Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 106
Leona met me just outside the station and took me around the back so no one looking would see us or at least I'd be safe. "You have completely lost your mind…. but I guess that's the reason..." "Don't even finish that sentence because I don't wanna hear it!" I cut her off. I tossed her a breakfast burrito and followed her in where she took me straight to the cell that housed Billy who looked so upset and even more upset when he saw me. "DAMNIT MIA....WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he hissed looking worse than I had seen him just a couple days prior. Leona finally opened his personal door letting me inside with him and closed us in which freaked me out setting my anxiety on overload. I took an extra min to let my heart stop pounding and my focus to rebalance on where I was and what I was doing there. "Ummm ya sorry I know I heard that you had a threat against your life... but as you know that won't stop me from coming to see you. I brought you breakfast, and it's been approved so no-worries. I wanted to come talk with you before class and to be honest….I—I’m nervous to even tell you.. it is something that affects us both and I want you to be the first to know and decide what you want... ummm so have a seat because you pacing a small ass place is not helping me at all" I was trying not to panic more than I already was.
Once he finally sat down and tore open the wrapper of the burrito I stood near the door for a min until I figured there might be sound recording or even video in the room. "Ok so this has to stay between us ok because it's very risky and to be honest I don't want anything from you but want you to know and give you the decision on what you want...." I stopped needing to focus on my thoughts as everything was going crazy in my head. Not to mention I was scared out of my mind what he might say. I was not afraid of him as he would hurt me but afraid that he might do something to make his case go another way. Billy scarfed down the burrito all while he was looking at me and with confusion all over his face. I gripped my jacket tight and stood taller ready to just walk away and never tell him a word. "Why are you leaving? You didn't just come here for small talk breakfast or whatever the hell this is" he frowned getting back up.
Billy came to me and looking around the room he did not care if anyone saw us and pulled me close. "Mia... you are shaking... don't try and lie I can feel you trembling so please tell me what's happening.." "I'm pregnant and it's yours.... I know I told you I could not get pregnant and..." he pulled back so fast holding his head and refusing to look at me. "No, no, no this can't be... I am never going to be a good...I won't say anything but I don't want you coming here anymore and I don't care what you do with….. I want nothing to do with it!" he stepped up to the cell and banged on the door. Leona came running and opened the door ready to kill if necessary. "WHAT THE....." "GET HER THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.....I DON'T WANT HER BACK HERE AGAIN....!" He yelled. I tried to get a word in, but he was starting to freak out to the point that Leona called for the psych doctor to come give him something to calm him down. Leona walked me out the back-side door and holding on tight as though I had done something wrong. "Jesus not so tight.... don't worry I won't be back until you call to let me know the time of the arrangement, because I will be there!" I was very matter of fact on my decision to see this through. I slowly slid into the back seat as Bailey held it open. Leona got in close "You will not be notified since he's made it clear not to involve you anymore which I could not agree with more. So just stay away and if you don't I'll arrest you myself!" she could tell there was more going on and irritated that I would not share with her as she clenched her teeth. Bailey shut the door and had me at the school by 7am an hour before the first class. I had just enough time to make sure I had everything I needed along with the assignment for the week.
My classmates and friends were happy to see me along with the professors who made it a big deal as I had been by far at the top of my class. Staying strong even though I was doing it all by Skype and turning in assignments before they were due including the extra credit left on the website during Christmas break. "Ha-ha yes it's called having no life I suppose.." I laugh when Kelly made fun of me for being too smart for my own good. By the 3rd week Billy was still waiting to hear what would happen and just as he was fearing the worst, after all the doctors had come in and out seeing him. The day had come for him to go in front of the judge and to take whatever punishment he would face for Violina’s death. That same day I had my 1st appointment with my new doctor which I chose the woman on the list who had a lot of experience in just what I needed. I checked in early after filling out the paperwork and was happy to be seen into the Drs personal office instead of an exam room first. I had been the first one in the office and appointment of the day making it even easier on me not having to wait.
Dr. Remmington came walking in a few mins later and just in her dress clothes without the jacket on yet. "Ms. Ribbonowski it's a pleasure to meet you... I feel like I already know you after reading your very large file from Dr. Fanderson that arrived a few days ago. I really hope to be able to help you and that little baby growing inside. I must admit though it's not going to be easy and now I'd like for us to just get to know one another a little before we go into the exam room. Tell me what you are hoping for and what else you might need since I specialize in many different things" her smile was infectious as she shook my hand taking the seat next to me instead of behind her desk. I took a deep shaking breath trying to slow down all the thoughts running through my head, "Well good to know that you read my file and got to know me a little before today and then again I did the same thing. I think we'll make a great team, but if it’s not too much to ask for I would just like to get on with the next step if you don't mind. I am now about 17-18 weeks and really nervous as you know… I lost my twin girls close to this time..." "Yes ma'am but you also had other circumstances that caused that... not to mention the other trauma and that's what is worrisome…. so if you want to get into the exam room we can" she was very calm and put me at east from the beginning as she stood up.
20 mins later Dr. Remmington was printing out the 2nd set of photos and this one was of a heathy baby boy. "It's exciting to see and hear the heart beat and he seems great, but remember every day that goes by anything could happen and I just don't want you getting your hopes to high" she was guarded about me and this little boy giving me all the dos and don’ts as she helped me sit up. "Doc you really don't have to tell me that since I've yet to even share the news with family or friends only the father who is not happy nor does he want anything to do with either of us. I don't blame him considering the hell he has been through. Anyways I have class soon, so I really appreciate this and you coming in super early" I was happy for everything she had done for me. She had left the room giving me time to clean up and put my underwear and jeans back on. "One last thing are you eating properly and taking anything? I have notes here saying you are very sensitive to medications and would prefer natural things if possible" she had spoken through the door as she continued to read her notes.
