Hanna POV
I left Ambrose and his wife as Laura advise, she said I shouldn't throw another blow so soon. We want them to feel at ease for the main time.
I roll the duvet above my head, it went down my waist again. This is the 100th time this same process is repeating itself.
I opened my eyes angrily, I was actually enjoying my sleep and this same thing keeps pulling my duvet off me.
There he was, the ribs of my ribs. I think I am loving him already, all I feel for Ambrose right now is hatred.
"When I met you at Laura's place few months back, my heart skipped a beat. You are my world baby" Anthony confessed as our lips locked.
It's my birthday and I am feeling so loved already.
I am yet to say a word, he carried me out of bed and straight to the sitting room where a beautiful carrot cake was sitting with burning candles on top.
He made me blow the candles on my carrot cake.
"I don't know what to buy you on this day, you are quite expensive yourself and it would be rude getting you something worth millions when you are actually worth billions so I got my baby a mansion at Cairo, you would love it I promise. It's not those regular houses because I know you got taste" He said as he rubbed my back.
My jaw dropped, my bright eyes shun brighter and loving his big smile. It's 5am in the morning.
"Tony, you have been........I......" I stammered, a house in Cairo? A mansion. Oh my God, why did it take me so late to meet Anthony.
"Ok, I know. Just save the words and go back to bed, once the day breaks, we would have to celebrate the Queen"
He swept me off my foot and ran all the way upstairs leaving the uncut cake on the center table.
When I woke up later in the morning, he wash me in the shower, he took me on a mind blowing romance and I though we were going to end up having sex. He just made me lost myself but never took me. I didn't want to yell at him, he must have his reasons though. We got out of shower and he dressed me in a beautiful green gown.
"How about taking you to see your sister? Let the pregnant twins enjoy their day" He kissed my forehead, I frowned, who wants to visit the Fords? Maybe not me.
"Take me somewhere else" I protested.
"I insist, I don't understand the issue you have with each other, you should let it go, both of you are married and expecting babies" He said as he drag me towards the door.
I was expecting him to take me to beautiful places and not this stupid Fords home.
Ambrose POV
"Look who just turn 27" I made her sit on my laps, her neck bent sideways as I ran my tongue on it.
"Happy birthday sunshine, I hope it's the best of the best sweetie"
I raised her short flare gown up and played with her thigh, she giggled all along.
"Where do you wanna go today?" I asked sliding my finger down her arm.
"Home, Just stay home" She rested on my chest and we rubbed her tummy together.
"I can't wait to meet her" She said smiling.
I am just so grateful that pregnancy wasn't really hard for her, she just had mood swings and that was it. No stretch mark or blemishes, she regained her lost weight already and she look so healthy. Medical report is just awesome, no more back pains or high blood pressure. She's just doing fine.
My phone beeped, reaching for it, it was a message actually. I responded in a rush holding the phone to my side so that she wouldn't see what the message read.
"What are you hiding?" She asked trying to catch a glimpse of the message I was responding to.
"Come, let me show you" I said.
She held her tummy and stood up with a little discomfort. Her big tummy is something else.
I waited in front of the building holding her left hand in mine. She was calm but surely curious.
Saint was at alert, I gave him orders already.
A car honk and Saint swang the door open. Here comes the birthday gift, a G wagon.
"Don't faint baby" I smiled turning my neck side ways to see her expression. Her lips parted, she covered her mouth with her right palm as the driver of the vehicle park in front of us. I don't have to tell her it's hers, the plate number was customized in her name and some balloons and ribbons was attached to the car. Fiks gave me the idea of getting her a very expensive vehicle.
"Thank you" I shook the driver as he gave the key to me.
I watch him exit the compound, before I could turn to face my wife, she snatched the key from me and ran down to the car. I laughed as she excitedly drove it around for the first time. I am sure I am getting a very good meal from her as a reward.
She was still driving around when Saint went for the gate, a car honks.
I recognize the red venza to be Antony's, I wonder what he's doing here. The presence of his car didn't stop my wife's excitement, she rode around as slow as a learner.
He alighted the car and flung the side door open for his witch. I hissed seeing her, I should have strangled her last week.
"Don't tell me you did this for her? I am impressed man" Anthony said hugging me. He watch Haira drive her new ride excitedly. Hanna stood next to her husband and watch closely.
She finally decide to park her birthday gift. She rushed at me not minding the presence of her sister and her husband. We kissed passionately, I love this, I love it when people watch us do our thing.
"Thank you baby, God bless you" She kissed me again and I can sense jealousy as Hanna jumped into Anthony too. It became a couple competition. I just shut my eyes and enjoy every suck.
"Aunty, no curry again o" Apollos interrupted. She stood at the entrance door as she shouted behind us.
We busted out laughing, each man held his wife as we walk into the house.
Two months later
Its Christmas, in the morning when I woke up, I had crisis. My husband had to rush me to the hospital when I kept yelling on top of my voice. It was a threatening miscarriage. He just return from one of his long journeys last night and the last he wanted to hear or witness is loosing our child, well he believes the baby is his.
The doctors gave me special attention, my blood sample and Anthony's own were collected, series of test were carried out, they almost concluded that my child's blood is so different and rare. It wasn't really certain but they spit the truth that I mightn't go beyond this month before lossing my child. I was under thorough medical check and maximum attention was given. Anthony spent a lot. I was asked if I wanted evacuation since I was in serious pains and they can't guarantee the child's survival. I wave the idea aside, I know I would carry my child until full term. He's six months already and I can't waste him now.
I thought he would ask questions concerning the blood group of our child that seems to be different, he didn't say a thing. He just look after me and pay every bill as they came. I thought about Haira, is she going through this too? I am sure the baby is Ambrose's, how come I am suffering a threatening miscarriage? God, what's this I have gotten myself into? Do I keep parading the hospital till birth? No wonder pregnancy is hell for me. I should haven't had sex with this idiot without protection. How can my son have a rare blood? How? Why? Oh no! My child must survive.
If I am going to lose this child after all this pains, Haira too must feel pains or maybe lost her daughter. The Fords have cause me enough pains already and it's time to be hard on them, very very hard.
"Yeeeeh" I yelled out when I felt a terrible pain below my navel. A nurse was in my private ward with me so she quickly attended to me. This pain that comes and go is hell. They said I would be fine in a day or two but can I go on with this pain for another twenty four hours? Haira must go through this too, her tummy keeps growing and she refuse to deliver her child all the while. She would have apply bite of what this whole thing feels like. I am now sure that her child isn't Ambrose's, she's far gone and doesn't seem like she goes through this threat of miscarrying her child.
"The same pains?" An elderly doctor walked in with two student doctors and asked.
The nurse nodded, she called for help using a bell in the ward.
"Madam, you would be fine, be strong" The doctor said checking my temperature and noting some things down.
I was miserable, I insist on seeing my husband, he was brought to me at once and I saw tears forming in his eyes.
"Don't cry, I would be fine" I assured trying to hold my own tears.
He kissed my hands softly.
"Once you are discharged, we would leave for Cairo, you need international attention and you would get it, I love you baby"
He gave me a deep kiss and I smiled. He wasn't allowed to stay for long so he left my ward while I battle the pains alone.
Ambrose POV
I laid there enjoying the chest massage from my pregnant wife. It's my birthday and we are at Dubai already. She's due in two or three weeks. I can't wait to hold my beautiful Angel. God has been so merciful, he kept my wife this long without any challenges. I thought I was going to spend a lot trying to keep her alive but I was wrong, God loves me.
My phone rang, I reached for it above my head, it's mom.
"Mom" I greeted.
"You and your wife refuse to come home for Christmas abi?" She seems a bit upset.
I re position my head on the pillow, we didn't tell her we are expecting a baby. Last month Haira was at the studio taking shots of her bulgy tummy. We have refused to talk about her pregnancy on net, she have been posting only selfies online. All of her full images showing our baby's bump was taken by unknown people during her public outings.
We wanted to surprise everyone with our child, I wanted to be sure we are pulling through before she begin to upload pictures.
"Mom, am sorry I didn't tell you all along, Haira is pregnant and she's expecting our baby in two weeks, we are presently at Dubai, I am roaming" I said.
Haira climb down my tummy, she's been sitting on her kneels as she messaged my chest.
She sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the space.
"Ambrose, a whole nine months journey and you and your wife think I shouldn't know about it?" She yelled.
What's wrong with this woman sef? Ordinary happy birthday, she hasn't said.
"We are sorry, it escaped our minds" I bailed myself out.
"You better come back home now, you want to have your child in an Arab country, those ones that don't know more than abusing women? Who would press your wife's tummy with hot water? Come back o, I wouldn't say more than that"
She ended the call.
"Ugh, no happy birthday?" I hissed.
"She's upset?" Haira asked turning to look at me.
"I am hungry like hell" I said sitting up and holding my tummy.
"Let me get something for you"
She stood up and my eyes caught something scary, blood on the white bed spread. I flipped, fear gripped me.
"Baby, you are bleeding" I yelled. She turn around, she doesn't seems scared like myself, she shrugged "Labour, my water must have broken" She said softly.
I ran to the wardrobe and got the hospital box, God, the time I fear most is here.
