Here's a chapter of Finding Holly.
There's possibly two chapters left after this one.
I own my OC Holly. Carmi, who is briefly mentioned, belongs to Kennedy's Friday Night Delight.
Enjoy the chapter...
It was a little over a month later. Luckily, Wayne didn't bring any charges against Mike over the unprovoked attack. Holly had about a month until her due date. She was having a hard time recently, suffering from headaches and feeling sick. John and Carmi had been away, but they made plans to return soon in time for the birth of the baby. Mike was allowed time off from WWE because he was unwilling to witness the birth of his first child.
"Come on sleepy!" Mike chuckled as he walked around to Holly's side of the bed.
"No, I'm staying in bed." Holly replied wearily.
"Still feel bad?" Mike asked her.
"Worse." The brunette nodded.
"I'll go get you some water." Mike smiled and kissed her head.
He frowned at how warm her head was. She must be running a temperature. He walked into the kitchen to get some more water for his fiancée, while Susan was clearing away the breakfast dishes. It had been two weeks since Holly had first complained of feeling ill. The Ohio native was beginning to really worry about her. Mike paused and turned to Susan, who looked at him with a worried look.
"I'm worried about Holly." Mike sighed.
"Me too." She nodded.
"I just felt her temperature. She's burning up." Mike frowned.
"I'll go and check it." Susan nodded as she opened the cupboard to find a thermometer.
Mike walked into the room and set a glass of water down on the bedside table. He folded his arms and watched as Susan took the thermometer and checked the reading. Holly sighed and took a sip from the glass of water. Her mother shook her head and sighed. The Ohio native sat on the bed next to his fiancé and lovingly stroked her baby bump.
"Holly, you're burning up." Susan sighed.
"I feel awful." Holly frowned.
"We should get a doctor." Mike nodded.
"No, no doctors." The brunette frowned.
"Mike's right, we need a second opinion." Susan told her daughter.
"Come on, for me?" Mike pouted.
"Ok, I'll see a doctor." Holly nodded.
Susan called the doctor, Dr. Chambers, who arrived soon after. He was in his forties with greying dark hair and thick-rimmed glasses. He wore a grey suit with a khaki green shirt and a shiny green tie. He wore a big silver watch and a thick silver wedding band was visible on his finger. He introduced himself to Holly and took her blood pressure and temperature, before examining her.
"I'm not happy with this. The temperature should be going down. Her blood pressure is a little too high also." Dr. Chambers explained.
"So, what can we do?" Mike asked him.
"I'm recommending that we get her to a hospital." The doctor replied.
"Is it serious?" Susan asked.
"It will be if she doesn't get treatment." Dr. Chambers answered.
"What about the baby?" Mike asked.
"If her condition doesn't pick up, they may decide to deliver the baby early." The doctor replied.
Mike and Susan looked at each other. They sighed and nodded. Neither of them wanted anything to jeopardise the health of Holly and her baby son. Persuading the brunette would be difficult, but hopefully she would agree to go to the hospital, for the sake of her unborn baby, if not for herself.
"Holly, we need you to go to the hospital." Mike told her.
"Do I have to?" she asked him.
"You do, yeah. I need to know that you and the baby are in safe hands." Mike reasoned with her.
"Ok." She replied in a whisper. Perhaps she was too tired to argue.
"Let's go." Susan nodded as they helped Holly out of the bed.
Two hours later, Gary joined Mike and Susan at the hospital. The doctors had been examining Holly for a while, which was making them all nervous. It seemed like ages before a woman in burgundy scrubs approached the trio in the waiting area. She had short honey blonde hair and noticeable teeth.
"You brought in Holly Redman?"
"We did." Susan nodded.
"Hi, my name is Dr. Lennox. I've been treating Holly." The woman explained.
"How is she?" Gary asked.
"We're concerned that her temperature and blood pressure was so high when she arrived. We managed to get them both down, although we need to monitor her overnight." Dr. Lennox explained.
"What about the baby?" Mike asked her.
"We're checking his progress. If Holly's condition doesn't clear up by this time tomorrow, she may have to have a caesarean section." The doctor replied.
"But she still has a month to go." Mike frowned.
"We would make sure that the baby was monitored. If necessary, we can give an injection to strengthen his lungs." Dr. Lennox replied.
"Can anyone see her yet?" Susan asked.
"One at a time for now. Are you Mike?" the doctor asked.
"I am." Mike nodded.
"Holly has been asking for you." Dr. Lennox nodded.
"You go in first." Susan patted the Ohio native's shoulder.
"Are you sure?" Mike frowned.
"Yes." Gary nodded.
Mike stood up and followed the doctor into a side room. Holly was lying on a bed, attached to a drip and a blood pressure monitor. A nurse was just putting a band-aid on her arm, where she had just taken blood for tests. He walked over and stood at the end of the bed. Holly smiled when she saw him, gesturing for him to come closer. He sat beside the bed and held her hand in his own.
"Did you speak to the doctor?" the brunette asked him.
"Just now." Mike nodded.
"They might have to deliver the baby early." Holly told him.
"I know. Hopefully they won't need to." Mike replied.
"But I might get worse." The brunette told him.
"That won't happen." Mike shook his head defiantly.
"But if it does…" Holly said.
"It won't happen." Mike replied, trying his hardest not to cry.
"Mike, will you listen to me!" Holly sighed.
"I'm sorry, go ahead." He nodded as he held her hand.
"If anything does happen to me, I want you to promise me that you'll look after our son." Holly told him.
"Nothing is going to happen to you." Mike assured her.
"But if it does, I need you to promise me that you'll look after our son." The brunette told him.
"Holly, you know I will." Mike replied, feeling a lump in his throat.
"Promise me." Holly nodded.
"I promise you that I will take care of our son." Mike told her.
"Good." The brunette nodded.
Mike stood up and leaned towards her. She stroked his cheek softly and kissed his lips. He kissed her back, hoping that this wasn't the last time he would be able to do so. Holly broke away and motioned for him to sit back down.
"And also, if anything were to happen, I want you to know that I would have loved to be your wife. I love you more than I ever admit." Holly smiled at him.
"You are going to be my wife. I'm not giving up until I get that ring on your finger." Mike smiled at her.
