" oh sorry he's sleeping " Rachael told the caller. "but I can deliver the message when he wakes up. what should I tell him? "
The voice on the other side sighed before adding, " oh just tell him I had a Great time last night and that I love him so much. I cannot wait for tomorrow. "
" what?" Rachael asked her heart racing. "who are you? "
The lady on the other side let a laugh and shouted." am supposed to ask you that, are you his Secretary? "
Now Rachael was slowly pulling the chair and sitting down.she could not talk or say any more. she cut the line and silently walked back to the bed room after composing herself.
she knew her husband was cheating but for the other woman to mock her, it was too much to handle.
She felt a sharp pain in her stomach and later on her water broke. " oh my God not now please" she cried. her Labour had started even when she still had some time before her due date.
struggling , she walked back to wake her husband but all to no avail. h
e just turned looked at her and fall back asleep. she screamed to wake him so that he could help her go to the hospital but all efforts failed..
Struggling, she called her friend who lived two blocks away from her house. "please Monica come and drive me to the hospital. I can't drive and my husband is fast asleep he cannot wake up cause he is drunk". She begged crying as she held her belly in pain.
"Take it easy Rachael" her friend told her. "am coming there ASAP"
"thank you Monica" she whispered " God will bless you"
She slowly packed her bag with baby things and Walked out. Her friend drove in 5 minutes later and she went to lay in the back seat as they drove to hospital.
After hours of Labour, she successfully gave birth to a baby boy at exactly 10 30 in the morning. she looked at him and smilled, " thank you Jesus" she said holding him close to herself.
Monica who had stayed with her all this time had called Joe letting him know his wife was in Labour, but he didn't show up..
She looked at Rachael who's eyes were fixed on her baby and felt pity for her. her friend had changed alot since she got married. she was always cheerful and in high spirits, but now she was all quite and thoughtful. Though she never said much about her marriage, Monica knew her friend was going through a rough time..
" Hey Rachael how are you feeling now?" she asked moving closer to the bed. Rachael smilled.. "I feel better though the doctor insists I stay here for a while so they observe me, they say I have lost a lot of blood.
"you going to be fine" Monica assured her, "the baby looks healthy we thank God.."
"Did you call your husband again?" Monica asked Rachael.. "no Monica.. what for ? If he is not here by now it means he is not interested. let him be, my friend he will come when he feels like it. I don't want to spoil this moment with thoughts of Joe so please if we can stop talking about him" she said holding her wrapped baby closer..
" sure " Monica nodded." what ever you say, let me just get you something to eat before I go home. I need to check on the kids."
"thank you so much" Rachael smiled. "what could I have done without you? " .
" Don't mention it " Monica rubbed her hand. " we are like sisters, we have been together since high school remember?"
" Yeah " she let a smile, " thank you anyways" she added
She sat upright in the hospital bed as she lay the baby down, recalling how she met her husband..
