Sorry I wasn't very fast to update this one.
Thank you to all who have read and reviewed this story.
I own my OC Holly.
I hope you enjoy the twists in this chapter.
Today it was the day of Holly's operation. Mike was worried, although he was doing his best to hide it. The brunette diva seemed to be relatively calm given the circumstances, and was busy packing her overnight bag for hospital.
"Holly?" he asked her.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"Are you feeling ok, about this?" Mike asked her.
"Yeah, I want to do this." Holly nodded and zipped up her overnight bag.
Mike sighed and reached out his arms to envelope her in a hug. The diva sighed too, as she rested her head against Mike's chest.
They drove in silence to the hospital and held onto each other as they walked the corridor to the doctor's office. He explained some things to the both of them, such as how long the operation would take, and which anaesthetic they would be using. Mike sighed as he squeezed Holly's clammy hand in his.
A nurse came to collect Holly and handed her a gown to change into. Mike paced the corridor as he waited for her to return. She was smiling as she walked back down the hall towards him. He frowned as she pulled him into a hug and giggled to herself.
"What?" he asked her, puzzled.
"Can you see my ass in this gown?" she asked.
Mike leaned over her shoulder and glanced.
"No, not really." He shook his head.
"Oh good." The brunette grinned and leaned up to kiss him.
"I love you. I thought you should know that before…" Mike stopped as Holly placed a hand on his chest.
"I told you not to say that just because I'm sick." The brunette scolded her boyfriend.
"Sorry." The Ohio native shrugged and kissed her forehead.
"By the way, I love you too." She smiled at him.
Mike grinned and pulled her into the biggest hug, with all of the strength that he could muster up. His anxieties were weighing heavy on his mind now, wondering if something could go wrong in the operating theatre. Would this be the last time that he felt her warm body or smelt the scent of hairspray in her deep chocolate curls? He was mentally trying to make a note of everything about this moment. It was almost as if his life since he met her was being played in his mind.
"So, did you find out what Maryse was upset about?" Holly asked, drawing him back into reality.
"Um, no. I will though." He replied.
"Why don't you go now?" Holly asked him.
"I'm staying here with you." The Ohio native shrugged.
"But honey, I'll be a couple of hours in surgery, plus another couple in recovery. Instead of sitting around, why don't you go check on Maryse?" the brunette shrugged.
"But…" Mike began to protest, but the look on his girlfriend's face told him not to push it.
"Ok, but I will be back straight after that." He told her.
He left his girlfriend in the capable hands of the doctors and set off across town to find Maryse and get to the bottom of what was troubling her. Mike felt that the women in his life were giving him more trouble than usual. He pulled up outside the apartment where Maryse was staying and got out of the car to ring the buzzer.
After a short while, the blonde came to the door, looking a little worse for wear. She was wearing a pink t-shirt and matching jogging bottoms. Her platinum hair was roughly tied to one side and her eyes looked a little red, as if she had been crying. Mike stepped forward and enveloped her in a hug. She began to sob as he stroked her hair and whispered softly to her. He walked her into the apartment and sat her on the couch. He went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water for her.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked her.
"I'm being punished." Maryse sobbed.
"What? Why would you be punished?" the Ohio native asked.
"Because I slept with you while Holly was away." The blonde sniffed.
"Hey, I thought that we'd gotten over that." Mike sighed and smiled.
"I realised that something was wrong at the end of our match. That's why I started crying." Maryse explained.
"Um, ok. What was wrong?" he asked her confusedly.
"I started to bleed." The blonde replied as she sobbed a little more.
"Did you get hurt?" Mike asked, assuming that she was talking about the match.
"No, I was bleeding and I was pregnant." Maryse told him.
"Pregnant?" Mike gasped and thought for a moment.
"I found out a few days before. Nobody else knew." She told him.
"Am I the father?" the Ohio native asked her.
"No, and I miscarried." The blonde explained to him.
"And you had to deal with this all by yourself?" Mike asked her.
"Yes." She nodded as she twisted her platinum locks around her fingers.
Mike felt an uneasy feeling within him. He had to ask her a question now, just one question that was spinning in his mind. She looked as if she was expecting this. She bit her lip and looked at the floor. The Ohio native sighed as he prepared to speak.
"Who was the father?" he asked her.
"Mike, please…" she began to protest.
"Please, tell me." Mike begged her.
"Adam." She spoke in almost a whisper.
"Adam, as in Edge?" Mike questioned her.
"Yes. I'm not proud of it." Maryse shook her head and began to sob again.
"Did he know?" Mike asked.
"No. He pretended that he didn't do anything." The French Canadian wept.
Mike was now stuck in a conflict of emotions. On one hand he was worried about Holly, but he was also concerned for Maryse. As for Edge, he was furious with him. Once the two women were back on their feet, Mike would be settling a few scores with the so-called Rated R Superstar.
He comforted Maryse for as long as he could, until he had to get back to the hospital to see Holly. He saw the doctor as he left the elevator on Holly's floor. The man smiled at him, which Mike took to be good news. Lord knows he needed some good news at that point.
"Well, the operation looks to be a success." The doctor smiled.
"That's great." Mike sighed with relief.
"She's back in her room now. The nurse will direct you." The doctor told him.
"Thank you doctor." Mike smiled and shook his hand.
The Ohio native approached the desk and smiled at the nurse.
"Hi, I'm here to see Holly Redman." He told her.
"Ok, but she has a visitor right now." The nurse replied.
"But, nobody knows that we're here." Mike frowned.
"He says he's her husband." The nurse explained.
"Oh. Thank you for your help." Mike replied as he headed to the room.
He didn't bother to knock on the door. He walked in with a bouquet of flowers that he had bought in the hospital store. Holly immediately sat up and smiled. Mike smiled as his brain registered that she was actually alive and smiling. A moment later he frowned as the cocky Canadian sat on a chair in the corner and smirked a little. The Ohio native wasn't going to cause a problem right now because his priority was Holly. Mike nodded at the blonde.
"Nice of you to visit." He told him.
"The least I could do." Edge replied.
"How did it go?" Holly whispered in Mike's ear as they embraced.
"I'll tell you later." He replied as he shot daggers at the Canadian in the corner.
