The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 128

SIBONELO'S POV_

Monday morning I was awake and as now my usual also Hungry. After a shower and getting dressed, I went downstairs texting. "Morning Zim, let me know what time I can send a car maybe before afternoon?" I sent it, sitting down at the table. I haven't yet told my parents. I needed to be sure of my story. Mum will be excited but will definitely want to take over. Dad, I'm not sure about him but he has expressed in the past that he won't be happy if any of us had children outside of marriage. He said this looking at me and I did exactly that. I always find ways to disappoint him shame. Zwe sat down.

Zwe: "Morning baby daddy-"

Sibo: "Can you be quiet? I haven't told your parents."

Zwe: "What are you waiting for?"

Sibo: "We still have the check up. I need time."

Zwe: "Weeeh. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be."

Sibo: "It won't be long." Mnqobi and Khaya came to sit down.

Mnqobi: "My brothers."

Khaya: "Good morning."

Zwe: "I'm going to be an uncle."

Sibo: "Zwelethu!"

Zwe: "I'm excited."

Mnqobi: "Who? Sboni?"

Sibo: "Don't breath a word."

Mnqobi: "Aww!! Sboni!!!"

Sibo: "Shut up!" I hissed. What is wrong with them? They laughed. "This does not leave your mouths, do you hear me? Tata can't find out yet."

Khaya: "Hm..."

Sibo: "Khaya."

Khaya: "I can't lie to a king-"

Sibo: "You're going to learn today, Biyela. Eat your food and be quiet." The helper brought the eggs. "Fuck." I got up walking to the nearest bathroom, throwing up. This can't still be happening. I washed my mouth and flushed before walking back out. "When do these concussion symptoms leave Zwelethu I'm about had enough now."

Zwe: "I don't think that's concussion symptoms, my brother." He chuckled.

Sibo: "What are you on about? You're the one that said that I'll experience some vomiting."

Zwe: "Yeah, but not for this long. It's been the whole weekend for you. Come to think of it, the way you've been eating gave it all away and your attitude, you've been very moody."

Sibo: "What's that have to do with anything?"

Zwe: "You're experiencing the pregnancy symptoms. The cravings, the morning sickness, the mood swings."

Sibo: "Don't. Fucking. Joke." They burst out laughing. This is not happening. "Zwelethu, you're lying. That's not a thing."

Zwe: "You can check it out for yourself." I don't cry. I don't. But this? This was bringing me close.

Sibo: "Sibonelo, I'm a public figure. I can't be vomiting and eating strange things."

Zwe: "I'm not Sibonelo." Even my brain is switching off. Why are they laughing?

Sibo: "Please make it stop."

Zwe: "I don't think I can." Why the urge to cry then? What's that about? "Come sit."

Sibo: "Not with those damn eggs." They almost dropped to the floor, laughing. Zwelethu was lying. He was obviously just scaring me. I went to the lounge, taking my laptop to hop on Google. Imagine lying about something that I can actually prove is a lie? UZwelethu akanawo amahloni. (Zwelethu doesn't have shame.) I searched on the search bar: Do men experience pregnancy symptoms? It even has a name. Sympathetic pregnancy. I'm in hell. There's no reason for this. Why must this happen to me? Surely it doesn't happen to everyone so why choose me?
