Something Great
I Can't.
“So this is the guy huh? He looks fine. I bet he’s loaded too!” I hit Maya on the arm as she said the last remark.
“I don’t care about any of that. I just want him to know that his lie, caused me to have a child that’s all.” Scrolling through the official website of his I get butterflies thinking about him.
“Well good luck, with his rep I doubt you even get his voice on the phone.” She rubs my back and goes back to her room.
“Thanks for your support!” I cynically say to her.
“Welcome!”
“Okay let’s try this.” I see a number on the ‘Management’ label and call it. Crossing my fingers all I get is the voicemail. “I’m not leaving a voicemail about this.” I reach down and feel my belly. Going on 3 months you can’t even tell I’m going to be a mom.
“Well I tried.” I log out and shut down the computer and turn on the tv. I figure it’s one less thing for him to worry about seeing that he’s a heartthrob of thousands of girls. And that he’s on tour again. The next few months are a pain to me. Morning sickness, mood swings, and crazy cravings. Maya keeps asking me about Liam, and I always say ‘not today’ or ‘I keep getting the fanline’ which was true the times I tried for the month. Now it’s my 6month check up with Dr. Stevens and Jake is outside honking the horn at me.
“Kee! We’re going to be late!” Honk Honk.
“Cut it out Jake I’m moving as fast as I can!” waddling to the car I get in and slam the door.
“Easy girl don’t break it.”
“This is your fault.”
“Hey I didn’t knock you up.”
“No that’s my fault. But this.” I point to my ankle that already has a bruise coming on “I bashes it on the coffee table when you honked.”
“Ouch well I’m sorry but you said your appointment’s at 10 and it’s almost 10! There was major traffic just getting here Kia I don’t think we’ll make it.”
“So why weren’t you here earlier? If you left at 8:45 like I told you then we wouldn’t be having this conversation now would we?”
“Oh wow you’re scary when you’re angry. I was busy with stuff for work okay.”
“Mmmmhmmm.” I don’t feel like arguing at 9 in the morning and let him win this round. 15 minutes later he screeches into the parking lot and stops right in front of the entrance, making it easier for me to go in. I wobble my way to the front desk and sign in. Catching my breath I sit next to a lady who is new here and one who is almost due. We make small talk when Jake comes in and sits next to me. It takes me a few minutes to convince them that he is just my friend and not the father. He had fun with that making up dumb stories of how he met me when Dr. Steven calls me in.
“Okay let’s take a look shall we? Put your leg while I do the cervix check.”
“Okay.” I hate this. This whole situation on checkups and ultrasounds is awkward. Laying her with my legs spread open and my hot doctor seeing everything gets me edgy. Especially the probing and touching with all those cold metal tools. Ugh.
“Alright everything looks fine. You’re right on track with your growth. Any pain or pressure down here?” he touches my stomach.
“Nope everything is just peachy.”
“Okay good. Get dressed and I’ll come back in an bit.” He rubs my leg.
“Sure.” I look at him weird and he leaves. “Okay my doctor is not flirting with me. He can’t be!” 5 minutes later I’m dressed and wait for the next examination when he knocks on the door. “Come in.”
“Good you’re ready, let’s go into the next room and take a closer look at your baby.” He takes my hand and escorts me into the ultrasound room. “Heads up, cold thing coming on.” He puts the petroleum jelly on the make the ultrasound look better. “Okay this is the feet, the hands, and the head.” He points to the screen and pushes buttons on his machine. “Do you want to know the sex now?”
“No I want it to be a surprise.”
“Okay 26 weeks in how you feeling?”
“Like there’s a small human inside of me, kicking me every 20 minutes until my bladder is bruised.
“Seems like your humor is still here. That’s good.” He smiles and wipes the goo off me.
“Cool. So I’m good to go?” I sit up and forget my imagination on the flirting. “You’re a really awesome guy Dr. Stevens. Well when your not, down there.”
“Thanks I think?” we laugh and he leads me back out to the waiting room.
“So you have the hots for your Dr.? Scandal!” Jake says before taking a bite of his burger.
“Well he’s nice and funny hey I’m hormonal so who cares. Get off my back. And what about you and Jessica. Don’t play coy with me your butt dialed me this morning when you two were having breakfast.”
“I have nothing to say about that.” He looks away and changes the subject “What about you and Liam?”
“Ugh just forget about him okay he’s out having fun living his life. I honestly don’t want or need anything from him.”
“Having fun living life is what you should be doing as well Kia. And here you are munching down your second batch of fires drinking your 3rd cup of Pepsi. Do you really want him to get off that easy?”
“Whatever he wants to do I’m not his boss nor his friend.” I take the last of my fries and gulp down my last cup of soda.
“Kee are you still trying to contact him?”
“No why should I?”
“Uh because he’s the father of your baby and he has a right to know.”
“No he dosent this baby is my responsibility not his.”
“Yeah and it takes two to tango. That baby wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for him. You need bullets to shoot the gun Kia.”
“I know! Just stop okay I don’t want to discuss this over burgers and fries at Carl’s Jr.” frustrated I get up and go to the restroom. Splashing water on my face and taking my prenatal vitamins I finally get the courage to call the ‘Management’ number one more time.
“Hello this is Robert, One Direction Management and Merchandise how may I help you today?”
“Oh crap you actually answered?”
“Excuse me?”
“Hold on!” I run out to see Jake who is flirting with the girl behind the counter “Go away!” I yell to her and pull his arm to the booth closest to us “Jake Robert’s on the line and he’s in charge of the band thingy and what do I say?”
“Tell him you need to speak with Liam.”
“I can’t tell him that he’s never going to believe me. Jake can you please?” I hold my phone out to him.
“Only cause your my best friend.” He takes the phone and talks business.
“I don’t care about any of that. I just want him to know that his lie, caused me to have a child that’s all.” Scrolling through the official website of his I get butterflies thinking about him.
“Well good luck, with his rep I doubt you even get his voice on the phone.” She rubs my back and goes back to her room.
