Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 104
The bedroom and bathroom that I would be calling home for however long I had decided to stay in Europe were 10x bigger than the ones at my parents with old and new fixtures in them which told me that things had been updated. I loved the old tub with its claw like legs which I made sure to use needing a good hot bath and called my doctor to let him know I had made it. "Yes I'm just heading for a nice relaxing bath as we speak, so if you could still send all those recommendations my way for a doctor here... that's if you have not reconsidered my offer" I crossed my fingers hoping I could have him visit instead of using a doctor there. He still declined my offer even though it was a good one that would only have him traveling if I needed him which was all the time it seemed like since I was panicking more. "I have the very best list for you and the top two are one's I've gone to school with and then the one right below those two have a lot of experiences with difficult cases like yours. She's also a woman so that might make things easier in transitioning. It doesn’t hurt that she has a background in unconventional medicine since you wanted to know of any herbalists and medicine woman since the medications I've prescribed are making you sick and the prenatal vitamins are not setting well with you or the baby. Just take a few days and look over it when you have time and get back to me when you can, I would like it to be sooner rather than later since you are such a special case and want to make sure we get you into see the doctor ASAP and monitored on a regular basis" he said which made me feel nervous.
As Dr. Manhattanber had gave me all the recommendations and promising to still be there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to. "OK doc will do and thanks again for everything...I will keep you posted of course and get back to you by the weekend ok" I promised before hanging up. I started my tub and let the sound of the water and the quietness of my surroundings take over as I was so uptight and feeling irritable. I undressed and touched my stomach that had started to grow a little every week it seemed. "I'm sorry little one... I'm not sure how this outcome will be, but I am hoping for the best..." I whispered to the both of us as I rubbed my belly. I could feel the flutters deep inside and loved that he/she was at least seeming to respond already to my touches and soft voice. My bath had been exactly what I had needed as I sang into the bubbles and let the stressed of the last few days wash over me. Everyone had wanted me to relax and take my time settling in which included taking a few more days to stay home and do schoolwork from home. “We know how stressful this can all be….and you’ve done such a great job including this here where you all are now. Bailey is one special guy and if you don’t mind me saying deserves a raise ASAP!” my grandfather Zeus had done his best to be calm and soothing even though he was as bright as a star when it came to everything he had done from talking to just his presence in a room. “I promise to think about it ok? I do have to learn to do multiple things which include having a child as he/she will be here before we know it” the thought of having a baby in about 7 months freaked me the hell out, but I knew I owed it to us both.
My parents had found me in my room after my bath and loving how spacious it was and “SO ME” they said the moment they got a good look around. “We are happy that you have decided on coming back here to school and not just giving up….not that having you back home wouldn’t make us both happy” my father smiled as he sat with my mother on the love seat. My mother had smiled kindly up at me “Your father is right, I could not be prouder of you and I know this is all still so new and rough as you’ve been only doing it for 5 months….Minus a few hiccups along the way. I love how strong you are and something I’ve always tried to be for all of us, and I’m sorry that I wasn’t the best I could have been after Ethan passed. I had felt like I failed as a mother so it was easier for me to just….I don’t know let someone else take care of you leaving me as a friend instead of both a mother and a friend. I just hope we can find our way back to what we had long ago and that you can find it in your hearts of heart to forgive me for being so clueless for so long” my mother had started to get upset leaving my father and I tense and just doing our best to give her love and support.
After spending time with them both and enjoying our dinner that our chef had cooked up after getting acquainted with our new house I had sent them to their area of the house needing to just get some school work done. I prayed that I could sleep in a new place even though I was sure I had a long night ahead anyways. Giovanni had been fast asleep since 6pm after his bath and dinner of his own, but I had also learned to give him some one on one sister time. My mother had said she appreciated all my hard work I had put into having a connection with my brother who was growing nice and strong every day. “I’ll see you both in the morning and please don’t worry so much, we will get through this and I have faith in that Billy will come out of this…I just want him to have a happy life without having to look over his shoulder. I know he still has a long way to go, but I have seen a real change in him since we met and there is no denying it!” my parents did not like the fact that I was so wrapped up in this man who had in all purposes been a killer even though he was doing what had been asked. “Just don’t get your hopes up honey…. He can still have anger issues and we just don’t want to see you hurt anymore at the hands of any man…. Or woman for that matter” my father now knew about Leona who had hit me as she had been upfront with them both.
By 10:45 pm I was ready for bed with JJ strutting in after he had been scratching at the door for me to let him in. "Ok... stop that before you ruin the door dude..." I scolded him and watched him jump up into the bed that had just been unwrapped and put together before I had arrived. Just as I was about to close the door my mother and father along with Giovanni came in. My parents looked serious as they entered my room and I figured it had something to do with me still blocking everyone I am connecting with mentally. I knew with them back up and at my end of the house that there was something else going on now. "Sharene just called and says that you still have not called her and that she really would like to speak with you. Told her I'd come check on you and your father insisted on coming since he needs to talk with you too!" she passed her phone over before having a seat on the sofa. "Well I am exhausted and don't know what to say to her... we've only spoken 2x since Christmas and I know she's upset with all of this but I'm not going to listen to the two of you so why would I listen to her?" I asked knowing that the Billy talk would be coming sooner or later.
JJ got down off the bed when my father’s voice got deep, and he started in on me. "JJ calm down it's ok…" I whispered down at him and petting his head as he got between me and my father. "This dog is really protective of you.... that's a good thing but not sure I like it with Gio around... with that said I think you should stay here while Billy and Maureen handle all this and I'll be there for legal representation but other than that there is nothing else left for me to do. All the best doctors are involved and if anything, he'll have to stay here for mental health if they admit him..." he had finally leveled out and calmed his voice down so that JJ would stop growling. My mother laughed thinking it was funny since JJ had rubbed my belly with his head. "He wants you to let him..." she stopped mid-sentence getting up from the sofa. "He's just being needy as usual, but he'll be fine...JJ bed now" I smiled and pointed to the bed and we all watched as he got in and fluffed it up. My mother handed Giovanni to me so I could say my final goodnight and to see if he could pick up on anything I figured. "Gio little dude you be good for mommy and daddy and please don't let mother come in here at all hours of the night with you..." I whispered with a little laugh.
