Opposites Attract

Chapter 4

Mia's POV

After Liz walked out I looked at Christopher. "I really hate to ask you this stuff but I have to." I guess that meant he wanted to know if they are his. "Alright." I looked at him and he exhaled again. "Well.. Is this baby mine? I know what you just told her but for myself I need to hear it again.." "Ok." I am over answering the same questions. "Is there a chance that it could be someone else's?" I looked at him for a few seconds. "She just asked me the same thing." "I know.. I'm sorry.." He looked at the floor. "Look Christopher, I get that you feel like you cannot have a child in the world and not be in its life. I also know that this is a whole lot to take in.. Nobody will fault you for deciding not to be there." "I.." "And there's a lot more that you don't know. So I'll understand if you decided that this is to much to deal with and walk away. I am not going to be upset, I'm not going to go after you, I'm not going to make your life a living nightmare. I'd never do any of that if that's what's worrying you." He just looked at me. "Just take some time to think about if this is what you want, then you let me know. Alright?" I could tell he was confused. "Well it's getting late so I'm going to go alright?" "What don't I know?" He looked up at me. "What?" "You said there's a lot that I still don't know. What don't I know?" I exhaled and looked at him. "Well.. Do you see my stomach?" "Yeah, is there something wrong with you? Is it the baby?" "Well there's nothing wrong with me.. I'm just.." "What?" "There's just uh.. Well there's two babies in there. Because I am having twins." "Oh.. Wow.. There's a lot of twins in your family?" "No." "They don't run in mine either." "That's what's going on in there." I looked at my stomach and poked it. "Wow." "Yeah.." He looked at my stomach.

A few minutes later Liz came back into the dining room. "Sorry about that." She sat in the chair and looked at me. "So do you know what you're having?" "Twins." Christopher said looking at her. "Twins?" She frowned. "Yes." "Twins run in your family?" "No." She looked at me. "In yours?" "No." "So how are you having twins if they don't run in either of your families?" "My doctor said it was common." I started to get up. "Well these little ones and I have to get up early in the morning  for work.. So I should go." "Um hold on.." Liz started so I stopped trying to get up. "Yes?" "You're sure that Christopher is the father of these babies." "Yes." "See.. I just don't believe you." "Oohh.. I didn't get that vibe at all." I looked at her with a blank look and Christopher kinda laughed. She looked at him so he stopped. "See I think you hook up with men at bars.." "Liz!" "Ooh ok." "She didn't mean that.." "I did mean it, its the truth." She looked at him. "I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say she's upset.. So I'm gonna go. You guys talk this out." I got up and started to leave. "If they are his kids take a DNA test!" "Liz!!" I turned around and looked at her. "You set it up and I'll show up." I walked out and went home.

Chris's POV

After Mia left I looked at Liz. "What was that?!" "I don't like her!" "Why?" "I just don't." "Ok??" "You didn't tell me she was black." "Does it matter?" "No but you should've told me." "Why is that even a thing?" "Its not Chris, I'm just saying. I just didn't know you were attracted to black women." "Oh." This conversation was getting pointless so I told her I was going to go for a drive. I left and went over to Tony's house. When he opened the door I walked in. "Dude." "What's wrong?" "I am about to be a father." "WHAT?! YOU GOT LIZ PREGNANT?" I shook my head. "Bro you know you can't trust Liz." "Not her." I sat on his couch. "You've been getting your freak on and not telling me?!" "No.." I shook my head. "What?" He sat on the other couch. "The girl from the bar, Mia." "What?!" "I seen her in the market and she has a huge belly." "Whaat?" He was just looking at me. "I had her come over the house and we talked." "And?" "Dude.. She's like... 'I know this is a lot to take in but I'm not expecting you to want to be there.' At first I was like maybe she's just saying that cause it isn't my baby. But the longer I talked to her I can't help but think its mine." I put my head down. "Oh!" I looked at him. "What?!" "She's having twins." "WHAT?!" His eyes got huge. "Yeah.." "But she hooked up with you at the bar.." "I don't even think that matters at this point." "Why?" "I can tell she's not the party type, and Liz said if they are my kids take a DNA test. She said set it up and she'd be there." "Oh my god.. What do you think she wants?" "Me to leave her alone."
