Baby with my best friend (Casualty)

16

Holly stood in the Ed as she got to work. She was tired. She was finding it hard to handle smiled alone but she knew that the last thing that she wanted was to face cal, she couldn't even talk to him after all that had happened.

She was still heartbroken over what he had done to her. Holly sighed as she rubbed her tired eyes as lexi walked over to her and smiled

"you look like crap hol. Are you okay?" Lexi asked as she looked to her and smiled

"Emilie is teething so I'm not really sleeping that much, I'm so exhausted and I can't even look at him. He hasn't even tried to see Emile. I was an idiot" holly said as Lexi looked to her and frowned

"what do you mean?"

"I fell in love with him, I knew what he was like. I knew he knew a player and I fell in love with him" holly said as Lexi looked to her and smiled. Lexi felt awful seeing how much her best friend was struggling.

She knew how much that she wanted to be there for her but she knew that she couldn't change how hurt that cal had made holly

"he really isn't worth it hol" Lexi said as she looked to see cal as he walked in. Holly frowned to herself as she saw him walk in with a girl and felt her heart break

"hol, what is it?" Lexi asked as a tear rolled down her face

"that's Taylor, it's who he cheated in me with" holly said as she walked off.

She was heartbroken and couldn't believe cal had done this to her

Lexi walked into the staffroom and smiled as she saw holly crying "are you okay?"

"No, if it's not bad enough he cheated on me he comes on with her, how could he" holly sobbed.

Lexi sighed. "He's a pig and you can do better than him. Okay? Make him realise what he's lost. Because he'll soon regret it when he realises that you've moved on."

Holly nodded and smiled. "Fancy going out tonight?"

Lexi laughed and nodded. "I'm pregnant. But okay. Hey! We could get Iain to babysit Emilie? Practice for when squirt comes?"

Holly nodded. "Yes!"

Holly and Lexi walked towards the ambulance station. Iain was sitting in the back of the ambulance.

Iain smiled. "Hello baby mamma and baby mamma's best friend."

Holly grinned. "So. You know how you're going to be a daddy? Well you need experience so. Would you like to babysit Emilie so your baby mamma and I can go out?"

Iain looked at Lexi. "You going out? You can't get drunk. You're pregnant."

"Yes Iain. I know. It's called Mocktails," Lexi said as she looked at him.

Iain rolled his eyes but sighed. "She isn't going to cover me in felt tip pen is she?"

"She is a baby. She doesn't know what felt tip pens are. She will sleep and cry. That's it," Holly said.

Iain nodded. "Fine."

Holly saw Cal walk towards her. She sighed. "Can I help you?" She asked.

Cal nodded. "I want us to talk. I know we're not together anymore. But I want to talk about custody of Emilie. I want her every other day."

Holly sighed. "I'm not in the mood to talk about this. Maybe tomorrow," she said.

She knew that she would always be in love with Cal. But would love be enough to bring them back together?
