Nkosikhona's POV

"Nkosikhona i want to talk to you." says ma. This is weird usually she lures me to do an activity with her then she tells me what's wrong but now she's telling me straight. "Konke kuright ma?" I ask. (Is everything okay?) "Asambe siyengaphandle." I nod and follow her to the backyard. (let's go outside.)

We sit down on the garden chairs and she's looking at me straight in the eye. "What's going on?" I ask. "I think something is wrong with Ona." she answers. "What do you mean mama?" "She looks like she's expecting." "Expecting what?" "How slow can you get mtanami?" (my child.) "I don't understand."

"She is pregnant." she says and i laugh. "Yoh mama you so funny. No she's not." I say. I can't believe my mother would assume that. Surely she would have told me if she is pregnant. "I can see it Nkosikhona and I heard her vomitting earlier on."

"That doesn't mean she's pregnant mama. I don't want a child ngizomyenzani." I say. (what will i do with it.) "I don't know you are the one that's supposed to know seeing as though you made the child." she says and i roll my eyes. "There is no child ma you are seeing your own things." she sighs.

"If you say so but i know what i see and Ona is pregnant which is going to cause even more problems and drama." she says. "There won't be any problems because she isn't pregnant, she would have told me if she was." I say. "Uyabonakala lomntwana." (she's visible.)

"Hai ma that's on you she's fine." I say and she nods. "That's all i wanted to talk about but seeing as though you in denial i will drop the topic." she says. "Okay ma." she stands up and walks away. There is no ways Ona is pregnant she would have spoken to me if she was.

I am not ready to bring a baby into this relationship. Firstly its complicated and secondly i don't know where i stand when it comes to having kids. I am not as sure as i was before when i knew that i didn't want kids. Bringing up the miscarriage just caused conflicting emotions within me.

I wouldn't want to bring a child when i know i am not ready. I go back inside the house and Zenande asks me to play with them. "As long as its not tea parties its fine." I say and she giggles. "Nope babomncane no tea party." That giggle gave it away but i can't turn back because we are already there.

Ona is there too. "You know aunty Ona is supposed to be working." I say as i sit down. "Gogo said when she looks after us and plays with us she's working so technically she's still working." says Zenande and i chuckle. "Where did you learn such a word?" "School duh." "Mxm."

"Uright?" I ask. (are you okay?) I hate how i have to keep things civil and professional when we are in the house. The roles are supposed to be different; she's not supposed to be a helper 'working' but rather my wife playing with my nieces. I do have the intentions to make her mine but that's when I'm single officially.

I love her and she's the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. "Ke siame mme wena." answers Ona. (i'm okay and you.) "Ke siame." I say. (I'm okay.) "You know setswana?" asks Khauhelo. "Yes i do but i don't speak it often." "So i can talk to you in setswana?" I chuckle. "Yes you can if you want too."

"Finally a break from English." she says and we both chuckle. I look at her and i find her starring at me. I've noticed that she's gaining weight and her cheeks are so round but a cute round. I love the weight she's gaining and i don't know if she's aware but i don't care, i love it. "Ooh romance." says Zinhle and i clear my throat.
