Mia Shepherd possessed a quiet strength that belied the scars of her past. With dark brown eyes that held a world of emotion and chestnut hair framing her heart-shaped face, she exuded both grace and resilience. Despite her inner turmoil, she carrie...
The past few days have been tough for me. Ever since Jackson kissed me, I've been avoiding him at all costs. I ignore his texts and phone calls, I try my best to avoid him at work even though it's pretty impossible. I was walking around the hospital and I squealed when I felt someone grab my arm and drag me into an on-call room.

I look up and I see Jackson staring at me.
Jackson: "Mia, you can't keep avoiding me. We have to talk about this."
Mia: "Jackson, I can't-"
Jackson: "Mimi, please. You can't-"
Jackson gets interrupted when I get a text. I look at my phone and see the text is from Mer.
Mer Bear 🐻: "I need you. Come find me and Cris in the tunnels. It's super urgent."
Me: "Coming"
Mia: "I have to go. Mer needs me."
Jackson: "Mimi -"
Mia: "Look, we can talk later, okay? I have to go, Mer needs me."
I quickly kiss Jackson on the lips then run off to meet Mer. Halfway there, I realize what I did and I freeze up.
Mia: "crap"
I shake off my nerves then I run to the tunnels. When I get there, I see Mer pacing and Cris just standing there.
Mia: "Hey, I know you have major news Mer, but I have something to tell you guys too. But Mer, you go since yours sound way more urgent."
Mer takes something out of her pocket and puts it in my hand. I look down at my palm and my eyes widen when I see a positive pregnancy test.
Mia: "Oh my god. Mer, are you... are you serious? I-I'm gonna be a sister?"
Meredith: "You're gonna be a sister." I felt tears of joy well up in my eyes and threw Mer into the biggest hug.
Mia: "I know you're scared of the idea of being a mom but I promise, you're gonna be an amazing mom. You're nothing like Ellis at all. You're ready Mer."
Meredith: "Thank God you're gonna be the godmother." I pull away from Mer as my smile grows more.
Mia: "W-wait. Godmother? Really?"
Meredith: "I wouldn't want anyone else, Mimi." I start sniffling and I hug my best friend again.
Mia: "Oh my god, I'm so happy!!"
Meredith: "Okay, tell us what's wrong."
Mia: "It's nothing. We don't have to talk about it right now."
Meredith: "No, we can talk about it. What's up?" I let out a sigh as I sat on one of the beds.
