Chapter 45

Oh my God!.

Nathaniel hung up immediately, not listening to what his mom was saying again. Everything was silent between them, only their breathing and the tick of the grandfather's clock could be heard as he took in Angelina's mortified expression.

Didn't she want a child? he thought as his heartbeat lub dub lub as he was panicking inside.

And he had released inside her every time they made love.

Fuck!He made a big mistake, he wasn't always thinking with his brain every time.

He gulped, "I'm so sorry" he blurted out, he didn't know why he said that but he needed to because he thought he was wrong. "it wasn't intentional, it happened in the spore of pleasure" he tried to read her face but he couldn't because she wasn't giving anything away.

Fuck!.

"By tomorrow, I'm making appointments with one of the best doctors to check on you... I'm sorry" he raised her head to look at her vacant eyes, "anything that happens is my fault" he muttered, "Please, don't blame yourself". He was the older and mature between them, he supposed to be responsible and ask but he didn't. He was willing to take the responsibility and blame and he heard sex with a virgin without protections were 70% lead to pregnancy.

It was his joy to have half of him and her growing in her he didn't know whether she was already. He couldn't promise to be the best father but he knew he would do everything in his power to become one.

Angelina didn't know what to say, she didn't have problems with having kids now. She loved children, she loved the natural scents of babies, their smiles, the cute facial expressions, and how they could wrap their tiny hands around her pinky finger. She loved everything but she didn't know whether he wanted a child now. She knew they'd talked about children but she didn't know whether he wanted so soon.

If he didn't want and I'll take care of him or her by myself, her hands automatically went to her flat stomach protectively.

The female instinct of being a mother was kicking in even though she did not know whether she was pregnant or not. She was going to love and care for the child how parents are supposed to care for their children.

She hoped he would accept the baby because a baby was made by a person. Babies are made between two people.

Angelina didn't know what to say, every time she wanted to open her mouth to talk, it was like something was blocking her throat.

Her ear perked when she heard him apologize, she didn't know why he was apologizing for what both of them were guilty of.

She sighed inaudible, waiting for the inevitable statement from, she would take care of the baby but when she heard him saying he would take responsibility for everything and she shouldn't blame herself, she was shocked.

"Please talk," she heard his pleading voice. What did he want her to say? She was shocked. She didn't expect the statement from him because his long silence before the early apology made her brain think more than necessary.

"You want the baby?" she dragged slowly, stuttering in between her questions.

"Yes of course" he proclaimed, "Anything from you is a blessing from God" he answered.

"I thought you didn't want a child now" Nathaniel beat her to her speech.

"What?" her eyes widened in surprise.

"I was scared and panicking, I thought you still want to wait for some time before…. " Angelina didn't let him finish his statement before wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Oh thank you" her voice was muffled as her head was buried at the crook of his neck, "I thought you aren't ready to be a father now," Angelina said, sobbing, "I was scared" she blurted out, "… no" she shook her head, "I was terrified of your rejection," she said while Nathaniel tightened his arms that was hugging her.

"I can never reject anything from you especially the gift of me being a father" He kissed her forehead reassuringly.

After some minutes, Angelina raised her head and stared at her handsome husband before he wiped the tears stained from her face.

"But wait ooo…." she raised her brows, "I'm not pregnant now, or am I already pregnant?" her face scrunched into confusion as she touched her stomach then looked to Nathaniel who looked dumbfounded.

"Uhn?".

"We need to see before making a conclusion or assumption" she mumbled, "We need to buy PT (pregnancy test) to check," she said then quickly, Nathaniel stood up from the bed, taking his car keys and some cash from his wallet.

Nathaniel smiled at Angelina sweetly then pecking her forehead before going to the pharmacy to get a PT.

Angelina giggled, she was lucky to have Nathaniel. Her husband was caring, attentive, and a soul mate. She touched her flat stomach in thought, what was it like to be pregnant?. She could not wait to visit the motherhood stage.

She stood up wobbly and went to the shower to clean off the dried sweat from her body. She changed into one of his shirts and put on a biker short as she walked to the kitchen to feed her empty stomach. The cottage was empty, no workers or anyone was around. Well, the cottage was only for her and her husband but the cleaners always come to clean during the midday. She took the chips plastic and a glass of juice, humming while swaying her hips gently to the rhythm of the tone.

She sat comfortably on the couch with fries dangling in between her lips and then took the remote to change the channel when her phone rang. She put the remote down and went to the bedroom to take her phone.

"Papa" she chirped excitedly, seeing her father's face on the screen.

"My princess" Richard smiled, looking at his daughter who was everyday glowing and radiating. He couldn't thank God enough because his prayers were answered, his daughter was happy. His daughter's happiness was his. Every father's prayer and happiness is to see his daughter being happy in her marriage.

"How are you feeling now?" Richard asked, seeing the color has returned to her face.

"I'm okay now" she smiled brightly at her father. She didn't know who she could give the worrying award to Nathaniel or her father. Her father almost called her umpteenth time asking her how she was. She liked the rain but the rain didn't like her, just a drop of rain she would be shivering in cold and sneezing.

"Are you sure?" her father asked for the umpteenth time again.

"Yes papa, Nathaniel is taking good care of me" she grinned, putting another chip in her mouth.

"You'll make me grow white hair before time" she rolled her eyes at her father's antics who touched his golden dyed hair dramatically.

"You are!" she giggled," an old man with a tint of white" she laughed.

"Shhh" her father shushed her while she rolled her eyes dramatically.

"You don't tell a man with white hair he has white hair, it bruises the ego" her father shushed her playfully while she shook her father.

"Ego indeed!" She wrinkled her nose then pointed the potato chips she was eating to her father. "You want?".

"I'm okay, just finish eating rice".

"Okay" She saluted comically, "how is the situation down there?" she asked, it has been a long time since she listened to news about her country.

"Good, everything in God's hand" her father responded. Richard told her about the problem going on, how the herdsmen were killing people, fighting among the people, the rise in the cost of foods, and the covid-19 update. She nodded her head and whispered a quick prayer for her country. A united country at the brick of breaking.

"I didn't see your husband," Richard asked when he didn't hear or see Nathaniel.

"Oh, he went to get…" she whipped her head to the door when she heard it open, "there he is" she waved the phone at Nathaniel who was removing his sandals.

"Hello, Nate my boy" Richard grinned at him.

After exchanging pleasantries with his father-in-law, Nathaniel gave her the polythene bag he brought from the pharmacy and he explained how it had been used to her.

Nathaniel bit his fingers as he paraded outside the bathroom, waiting for Angelina to break the news. He was feeling giddy, happy, and anticipated the result.

Angelina came out of the bathroom with the wet PT and held her in his arms waiting for ten minutes for the PT result.

They were in each other's embrace, looking at the PT that was on the table and the clock. Ten minutes seemed like an hour.

As the timer ding ten minutes up, they held in their breathing as they looked at the PT changed and read...

Negative.

Angelina's shoulders slumped dejectedly as Nathaniel rubbed her shoulder. "It's okay," He kissed her ear. "We have many times to make it up to positive," he reassured her. Even though he was a little bit sad by the result.

"Yeah" she agreed, turning her face to him as she stood on her toes and pecked his lips.

Nathaniel didn't let her escape his clutch and pulled her closer, kissing the air out of her.

She moaned breathlessly, grinding on his hand length, getting herself wetter for him.

She wanted him and needed him now, she unbuttoned her shirt away, her nipples erected for attention as she buried her hands under his polo, touching his hard chest.

Her body buzzing with excitement as her stomach sizzled anticipatedly for him, "Let's make a baby" She whispered like a wish to the star and Nathaniel gently carried her to the bedroom.

___****___

It was time to go back home. Nathaniel's business has been piling up for him. Many contracts have been waiting to be approved by him with some pending approval. A perk of being the owner of an enterprise. and school has been waiting for Angelina back home. She was in her final year and she was needed in school to sign her paper for internship.

Since the day they saw the PT results, they always making love, sex, and fuck like rabbits in heat.

Angelina picked the bracelet the woman gave her from the table and put it in her back before glancing back at the cottage again. She was going to miss the cottage. It has her good memories and she planned to come for vacation with her family.

They arrived at the airport and saw aunty Sally, Hayden, Eric and Erica already waiting for them.

She felt herself getting teary, she would miss them and the county.

Aunty Sally wiped a lone tear from her face, sniffled, "Come here child" she said, opening her arms as she hugged Angelina. "Take good care of yourself child, I'll come to visit you soon" She kissed her forehead.

Hayden's eyes were glassy, "I hate goodbyes" he scoffed, "Goodbye suck" he sniffed, "I'll miss you my SpongeBob" He smiled at her. He took her like an elder sister, he confounded her.

"Me too Squidward" She muttered pinching his cheek.

If Angelina was told that she would have people that would mean so much to her in the past, she would have argued but now, she had a mother figure - aunty Sally, a younger brother - Hayden, an elder brother - Eric, and a friend - Erica.

Eric ruffled her hair playfully, "we'll talk" he raised his hand and hugged her.

Nathaniel walked to aunty Sally's place, giving Angelina time to say goodbye with her friends. "I've been doing some thinking lately," she sighed while Nathaniel hummed for her to continue," I think Hayden doesn't deserve being separated from his family, he needs his family and I need to come back home," she said, looking nothing in particular.

"That's good Aunty, everyone misses you," he said and hugged her, already missing her warmth and pastries scent.

Nathaniel patted Hayden's back softly, "take care of yourself boy," he said.

"I'm not a boy," Hayden uttered, "I'm a guy" he corrected.

"Okay guy" Nathaniel smiled.

"Take good care of my elder sister" he mumbled, "if she gives a complaint about you, I'm going to break all your two hundred and six bones" Hayden quickly said and turned his back to him not wanting to see the tears. She was the only friend he had, a true friend.

"Okay, I'll" he responded.

Erica was still talking to Angelina when Eric decided to go wait for others in the car but was stopped by Nathaniel. Nathaniel walked languidly toward him, "Thank you" he said and Eric stared at him dumbfounded.

"Thank you for your advice, she told me" he filled in and his eyes twinkled in remembrance.

Nathaniel stretched his hand out to shake him but Eric stared at his hand to his face skeptical. When realization droned on him, "Oh, I mean a peaceful handshake" he said.

Nathaniel put his hand at Angelina's back, guiding her to the private jet. Angelina whipped her head to the back and looked at them then waved her hand.

Not a bye but a goodbye, she whispered to herself.
