Love & Divorce

Chapter 14

Blanche POV:
This had to be the most terrifying experience ever! The doctor requested I provide him with a urine sample in order to ensure that it was save to inject me with what they call a " chill pill" . To all avail I was not able to take the injection as previously discussed. The doctor turned around and ask me a question to which i would normally have the answer to but this time it was different, it was so different because after I realise I do not have the required answer I did not answer at all. I sat there like a small child waiting to be told what to say or how to react to the situation.

The doctor showed me the pregnancy test which had two thick red lines in less than two minutes. I remember his words.

Your pregnant !!Congratulations!!

His smile almost made me sick to my stomach even though I knew he had no part in this whatsoever.

Instead of leaving in cool and calm state I was now in a more fucked position than before, the doctor gave me a full examination and indicted I might be almost six weeks along in my pregnancy.  I was also given vitamins together with other tablets. I barely listened to what the doctor said after the word congratulations.

We drove home in silence thereafter  and as soon as I got to my apartment and was left alone reality began to make its way into my mind and nerve system. I started to undress and took an ice cold bath for the second time in one evening to try and calm my nerves and also it felt like my temperature was above 35 °C.

Firstly my so called boyfriend  cheated on me or almost cheated eish I don't know anymore. He somehow came to apologize for his actions or so i assummed then ge got arrested right infront of my face. The reason I still don't know and a few seconds or hours later I found out I was carrying his child.

How the fuck did all this happen? Just how the fuck?
The father of my child is a jail bird . OMG!!

I still had work tomorrow  and no valid reason to stay absent. I went to bed with an uneasy feeling and fell asleep almost 1 a.m in the morning. My body and mind was beginning  to weigh me down.

"I'm going   to the jail tomorrow " was my last thought before I disappeared into a deep slumber.

Roy -Lee POV:

Morning has finally arrived , thank God!. Most of my cell mates with whom I shared the cell with was released first thing , but I wasn't one of those lucky ones who get to go home the very next morning. I was so damn hungry and I couldn't  remember the last time I ate a decent meal. The morning had silently pasted and I was finally questioned by an officer . It was more of an intimadation then questioning because he already had all his evidence ready including eye witnesses  and clear text messages indicating this was a crime of passion and anything I say will just cause more damage, so I decided to remain silent and reframed from talking to anyone. I was given permission to phone one person and only one person.

Instead of using the call to phone home to inform my parents or an attorney  I decide to call Blanche.... no answer!

The telephone receiver was taken away from me and it was said I had already used my phone call therefore I was taken back to the cell awaiting someone to come rescue me. The only person who knew I was here was Blanche and Tay. I knew sure as hell Tay wouldnt do me any favours by informing anyone im here in a fucken jail cell locked up like the true criminal that i am.

For the first time while being in this shitty hole my mind drifted to a year ago when I was still a high school student trying to score maximum points for the university I wanted to attend. Back in high school I had a girlfriend Catherine and on the night of our matric dance I decided to fuck her best friend Shirley out of lust it surely wasnt love but nevertheless a child was born nine months later. Way back then my parents made me promise never to see the child or make contact if I intended to have a bright future.

Until today I have kept the promise to my parents and decided to continue my life as if I had no child at all, I met another girl Blance who made me feel safe and secure but not safe enough to tell her the truth about the existance of a child, my child.

His name is Graven and soon he will be turning one year old. I was an anbsent father and I never bothered to ask questions about my son or even went to the hospital the times I knew he was sick or not doing so great. Instead I continued to ignore his existance. I heard through  gossip Shirley had to give up her plans to study because she now had a bigger responsibility to take care of, our son.  She also started to work at a local supermarket to support the needs of my son, I made no contribution whatsoever.

I sometimes loggend onto social media platforms to see photos of the little guy , most of the times it was out of guilt.

Now im in this jail cell when my son doesn't even know he had a father who is very much alive and I fully intended to become apart of his life as soon as I make it out of this shit hole of a place.

Dammit how could I let so much time pass before I finally woke up to the reality of having a responsibility towards my son.
