Collin’s POV
She asked and I was a bit startled when I heard her voice again, it’s very beautiful maybe she is an idol trainee, I wouldn’t be surprised the girl got looks and voice,
“Sorry, ahem, it’s X High School”
“Are you sure?”
“Huh? Of course, why would I lie about that?”
“Well, am not saying you are lying just that your uniform is strange, not the uniform of that school you mentioned ”
“Huh?”
I look down at myself to see that I was actually wearing my old school uniform, just my luck,
“Yes, you are right, I miss wore the clothes, do you happen to know the school, am embarrassed to see this but am lost too”
“That’s strange, you are already in the school, seems you took the dormitory road, you are lucky no one saw you, all the students here are schooling there”
“So I have been walking around inside the school for more than two hours now ”
“Am sorry about that, you can explain to your homeroom teacher, they will understand ”
“Thank you so much for your help, I will definitely repay you ”
“No problem, my name is Jessica, I have to go, see you later ….”
“Collins, that’s my name and see you later”
(FLASHBACK ENDS)
I started sobbing but I have no one to blame except me and if she finds out I was a spy for Marcus’s father then she will cut any exiting ties, we had with each other and I don’t want that,
“I am really sorry Jessica, it wasn’t intentional, I just regret ever leaving you and wanted you back”
A sob broke out of my throat, I am really heartbroken by myself and it hurts a lot, is this what Jessica felt when I abandoned her on our wedding day and the degrading words I used on her, I regret it all but it’s too late already, really too late.
Xavier’s POV
It has been four whole months since Jessica became pregnant, her stomach looks very big, so big it seems like she was already on her birthing month but it isn’t, Laura has also been preparing for her own birth anytime soon, her tummy is as big as Jessica’s and that’s what am confused about, we have gone for ultrasound but nothing strange, the baby is doing well and good, apart from the cravings and food that she can’t eat everything else is good.
Aunt and grandfather visits whenever they have the time, right now we sitting in my car, we just finished buying stuffs for our baby, unisex and guess what, am having twins, I don’t know the gender because she wants us to find out the traditional way.
We went to the fuel station to get fuel, I came down and she did too, i looked at her strangely, she smiled at me, i put the nuzzle into my tank to fill it up and when I was done, she took over offering to put it back but she did none of that and just smelled it, it must have smells wonderful for her face to brighten like that, before she got pregnant I know she hated the smell of it but now she doesn’t, i was looking at her incredulously, she smelled it once more before putting it back and got into the car,
“All the strange things you do are not supposed to suprise me but I will say that am shocked, really ”
“Well blame your kids, they are the cause not me, they make their request, and I do it”
“Well their taste are really strange, I hope they don’t get a type of immune system that are immune to it and decides to use it as drinking water instead”
“Hahahaha, don’t worry, it won’t happen okay ”
“I hope so, because it’s really scary”
As if hearing me, one of the babies kicked in her tummy, she took Xavier’s free hand and put on her tummy, I like it when they kick on my hand,
“Shhh, baby here punish your papa for chastising you, don’t mind him”
“Okay, am sorry to mom and you young fellas, just give me a sign if you are craving for another crazy thing”
“Okay papa, we forgive you”
She replied mimicking a baby’s voice, I found it funny and laughed,
“That’s really funny, okay, thanks for forgiving me”
“You are so mean”
“I wasn’t laughing at you cupcakes ”
“You were”
“I wasn’t, okay, alright am sorry, please don’t get upset with me huh?”
“Okay then on one condition?”
“Do you want ice cream and peppered chicken?”
“Yes , that’s what I want ”
“Okay let’s go get it if you would forgive me in turn”
“Yes of course love”
I drove into McDonald’s window ordering spot and got everything I needed then paid and left, she didn’t hesitate at all, she started eating, I don’t mind as long as she is happy. She hums a happy tune as she eats, I smile at her.
Sometimes I get scared, she is so small but her tummy is big, who knows if it will grow more as the month approaches, and she is with twins, I heard it’s hard enough to birth one but she is having twins, I know I shouldn’t be thinking this but if she is in danger, am abandoning the kids and saving her first, as long as she is alive we will have more.
By the time we arrived home, she has eaten everything to half, she came down the car carrying her food and waddled inside like a duck, my cute little duck,
“Don’t fall no one is taking it from you ”
“You might”
She rushed inside regardless of my reminder, that woman will be the death of me, that doesn’t seem so bad either, the butler and a maid can to assist me take the things to the nursery we had already prepared in advance, it’s beautiful with blue and green colours, I know it isn’t the typical baby’s colour but we like it and hope the little ones will like it.
