IMPREGNATED BY MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER

chapter 12

**Hey, hey , hey brother please calm down okay, but how sure are you that he's not your child? have you done any DNA test?** I dashed over to keep him away from her.

**Oh you think I'm that fõolish? I know fully well that I'm not the biological father of that child she's carrying. Well, let me just calm down till they've run the DNA test on her. Let me go and inform one of the nurses.** He quickly responded and left.

When he left, we kept staring at each other. I also fled with him to escape shame and embarrassment because I didn't feel comfortable staying down there with her.

One of the nurses came and took a sample of his blood and advised us to wait for them to do the test. As a result, we waited outside. I kept observing Timothy as he kept pounding his legs on the ground and whining like an agitated dog.

**Brother calm down, you are not sure yet. You're acting like you don't even want to have a child at all. What if the child is yours! who knows.** I said to him while trying to calm him down.

**It's alright, let's just hope I'm the one responsible because if I'm the one I'd have agreed.** I said to him.

After a while, one of the nurses quickly came out and was grasping for breath.

**What is it, talk to me. Was the result positive or negative?**
**Negative?** she responded.

My heart quickly jumped out of my chest . I quickly insert both hands in my pocket and kept staring at the nurse.

**The child's DNA test doesn't match with you which automatically implies that you're not the father and I'm truly sorry about that. I think I should be going now.** The nurse quickly handed him the results and left.

I sensed that rage had already taken hold of him and was about to erupt.

**Brother..** I called him.
**Brother! brother!! brother!!!! wait.. where are you going.. Are you going to kîll her?** I called him but he ignored me and angrily went in to meet her.

Alongside him, I also sprinted in.
He entered and began charging at her while yelling, **Who is the father of this child!**

He kept charging at her to the extent that the nurses had to intervene.

The nurses quickly gathered to fend him off as he continued to attack her like a crazed dog searching for prey.

**She's pregnant for crying out loud please be patient, if you keep on attacking her like this, it might result to something worse please let her rest.** the nurses replied as they were escorting him out of the ward.

**Let me not just talk much. It's my house that you will sleep this night isn't it? I'll be there waiting.** he said to her and left.

I watched him as he angrily entered his car, and drove off.

I went over to observe Monica from where she was lying. I saw her crying earnestly.
**Monica........**

Before I could say something to her, the nurse came and told me she needs to rest. That I could possibly see her probably in an hour time."

**Okay please can she stay here till tomorrow morning? I'll come and pick her up by 9am.** I said to her.

**Yeah sure**
**Alright then, see you tomorrow** I said to her as well and left the clinic.

I went straight to meet my brother in his humble abode. I saw him in the sitting room panting and groaning like a lion.

"Brother, what are you doing, do you realize what you did in the hospital today? do you want to kîll her?"

**I don't understand. Something is telling me you have something to do with this. Because I see the way you normally gaze at her anytime you're with her. Could it be that day I sent her out of my house?** he asked peering deeply into my eyes.

**I.., I...,  don't understand. What are you trying to say? that I had something to do with this?"
I objected and quickly got up from where I was sitting.

"If not for me, who knows what you would've done with your wife. Probably you might have killêd her. Who knows!!" I added.

"I'm just saying. Because right now I don't even know who to trust. Just go. I need some time alone. I need to think.** he said as he kept clutching both hands indignantly.
