Alutha
I don't know how the words came out of my mouth but I said yes and he jumped me kissing me with so much passion making me blush. He than stood on the balcony and screamed " am fucken taken ladies" everyone in the house started laughing and filling our the balcony wishing us well and hugging me.

Amani
I heard Zwakhe voice and I knew something big just happened when he busted in the room smiling with Alutha behind her. He jumped on the bed and screamed to my stomach " you uncle getting married ntwana" my baby kicked and I smiled as Alutha looked at me a little scared.

Alutha
Amani looked like a ghost sitting on that bed as fragile as a feather and a huge belly. I didn't know what to do or say but stand there.
Amani: Can you give us a moment please.
The brothers left and it was just us two, i walked closer to her as she trued to get to a sitting position so I helped her a bit.
Amani: Pass me the mirror
Me: Uhm
Words failed me
Amani: I know am a mess and I know the guys been lying about it. Pass me the mirror. I walked to the bathroom to fetch it and came back giving it to her.

Amani
I looked at how horrific i looked. My afro made my head look bigger and my eyes were deep into my skull. I looked like a hanger for my skin. I gave her the mirror and she went and placed it away and sat next to me wiping tears.
Alutha: do you need anything else
Me: Did he tell you the truth?
Alutha: No

Alutha
I felt my heart pounding and I held her hand.
Amani: We not normal people
Me: Iv kind of noticed that now. I saw you earlier remember and you were not this huge
Amani: Does it scares you?
Me: Abit
Amani: Good, that means you care for him.
She shifted and looked at me.
Amani: If anything happens to me. Promise me you will take care of all of them. My husband, zwakhe and the baby
I looked at her and wiped her tear away.
Me: Nothing happening from you.
Amani: Am losing myself, i can feel it.
I held her hand and looked at her.
Me: I just gained a family member and Am most definitely not losing you
Amani: Promise me
She insisted and I saw that meant a lot to her so I nodded.
Amani: Make sure Zweli names him luniko( gods gift). I nodded and she smiled cause talking was becoming to much for her so she closed her eyes and I got up wiping my tears and went out of the room. Zwakhe was there so he held me tight ehile I cried. Zweli patted my shoulder and went into the room.

Zweli
She was really losing energy and she was losing it fast. I know she now 9 months and we waiting for the cervical entrance to open. She opened her eyes when she saw it me and smiled.
Amani: Take out my rings babe they are lose.
I picked her hand and took the out and placed them next to her.
Me: How about I make you something to eat again.
Amani: Am okay
Me: Two bites babe
Amani: Iv asked Alutha to help you in raising him.
Zweli: That not going to happen cause ill have my wife right besides me.
Amani: Name him Luniko( gods gift)
Zweli: You name him that when you see him.
Amani: Let face it... am not strong enough.
Zweli: Am going to make something to eat. I got up leaving him before I cried my eyeballs in front of her. She right, she getting weaker with each hour. But I have hope that she will make it through this birth. She has to for me!!...
