Chapter 2 " Total BS ! First you're like ' it's Mia's baby , ' now you're all ' oh it's Sophia's . ' Got any proof or what ? You think you can just dump some random kid on us without any evidence ? Officer , I'm telling you this dude's straight up baby trafficking ! " I shoved that baby right back at him and crossed my arms . Done with this crap . Mom looked totally shook . " Mia ! " " Mom , Dad , don't be so gullible ! There's scammers everywhere these days ! " Mrs. Rodriguez jumped in : " Mr. Hartley , you shouldn't fall for this . First this doc said the baby was Mia's , now he's saying it's Sophia's . Dude's talking outta his ass ! " " Mia's got a point ! " " Who knows where he snatched that baby from ! " The doc totally flipped : " I'm Harold Mitchell and I swear on everything - I never lie ! " " Just last night your daughter Sophia showed up at my clinic begging me to deliver her baby ! " " I've even got her phone right here ! " He dug through his bag and pulled out a phone . I looked - yep , that's definitely Sophia's . Mom and Dad just froze . No getting around it now - this was totally Sophia's kid . The neighbors started running their mouths : " Sophia's so young and already popped out a baby ! Who's the baby daddy ? " " Who knows ? We never see her around , and she's always in those baggy clothes . Never would've guessed she was knocked up ! " " Probably got herself preggers fooling around with some rando ! " " Stop talking trash about my daughter ! " Now Mom was losing her shit . " Say another word and I'll rip your face off ! " Harold looked disgusted . " Ugh , whatever . Sophia told me to drop the kid off here after she gave birth , said her sister would take care of him . Officer , I got a letter Sophia wrote herself ! " He pulled another paper outta his bag . There wasn't any letter like this last time around . Even when Sophia came back throwing accusations at me , Harold jumped right in backing her up , basically pushed me to my breaking point . This piece of garbage was always rotten ! 09:35 Raise Your Bastard ? Nah , Reborn to Return Your Future Jailbird ! 0.7 % Chapter 2 Harold curled his lip . " Shoulda never come here . What shit luck ! " The cop sighed . " This is family drama . Y'all figure it out ! " I grabbed the cop's arm : " Hold up ! This isn't just family drama ! You gonna decide my sister had a baby and bailed based on just a phone and some letter ? " " What if she's dead in his clinic ? " The officer was like " oh crap , good point " and took Harold to check out the clinic ASAP . Mom and Dad followed them .. I ? Just booked it inside to pack my stuff . No way in hell I'm staying in this house . As I'm bouncing , a neighbor spotted me : " Mia , where you headed ? " . " Moving out , duh . I'm not gonna be here when Mom and Dad get stuck with that baby and try to make me raise it . " " Sophia had her own little accident - that's not my problem . I'm not even married yet . What happens when my future in - laws see me with a kid and think I've been sleeping around ? " They all nodded : " You're totally right , Mia . Gotta look out for yourself . Get outta there ! " " Poor girl ! Sophia's got some serious balls , having a baby and just peacing out ! " " Who knows if Harold offed her or something ! " " No freaking way ! " I didn't stick around for more gossip - I had to jet . By the time Mom and Dad got back , I was already chilling at the company dorms . Then Mom called . I picked up to her totally panicked voice : " Mia , where'd you run off to ? " I could hear a baby screaming in the background . Kept my cool : " I moved out . " " How could you just move out ? What about this baby ? " ♡ ( 0 )
