Opposites Attract

Chapter 3

Mia's POV

Today I woke up with a bad headache. "Ugh." I went and took a shower then got ready for work. On the drive to work I felt so depressed. I can't understand how I got myself pregnant by a guy I don't even know. I've gotten drunk plenty of times, I've been in bars, and I've been around guys. I've never gone that far or even wanted too so why I did that night puzzled me. "Everything is going so wrong." When I got into the buildings parking lot I parked and just sat there. "I can't believe I am going to be the parent of two children." I shook my head and looked out of the window. I never wanted to be a single parent, that's why I was saving myself for marriage. Now I am exactly what I did not want to be and I am so disappointed in myself. For a bunch of reasons, for having sex, for getting pregnant, and for running to an abortion clinic. I know I could never have an abortion, it goes against everything I believe in. I shook my head. I made the decision to lay down with that guy I should've been stronger than I was yesterday. "From now on that'll be the last mistake I make." I looked down at my stomach. "I guess its just the two of you and me... I'm sorry for running to that clinic.. I was never going to hurt you, I'm sorry for making it seem like I would. And I'm sorry in advance for whatever mistakes I make as your mom." I exhaled and decided to get out of the car and go to work.

After work I went home and texted Amanda and told her to come over. She said ok so I waited for her. When she finally got here I made us both something to eat then we sat at the dining room table. "So.." "What's wrong?" "A lot." "Like what?" "Well I had that wellness check up yesterday." "Oh my god are you ok?!" "Well I don't have Ebola or west Nile virus.." "What is it?" I put my fork down and looked away. "I am 8 weeks pregnant." "WHAT?!" It looked like she was about to pass out. "Yeah.. That's what I said." "By Chris Young? .. That was a stupid question, of course by him, he's the only man you've been with.. Oh my gosh Mia.." "That's not it." "What?" "Twins." "Are you serious?!!" "Yup.." I put my head down. "Oh my gosh.." "I went to an abortion clinic.." "What?! MIA?!" "I didn't do it.. I would never have one.. I don't even know why I went.." "Oh thank god!" She exhaled and I looked at her. "Yeah." "Are you going to tell him?" "I thought about it.." "What?" "I know he'll tell me that they aren't his.. Then he'll say have an abortion.. Its his right but I can't do that." "You think he'll be a jerk like that?" "He's a guy who hooked up with a girl in a bar.. He doesn't want anything to do with kids." "Right.. He hooks up with girls in bars.. So he can't be ready for a family." "Right." "Forget him.. You know I'm going to be right there with you." "Thanks Amanda." "You don't have to thank me!! These are our babies!" "Ohh.." I laughed. I was happy to know that I had my best friend by my side.

Chris's POV

Today I had to go to the label because I had a meeting. When I got there I noticed the girl from the bar was getting out of a truck. "What is she doing here?" I watched her until she went into the building. "Is she a singer?" I tried to figure it out but I didn't understand why she'd be there. I just let it go and went to my meeting. When the meeting was over I went back to the parking lot and seen that the girls truck was still there. I started thinking about why she'd be there again but I let it go once I got a text from Liz. She asked me to get some stuff from the store so I got in my truck and left. When I got home Liz was there waiting to cook. "Hey baby." I went and kissed her cheek. "I made your favorite." "What's the occasion?" I smirked. "Well.." She smiled. "What?" "I got a promotion at work!" "Baby that's great." I hugged her. "You've been working so hard." "It finally paid off." "We should do something to celebrate." "Like what?" "Whatever you want." "Ok I'll think of something." I figured I'd think something up for us to do.

Three months later.

Mia's POV

"Ugh.." Today I woke up even more pregnant than yesterday. Today I am 20 weeks or five months, whatever you want to call it, it all sucks. My body is getting more and more stretched out, it's getting harder to get dressed, and it seems like the only thing I can do is use the bathroom. Its annoying to say the least but this is my fault so I try not to complain. I got in the shower then got dressed and left for work. When I got to work I set everything up and prepared for my day. In the middle of that Mrs Murphy came over to me. "Hi!!" She smiled. "Hi ms Murphy." I looked up at her. "How are you feeling today?" Since I've been pregnant Mrs Murphy has been so nice. She'd bring me things for the babies and she lets me go use the bathroom without taking it out of my paycheck. "I feel pregnant." "That's because you are." She laughed. "Mrs Murphy do you have children?" "It has been a while since I've been pregnant sweetheart, but my daughter was recently. What do you need?" "When she was pregnant how did she get any sleep?" Since I've been pregnant I rarely get any sleep now. I don't know if its the bed or if its just my body. "Oh yeah, she complained a lot about sleep too.. In the beginning she propped herself up with pillows." "Does it help?" "To an extent but she ended up just getting a new mattress." "Ugh.. I knew that's what it was going to come to.. What kind did she get?" "Well she got a memory foam, and she said it worked wonders when she was pregnant but now that she isn't she hates it. If you do get a new bed try an orthopedic mattress, my sons wife says its magical and now that she isn't pregnant she still loves it." "Ooh yeah.. My mom sent me a link to those kinds of mattresses.. I'm gonna look into those when I get off.. Thanks Mrs Murphy!" "You're welcome sweetheart." She walked away and I looked around. "Ugh my neck hurts." The phones started so I got my day started.
