Lanre could not believe her ears. Did K actually say all she just heard with her ears or she was dreaming. But then he said it. He pushed her aside and laid on the bed. He asked her if she was hungry and would want to eat anything. Lanre shook her head. She has lost all appetite. Even the appetite to sit or stand. She didn’t even have the appetite to sleep either. Despite her telling him she did not want anything, K ordered for some food to be delivered to them.
Lanre was forced to eat when the food was brought to their hotel room. And the following morning, K took her to a private hospital to check how the baby was doing. It was the best hospital in Lagos. K didn’t mind who sees him. A reporter may follow his moves and take snaps for all he cares. He was no longer afraid of what anyone would do. He was already taking steps to eliminate Lanre’s enemies. The first person he would be taking down was Mrs. Okafor. He already has a surprise package well prepared for the woman.
As for Ify, he would handle her once he was fine with Mrs. Okafor. Nobody will ever get to manipulate who he will be with again. When they got to the hospital, they were given special treatment, kudos to wealth and influence. Most especially that of his father.
A test was carried out on Lanre to confirm the pregnancy which came out positive. They carried out a scan and it showed the baby was healthy and in good shape. K was delighted when he watched the single foetus swimming in its mother’s womb from the screen. He was so excited. The fact that it was his child. He seemed to be fitting into the fatherhood already even before the foetus could develop into a full baby and be born.
“We will be able to determine the sex of the baby in the next three weeks. But the baby is healthy as you can see. And it is a single foetus”. The doctor said. K laughed. He was happy. The doctor didn’t know when he joined K to laugh. K’s laugh was just contagious at the moment. It was only Lanre who didn’t join in the laugh.
“I’m going to be a father!” K whispered into Lanre’s ears. He helped her drop her top and lifted her off the bed on which she was lying down. He kissed her neck.
“You did made me feel bad yesterday when you said I could not possibly father a child. I wonder what was your aim”. K said. He then turned to the doctor and asked him if there was anything left. The doctor told him he would only have to print out the scan result and hand it over to them. They waited a few more minutes for the result to be printed out. From the result, K was sure he was the one responsible for Lanre’s pregnancy and this was without doubt.
