Pregnant

Hugh hadn't had a good sleep that night. He went back and forth to the bathroom six times but he didn't bother her. Sleep came to him before the sun rose.

He woke before noon and saw Sheila's note on the side table stating she would be back with his food. A smile danced on Hugh's face, his exhaustion was partly washed away after reading. He got up and found his way to the kitchen. His cousins saw him and his tired face. They whispered and laughed, seeing his haggard look. Hugh understood what they were thinking.

Then a naughty young cousin spoke mindlessly. "What happened last night? ..." Before he could continue, Hugh reprimanded. "Don't you dare think of her as an easy woman. Nothing happened. She slept and I revisited the toilet six times. Anything more to say?" His exhaustion was evident but his voice was firm, telling them not to cross him.
