Married Single - Season 1 - Episode 54

A month later, we sat by the pool area, talking and laughing. She wore a see through blouse that showed off her skin and some leggings.
I couldn’t stop admiring her as I sat opposite her. I had realised she was a very funny person to be with and had displayed very good senses in her line of thoughts.

I was busy talking , I don’t remember what about , when she suddenly stood up running to the grass and started vomiting.
” Are you okey? ” I walked to her and held her shoulder as she breathed heavily.
” I have been feeling nauseous for some days now and this is the 4th time this is happening” she whispered.

After she cleaned up she sat down her hands holding her head. ” What is it ?” I asked sitting next to her.
” Lucas if this is what I think then I don’t know , my life is over” she sighed
” What is it? Don’t rscare me?” I asked panicking.

” I could be pregnant ” she told me seriously.

” But… How?” I stammered
” Yeah you and me have not been together since the last time Mike raped me, if its true then am carrying that lunatic’s child” she cried.

I stood up shocked . ” Oh my God!” I sighed not knowing what to say.

It was worse enough I had to put up with the madness of Mike now I had to sacrifice to raise his child.

” I can’t be with you Lucas, this is a sign. …then”

” Stop!” I shouted ” we dont know for sure. The best is you get tested first and…”
” What happens if it’s true?” She cut me short and I stared at her speechless.
I had honestly not thought of that before and it was hard to process everything in that moment.

.
Stella. …
I kept my eyes on the ceiling as I lay back in the bed. I could feel Lucas’ eyes on me as he stood close to the closet. We just came back from the hospital and the Doctor just confirmed I was 5 weeks pregnant.
I was supposed to be glad that I was not barren after all. I knew some people had even formulated stories that I was barren no wonder my husband divorced me.
I even heard how Mwenya had stayed on at Chris’ house claiming everything now belonged to her and her child as she had the rights because of the baby. Even though the family members from Chris were accusing her of planting the child on their son.

One of the aunties I once met during the trial told me Chris could not father a child. He had a problem with his genitals when he was a child but they never told him before, hoping he would get better.

Now that I knew I was not barren after all, how was I to celebrate and at the same time cry with the fact that the child in my womb was a product of a rape from a man I now dispised.

Imagining how happy Mike could be if he knew it made me feel even worse. For sure he would do all he could to purnish me by getting the child or worse still using it to get to me again.

I still felt him having 6 years wasn’t enough as he would be out and I had no idea how I was going to deal with him if at all he tried to come back.

Tears fell freely from my eyes making the pillow case wet.
” let’s get married” i heard Lucas speak up looking at me.

” What ? Are you being serious right now,” I asked sitting up and looking at him.
” yes why not? Let’s get married and no one will ever know the child is Mike’s ” he shrugged coming towards me.
” that’s a very serious joke and honestly am not in the mood” I spat standing up and walking away from him.
” why? Don’t you want to be with me,” he asked disappointed
” Lucas please. Hear yourself out. I got divorced barely 3 months past and been going through issues, now am pregnant for another man. You think this is the right time to ask me for marriage ?” I questioned him looking away.

” yes!” He answered bluntly .
I looked at him not believing him. He was serious and I couldn’t help wonder what was going on in his mind.

” I can’t sorry ” I too responded without hesitation.
” yes you can. If you care for me even a little bit you are going to marry me because I love you. I want us both to stand together and raise that child. Letting you live with it alone will not make things easy for both of us. It’s better we never tell anyone about the father of this child and I will take him or her as my own ” he explained calmly and seriously.
” am not going to subject you to any of that. Am sorry Lucas, I have already made you sacrifice a lot for me. The money, the torture, right now I am staying in your house I can’t even give myself to you because of what I have been through. No, I won’t do this to you any more. This is over and am going back to my parents. I will find a way of raising the baby because i cant abort an innocent child either” I clearly explained making my points and he kept on looking at me as though I was crazy.
