Chapter 12: Brand New Plumbobs

Holly: It's wonderful to see you Doctor Herman
Dr Herman: Holly? I haven't seen you since you were a little girl! How are you?
Holly: Not the greatest actually.....
Dr Herman: Of course not, you came to see me did you not? Just prop yourself on stretcher no. 3 , I'll be over shortly.

Dr Herman: Well, what seems to be the problem? 
Holly: I think I'm pregnant.....
Dr Herman: That's not a problem is it? Unless you want to abor....
Holly: No I'm keeping the baby. 

Dr Herman: Well then, why did you assume you were pregnant?
Holly: My period was late.
Dr Herman: By how long?
Holly: Two and a Half weeks.....
Dr Herman: Clearly, there's something out of the norm happening..... I'll just take a few tests then you'll get a call from me tomorrow evening.

 THE NEXT EVENING:
Holly: Theodore! We're getting a baby!!!!! 
Theo: Really?! Oh dammit! That's.....erm..... STUPENDOUS!
Holly: I KNOW!!! EEEP!

Holly: Heather, why are you dressed like that? And why the hell do you seem to have grown BIGGER?
Heather: Let's just say I got a bit of bread cooking in me oven. 

 Holly: You're preggers too? Way to steal my thunder.....again...... FARM IMPLEMENT!
Heather: And I heard you yelling to the world that you had some bread too!
Holly: Yep..... excited Heather?
Heather: Not really, They're cute but produce very contrasting odours.
Holly: LOL
Heather: You're supposed to actually laugh...... Not say LOL you idiot!

 The following week:
Holly: OOh, ahh, EEP! OWIE! OOOOOOWWWWWCHHHH!!! THEO! GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL
Theo: I've got the car ready!

 In the hospital
Holly: NOO! I refuse for you to be in labour... OW.... at the same....OOOWWWCH.... time as me!
Heather: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWCCCCCCHHHHHHH I make louder noises, hahahaha!
*THUD* Holly suddenly collapsed on the floor

 Dr Herman: She's out cold..... Had a miscarriage..... A severe one at that. Her hormones will be at a serious imbalance for three weeks. During that time, there will be no emotional shock that she shall undergo. Do I make myself clear?
Theo: Yeah, but why?
Dr Herman: She will go through a tumultous depression phase which wil cause her emotional pain for the rest of her life.
Theo: Okay..... wow..... but won't she be already scarred due to her dead baby?

Dr Herman: That's where you come in..... Heather over there has had triplets. Try negotiate with her for one baby. She's not very keen on them herself. 
Theo: A replacement baby?
Dr Herman: You could call it that. Do it for Holly. There is a 60% chance they aren't identical. So she'll be safe from the truth for as long as you want to hide it.

 Theodore glanced at his stillborn boy. Michael Winters. He would have been a great guy.... Pity....Theo thought to himself. He slowly approached Heather's stretcher.

Theo: Changed back I see?
Heather: Haha, yeah.... You really expect me to stay in that old hospital apron! Sheesh, I'm big already, no need to highlight it more!
Theo: I'm here to negotiate with you.
Heather: You may speak

 Theo: Holly had a miscarriage.....
Heather: Poor dear... shame..... What can I do to help her soul?
Theo: No need for the sarcasm Heather. She's in a really fragile state and seeing as you don't want your kids...
Heather: DON'T WANT THEM?
Theo: You really want them?
Heather: Nah, I was just pulling yer leg. Lemme guess, You want one of them for poor soul Holly?
Theo: Technically, Yeah.
Holly: CHAN! YOU CAN BRING OVER THE ONE AT THE END! YEAH, HIM!

Theo: Thanks a bunch Heather. How can I repay you? 
Heather: Take all three?
Theo: Nope, I'm fine with one thank you.

 Chan approached with a baby blue bundle......

 What a beautiful baby. Thank you Chan. Tell Heather that I owe you two my Life. 
Chan curtly nodded and flung the baby at Theodore.

Theo: Holly?
Holly: Hmmm? 
Theo: Would you like to see your baby? Michael?
Holly: I would love to dear.....
Will Holly ever find out about this dastardly plan? Will Theo get away with it? Will her hormone imbalance plummet her into depression? Find out next weekend
