Hi, here is my entry.
PART ONE
Catherine stood by the window thinking about the words her mother-in-law had said earlier on, this issue of not having a male child is really getting to her and this was her last hope.
The doctor had said she shouldn't try to get pregnant again after she is delivered of the baby in her presently. After giving birth to her four lovely girls through caesarian section on four different occasion, the doctor had she didn't have much opportunity left.
The pressure from her in-laws and the society on having a male child is just too much to bear and had really been weighing her down, she thought.
Catherine discovered she was pregnant eight months ago, she refused to perform a scan to determine the sex of the baby because she wasn't sure what would happen if the result came out negative again. She prayed to God once more for a male child so as to be relieved from societal pressure and stigma.
Catherine was brought back to reality when she felt a fluid-like substance rolling down her leg, this was followed by a sharp pain. No, this can't be happening she shouted, I am only 8 months gone.
Catherine opened her eyes to find herself on the hospital bed, a nurse was standing beside her checking her vitals.
You are finally awake, how are you feeling ma'am? The nurse asked
What happened to me? Catherine said
Well, you were rushed to the hospital by your husband and we had to carry out an operation on you so as to save you and your baby. The nurse said
On hearing the word baby, Catherine's heart skipped a beat.
Congratulations madam, you have been delivered of a baby....... The nurse said.
