The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 106

MTHUNZI'S POV

I'd had an off day this Saturday because Nkosi was busy with a ceremony at the palace and they wouldn't be leaving until Sunday morning. I took Busi to the hospital to get her blood results. Zwe had offered to check her and did blood tests a week and a half ago. We made our way there during the afternoon.

Mthunzi: "How are you feeling?" I drove while she sat in the passenger seat, staring out of the window. Alot of the time, Busi was quiet. In our first months of dating this scared me because I thought she was upset. She just had her days of silence where she stared out of the window day dreaming or listening to music in the dark. She enjoyed her peace.

Busi: "Good. I feel so much better. I thought stopping the vitamins would give me less energy but they didn't. I'm still as active."

Mthunzi: "Do you think you'll go back to using vitamins then?"

Busi: "Probably but only recommended by Zwe. He seemed really knowledgeable when he took my blood tests. It's clear my previous doctor didn't know what he was doing."

Mthunzi: "Hm. That's good. Zwe is a great doctor. And the pill? How is it treating you? Have you felt any changes?"

Busi: "Not at all. I think I'm getting the hang of it now. Thank you baby for organizing the schedule and the alarm clocks all around me. I didn't even know you could have a timer alarm on your key chain." She giggled.

Mthunzi: "It's good technology. So, does that mean we can stop using condoms now?"

Busi: "Yes love. Dr Ngayi said to give it about two weeks to get into my system and then we should be fine. But for extra precautions, we should double protect on my ovulation week by using a condom or abstain."

Mthunzi: "Oh, Okay. Love, what would you do if a mistake happened and you got pregnant? Accidentally of course. Would you keep it?" She laughed.

Busi: "Don't worry baby, accident won't happen because we're being very safe."

Mthunzi: "Just in case, it does. What would you do?"

Busi: "I don't know. It's very uncomfortable to think about but it is a very tiny possibility. I would be horrified. So much so, I don't think my brain can wrap around what I would actually do." She looked at her shaking hands.

Mthunzi: "Why is that?"

Busi: "I think maybe it's because, it's something that I know I wouldn't enjoy. It would be extremely upsetting. And it would hurt. It would hurt because I know you would want me to keep it but I wouldn't know how to love it. I wouldn't want to participate. So it would be forcing me to do something I don't want to do, for the rest of my life."

Mthunzi: "It would get better though, right?"

Busi: "No it wouldn't. This was not an easy decision for me to make Mthunzi. Why do you think I've been in therapy for almost ten years now? It's not going away. The decision is still the same."

Mthunzi: "I hear you love." We arrived at the hospital. Mothers always fall in love with their children. I think it's the most special bond having someone grow inside of you. It would be uncomfortable for Busi but accepting it will come gradually. More so, when she sees my commitment in being a present partner and father. I'll take my child to work if I have to, I don't mind. All she has to do is give me 9 months of nurturing them inside her and I'll take over from there. We walked in the hospital, Zwe was in the reception area, reading a file.

Mthunzi: "Isn't it your day off?"

Zwe: "My brother ditched me to go hang out with his foster kids, I bore him now." We chuckled.
