Opposites Attract

Chapter 8

The next day

Mia's POV

"Ugh.." After I got to the hospital yesterday the doctors got my burns under control and they decided to keep me for observation. Surprisingly the burns weren't as bad as they looked. The doctor cleaned them then put burn cream on them then he wanted to monitor the babies. Today when I woke up it was to the nurse knocking on the door, she cleaned the burns then left. Now I'm just sitting here bored as ever. I was just about to go to sleep when there was a knock on my door then two cops came in. "Hello, ms Harris?" "Sure." "We have a few questions." "Ok?" "Can you tell us what happened yesterday." "Christopher's girlfriend decided she wanted to throw coffee on me." "Why?" "You'll have to ask her that." "Was there an argument?" "No." "So why did she decide to throw coffee on you?" "You're gonna have to ask her that." "So out of the blue she just threw coffee on you?" "I don't know why she decided to throw coffee on me, I do know that I'm pressing charges on her though." "You said you were talking to her boyfriend?" "No, I was talking to the father of my children." "And she is his girlfriend, yes?" The guy snapped and I looked at him. "Are you upset?" "A person doesn't just throw coffee on another person without a reason." He snapped again. "So let me get this straight.." "Ms Harris we're just trying to get to the bottom of what happened." The other cop cut in. "So let me get this straight, a crazy bitch throws her hot coffee on me, a defenseless six month pregnant woman, and you stand there and blame the pregnant woman?" "Was there something you said?" I was over these two. "Starbucks has cameras, go look at them and see what happened. I'm done." "Ms Harris.." "Get out." I pressed the button for the nurse.

Chris's POV

Today I planned on going to the hospital to see Mia but it didn't happen. When I finished up at the studio I went home to change, I was just about finished when I heard the door close. I went to see who it was, it was Liz. "Why did you step in front of the coffee?" "Are you serious?!" "I wasn't trying to throw it on you, I was throwing it at her." "You threw coffee on a pregnant woman, how are you standing there asking me why I tried to stop you?!" "Whatever! Why didn't you come and pick me up?" "Why would I come pick you up?" I was shocked that she was standing there acting like she did nothing wrong and everything was alright. "I spent the night in jail why wouldn't you come and get me?" "Because you deserved to be there Liz!!" "It was just coffee, I hardly see how that deserves a night in jail." "HOT COFFEE!" "Why do you even care?" I was so done with this. "Because she's the mother of my children." "How do you even know that.." "I did the DNA test Liz, they are mine and I am going to be there." "Chris we talked.." "It's over." "What?" "My first concern is the safety of my children and their mother, obviously it's not safe for her to be around you so I cannot have you around. You can get your stuff while I'm gone." "Chris!!" I left and went to the hospital.

When I got to the hospital I told the lady at the front desk Amia's name but she said Mia had been discharged, so I left. When I got to my car I texted Todd for Mia's address, he sent it so that's where I'm headed now. When I got to Mia's house her truck was there. I parked and went and knocked on the door. "There's a doorbell... I should've rang it." A few seconds later a girl answered the door and looked up at me. "Um hi?" "Hi, is Mia home?" "Yes who are you?" "Chris." "He's fine." Mia said and the girl let me in. "Sorry, that's my niece." The girl was white so I was trying to figure that out. "Oh ok." "Well come on." She took me to the living room and we sat down. "I'm so sorry about Liz." "I should probably tell you that I'm pressing charges on her." "You should, I'd be disappointed if you didn't." "Really?" "Yes." "Aunt Mia?" The girl came into the living room. "Yes?" "Do you have crackers?" "What kind?" "Gram crackers." "Yes look in the kitchen on the counter." "Thanks!" She went and got the crackers then went back to where she was. "Sorry about that." "It's alright. So what did your doctor say?" "Just to keep the burns clean and be careful." "I'm so sorry about her." "We can't control other people's actions Christopher." I was surprised that she didn't seen to pissed off. "You're not angry?" "Not really.. I mean I was but I have other things to worry about.. Like staying pregnant until my due date." "Right." "Being pissed and upset will only put stress on these little ones and they do not need that so I let it go. The only thing I can do is let my lawyer deal with this." "That's true. How are your burns?" "Annoying, they don't hurt they are just there at this point." "Oh." "Did you get burned?" "Yes." "Is it bothering you?" "Not really but it does hurt." "Oh, did you talk to Liz?" "Yeah." "Oh, Did she say sorry?" "No, people told me she was crazy and I decided not to believe them." "Oh.. Most guys don't listen." She kinda laughed. "Right." I kinda laughed and agreed. "I did tell her it was over though." "Was she angry?" "I don't know, I told her to get her stuff out of my house then I left." "Well... I'll help you clean up." She laughed. "You think she wrecked my place?" "Maybe." She smiled and it caught me off guard. "Um.. Are you alright?" "Yeah sorry." "What happened?" "Nothing, I'm just weird." "Oh.. So did you ever sit down with your family?" "No, I actually told them that we had to talk." "Are they concerned?" "Yeah.. Well my mom is. She wanted to know right then and there but I told her this was something that needed to be disgusted in person." "Are you going to tell them everything?" "I don't know.." "Oh." "What did you tell your parents?" "Well I told my mom the truth, she was slightly disappointed but she said stuff happens and she's ready for her grands." "Oh." "Yeah." "What did your father say? " "Nothing.” "Why?" "I didn't tell him." “You're not going to tell him?” “Probably not.” “You're parents aren't together?” “No, not anymore.” “Oh sorry.” “Don't be, it's alright.” She stood up. “So when are you thinking about sitting down with your family?” “I'm not sure probably when I leave here.” “Oh.. That's exciting.” “Is it?” I looked at the floor. “Not really, but I guess it has to be done.” “Yeah.” I kinda laughed. “Are you ok?” I asked because she was just standing around and leaning against the wall. “Yeah, if I sit down to long my back hurts.” “Oh.” “Does it happen often?” “Yes everyday..” My phone started ringing. “Sorry.” “It's alright.” I answered and it was my manager telling me I needed to get to the label. I told Mia that I had to go and left.
