Mia POV

"I don't believe you" His hand was still in a grip around my arm, so I moved my arm out of it.

"Where's your mum, she will explain everything" He sounded rather excited, but I was petrified. He couldn't be my dad, mum said he left when I was born wanted nothing to do with me.

"Mia how long does it take to get milk?" Jeff came round the corner, I immediately went towards him he noticed that I was extremely paranoid and scared. I picked up summer, holding her close.

"So you must be Kelly's new man then" The man saying he was my dad, went over to Jeff.

"What, who is Kelly?" Jeff exclaimed, while putting his arm around me.

"My mum" I said, making Jeff turn to me remembering Kelly was my mums name, but in fairness I didn't talk about her much. I stayed close to Jeff he was the only one I could trust in all of this.

"Mia you wouldn't believe how long I have been looking for you. Is she yours?" He pointed to summer, I nodded shyly.

"What is she called?"

"Summer" my voice shaky, waiting for Jeff to help me out.

"Wait hang on who are you?" Jeff asked, becoming rather protective of me, which I was glad he was.

"I was with Kelly, but when she got pregnant" That's when he stopped, looking to me.

"Are you saying you're her dad?" Thank god Jeff was doing all the talking.

"Yeah, I am" He replied, but I didn't believe him neither did Jeff.

"Is this some sort of sick Joke?" Jeff kept his arm around me.

"No, look where is Kelly she will explain everything" He tried to get closer, but as he did Jeff's grip tightened. This was making me angry, him still thinking mum was alive I let all my anger out in two words.

"MUMS DEAD" I shouted, making everyone in the centre turn to us,

"What well who are you? If you are not with Kelly?" He said to Jeff, who wasn't too happy about how this man was making me feel.

"Never mind who I am, who the bloody hell are you?" Jeff spat back, we both wanted to know who this man was.

"Mike, Mike green" He held out his hand, but neither of us took it. Just looked at it as if it was a gun, that was armed and ready to shoot.

"Your real name?" Jeff questioned,

"I don't believe you one bit," He added

"Look I am her dad, trust me I am. My name is Mike"

"I don't trust you, and prove it" I waited for him to answer Jeff, wondering if he could prove it.

"I can do a paternity test," His eyes met mine, with an emotion of hope in them.

"Mia would you be ok with that?" Jeff asked, I gave my head a weak nod. Then continued to cradle Summer, who was sucking her thumb unaware of all the drama breaking out in the middle of Sainsbury's.

"If this is going to happen it is going to be done properly" Jeff said sternly.

"Yeah of course, we can go to Holby get a test done" This was all going so fast, one moment I was getting milk the next I bumped into who somebody who knew everything about me.

"Right, if you are who you say you are, meet us outside holby in an hour. If not you better start running" This man could be anyone, trying to get at me and if he was Jeff wouldn't be too nice to him.

"Met you in an hour,"

The next hour went quickly, I didn't put down Summer or go further than 3 paces away from Jeff. He noticed, but just smiled knowing I felt safe around him. The car journey to the hospital felt like hours.

"Jeff what if he is?" I asked, he did look a little like me.

"Well I don't know…" he admitted not taking his eyes of the road.

That was the end of the conversation I tried wiping my tears away, but it was no good they just kept falling. I tried to play with Summer in her car seat to cheer me up, I smiled as her hand grasped my finger pulling it from side to side looking at it strangely.

Sure enough this man kept his word; he was outside the E.D leaning against the wall. I took summer out of her car seat, holding her close again.

"You came then?" Jeff continued to cross examine him.

"Of course, she is my daughter"

"I will believe it when I see it" Jeff said rather sarcastically.

We both had to have a blood test, while having mine Jeff held Summer and my hand at the same time. Not because it hurt, but because we both knew the results would change my life either way.

"All done, I will send them to the lab you should have the results tomorrow" Tess smiled, opening back up the cubical curtain.

"Thanks Tess" Me and Jeff spoke in unison then laughed.

"Mia you won't regret this." The man came round the cubical, but as he did Jeff stepped closer to me.

"I think It would be best if you kept your distance, until we find out the results" Jeff said, which was exactly what I was thinking the man nodded and then left.

"Mia what are you doing here, I thought we talked about this, not getting yourself hurt to have to come to hospital." A strong northern accent filling the cubical as Dixie sat next to me, her eyes scanning over me noticing there was nothing wrong with me.

"There is a man saying he is my dad" I took a deep breathe, thinking about what would happen if he was.

"Wha, when was this?" She looked to Jeff, knowing I was unable to talk through shock. I completely blanked out while him and Dixie talked, thinking to myself. I heard the occasional line, but other than that nothing. When we went back the car journey was silent, everyone lost in their own thoughts. When we got home, I changed Summer than fed her. This passed time quickly, I was feeling tired I was lying on the sofa, with summer in-between me and the back of the sofa, so there was no way she could fall off she would just snuggle into the side of the sofa. Jeff and Dixie were in the kitchen talking I could hear their voices but not what they were saying, I wasn't sure I wanted to know. I just lay rubbing Summers tummy, and playing with her hand.

"Sweetheart, go and get some sleep it has been a long day" I didn't notice Dixie coming in, until she spoke.

"It's fine, I'm staying up with Summer" I replied feeling more tired by the second.

"I'll take her; you go and get some rest"

"Dixie you shouldn't have too…"

"But I want to, you need sleep to Mia"

"I'll be fine"

"Mia you are still recovering from hypothermia, and have just been told…" Her voice trailed off we both knew what she was about to say.

"Anyway, go and get some sleep" I was about to speak but she didn't leave me any gaps.

"Sleep now, go on," She encouraged as I reluctantly handed her to Summer, it wasn't that I didn't trust Dixie with Summer it was just I didn't feel like it was her place to look after her, then something popped into my mind.

"Dixie?" I called from the middle of the stairs.

"Yeah sweetheart"

"If anything happens to me, would you look after Summer. I don't think Aaron could cope on his own, he would need help" I was immediately worried for Summers future.

"Nothing is going to happen to you"

"But would you?" I repeated

"Of course Mia, I promise if anything ever happens me and Jeff will look after Summer" I smiled knowing if something happened to me, Summer would be ok with Dix and Jeff.

"Thank you"

"Now go and get some rest" I obeyed her, going to my room which was full of baby things. Summers baby grows in a folded pile on the floor, by the draws and her blanket hung over the side of the cot. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep.

When I woke up, I had the duvet over me and some water on the side which I drank feeling a dryness in my throat. It was still daylight, so I couldn't have been asleep for long. Going down the stairs I could see Dixie feeding summer,

"Look who's up Summer?" Dixie exclaimed, I noticed she was wearing different clothes than she did earlier.

"I haven't been asleep that long"

"Princess you have been asleep since five yesterday" Jeff came out of the kitchen, also wearing different clothes,

"Yesterday?" I asked, did I really sleep that long?

"Yes, the time is now ten"

"Oh god I am so sorry" I rushed down the stairs, feeling bad I had left them to look after Summer for that long.

"Don't panic sweetheart, you needed it" Dixie handed me Summer who instantly recognised me, by waving her arms in the air excitedly.

"She knows who her mummy is doesn't she" Dixie tickled Summers feet making her squirm, I had almost forgotten why I needed all that sleep until the door knocked, Jeff opened it to reveal the man holding an envelope.

"Believe me now?" The man said, While Jeff snatched it from him.

"Jeffrey" Dixie called across the room, warning him as he was starting to get rude. I watched Jeff open it.

Jeff POV

I couldn't believe this was happening, this was such a major twist on all of our life's. I personally didn't believe what was happening one bit, I was worried about the results of this. If he was who he said he was, I was worried of Mia leaving me and Dix forgetting about us I didn't want to lose her we had all been through so much, well Mia was the one going through it but I think I had gone through enough too by the amount of worry I had for her on every hospitalisation of her. I was scared of her leaving us for him, just because of his genes. I opened it up reading it, letting a tear fall from my eye, everything was going to change now. Everything…
