response, not believing the answer I gave.

“Its understandable that you would forget due to the force struck to your head. Now would you please leave Mr Marsh while I talk with Mia” The nurse was strict but I appreciated that she stuck up for me and that she was asking Ian to give me some space for a while…

“NO! I’m not leaving her side… not again!” Ian’s hand tightened on mine as he became more protective.

“Are you a family member? Mia’s husband?”

“No, I’m her boyfriend!”

“Then I’m going to have to ask you to leave!” They were both staring at each other, neither of them backing down. I tugged on Ian’s arm until he broke off with the nurse and gently gazed into my eyes

“Please Ian… she only wanted to help…”

“That’s right Mr Marsh. I promise as soon as I’m done, you can come back in!”

In surrender Ian gently kissed my forehead before exiting the room.

“Now Mia, you took a tremendous force to your head and lost a lot of blood, but you’ll be happy to know that your baby is fine and healthy…” I blanked out to the rest… WHAT!! BABY!!!

“wait… what was that!” I looked at her confused and shock spread across my face.

“oh… you didn’t know.. yes you are around 5 weeks pregnant.. its still early but from what we can see, the baby is doing fine! But don’t worry, we get young parents a lot and we can provide psychological and nursing help or we can look down the path of abortion.”

I’m pregnant! I’m only a baby myself!! I shouldn’t keep this baby should i? but I can’t kill what is part me and part Ian.. Ian, shit he dosen’t know… how will he take the news that he’s a father? What about Richard! If he finds out I’m pregnant, both me and the baby will be in danger…

“You don’t have to make a decision right away Mia, but if you’re going to abort.. the sooner the better because it will effect your body less.”

My eyes darted around the room, trying to think of anything.. what was I going to do?

“Miss…” The nurse brought my attention back and I focused on her…

“I’m keeping the baby!”

Chapter 33- Baby on board

 I’m pregnant, I’m pregnant, I’M PREGNANT!! These words kept repeating in my mind as I laid there alone in the hospital bed. How could I have been so careless… we are having sex a lot! And without protection, so of course this was going to happen! How could we have been so stupid!

*knock knock*

Ian entered with a huge bouquet of red roses and a smile on his face, trying to cover the worry and blame he felt in his eyes.

“How are you feeling?”

“I… I’m feeling better…” I still couldn’t snap out of my trance. My mind was still consumed by the thoughts of the mini me growing inside of me!

“whats wrong?” oh crap, Ian can see right through me while my mind is somewhere else!

I inhaled deeply and forced a wide smile on my face, “Nothing… just… tired of sitting in here all day.. when can I go home?”  

Ian’s sadness was replaced by query as he questioned my response. “Well good news, I came to tell you that you can leave today!”

***

Ian wheeled me out of the hospital in a rental wheelchair and down to his huge black 4 by 4. He lifted me and gently places me in the passenger seat as if I was a china plate- so fragile…

“Ian, I’m fine! You don’t need to tread me so carefully!” He laughed, deeply as he continued to secure me to the seat. I gave in and sat there as he slowly shut my door and ran to his side.

He pulled out of the hospital car park and began to drive home.. finally…

Resting my head against the cold window, I gazed at the world passing by… oh how mine will soon end when I give birth! I won’t even be able to finish school! So I’ll have to get a job that won’t even pay enough and look after mini me on my own… unless Ian wants to be a father. Then he’ll go to work for his father who doesn’t want anything to do with me. And Ian will never let me lift another finger, buy me everything and care for me the rest of my life… I don’t like either situations!

I wrapped my arms around my stomach.. I’ve always wanted children but not now! Not while I’m still a child and can’t fend for myself!! I love you mini me, but I don’t think you will love me back if I bring you into such a hateful world…

I looked back out the window and noticed that the further Ian drove, the bigger the houses became…

“Where are we going?” I was confused, I thought Ian was talking me back to Mrs Jones's…

“Home” Ian briefly looked from the road to me,

“But I live on the other side of town… this is the way to yours…”

“No, its now our house!” What!? I can’t move in with Ian, not with his father there!

“No Ian!! I want to go home!” Ian kept his eyes on the road, his grasp on the wheel went tighter with rage

“I’m never letting you go back to that place.. its not safe!” Ian spat. But if only he knew that going back to his house would be the least safest!

I tried to open the car door. I had to think about mini me now and I don’t want them to be anywhere near the reincarnation of the devil, also known as Richard. “Please Ian… take me home!” I begged

“Why!? I can protect you if you stay with me. If I let you go back there, I won’t be able to sleep or eat knowing you’re so far away and so vulnerable! I know its selfish, but please… I need you to stay with me…” oh Ian, its not selfish of you at all! I want to stay with you but…

“What about Richard” It slipped out before I could stop the words. Ian confused, looked at me and turned his head to the side working out what relevance this situation had to his father.

“…he’s hardly ever home.. he has an apartment closer to his office…” Ian explained still confused, but I felt relieved knowing that Richard won’t be there, but also that If I was with Ian at all times then his father hopefully wouldn’t attempt anything in front of him!

***

“Perfect!” Ian finished tucking me tightly into his bed and took a step back to admire his work. He slipped into the bed next to me, pressing play on the DVD remote and wrapped his arms around me. I rested my hand over mini me,

“Perfect…” I whispered to myself.

Chapter 34- Revealed

“Ian, don’t give me those puppy dog eyes! You need to go to school!” Ian laid next to me, snuggling and hugging me trying to persuade me that he should stay home with me… he was so cute, but I really needed some alone time!

“But I need to stay with you”

“No! its been a week already, I don’t want you to miss out…” and also I was starting to show! Mini me has started to grow and therefore the bump is beginning to get bigger and bigger…If Ian stays by my side any longer he will start to notice…

“Alright… but I will come home as quick as I can!” He kissed my forehead before shuffling out his bedroom. Finally I was alone!

I slowly wobbled off the bed – it had been so long since I had walked on my own, Ian didn’t leave my side he whole time! I even had to argue with him to let me go to the toilet on my own!!

I stretched all my limbs as the adjusted to new movements my body made and I wobbled to the suitcase Ian had brought from Mrs Jones’s house filled with my belongings. I rustled through my clothes until I came across the pregnancy test I had took at the hospital just after hearing the news… I didn’t believe them and I needed to see it for myself- 2 pink lines, yep.. pregnant!

“What are you doing here!” I turned on my heal to find Richard at the door and my mouth instinctively dried, sweat beading on my forehead with fear. I quickly hid the pregnancy test behind my back while my other hand covered my stomach, protecting mini me… I guess my motherly instincts are kicking in!     

“n…n…no, erm… Ian….” I couldn’t talk, I was too scared to form a proper sentence.

“What are you hiding?!”

“N….nothing!” I pushed the test further behind my back, hoping Richard wouldn’t notice… but I was never that lucky! Richard stomped towards me and tightly griped my wrist, too strong for me to resist and fight against, he pulled my arm from my back and before him was my positive pregnancy test…

We stood there in silence… he had nothing to say, but I could feel the rage flow through him. His grip on my wrist tightened making me loose grip of the test making it fall to the ground.

“YOU’RE PREGNANT!!” Richard spat as he threw me across the room. My back smash against the wall and I slid to the floor... “YOU WHORE!! YOU’RE PREGNANT!”

I could see the anger fill Richards gaze… I cowered with fear, this was the scariest I had ever seen him. I scrunched into a ball to protect my stomach from any attack but Richard just lifted my up against the wall by my neck. I scrambled, trying to release myself before the oxygen left me.

“I would have thought the first time I asked you to stay away from here would be enough, I mean I even threatened your own mom, but you just couldn’t stay away!! Then when I left you for dead in your own fucking pool of blood- I thought that the message would have gotten through that thick skull of yours but you just keep coming back like a pest!” Richard spat through his clenched teeth.

“I will never leave again… I love Ian and no matter what you do to me he will always love me back!” I don’t know where I summoned the strength to say that but I surprised myself. I winced, waiting for the sharp contact of his fist to my
