?Haira POV ?

I sat at the reception, waiting patiently for the doctor to give me good news. I called the police and they raided the building, Mr Micheal was still breathing and unconscious, he was rushed to the hospital, the gateman was arrested. I haven't had the time to ask Eugene what happened. She just clung to her son while I cried for my dying husband.

"Which one of you is Haira Ford?" A nurse came forward with a sliver Stainless tray in her hands.

"Me" I quickly jumped up, i don't want to get any bad news, not now. Our marriage is still very young. I can't deal.

"Your husband insist on seeing you" She said and I jumped up in excitement. He's alive, Eugene and Sammy weren't allowed in. I was told not to spend more the ten minutes with him because he needs rest.

"I thought you died" I kissed his forehead. His deep eyes almost invisible. He laid shirtless on the bed with a fold of white bandage around his waist.

"I wouldn't leave you" He tried forcing out a smile, his hand touched my face and a tear escaped my eyes. He took my hand to touch his manhood and it was so hard and bulgy. I look at his with dilated eyes.

"Ambrose, you just came out of the theatre fee minutes ago and you are still think of this?"

"I get hard on unnecessarily, I think something is wrong with me, the liquid injected into me is over working" He said softly, he look so weak and pained.

"It would subsides, I think the liquid would work for few days before clearing off, you would be fine" I rubbed the front of his head and we looked in each others eyes. Everywhere was quite and I got emotional. Tears fell off my eyes and he wiped it off.

The tears chunk, I turned my head slightly and a middle age male doctor walked in.

"Madam, you are his wife?" He asked and I nodded.

"You know about his blood group?" He asked, I bent my head forward staring at his hurt stomach. Ambrose had the rarest blood on earth. Only 50 people possessed the rh null blood in the world. This is why Ambrose is always careful of excess cut since he can receive from only a rh null carrier.

"Yes" I manage to say swallowing hard.

"We have a rh null nurse working here, we bought the blood to save your husband from her, you would pay hugely for it" He said and I nodded, Ambrose's life is very important.

"You have to excuse him now, he needs rest" He told me. I stood up but Ambrose held my hand firmly, fiddling with my wedding ring.

"Let her stay please, she wouldn't disturb me, I promise" He said gently.

"Mr Ford, you.............."

"Please, i wouldn't shut my eyes if she's far from me" He pleaded, the doctor shrugged as she left us to ourselves.

"Baby, how do you feel now?" I quickly sat on the bed taking his hand in mine. He just stared, i know he must be really hungry, he hasn't eaten for hours now.

"Should I get you food?" I asked and he waved his other hand meaning a no.

Three weeks later.

He was discharged, we returned to the hotel and I made him have a hot shower. I got a room for Sammy and Eugene already. Through out the last three weeks, i slept in the hospital with him, i witness every injection and medication administered. Eugene brought clothes for us. I started my period in the early hours of the morning, I miss his cuddle, I didn't even bother to tell him my period was on, he was so weak that he drifted to dreamland after the hot bath. I went out for lunch, by the time I return, he was up.

"You need rest" I sat next to him and ran a finger across his hair.

"I am sorry, i am not strong enough to see you through this month but I would try my best next month, you wouldn't do it alone I promise" He leaned forward and kissed my head, he groaned holding the stitched part of his stomach.

"Sorry, Just rest, I am not complaining. Moreover, how did you know?"

"It's another 28days already, you don't have to remind me. Did you get your sanitary napkins?" His eyes went straight to a my pant bag, I normally kept my pads there.

"Yes, I am fine"

I undressed and got in bed with him. I couldn't sleep on him like I would love to. He laid on his back since that's the only position he found comfortable.

I took my pills and hugged my pillow. I would have to stay up this night on my own and hold my tummy in pains. He soon drifted off again and I did the same.

Next Morning.

"Good morning Beatrice" His masculine voice woke me. I thought I was dreaming, he wouldn't wake up before me, he needed rest than I do.

When I opened my eyes, i saw him holding a bunch of flower, I sat up scrubbing my sleepy eyes.

"Happy birthday in advance darling" He grinned kneeling next to me. My birthday was 30days away, i almost forgot though, I have been disturbed all through the last few weeks.

"Ambrose you don't have to kneel, you aren't strong" I took the flower from him, it smelt nice.

"I feel better this morning, I think you would have to be my doctor whenever I fall ill" He smiled and I felt special.

"Come, let's have our morning bath together" He took the duvet off my body and waited for me to climb down the bed.

We had a hot bath together, he was really erected and I became scared. it has been like this for few weeks now, since he left Mr Micheal's home, His manhood get erected for no reason, he has complained to meet a million times and I thought it was because he had stayed away from sex for close to a month now. I think he's not yet strong to have me, if not, with the way he used to carve for me, he would have taken me.

After bath we went for breakfast with Eugene and Sammy. It was then that she had the time to tell us about her experience in Mr Micheal's captive.

"After marriage, we left for South Africa. He told me he do business not until i gave birth to Sammy, I realised he was into hard drugs, he has a lab in that house were he mixes and package them. When I discovered, I confronted him and the beating began" She paused swallowing her grains.

"I told my mom he hits me and she said I should stay and keep praying. I never told her he deals with drug, she was carried away by the huge amount he sends home to her. When I told Haria" She looked at me and continued ":She told me to get a job, get a life. I pleaded that she talk to a lawyer on my behalf but she didnt. No one understood what I was going through, he didn't let me out of the house since I discovered what he did underneath. He finally did the worse, he wants me to sleep with his partners for money, I bluntly refused and he hit me more. He brought in Sassy suddenly, my phones were seized and i became the house help" She was trying to control her tears, a tear rolled down her eyes and she quickly wiped it off. I felt bad for not listening to her those times, I thought she was so stupid to stay with a woman beater. I was unmarried and I thought she was trying to remain a Mrs, I never knew she was trapped in her marriage.

"Did you talk to the agent?" Ambrose turned to me and i nodded. He asked me to talk to our traveling agents so that Eugene and Sammy would return to Nigeria with us on 20th, a week from now. We have had enough in South Africa, it was worse than staying back in Nigeria.

"Eugene, I am sorry, I didn't listen to the full story, I should have given you a shoulder to cry on" I stretched my hands across the table and she took it.

"No, I am sorry I hurt your husband" She said feeling guilty and I smiled.

"At least we all are happy and sound" I said getting back to food.

There was silence, Sammy fed his mother childishly and I prayed silently for a child. I was tired of menstruating, I just wanted a child.

"Eguene" Ambrose cleared his throat, I knew what he was going to say so I prepared myself to console Eugene.

"Yes" She responded feeding her boy a sip of juice from her cup.

"We called Apollos, she said your parents are late" I almost cursed Ambrose for slamming it at her so hard. Eugene dropped back into her plastic chair scratching her head. She had my dress and wig on. I stood up and went to stand behind her smooching her shoulders.

"Be strong, thank God you have a visa, in another five days we would be home, you can start all afresh, you have a son at least" I consoled. Ambrose joined me, he stood next to me behind her, he rubbed my back slightly and kissed my cheek. I wondered if he was to console Eugene or touch me. He took off his jacket and tied it around my waist. I knew immediately that I was stained already.

A week later

"Home sweet home, oshey!" Ambrose screamed behind the taxi. Eugene sat next to the driver while Sammy sat in between I and Ambrose.

Ambrose had shown a lot of strength in the past few days, I had only 25days to my birthday, I wondered what he was planning for the bash I smelt to be something big.

"Sammy have you been to the zoo before?" He bent forward kissing Sammy's cheek.

"No" He replied sharply climbing Ambrose's lap.

"Ouch, that your father isn't only useless, he's boring. I would take you your out, I am your new daddy oo" He kissed him in the stomach and I forced a side smile. Eugene was laughing hysterically at the front seat. How I wish, that I was presently pregnant, I wouldn't have felt bad when he told Sammy he's his new dad. I need to work on my fertility, I need a child. My marriage is almost a year and I can't stand another year without getting pregnant.
