Opposites Attract

Chapter 7

Two weeks later

Mia's POV

Today after the clinic I was so bored. I called Christopher to talk but I guess he was on a plane because he didn't answer. I decided just to walk around downtown until I got tired. The last two weeks has been crazy in a good way. Since Christopher got the DNA test results he has been calling and asking to come by my house non stop. It was weird at first but I'm getting use to it. He also invited himself to my clinic appointment today but he missed it. A few hours into me walking around I looked at my phone and seen I missed two calls from Christopher. "When did he call?" I looked through the call log. "I'll just call him back when I get home." I was just about to walk pass Starbucks but I decided to go in. It was kinda cold out so I figured I'd get a small hot chocolate then go home. I went in and got a white hot chocolate then stood there and looked around. "Do I want to get something else?" I frowned. "Naw I'll just get me something from Popeye's." I shrugged. "Mia?" I turned to see Christopher. "Hey." "I called you." "I know I missed your call, sorry. I was going to call you when I got home." "Oh." "What are you doing?" "I was walking around and got cold so I decided to get some hot chocolate." "Oh ok." He looked at my stomach. "You missed our appointment." "I know I was trying to get here but my flight was delayed, I'm sorry." "It's alright.. Wanna know what we are having?" "You know?" His eyes got huge. "May I?" "Sure." He put his hand on my belly. "What are they?!" He whispered. "I'm kidding I don't know." "Miaaaa." He exhaled and I started laughing. "Don't do that." "I do have the sonograms though." I unzipped my jacket and Christopher put his hand on my belly. "You really don't.." "Chris?!" Liz borderline yelled and pushed his arm off of me. "Liz what is wrong with you?" Christopher started. "I go out of town for a little while and you're doing this?!" "What are you talking about?" "I think my hot chocolate is ready." I whispered and tried to walk away but she grabbed my arm. "Liz stop it!" He whispered and took her hand off of me. "Chris!!" "Can I talk to her for a minute Liz?" "Screw you." She walked away and he looked at me. "I'm so sorry about her." "It's ok." "Can I see the sonograms?" "Are you sure she seems really upset?" "Yeah I'm sure." He stepped to the side of me. "Ok." I gave him the bag I had and went back into my jacket. "I had them right here.." I felt in my jacket then realized I put them in the other pocket. "Oh yeah, I put them over here." I opened my jacket and went into the pocket. "Ugh.." "What's wrong?" "I'm fat and my arms are short." He started laughing and I took off my jacket. I went into the pocket and took out the sonograms. "Finally." Christopher joked. "Hey that was hard work." I frowned and he started laughing again. "It wouldn't be funny if I got you pregnant." He stopped laughing and looked at me. "Yeah." I laughed and he looked at the sonograms. "This is baby A." I said. "Look at his little nose.." "Liz stop!" Before I knew it my face, my arm, and my stomach was burning. I think I was screaming but I'm not sure.

Christopher's POV

"Liz stop it!" I yelled but she threw her coffee anyway. I tried to block it from hitting Mia but I only caught a little of it. Mia was screaming and almost fell but I grabbed her. "Oh my god call the police!" I heard some lady yelled and came over to Mia. "Oh my god sweetheart sit down." She helped her to a chair. "Liz what the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled. "There's nothing wrong with me! You did this!" I went over to Mia, she wasn't screaming anymore but she was crying. Three ladies and a guy had started putting ice and cold water on Mia's arm and stomach. "Sweetheart just breathe." A lady said. A few minutes later the EMTs and the police came into the Starbucks. The EMTs took Mia right out and told me that I'd have to meet them there. I was on the way to my car when an officer stopped me. "I have to get to the hospital." I said. "I understand that but I need to ask you a few questions. "Can't this wait?" "No sir." "Are you kidding?!" "The.." "What do you want?!" "Explain what happened." "She threw hot coffee on the pregnant women, that was it." "Why?" "I don't know ask her!" I yelled and got into my car. I pulled off and went to catch up with the EMTs.

When I got to the hospital they took Mia to the back and told me to go to the waiting room. When I got to the waiting room I paced back and forth then I told myself to calm down. I took a few deep breaths and sat down. Once I was calm I started feeling pain. I kept feeling this stinging pain in my side so I unzipped my hoodie and felt around. As soon as I put my hand under my arm on my ribcage it burned like hell. "Ouch.." I got up and went to the bathroom. I took my shirt off and looked in the mirror, there was a burn and it already started to blister. "Damn it." I mumbled and put my shirt back on. It started hurting worse so I went and got registered. It wasn't long before someone was calling me to the back. When I got to the room a lady came in. "Hi, what's wrong today?" "Someone threw hot coffee on me and its hurting." "Ok.. Did you come in with the pregnant woman.. Amia Harris?" "Yes, is she ok?" "Hold on." She left.

When the nurse came back she had the police with her. "Are you kidding?!" That pissed me off. "Sir calm down." "Get out of here! Where is the doctor?!" I was so pissed that I'm sure I was yelling. "We need to talk to you.." "I'm not talking to you! Where's the doctor?!" A guy came in and looked at me. "What's going on here?" He looked at the cops. "We need to talk to him, he was involved in an incident.." "Are you here to be seen?" The doctor asked. "Yes." "Ok, you're gonna have to leave until I know my patient is alright." "But.." "Please leave." They left and the doctor looked at the nurse. "Did you invite them in here?" "Yes they were asking about him." "Please leave." She walked out and the doctor looked at me. "I apologize for her actions." "It's alright, I just need to get this taken care of so I can check on the mother of my children." "You'll have to talk to the police after I'm finished." "That's fine." "Alright what's going on." "My ex threw hot coffee on me and it's burning." "Alright, let me take a look." I took my shirt off and showed him what was going on. "Oh it's already starting to blister... Ok." He started to clean the burn then he bust it. It all hurt like hell but I just wanted to check on Mia. When he finally finished he patched it up and gave me a prescription for painkillers and burn cream. I was about to leave when the two officers came into the room. "Ugh." I sat in the chair and looked at them. "I'm sure you know why we're here, we need to know what happened in Starbucks." One of the officers said. "Mia, the pregnant woman.." "Who is she to you?" "The mother of my unborn children." "Oh ok." "Mia and I were talking and she told me that she had the sonograms from her clinic appointment today. She was showing them to me when Liz.." "The other woman?" "Yes." "And do you know her?" "Yes." "Who is she?" "She was my girlfriend until that moment, so I guess she's my ex." "Ok, then what happened?" "Liz threw her coffee on Mia. I tried to step in front of it but I was to slow." "Ok, why did this happen?" "Because obviously Liz is fucking crazy." I said getting up. "Anything else?" "Yes." "Liz told us Mia started it with her, so is there anything else you can tell us?" That infuriated me. "She said what?!" I yelled. "Calm down." "Well obviously she's lying being as though Mia is the one in the hospital." "So there was no back and forth between the two women?" "No, there wasn't." "Are you sure?" "Starbucks has cameras." I exhaled then it dawned on me. "Mia even tried to leave, Liz grabbed her arm." "Why did Mia try to leave?" "Because Liz makes her uncomfortable." "Why?" "Because obviously Liz is a lunatic." "Alright that's it for now." "Whatever." I got my stuff and walked out.

When I got to the front desk a lady came over to me. "Can I help you sir?" "Yes I.." "Hold on sir." The lady walked away and I shook my head. She went over to another lady and started talking. After about five minutes of them talking and laughing I was completely over it. Before I said anything she came back over. "Can I.." "I need to know what room my girlfriend is in." I guess she was mad that I cut her off but at this point I didn't care. "What.." The lady she was just talking to came over and said something to her. "Excuse me sir." "No, y'all were just talking for ten minutes. Just tell me what room she's in then you can talk to her all you want." "Well I am on break." "Well maybe you can get someone over here who isn't on break?" "There's no need to be this rude sir." The other lady cut in. "And there's no need to be this unprofessional." "What's her name?" The other lady asked. "Amia Harris." She typed it in then looked up at me. "Room 7, it's right through those doors." She said. I walked away and went where she told me. When I got through the doors there were two cops there. "Ugh." I walked over to the room and one of the cops stopped me. "No visitors." "Why?" "I cannot tell you that sir you just have to leave." "I need to see her." "You'll have to wait." "Ok, until when?" "Tomorrow." "Are you kidding." "No sir, no visitors until the investigation is over." "Ugh.." I knew there would be no point in fighting with him. "Tomorrow morning?" "Probably in the afternoon." "Can you at least tell her that I was here?" "Who are you?" "Chris." "Sure." I left and went home. When I got home I exhaled and shook my head. "Ugh this is stupid."
