Beginning somewhere

Chapter 17

Mutei POV

I was so stressed , how do I tell Brian that I am pregnant.
"Hey what's up? Were you crying? Come here baby girl ."
He hugged me and I just broke down. "I am pregnant Brian , I just did a test and it is positive and my stomach has become big , I even have stretch marks. I am so young I haven't even done my attachment I don't know what to do but I had to tell you..."
I rambled on but stopped when I realized he is no longer hugging me.
He was shocked but at least didn't deny it. He said we shall go through it together. We went to the clinic outside the campus and we confirmed yes am pregnant.
I called Mwende that night and told her what he said. Life went on as usual, I started check ups but when the bump became huge I stopped going to the church services, only classes and back to my room.
After final exam I went to my attachment, I didn't not tell my parents am pregnant. After attachment I went home one week I told my mom but not dad, I was scared he would banish me.
When we resumed Brian was supportive but nobody knew I was pregnant for him.

In our final year second semester after doing our mid semester CAT we were having lunch with Mwende in my room when my water broke. Mwende called Brian and told him am going to labor. She helped me into clean clothes and carried my hospital bag. We went into a taxi to the clinic, Brian came dis the paperwork and went back to class, I told Mwende to go when it became night time, she promised to come early in the morning and to call her if anything comes up.
I was grateful for her. At around 10 the pain internsified but the doctor said the baby can't come out naturally she has umbilical cord around her neck.
They started preparing me for a C-section. I called Mwende and Brian and told them the development. Mwende started praying for me and almost came to the hospital but I told her not to everything will be okay.
It went well, my baby girl come to the world crying powerfully.
I was put in a ward with my baby. I texted Mwende that I am out and we are ok.
In the morning she came and saw us.
In three days we got out of hospital and my friends came to see me. Brian was helpful, he cooked and washed when Mwende couldn't.
After 1 month I was strong enough, I didn't miss much since Mwende made sure I was all caught up in the studies.
When the baby was 2months old I went to church but Brian could not even be associated with me. It pained me that he was there up ministering, being called man of God while I was being given stingy eyes since I fell and have a baby. It's not fair you see me why not him. It affected me a lot.
It was not fair and that should change, if you are married your husband can carry your baby to church but now it's like I had a baby alone he can't be associated with me.

When the semester was over. We said goodbye and I went home in ukambani while he went to Kalenjin land.
Me with the baby , him as a gentleman, a proud son who finished his degree studies . But me a disappointment who got pregnant while at school.
It was awful but I swallowed for my girl was sooo beautiful not to love her .

.A/N
Will Brian come back for his family?
