Two weeks later

?Hanna POV ?

I fell ill, Anthony would be back in a day, he called time to time to know how I am feeling. He's so worried.

I went to the clinic and I was diagnosed of malaria. I was given pills, I have been swallowing them for two days now.

Laura check on me every morning, she leave for her shop and pay me another visit in the evening. Since mom travelled for a party in Abuja, Dad came home because of me, only God knows where he have been sleeping all the while.

I shivered under my duvet, I miss Ambrose and his cuddle. Ambrose give me extra care when am ill, he goes out to buy us food, make the house warm for me, make sure I stay in bed all day, wash me in the bathroom, wipe my hot head with cold water, ensure I swallow my pills and put me in his warmth.

All those things is what I want to enjoy again, that's why i am going back for my Ambrose.

My phone beeped, it was Haira.

"Witch!" I hissed.

I have visited them once since she returned with Ambrose. I found new faces in their homes, I don't care who they are though but I noticed Ambrose goes around with a little dude.

Haira doesn't seems comfortable seeing Ambrose jumping around with the boy.

"Hi" I greeted trying to hide my malaria voice.

"What happen? You sound somehow" She asked.

"Malaria oo, it's serious"

"Oh my God! And I can't come home oo, mom won't let me in, I would have come check on you"

I smiled, mom isn't home.

"She travelled, you can come if you want to" I said.

She promise to be with me in few minutes.

? Ambrose POV ?

She went for her unnecessary test two days back, it came out negative.
Since two days now, she have been in pains, taking pain relieve and hot baths. The doctor said I am fine, my sperm count is normal and I can impregnate a woman. He told I and Haira to come back in six months if we still can't conceive.

Eugene have been taking care of her, I just go out with Sammy and play tennis. Eugene is searching for a job in a factory in Port Harcourt, she said she would wait for feedback from the company before enrolling Sammy in any school. According to her, she goes any where Sammy go.

I left home as usual with Sammy, Haira is just annoying with her unnecessary carving for a child. Not like we haven't been doing it, we hardly go a day without making love, I believe God is working in my favour.

Hanna came visiting sometimes last week, I left her to her sister while I jump around with Sammy. When she left, Haira said I have to reduce the way I play with Sammy like he was my child, she said it hurts her to see me flaunt him even in the presence of visitors. That's her own wish anyways, Sammy is my boy and I wouldn't dump him to satisfy my wife.

?Haira POV?

I still feel pains from the HSG though but I needed to see Hanna. Now was the right time, once Ambrose returns home with Sammy, he would start monitoring my movement and he would never allow me to go see my sister.

I quickly left in a cab, I was not too good to drive.

"Dad" I screamed running into his arms. I wasn't expecting to see him home.

"You are glowing" He pulled my cheeks.

"Dad it's Ambrose oo" I smiled as I tried sitting on a chair.
Dad noticed my discomfort and asked me what the problem was, I open up to him telling him how much I care for a child.

"I want a child, I have fibroid but the doctor said it stops nothing. Ambrose is medically fine too, I went for a test two days ago, I needed to check if my tubes were open"

"So, what happened to you? Feels like you are in pains" He asked sounding worried.

"The test is like a surgery, it hurts a lot" I explained.
I sat next to his chair so he held my hands and fondle them "You would be fine, Just pray!" He told me.

I nodded.

I walked up the stairs to see Hanna, she was swallowing her pills when I stepped in. I hugged her tight as we both sat next to each other in bed and discuss. I kept checking my wristwatch, if Ambrose get home before me, I would be in trouble.

"I have to go now, you know Ambrose don't want me to even talk to you over the phone talk less of coming here to see you" I said standing up from the bed carefully.
She stood up from the bed and hug me.

"What's going on? Are you pregnant? I have been watching you, looks like you are in pains" She suddenly asked, tears dripped down my eyes, very soon everyone would start asking "why the hell are you not pregnant?"

"I am not, I want a child desperately, the doctor said I have a very small fibroid" I said pouring down more tears.

She wiped the tears with the back of her palm and pulled me into her chest.

"Have you gone for other test? Is the fibroid the issue? Like its the reason you find it difficult to sit and conceive?" She asked also close to tears.

"My husband sperm is fine, he can Father a child, I went to check my tubes, they are open too. The tube test actually caused the pains, I did it two days ago" I explained.

"What's Ambrose saying? He's pestering you for a child?"

"No, Ambrose has a little problem too, we were involved in some kind of mess in South Africa, he was injected with some liquid, since then he suffer abnormal erection. The doctor wants the sample of the liquid, the only person that can provide that is dead, now, he just want sex all the time, he doesn't even care if we have a child or not"
The tears came really hot and flow like a stream.

"I am sorry dear, I wish i could help" she said wiping off my tears.

"I have to go now, he would be mad at me if he doesn't meet me at home" I said giving her a last hug and storming out of the room.

?General POV?

Fiks knocked the door for the third time, he waited patiently to hear a voice or anything at all.

Anita insisted that he take care of his child, she threatened to leave if he doesn't start checking in Sonia and the baby.

He was going to knock again when Sonia open the door. He stepped in not minding the harsh face she gave him.

"What do you want here?" She yelled pushing her tommy behind him.

He dropped into a couch and stretched his fat body.
"Come here, let me talk to my child" He said opening his hands for her to run in.

Sonia eyes dilated, she couldn't believe Fiks was sitting in her house asking her to hug him. she slowly sat next to him and drop her head on his chest.

"How many months now?" He rubbed her bulgy tummy.

"Five months, six in few days" She whispered with her eyes shut, it was obvious she's so excited about his presence.

"You are far gone, I would take it up from here, have you done any shopping?" He asked raising her head up his chest.

"I bought everything needed already" She said leaning forward for a kiss. He gave in, it was just for him to have access to his baby so that Anita wouldn't leave.

"I would pay you back then, gender checked?"

"Yes, boy" She smiled placing his hands on her tummy so that he would touch his child.

Fiks smiled, he is expecting a baby boy.

"Good then, I would check on you from time to time, let me know if you need anything okay?"

"Can I move in with you?" She asked.
Fiks move away from her, he hissed and shook his head "I have a girlfriend"

"But she knows you have another girlfriend"

"No, a baby mama" Fiks responded harshly.
Sonia sat up on her chair, her two hands on each side of her laps.

"I can't marry you, I would take care of you and the baby till infinity but no marriage please, it's a define relationship" He said standing up from the couch.

"No, I love you, I am the mother of your unborn, you should marry me" She said trying to stand up with her big tummy. Fiks help her up and they stood up to each other.

"Sonia, I like you no doubt, if I could sleep with you multiple times without protection, it meant I like you so much but there's no love, I found love somewhere else, let's continue this way please" He pleaded holding her back firmly.

"Is it because of that fair girl? then let her get pregnant if it's that easy" She yelled moving towards the door.
Fiks followed trying to calm her down.

"Anita isn't ready to have a baby" He said biting his tongue, he wouldn't say beyond this, only him and Anita knows that she doesn't have a womb.

"Please, birth the baby for me and I would pay you hugely, you can leave him with me while you continue with your life, I would always come around to see the both of you, I promise"

"You promise to always come here and cuddle me?"

"Sure" He responded hoping that she would give in to his deal. He want the baby for Anita and he would make the deal legal.
He wants to make Anita his wife but she has no womb, though he never bother until Anita insisted that he should care for Sonia's child reminding him of her condition. he thought it would be good to involve a lawyer and sign a deal with Sonia so that Anita would become the mother of the child.

"You would sleep with me if I want?" She asked pulling him closer. Fiks exhaled, if this is it, he has to do everything to make Sonia sign an agreement to give the baby to his girlfriend and forget it for life.

"Under one condition" He said.
"I want the baby" He said. she frowned trying to understand what he meant by that "But he's yours" She frowned.

"I mean, I would pay you off, give him to me and stay off for life" He said dreading her response.

She took few steps backward holding her tummy protectively.

"I knew it, you had a plan for coming here, out!"
She slam the door open and push him out.

He stood in front of the door and grinned, it might take time but he knew Sonia would succumb to his deal, she likes money and he would ask her to name her price.

?Ambrose POV ?

When I return home with little Sammy, she was absent. Eugene and Apollos couldn't answer to where she went, I called her twice, she snubbed my call.

I went upstairs and stood in front of the main door. This door is usually locked, I came here to see who would bring her home since all our cars are in the compound.

From up here, I can see three streets away, I could even see everything going on in the compounds around.

A black Benz came to an halt in front of the gate, the driver rushed to the other side of the car and flaunt the door open. My wife stepped down carefully and slowly, my head spin, I clenched my teeth inside my mouth, I punched the wall on my left as I boiled in excess anger.
She had the effrontery to bring her concubine to my house and still hugged him right in front of my gate. Haira you are dead today.

I watch the gateman rush for the door when she knocked, the Benz zoom off the road and I stormed inside the house locking the door noisily.

We collided into each other downstairs, she shook like a leaf when she saw the devilish eyes I possessed.

"You are back" she grinned trying to over look my angry face.

"No, I am not. you think I wouldn't return so soon right?"

"Who annoyed you, you........"

"Where the fuck are you coming from?" I barked holding her left wrist.
Eugene and Apollos were in the sitting room, I had to control myself, I wouldn't display my marital issues in their presence.

"Upstairs" I commanded getting off the road so that she would led.

I stood with my hands behind my back as she moved slowly towards the stairs. She walk so weak that I had reason to think she was fucked by someone else after making me wait for the past two days all in the name of pains.
