Mia POV
Positive. I was staring at the pink plus sign. I don't know how I got here. I was going to be a young single mother. Neal wasn't here with me. Is there something I could have done? What if Neal had told me what he was planning? Could I have stopped him?
Would I have gone with him? Would we be raising this baby together? I'm crying and I'm not sure why or how I'm feeling.
I decide to go see a doctor to confirm. I listened to the voicemail Neal left again. I just needed to hear his voice. What if I had answered the phone when he called? Could I have gotten to him? I could have at least gotten him help sooner. If I had answered the stupid phone it might have saved his life.
"Mia Burke," a nurse says.
I stand up and follow her. The doctor comes in and takes some blood. I feel so alone and scared I always waited to be a mother but now. I'm single and just lost the man I loved.
The doctor came back and confirmed. I was still shocked the doctor started talking about vitamins I should be take and gave me a list of things I should or should not eat. Then I went out and schedule the next appointment.
I went to work. It was a fairly good day. I got to reunited a child with its mother. Being a social worker it doesn't usually end this good. I smile to my self day was a good day. I'm still a little scared of being a mom but I knew it would work out. I know I really shouldn't be worried about telling El and Petter but I am.
I go to my apartment. Set my keys on the counter and start dinner for myself. I put dinner in the oven. I sit on the couch and turn on the tav. It was going to be a relaxing night.
I take out dinner and eat it. Some times I feel like my life was boring when I wasn't with El and Peter or Neal i was bored. I sometimes regret not making many friends. i need a distraction or maybe just something to do. Maybe I would join a singles mothers group. That wasn't really me though.
I end up going to bed early. When I wake up in the morning I run to the bathroom. I felt awful. My phone rings its El. I ignore and continue to empty the contains of my stomach into the toilet. The phone rings again I have no energy to reach for the phone. i just lay there on the bathroom for a while with no energy to get up. i heard the door from the distance unlock.
"Mia," It was El.
"In here," I yell
She appeared in the doorway of the bathroom. "Are you dealing with a hang over or something. You don't look good."
"El, you know I'm not that type of person." I stand up.
"When you didn't answer your phone I got worried."
"Well thanks for checking on me but I'm sure I'll be fine."
"Well what helps me when I'm not feeling good is a glass of wine."
"El, I thought you didn't drink while you were pregnant."
"I don't but It might help you out."
"I really don't think so."
"Well, any way if you feel any better tonight we would love to have you over for dinner." She said eyeing me worriedly.
"I'll call you later and I would love come over if I'm feeling up to it. "
I ended up going to dinner. I still had no Idea how i was going to tell them I was pregnant. I was going to just wait and hope for a good opportunity. There never was. I was getting more nervous by the minute Peter went to pour me a glass of wine. "There is no need for the Peter i really don't need a glass."
"No sense," he says and continues poring a glass.
"Peter, I can't drink wine tonight?' I say.
"Why not?" Peter says.
"Vomiting and not drinking you. No Way you are so pregnant," El said excitedly.
Peter just look at me with a shocked look on his face. I made a you got me face.
"Yeah, I am."
"What?" Peter said in shock.
"Your going to be an uncle," I say awkwardly.
He hugs me but you can still tells he is in shock. It not surprising it's not Everyday you find out you sister is pregnant with your dead, best friends, baby.
