CHAPTER 3
"You want to kill ya kid?" he asked angrily
"No! I lived out on the streets for a month! Before you came and snatched me from the dirty life I was in! I haven't killed my kid yet and I don't plan to!" Andrea glared
"You will kill it if ya continue on the way you are, now I don't like havin you round but I ain't one to let some one kill an innocent child, you're stayin here with me. I have a friend who'll help ya out for the start. Now get your stubborn ass into bed and sleep." Mark stated defiantly leaving the room.
Andrea glared at him but scooted into the bed craving sleep, the door shut and she sighed.
-------
Andrea woke and rubbed her belly, she had yet to see a doctor about her pregnancy, she needed to get checked out and know once and for all that so far she hadn't hurt her unborn child. Climbing out of bed and slipping on her shoes, she quietly crept down the stairs, sneaking out the front door she set out on a fair walk to the doctors. She didn't want to ask Mark for any more help it was clear from his words last night that he didn't want her around; she figured if she got a check up and then went on her way she'd be fine and he could get back to his own life.
The length of the walk was longer than she had anticipated and she was exhausted when she reached the medical centre, walking in she reveled in the feel of the air conditioning and walked to the nurses office.
"Hi, are there any available appointments?" Andrea asked the nurse quietly
"We have one cancelation, it's in half an hour is that ok?" the nurse replied
"Yeah, thanks" Andrea sat down and waited the half an hour, time passed slowly and she found herself eager to get her appointment over with.
"Andrea Cole" a nurse called, Andrea stood and followed the nurse to a room and thanked her.
-------
Mark walked to his guest room and noticed the empty bed; he furrowed his brow and walked down the stairs hoping she was in the kitchen…nothing. Cursing her existence he grabbed his keys and set out on the drive to town. He called Katrina, a nurse he knew and a close friend of his mate Glenn.
"Trina, you got a patient in there, female pregnant, made an appointment this morning?" he asked, he didn't like the woman but he had told her he would help her and of she goes and runs away.
"Mark, you know this is a medical facility, I can't give you that info" she answered
"Trina forget that shit, she's been on the street and I offered her help. When I find her I'm gonna bust her ass" Mark said steaming
"Mark Callaway don't you dare bust a pregnant woman's ass!" Trina scolded
"I'll see you in a sec" Mark hung up and pulled into the parking lot; if she wasn't here he was going to make sure they kept an eye out for her.
Walking into the medical centre he moved up to the nurse's desk and face top face with Trina, she led him to a room and knocked on the door. He glared at Andrea as soon as he saw her and the doctor began to object.
"Sir you can't be in here!" he objected
"Like hell I can't!" Mark snapped "You young lady are in shit, when this is over you and I are gonna have a long talk" he continued
"Sir if you are not a relative or husband you must leave" the doctor stated firmly, Andrea smirked and Mark glared at the doctor before leaving unwillingly
Mark paced in the waiting room, she was taking her time with the appointment and god knows what she was telling him, he had a feeling he wasn't gonna be happy when he saw her, he didn't even know why he was bothering, the woman had back chatted and insulted him from day dot and he still couldn't find it in himself top throw her out or to leave her in the medical centre.
Lord knows he wanted to get back to his life and not have a disturbance such as her running round and definitely not a little tacker running round in the months to come. Yet he wanted to know what was going to happen, where this path would take him, weather she was more of a spitfire or weather she was like his ex wife, dull and boring.
"Finally" Mark snapped as the object of his thoughts walked into the waiting room
"Thanks doc" she smiled at the doctor and walked past Mark and out the doors into the sun.
"Oi! Lady get back here now" Mark ordered following her out the door
"What?" Andrea asked
"Where the hell you think your going?" Mark asked snippily
"To find a job, sop I can get some money and possibly a place to live, oh and clothes" she replied as she continued to walk. Mark followed closely and grabbed her arm
"You ain't got nothing lady, a pay check ain't gonna buy you a house or clothes, where you gonna live?" Mark asked knowingly
"I don't know, a bus stop…Your cranky as don't want me there I know that much and I ain't gonna ask you to take me in" She retorted, Mark pulled her to the truck and picked her up and dumped her on the seat lightly.
"Sit your ass there and don't move" he snapped, she was definitely turning out to be a spitfire
-------
Andrea scowled as he dropped her on the couch; he was a stubborn man, good looking but stubborn. He had never once used her name and she found it odd, perhaps using her name would mean he would have to acknowledge her as a human and not as a problem he couldn't get out of.
