FATE

62 - Parents!

Author's note:
I apologise for the late update. I wasn't able to publish because I went for my church's camp. I'll try to give a steady update. I will also try to strike a balance between the two families, because for a while now we've been focusing on Lemuel's family. We've missed other characters too.

**************
We walked into the doctors office when the nurse at thed reception called us. Actually we had an appointment with the doctor today. I had already registered for the antenatal, on the day of Chisom's engagement; before we went for the event.

I was so scared.

I felt my palms becoming sweaty, the whole room became so hot even though there was a split unit air conditioners in it. I touched mg forehead anxiously and raised my hand to my eye level, only to find it covered I sweat.

"It's okay baby. Calm down." Lemuel whispered to me, from bending.

I nodded slowly, and breathed deeply before I exhaled.

"I'm trying." I mumbled, pressing my lips together in anxiety.

Lemuel me to him slowly and locked his eyes with mine.

"I know it's not easy. I know, it's telling on you. But remember you're doing this for our princes. I promise to be beside you till the end of this journey of nine months."

I felt tears brimming up in my eye.

"I love you." I muttered with a smile and he kissed my forehead.

Then I heard the sound of someone clearing their throat. I turned my head to the side and it was my doctor.

Not family doctor.

We wanted everything to be kept under the carpet for as long as it could be, that was the best way to handle it; we thought.

So Lemuel brought me to his family doctor.

"We are ready when you are Miss Johnson." Doctor James said, smiling.

I blushed. "I'm ready."

Then he started walking into another room and I followed him, Lemuel behind me.

I saw a bed and some equipments that I had never seen until Mabel's accident.

Feeling reluctant I shyly turned to the doctor.

"Am I supposed to lie on the bed?"

The nurse who was in front of me rolled her eyes and I heard Lemuel chuckle.

Doctor James smiled. "Yes you have to."

I shrugged and gave Lemuel one last glance before I carefully lay on the bed.

"Ma'am you are going to have to lift up your shirt." The nurse who rolled her eyes at me before tells me smiling.

What the fuck?

This people are starting to piss me off...

My face twists into a small frown and I turn to Lemuel who was by my right side.

He had this pleading look on his face and I rolled my eyes.

"Fine!" I huffed, pulling up my shirt slowly with my eyes closed.

I mean I had to be shy because they are seeing my naked stomach for the first time.
