Nomtha: What? I'm Pregnant?
Manqoba:It says you're pregnant Baby I... I don't know what to say
Nomtha:Yes! We're finally having a baby
Manqoba:We should not tell anyone as yet baby
Nomtha: What?No I'm telling them,they thought I cannot conceive but look at me now
Manqoba: MaGatsheni yo-
Nomtha: Don't spoil my night Manqoba,you want to spoil my night and I won't allow you to do that
Manqoba:(sighed) Baby, let's atleast go and see the Doctor then you can tell the whole world
Nomtha:Fine, We're going to see a Doctor tomorrow
Manqoba: Definitely,Come let's get to bed

They got under covers as Manqoba pulled Nomtha to him. He was so confused on how come she is pregnant When about 10 Doctors said her Womb is damaged. They finally fall asleep. Manqoba was woken up by the ringing phone,he opened both his eyes and took his phone accepting the call

Manqoba:The Fuck! It's late what do you want?

Manqoba:(sighed)Ohk Cool
Sthembiso:Sho

He disconnected the call and fall asleep. Nomtha was a bit different yes but you wouldn't say she's pregnant. She gained a bit of weight and She eats more than she did. Thoughts were flowing through his mind like a waterfall which was driving him crazy.  Nomtha woke up the next morning feeling so happy that finally she's going to have a baby. She walked over to the bathroom and took a bath. After that she went back to her bedroom and get dressed before she walked downstairs. She prepared breakfast like she always does.

Nomtha disconnected the call immediately,she didn't want to be upset

Mpume: It's Zolani right?I still think you should tell your husband
Nomtha:No,not now

(At Res)

Hlobisile was laying on top of the bed thinking about what Nicole said this morning. She didn't remember anything from that night. When her Virginity was broken it wasn't painful. Well not until the Morning. She decided to go and see a Doctor maybe Nicole was right.

(At Manqoba's House:Few Hours Later)

Manqoba walked inside his house finding his beautiful wife reading a Book. He smiled before he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Manqoba: MaGatsheni,How are you?

Nomtha:Well what can I say
Manqoba:We should go to the Hospital
Nomtha:(sighed)Yeah right,I forgot about that
Manqoba: Let's go.

Manqoba placed his briefcase on Top of the table before they walked out of the House. They climbed in the car as they drove off heading to the Hospital. When they arrived they were quickly assisted

Doctor:The Test will be ready in few minutes.
Manqoba:Thank you Doctor.
Doctor:You two look cute,you remind me of those days with my wife

They giggled as the Doctor looked at the Results then looked back at both of them.

Doctor:Uhhmmm let's rather do a Scan,I think that's a great idea
Nomtha: Yes.

Nomtha layed gently on top of the bed as they put a cold jel.The Doctor did as it was expected
