An Idea

    The ride back home was silent except for Kulture singing along loudly to music playing on the stereo. Owen listened to her sing which took his mind off a bit.

   They got home and the fare was paid by Owen after which he got almost all the shopping bags leaving Kulture to carried a few of them. 

  "That's a gentleman attitude"

Kulture thought as both walked inside.They got inside and found Mrs King sitting on the couch with baby Claire sleeping in her arms.

 "Claire don't like to sleep on the bed"

Kulture voiced, sitting down.

"I think the bed is not comfortable for her. What have you got in there?"

Mrs King pointed towards the shopping bags, her face showing curiosity

"Oh, these are nothing. They are clothes and stuff for Claire"

Owen answered then sat down too.

  "Oh! That's very thoughtful of you. I would have loved for Dr Matthew to look her over but I am not sure it's possible today."

Mrs Kingston said sadly looking down at her feet. 

  "I know right. I wished my contract was over with Sunset, it would be alot easier but not to worry, I would not last long there. I bet you are staying home to look after her," She stated and looked around" by the way, where is Francis?"

She could not help asking.

  "He got a call and he would be going to the hospital from there to see Mercy."

Mrs Kingston responded then stood up.

  "I better go lay her down, my hands are aching already. it's been years since I have done this kind of thing"

Mrs Kingston said, walking out of the living room.

  "Mom, we will need to set her bed first. Owen bought a fixable cot for Claire"

Kulture said and stood up, she gathered some of the shopping bags, making sure to get the ones that had the cot pieces with her then followed her mom.

  Owen thought for a while then grabbed his phone and left the house not without activating his Google map.

  He wanted to tell them he is leaving for the hospital but thought against it and since he doesn't know the way to the hospital, he has to use Google maps. He just suddenly had this urge to go to the hospital.

  He got into his car, stepped on the accelerator then zoomed off.

Back Kulture's room...

   Few minutes had passed and they did not see Owen.

  "I thought he was coming after you?"

Mrs Kingston questioned as she watched her daughter put the last piece together.

  "I thought so too. Now! look at this, Claire's bed is good to go, isn't she lucky?"

Kulture exclaimed and clapped happily.

   When she turned around, she noticed her mother smiling.

  "She is, she is not up to a day here and she has got so much already."

Mrs Kingston remarked then reached out to touch Claire "Can you believe you have got a bed already and new clothes and food. You are not going to lack" And as if Claire heard Mrs Kingston, she stirred and made a baby sound but did not open her eyes.

"Mom,lay her down, let me get the rest of the things"

Kulture said then got up and headed out the door. 

  Getting to the living room, she was surprised to see it empty.

  "Maybe he stepped out"

She thought with a shrug of her shoulders then picked the rest of the shopping bags and left the living room to her bedroom.

  Tasha's point of view...

     To think Lizzy was going to be a weapon for me was the foolish thought ever. So Zain isn't responsible for her pregnancy and she had the audacity to pin it on him. 

  I shook my head in shame.

 What was I even thinking, trying to get on an understanding with a total stranger who just arrived with a pregnancy and declared it's Zain's. And for Zain to leave her here made me believe the baby is his.

  Since I wasn't going to use Lizzy, I had to think of other plans. And since I had an idea, I might as well start working on it

Zain can't have my girlfriend, it's not possible.

  A phone ring brought me out of my train of thoughts. As I checked the caller ID, It was from Felix. I declined the call and put it back in my pocket, which I regretted a moment later because it rang again and I had to bring it out.

   "What the hell is wrong with you!" I yelled.

"Easy tiger, it's me Tessy"

  I blinked when realization hit me. Tessy is the one calling this time around. My bad, I did not get to check the caller because I had thought it's Felix.

   "Sorry girlie, I had thought it's another person. How are you though?"

"I am good. let me guess, it was a boy"

She said nonchalantly, like boys don't matter.

  "Your guess is right. I have been expecting your calls"

"Sorry I got a little busy. We hung out today and I did not see you. Trucy said you are at Reben Castle consoling your best friend who lost a sister?"

  "You heard right" I smiled then sighed.

"Thanks for reaching out. I will soon be back, probably we will hang out"

"Alright, I would look forward to it. Bye then" And the call went off.
