Zweli
Everyone was running up and down assisting grandma and Amani mom and Jasmine and jaya in bringing the baby into the world. I could hear Amani cries from outside the room while I was outside. I wanted to go in but grandma insisted that I don't come in.
Me: Its been hours
Zwakhe: I do not want babies after this experience
Grandpa: Really now?
Zwakhe: Am not good under stress
Zweli: I need to drink something strong.
Lizwe: This reminded me of when I had my kids.
Zwakhe: Phela nina nani hlanya...10 yonke pho
Everyone laughed at him and then just like that we heard a big cry and the tears that I had at the back of my eyes were falling as I ran into the room and found my wife smiling but slowly fading away as I saw the machine pulse dropped.
Me: Please don't
I was now full on crying as my grandma and the ladies were doing everything they could to save save.
Me: give her the baby... show her what she has to live for.
Mom gave me the baby just as the machine showed a flat line as I cried helping her hold the baby.
Me: Come back to me please...
I kept saying that helping her hold the baby and I saw my son hand touch her cheek and a small faint pulse picked up on the machine as her beat got stronger and stronger snd I smiled at my son as he snuggled closer to his mother. He saved her. The first thing he did when he came to this world is save his mother. I hugged them both as I cried tears of relief of having her with us.
Zwakhe: Well....
He wiped tears from his face.
Zwakhe: When you done crying can you borrow me my child please.
Mom: I swear your dad dropped you when you were young.....

5 years later.
Amani
Today is a special day. Our son is turning 5 years have been amazing. His bed growing like a normal human being the past 5 years and have been keeping us on our toes. He is truly a shy kid and has a bond with his father. Sometimes I think Zweli loves him more than I do or maybe that just me being jealous. So we celebrating his life today and have invited everyone over for the party abd of cause Uncle Zwakhe who is married to Alutha and have been beyond happy. Alutha is now a well known designer and her husband is her model for male clothes and she has been making millions. Lumile one of Lizwe sons have been staying with us after Luniko birth and those two have been inseparable. Dad is one hell of a doting grandfather and mom simply just adores him. As for Luniko his our light. He makes our days worth it and has always been that bubbly boy yet shy at times. Yes the danger is there since he has been kidnapped twice and I can never explain how he got back to us and he has never shared.
Zweli walked by with Luniko on his shoulders and they had matching outfits.
Luniko: Look at us mom.
I smiled looking at them.
Luniko: Aunty Alutha made it for us
Me: You look beautiful and handsome.
Zweli: What about me?
He kissed my cheek.
Me: You have always been my handsome hunk
Zwakhe popped out of nowhere wearing the same outfit as them.
Alutha: Sorry guys he begged me to include him in
Zweli: Are you for real
Zwakhe: Honestly Amani, how is more handsome?
He stood next to Zweli and we both laughed cause on a serious note they look alike.
Me: Ill let Alutha answer that......

The end......
