wrong?”
“I just found out I am pregnant.”
“Oh my God Meeka! I am so happy for you. Aren’t you happy?”
“Not with all of this. How could I be with a man that took my son’s father away from him? Not to mention that he kept it from me, I will never be able to trust him again.”
Tamila held her tongue so much that it hurt. She didn’t see the point of saying anything because Meeka was not in the mood to hear anything. The mother knew when to let her daughter stew for a while. It was her process and Tamila had learned a long time ago to accept it. Where she would like to hash it out immediately, Meeka was more prone to mental shutdown for thoughtful reflection. She knew that her daughter’s mind was made up until she changed it.
Chapter Seventeen
Meeka ignored Rick as best as she could. At first he called multiple times and sent several text a day, but after a couple of weeks, the calls were once a day. It had been a few months since the day in the hospital and Meeka had still not changed her mind. She felt betrayed and as the child inside of her grew, she contemplated what she would do.
She had decided that she was going to need a bigger place and was actively looking for a small house. Passed the stage of morning sickness, Meeka was starting to enjoy the idea of another child, but the feeling was bittersweet without Rick. She thought of him mostly at night, with the day, she could stay busy enough to not have to think too much. Her body missed his touch so much it hurt.
Meeka knew that she had to speak to him eventually but she was not ready for the inevitable. She was just not ready to deal with it, but she was pushed into some sort of decision when she was going through the mail after work one day. The letter was thick and from her lawyer. When she opened it, she scanned through the documents and she couldn’t believe what she was reading.
Her hand went to her phone and dialed her lawyer’s number. She understood the paperwork, but she just didn’t quite understand what had happened.
“Gloria Stein’s office?”
“Yes this is Meeka Brown. I need to speak to Gloria if she is available.”
“Oh yes, let me get her.”
Meeka waited nervously on the phone. She scanned through the multiple pages and then stared at the spot that required her signature.
“Meeka, how are you? I know you didn't really want to be involved too much in this process but we're at a stage in the case now where we need you. Did you get the settlement agreement?”
“I did. How did this happen? I thought we had to go to court again next month?”
“We did, but the doctor gave in and said to just pay it. Maybe his conscience got the best of him, who knows? You won’t have to worry about him working around here or anywhere else again.”
“Why do you say that?”
“A settlement over a million dollars? He will never be able to be insured again, his rates would be astronomical.”
“Oh.”
“You don’t sound happy. I thought this is what you wanted.”
“It was.”
Meeka told the woman what she really wanted done and Gloria was quiet on the other end.
“Make sure you send him a good bill.”
Gloria brightened up on the other end and even though her client was going against her recommendation, she drafted the paperwork she had requested.
When Meeka got off the phone with the lawyer, she felt a little more at peace.
Chapter Eighteen
Rick was in agony. He missed Meeka so much he did not know what to do with himself. She would not answer his calls or return his texts. He had even went over to her apartment a few times, but as soon as he said his name, she would not respond. She didn’t yell or scream, she just said nothing. Rick would have rather she scream at him, than the stone silence she gave him.
A few times Rick had found himself outside the restaurant she worked at, but he couldn’t muster the courage to go in. He also didn’t want to cause issues for her at work. She was pregnant and
