NOMKHOSI 

I've been getting inboxes from my facebook being informed about my mother's arrest, I even asked for proof to confirm if is it really my mother and indeed it was her. How did she get arrested? What did she do? At first i didn't trust this officer but Muzi and his brother's did a background check on her and she was a real a cop.
I've been delaying to go see her for far too long, I decided to face my demons today. I'm anxious and scared at the same time. Muzi Kept rubbing my back to keep me calm and it helped alot. I don't to face this alone so I asked Muzik to accompany me to go see her. Whatever that's got to do with Mawe I do not trust at all. I'm rubbing my hands against each other, it might be the nerves.

I see her coming towards us with her hands and legs cuffed in that orange uniform and my eye's popped out when my eye's landed on her stomach. I try to control my breathing thinking of the human inside me. So she is not only arrested, she is also pregnant!
"Nomkhosi thank you so much for agreeing to come see me." She says sitting down. There was some silence, she sighed sadly. "I know you hate me and i6 don't blame you. I simply called you here to apologize from the depth of my heart. When you left karmer delt with me, I got to feel your pain, hurt and anger. I was suppose to protect you from vultures and evil, I was suppose to be your shield and your protector but I failed you as a mother. I'm pregnant as you can see and I don't even know who's the father between Sipho and his son's. I ended up killing them by feeding them rat poison and it felt good to finally watch them die after everything they did. I know you have met your father and it was selfish of me not being honest with you. I'm happy that I'm paying the price, I may be asking for too much please help me look after your brother or sister. If I die now I will know that there is someone who is taking good care of him or her. Please Nomkhosi even if you do not forgive me but please accept my child." She stops talking and turns to look at Muzik. "This must be you husband?"
"Yebo mah."
"Mkhwenyana I'm sorry we meet under these painful circumstances. Look after them with all you got, be a father that any child could ever wish for and I bless your marriage.
"I don't know, can I atleast think about it." This is just all too much for Nomkhosi. 
"Yes ofcause, I'm not rushing you into making any decision. Thank you again for coming to see mee keep well and I love you." After that 'I love you' I froze a bit not believing that these words slipped out of her mouth.

She stood up and I watched my mother walk away chained with those heavy chains, I felt bad for her but again I don't want her back into my life. What do I do? I'm not even emotional about this.
"Let's go Pinky, will talk about this when we get home." We left the Westville prison and drove straight home. I just need to think this through.
"This is hard, I don't even know what to do babe, I was suppose to vent out to her but I just became mute and now she's asking me for this huge responsibility. What do i do my love?" I have my head on his chest, circling around his chest. Having a  pillow talk with Music is the best.
"What ever decision you take muntu wami I'll glady support you. Don't rush into things take your time." He kisses her messy blond hair. She smiles shyly.
"What will I do without you kodwa?"
"Aysuka let's go prepare you guy's something to eat I know you hungry, you'll find me in the kitchen." He gets off the bed and puts his slippers on and walks out of the room and  sat there thinking to myself.
"God what do I do? The child she's carrying is innocent. I still don't trust her but she's asking for a huge favour. If I open up my heart and accept my little brother or sister won't I be opening a tin of worms? Won't it bring me more pain? If I refuse how will the babe survive in jail? I don't even know my mother's family. I'm about to make a huge decision and I hope this decision will not haunt me forever."

MPHAKAMSENI

She decided to go into labour at 00:00 on the dot. I did say it my wife was carrying little witches, who gives birth at this time. I look at my beautiful wife peacefully sleeping from that hectic delivery. I didn't know that virginas stretched like that I ended up fainting luckily I woke up from the dead when the fourth babe was being delivered and I'm still in traumer. I don't think I'll ever survive from that, I'm never making her pregnant ever again my wife almost died pushing those big heads out.
I look at my penguins, they were so pinkish black and so tiny. Is it me or my eye's are deceiving me they look older than me, maybe I'm hallucinating. I kiss my wife's forehead and I let her rest. Mum and dad will be arriving tomorow as well as Bheki and his wife Khethiwe.
I go home with a happy heart smilling like an idiot, I can't believe I'm a father of six souls. I should open up a sperm factory to produce more spersms. I don't shoot blanks but I shoot multi milky sperms.

SPHESIHLE

Here we are looking at eight pregnancy tests and they all say the same results positive. Deep inside I'm happy but don't want to show, I'm even afarid to look at my BlackBerry and I don't know what's her expression in all this. What if she doesn't want to have a baby with me, what then? I glanced at her and I see her biting her nails in fear and I just knew something is wrong.
"Berry yam what's wrong?" I ask out of concern.
"I'm sad cause you not happy. I guess it was too soon. I should have gone on cont….." I cut her.
"Me not happy? I actually thought you are the one who's not happy. To tell you the truth I'm super excited." I'm not jumping up and down. It's true when they say communication is the best.
"Ngampela?"
"Why wouldn't I be happy when my wife makes me happy and I'm about to be a father because of her. I loved you from the first day I saw you and I still love you now." Indeed relief through her eyes.
"I love you too." She tells me. 

Who would have thought that one day I would be this happy inlove. I love my BlackBerry more than anything and I vow to make her happy.
I saved up alot of money to finally buy the house that belonged to Zelo. I now call it my home and I just love it the way it is. Unless if madam decides to  make changes.
"Zelo gave birth today." I tell her and she beams in excitement.
"We will pass by the hospital and check up on them, I'm so happy for her." The happiness on her face is priceless.
"My father's surname is surely growing." I brush her flat tummy.
"You seem happy about that."
"You wouldn't understand sthandwa sami. Now that you're also expecting I'm sure his happy. I sometimes wish my dad was alive to experience this happiness with us and see the light that's shinning upon us."
"He is watching over us babe." He gives me a tight hug squeezing my lungs out.

MUZIKAYISE 

God I need to put in extra hours at work and work extra time. Father was not lieing when he said he will deal with Zamkhithi. Gcina and Lungelo were informed about the passing of their mother and they seemed not to care at all. Atleast Gcina went to pay his last respect and as for Lungelo it's understandable his very far.

The cleansing was done to chase away the evil spirits, and I demolished the whole house after that and built it from scratch. Today I did the final touches and I'm just waiting for her to take off the blindfold. The perks of having money. This was the fastest renovation ever. I just can't wait to see her expression on her face.
"Ready?" I ask my woman who is freaked out as hell.
"Yes and I will kill you for abusing me."
"Now you can take off the blindfold." She took of the blindfold and gasped looking at this modern double story house infront of her. "Don't tell me you…… you sneaky sly. How did you pull this off? Why didn't you tell me?" Hits my chest playfully.
"It was meant to be a suprise nje muntu wami. Do you like it I'm not sure about the colour though."  I'm more nervous than her
"I don't like it." She tells me and I feel my heart sink. I knew yellow was not the right colour.
"Ow," that's a I managed to say. She turns to look at me and burst into laughter. I got you there! 
 "I love it, why are we still standing outside? Come show me the inside dude." She pulls me by my hand and I sigh in relief.
"You got me there for a second. Yazi wena you almost gave me a heart attack." I say squeezing her hand.
She continues to laugh as she opened the door and got the shock of her life.
"Ow my God I can't wait to have sex in this kitchen it's out of this world. Babe are you sure that this is the same house?" 
"This is my father's house babe." 
"I'm speechless." She continues to take a tour from room to room.

My wife has become a sex addict and her addiction is something else.
I watch her as she scans her eye's around and she paused looking at her big picture in the main bedroom wall. My baby is so overwhelmed and crying. Thank God she's crying tears of joy.
"I'm sorry Pinky for making you cry. But I couldn't resist, this picture holds alot of memories for me. A picture that I took after lasting for 15 minutes only to find out that you are pregnant later."
"What will I do with you, I love our home it's way too better than the way I imagined it." She tells me and my heart sinks.
"I love you." I say looking straight into her eyes 
"I love you too." It's official I'm madly inlove.
