A new chapter of Finding Holly.
Thanks to all who read and reviewed.
I own my OC Holly.
I enjoyed writing this chapter so much. It's epic in it's own little way!
The next couple of days were a blur to Holly. She was well aware of the fact that she had to tell both Mike and Randy that she was pregnant. The Boston native had made a decision that she would have the baby with or without their support. Her main priority was the safety of her unborn child. At the arena, she had arranged to meet with Vince and Stephanie to inform them that she would be unable to compete. The brunette arrived at the door of the office and knocked on it.
"Holly, how nice to see you." Vince smiled as he opened the door.
"You too." Holly nodded.
"Take a seat." Vince told her as he took a seat next to his daughter.
"So, what can we do for you?" Stephanie asked her.
"I've just found out that I'm pregnant." Holly replied.
"Congratulations." Both Vince and Stephanie told her.
"Thanks. Obviously I won't be able to compete. Does this mean that my contract gets terminated?" The Boston native asked nervously.
"Not at all." Stephanie shook her head.
"We'll let you return after the baby arrives, if that's what you want." Vince nodded.
"It is. I love this job." Holly smiled gratefully.
"Mike must be looking forward to becoming a father." Vince added.
"He doesn't know yet." The brunette replied.
"Our lips are sealed." Stephanie assured the Boston native.
"Thank you. I'm just getting my head around it." Holly smiled.
"You're lucky. After your treatment you might have had complications conceiving. You've been blessed with a baby. Make the most of the experience." Stephanie told her.
"I agree. You feel confused now, but when you hold that baby in your arms…it's a rush of pure love." Vince smiled.
"Thanks. I'm going to get some fresh air. Nausea." Holly added.
"Good luck with everything." Stephanie smiled and waved as she left the office.
Holly walked the corridors and let out a sigh of relief as she exited the double doors into the outdoor area. The smell of the food in catering made the brunette feel really nauseous, so she had been spending more time outdoors in the fresh air. A tap on the brunette's shoulder startled her. She spun around to see Randy smiling down at her, cigarettes in hand.
"Want one?" he asked her, holding up the packet.
"No." Holly shook her head.
"Something wrong?" Randy frowned.
"Nothing." Holly shook her head.
"Did you give up smoking?" the Missouri native asked her.
"I guess so." She shrugged.
"Talk to me. I can tell something's wrong." Randy stared at her with those steely eyes.
"I need to talk to Mike." Holly announced and went to walk past Randy.
"Holly!" grabbed her shoulder and spun her to face him.
"What?" she asked him.
"Are you ill?" Randy asked concernedly.
"Why do you say that?" Holly frowned.
"Mike said that you've been sick." Randy replied.
"I caught a bug. My immune system was weakened by my treatment." The Boston native shrugged.
"Hey Holly, I've been looking for you." Mike grinned as he walked towards the pair.
"I've been…" the brunette started but was cut off by her boyfriend.
"Having a meeting with the boss." Mike raised a brow.
"How did you know?" she asked him.
"Cody saw you going into the office." Mike replied.
"I had to see Vince and Stephanie." The brunette sighed.
"Did you get fired?" Mike asked with considerable concern.
"No. I had something to tell them." Holly said.
"What?" Randy and Mike asked in unison.
"Seeing as I have you both here…I'm pregnant." Holly came out with it.
Randy almost choked on his cigarette, while Mike seemed to register it after a few seconds. Holly watched as his face turned from shock to happiness and then to confusion and realisation. The Ohio native's expressions meant that no sooner had he realised that he'd be a father, he realised that he might not be the father at all. The other possible father had a serious expression, like he was thinking back to when the baby would have been conceived.
"Is it his?" Mike asked calmly and nodded towards Randy.
"I have no idea." Holly replied truthfully.
"Are you keeping it?" Randy asked her.
"Yes. With or without you two." Holly added.
"Are you going to do a test or something?" Mike asked his girlfriend.
"I'd rather do it after the birth. I already have a higher chance of miscarriage." Holly replied.
"I love you, I do. But this is too much." Mike sighed and ran a hand over his hair.
"Are you breaking up with me?" Holly asked him.
"I don't want to, but I'm not sure I can be with you if the baby's not mine." Mike shook his head.
"Is that a subtle way of asking me to have an abortion?" the brunette asked.
"I don't know." Mike shrugged.
"Well it's not an option. This could be my one chance of having a baby." Holly told him.
"Not my problem." Mike shook his head and walked away.
"What about you?" Holly asked Randy.
"What about me?" he frowned.
"Do you want to be involved?" the Boston native asked him.
"I'm not looking for any commitment." Randy sighed and looked away.
"So, it was fine when you wanted to sleep with me? Now that I'm knocked up you change your mind." Holly shook her head.
"That's not what I said." Randy replied.
"You've made yourself clear." The brunette shook her head.
"Holly…" Randy sighed.
"No, I'm done here." She replied and walked away.
Holly kept walking until she literally collapsed in a heap on the floor. Hot tears were escaping from her big blue eyes and she could hardly breath for sobs. In the space of an hour she had lost her job, for however long, as well as the two men she cared about the most apart from her dad. Now she would have to tell her parents about her pregnancy. They had loved Mike, so much that they would ask questions if they knew that he had left her alone and pregnant.
Holly was afraid of her parents being ashamed of her. She was their only child and if they knew the whole story, they'd surely be disappointed in her. They would find out at a later date. The brunette had suffered too many rejections for one day. At least she had kept her promise to John, by telling both men about her pregnancy. Hopefully John wouldn't desert her just because Mike and Randy had. Perhaps he could even reason with them.
"Hey, what's wrong?" a voice asked.
Holly raised her tear stained face to see Adam standing over her.
"Get away from me." Holly hissed.
"I want to help. You're shaking." The Canadian frowned with genuine concern.
"Why would you want to help me?" the brunette raised a brow suspiciously.
"Because I still care." Adam replied and helped her to her feet.
"Thanks." Holly sniffed as she wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" the blonde man asked her.
"Would you listen?" Holly asked him.
"Yes." Adam nodded and wrapped an arm around her trembling shoulders.
What do you think?

Will Adam be an unlikely help?
