Amani
I looked at Zweli looking at me and am now 8 months pregnant and I can feel the baby weight on my bladder which is a mission going to pee. We were in our room after the nap I took and it was 9pm.
Me: You staring
Zweli: You look beautiful
Me: am exhausted
Zweli: I know just a few more hours babe, you doing very well.
Me: Thank you
Zweli: Well your dad is here. I didn't want to wake you up earlier on.
Me: He can't see me like this. I have drips all over me and not to mention your family hovering
Zweli: His here babe. And he knows
Me: Knows what?
Zweli: your situation
Me: my situation?
I felt my heart pounding hard my father knows, how does one look at they father wants they know that you carrying someone one that can potentially end the world as we know it.
Me: I can't see him. Not like this
He came closer and looked at me.
Zweli: He loves you
Me: I know
Zweli: very much
Me: I know
Zweli: he accepts you as you are
Me: I know
Zweli: so what your problem?
I took a deep breath as his elbow was shoving my rib and I guess Zweli saw that cause he brushed there and he moved. The door opened with dad peaking his head with a smile on his face and he slowly walked in and I couldn't contain the tears from coming.
Dad: You look beautiful.
I cried as he held me with Zweli leaving us together.
Dad: Come on now its been a long day we cant add crying.
Me: I just don't know what to say to you.
Dad: than say nothing and let enjoy the peace together.
He sat on the chair near the bed and prop his feet on my bed and relaxed. I looked at him with so much love and appreciation of the father that he is.
Me: Thank you dad
Dad: For
Me: Being my perfect dad
Dad: And thank you
Me: For?
Dad: Making it easy to be your father.
Me: Thank you. He moved his hand to my belly and my son gave a kick. Dad grinned.
Dad: He likes me
Me: Its just a kick dad
Dad: Give another one to show mommy you love grandpa
He gave a another kick and dad laughed. Iv never seen him so happy in his life and that brought some kind of peace knowing that he accepts us as we are.

Sabelo
It was almost whole day that am here and I really needed to pee so bad and iv been holding it for the better part of the day. I needed to pee so I walked to the other end and found a container and peed. When done I moved to the other end and slept there with and empty tummy and an extreme headache but i closed my eyes praying for him to find her so he can get me out of here.

Alutha
The house was buzzing with people. Iv showered and was wearing someone track pants that Zwakhe got for me and walked to the lounge where my mind was blown away. Everyone seemed to be looking like everyone. I sat as close to Zwakhe as he got up clearing his throat and everyone looked at him.

Zwakhe
" well guys, meet Alutha"
And one by one I introduced her to my family and she smiled on hugging everyone. Than I walked her to the balcony cause am sure she has questions.
Me: You good?
Alutha: You have a loving family
Me: Thank you
Alutha: I really don't know how to ask you this so am just going to ask it out
I looked at her wearing mom track pants and looking amazing.
Me: Go ahead
Alutha: What are you?
I looked at her not expecting that question and it blew me away so I stood there looking at her contemplating if to answer her or lie....
