This is the sequel to "I hate Loving You", so i recommend reading that before you read this, but it's not that much of a problem.

Mia lay on her bed, slowly drifting off to sleep.

"POPPY!" A man shouts in her dreamworld.

She sits up in a freight. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screams.

"Mia! Hey! Wake up, you're alright." her boyfriend, Jake Prince, held her in his arms.

He believes (as he is a qualified Psychiatrist), that her night terrors are due to desisions in her life that she regrets.

He knows about giving her daughter up for adoption. It was 2 years ago, and her daughter, Terena Morrison, was never really hers.

She was conseived on a one night stand, with a man she can barely remember.

She was a kid herself. She was 21, but she knew nothing of the world.

Jake first met Mia when he was on a work experience week at the therapist she attended.

3 years ago

"Aah, Mia, you're late again." said Dr. Tress. Mia always woke up late. She could never sleep properly. She shrugged it off.

"Mia, this is Jacob Prince. He is on work expereince with me this week."

"Hi" she said, tiredly. She wasn't so tired that she didn't notice how exceptionally beautiful he was. His eyes were the most shockingly vivid blue.

"So then, Mia. Today I want to go into some deep relaxation. It may help you open your mind to the memories you're supressing."

"I don't think so" she said with her thick irish accent.

"Just try, please."

She lay back on the bed, closed her eyes. He took her through some deep meditation, until he asked her go from her earliest memories to the memories that stcik out most in her head.

As Mia lay there, 7 months pregnant, long red spiral curls, cascaded over the chase lounge. Jake couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. But she was pregnant, obviously she had a boyfriend or maybe even a husband.

"Now, Mia, tells us what memories stick out most in your mind"

"I'm about 4 years old. Running in the park. My dad is chasing me. I'm laughing. My hair keeps hitting me in my eyes, and it stings. But when I turn around, it's not my dad, it's an ugly man. He grabs me and I black out. The next thing I remember is waking up in the woods. And there is a big fire and screams. I feel older though, I know I'm not, but I just feel it. The next thing I know, a man in a leather jacket is carrying me out of the woods. He calls me Poppy, for some reason." She snaps her eyes open, "And that all I remember, sorry."

"There must be something else, Mia. What about the night you got pregnant?"

"Seriously? I don't think your little pupil can handle it." she laughed.

"Hey! I'm 24 and I'll be a qualified Psychiatrist in a few months" Jake said, sounding more like n elementary student rather than a university student.

"Sorry, mate, don't mean to offend ya!" Mia liked this boy. All brains and no braun. He was cute, and his geekiness only added to her attraction. But he wouldn't like her. A pregnant 21 year old Irish girl living in Wiscounsin. She was a tramp and he was a Prince.

"Tell us bout him, Mia" said Dr. Tress was begining to get annoyed with her, as per usual.

"I was drunk, it was a one night stand on a whim. Don't even remember his name, and it's just as well because the baby is being put up for adoption. Got the family ready and everything. The Morrisons. They're nice, if a bit dull. They have money, so the baby will have a comfortable life, and I can make something of mine. Simple."

...

Mia worked every wednesday in the local smoothie bar, "Smoothie Groove" (where they play Reggae day in day out, while they serve smoothies and muffins from 6am to 9pm). She also worked as a lawyers PA, but since become pregnant she could run around after him. At least at the smoothie bar, she just has to sit at the counter, empty the trash every now and again, and sometimes make the smoothies when the smoothie guys go on their breaks.

Smoothie Groove was Jake's favourite place to hang out after class. He'd go in by himself, with one of his favourite books (usually Sherlock Holmes, or a Charles Dickens novel), and listen to the relaxing music as he read, and drank his favourite banana, kiwi and mango smoothie.

He strolls up to the counter, book in hand, and orders his usually. "Hey, can I have a BKM please?" He looks up and notices the girl from the therapy session yesterday. "It's Mia, right?"

"It's the 'I'll be a qualified psychiatrist in a few months' guy" she said coolly.

"You're funny. It's pretty quiet. You want to join me? I'll buy you a smoothie."

"The smoothies here are terrible"

"No they're not, what are you talking about?"

"Ok then. I dont really want another therapy session this week."

"I just want to know more about you!" he laughed. "I'm not your therapist, and I won't be on work experience after friday. So maybe we could just hang out"

Jake went to the smoothie bar every wednesday for a month. Mia asked him if he wanted to be her birthing partner. She didn't have any other friends, he was the only one. He was there for her. He saw her daughter being taken to her new family. He saw Mr. and Mrs. Morrison name the daughter Terena. He thought that was such a pretty name. Terena didn't look like Mia, but she had the same wild red hair, even for a newborn.

Ever since that day, Mia and Jake were in love. They bonded as Mia wept for her daughter. She was there when he graduated.

They loved each other.

Ok so that's what Mia/Poppy has been up to the past 3 years. Next chapter will be what Dean's been up to!

Please review, because i love them! xoxo
