You, me and I

Insert 21

Raya
I stood there looking at her with tears in my eyes.
Me: am the worse employer ever.
Zanela: you been amazing
Me: Iv been helping woman from all over our country but here is the woman who works for me and who needed it the most and I had no idea!
I wiped the tear that escaped my eye
Zanela: working for you was my coping mechanism
I brought her in for the biggest hug ever
Me: Am your friend. We talk these things out and help each other make decisions. You help me 24/7 with my decision making. The least I could do is lend an ear when you need me too
Zanela: You gave me a way out when I need it.
There was a knock on the door. I looked at her.
Me: Look am not only your boss. Am a friend too. We talk things out and sort them out however we see fit okay?
She nodded.
Me: We in this together.
I hugged her than gave her some wipes than walked to the door and opened it and a guy was there.
Him: shooting in 5 minute. I nodded and walked back to have a look in the mirror than he got in pushed the door shut and I watched in fear as he pointed a gun at us.
Him: I don't want to hurt you guys, this is just so you listen to me
Zanela: Ntokozo???
The fear was so real as I looked at him and I saw her with a fresh set of tears rolling down. I knew right that that this was her husband.

Siya
I got home to the set on and my wife not there but my sister talking to the anchor. I looked at the guards and saw the focused on the crew and its members. I walked to her dressing room and slowly opened the door and saw her standing in front of her assistant with a man pointing a gun at her. He hasn't seen me and she looked up and saw me but acted like she doesn't
Raya: We can talk this out you know
Man: All i want is my wife nothing else. I just want my wife. Can you help with that
Raya: she is right here. Just put away the gun and let us talk this through
Me: no more talking
I stood there frozen for a second. I couldn't change to anything since Zanela was here. I couldn't teleport. I had to attack him in my human form. So i moved slowly closer to him and grabbed him from behind but that caught him off guard letting him fire a few times before I could knock him off and have him settled. The room was buzzing with my security team and guns out and I looked to where my wife was to find her on the floor bleeding. I ran to her screaming for everyone to get us help.

Zanela
We were at the hospital and the whole royal household was here. I was standing by the corner as the king was pacing up and down covered in blood and looking like the devil himself. The Queen took 3 bullets for me. I didn't know what to say. The cops have taken my husband and the hospital was covered in cops keeping people and the journalists out. Kazi came and stood next to me and squeezed my hand and I somehow found comfort in that.
Me: if anything happens to her. Ill never be able to forgive myself
Kazi: nothing is going to happen to her
Me: She was covered in blood
I felt my voice crack and i looked at him. He brought me closer for a big hug and in a long tile i felt safe.
Kazi: do not over think it.

Siya
The doctor walked out after hours since we were here. He looked exhausted and he came straight to me.
Doctor: Your highness
Me: please call me Siya
Doctor: You wife is alive
I felt my knees buckle as my father helped me stand.
Mom: But?
He looked at me.
Doctor: The bullet went through and got one of the babies and unfortunately he she could not be saved.
Me: Babies?
Doctor: Your wife was 27 weeks pregnant
Me: Was?
Mom: Oh gosh please not again.
Doctor: she was pregnant with triplets. Due to the amount of blood loss she had we had to take the babies out. And am under the impression that you didn't know she was pregnant
I was loss for words
Me: simple english please. Are my babies okay
Doctor: We have them in the incubator since they are premature 1 week shy from 7 months. They are underweight and we need to keep them in isolation for the next 48 hours . Am not promising anything and I will...
Me: I want to see them.
Doctor: but
Me: Am seeing my wife and kids now!!
That came off stern and he nodded as he walked me over to her room
Doctor: She out of it right now. Ill need to scrub you in so you can go to the room where the twins are
Me: Triplets
He looked at me and took a breath
Doctor: They twins. They were in one sac that how they survived. The egg split letting the one be in her own egg.
Me: If they were in one sac?
Doctor: we would be talking a different story.
He helped me scrub in with my heart pounding I went in the room and found two tiny cubes and I literally didn't see them as they had so many tubes in them.
Doctor: They will be in that for a week. This is to help them breath than after a week we remove it and see if things are good. But the next 48 hours are important
Me: you been a doctor for how long?
Doctor: 10 years
Me: looking at my kids. Will they make it?
Doctor: Anything...
Me: Dont give me that line. A year ago my wife and I didn't know we were pregnant and we lost a child. I lost my wife too and its took me almost 400 days for me to bring her back to me and now i do. Losing these kids will kill her. As it is I have to let her know she lost a daughter. Now look at my kids and tell me. Am I losing my family?
I didn't know i was crying until I felt tears on my cheeks. I quickly wiped them away.
Doctor: they vitals look promising. They stronger and most of they organs are complete. This all is just a precaution.
He placed his hand on my shoulder and left as I stood there looking my kids. Twins. Am a father.m

Raya
I woke up and looked around to find Siya sleeping on the couch with in track pants and I swear he had a small towel on his shoulder that looked like a reciever. I kept quiet and turned to find my father in law standing there.
Me: Baba
He smiled as I whispered than walked over to my bed side pulling a chair. I really don't know why but I felt tears leave me. This man has been more of a father to me than my own father.
Dad: You one strong lady
I smiled as I lifted my had and wiped a tear.

Smanga
I looked at the young lady who has been more of a daughter to me.
Me: how you feeling
Raya: Like a train wreck
I smiled cause I know what she meant.
Me: am happy you back. Its been two weeks of you being on and off the coma
Raya: some days I thought i was dreaming seeing you guys here.
Me: well here we are.
Raya: Thank you
I looked at her confused.
Me: for?
Raya: Taking care of my husband. I know his your child but I also know how he gets.

Siya
I woke up to see my wife up and I jumped off the couch and kissed her forgetting that my father here. Its been a hectic few days with the kids out of ICU and now waiting for them to weigh the recommended weight. But They doing amazingly well.
Raya: You good?
Me: Perfect
Raya: What the receiver for?

Raya
I watched him grin like a retard.
Me: What?
I shifted and he looked at me.
Siya: I want to thank you for the love you have showered onto me.
Me: you scaring me
Siya: You had a cryptic pregnancy
Me: A what?
I touched my tummy in fear. Oh lord please don't tell me iv lost a child again.

Siya
I heard they wheels and I knew my mom had a vision and this is her doing what she saw on her Vision. A few seconds she was pushing in the cart and Raya looked at me.
Me: Raya... I want you to meet Our sons Zwakhe and Zweli the princes of Kwantabazinhle.
The shock on her face as mom picked them up and placed them on the bed.
She looked at them than looked at me and grinned with tears in her arms as she held onto Zweli.
