Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 99
Lola waited in the SUV while I had ran, into the 24 hour Goodies Mart and found what I had needed which had me running for a trash bin just on the other side by the pharmacy counter. "Ma'am....are you ok..." a soft voice from behind the counter asked. I wiped my face with my sleeve of my shirt and nodded tossing the boxes up on the counter and then grabbing random things from around the area condoms, tampons, chips, chocolate, batteries and watched as the young woman started to ring up the items. "Sorry I'm yes I'm fine just not feeling the greatest but I'm not contagious or anything.... ha-ha well unless possible pregnancy can be caught" I was so nervous I started laughing at the thought. 10 mins later I had my bags and was heading out with the sun finally starting to make its’ way up with Lola standing outside the SUV and watching the area as though I might be in danger. I wanted to shout that being in danger was what I would be in if I was pregnant. "Lola do you feel like driving I'm not really sure I can now...." I admitted as I approached her.
Lola did not say a word just got in the drivers, seat and took over which I figured was something new for her since usually the men drove us everywhere. "Miss... I am sorry but I had to call Bailey and all I told him is that you were not feeling well and that we came to the Goodies Mart to get you some medicine. He thinks we should call your grandfather before he leaves town since the only place open right now are intimidate care centers or hospitals and I'm sure you don't want any of those do you?" she had a hopeful smile as she looked at me. I made an unpleasant groan I thought maybe she was right but knew it would be the worst thing since I was trying to be a grown up and do it all on my own. "Actually I am good and called my Dr this morning when I woke up not feeling well and he is the one who told me to come here and pick up a few things so that's why I left in such a hurry. I hate being sick and I don't want my parents to worry as you know traditional medications don't really work so what I really need is my mother's house manager who has what I might need" I smiled hoping she would just take my word for it.
We got back to the house 10 mins later with Sadami and Leona in the kitchen making fresh coffee, along with the chef preparing some food for us all. "Your parents called about 5 mins ago and wanted to let you know your grandparents, Sav, Sebastian, and Bruce are stopping by before they head to the airport. Told them that you were still in bed since it's only 4:38am and well when I found your bed empty and Lola and the SUV gone figured the two of you went somewhere" she frowned looking at the bags in my hand. "Well I told them bye yesterday but whatever I—I’ll be down in a few mins you all just have a bite to eat and chef my smoothie when you get a chance please" I had just wanted to get through the next couple of mins alone without anyone up my ass. I quickly took all my items up to my room and locked the door behind me. I had grabbed every type of pregnancy test off the shelf and made sure that no one on the other side could see exactly what I was up to learning once again how to make things look foggy enough to them so they wouldn't be able to see. I could tell they were angry about it though and hated that even my girls did not like that I blocked them out until I was finished with what I needed to do. I read and followed all the directions on the box and decided that just leaving them and going about my day was not an option.
A total of 5 mins later the timer on my phone had finally buzzed and my heart was racing as I sat in the sitting room of my bathroom praying to the GODs it would not show lines or digitally read that I was pregnant. Taking a deep breath and looking down all 12 tests all said the same thing leaving me sick again with panic, "JESUS..... this is not happening I am not ready at all and I just can't...." I dialed the doctor and when he picked up I was silent. "Ok, by your silence I'm assuming the test or tests knowing you all came back with something you didn't want to see. If you want, I can come to you sometime today and bring what I have to just see what we have and how far along you exactly are. Then after the New Year depending on how far along you are, we can see what we can do ok" he did his best to keep me from going off the deep end. "Doc, I've only had sex with one guy and only one time in the last 5 months so.... and that was about exactly a month and 2 days ago, so I know my options and I have about what another 3-4 weeks before I need to decide on whether I keep or.... just get here when you can please... I have company and my grandparents, and my aunt and uncle will be stopping by shortly to say bye before they head back home so maybe noon time if you don't have anything that is urgent today. I'm sorry to have called you a couple days after Christmas, but this is some serious shit..." I whispered unable to get my voice any higher and we hung up a few mins later.
My whole life was flashing before my eyes once again as I placed all the tests back in their boxes and put the good tests in my floor safe along with the old ones that were wrapped in their old packages. I dumped everything else out on the bed just as someone had rung the front doorbell which told me my relatives had arrived. I messed with my hair making it look like I had just rolled out of bed and put a robe on as I exited the bedroom and found my way down to them. "Good morning sweet pea, we called earlier and told Leona we were stopping by to say our final goodbyes... you know we can't just leave without seeing your beautiful face" my grandmother TessaAnn smiled as she came towards me. "Ya sorry it was a long night and I'm stressing; I'm not feeling the greatest right now. I thought you'd all be too tired since Giovanni is here now and I'm sure you've all been helping mother. Anyways chef has breakfast going and coffee if you want a quick bite to eat or coffee for your way out" we all hugged before walking them into the kitchen. Lola and Leona stood when they all entered the room with Lola hanging up her cell phone and smiling at me. "It was Bailey checking in and says he found a couple of spots for you but for now your few things are at your old house with the tenants who don't mind and are even willing to let you move back in but they are definitely not moving out" she laughed and I knew they would never give it up.
Finding my inner happy self, I returned the smile back even though my mind was so far from that point now as the thought of what might happen next terrified the living shit out of me. I took the smoothie offered to me and sipped it hoping it would not make me sick, but it actually settled my stomach. "Oh yes.... thank you so much chef my stomach needed this" I smiled a real genuine smile as I sat down at the island. I slowly sipped a little more not wanting to overdo it if I did I would end up getting sick. Bruce and Sebastian grabbed coffee and a breakfast burrito the chef passed them for the road. My grandfather Ethan Sr and grandmother TessaAnn took a seat on the side of me trapping me from going anywhere as though they were about to drop a bomb or something. "Your parents are very worried about you and the stunt you pulled over the holidays was not only dangerous but..." "It could have had a very different outcome your father looks like he's aged 20 years and that's on you little girl..." I put my head down knowing what they were saying was the truth and just let them continue.
A good hour later I was just completely numb after dealing with my grandparents bitch me out but also were proud to call me their grand-daughter which was something I already knew but they had never really told me. "Wherever your path takes you, you will do great things my sweet angel princess....Grandpa loves you and would love to see you as a surgeon and practicing next to him, but if Law is where you end up your father would be just as happy I know. Then again if you pick something else entirely there will be sadness but love all in the same…" "Even if I decide to become a police officer and one day a detective?" I cut my grandfather off and watched the whole room gasp and faces fall. "I was even thinking about checking out the military just for a challenge" I shrugged and then laughed because my grandparents about lost their shit. "JESUS that is not a joke that is a horror story.... I would not be able to sleep at night and your father would probably die... not to mention what it would do to your mother" "For sure not that it's a horror story because it taught me things that no one else could have" my grandparents were all over the place not finding what I had said funny at all.
