PRES & ZIZO

" You've been holding the pic for hours now, are you okay?"

" I'm not sure, I'm just so overwhelmed by the reality of this. I'm carrying four babies and I'm going to be carrying them for the next 5 months."

" I'm going to be there by your side everyday for the next five months. Doing everything that you need and if I have to miss a few games for you guys, I will."

Her words brought me comfort but I knew that I did not want her to miss out on games because of us. Especially since we were going to need every cent.

" I appreciate that but there's no need for you to miss games, we'll need every cent we can get because I doubt that I will be able to do my job throughout my pregnancy."

" Yeah I was thinking that you should start preparing to take leave and hire a full time manager."

" I think I'll start doing that at six months there's no need to rush things plus I plan to work for the next four months at least."

" I'd prefer you start your maternity leave soon. I mean it will be strenuous for to work with four people inside you."

" Well I think I can work for longer, my belly isn't even showing much yet."

" That's because they're not the ideal weight for your gestation but as soon as you start taking care of yourself as the doctor had instructed they will grow bigger."

" Then I'll work till I can't handle it anymore, is that good enough?"

" No. I prefer that you stay home at least from next month. I've never been pregnant but I'm guessing with four on the way it won't be easy to move around."

" I'll manage."

" That's what you think now but when the time comes you'll think different and you taking it easy will be good for the babies too."

That was not what I wanted but I said nothing further because I did not have the energy for an argument. I did not agree but I did not refuse either, I just chose to stay silent. She wrapped her arms around me, caressing my belly.

" You're not mad are you?"

" No but I do wanna to make sure we're financially set for the time I'll be home with the babies and also need for nothing when you're away."

" Do you think I can't provide for my family?"

" It's not about that, it's about us equally taking care of the babies. I can imagine how expensive one baby can be, how about four. I just don't want you to feel burden."

" Impossible. Taking care of my family can never be a burden to me especially when it was I who rushed you into having a baby way before the time you had initially planned to. If I have to mop the gym's floor to make sure y'all are good, that's what I'll do. Now all you have to worry about is giving birth to healthy beautiful babies. Well it's not advisable to worry but you know what I mean."

Now these words had me in tears and all I could do was kiss her. She might not have said it in so many words but she was right, I worry too much and needed to stop it for the sake of having a healthy pregnancy.

" You got us?."

" Baby I got you."

" Thank you for loving me and accidentally giving me more of you. I couldn't have chosen a better partner even if they came with instructions. I'm positive that I'm the luckiest basketball wife ever."

To think I wanted nothing to do with a basketball player when she approached me but here I was happily married, soon to be parents.
