NTOMBI (GIRL)

PART2: CHAPTER10

NOT EDITED!!!

"You are going to get help and that's final." Muzi said with his command voice booming against the four walls of my chambers.

"Muzi I'll be fine. I'm just running a bit of fever." He looked skeptical.

"Have you seen how you look. God's Ntombi you look like a dead version of yourself literally! Your forehead is on fire and you can't even stand up. You know what, if you won't go then I'll bring the herbalist right here in your room. Your call."

This man is stubborn. I know I'm sick and he's panicking for no given reason. I've just been feeling a bit off and it's nothing a good rest won't fix, if I can just close my eyes...

"GUARDS!" I shot my eyes open looking for the threat.

"Go get the herbalist. Now!?" Oh he didn't!

"I said I'm fine though." I shook out of the comfortable bundle I was in. I didn't want to be seen in bed, what will they say if they see their queen in such a state of manner. Hairs in different directions, bad breathe and... you know these days my nose seemed to look bigger than it usually does.

"Ntombi, please just let me do this." I didn't have a choice, so I don't know what he was begging for so suddenly.

Did I mention he sleeps with me every single day (wink). These four walls are always filled with love and warmth these days.

"Ok. I'll be obedient then." I said to him as i ordered him to tidy up as well before I finish freshening up.

Wosh wosh. That's all that could be heard, no one spoke but the sound of the leaves throwing water at me. It's one of her ways of making me feel better she said. So I sat still taking every splash of water her leaves threw at me. I must admit the smell of her leaves and the water made a soothing combination. I just wanted to sleep.

"I sense no ill from your energy. All you need is a good sleep. The energy that I'm getting from you is almost overwhelming. You need to rest my queen."

"See I told you I was fine." I said directly to Muzi including my I told you so look.

"Well yes, the babys' energy is relaxed but like I said before you need to rest."

WHAT!!

"WHAT!" Muzi and I said in unison. "What did you say?"

"Uhm I said she needs to rest..." she but all stuttered. Ohkay I thought she said baby, gosh herbalist.

"No no, before that." Muzi cooed her even more.

"Oh the baby? he should be fine especially if the mother doesn't over-work herself." She said casually. This kind of heart-beat I'm feeling right now should be illegal. Did she say mother and baby. Does that mean I'm pregnant, but how and when?

"I'm going to be mother." She better not say no because my hopes are so high right now.

"Yes. You didn't know. I'm so sorry. I thought you would know by now."

"No no don't apologise. God finally! You can all go now the queen needs her rest." Muzi happily instructed the herbalist including the guards that escorted her to my room. "You heard? I'm going to be a father." Muzi turned to me when everyone left. "Wow, this is amazing all these years of waiting and waiting. I'm so happy right now. Be it a girl or a boy I'm going to love the baby so much."

"Muzi calm down will you. I'm still trying to grasp everything. I can't believe I'm going to be a mother." A small tear made it way down my cheeks.
