contract - Season 1 - Episode 66

Silence hung in the air, so heavily. Abena
was only focused on Tobi’s face, his
reaction, and most importantly, his answer.
Silence stretched for a while, that Abena
wanted to cry. And she would have, if Tobi
didn’t suddenly have a wide grin on his face.
“The babies are fine Abena.”
She let out a breath of relief, and wiped a
traitor tear with the back of her hand. He
pulled her into a hug, and she laughed.
“Oh God you scared me!” She said.
“I scared you? You scared the hell out of
me. I thought I lost you.” He whispered into
her ear but Abena couldn’t shake off the
feeling that he was talking to his children,
and not her.
“You should be facing your children, not
me.” She whispered back.

“Why?”
“Well, you were scared of loosing your
children. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have
overreacted and fainted or something. I
already had a feeling it was her, so I don’t
really know why I-”
“Abena! I care about you. Isn’t it obvious?
What more do you want me to do to show
that I care?” He asked, releasing her from
the hug and looking at her.
“I know you only care, not because you love
me, but because you love what is in me.”
She said and turned away, afraid of what he
was going to say, how he was going to
reject her.

He hushed her and pulled her to him so they
was no space in between, and placed his
lips on hers. He pulled away and looked at
her, a whirlwind of emotions in his eyes, and
then spoke again.
“At first, I only cared about the baby, not
you. But now I want you. Because I’ve fallen
in love with all of you. It’s no longer my
baby; it’s now our baby.”
Then she pulled him back to her, to finish
what he started.

Their lips moved in sync against each other,
and Abena held him by his neck, trying to
stay in place. She got tired of her
uncomfortable position, so she groaned and
lay down properly, pulling him with her. He
smiled against her lips, and held her by her
waist, hovering over her.
They finally pulled away from each other,
and he grinned at her widely.
“So? How amazing of a kisser am I?” He
teased.

“Tobi!” She laughed.
“You have no idea how hard I’m falling for
you. C’mon. Let me show you again.” He
whispered against her lips and was about to
press his lips against hers when someone
cleared his throat in the room.
“You guys seem to have forgotten that
we’re still here.” Joseph said, referring to
him and Dera, and having a mischievous
smile plastered across his face.
“Pay up. You owe me 10k.” He turned to
Dera.

“You guys bet? On us?” Tobi asked, a look
of surprise on his face.
“Well she thought you would be too much of
a snob and an idiot to admit your feelings,
but I thought you would eventually break.”
Joseph shrugged. “And as I always say, love
triumphs over all things.”
“I’ve never heard you say that.” Tobi lifted
an eyebrow.

“Shut up. You’re ruining my moment of
amazing-ess.” Joseph replied and Dera just
rolled her eyes.
“I’ll be right back. Let me call the doctor.”
Tobi said, and gave her a peck on the lips
before leaving the room.
Joseph wheeled himself towards Abena, still
smiling. “So, future sister in law. How are
my god children?”
