Xavier’s POV
We ended the call and I went back to my work, we arrived home in the next thirty five minutes and everyone was outside waiting for our arrival, we came back on Friday and grandfather with aunt is there too, I woke Jess up by engaging her in a breath taking kiss, she rubbed her eyes like a cat, trying to get sleep out from it then she came down.
She rushed and hugged grandfather and aunt, then when we got inside proceed to give everyone souvenirs she bought for each person, grandfather got a beautiful staff made with pure bronze and covered with a leopard skin, aunt was a makeup set made traditional with herbs, clothes, shoes and bags with a few other stuffs that are edible.
The maids and cooks got tea set made locally with clay and ceramics, hand made towels, some tea herbs (which were fucking expensive ) and another thing I don’t even know it’s name, they were all thankful and she gave everyone the Christmas shirt she designed and had the made there, since Christmas is fast approaching she made it for us to take a pictures with, when she was done she was tired, she even bought some for grandfather’s workers too, she went to sleep immediately we got upstairs, I had to unpack the rest of her belongings.
Ever since we came back, Jessica has been really strange, she would get angry and annoyed with any slightest thing that upsets her, she will come home crying that work was overwhelming, I decided to stop her from going to work for a week, I started making arrangements to get a nice therapist for her, once done, she went to the session once and said she is going no more that the therapist is not a good and professional one, that she is asking her questions about her personal life and me, since then am trying to convince her to just try it again just one more time but the tables turned to me, and she sleeps a lot.
One day after work, I came back but everywhere was quite without a pin drop, I wondered where she went to, I went upstairs to see her sleeping, I freshened up and she didn’t wake up, I left her and went downstairs to cook something up, the workers went out for holiday, I cooked dinner and went to inform only to notice she isn’t waking up, I called the ambulance immediately and without waiting at all, I carried her to my car and started going straight to the hospital, I met the ambulance halfway because I called back and told them where I was, they took her to the hospital in a records time, I immediately went with her till I was held back at the visitor’s lounge.
She woke up soon and was surprised to find herself in the hospital, she nearly started panicking that something might have happened again, seeing her that way, my resolve to have us go for therapy hardened, I don’t hear to suffer any more trauma and I will try to ease the ones she has already so it wouldn’t affect her much, tests were run on her and we went to her VIP room to wait for the results,
“Do you think I have a terminal disease? What if I have some sort of illness? ”
“Don’t worry, am sure it isn’t it maybe you are just stressed out and needs rest and nourishment ”
“As if I am stressed out, I just came back from a vocation so why would I be stressed out?”
“Babe can you consider getting a therapy? This time around we go together huh, please?”
“…… But it’s only for people who are depressed though ”
“I know but we should try it out, we have a lot of bad memories we need to come in terms with, so let’s try hummm?”
“Fine if you say so but one wrong words am out okay?”
“Okay, thank you ”
“Ahem, Ahem, sorry Mr and Mrs McCartney for intruding your privacy but I have brought the results ”
“O….. Okay, let me have it, Doctor can you please give us a private moment to read it ourselves, we will get back to you ”
“Okay no problem then I will be in my office then, by the way congratulations ”
He left after saying that, maybe he heard about my successful project well am thankful too, we looked at each other debating who should open it with our eyes, I decided to open it,
“Babe if I have anything wrong with me, remember I love you, I don’t know if I said this but I love you too, and would have loved it if we really made family toget…”
“We are pregnant, Jessica ”
“Of course I know, it will….. What did you just say, pregnant? Am….. Am pregnant?!”
“Yes love, see it right here, you are pregnant with my child, our child, oh my God honey, am proud of you ”
“Am pregnant, am really pregnant, we are going to be parents, oh my goodness we will be parents ”
“Yes sweetheart, I can’t wait to tell grandfather the news, I can’t wait to tell them ”
“Call them now, what are you waiting for, call them”
“Okay, am calling, am calling ”
I called the house intercom and the butler answered, after greetings he gave the phone to aunt,
“Hello Xavier ”
“Good day aunt, I have news for you and grandfather ”
“News for us, let me put it on speak out, yor grandfather is here, hope everything is okay honey ”
“Yes, everything is more than okay, it’s fine than ever ”
“Ok, calm down Xavier, you are really excited something good must have really happened ”
“Yes aunt, Jess is pregnant, she is three weeks pregnant, we confirmed at the hospital ”
“Oh my God, thank you God thank you God, Jess baby!!! Am so proud of you ”
“Thanks Aunt, am so happy too, am gonna be a parent and you a grandma”
“This is so exciting, grandfather is all tears, this is really good news, we are really very happy, you both make us proud ”
“Xavier my grandson, Jessica my dear daughter, thank you both for making my dream come true, especially you Jessica thank you for giving my grandson a family ”
“Grandfather, I am already his family and I am happy to have met Xavier too”
“No we are lucky to have you, take care of yourself, we will be coming tomorrow ”
“Okay, bye”
