Chapter 1 My sister got pregnant out of wedlock , delivered a baby boy at some sketchy clinic , then vanished into thin air . The doctor tracked down our house using the address she'd left behind and dumped the kid on me . Mom and Dad literally got on their knees , begging me to take him in . So there I was a single woman in her twenties , stuck raising someone else's baby . I busted my ass for years getting that kid through childhood . Then boom - my sister waltzes back into the picture with some flashy businessman dripping in gold chains . She scooped up the boy , tears streaming down her face , spinning this sob story about how I was jealous of her and had stolen her child , tearing them apart . Without missing a beat , the kid cut all ties with me and ran straight into her arms . Mom and Dad threw me out on the street . The whole neighborhood turned against me . When I couldn't take another second of it , I jumped off a building . When I opened my eyes again , I was back to the day my sister gave birth . The sun wasn't even up when someone started banging the hell outta our door . I shot up in bed , totally drenched in sweat . This was déjà vu all over again - that clinic doc making a whole ass scene, waking up half the damn neighborhood . He'd literally shoved the baby right into my arms in front of everyone , going off about how I was some deadbeat mom who ditched her own kid . Turns out it was my sister's baby . Whoops . Mom and Dad were all like " just keep him , you're not getting married anyway , " so I caved like an idiot . God , what a shit show that turned out to be . Now I'm hearing those same sounds again . I jumped up and ripped the door open - same damn face staring back at me . " Mia Hartley , you had a baby and bailed on him . You know that's like , super illegal , right ? " All the neighbors were already rubbernecking , trying to catch the tea . I stared at this dude for a hot second , then yanked off my slipper and went full beast mode on his face ! " You lying piece of trash ! Nice try with your little scam ! " " I don't even have a freaking boyfriend , let alone a baby ! You ever see a woman who just gave birth throw down like this ? " " Do I look like I just squeezed out a kid to you , genius ? " My surprise attack left this doc totally shook. That's when my neighbor Mrs. Rodriguez snapped outta her trance . 09:35 Raise Your Bastard ? Nah , Reborn to Return Your Future Jailbird ! 0.0 % Chapter 1 " Yeah , Mia's at work every damn day . We ain't never seen her with a belly ! " " This has gotta be some kinda mix - up , right ? " " Wait , I know this guy - he's from that sketchy clinic down the block ! " I put my hands on my hips and let him have it : " You shameless old creep ! Running your nasty clinic and now trying to pull this BS on me ? Someone call the cops ! " The second I said police , this guy went white as a sheet . " L - look , I'm not gonna argue with you about this ! " I grabbed a handful of his hair . " Oh , you're not gonna argue ? Well tough shit , ' cause you're not walking away either ! " Whipped out my phone and hit 911 : " Yeah hi , we got someone trafficking babies over here ! " " Don't you dare make stuff up ! " " When the cops roll up , you better start singing . Or I'm gonna wreck your whole damn clinic ! " . " God gave me a do - over , and I was letting every bit of rage from my past life rip . By the time the police showed , the doc was holding this baby with his face all beat up , while I'm standing there in my PJs , still gripping my trusty weapon slipper , mad as hell . After the neighbors spilled the tea , the cops looked at the baby he's holding- Definitely fresh outta the oven . Still had all the gross newborn stuff going on . " What's happening here ? " " The patient wrote down this address and name ! " The doc's fumbling around his pockets and pulls out some medical papers . The officer checks it out - yep , our address and my name right there on the paperwork . I crossed my arms : " I got zero clue who used my name to pop out a baby and make me the patsy ! " Right then Mom and Dad finally rolled up . " Mia , sweetie , you're not gonna get married anyway . Why don't you just take him in ? " " Mom , what kinda crazy talk is that ? I can't just randomly adopt some random kid ! " " Who knows what his parents are on - could be total crackheads . That trashy DNA runs in the family tree . I ain't raising some messed up kid ! " Mom and Dad just stood there with their mouths hanging open . The doc's face went dark and he straight up shoved the baby into my arms . " This is YOUR family's kid . I'm done with this circus . Tell Sophia her son's her damn problem . If I knew your family was this nuts , I never would've showed up ! " Suddenly everyone's talking at once - now they all knew it was my sister Sophia's baby ! ♡ ( 0 ) ( 0 ) 09:35
