Lex frowned ‘whats the meaning of that? What do you mean by you are pregnant?’
‘i just found out about it Lex, i’m 6 weeks pregnant’ Ann said excitedly.
Lex looked at her and to Sandra in confusion. Sandra on her part couldn’t control the anger and jealousy in her heart. How dare Ann? How dare she get pregnant for the man she had learnt to love living with him in a just a few days.
LEX: I…..really?
ANN: yes, Lex, aren’t you happy about it?
SANDRA: what’s there to be happy about? She didn’t even know when she blurted it out but it was out before she could stop herself.
Ann looked at her ‘why did you say that?’
Then she laughed loudly and hugged Ann ‘i’m so happy for you Ann, so when are you and Lex getting married?’
LEX: Don’t even go there, marriage is not in my agenda right now.
He stood up, picked his car keys and kissed Ann lightly on her lips ‘I’ve got to be somewhere sweet-pea, we would celebrate this when i get back’
He smiled at Sandra and left.
What nonsense!
He couldn’t even blow her a kiss or something, anyways, they weren’t dating right?
Lex got into his car and sighed. He wasn’t ready for this. He wasn’t ready to be a father right now. Ann still had a lot of work to do for him, if she gets pregnant now then she won’t be able to do everything. Like seducing some men he would want her to, doing stressful jobs and all that.
No! This mustn’t happen. He thought of convincing Ann to terminate the pregnancy that they could still have more babies in the future when his revenge mission must have been completed and they get the hell out of the country. But he knew it was going to be impossible.
In the fifteen years of having carnal knowledge of each other, he knew Ann always wanted to get pregnant. He didn’t know why.
She sometimes wondered if he was going to abandon her one day and go after other ladies once he was tired of having sex with her and so she had always wanted to get pregnant and tie him down with the pregnancy, reason why she always wanted to get pregnant.
He knew this was her plan all along.
He loved Ann, he really did and there was nothing on planet earth that was going to stop him from marrying her. That was her compensation for all the troubles she had gone through for him.
He started the engine and drove straight to the hospital where Ciara was admitted.
