Chapter 108

"ha, ha, ha" She laughed. Oh daddy, how can you even think that I am pregnant?

"I am not asking you so you can deny it, I am telling you. Because if you are, then I am so happy. Today is the happiest day of my life.

Anna was taken aback at their behavior,            they were acting like they have not had any grand children.

Her eldest brother was married with kids so why were her parents acting up.

"You see, I want loads of children, and you and Andrew were wasting so much time"

Anna had expected them to ask her how she became pregnant, since Andrew was HiV positive, but then, she remembered that they have not been told.

She smiled wearilly at them as her mother made her way towards her to hug her.

"Oh dear, are you pregnant?

Anna moved away from her hold and opened her blouse. "I am not"

She was convincing herself and her parents but deep within her, she knew the truth.

How long was she even planing to continue denying that she was not pregnant.                   It wouldn't be long, before they will find out.

Pregnancy was like a truth that cannot be hidden.

Even those that have tried to deny that they were pregnant or hide their pregnancy from the world have ended up showing it to the world during labour.

At that moment, they not only show their pirtfuded belly but even their hidden area.

"Well if you say so"

Her mother said, not wanting to argue with her.

So what happened to you, why did you take a bed at the hospital too?

Anna thought her parents had given up  trying, why was she still asking her questions.

"I blacked out so I was brought here, but I am fine now; she said and tried to walk past her mother that was now standing in front of   her.

"I am taking Angel for a walk, k don't want her falling sick and blacking out" her father said and took Angel out, it was obvious that the little girl was happy, she hurriedly walk along side her grandfather.                                             Anna and her mother, were soon left all  alone.

She took the single plastic chair near the bed and asked after sitting down.

"Anna, we are alone now, you can tell me, you do not have to lie, you are a married woman, no body will attack you for getting pregnant for your husband?

I know what you are thinking,  you'

are worried that they will think you getting pregnant when your husband is   unconscious, is crazy right?

Anna not laughing, she couldn't laugh even if she wanted to, shealsk couldn't tell her mother that she was pregnant for her gynecologist not her husband, she gave her lies the final force.

"Mother, the doctor herself checked me and said was not pregnant, she said I only needed help, she said I should rest and allow others work, that is what she said.

"Alright then, if you insist.

Anna tried to leave but she heard her mother's voice again.

"I won't argue with you on what I know,.            And if they lack knowledge here, then I I'll take you to another hospital for a proper check up.
