Episode 33
A week later, Feranmi said goodbye to PH finally, the project was a success, he was given three month and he did not exceeded the time frame. By now he was convinced about going into construction business fully, anytime another opportunity knocked, he decided he would grab it.

Wemmy was happy to see her husband back home finally.

“Welcome home Sweetheart, I now have my husband to myself” she smiled.

“Yes I’m here now, full time husband” they both laughed.

He squatted and k-ssed Wemmy’s baby bump. Daddy is back little one, I can’t wait to meet you”

“Baby says welcome Daddy, cant wait to meet you too” Wemmy replied holding her baby bump with both hands.

“That reminds me, what’s the s€× of the baby”

“I’ll tell you later”

“Why later”

“Which one do you want, a boy or girl”

“A girl”

“Then it’s a girl” she said laughing

“Be serious naau..at least I will know what to buy for the baby.

“I’m serious its a girl she said still laughing. Tada! food is ready, let me serve you”

Few hours later, Sophia showed up, She was so happy to see the couples.
“See my ba…by” Wemmy hugged her.

“Good to see you ma”

“Same here, how’s studies and the wh0le of UI?”

“Fine, i really miss the both of you. Uncle Feranmi” She called out immediately he came out of the room, she hugged him.

“See big girl, very soon we’ll be preparing for wedding”
Feranmi said hugging her back.

“Abi o, this is your house, so make yourself comfortable” Wemmy added and showed her to the guest room.

That evening, Wemmy went to Sophia’s room, they chatted for a while, Wemmy also gave her the gist about Emmanuel and Nurse Angel. Sophia was shocked when Wemmy revealed everything to her.

Feranmi paid Emmanuel and his wife a visit the next day, to show his appreciation. He had to go alone since Wemmy can’t move about for now.

The couples welcomed him well. Finally he met the great, loving and accomodating Nurse Angel.

Days later, Sophia met Nurse Angel when she visited Wemmy at home. Sophia really liked her, she’s very accommodating, she treated her like she knew her for long.

That very week Wemmy and her husband, they celebrated their first wedding anniversary on a low key with few family and friends, Richærd his best man and his wife, Emmanuel and his wife included. Sophia too was still around, Their Pastor and one or two Church members were present.

The party was more like a reunion. Sophia was looking so beautiful in her royal blue gown, she noticed a guy who had eyes on her ever since the party started. Before the party ended the guy walked up to her.

“Hello, I’m Alex” he said stretching his hand for a handshake.

“Sophia” She accepted the hand shake him”

“I like your dress”

“Thanks”

“I can see you are related to the couples”

“Hmm, yes”

“I came with my sister and her husband, they are friends to the couples”

“Ok, hope you enjoyed the party?”

“Sure I did”

“Alex where is your sister?” Emmanuel walked up to him. “It’s time to leave”

“Uncle Emmanuel!”

“Sophia! I’ve been seeing you around since the party started, well done.

“Thank you sir”

I’m glad you still stick around. How are you doing?

“I’m fine sir”

“How’s studies?”

“Fine,thank you sir”

“Do you too know each other”

“No”they both chorused

“We met here, I’m just saying hi” Alex explained.

“Uncle Emmanuel, let me call your wife, I know where she is” she excused herself.

“Alex…. you like her right? Be careful she’s the apple of Wemmy’s eyes”

“Nothing like that”

“She said she’ll join you soon

“Thanks Sophia, I’ll be in the car Alex”

“After you brother in-law”

“You are Nurse Angel’s ….or let me say Anty Praise’s younger brother”

“Yes I am”

“That’s good, please I have to attend to somethings”

Sophia turn back to take her leave, when he called her.

“Sophia please wait”

“Yes, you want something?”

“Can we be friends, I just like you”

“Ok”

“Can I have your number, please…”

“You can have it” They both exchanged numbers before he left.
Later that night in their bedroom, Feranmi brought out the gift he got for his wife, it was a gold necklace.

“Wow! This…is…beautiful, thank you”

“I got you something too”

“Wemimo, a Rolex wristwatch, thank you. I love you so much, happy wedding anniversary to us” he said k-ssing her.

“I love you too, We’ll celebrate many more of this by God’s grace”

“Amen, I doubt if I can still carry you, you are so heavy now, I’m even scared to touch you right now”

“I’m I that heavy, who made me like this in the first place? She hit him on the chest lightly.

“I’m sorry my baby, I wish I could help you carry the baby, but men are not wired to do so”

“Feranmi, my legs are aching”

“Sorry, it’s the stress. Lie down and let me m-ssage them”
He opened the locker and brought out a balm.

“Whao, your hands are soothing, thanks”
“Its my duty, you dont have to thank me. Baby I wish I could give you the wh0le world. I’m sorry my love you deserve more than this, I reserved most of the money I made in port Harcourt for the baby.
The hospital delivery fees, baby things, christening and all that. But I promise we’ll celebrate it bigger than this next year, He explained while m-ssaging her.
At least you won’t be pregnant next year” They both laughed.

“I’m not complaining, I like the fact that the party was just a small gathering, at least it helped cut cost as well, plus the last thing I needed now is crowd”

She yawned and slept off while Feranmi was still m-ssaging her. He noticed she has stopped talking, and realized she was asleep. He placed her well on the bed and tucked the pillows for her where necessary especially her back. He settled beside her watching her sleep. The first year has been rough but here they are with their love waxing stronger.

Episode 34
Feranmi was very helpful in the house, he does most of the chores. Wemmy is now on maternity leave.
Feranmi set up the nursery for the baby, the decoration was so beautiful, he filled it with nice toys. Wemmy loved it, the nursery was so inviting.

Wemmy also bought other necessary baby things in addition to what her husband bought.
Everything is going on well except for the fact that Wemmy refused to reveal the s€× of the child to her husband.

“Wemimo, don’t I have the right to know the s€× of my child”

“I told you it’s a girl”

“You only said it’s a girl because I said so”

“I’m not telling anybody the s€× of my baby, I’m not like those celebrity that will start announcing there baby’s s€× or do I look like Kim Kardasian?”

“I’m not anybody, I’m the father”

“I’m keeping it to myself. That’s the advantage of been the mother, maybe you should try to be a woman in your next life” she said teasingly.

“I know what to do, I’ll go see your doctor”

“Don’t bother, he won’t tell you, I already told him I want it to be confidential”

“He will tell me, I’m sure of that”

“Do you know what they call doctor- patient relationsh¡p, I’m the patient not you”

“I promise you I’ll tell this child everything you did to me”

“Sweetheart please don’t make me laugh, you want to report me to your baby”

“Sure I will”

“Eh Feranmi, I hope you are not like some men who abandoned their wife once they start having kids”

“You are right, I won’t even have your time again” he replied jokingly.

“So you will transfer all your love to the baby, right?”

“Hmm ! you need to see your face, I’m just joking. You know no one can take your place in my heart”

“I pray o”

Its time to go to bed, let me help you up. He pulled her up gently and led her to the bedroom.

Wemimo is already in her late third trimester. She got a call from Thessy whose wedding is in a month’s time.

“Hi, politician’s wife”

“Hi you too, na you sabi”

“How’s the preparation going?”

“Its going on well”

I’m coming to Lagos next week, I’ll bring the aso ebi along

“I’ll be expecting you girlfriend, my regards to your Parent, siblings and KB”

“I will, bye..”

Later in the evening, Wemmy informed her husband that Thessy is coming to Lagos.

“Sweetheart, Thessy called she’s coming over this weekend to bring the aso ebi”

“I doubt if you can attend the wedding, you are heavy already” he said

“Have always dreamt of been her chief’s bride maid, this baby bump won’t make it possible “ she said

“Its not too late, you can still best her, that is if you are prepared to put to bed in front of the alter” he said jokingly.

“You are not serious, I even thought you have a better suggestion.

****
The door bell rang, Feranmi went to get the door. “Welcome to our humble home, he said hugging Thessy.

“Thank you” she replied smiling

“Thessy…… she called out loudly

“Wemmy! I never knew you are this heavy. Trust me you can’t make it to my wedding.

“Yes that’s your punishment for refusing to be my chief’s bride’s maid” she said and they both laughed.

The weekend was fun filled with Thessy around, in fact they slept together in the guest room. Feranmi missed his wife’s attention so much that he had to complain.

“Thessy when are you leaving?”

“Meaning” she already knows what he’s driving at.

“My wife did not have my time again o, Honourable is waiting for you in PH” he said jokingly.

“Endure it, don’t worry in two days, I’ll pack my bags ”

“Fe…ran..mi, there’s love in sharing” Wemmy ch¡p in.

“Clearly your husband don’t want to share o” Thessy said and they all laughed.

I understand its been long you saw each other, but you guys have turned me into a bachelor again”

“Eh ya, sorry about that” You will soon have your wife to yourself”

That night,Thessy did not allow her to sleep in the guest room. Wemmy slept in their bedroom, she missed her husband too, it’s just so good to see Thessy again.

Thessy traveled back to PH two days later, Feranmi and Wemmy saw her off to the airport.
*****
The couple were in the kitchen cooking when Wemmy suddenly called out.

“Feranmi! I think the baby is coming”

“What !”

“My water just broke”

“OK, just relax, sit here I’ll be right back” he said and went straight to turn the gas off. He went to the nursery to get the baby things and took his car keys.

Thirty minutes later, they were in the hospital and his wife was wheeled into the labour room. Feranmi sat down in the reception praying quietly. He checked his time it’s two hours already, he couldn’t call anyone because his stubborn wife already told him not to call anybody until she gives birth.

Although he likes the way they kept things to themselves, if not the pressure would have been much from family and friends.

Two hours later, one of the doctors came out to meet Feranmi, The doctor was sweating profusely.

“Mr Feranmi, things are not going on well in the labor room, but I promise you we’ll try our possible best”

“What exactly is going on doctor”

“That’s why I’m here, who do you want us to save, your wife or the baby?” The doctor asked.

“Are you seriously asking me that? Save my wife” he cried out.

“Calm down, we’ll save your wife then, if that’s what you want”

“He knelt down and held the doctor’s overall. “Please she’s my life she ….must …not…. die. I’m placing her life in God’s hands and yours, please save her”

The Doctor pulled him up gently and sat him down on a chair” Just keep on praying” he said and went back to the Labor room.
