now thoroughly confused and thoroughly wounded girl. He pulled the elf close to him. "Holly, what are you doing here?"
She glared at him. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm beating the shit out of your moronic little…"
"I mean, why are you here?" He asked hurriedly before she could finish her sentence.
She paused. "I…I…" Why was she there? Why had she come? She might have thought about it all night if Artemis hadn't decided to speak at that point.
"I've missed you so much Holly." He murmured, pulling her closer.
She snorted. "Yeah right!"
He raised his eyebrows. "What are you talking about?"
She glowered at him. "I'm not an idiot, Artemis. I saw you. Over a month ago?"
Adriana sat up. "What? You're insane!"
Holly punched her in the nose, making her fall back again. "Shut up and stay on the ground!" Holly ordered
"Stop that! And I haven't the slightest idea what you mean!" But he did know. He knew exactly what she was talking about. But how could she have seen that?
"You moron!" she shouted. "You know exactly what I'm talking about!"
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Your right, I do know. But you must understand, it wasn't what it looked like! We both fell down the stairs, and she was knocked unconscious."
"Then why did you carry her up the stairs?"
"What, was I supposed to leave her there?"
"No. You were supposed to get someone to help."
"It was 11:00 at night! Everyone was asleep."
"Then why were you awake?"
"I was trying to get to the computer to find a way to STOP THE WEDDING!"
"Can I say something?" asked Adriana.
"NO!" They shouted in unison.
There was a short silence, then Holly said. "So…you weren't…you never…"
"No, Holly." He whispered. "I love you. Only you."
She smiled, tears slowly going down her face. "I love you too, Artemis. But what can we do? You're getting married in a month and a half. I'll have to get rid of the baby and…"
"Holly, that's it!" He cried, grabbing her and swinging her into his arms.
"What? What's it? Artemis, what are you talking about?"
He beamed at her. "The baby Holly! Your baby is my child as well. Meaning I already have an heir! So there's no point in me having an arranged marriage!"
She was silent for a few seconds. Then she grinned. "You know, I think that could work!"
Adriana looked at them. "Can I get up now?"
"Yes, you'll have to come with us." Artemis muttered, more to himself then to her. "Come on, we have to go see my parents!"
A/N: Okay, so I didn't exactly over do it on the violence, but like I said; I suck at writing fighting scenes. Anyways, I shall have the next chapter out by Thursday. See you then!
