Recalling what I wanted to ask Blondie, I turned to him, ignoring the laughing Reddy.
"If babies don't kick themselves out of the stomach, how do the mothers give birth to them? "
I never for once learnt anything concerning procreation because I thought I won't need it, but it turns out I need them more now than I've ever thought.
"They're given birth to", Blondie looked uncomfortable as he said those words so I let it slide, thinking in me to ask Kwofo when I get the chance.

It's being a week since my mates came for the meet together, and they're returning today.
School resumes tomorrow, so we will meet there, it's not like we're going to be separated for long.
Blondie and Reddy are getting ready to leave, but I don't want them to go,
I feel like crying and begging them not to go, but I know if they cancel their return, their parents will think something wrong, Elder Okwuonu will make it all the more worse if he's to open his mouth to sport all the rubbish he have on mind.
"Blacky stop looking at us like that, we will still meet tomorrow", Reddy bends to innocently peck me on my lips, but I latched on to his mouth.
Too greedy to let go.
"Blacky", he says when he managed to free himself from my clutches, "you know we will be late of you continue on, and you Know how much the werewolf elder likes to talk", he wills me to understand what he's saying, but I turned my face to the wall to show him I don't care of his words.
" I know you don't love me, it's of no use trying to pretend to be what you're not Reddy. It's okay,y heart might be broken, but it will fully heal", I fake sobbed.
Am not beyond playing dirty to get exactly what I want, am certainly not beyond that.
To get what I want, I must do everything possible.
"Please don't cry Blacky, you know we love you", Blondie climbed on to the bed with Reddy, "please stop crying, you Know it's not good for the baby".
" Not good for the baby? not even your baby?", I fake sobbed the more, " you don't like me anymore, and that's why you're leaving without a proper good bye", I turn my face to the wall to signify exactly how angry I am with them.
" You know that's not true Blacky, you know we really love you, so much you tears touch us", Blondie tried to turn my face to face them, but I stubbornly kept my face to a side.
"Words. Talking is all you know to do Blondie, you talk Without showing. Am tired of your talks! you don't love me", I cleaned my face, to make provisions for the next barge of tears.
"What should we do to make you believe us love? what should we do to make you aware of our undying love for you?" Reddy asked.
