Nuaimat was into her three months of pregnancy and hasnt starting showing,
Nuaimat was now deeply inlove with her pregnancy and every now and then she stands by the mirror to observe the small bump in her abdomen and she will spend minutes gently caressing it, she is lucky she is yet to have those early pregnancy sickness and lots of food craving, the only problem she is facing now is the craving to perceive Zaid's scent but she is still angry with him, and guess what she reconciled with Fakirah.
Today Aunt Faduwa, Aunt Yusrah, Aunt Ikhram and grandma Maya will be visiting and so is Zohra and her Husband from Oman,
Nuaimat was happy to be hosting the lots and set to prepare a feast for them,
By the time they arrived in the afternoon everything was set and she was up in her wing dressing up,
It was Zohra's shout that alerted her of their arrival.
Zaid was already downstairs without them and ushering them in with Zishan in his hands,
And when he sighted Nuaimat coming out, he must admit she looked different and it seems like she is even glowing, and he quickly looked away,
" Aunty" called Zishan as he made Zaid let him down and ran to Nuaimat's opened hands , "that's my boy" she said squatting to hug him
"Have you being a good boy" she asked ruffling his hair,
"Uhum" he nodded with a pout,
"Thats my boy, high five" , he gave her,
"Low five" he said and she gave him,
"Double five" they chorused and gave eachother with giggles, she then stood up and set to welcome the rest with smiles without paying the slightest attention to Zaid, but she noticed Zohra was observing her every move,
She led them to the dining table and soon were eating away as they chatter,
"So Nuaimat you look different, What's going on" asked Zohra eying her stomach
"oh you pokenose to much thats what's going on" joked Nuaimat and everyone laughed,
"Am serious" she pressed on ,
"Well good food, happiness and this days i sleep soundly at night" she said, Zaid gave her a look from the corner of her eyes,
Everyone laughed, "funny" said Zohra who didn't find anything funny and Nuaimat shrugged,
After their meal Harees was alone with Zaid out in the garden behind Nuaimat's wing,
While Nuaimat and Zohra up in her room watching them,
"You two have a problem" Harees asked,
"What made you asked" Nuaimat asked Zohra who asked her the same question
"Am not blind you know, i noticed you rarely said two words to eachother through out our meal" said Zohra
"Well that's because we have a problem" said Zaid to Harees who stated something like Zohra's,
"What happened" Zohra asked, Nuaimat regarded her for some seconds
"She has being on birth control pills without telling me" Zaid said sadly,
"Are you nuts, you didn't tell him and you were careless enough to let him see" asked Zohra,
"No i flushed down the pills in my toilet" said Nuaimat
"And i saw the empty pack she probably forgot to dispose" Zaid said,
"And then he found my pregnancy test" Nuaimat said,
