Decisions

It was a difficult birth, the baby in breach, with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

Kaoma worked through the wee hours of the morning, slowly maneuvering the baby until it was free and managed to survive.

Surprisingly, before the woman passed out from the pain of such an intense labor she said to Kaoma. 

"Thank you for saving my baby's life. I promised to deliver a message to you from your nannies. 

They said your sister is safe and sound and they have hidden her at Mary Madeline's Convent of Mercy."

After the last word, the coachman's wife passed out utterly exhausted. 

Her sister was okay, there was no need to rush to save her thanks to her nannies who never stopped loving Kaoma. 

Someday she would make Maxixe keep his word and reunite the entire family.

Watching the coachman's wife give birth made tears come to her eyes easily.
