Sequence 15

Five months later, I couldn’t believe I was going to be a mother in the next one month. God truly works in mysterious ways, who can believe that a woman who was once called barren and incomplete was about to be a mother.
Being pregnant has really an awesome and challenging experience at first it was hærd for me to understand all the changes in my body, the stretch marks, br-asts getting big, the bump, gaining weight and the kicking which happen a lot these days but, I was just glad when the morning sickness is ended . Despite all the troubles that pregnancy comes with I didn’t even complain because I knew the outcome would be totally worth it.
I went on when I was seven months along because meetings and moving up and down was tiring. After I went on maternity leave I spent most of my days at Justine’s place, even when he was not around I would go and just watch movies, sometimes I even spent nights there. Justine is a great man and I really appreciate the kind of man he is, he has been there for me and my baby throughout, he has gone with me to doctors appointments several times, he would take me shopping, cook for me, and listen to my whining every time without complaining. Justine would make a perfect father for my little one.
Growing up I never really had many friends, the only person I considered my friend is Chloe, I tell Chloe everything that goes on in my life no wonder we have always been this close. I was happy with the fact that there was another person I was going to call friend, someone who I was able to talk to about anything without being judged. Justine made me feel special. He would confide in me and sometimes i couldn’t help but wish I had met him earlier than Dan, he would have made a perfect husband it’s just sad that we got to me at the time I was completely damaged and incapable of being someone’s woman.
All these months that have passed I still couldn’t completely say I had forgotten about Dan but spending time with Justine helped me to keep my minds off Dan and his issues, I was slowly healing from my past. I made a vow to erase Dan from my life even when I was carrying his child I was going to make sure he doesn’t know about my baby and my baby was not even going to use his last name.
My marriage was such a shame when I look back at all I went through I tend to think like Dan never loved me from the beginning because when you love someone you stand by their side through thick and thin and you protect them from all kinds of hurt but Dan did the opposite of that. Sometimes I wished that I could bump into Dan or any of his family members just so they could see how big my stomach was but it was time for that yet.
Just before you get any ideas, Justine I remained friends all these months friends he respected the fact that I was not ready for any relationsh¡p and he never talked about dating me since we became friends
Chloe, Joe and the kids were all excited about the baby, they bought clothes and toys each opportunity they got. I didn’t do a scan because I wanted the s€× of the child to be a surprise whatever the lord gave me would be fine, I was ready for either a girl or boy.
So it was a Saturday evening I was home alone because Chloe, Joe and the kids had gone for a one week vacation, they were visiting Joe’s family, I refused to join them because I wasn’t in the mood for traveling with this big bump on my belly.
“Maybe I should just remain with you” Chloe said when they were packing their bags in the car
“No Chloe ever since I got pregnant you are usually stuck here with me, I will be fine okay please go and have some fun” I told her
“I am worried maybe something will happen to you” she said
“Nothing will happen to me babe, if I get sick or anything I will call you” I told her
I was glad I managed to persuade her to go for this vacation, it would do her some good and now that I was home alone I felt bored, I would have called Justine but he was attending to some meetings and he said he would join me if he got some free time. I made myself a bottle of lemon water and some food then decided to watch a movie while laying down in my room, I had watched almost all the movies in my laptop and I don’t have new ones so I settled for “The Fault in our stars” this movie always made me cry but i kept watching it.
I was really concentrating on the movie and while a few tears streamed off my eyes when my phone rang.
“Hello” I answered without checking the caller Id
“Who are you with for you to answer like that?” he laughed on the other side on the line because I always said babe when I picked up his call.
“No one,” I answered
“Yu don’t sound fine are you crying?” he asked
“Oh its nothing am watching a movie and it has made me cry” I giggled
“Let me guess you are watching the Fault in our Stars” He said
“Awwww you know me that much?” I laughed
“Yes I do” he said
“Good to know that that” i said
“Okay I am picking you up in the next 30 minutes I am on my way to your house so get dressed” he said
I quickly stood up and slowly walked to my room to get dressed, gosh I was looking very big, I found an olive cold shoulder dress which I wore with black pumps, I didn’t apply a lot of make up because I found the process hectic, few minutes later I was ready to go. There was a knock at the door so I took my purse and phone and went to open it.
“Hey pretty one” he said while k-ssing my belly
“Mmmmmm so I am invisible now?” I asked
“Of course not beautiful, I missed you” he said as he pecked my l-ips lightly
“Let’s get going” I said
We went to his car and he opened my door as usual when I was comfortably sited he drove us for Dinner to Intercontinental Hotel. Despite being pregnant I still made sure I looked beautiful as before when I went out. I giggled when I saw how people where stared at us, thinking he was the father of my baby.
The waiter came to take our orders a few minutes later. When our food was brought we immediately started eating while talking about different stuff. Justine had never told me anything about his relationsh¡ps, that’s one part of his life he kept to himself, I didn’t push him too much knowing he would tell me about it someday.
“So is baby enjoying the food?” he asked why brushing my tummy
“Well I think baby is enjoying, the food, she keeps turning” I said
While we were eating des**t when I saw someone who looked so familiar and I took a second glance at the person just to be sure it was them, boom we locked eyes. My heart started racing because I didn’t want this person to see my baby bump, when I looked again the person was making their way to me, so I pulled the table closer so I could hide my pregnancy.
……………………………………
What is Mary doing here with that man?” I asked myself as she made her way to our table, when she reached where we were sitting I tightly squeezed Justine’s hand he sensed my tension. I was relieved that my bump wasn’t showing because of the table.
“Well. Well, well who do we have here? If it isn’t the barren woman” she laughed
“Pam who is this?” Justine asked
“Mary the woman Dan left me for” I answered
Then Mary laughed out loudly forgetting where she was and everyone was looking at her like she was insane
“I hope you don’t think of marrying her because she is barren” Mary said
Justine stood up and held her hand tightly, “what the hell is wrong with you? A woman hurting another woman?” he asked
I had never seen Justine that angry and I was worried he was going to hurt her but I couldn’t stand so I asked him to let her go.
“Oh she has you fooled?” she asked
“Shut up” he said
Then Mary laughed again and looked at me before walking away, I breathed a sigh of relief when she left. I didn’t want Mary knowing I was expecting because I wasn’t interested in her drama if she saw my pregnancy she could easily read how far along in was and maybe guess I was carrying Dan’s child and knowing how Mary is, she could bring me a lot of confusion so it was better not letting her know about my pregnancy.
“I am sorry about that?” He said
“It’s fine, it’s not the first time I have been insulted like that” I said while facing down
I was quiet after Mary left, I was a bit disturbed with her words and I vowed to make her swallow her words some day.
“Let’s get you home” Justine said
I stood up without saying anything, then Justine took my purse and we walked out.
“Nice wife you have there?” some man said when we were going out
“Thank you sir” Justine replied
I was quiet the wh0le way home, first what was Mary doing in a Hotel because I saw her with a man before she came to our table. Could she be cheating on Dan? I debated upon myself. But why would he cheat on him when he adored her? Anyway whatever happens to those people is none of my business I brushed the thoughts of my mind and slept.
“Babe we are home?” Justine said when he opened my car door
I opened my eyes and Justine helped me out of the car, we made our way in,side his house, I sat on my favorite couches then he joined me after making me my lemon water.
“Whats on your mind?” He asked while car-ssing my belly
“Nothing much” I answered
“So tell me, why don’t you have a woman in your life, you are handsome you have money, you are loving, I mean you have everything a woman would want in a man” I asked
So you think I am handsome” he asked giggling
“Oh please don’t flatter yourself” I smiled
“Well I have a woman in my life” he said while staring at me
“You do?” I asked shocked and my heart immediately started beating fast
“Yes I have you” he said
“Oh” I breathed out before I could say anything
“Let me tell you what happened with the last woman I was with” he said
“Okay I am all ears” I said gazing at him
He looked at me before he started speaking, we were now staring at each other deeply, he moved closer to me as if to k-ss me then I parted my l-ips a bit just so to get ready for the k-ss, were so close i could inhale the scent of his cologne and for a moment I forgot where I was and who I was with. He took his time looking at me and slowly touching my face with his middle finger. I closed my eyes waiting to see if he would k-ss me or not.
