I yawn, slowly opening my eyes. I frown when I find myself in my room, lying on my bed. Didn't I fall asleep on the couch? Ona must be back, I stretch before getting out of bed and heading into the bathroom.

I take a quick shower before heading back into my closet to get dressed. The smell of bacon takes over my senses and curiosity gets the best of me, Ona can't cook to save her life. The only thing she can make are chicken wraps but clearly, she's now bad at making those too.

I walk out of my room and follow the smell of the greasy breakfast being cooked, all the way into the kitchen. I walk into the kitchen in anticipation but my heart drops to my ass when my eyes meet with his. "Good morning, Themba lami"

He's cooking in MY kitchen, wearing MY apron in MY apartment for that fact. Moshimane o wa nleka neh.
I place my hands on the side of my hips, tilting my head to the side.

"I-Yoh... O nyaka gore ke hlanye neh? You want me to go to prison for attempted murder. What the hell are you doing here Samkelo?" I almost shout. "Calm down... I made you breakfast, eat then we'll talk" He ignores my question.

"Samkelo it's early and I don't want to fight with you, please leave'' I attempt to walk away from him but he grabs my waist and pulls me back into his arms. "Sit down and eat" He orders.

I comply and sit down on one of the kitchen stools and he plates my food. I slowly eat but stop when the egg's smell reachs my nostrils. I turn to the trash can and puke out everything I've eaten in the past few hours. I feel his hand on my back and I sit up only to let everything out once again.

He hands me a paper towel and I wipe my mouth once I'm done. "Go brush your teeth so we can go to the doctor" He pecks my forehead, I push him away and head into my bathroom, brushing my teeth. I pop a pice of gum into my mouth to get rid of the toothpaste feeling in my mouth.

"What are you still doing here? Please leave before I loose my shit and decide that I'm done being civil with you" I deadpan. "Let's go" He grabs my apartment keys. "I'm not going anywhere with you! Get out!" I try shoving him towards the door.

He holds my wrists, stopping my movement. "I'm not going to do this with you today. There's a chance you might be carrying my baby and I need to make sure of that" He states and I pull away from him.

"I'm not pregnant!" I click my tongue in annoyance. "I'm a hundred percent sure you are" He smirks, pulling me out of the house and towards his car. "You planned this didn't you, you deliberately wanted to get me pregnant!" I slap him across the face.

"Well jokes on you, I am not pregnant" I turn to walk back into my apartment but he tightly grabs my wrist. "Get in the car" He gritts out. "Samke-" He cuts me off. "Get in the fucking car Minentle!"

I quickly get into the car and he slams the door shut before going into the other side. I keep my gaze on the window. He silently drive off, tightly clutching onto the steering wheel.

He parks outside a nearby hospital and gets out, I follow after him, walking past the reception and into the elevator. I stand all the way on the other side, avoiding him.

The elevator dings and he walks out, waiting for me. I take my time until we reach the last door on the floor written, Doctor R.K Mohapi. He opens it without knocking and we both walk in.

"You could've atleast knocked, you know" The doctor says without looking up from her files. "I brought her, take tests and get this over with" He ignores her and pulls me closer to him.

"Will you please excuse us?" She looks up at me. "Rea, this is my woman. I'm not going anywhere" He declines. "I was not asking you, get out of my office" She orders. He huffs, walking out of the office. She gets up, walking towards me.

"Don't worry, I don't bite. I just need to talk to you without him threatening you. I'm Reabetswe by the way" She puts her hand out for a handshake and I shake it. "Minentle... It's nice to meet you"

"Likewise, so how far along are you?" she motions to my belly. "Is that what Samkelo told you? I'm not pregnant, I literally took three tests and they came out negative" I state. "Oh... I thought you were pregnant, Please give me a moment.... Samkelo!" She shouts and he walks in moments later.

"Yini? Are you done?" He frown. "You think just because we're family you can use my time to your expense, I have patients to see" She clicks her tongue in annoyance. "What the hell are you talking about? I wanted you to check if she's pregnant or not. Hurry up, I don't have all day" He says.

"Will you get out then?" She sighs. "I'm not leaving" He settles down on the couch, "Hhayi nawe marn, you're making her uncomfortable. Let the girl breath" She hands me a cup and I head into the bathroom in her office.

I'm now anxiously sitting on the chair waiting for the results. "They're ready" She announces whilst holding a paper. Samkelo's attention snaps to her. She gives him a look before turning to me, she gives me a pitiful look and I sit up straight with a frown.

She stares at the both of us and I look at her with pleading eyes and she clears her throat before reading the paper. The next words she reads are...

"You are not pregnant"
