Chapter 7
Day 15
" I am pregnant"
I said to him and he looked confused probably because I was blurting this out during sex.
Me" Can we pause"
Zuko" What?"
Me" Pause the sex, I can't concentrate on this and I want to satisfy you but I have to talk"
Zuko" Okay, what's wrong?"
Me" I am pregnant"
Zuko" As in having a baby?"
I nodded
"Wait, mine?"
I nodded
Zuko" Are you being serious?"
Me" Way too early to tell, could be a false positive but yes I am pregnant"
Zuko" Why did you buy a pregnancy test?"
" Don't get me wrong, I don't know if you are happy right now because you are crying"
Me" Wait"
I wiped my tears then covered myself with a blanket.
" I bought those home testing kits after our trip to Jo'burg, we never used protection. The pregnancy test I just bought because I wasn't sure if you pulled out"
Zuko" Wait you bought a testing kit because you thought I was hiv positive?"
Me" The fact that it didn't cross your mind to check if I had an STDs scares me. We didn't know each other, I however didn't use any of those tests until my meeting with Samke"
Zuko" Samke said I am HIV positive?"
Me" No, she said I was just a symptom and that you are dying"
" I couldn't tell you about the baby because I was afraid you'd be angry at me"
Zuko" What did she say?"
Me" I want to hear it from you"
Zuko" I am not ready"
Me" Okay"
Zuko" You are not some fucken symptom! You are mine. And I love you. I love that we are about to have a baby"
Me" Should I be scared?"
Zuko" I don't know baby"
" I am, and I am sorry that you heard it from her and not me. That's the part that hurts me more than anything."
Me" Me too"
"Can you hold me?"
Zuko" If I do die, promise me something?"
" Always remember that you were the love of my life"

Day 16 and 17
We stayed an entire week in Coffee Bay and it was amazing. He told his older brother about me and we decided to drive to East London to see his brother. I loved that him and his wife questioned Zuko about Samke, they advised him not to parade me around until his divorce was settled and he shut that down fast. He told them that him and Samke were fine, everything else didn't matter because Samke knew and that's all that mattered. We stayed in East London for a day, then we went to visit my mother and sister. It started off cold when I told her who Zuko was until I told her we are having a baby. Then my mother was suddenly happy. We arrived in PE around 9pm and Zuko passed out immediately. I edited our vacation reel, I made added the video of Zuko kissing my stomach and saying made sure I made it audibles when he says "I am your father". I tagged him and uploaded the video on his Instagram too, because he said I should. It wasn't even 5 minutes when my phone rang it was Ezile.
"Bitch!!! Are you back???"
I giggled
Me" Yea"
Ezile" We are meeting for breakfast tomorrow. I need you to explain because your Instagram content??? Yhoo! Tomorrow at 9 am at the usual place"
Busi" Congratulations!!!"
Me" Thanks B, I'll see y'all tomorrow"
Ezile" I am so happy and angry at you"
Me" Decide on your emotions and we will talk tomorrow"
Day 18
" What should I wear"
I asked Zuko and he stared at me, he has been on the phone all morning answering questions about my video. Was he angry? No, because he knew I would do it.
Zuko" Babe, I am still replying to comments, and my mother wants to see me"
Me" Good luck with that"
Zuko" Ma'am? We are going together"
Me" No thank you, I can't have anyone else call me a whore again. Plus your parents know me as your domestic, andinayo tuu energy yabo because they probably think we were having an affair"
Zuko" I need you to come with me because I can't face them alone"
Me" Okay, I'll meet you there. Just send me the address"
Zuko" Thank you"
"Uyaphi khona?"
Me" Meeting the girls and I have a job interview at 2pm"
Zuko" Job? For uthini?"
Me" To work"
Zuko" Didn't you say you want to be a housewife?"
Me" Wife is the keyword"
Zuko" Can we table this discussion? I have a meeting then I'll see you later"
" Wear a dress, you always look amazing in a dress"
He kissed my fore head
Me" Drop me off"
Zuko" Use the car babe"
Me" Thank you"

I arrived at Barn and Barrel, they were already waiting for me.
" Spill!"
Ezile said and I giggled then sat down.
Me" I am pregnant and good morning"
Busi" Babe!! We drank so much alcohol on Ezile's birthday"
Ezile" Voestek wena hahaha stop calling me that"
Me" Hahaha can we order?"
We got our waitress ordered everything then chatted.
Busi" So Samke uthule?"
Me" I don't know but Zuko sent her a cease and desist letter, I am worried that want was an amicable divorce is about to go south because of what she told me"
Busi" And Instagram? Wasn't that just mean?"
Me" I was reluctant but he assured me and even this morning him and I spoke about it, he was still happy about it"
We ate, had our tea and carried on chatting.
Ezile" I feel for Samke"
Me" Honestly, me too and so does he but he won't admit it"
Busi" I don't envy you sana lwam"
We asked for the bill.
Me" Ndim lowo"
Ezile" I have to go, we should do this again. I love y'all"
Busi" I am out too, I have to be at work"
Me" Shit, I just realized I have nothing to do until Zuko returns"
Ezile" Hahaha I love how you are not even hiding how much you love this"
Me" Bye ladies"

I changed into a black polka dot cami dress and black crisscross thong sandals. I did my natural look make up, decided on the the curly wig.
" I am ready"
I said to Zuko and he smiled at me, he looked proud.
Zuko" You look perfect"
Me" Thank you babe"
Zuko" Are you wearing undies?"
Me" Nope, I wanted a quickie before we left"
Zuko" I am marrying you!"
I lifted up my dress, after breakfast with the girls I went to get a full Brazilian wax, nails and toes done. I noticed something from Samke (I know it's weird) but he loves it when your hair and nails are done. He loves taking care of his woman, so I did that got myself pampered because that's what he wants for me.
" I am going to fuck you. I hope you don't mind"
#
" I love you. If anything happens, we leave"
He said then kissed my hand before knocking. A little girl opened, I assumed it was his sister because they looked alike.
" Hey Monkey"
He said before giving her a hug.
Zuko" This is my niece Alukho"
Me" Hello, I am Azange"
Zuko" Azange and Alukho, we just need a Akekho"
Me" Shut up hahaha please stop"
We went inside, his wedding photo caught my eyes. And he noticed, he squeezed my hand and I smiled because without fail Zuko will assure me.
Zuko" Are you ready?"
Me" Yep, let's go"
