Chapter 29: This Is Hell

Mia's POV

*One Week Later*

I tapped my fingers on the arm of the couch as I heard the phone line ring. I moved my hand to my belly as I felt my daughter give me a few hard kicks. I wonder if she could tell I was nervous. I rubbed where she was kicking, biting down on my lip.

"Hello?" I heard the familiar male voice answer.

"H-Hi dad," I said, fully expecting him not to answer after I heard the fifth ring.

"Hey Mia," he said quietly. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I had no clue what to say. So many words were racing around my brain, all fighting to get out, but it was like they couldn't find the door. My thought process was interrupted when I heard the exact words I've been wanting to hear.

"I'm sorry," my dad said in a low voice.

"What?" I asked, slightly caught off guard. I was not expecting him to apologize that fast.

"I'm sorry Mia, I shouldn't have reacted like that. I'm not disappointed in you, I could never be. You just dropped a lot on us all at once and I reacted without thinking," he said. I blinked away tears and took a deep breath as I tried to respond to him.

"I know it was a lot, but I felt like it was better to get all of the surprises out of the way at once rather than drop little bombs of information here and there."

"Yeah, I know."

"Andy's a really good guy."

"I trust you," he said. I could tell he still wasn't convinced.

"He invited me to Ohio after I left your house. He took care of me. He's a good person, he's going to be an amazing father."

"I still want to meet him, Mia."

"Then come to his concert in Nashville. You'll get to see the real him, the one living his dream. He reserved tickets for you, mom, Asher, Blaire, and I."

"I'm going to have to talk to your mom about it," he said. I could tell he was still hesitant and not fully supportive yet.

"I've already taken the time off of work, I'll be there regardless. I really hope you guys can come, I've got to go," I said, realizing this conversation was going nowhere.

"Love you Miabear," he said, trying to use my childhood nickname in an attempt to soften the blow of his previous tone.

"Love you," I muttered and hung up the phone. I dropped the phone in my lap and tossed my head back, letting out a groan.

"Fuck," I cursed out loud, taking a deep breath.

"Mia!" my mom exclaimed as I answered the phone the next day.

"What's up?" I asked.

"We decided to go to Andy's show!"

"Cool," I said, hoping my dad wouldn't ruin it.

"I thought you would be excited?"

"I'm worried about dad making a scene."

"He'll be on his best behavior, I promise. This is about you."

"Okay," I said, knowing I would believe it when I saw it. "Trust me, I'm excited you are coming, I'm just still frustrated from my conversation with dad yesterday."

"Honey, he's been so sad since you left. He's truly sorry. I think you guys need to talk in person and get it sorted out. It's so hard to have a meaningful conversation when you can't see the other person's face."

"I'm flying out a day early, you guys should get there early too and then I'll have a sit-down with dad."

"Just fly to Memphis! We'll all drive together!"

"I'm not driving three hours with dad if this conversation doesn't go well. My flight is already booked to Nashville. I would love if you guys could come a day early, but if not, I'll see you on the 25th, bye, love you." I said and hung up. My mom was always the peacemaker and honestly, it was sometimes frustrating when you just wanted to be mad.

I took a deep breath before deciding to call Andy and let him know my family was planning on coming to the show.

"Hello?" Andy answered.

"Hey, my family agreed to come to Nashville."

"Awesome! Did you patch things up with your dad?"

"Not quite, I'm hoping to talk with him the day before the concert. I called him yesterday. He was apologetic but so stand offish. I spent the whole phone call trying to defend you but he's already made his mind up about you."

"Mia, you don't need to defend me. I'm used to dealing with people who don't like me, been managing it all my life. I'm going to be my true self. If he still doesn't like me, then all well. It's my kid too and no one is going to drive me out of my daughter's life."

"Please don't let him scare you off, I can't do this completely on my own," I said, my voice cracking as tears filled my eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise. I told you I was all in and I meant it."

"Thank you."
