The Fox and The Roscoe {Hollyoaks}

Nine

Mia sighed as she laid in bed. She tried to call Warren. She wiped away the tears from her eyes. Mia felt so alone and afraid. She didn't know what to do. She was pregnant and Warren was on the run for something he may or not have done.

Mia knew she wanted to cry and sit in a corner. But she couldn't. She had a baby to think about. And she knew Warren was on the run. And she knew she was pregnant with his baby. She knew that without or without him, she was going to have that baby.

Mia looked up as Layla walked into the room and smiled. "Hey. How you feeling?" Layla asked as she sat next to her on the bed.

"Tired. I mean, I don't know what to do or think. He actually left me. I didn't think he would leave me pregnant. He said the police got it wrong. So I don't see why he didn't prove it. I'm alone and we don't all have a Sami Maalik," Mia said.

Layla smiled. "Sami and I haven't always had it easy. Trust me. But you need to be strong. Not just for the baby. But for yourself. I know it's hard but Warren left. And you need to try and forget him," Layla said as Mia smiled knowing she was right.

Mia walked into the kitchen and smiled as she saw Sandy who looked at her and smiled. "Are you okay?" Sandy asked.

Mia sighed. "I've been better. He walked out on me. But I have the baby to think about," she said.

Joe walked in and frowned. "You're pregnant? You were stupid enough to let that thug get you pregnant?" Joe said.

Mia looked to him. "Don't start. It's nothing to do with you," Mia said.

"You can't have a baby with him. He'll let you down."

"Not that it is anything to do with you. But he already has. He's left," Mia said.

Joe nodded. "Good. And the best thing you need is to get rid of his sprog," Joe said.

Mia glared as she looked at him. She slapped him. "Go to hell! This is my baby and you're not my father! You can't tell me what to do. No one can," Mia spat as she walked off.

She couldn't believe all that was happening. And she couldn't believe Joe had the nerve to tell her to have an abortion.

She knew that she was alone. And that she didn't have Warren but she didn't care. It was her baby and she was keeping.

Mia walked through the village. She felt alone and scared. She missed Warren. But she knew that it was unlikely he would ever come back. And that she would ever see him again.

Mia was hurt but also knew she had her baby to think about. And that she didn't know what to do for the best. Mia knew that she had to find a way to move on from Warren and forget him.

She knew it wouldn't be easy. But could Mia actually move on or would Warren continue to play on her mind knowing he had hurt her so much?
