Cali's POV
Dealing with a pregnant woman is my personal hell. God, Esme is awful when she's pregnant.
"CALI!!!" She screamed in the cafeteria.
I sighed, "Esmeralda, I'm literally right next to you." She was son loud, I was starting to get embarrassed.
She groaned, "Don't use my middle name, bitch. " I rolled my eyes at her and she said, "Cali...I really want pickles."
I sighed again, "Girl I don't control your weirdo cravings, don't whine at me. If you want pickles, go suggest that the nurses get you some pickles or you'll go on a killing spree. That always works with me."
Esme frowned, "You're not gonna get me pickles???" She asked sadly.
"Nope." I answered, smiling at her. She groaned and walked up to a nurse. I looked at her stomach and noticed how big it was getting. I mean, there's two mini people in their, it's bound to be pretty big.
While I was off in my own little land, Esme was arguing with the nurse.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T HAVE ANY PICKLES???LADY, I'M STUCK IN THIS PLACE WHILE I HAVE TWO CHILDREN GROWING INSIDE OF ME. IF YOU CAN'T GET ME WHAT I NEED YOU WILL DEAL WITH A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF HELL. YOU THINK YOUR JOB IS HARD? JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET MY----" I ran over and covered Esme's big mouth. She bit my hand and I smacked her cheek.
I turned to the nurse, Nurse Charlotte, and apologized, "Sorry Charlotte. Esme is a little cranky. She woke up on the wrong side of the bed. And she's pregnant with twins. If you could just get her a few pickles, this whole room would praise you because she's being pretty fucking annoying."
Esme glared at me, and I gave her a look that said 'Keep your mouth shut if you want those goddamn pickles'. Nurse Charlotte nodded, "She is being pretty annoying. If she talks to me like that again, she'll be in very big trouble."
I nodded in return and turned to Esme, "Dude. Don't be such a bitch to Charlotte. She's one of the only tolerable nurses."
She stuck her tongue out at me, "Whatever."
Ughhh. I ditched her to go bug the receptionists. I tried my best to be pleasant. "Hey Mr. Luis. Hi Mrs. Marta." I said politely.
"Hello Mrs. Calliope." Marta answered. I silently growled at her. Don't call me Calliope, lady.
Luis looked up at me, then immediately looked down. He hated me. Luckily, my favorite nurse, Nurse Kathy came to my rescue. She hugged me, "Hey sweetie, how are you feeling today? Are those pills helping you at all?"
Ooh thank you Kathy! She didn't give me more pills, even though I need them, she's just trying to give me an opportunity to show the receptionists what a kind person I truly am.
"Yes, thank you very much Nurse Kathy. They're definitely working better, I'm feeling much more refreshed and nice." I answered, smiling at her.
Kathy smiled at the receptionists, "I wish all of the patients were like Cali here. She's so easy to take care of. Its a shame she doesn't get the same privileges that the rest of them do. Someday she'll change that, right Cali?"
I nodded, "Right. Someday I'll be able to have visitors!" I said, pretending to be enthusiastic. She patted my shoulder and walked away. "Bye Nurse Kathy! Oh, thank you for the coloring book!" I yelled to her. She smirked at me and I grinned. I was really getting into character for this. I owe Kathy one.
Marta smiled a little at me, "How can I help you today sweetie?" She asked. I smiled back at her.
"Well... I was wondering if I could talk to my little sister. It's her 14th birthday today, and I want her to know that I'm still there for her and I love her." I lied. My sister's birthday was August 4. But Mrs. Marta didn't know that.
She looked around the office, nervously, and nodded her head once at me and I followed her to the back room. I can't believe that was all it took! I was so astonished.
She led me to the phones and whispered, "Make it quick, I don't have the financial stability to lose this job. " I nodded and thanked her.
I dialed the number and waited for someone to pick up. She sounded like a grumpy, middle-aged woman. "Hello. How can I help you." She grumbled without any emotion at all.
"Um... Hi, my name's Cali Haile, I was calling to see if I could----" The lady interrupted me in the middle of my sentence. Rude.
"Full name." She commanded.
I groaned to myself. Bitch please. Don't command me to do anything. And why is everyone wanting to know my full name lately??? No thank you. I answered, "Calliope. Arianna. Haile. Calling. To. Speak. With. Sister. Addison. Skylar. Haile." I paused at every word.
She groaned, "Young lady, I'm not a fan of your attitude. Wait... You're Mrs. Haile's sister??" She asked, sounding timid.
She's 13, she's not a Mrs. "Yeah, that's me. Why?"
The woman was quiet for a moment, "It seems... um... well... It seems as though Mrs. Haile is momentarily unable to come to the phone."
I tilted my head, "And why is that?"
"....She was kidnapped a few days ago, her and her friend So----"
"WHAT????" I screamed into the phone. "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN???? WHY WASN'T I NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY? IS ANYONE INVESTIGATING IT???"
The lady answered, "I...um... Yes. Officer Collins. It says here he brought you to the Police station after the fight with your mother."
"Thanks." I growled and hung up the phone. Mrs. Marta turned to me and shushed me. I dialed the number Collins gave me before leaving with Addison.
"Officer Collins speaking." He answered.
"OFFICER COLLINS. CALI SPEAKING. WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT MY LITTLE SISTER WAS KIDNAPPED? I HAD TO FIND OUT FROM DOME GRUMPY RECEPTIONIST AT THE FOSTERCARE FACILITY."I yelled, angrily.
He sighed in exhaustion, "Hello Cali. I was wondering when you would call. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to react like this, and we have it under control."
"Oh, so she's safe and at the Police station?" I asked, sassily. I already knew the answer.
"Cali, I'm doing everything I can here." He mumbled.
"WELL DO MORE. SHE'S 13 YEARS OLD." I yelled.
He sighed, "I'm gonna come and get you, we need to... interrogate you."
"Um, excuse me???" I asked. Why would they need to interrogate me??
"I'll be there soon." And with that, he hung up.
I sighed and tried to calm myself down. Marta gave me a weird look, but i walked away and waited for Officer Collins to get there. When he did, I said nothing to him, I just walked into the car.
When we got to the station, I asked, "So am i gonna need a lawyer?"
He sighed and looked down, "One is already provided to you."
"I didn't do anything wrong."
The commanding officer walked by me and said, "We'll see about that, Mrs. Calliope."
Not a good start, Mr. Commanding Officer. "Its Cali. Just Cali. And I'm innocent until proven guilty, so i say as politely as humanly possible. Fuck off, Sir."
And i walked into the interrogation room, leaving him there to ponder what he was gonna say next. Was it stupid? Yep. Will i regret it? Probably. Do I give a shit? Nope.
