Be My Bride

chapter 2

  I was pregnant!

Finally I was going to be a mother. It was still too early to determine the gender of my baby. I loved the sound of that 'my Baby'

  "Congratulations Mrs Williams."

  " Thanks Tiffany and please call me Kimberly."

  Is it too early to design my baby's room?

Perhaps I was overreacting I needed to know the gender of my baby first.

Two months later

  A loud and urgent knock on my door woke me up from my sleep. Who could be knocking at my door? I wasn't expecting anybody. I was about to open the door when a full wave of nausea hit me. I rushed to the sink to barf out all the contents of my stomach. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair looked like a bird's nest and my cheeks were bloated.

     The knock came again and this time, it was louder. I poured the mouth rinse into my mouth. I didn't want my horrible morning breath to scare the person away. I rushed to open the door but then I stopped myself and peeped through the eye hole but I didn't recognise the person.

I opened the door.

  "Hi."

  "Hello, are you Kimberly William? " The handsome  stranger asked.

  " Yes, how may I help you?" I asked.

  " I'm afraid we'll have to talk Miss William."

  I thought about it for a minute.

   " Okay, come in."

  " May I offer you something to drink?" I asked as i sat down on the couch opposite to him.

  " No thank you." He cleared his throat. " I'm Samuel Andy Blackwood and I believe a mistake was made during your artificial insemination."

  " Whoa, whoa, whoa. How did you know about my artificial insemination? And why does your name sound like my husband's name?"

   " Listen Kimberly, it's come to my understanding that I'm the father of your unborn child. A mistake was made because of the similarities between your husband's name and mine."

  I stared at him with my mouth wide open. Was it possible that this man was  saying the truth? My husband's name was Samuel Blackwood. No, it can't be. He's lying

" Excuse me sir, I don't think you have the right to come into my home and tell me that the child I'm carrying in my womb is yours. Please leave mister, I cannot condone this nonsense."

   " I'm trying to make you understand Miss Kimberly. I didn't plan for it either." He tried to explain" Listen, I suggest you go to the hospital to speak to Doctor Angus. Here's my card. " He dropped the card on the table. "I'll see you around Kimberly." He said and left my house.

I can't believe this. I quickly rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. I got dressed in a comfortable jeans and a red sweatshirt. My baby bump was not visible yet. It was cold outside so I took my jacket and a scarf then, I drove to the hospital. I waited for a while before I was allowed to see Doctor Angus.

  " Hello Miss William."

   " Hi Doctor, I'm here because someone cams to my house claiming to be the father of my child."

  " I'm afraid a mistake was made Miss William, the nurse made a mistake because of the similarities between your husband's name and the man's name. I hope you do forgive us."

  I was enraged.

  " So what you're saying is, this man was right. Well I'm a married woman and I'm expecting another man's child. What do you think that makes me? A certified whore that's what."

  "I just need you to calm down miss William. Your husband isn't alive so it doesn't even matter." The doctor explained but I felt like he was insulting me.

   " Listen Doctor you don't understand. This child was supposed to be the only thing I had left of my husband and right now, you're telling me it belongs to another man? This is outrageous I can sue your hospital for this."

  " Just calm down Miss William, you could abort the child. I mean the pregnancy isn't up to three months. I can schedule an appointment for you. It's either that or you can keep the baby." The doctor said.

  "I don't want to abort the baby. You want to know what that would make me? A murderer that's right, I'm not aborting the baby."

   " Listen Miss William, I suggest you have this child we still have your husband's sperm we can have another artificial insemination done and I promise you, it will be done for free."

I gave up. Nothing could be done.

  " I'll leave now." When I decided to have this baby, I thought my life was going to be perfect but now, it was far from being perfect. Why couldn't I ever be  happy. I left the hospital and drove to my shop.

  " Hi Kimberly" my partner Susie said to me.

  " Hey Susie what's happening."

  " We've got twenty orders to finish and the girls are so slow I just don't know what to do I ...." She looked at me.

   " Are you alright Kim? You look sick."

  " I'm fine. Sorry, it's just that being pregnant is hard. I need to use the bathroom."

   I left her and I went to the bathroom to wash my face and clear my head thinking about my situation. How could another man be the father of my child. I would never dream of cheating on Sam. This is just crazy

  Okay I gotta admit writing a long chapter is hard especially when you're typing with your phone.

Lots of love ❣️❣️❣️

P.s for clarity sake, Kimberly's dead husband will be called Sam. While the father of Kyle will be called Samuel.
