Chapter 3

The news was still fresh on my mind. Me pregnant? It was just unbelievable. The father of my unborn baby was Brian and no one else. I just don't know how he will take the news if I disclose them to him.

“Serah, don't think about this too much, ok? I am here, and I am going to take really good care of you.” Mia says. She was such a nice person and I know she loved me so much. She supported me in everything, and now she is also supporting me. I don't know what I will do without her by my side.

“Mia, I don't think I will keep the baby.” I open my mouth to say that. Keeping this baby will remind me of all that Brian has done to me. All his disrespect and arrogance towards me makes it impossible to keep his baby.

“What are you saying Serah. You will not abort this baby, and that is final.” Mia says in anger.

“But Mia,”

“No buts, Serah. This baby is innocent. So you will not punish it because of Brian. I refuse that.” She says.

“Mia, I cannot bring this child into this world as a single mother. If I keep this baby, I will have to inform Brian that I am expecting his baby.” I say to Mia.

“Will he accept his baby and take responsibility for it?” Mia asks.

“I don't know Mia. But I have to inform him. I will not keep this away from him. I just hope he will accept the baby.” I say to her.

“I hope so too, Serah. Now it's time for you to rest. When you wake up, you will feel better. I will be here waiting for you to wake up.” Mia says.

The truth is that, resting was the last thing on my mind right now. All I wanted was to know whether Brian will accept this baby or not. Deep down I wanted him to be happy about the news. I wanted him to accept me again so that we can start to build our little family. I wanted him to support me all through this. I know it will be a tough journey, but it will be easier with him by my side.

When I open my eyes again, I see Mia sleeping on the couch that was beside my bed. She was so stressed earlier, but now she was sleeping so peacefully. I decide to let her sleep. There was no point of waking her up.

“My phone.” I say. I have not used it for hours now, and I feel like I have missed it so much. I look around, and I see my handbag hanged in a corner. It was a bit far, so I decide to come out of the bed.

My head was still in pain. I struggle to get my legs off the bed. I stretch my arm and I reach my bag. I check inside and I see my phone. I pick it up, and I go back to the bed.

I open my chats with Brian, and I start reading them all over again. We were so happy and in love back then. I don't know what happened that made him change so much.

My eyes tear up, and I start to cry all over again. My heart was hurting so much, and I don't think if I will be able to bear it. My sobs wake Mia up, and she comes running towards me.

“What happened Serah?." She asks me.

“Nothing Mia. I was just checking my phone.” I say.

“Who gave it to you in the first place. I remember placing it over there.” She says as she shows me where she had hanged the handbag.

“I took it, Mia. I am sorry. You were asleep, and I did not want to disturb you." I say.

“Give it to me. You have a head injury, and now you are stressing yourself. You might get a serious headache. Just rest, please Serah. I want you to get better. That is what is important for now.” Mia says, and I hand her the phone I was holding. She was right. I needed to get better first.
