I fell in love

Episode 21

Congratulations, you are six weeks pregnant, the doctor said to the couple.
“Thank you Doctor” They chorused.
“She’ll have to come back later to register for antenatal” said the Doctor
“Sure sir, thanks once again” he said with a handshake and they left the doctor’s Office.
“Sweetheart, we are having a baby. I’m going to be a mother” she said hugging him on their way out of the hospital.
Feranmi was surprised at her reaction.
“I thought she’ll take the news badly” he thought within himself.
“Yes we are having a baby, I can see you are very happy”
“Yes I’m happy” she replied with a smile.

“I’ll drop you off at home, we’ll celebrate in the evening”
On his way back to the site, he started doing some serious thinking, now he’s the one scared.
“God I thank you for this Wonder gift, but God please I don’t want to bring a baby I can’t take care of into this world, please make a way for me” he said silently and sighed.

Feranmi got home in the evening and was welcomed with a rom-ntic dinner.
“Baby, this is nice but remember you are told not to stress yourself”
“It’s not stressful, I’m fine and besides I’m home all day doing nothing”
After dinner they retired to bed.
“Congratulations to us once again” Wemmy said smiling.
“You really surprise me today, you know”
“How?” She asked
“The way you reacted to the news of course, you don’t want this before”
“Well I guess that’s the joy of an expectant mother, I can’t believe I’m carrying our child “ she said gleefully.
“I’m happy you received the news with joy”

“Hold on! Feranmi, you are scared, gosh! I can see it in your eyes”
“Ok, you got me, I’m a bit scared” he sighed heavily.
“But you’ve always wanted this from the start” she said sitting on top of him.
“I know and I’m grateful to God, it’s just that……..
“Job issue right. He nodded his head in affirmation.
“Sweetheart, the scripture says the young lion suffer and lack, but those who put there trust in God will never lack anything good.
All we have to do now is to trust God, trust me he works in mysterious ways.
See, there is this peace I felt within me since we got the news in the morning, trust me this baby will not suffer, that I am sure of.

Let’s just continue to pray and trust God, everything will be fine” she encouraged him.
“Oluwawemimo, what would I have done without you, thank you for those words of encouragement, thanks for making things easier for me. You never for once complained. I love you so much”
“I love you too, she said k-ssing him sed-ctively.
“No wifey, I don’t think love making is healthy for the baby at this stage”
“Like seriously! Says who?”
“I read some stuff on the internet at work”

“What! You are unbelievable, you just knew you are going to be a father in less than 12hours and you are already surfing the internet?” she said throwing a pillow at him playfully.
“Yeah, no s€× till further notice, deal with it” He said jokingly.
“That’s a lie, I will have to confirm from my gynecologist”
“When are we going to know the s€× of the baby?” he asked
“Google is your friend, so ask google” she replied laughing.
“Really! Well played. If you think I’ll touch you this night, OYO is your case”
“Haba! Someone can not play with you?”
“Off course you can my sweet wife” he replied planting a k-ss on her l-ips. I love you”
“I love you too”
They prayed that night thanking God for the wonderful gift He gave them and they also tendered there requests to God.

Feranmi now stays at home, he does one or two things in the house to keep himself busy. Wemmy now goes to work in his car.
Weeks later, he received a call from Segun his friend/boss.
“Hello Segun what’s up”
“I dey Ore, I have a job for you”
“You got another contract?”
“Not really, it’s a renovation work, one of my client in Port Harcourt bought a housing property and it needed renovation”
“Port Harcourt? That’s far, my wife is pregnant, I can’t leave her all alone here”
“Wow! Congratulations”
“Thanks”
“I think you’ll need the job, now that you are even expecting a baby”
“I know, but please give me time to discuss with my wife”
“I’ll give you two days for you to get back at me, if you are not interested I’ll have to get someone else to supervise the work for me”
“How long will it takes to finish the renovation?”
“Three months at most, it all depends on you too if you coordinate things well over there”

“You will hear from me in two days, thanks so much, my regards to your family”
“OK, say me well to your wife too”
“Sure I will” he ended the call with mixed feelings.

Episode 22
Wemimo came back from office and met her husband cooking.

“Sweetheart I told you to stop cooking for me, I don’t like it. I’m still the wife here. I’ll let you know if I’m too tired to cook, it shouldn’t be a daily routine”

“Easy is that the way to greet, I’m just trying to help here”

“Good evening”

“Welcome, how was your day?”

“My day was fine”

“How’s my little baby doing?” he said k-ssing her tummy.

“Your baby is doing great”

She set the table for them to eat. After dinner, Feranmi told her about Segun’s offer.

She sighed heavily. “Sweet heart PH is far, as much as I like the offer, the problem now is me, I’m four months gone how will I cope without you especially in this condition” She said pointing to her tummy.

“That’s why we are having this conversation, we need the money my love, a baby is on board already”

“I know….Feranmi but I will miss you here” she said close to tears already.

“Of course, I will miss you too, we’ve never been apart since we got married. Let’s just say we are doing it for our baby”

“When are you leaving”

“I don’t know yet, I’ll have to call to confirm from Segun”

“OK”

“Do I have your blessings” he asked

“Yes” she replied, now crying.

“Wemimo… please don’t cry, I won’t be able to go if you are like this”

“I won’t cry again” she said wiping the tears with the back of her palm.

“Come” he said drawing her closer. Please be strong for us, I’ll be back in no time and I promise to always come on weekends to check on you”

“ You don’t have to do that, it’s going to be too stressful. I’m Ok with once in a month. I don’t want you travelling up and down, not with this our bad roads”

“If it’s Ok by you, then I’ll make it once a month, but do not hesitate to call me if you need me to come over”
He called Segun the next day and told him he’s in. They made some necessary arrangements over the phone. He’ll be leaving for PH the following week.

Things were not going on well with the couples, Wemmy was all moody through out the week.

She doesn’t eat well and she’s already going pale.

“Wemimo please try and eat little, you are loosing weight already and its not good for the baby. He said trying to feed her.

“I’m hungry, but have lost my appetite”

“I’m still here and you are like this, what will now happen when I leave”

“I will be fine, don’t worry about me”

“Baby if you don’t want me to go then I’ll stay”

“No no no don’t stay, I promise I’ll get better.

“Now open your mouth, the food is getting cold” he said while trying to feed her.
Wemmy was a bit better before her husband traveled. On Monday morning she saw him off to the park. Good bye was really the saddest word to say.

Everyone in the park noticed them as she held on to her husband and cried.

“I guess you are newly weds” An elderly man at the park said to him.

Feranmi greeted the man with a slight smile on his face.

“Don’t worry your husband will be back before you know it” he said smiling.

“Thank you sir” Feranmi said to the man.

Wemmy left the park immediately the luxurious bus took off. She drove out of the park and headed for work.
