The second time is a charm they say but osas was very unsure of what this means for her now. Getting pregnant again is a mystery in itself especially when it was her second time of having sex
The result of test amused her it is still too early to tell if it's the real deal. Osas tried to convince herself so she doesn't get ahead of herself. She has heard stories of women who got pregnant or thought they were pregnant and it was just something else
Besides getting pregnant for Raphael was not part of the plan, she wanted to have sex with him so she can finally get over her childhood crush, her maddening infatuation but a teeny weeny part of her was hoping that he would fall in love with her and marry her instead and they will live happily ever after and the whole wait would be worth it
After knowing that her pregnancy is the reason she has been feeling sick lately she decided to watch her diets, when she was pregnant with Ivie she had early pregnancy sickness with heavy weight loss and fatigue
Osas didn't even know whether or not she wants to share the news maybe another confirmation will give her ascertain prove beyond reasonable doubts so she planned on getting a validation from the hospital
Then Osas thought of Ivie, she has always been sweet with babies around their neighborhood so having a sibling will make her very happy and she has always been fussing about getting a baby brother or sister to play with.
The only significant difference now that she's pregnant is that her breast is fuller
This pregnancy is going to change a lot of things but there is one thing osas is sure about, she is not doing this alone not this time
At the saloon the next day osas was attending to a customer and her conversation with her friend caught osas attention
They were talking about their other friend's baby mama situation and how she was extorting money from the child's father all in the name of childcare
It is because of things like this that osas has refrained from asking Raphael for money she doesn't want to be tagged as a gold digger
Honestly osas cannot complain about being maltreated coz Raphael and his mother have been so good to her. They literally changed her life and established a thriving business for her
But maybe she is not supposed to hold back especially when she has someone in need. Ever since Joyce left the house angrily osas has not been able to get the guilt out of her mind
If there is a way osas can help her she needs to at least try
Later that day, osas got a call from Raphael which was quite a coincidence coz she was just thinking of how to start up a conversation with him, she was surprised to see his call
"Hello......"
"Hi osas! How are you today"
"Am fine "
"And how's the business?"
Get to the point osas almost said that to him there's definitely a reason for this call"Business is moving gradually "
"Ohhh that's good...." He cleared his throat and osas scoffs of course he didn't call to check up on her
"I actually wanted to talk to you about.....Isabel"
Osas rolled her eyes
"I know the other day at my mom's store I showed up unannounced and you got really upset and am really sorry about that I didn't mean to cause any confusion ""Okay....."
"So I was wondering if I could come by this weekend to pick Ivie"
"Ahhh I thought you and your wife were soliciting for other means"
