*I FELL IN LOVE*
Episode 21
Congratulations, you are six weeks pregnant, the doctor said to the couple.
“Thank you Doctor” They chorused.
“She’ll have to come back later to register for antenatal” said the Doctor
“Sure sir, thanks once again” he said with a handshake and they left the doctor’s Office.
“Sweetheart, we are having a baby. I’m going to be a mother” she said hugging him on their way out of the hospital.
Feranmi was surprised at her reaction.
“I thought she’ll take the news badly” he thought within himself.
“Yes we are having a baby, I can see you are very happy”
“Yes I’m happy” she replied with a smile.
“I’ll drop you off at home, we’ll celebrate in the evening”
On his way back to the site, he started doing some serious thinking, now he’s the one scared.
“God I thank you for this Wonder gift, but God please I don’t want to bring a baby I can’t take care of into this world, please make a way for me” he said silently and sighed.
Feranmi got home in the evening and was welcomed with a romantic dinner.
“Baby, this is nice but remember you are told not to stress yourself”
“It’s not stressful, I’m fine and besides I’m home all day doing nothing”
After dinner they retired to bed.
“Congratulations to us once again” Wemmy said smiling.
“You really surprise me today, you know”
“How?” She asked
“The way you reacted to the news of course, you don’t want this before”
“Well I guess that’s the joy of an expectant mother, I can’t believe I’m carrying our child “ she said gleefully.
“I’m happy you received the news with joy”
“Hold on! Feranmi, you are scared, gosh! I can see it in your eyes”
“Ok, you got me, I’m a bit scared” he sighed heavily.
“But you’ve always wanted this from the start” she said sitting on top of him.
“I know and I’m grateful to God, it’s just that……..
“Job issue right. He nodded his head in affirmation.
“Sweetheart, the scripture says the young lion suffer and lack, but those who put there trust in God will never lack anything good.
All we have to do now is to trust God, trust me he works in mysterious ways.
See, there is this peace I felt within me since we got the news in the morning, trust me this baby will not suffer, that I am sure of.
Let’s just continue to pray and trust God, everything will be fine” she encouraged him.
“Oluwawemimo, what would I have done without you, thank you for those words of encouragement, thanks for making things easier for me. You never for once complained. I love you so much”
“I love you too, she said kissing him seductively.
“No wifey, I don’t think love making is healthy for the baby at this stage”
“Like seriously! Says who?”
“I read some stuff on the internet at work”
“What! You are unbelievable, you just knew you are going to be a father in less than 12hours and you are already surfing the internet?” she said throwing a pillow at him playfully.
“Yeah, no sex till further notice, deal with it” He said jokingly.
“That’s a lie, I will have to confirm from my gynecologist”
“When are we going to know the sex of the baby?” he asked
“Google is your friend, so ask google” she replied laughing.
“Really! Well played. If you think I’ll touch you this night, OYO is your case”
“Haba! Someone can not play with you?”
“Off course you can my sweet wife” he replied planting a kiss on her lips. I love you”
“I love you too”
They prayed that night thanking God for the wonderful gift He gave them and they also tendered there requests to God.

Feranmi now stays at home, he does one or two things in the house to keep himself busy. Wemmy now goes to work in his car.
Weeks later, he received a call from Segun his friend/boss.
“Hello Segun what’s up”
“I dey Ore, I have a job for you”
“You got another contract?”
“Not really, it’s a renovation work, one of my client in Port Harcourt bought a housing property and it needed renovation”
“Port Harcourt? That’s far, my wife is pregnant, I can’t leave her all alone here”
“Wow! Congratulations”
“Thanks”
“I think you’ll need the job, now that you are even expecting a baby”
“I know, but please give me time to discuss with my wife”
“I’ll give you two days for you to get back at me, if you are not interested I’ll have to get someone else to supervise the work for me”
“How long will it takes to finish the renovation?”
“Three months at most, it all depends on you too if you coordinate things well over there”
“You will hear from me in two days, thanks so much, my regards to your family”
“OK, say me well to your wife too”
“Sure I will” he ended the call with mixed feelings.
