Chapter Five

Hollie had been out of hospital with Scarlett for a week now and they were at Ryan's condo settling into parenthood when Eric arrived as he wanted to find out why Hollie cheated on him with Ryan for that length of time.

Once Ryan allowed Eric inside, he saw Scarlett asleep in her bouncer, when Eric asked " When did the affair start?" and Hollie then tells Eric " It started after you said to Ryan to make sure I was ok and we kissed then decided to see each other in secret." which surprised Eric just a little bit and Ryan nodded as he was confirming what Hollie said.

Eric then asked Hollie " When did you realise that you loved Ryan?" and Hollie replied " About four months into our affair." which made Ryan smile as he held Hollie in his embrace lovingly when Eric sighed seeing how happy Hollie was with Ryan.

Ryan rested his head on Hollie's shoulder while Eric watched them together and realised how much they loved each other and for Ryan all he could do was make sure that his daughter had a happy childhood and he also knew that Hollie had the same thoughts for their daughter.

Eric had to admit defeat as Hollie was serious about being with Ryan and their little girl who was still asleep in her bouncer.

Hollie knew that her love for Ryan was never gonna end as she loved him deeply and when she realised that she'd fallen in love with him four months into their affair, it made her want to be with Ryan for the rest of her life and now that was happening which made Hollie very happy and also Ryan too.

Ryan then whispered to Hollie about them getting married and Hollie whispered her answer back to Ryan who smiled happily with the answer that Hollie had given him, Ryan knew that Hollie was his and only his.

Eric then left them alone and thought back to when the team noticed the sparks between Hollie and Ryan but didn't think much of it until Eric told them about their secret affiar and about Scarlett being Ryan's kid which did take the team by surprise as they thought that Eric was the dad but turned out to be Ryan instead.

Hollie gently lifted Scarlett out of her bouncer to give her a drink of milk while Ryan made up Scarlett's milk bottle for her, then handed it to Hollie when Scarlett saw the bottle and tried to hold it which made Ryan smile at what his little angel was trying to do.

Will Eric ever forgive Hollie and Ryan for their affair?
