Prologue
"You are pregnant",the doctors words felt like a sharp knife in my heart. I couldn't even look at my
sister who was sitting and crying hysterically besides me,I felt like the whole world could swallow me and not even spit me out. "How can such a thing happen doctor,we raised her to fear God and we guided her in all the Bible principles" asked my sister.
"Children always let us down no matter how much we try to teach them and they have pressure, I'm sorry". I was so disappointed in myself,how can I let something like this happen?,
"Can I ask how far along I am?" Those are the only words I could utter,the audacity though.
They put me in a room that had a TV screen and I lay on the bed while the nurse applied the gel and after a few seconds I heard it "goo goo goo" it was my babies heartbeat. All of a sudden I was really emotional so I started crying, I guess I felt guilty for being so oblivious to the fact that someone is growing inside my tummy.
My sister's sobs are what brought me back to reality,"we have counselling my sister if you are finding this hard to cope with",offered the nurse to her.
"No,it won't help what has happened has happened". I knew that things were still going to be very difficult because I still had to let her know who is the father,I hope she doesn't kill me.
While I was deep in thought and still very emotional,my sister asked me the question I have been dragging to answer but I knew that sooner or later she would ask,"so Cindy who is the father?".
