Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

It was an involuntary reaction. Mia swore she didn't mean to hit anyone. She slapped her brother's back, and the sound echoed in the living room, silencing everyone instantly. "Did you just say my baby has no heartbeat!" She grabbed her brother's shirt, pulling him closer. Her voice was harsh as she emphasized, "My baby is moving inside me. How could it not have a heartbeat? You bought a faulty device and now you're blaming my baby." "Wait, wait a minute," Cooper stammered.

He placed his hand on Mia's belly, feeling for the baby's movement. After ten seconds passed, Cooper impatiently urged his sister's belly. "Come on. Why won't you kick?"

But there was no movement. Cooper looked at his sister's face, and then pointed at her belly. "Mia, it's not moving."

Mia retorted, "Of course, my baby isn't some common creature who would just kick whenever you want. You think you're that important? Even its father doesn't get that privilege when it's in a bad mood." Andre at the side remained silent, knowing that was indeed the case.

Cooper tried again with the device on Mia's belly, wearing his headphones. "Mia, there really is no heartbeat."

Andre remained calm. He took the device and started reading the instructions, trying to figure it out, while his wife and brother-in-law continued their argument.

"My son is very temperamental, you know. You have to call him 'sweetheart' and tell him 'I love you' before he might give you the time of day," Mia explained.

Cooper questioned, "Is this baby a boy or a girl? Why is he so sensitive?"

After speaking, Cooper rested his hand on Mia's belly. "Sweetheart, I'm your Uncle Cooper. I love you. If you hear me, give me a kick."

The baby didn't respond. Cooper said, "Mia..."

Mia interrupted, "I told you, he might give you the time of day. Clearly, he's not doing that now."

Andre had figured out the problem. "The batteries were installed backwards."

Cooper could only facepalm at his mistake.
