Chapter 4 : From small talk to a big talk

It had now been three years since they broke up. Milo was walking through the park with Lana. They were both on their lunch break so they had decided to take a walk. They sat down on a bench talking about nothing important. He was barely listening to their conversation while he was looking around at the fountain and the playground.

That was when he saw her standing just 20 feet away, next to the fountain. He was on the right side of he, she was looking at the kids on the playground.

'Milo?' Lana asked, trying to get Milo's attention. He looked at her surprised.
'What is it?' He asked.
'Are you okay?' She asked, wondering why he had been so quiet. Then she looked at what he had been staring at and her jaw dropped.

Andy saw in the corner of her eye somebody looking at her and turned her head to them. She was surprised when she saw Milo and Lana. They walked over to her.

'Andy,' Milo said quietly.
'Milo,' Andy didn't know what else to say back.
For a few seconds there was complete silence between the three of them, until the silence was broken by the last thing Milo had expected.

'Mommy?' A little boy was pulling at Andy's leg. He had a medium to dark skin tone and big dark curls on his head. His big hazel eyes were looking up at Andy. Andy looked down while she turned around and got to eye-level with the boy.
'Look,' the little boy held out a flower to her, 'I got you a flower.' Andy took it from him and gave him a kiss on his head. 'Thank you,' she said and smiled at him.

A blonde girl walked up to them and Milo immediately recognized that it was Lizzy. When Lizzy saw Milo she opened her mouth to say something . Then closed it again. She took the little boys hand and said: 'We're going to play on the playground some more,' to her mother.

Andy nodded and Lizzy walked of, then she turned back to Milo.
He raised his eyebrow in confusion. 'We should talk,' was all she said. When Milo nodded she let out a big sigh wondering how she was going to explain this.

Lana looked at her watch and realized she had to get back to work. 'I have to go,' she said to Andy and Milo and they looked at her.

Andy smiled at her, not knowing what to say.

'I'll talk to you later,' Milo said to Lana. Lana nodded at him and then looked at Andy. 'You should come by the clinic some time soon,' Lana said.
Andy nodded. 'I will,' she promised.

As Lana walked away Andy and Milo walked over to the bench where he had sat with Lana. Neither one of them really knew where to start. Milo looked at Lizzy and the little boy.

'So...' Andy started awkwardly.
Milo looked at her for a few seconds. 'What is his name?' He asked.
'The name you always wanted to name your son: Michael,' Andy said.
'I can't believe you remembered,' he stated softly. He looked back at the boy, Michael, his son. 'When did you find out you were pregnant?' Milo asked curious.
'A couple of days after we broke up. That was why I kept calling you, but you never picked up,' Andy said.
'I had every reason to not want to talk to you. You cheated on me,' Milo said.
Andy shook her head. 'I did not cheat on you, Milo.'

'He told me,' Milo said and finally looked back at Andy. 'What?' Andy asked, confused.
'Les told me.'
'And you believed him?' Andy asked surprised, raising her voice slightly.

'I didn't want to believe him but then you started to act strange. You never wanted to come near me, you didn't even want to be alone with me,' Milo said raising his voice too. Andy opened her mouth to say something but before she could, Milo already cut her of. 'At first I didn't believe him, then I didn't believe you. I didn't know who to believe,' Milo said as everything he had wanted to say to her for three years came out. He was raising his voice and some people turned around to look at hem, annoyed.

'I can't believe you wanted to be with him after what he did to you,' Milo was now looking the other way again. He was not talking as loud anymore but he sounded a lot angrier. Andy was now getting angry too and decided to tell him the truth: 'I didn't want to be with him,' Milo looked back at her. 'He wanted to. I said no but he didn't listen,' Andy said upset.

She walked away from him and picked up Michael. Then she went home with Michael and Lizzy.

Milo had been to surprised, because of the news, to go after her. The next couple of days they didn't talk. He didn't have her number so he couldn't contact her. She did have his number but she didn't want to talk to him.
