My heart was still in shambles after seeing the genuine happiness radiating from his face. I can't believe I was responsible for making someone's son this happy right now and that made me at peace. He wouldn't stop kissing my entire face, the hairs of his beard tickling me in the process.

"I can't believe this. You were right it's different when you're actually going through it," he eventually stops his beautiful assault and moves his hands from my face to my belly. I place mine over his giggling. "Nje there's a little Shazi, a little Malinga growing in your womb Sthandwa sam."
"I'm still shocked."
"This calls for a celebration."
"Oh? What do you have in mind Daddy?" I bite on my bottom lip, giving him thee look.

He bursts out in laughter and I'm pretty sure it's because of the name I just dubbed him with. That laugh is music to my ears.

"Daddy?"
"Yes Daddy Bangi."

How am I the one blushing when he's the one I'm trying to...charm. I don't know.

"Well...Sthandwa sam, your husband is thinking a little sweat activity."
"The same sweat activity that got us into this situation?"

He chuckles. "Bingo." A kiss lands on my lips, claiming them in an instant and I don't deny him a response. It gets intense. My breath being taken away a couple of times because of how much I wanted him. When I pull back, I feel bad for being the party pooper. But I wanted that sandwich and I wanted it now.

"You okay?" He asks just as breathless.

I nod. "I'm just hungry."
"Hungry? Are you craving something?"

I giggle. We're at that stage already? It feels weird, honestly.

"Chicken and Mayo... Sandwich."

He smiles and nods before getting up from the bench. I frown. Where is he going? Oh the kitchen. I get up and rush to the kitchen too. "Luckily you made chicken yesterday." He takes the container that indeed contained the chicken I cooked yesterday evening. It was interesting how I knew what I just wanted to eat. I thought I was gonna be confused but I clearly wasn't.

He washes his hands before getting to the chicken. Taking it out of the container and placing it on a clean chopping board. "You know I could've done that myself."
"I want to do this for the two of you. I may not be a cook but I can surely whip up a simple sandwich for my wife," he says. "Sit."

I sigh and make my way to a highchair. Who am I to refuse someone else doing something I didn't force them to do? And it's not like he made me feel incapable of doing it myself cause then we would've had a problem.

"Toasted or just plain fresh bread?"
"Toasted my love." I say to him and he wastes no time getting the bread out of the bread tin and into the toaster. "So...when can we see a doctor?"
"As soon as you want to Sthandwa sam."
"Okay tomorrow it is then, but we have dinner tomorrow. Remember?"
"Dinner at night. I'll cancel all my meetings and then we do it. I'll just have our Doctor know before we actually go to him."

Right. I nod. "Can we not tell anyone yet...just for the sake of safety?"
"Okay...will be hard not to tell my mother though."
"I feel like I should tell Nonkanyiso because she told me as soon as she found out she was pregnant."
"And she just had her baby, she might be able to guide you through most things in our pregnancy."
"So I can tell her?"
"I don't see why not. If you trust her not to tell the whole world before we do then yeah let her know."
