Opposites Attract

Chapter 5

Chris's POV

After Mia left I went and sat on the couch. I was feeling so awful and the more I thought about what I did the worst I felt. "Baby what do you want to eat?" Liz asked as she sat next to me. "I'm not hungry." I scratched the back of my head and looked at the floor. "What's wrong?" I exhaled. "I can't help feeling awful." "Why?" "I don't know." "Girls like that hook up with guys in bars all the time Chris. You shouldn't be beating yourself up because she doesn't know who she slept with." "She doesn't seem like that kind of person though." "Why else would she tell you that you don't have to be there!" "I don't know but.." "But what?" "What if they are my kids? They aren't going to know me.." "They are not yours Chris you're just in your head." "But she seemed so sure." "You have money of course she's going to seem sure." I just shook my head. "Baby get out of your head." She kissed me and I exhaled. Talking to Liz didn't help at all. I still felt like I was abandoning my responsibilities just by not taking the DNA test. I don't know what I am going to do but I know I can't go on feeling like this. "What do you want to eat?" "Whatever you make I'm good with." "I was going to get Chinese." "Oh.. That's fine." "Stay out of your head, you're not doing anything wrong." She kissed me and left.

While I was waiting for Liz to get back I fell inside of my head again. "What if she is having my kids.." Someone was at the door so I got up and answered. It was Tony so I let him in. "You look like hell, what's wrong?" "Dude.. Mia was here." "And?" "And I told her that I couldn't be there." "What did she say?" "Nothing.. She just left." "Dude you dodged a bullet." "How?" "You're only 29, you don't need kids." "What would you have done?" "The same thing, I am not ready to be anyone's father." "Even if they were yours?" "I don't know dude.. I doubt they are yours." "Because we met in a bar and hooked up?" I got up and looked out of the window. "That doesn't mean she can't tell the truth." "It doesn't mean she can't lie either. You said yourself that you aren't ready to be a father so just forget it." I shook my head and sat back on the couch. "Dude stop feeling bad for making the best decision for your life." "I know.. You're right." I made a decision so I know I have to live with the outcome. I turned my thoughts off and turned the TV on.

Mia's POV

When I got home from Christopher's house I took a shower and watched TV for a while. I honestly don't know how I felt about what happened. I guess I knew he was going to decide not to be there and I'm ok with that, it doesn't bother me. But part of me actually thought he was considering it. I guess it was my own dumb fault. I exhaled. "I'm just going to go forward with what I already have planned and not worry about that crap.. I'm not putting anymore thought into a man who only thinks about himself. My children doesn't need him, they have me." I turned the TV off and went and got in the bed.

Two Weeks Later.

Still Mia's POV

Welp today I am officially six months pregnant. "Yay me.." I exhaled and slid to the edge of the bed. I am exhausted and at this point my hormones are getting the best of me. I think I cry at the drop of a pen and these cravings are driving me crazy. I wake up late at night wanting buffalo wings and grilled cheese sandwiches. Then there's the bathroom, it never ends. I got up and took a shower then got dressed and left for work. When I got to work I set up and got my day started. In the middle of the day my phone beeped so I looked at it, it was a text from Christopher. "Can we talk soon please?" I closed the message and put the phone down. "Oh my god leave me alone." The day after he and Liz told me they wanted nothing to do with the babies Christopher has been texting and calling me non stop. Two days after we had that talk he called and asked to meet. I met with him and all he did was sit there and look at the floor or ask me the same stuff we talked about weeks ago. It pissed me off and I told him that I wasn't going to meet with him again. He texted me that night and said he was sorry and asked if we could talk on the phone. I gave him that and he pulled the same crap so I hung up and made a promise to never speak to him again. Now he won't leave me alone and he's getting on my nerves.
