Here's a new chapter of Finding Holly.
Thanks to all for the reviews etc.
I own my OC Holly, as well as her parents. Carmi, who is mentioned, belongs to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight.
Enjoy the chapter and remember to let me know if you like it.
Mike awoke before Holly. He had spent the night in her bed at her parents' house. He was thankful that he hadn't been subjected to any abuse from Gary and Susan. He understood why Holly hadn't replied to the marriage proposal, but he wanted her to say yes so badly. He was at the point where he couldn't imagine spending his life with anyone except Holly. When she had told him that she was having a baby boy, he could have burst with pride and love.
The Ohio native glanced over to the sleeping pregnant woman and a smile crossed his lips. Mike gently placed a hand on the baby bump and moved to place his ear to it too. The sudden movement had awoken the Boston native. She lazily opened one eye, but she remained silent as she heard Mike begin to talk to her bump.
"Hey, I'm your dad. I know you can hear me, cause I read the pregnancy books. I wanted you to know that I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. You and me will have so much fun. You can even make fun of uncle John with me. Try not to cause too much trouble for your mom. I felt you kicking last night. You're pretty strong already. I love you." Mike smiled as he finished.
"That was sweet." Holly whispered.
"How long have you been awake?" Mike asked her.
"A while." The brunette shrugged.
"I meant that, you know." Mike told her.
"You're not going anywhere?" Holly raised a brow.
"Nope." The Ohio native shook his head.
"I'm glad." Holly smiled.
Mike smiled too. He slowly made his way back up the bed and caressed the brunette's cheek. Their blue eyes met as Mike inched forward and connected her lips with his own. Holly reciprocated the kiss and wrapped an arm around his neck, pulling him towards her. Holly's mother interrupted them as she entered the room to see what Holly wanted for breakfast.
"Sorry." She mouthed as she left the room.
"Are you going to the arena today?" Holly asked Mike.
"Yeah, I kind of have to." Mike replied.
"Can I come with you?" the brunette asked him.
"Are you sure you're up to it?" Mike frowned concernedly.
"I'm sure. I'd like to make my peace with Randy too." Holly nodded.
"I think that's a good idea." Mike nodded in agreement.
After breakfast, the couple made their way to the arena in Boston. Mike had a match and a promo to shoot later on. John was the first person to see Holly arrive at the arena. He whipped of his signature shades and smiled as he approached them.
"Holly, you look great." He told her, giving her a hug.
"I look huge." She corrected him.
"No you don't." Mike told her.
"I just sent Randy a message to come and meet me here." John smiled.
"I hope he's not still mad at me." Holly frowned.
"He's missed you." John told her.
"I missed him too. As a friend." She added when Mike raised a brow.
"So, what's new?" John asked her.
"Does he know the baby's sex?" Mike asked Holly.
"No." she shook her head.
"What was so important?" Randy asked as he approached John.
"Look who it is." John grinned and motioned to the Boston native.
"Holly!" Randy broke into a smile.
"Hi Randy." She returned a smile.
"Hey, the suspense is killing me!" John joked.
"You can tell them." Holly told Mike.
"We're having a baby boy." The Ohio native grinned like a kid at Christmas.
"Oh, that's great." John gave Mike a bro hug.
"I'm so pleased for you." Randy smiled and gave Holly a hug.
"So, are you two…?" John raised a brow.
"We're together. Just taking it day by day." Holly replied.
"Why don't you and Randy talk? I'll go with John." Mike suggested.
"Shall we?" Holly asked the Missouri native.
"I should apologise." Randy nodded as they walked over to some seats.
"I don't think it was entirely your fault." Holly shrugged.
"I know how much Mike adores you." Randy told her.
"He asked me to marry him." The brunette sighed.
"What did you say?" Randy asked warily, seeing that she was not wearing a ring.
"I really wanted to say yes, but I couldn't." the brunette sighed.
"Do you want to marry him?" Randy asked her.
"Of course I do." Holly nodded.
"What's stopping you?" Randy shrugged.
"I need to know that he'll be there for me and the baby." The brunette replied.
"I'm sure he will be." The Missouri native nodded.
"I'm sorry I didn't talk to you before now." Holly frowned.
"I kind of understand." Randy shrugged.
"I don't know what I'd have done without John." The Boston native smiled.
"He's been visiting his girlfriend on weekends." Randy replied.
"I didn't realise that he was seeing anyone." Holly gasped.
"It's been going on for a while apparently. It's Carmi Helms." Randy nodded.
"Hurricane's sister?" Holly raised a brow.
"That's the one." The Viper nodded.
"I've never met her." Holly told him.
"She hangs around within a certain group." Randy explained.
"Oh, those guys." Holly nodded.
"Yeah, Shannon Moore, Matt and Jeff Hardy…" Randy nodded.
"Wow, that's a hardcore group." The brunette sighed.
"Are you scared of them?" Randy smirked.
"They're all barbecues and dirt bikes and I'm from the suburbs of Boston. They'd eat me alive!" the brunette diva 's eyes widened.
"I'm sure they wouldn't Holly." Randy assured her.
"I'll take your word for it Randal." Holly raised a brow questioningly.
They walked back to where Mike and John were joking about something or other. John looked more relaxed and happy than he had in a while. This new girlfriend was obviously doing something right. Before Holly could say anything, the sound of gasps and cooing filled the air. The Boston native turned to see Eve and Jillian heading over towards her.
"We have missed you!" Jillian told her.
"Look how much you've grown." Eve gasped.
"How far along are you?" Jillian asked.
"Five months." Holly replied.
"Do you know what you're having?" Eve asked.
"A boy." Holly replied.
"Oh, I bet he'll look just like his daddy!" Jillian walked over to Mike and pinched his cheeks.
"Why wouldn't he? I'm awesome." Mike shrugged.
"Don't start that again." Holly sighed.
"Start what?" Eve asked.
"He was so excited about being a father, he even wrote a list of possible names." Holly explained.
"According to Holly, the baby wouldn't like to be called Awesome Mizanin." Mike pouted.
"That wasn't even the worse one on the list." Holly informed the others.
"He could have Awesome as a middle name." Mike reasoned.
"Why not just name him Adam?" the brunette shrugged.
"That's not even funny." Mike pouted.
"Hey, there's still time for choosing a name." John said.
"Are you going to give birth naturally?" Eve asked the Boston native.
"I don't want that image in my head." John frowned.
"I thought a birthing pool might be good." Holly replied to Eve's question.
"Will you be there during the birth?" Randy asked Mike.
"Of course." The Ohio native replied.
"He can get into the pool with me." Holly nodded.
"Cool." Mike nodded.
"So, John. I wanted to thank you so much for the help." Holly said to him.
"Oh, no problem." John smiled at her.
"She thinks that was your advice? Mike raised a brow.
"Carmi may have given me pointers on what to say…" John shrugged.
