Milo's Best Friend Mia

Staying or Leaving??

Later that afternoon Milo decided to talk to his mom while Mia was sleeping. “Hey mom, Can we talk?” “Yeah, what’s up sweetie?” “I know I'm supposed to go back to New York at the end of this week, but with Mia and the baby, I’ve been thinking of getting transferred to UCLA. Then I’ll be here when my daughter is born. Then if Mia wants to go back to New York with me then I will. Otherwise I will stay here.” Milo said as he carefully watched his mother's expression. Camryn smiled as she looked at her son “Milo I am so proud of you. I’m proud of you for strapping up and taking responsibility for the situation. I will support you no matter what you choose to do. I love you sweetie. “Thanks mom. I love you to” Milo said as he went to check on Mia. When Milo got to his bedroom door he stopped when he heard Mia talking. “You know baby girl you're super lucky that you have such an amazing daddy. We haven’t even met you and he is already in love with you. Mommy already knows that when you get older your daddy is going to make sure that no boy hurts you.” Milo slowly opened the door and walked over to the bed. “Hey what are you doing?” “Just talking to our baby girl” “I heard you in the hallway. Can she hear you?” “Yeah! The more we talk to her now the more she will recognize our voices when she is born.” “WOW!” Milo said as he sat beside Mia. “C-Can I talk to her?” Milo asked a little hesitant” “Of course you can silly, you're her daddy. She needs to know your name too!” Mia said as she smiled up at Milo. Milo slowly placed his hand on Mia’s belly as he talked to his baby girl. “Hi baby girl, i’m your daddy.” Just as Milo said this he felt something push against his hand. “What the hell was that?” Milo asked as he jumped back. “That was the baby Milo” Mia said as she laughed at him. “She knows that you're her daddy by the sound of your voice. She just wanted to let you know that she heard you” “But I thought baby’s didn’t move until they were born?” Mia couldn’t help but bust out laughing at Milo. “No Milo. They very much start moving before they are born” Mia chuckled as she looked at Milo’s confused but cute expression. “Can you feel when she moves?” Milo asked, clearly still very clueless about what happens during pregnancy.  “WOW!” Milo said as he placed his hand back on her belly. Milo laid in bed the rest of the night with Mia, just rubbing her belly and talking to the baby. “Mia” “Yeah Mi?” “I need to talk to you” “What’s up?” “So I talked to my mom and “I know I'm supposed to go back to New York at the end of this week, but with you and the baby, I’ve been thinking of getting transferred to UCLA. Then I’ll be here when my daughter is born. Then if you want to go back to New York with me then I will. Otherwise I will stay here.” “Milo, I don’t expect you to leave New York for us.” “Mia, You and our little girl are my family and my life now. I want to be wherever you two are. Milo said as he looked down at Mia as she started crying. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing” “Then why are you crying?” “Because i’m happy. I was really afraid that when you found out, that you would leave me.” “Mia I would never leave either one of you. You two are my life, you're stuck with me. I love both of you.” Milo said as he leaned down and gave Mia a hard, but passionate kiss. It had been a month since Milo talked to Mia about him switching his classes to UCLA from NYU for the rest of the pregnancy and he couldn’t be happier. Milo was glad that after he explained the situation to the dean at NYU, that he had sent Milo’s records over that same day. He was glad that he was able to be there for Mia and continue going to school. When Milo wasn’t at school he spent his free time shopping for baby girl stuff, taking Mia to doctors appointments, helping his mom around the house, reading baby books, going to birthing classes with Mia, and just relaxing with his favorite girl. Milo was downstairs when he heard Mia walk down the stairs. “Morning babe” Milo said as Mia sat down beside him on the couch. “You ok babe?” Milo asked as he looked at the uncomfortable expression on Mia’s face. “Yeah, i’m just tired, my back and feet hurt, and i’m tired of being pregnant” Mia whined as she laid her head on Milo’s shoulder. “I’m sorry bae” “You better be you fucking did this to me you dick!” Mia said as she moved to the other end of the couch. In the last two months since Milo had learned about the pregnancy he had quickly become used to Mia’s mood swings. Milo moved over to Mia and started rubbing her shoulders. “Babe I really am sorry. I know you're tired and ready for baby girl to be here, but we don’t want her to come before it’s time” Milo said as he rubbed her belly. “I know. I’m so sorry i’ve been acting like a monster lately” Mia said as she curled into Milo’s side. “It’s ok babe, I still love you” Milo said as he pulled Mia closer to him. “You know we need to come up with a name for her before she's here. She can’t be called baby girl forever” Mia said. Milo immediately grabbed his phone and started looking at baby girl names. “Harper?” “No” “Marrisa?” “No” “Kayla?” “NO” Milo kept scrolling until a name caught Mia’s eye. “Stop, that one right there” she said as she pointed to his phone. Milo smiled down at Mia as he thought of his daughter having that name. “I love it,” Milo said as he wrote the name down in the notes on his phone. “Only 3 ½ more months and we can meet her” Milo said as he looked down at a sound asleep Mia in his arms.
