Here's another chapter of Finding Holly.
Thanks for all reviews. I appreciate them.
I own Holly. Carmi belongs to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight.
I'm guessing that I have less than ten chapters left...
With John and Mike being occupied with work, Carmi was more than happy to continue to act as Holly's minder. The Boston native wasn't going to argue about it. Her parents had been very welcoming towards their daughter's fellow divas and superstars. Despite still having three months to go, Mike had already begun to prepare a hospital bag for Holly, just in case.
At dinner the previous evening, Mike had asked what Holly was like as a baby. This resulted in Gary climbing up to the attic and returning with a box full of family photographs. Any hopes of banishing them back to the attic were dashed when Carmi headed straight to the box on her arrival. She dragged the box over to the couch and began removing the photo albums.
"Is that you?" Carmi asked as she pointed to a blue-eyed baby.
"Yeah." Holly nodded.
"Check out your dad's hair!" Carmi grinned as she pointed at another photo.
"He had a bigger perm than my mom." Holly shook her head and frowned.
"You look like your mom." Carmi informed her.
"Thanks. Most people say that." Holly replied.
"Hey there." Carmi smiled at Bruce the dog. He looked up at her and blinked his brown eyes.
"Oh no! I hate that picture." Holly frowned at the next photo.
"You look very…" Carmi searched for the right word.
"Like a giant raspberry?" Holly suggested.
The photo was of Holly and Wayne at her prom. She wore a very frilly pink dress. Her hair was pinned up and sprayed with glittery hairspray. The Boston native thought that she looked like an overgrown Christmas fairy. It was the one time that her mother tried to make her look more feminine. Not that she looked manly, but Holly would choose jeans over a skirt any day.
"When was this taken?" Carmi asked as she picked up another photo.
"That photo was taken the night I got married." Holly sighed.
"You were married?" Carmi raised her brow.
"Unfortunately." The Boston native nodded.
"So…?" the smaller brunette shrugged.
"What?" Holly frowned.
"You can't tell me that and then stop." The baby of the Carolina Crew told her.
"I was with the other guys celebrating the end of our developmental course. It was in Vegas. I drank way too much and woke up married to the course mentor." Holly sighed.
"Was he hot?" Carmi asked her.
"Adam Copeland?" Holly frowned.
"You married Edge?" Carmi gasped.
"We only just got divorced." Holly nodded.
"John never said anything." Carmi shook her head.
"It's not something I like to admit." The Boston native shrugged.
"Although, speaking of weddings…" Carmi grabbed Holly's left hand.
"You like?" Holly raised a brow.
"Of course I like." Carmi nodded. The taller brunette frowned.
"You helped pick out the ring, didn't you?" Holly sighed.
"He wanted it to be perfect for you." Carmi reasoned.
Holly admired the sparkling silver and diamond ring on her finger and nodded.
The two brunettes continued their conversation until Holly let out a startled yelp.
"What's wrong?" Carmi asked immediately.
"That was a sharp pain." Holly gasped.
"Do you need me to call Mike?" Carmi asked her.
"No, I think it's gone now." The Boston native replied.
"Let me know if it happens again." The baby Hurricane told her.
"I will." Holly nodded.
"Have you practiced any of these?" Carmi asked as she flipped through a book of pregnancy exercises.
"We did try some, but Mike complained that it was too difficult." Holly replied.
"And he's not even pregnant." Carmi sighed.
"That's the way he is." Holly let a smile cross her lips.
"I can't believe that you're the girl who's won over The Chick Magnet. He never wanted commitment and he never loved anyone like that. You must have done something right." Carmi chuckled.
"I think I was more trouble than I was worth at first." Holly admitted.
"Don't say that I told you. John says that Mike was a mess without you." Carmi whispered.
"My lips are sealed." The Boston native nodded.
"You and John are together?" Holly raised a brow questioningly.
"We are. We've had our share of ups and downs, but we're good now." The baby of the Carolina Crew replied.
"Can I ask you something?" Holly chewed her bottom lip nervously.
"Sure, what is it?" Carmi asked her.
"Well, I don't have any siblings or any good female friends…so I was wondering if you would be my maid of honour when Mike and me get married?" Holly asked her.
"I would love too. I'm sure that Mike would love that too." Carmi nodded and leaned in to hug Holly.
"Oh, here we go." Holly nodded as her unborn baby kicked her.
"Can I feel?" Carmi asked eagerly.
"Sure." Holly nodded.
"So, do you have any names picked out?" Carmi asked her.
"I have a couple in mind. I'll probably go with something completely different though." The Boston native replied.
"I'm sure Mike has had some suggestions." Carmi smiled.
"If you can count Awesome and Mizfit as name suggestions." Holly laughed.
The guys soon arrived back, along with Randy. Susan arrived back after that. She was in the kitchen preparing a meal for all of them. Mike was concerned about Holly's twinge earlier, but she and Carmi assured him that it had not happened since. John and Carmi seemed to be really close, which made Holly feel sorry for Randy. The Missouri native had to sit with the two couples, unless he joined her mother in the kitchen.
"You ok Randy?" Holly frowned.
"Fine." He nodded.
"What?" Holly frowned as he started to laugh.
"I just realised that your mother is the only one here, who hasn't seem Mike naked!" he replied.
"Actually…" Mike started.
"Oh please." Holly sighed.
"I forgot my towel. I thought I could run back to your room without anyone seeing…" Mike pouted a little.
"Mom?" Holly yelled.
"Yes honey?" Susan walked into the room.
"Why didn't you tell me that you saw my fiancée naked?" Holly asked her.
"Because there was nothing to see." Susan shrugged.
"Excuse me?" Mike gasped.
"He was just out of the shower…" Holly's mother shrugged.
"No, he looks like that all the time." Randy informed her.
"I am the real deal sex appeal!" Mike pouted.
"To me you are." Holly nodded and kissed his cheek.
