4 DAYS LATER---
"We've made preparations for the funeral" Maureen said.
"We shouldn't be crying. God did had a plan for Edmund. He isn't coming back and crying does not make him come back" I reassured them.
"I agree. But that is so how hard for us especially Maureen and Kieona. Crying does not make him come back. We have to accept the fact that it was his time to go" Sarah said.
"I know, Sarah. He was my husband. My one and only bestfriend. This will take some weeks for me to get recovered" Maureen replied.
"Yeah" Kieona sniffed. "Thank you for your help, Monique"
"It's no biggie! Your welcome girl" I smiled and she smiled back.
I've been having contractions a lot and checking up on the baby. She soon delivered which I'm happy for but she's giving me a hard time.
"So Monique you soon give birth! I wonder what you'll name her" Sarah switched the topic. She wanted us all to be happy for once.
"I've been thinking maybe you guys can help me? I don't know yet. I thought I would name her after I give birth but now I don't know"
"We're happy to help you!" Everyone faces light up.
"What about naming her a bible name?"
"Ouuu! That's good"
"Mary?" Keiona said.
"No"
"Miriam?"
"I don't like that name. No offence"
"Phoebe?" Sarah asked.
"No"
"Eve?"
"No"
"Rachel?"
"I actually do like that name. Rachel Mcintosh"
"Who is Mcintosh?" Maureen asked.
"The father's last name"
"Ohh okay" They look like their were in deep thinking.
"Monique?"
"Yes?"
"What made you stay here with Maureen?" I couldn't keep it in for long. She is family to me and she need to know. I look at Maureen and Kieona's faces. They give me a look of reassurance.
"Well" I let out a sigh. "I got involved in a relationship and we went to party. And my boyfriend gave me a drink and the next morning I wake up feeling a burning sensation down there. I started vomiting and having mood swings. Then I decided to take a pregnancy test and It says positive. I find out he raped me. I told him but he didn't want the baby and I did wanted to have an abortion but didn't bother. And I told my father and he kicked me out of the house and I was living on the streets but Maureen saw my despair and took me in. My mother died when I was young"
"It's unfortunate you have to go through all that. I see you're coming from a rough background and that's hurts. But seeing you take care of your baby just make me think of my son"
"Where is your son now?" I asked.
"He's in England, working as a doctor"
"That's amazing!" It was good to open up.
Keiona phone buzz. She said it was time to do her shopping. Sarah went with her. I was gonna go to library which I'm excited about! I need to find a new book to read.
Maureen stayed home. She needed rest. I know I'm pregnant but at least I needed a book to cure my boredness. Keiona could have went to get it but I needed fresh air. I'm tired of being in the house all day.
As I was walking inside the library, I feel someone staring at me. I say a small prayer but still feel the staring. I told the librarian the book that I need and began to walk out when someone blocked my way.
"Who are you?" The face look familiar. I know this person.
He grab my hand softly, bringing me to a chair.
"Sit" I know this voice. I know him.
"I'm sorry" He said and take off his sunglasses. Dad?
