A one night stand would have been a much more pleasing fate for Zana Bert than someone forcing himself on you at an event planned by Zana herself. Waking up the next morning to find herself alone with evidence of blood from the previous night on th...
Another glorious morning was here again, it was 6:00 am but I was so tired to get out of bed and get ready for the day.These past five months had been exhausting but today I felt the full effect of it. I was just about to get out of bed when I felt everything around me get blurry. I studied myself on the end of the bed till the world around me came into focus again. Slowly I made my way to my bathroom, brushed my teeth and took a shower. With a towel wrapped around me I came out of the bathroom to find Kyle sitting on my bed going through his phone.
"Goodmorning sunshine, how was your night" Kyle asked still concentrating on his phone.
"It was okay, but why are you here" I asked as I headed to my closet to choose an outfit for the day.
"Mrs Amelia called this morning and asked if we could come to her house and start planning for the party since it's just in two weeks". He said as I turned to him.
"Yes yes but you have to go on ahead of me. I have to go see my doctor first then I will catch up with you later" I told him. He nodded as he stood up to get out of my room and go get prepared since he brought an overnight bag.
Thirty minutes later I finished dressing up in a cozy knitted sweater and comfy denim jeans with black boots. I headed downstairs to the kitchen to have a quick breakfast consisting of cereals and an apple since I had to rush to the hospital without an appointment.
"What's the rush dear, you still have time. Let me make you a proper breakfast" Nana said entering the kitchen.
"Thanks Nana but I have to rush to the hospital to see the doctor. Had a dizzy spell this morning and I just want to make sure everything is alright" I smiled as I gave Nana a kiss on the cheek heading towards the door with my bag
A few minutes later I was entering the hospital heading towards Doctor Jamil's office. I knocked and entered as I head a "come in" from inside.
"Zanaaa, how are you doing? And to what do I owe this pleasant visit?" He said as he drew me in for a hug.
"I missed my favorite doctor and decided to come visit." I teased "And I'm good but I had a dizzy spell this morning so I just wanted to come by and check if everything is okay." I breathlessly concluded.
"Well let's get you a quick check up then" Doctor Jamil chipped in.
A little after the check up I sat facing Doctor Jamil as he told me everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about but to take it easy with work and not stress. He prescribed some vitamins for me and soon I was on my way to join Kyle at Mrs Amelia's house.
As I neared the house I couldn't help but be woowed by the landscape and beauty of the house.This was definitely no house but a mansion. I parked my car and walked towards the iron gates. I gave the security guard stationed at the entrance my name and I was soon strutting my way up to the mansion. Before I could even knock, the door was open by Mrs Amelia herself.
"Sorry I'm late Mrs Amelia, had a little problem to take care of" I briefly told her as I followed her inside.
"No problem dear, Kyle as been a delightful company" Amelia smiled sweetly towards me as she lead me to her office where Kyle was already.
We dived right into the business at hand. We discussed details of the party,decorations,location, food and everything necessary. After a while, we finalized almost everything and Mrs Amelia insisted on having the party at the house instead of one of their hotels and also offered to see to the catering and food.
It was well past one pm when we finished with her and she asked us to stay for lunch to which we agreed.
Could this woman get any kinder?? We ate our fill of what Mrs Amelia's cook prepared and it was delicious but it didn't surpass that of my Nana's. Just when Kyle and I were about to leave, my bladder chose that time to make itself known. I had control over my bladder even in my condition over the past months but these days it just wasn't obeying me. I rushed back to Mrs Amelia's office to ask her where the washroom was and she gladly directed me down the hallway to the left. I quickly did my business, washed my hands and exited the washroom. I couldn't help but notice the picture frames on the walls on my way back. How come I didn't notice this at first? My curiosity got the best of me as I started walking down the hallway studying the pictures. All of it was of a bunch of old people until I come to a portrait of Mrs Amelia and her sons. Dear God, the woman was beautiful and so were his sons handsome. The next picture was that of his eldest son considering how the pictures were arranged. Alex Flemming did no justice to the word handsome,it was as if God and the angels above had gone extra lengths to create him. Yeah I know very cliche. But there was something awfully familiar about that face. Tried to recall from where I had seen that face but nothing came up.
After satisfying my curiosity, I went back to Mrs Amelia's office to thank her and bid her goodbye again . "Goodbye dear, and do take care of yourself and that little life inside of you" Mrs Amelia said with a smug smile.
I was beyond shocked I couldn't comment on what she said but just nod and head outside. "How did she know, is it that obvious now, is my tummy growing bigger?". These were the questions that were being tossed around in my head.
Soon enough I reached where Kyle was and he could clearly see the distress on my face.
"What's wrong Zana?"
"She knows I'm pregnant,I mean not many people really know that I'm almost six months pregnant due to my tummy fat but she knows"I said more to myself than to Kyle. He drew me in for a hug which was much needed.
"Kyle check me out, is my tummy getting more bigger other than the normal tummy fat?" I asked a Kyle who was starring at me with a stink eye with his hands crossed over his chest.
We went back to the office and got the rest of the work done which mostly consisted of making calls to ensure everything was in order for other events being planned.
As soon as I got home, I told my Nana of the days happenings as we sat together to eat, how Mrs Amelia figured it out I was pregnant and other stuff.
"You know I'm not ashamed of this pregnancy or baby Nana. I just don't want people to criticize it before it's even born. And I don't want people asking how this pregnancy came about.This precious child is innocent and I want to protect it" I muttered as a single tear slid down my face. "I know baby, I know. We will get through this. Shhhhh" Nana consoled me while rubbing my back.
That night in bed I just couldn't help but cry, cry for myself and my baby. But I was going to love it and protect him or her. I rubbed my belly soothingly until I felt sleep consume me.
