Brian was a little irritated by her 'have to'. "No, you don't have to if you don't want to. We're not that close.I mean we get along but they live in Barstow and I don't really see them all that much or call. Jack tends to stop by mom sometimes."

"Good, I was getting a little worried for a second!"
He dialled their number, which hadn't changed in 25 years. "They'll love you." as soon as he heard the rough, grumpy voice on the other line he started feelinga little odd because he hadn't calledin so long but what would he haver told them. ' Hey mom and dad, guess what, I'm in jail or I lost my job.' he took a deep breath. "Hey dad, it's Brian. Just wondering how you guys are doing?" He waited for his dad to give him some casual answer. "No, Jack's okay. he's actually living in my old place now because I moved in with my girlfriend." Another pause. his dad mumbled something along the lines of 'bout freakin time that one of you boys got their act together'. "Is mom there? i was wondering whether you have time next weekend. We'd like to come and visit you so you can meet Mia."

Mia smiled listening to Brian on the phone, she could see the discomfort on his features, yet his own happienss at speaking to his parents. She tried to keep herself awake though, but his voice was soothing her, and sleep was pulling her back under.

"So we're invited for a weekend in Barstow. It's about a two hour drive inland on highway 15." He explained when he realized that Mia was snoozing.

"That's okay. You've been working hard. On your feet all day." It was a bit strange that she'd pass out before 9 pm but Brian wasn't worried too much. "You can go to bed if I'm boring you so much." he joked.

"No, go ahead. I'll just read a magazine." He pointed at the stack of unopened mail. "or do some work, I guess." Brian got up and reached his hand out to help her up. "Is the little fella wearing you out? Anything you want? Food? drink? You know I'm famous for my delicious meals!"

There it was again. This feeling of helplessness. Not knowing how to do things right. Mia seemed to adapt very well to her new situation. She handled it like the most natural thing on earth. For Brian on the other hand the only thing telling him that he was going to be a dad was Mia and her wild cravings. How would he ever find his way into this crazy role. he watched her slowly walk upstairs and took a deep breath. Busters nose brushed against his hand and he nodded. "Yeah, I think you're right. You and me have to get out of here. Let#s go for a walk. A long one." A minute later the door fell close behind them and he dissapeared in the night with his old best friend.

Mia made it into her bedroom when she heard the door close downstaris, she furrowed her brow and crossed to the window, pulling apart the blinds she watched as Brian and Buster made their way down the street. Licking her lips she let out a tired sigh, she could see he was having trouble with the whole father idea and she had honestly know idea how to make him feel any better. Maybe at the scan things would finally sink into him, or just make him freak out more.
Shaking her head she kicked of her scrubs, and slid into the bed, pulling down the blankets she curled herself into a ball, eyes drifting closed.

It was a long nightly walk. The area they lived in wasn't the safest but with Buster at his side Brian was comfortable. He made his way to a small 24h corner store four blocks away and entered. Inside he asked for something very untypical. A pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Brian wasn't a smoker. Never. He'd tried it years ago and had some trouble giving it up so he'd promised himself to stay away from it. Until now. Outside he lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply. His throat and lung tightened and he caughed up most of the smoke instantly. Aparently he wasn't used to it any more. The second and third draw went better and the smoke finally made him ease up a little. With Buster at his side he kept walking, had another one, passed a few interesting cars on the way and kept walking.

Mia woke Friday feeeling refreshed yet slightly nervous, today would the day they would get to see their child, a proper child with fingers and toes and a little heart beat. She smiled as she rolled over, dropping a kiss to Brians naked chest.
"Rise and shine sleepy head"She muttered as she slipped from the bed heading towards the shower, the appoitment was first thing in the morning and if they didnt get a move on they would be late.

Brian mumbled something along the lines. "Too early", rolled over and pulled the pillow over his tousled hair. Why would he get up? He had no job right now. A little more sleep would be nice since Mia had been sideways in the bed keeping him up half of the night.

The sudden change from warm to cold made him open his eyes with a groan. "Fuck, Mia. Get your hands of my blanket. It's too early." He rubbed his hand over his face and looked at her all dressed and hair up in a pony tail. "Where are you going?"

At first he wanted to object, talk about his hurt feelings and that he had a brain after 8 am but at her last words he was wide awake, jolted out of bed, got his foot tangled in the sheet, almost fell flat on his face and caught his balance just before his forehead hit the dresser. For a second he stopped and looked at her. "The baby scan?" Then he started rummaging around in the dresser, pulled out the next best shorst and t-shirt, which happened to be army shorts and a Budweiser t-shirt he had been give a long time ago. "Let's go!"

Mia laughed watching him with slight amusment, at his choice of cloths she raised a brow and shook her head.
"Your gonna wear that"She questioned with a small laugh as she lifted herself from the bed and headed towards the door.
