It's been months since I've been pregnant and I'm pretty sure that soon I'll be giving birth.Altleast I'm finally healing and trying to pick myself up again ,it has been tough and rough months for me after I kidnapped Zingisa and found out the truth about the history of the war between us and the Xhosa Kingdom.And I must say that I have been taking good care of the Mhlongo family and they really love me here ,I do think about Zingisa here and there but not more often ,I guess I really love him but atleast I'm ready to let go and focus on the kids ,I'm glad he gave me those little bundle of joys people and I thank him for that.Me and Mandisa get along just fine ,we are friends I must say ,she really gets me and she knows everything about me and I know everything about her too but I never told her that I still love Zingisa obviously and I can't wait to see her since she will be visiting us today ,I just can't wait to meet her plus she told me that she will bring me a lot of apples just to feed my cravings ,the twins must really love apples ,I crave them every now and then ,my stomach is really heavy people ,I'm sure the twins are just fat babies people ,my stomach is too big ,I spend the whole day sleeping and resting on the bed ,my feet are swollen and I'm so fat and ugly people ,my nose got big and my face is just too big people and it's not even funny anymore ,even Menzi calls me stufuza and I hate that nickname.
Menzi:Yazi kwamele ngihambe namuhla kepha angifuni ukukushiya wedwa kulesimo okuso s'thandwa sam(You know I have to leave today but I don't want to leave you at this situation that you're in)
Mbali:(Gave him a puzzled face)Uyahamba?uhamba uyaphi manje Menzi?(You're leaving?where are you going Menzi?)
Menzi:I have to go camping with the guys and get trained for wars ,I told you this last month babe
Mbali:Hayi Menzi angeke ukhone ukuhamba ,ngizogezwa wubani manje mina?phela mina lesisu siyang'sinda Menzi futhi angikhoni ukuzenzela lutho(No Menzi you can't leave ,who will give me a bath?remember this tummy is too heavy Menzi and I can't do anything by myself)
Menzi:Ngiyazi kepha Mbali naloku kubalulekile ,uyazi ukuthi kdala ngikufuna loku(I know Mbali but this is important too ,you know that I always wanted this to happen)
Mbali:Ngiyazi kepha Menzi ngiyakudinga nje(I know but Menzi I need you)
Menzi:Bazokunakekela la ekhaya nje Mbali(My family will take of you Mbali though)
Mbali:Ngiyazi kepha Menzi kuhlukile(I know but it's different Menzi)
Menzi:Mbali ngiyak'cela ,angifuni ukuphikisana nawe ngaloku(Mbali please ,I don't want us to argue about this)
Mbali:Kulungile Menzi ,uzobuya nini?(It's fine Menzi ,when will you come back?)
Menzi:Emuva kwamaviki amabili(After two weeks)
Mbali:Iskhathi esingaka Menzi ,kanti nifundani engaka le?!(That's too many days Menzi ,what are you learning there that takes so much time?!)
Menzi:Mbali sincane kabi lesos'khathi hawu(That's a short period of time Mbali geez)
Mbali:Ayikho nje leyonto kepha kulungile ungahamba(There's no such thing but it's okay you can leave)
Menzi:Ngiyabonga s'thandwa sam(Thank you my love)
Mbali:Uhamba nini?(When are you leaving?)
Menzi:Emini s'thandwa sam(In the afternoon my love)
Mbali:Mhhhh
Menzi:Ngizobuya nje(I'll be back though)
Mbali:Mhhhh Menzi ,ngicela ungenzele ukudla ngilambile(Mhhhh Menzi ,please make me something to eat I'm starving)
Menzi:Hayi Mbali uyahlupha(You're very annoying Mbali you know)
Mbali:Ngiyazi(I know)
He then laughed and went to make me food.I really need Menzi people ,I'm about to give birth and he's leaving ,arghhh it's sucks.I felt a sharp pain in my belly and it is painful and I was unable to breathe properly ,I was breathing heavily and my voice couldn't come out properly ,I tried calling Menzi but my voice was just failing me ,I was even sweating people and it felt like I peed myself ,I was wet ,which means my water broke ,I even felt nauseous and weak ,it is painful and I think I'm ready to give birth ,why isn't Menzi back by now ,I think I'll collapse ,someone luckily heard me and got inside the hut and it was Hlelo.
Hlelo:Mbali ukahle?!(Are you okay Mbali?!)
Mbali:Ahhhh biza uMenzi.....iy'gane!!(Ahhhh call Menzi .....the babies!!!)
She then started shouting Menzi's name and her mother too ,she would've called his father too but he wasn't there.
Menzi:(Held my hand)Mbali Yini inkinga?!(Mbali what's the problem?!)
Ma:Uyateta uMbali!(Mbali is giving birth!!)
I was just groaning in pain and crying ,it hurts people can someone make it stop.Menzi's mother assisted me with giving birth.
Ma:Zama ukuhlisa umoya sisi!!(Try calming down my child!!)
Mbali:Ang.....Ahhhh....angikhoni ma!!(I cant........ahhh......I can't Ma!!)
Ma:Breathe in and out ,and try squeezing Menzi's hand it might help
I did so and it didn't help ,it made me more frustrated.It hurts people!.
Ma:In a count of 3 ,push okay?
I just nodded
Ma:1...2....3
Mbali:Ahhhhhhhh
This isn't working people ,I'm sweating and frustrated ,I'm in pain here and I'm never having babies again ,this is so painful and unbearable.
Ma:You're doing an amazing job ,1....2....3
I did push and the baby popped out ,omg I did it ,one down and one more to go ,I breathed in and out and pushed again and the baby popped out.I did a good job people but it hurts ,their cries are so soothing ,I'm a mother people but geez I'm so tired ,I'd use a good nap right now.But why does it still painful ,like why does it feel I have to push more?!
Ma:Mbali!you have to push one more time
Mbali:What?!why?!and why does it still hurt....ahhhhh?!
Ma:1...2...3
Mbali:Ahhhhhhhh
And I did that again and there was another baby popping out ,what the hell?!I gave birth to 3 kids?!I'm having triplets ,okay this is a curse.I was so dizzy.
Menzi:Wenze umsebenzi omuhle s'thandwa sam (You did an amazing job my love)
Mbali:(Yawned)Thank.....thank you
He then kissed my forehead and MaMhlongo went to give the babies a bath and I too had to bath.How is it possible that I had triplets ,I thought I'll be having twins ,how am I supposed to take care of 3 babies by myself.MaMhlongo and Hlelo came back with the babies and all I need is a good long nap people ,I'm tired and I have a lot in my mind.Zingisa fucked me and left me with 3 babies people ,no this is karma if it's not a curse.
MaMhlongo:(Handed me the baby)Nayi inkosana yakho mntanam ,wuye kphela owumfana(Here's your prince my child ,he's the only boy)
Mbali:(Smiled)Muhle ,kuzoba wuZamani(He's handsome ,he'll be Zamani)
I after I named him ,Menzi took him and MaMhlongo gave me another baby ,she is a girl.
Mbali:(Smiled)Inkosazana yam ,kuzoba wuZamahle(My princess ,she'll be Zamahle)
And then Hlelo took her and MaMhlongo gave me another baby ,she was a girl too and she looked fat ,she's my chubby princess.
Mbali:(Smiled)Kuzoba wuZama(She'll be Zama)
And the MaMhlongo took her
Menzi:(Kissed my forehead)Mahle lawomagama s'thandwa sam(Cute baby names you gave them my love)
Mbali:Ngiyabonga Menzi(Thank you Menzi)
MaMhlongo:Ubukeka ukhathele Mbali ,ibe ulala thina sizonakekela izingane(You look really tired Mbali ,take a nap then we will take good care of the triplets)
Mbali:Ngiyabonga ma(Thank you Ma)
And they took the babies and left
Mbali:I gave birth to 3 beautiful babies ,I hope you see them and just be grateful ,you'd make a good father ,I wish they could have your eyes ,thank you for the gifts and your daughter have 3 siblings now ,I love you
After saying that I took my nap ,I needed it.
