in her shoes

chapter 24

It's been three days since I found out I'm pregnant and I'm slowly coming into terms with it the doctor said he will keep me for a few days because my blood pressure is not stable so I'm still in hospital but tomorrow I'm getting discharge and I did talk to my dad about Moving to Bheki's house and he flat out refused saying no daughter of his will be a victim of vat n sat(cohabitation) so I told Bheki and he also doesn't believe in cohabitation and he didn't mean I will be cohabitating with him,so my dad received a letter the same day asking for hand in marriage and they responded but gave the a date for next week and my stubborn ghost didn't like it because it means I have to go home and I won't be moving in as soon as I'm discharged so he sent a letter requesting an earlier meeting I don't know if culturally it's possible to request a date but he did and so today they are meeting. and I'm with Bheki while the negotiations are going on and he is Communicating with his uncle on the phone I know it very wrong for us to be together while the both family are meeting and negotiating our union, but I have a strong willed man so the doctor enters the room because he is doing his rounds and  we're also doing the first scan today to check on the babies although they seem healthy my man is here on my bedside holding my hand.

Doc: morning to my favourite couple so are you ready meet the twins?

Bheki:we are ready but I hope this scan of your won't hurt them.

Me:stop it let the doctor do her job and I know it doesn't hurt we spoke about this be nice.

Bheki: I am nice.what did I do this time?.

Me:I'm the pregnant one but you are the hormonal one can't believe this,you are more moody and cranky and you have all the weird cravings and you are driving me crazy by the second.

Doc: don't be too hard on him mommy this things are normal and don't you think you are very lucky he gets to deal with the bad side of pregnancy while you get the good side.

Me:I'm not happy about that doc he is a pain when he is normal imagen dealing with a hormonal him not nice at all.

Bhe:well doctor we are ready please continue. He says bored he can be so rude sometimes the doctor squirts the cold gel on my flat stomach and you wonder why I didn't know I was pregnant because my stamach is so flat,back to the scan we are both listen looking at screen and we hear the loud sound of the heart beat it's two strong hearts.

Doc:I'm sure you already hear by the sound of that the hearts are strong,she says pointing at the screen."this is the spine and head and ten fingers and ten toes each both looking healthy but the other twin is a little under weight  but that not too bad we will monitor him and,oh my I gave away the gender I'm so sorry it was an innocent mistake" 

Me:it okay doctor I could already tell the genders of the babies. I'm a doctor and you don't have to worry because I would have let it slip too. And she sighed in relief but I know this monster that is Ghost is not going to let it go so I tighten my hand on him and he squeezing back and I'm feeling pain but it's nothing I can't take so I squeeze back if he squeezed back I'm going to shoot him because he is trying my patience but he doesn't so I turn to look at the doctor

Bhe:I don't like working with incompetent people and this here is how you operate then I might as well find a new doctor because you might just let it slide that we are having a baby no I'm calling my assistant to find me another doctor you are not it for us.

He says moving away talking on the phone and I look at the poor doctor and my hand that is in pain this man was trying to break my hand ass.

Me: don't mind him he is just cranky but you are lucky you found him on a good day.

Doc:so if this is a good day then I hate to see his bad days and it was really a mistake and I take my oath very seriously and I would not do that but
