Baby with my best friend (Casualty)

20

Holly was sitting in the flat with Emilie. She was missing Cal. But she knew deep down that she couldn't go there again. He had broken her heart.

There was a knock at the door. Holly stood up and answered it. She smiled when she saw Lexi standing there. "I'm going to kill my baby daddy. He's driving me inane. He won't let me drink coffee. He won't let me eat bacon," she told her.

Holly grinned and let her best friend in. "Come on. I have bacon. And I'm due at work in an hour so we can go in together," she said.

Lexi nodded. She sat down on the sofa and sighed. "How's things going with Cal? Have things changed?"

Holly sighed and shook her head. "No. I'm just... I miss him and I want to be happy. He cheated on me but I don't know if I can give him that chance."

"Yeah I know. But if there ever was a chance that you would go there again, would you?" Lexi asked.

Holly looked at her and sighed. She didn't have an answer to that.

Arriving at work, she saw Cal waiting for her. He took Emilie from her and smiled. "Hello my pretty girl. Daddy has missed you so much."

Holly smiled slightly. "You sure you still want her this weekend?" She asked.

Cal nodded and smiled. "Of course. I've got some Peppa Pig DVDs. You could come too for a couple hours. Let her see us together," he said.

Holly shrugged. She sighed. "I don't think we should rush anything. We're not together Cal. You broke my heart and I think for the time being, we focus on Emilie. And raising her the best way possible."

"Yeah but we can be friends. Maybe even something more."

Holly rolled her eyes. "No. You're with someone. That someone you cheated on me with. So go get a little something more from her," she said as she walked off.

Holly was annoyed with how Cal wanted sex from her. It was him wanting sex that ruined their relationship. He had gotten sex from elsewhere.

Holly went to find Lexi. She saw her eating a bag of chips. She smirked. "Oh come on. You aren't sharing?" She asked as she looked at her.

Lexi smiled. "Come sit. We can share. I won't eat all these anyway. I only wanted them cause Iain wants me to eat a salad."

"Oh god. It gets worse. Why would he want you to eat a salad?"

"I don't know. But I've told him he's not having a kebab if I can't have my food," Lexi said. She looked at her. "You don't look happy. What's up?"

"Cal. He told me he wants me to go over and spend some time with him and Emilie when I take her over. And he said we can have a little something more. He doesn't understand how hurt I am after everything," Holly said.

Lexi smiled. "You just gotta talk to him Hols. Let him know that you're too hurt after everything. Don't let him ruin your heart again," she said

Holly nodded and sighed. But with her feelings for Cal coming back, would she be able to give him a second chance?
