Chapter 2 Am going to be a father

Nine months in Love❣️❣️ ❤️

Episode two (Am going to be a dad)

#Ken_Pov

I fell down tiredly on my bed. Gosh today was so hectic at the office. I had too many client to attend to.

"I need a break. Yeah, something like a vacation"

I picked up my phone to check my emails and then I remembered the pregnant lady.

I was supposed to text her.

Gosh I wish these was all a dream. I don't want to be a father now. I mean I still have my life ahead of me. Still have a lot to achieve and being a father to a child isn't on the list.

What if she's lying. Infact I know she's lying. That pregnancy can't be mine. I am always careful when it comes to this kind of stuff.

"Then take a DNA test" my inner mind said to me.

While a part of me was saying she's lying, another part of me was saying she may be saying the truth.

I sighed.

"Let's get this over and done with" I said as I picked up my phone.

Gosh, it's two weeks already and no calls or text from Mr. Ken.

I thought he said he wants to have a DNA test, so why the heck is he delaying.

I picked up my phone one more time but I didn't see anything.

I was getting angry and impatient already. I hope this man hasn't run away because I promise I am going to find him out.

I was engrossed in my thought that I didn't hear my mom come into my room.

"Lis, are you okay" she asked as she sits near me. She calls me Lis for short.

"Yeah, mom. Just waiting for him to text or call"

"You know I don't mind taking care of you till you put to bed. After all I am your mother"

"I know Mom. But it's hard already for you and I don't want to burden you with my mistake"

"Don't call your child a mistake. I know you made a reckless mistake but that doesn't mean your child is a mistake. Instead see it as a gift from God"

"Okay mom I have heard. Anyways he needs to take responsibility too. He's the father after all"

Just then I heard a beep from my phone.

I checked and it was from an unknown number.

I opened it and there it was, the message I was waiting for.

"Meet me at the square park tomorrow by 8am, I will take you to the hospital where we will take the DNA test" it read.

I scoffed. Not even a "how are you? How is the baby doing" I wonder the kind of father he is going to be to my child.

"Is that him" my mother asked.

"Yes. Am meeting him tomorrow by 8am"

"Okay. Don't worry everything will be fine dear" she said, trying to assure me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Next day

"You are late" he said

"Hey, am just five minutes late okay. And by the way there was traffic" she said.

He looked at me. "You look like you are sick"

"Oh, so now you care"

"Whatever. Get into the car let's go. I am a busy man and i don't have time to spare"

I scoffed. What a jerk. I entered the car and we left for the hospital.

We got to the hospital and the test was carried out. Luckily for us, the result didn't take time before it was ready.

We were called into the doctor's office.

"Good day Mr. and Mrs..........."

The looked at us waiting for us to complete it.

Ken looked at me and then at the doctor.

"Uhm, doctor she isn't my wife. It's kinda complicated"

"Ohh, well let's proceed" He brought out the result and looked at it.

"From what I have here, it says you are the father of the child"

A smile creeped on to my face. I turned to look at him and it looked like he wasn't happy.

"Uhm, doctor are you sure of what you are saying. I mean you didn't get the result all mixed up right"

What?! Is this dude for real. Even without the DNA result, I knew he was the father of my child.

"Very sure, Mr. Ken. I have the result here with me" the doctor said and handed the result to him.

He looked at it as if trying to fish out a mistake from it.

"Thank you doctor" he looked at me "Let's go"

He didn't say a word to me until we got to the park.

"So what now" I asked him.

#Ken_Pov

"So what now?" She asked.

I can't still believe I am going to be a father. What the heck do I know about fathering a child.

I turned to look at her and I saw her staring at me.

"You are going to be receiving a weekly allowance of N100, 000. That should be okay"

"OMG, N100, 000. That's a whole lot of money for a weekly allowance. Well what do you expect from a man who is stinkingly rich"

"Don't call me or text me. Use the money and take care of yourself and the child. I don't even want to know when you put to bed. If it's possible, just disappear"

"Wooh, is that how callous you are. You aren't even going to see your own child" she said.

"look woman, I don't know what you want from me. You said you are pregnant for me, okay I accept. I will play my part by providing for your needs till you give birth. After that, you are on your own. Don't expect anything from me again"

She eyed me.

"Fine. I too wouldn't like to see you too. Just make sure you fulfill your promise and I promise not to disturb you anymore"

"Good, we have a deal then"

"Just one more thing before you go please" she pleaded.

"What is it"

"Can you pls buy me that ice cream over there. Am seriously craving for it. Please I don't have enough money now or better still you can deduct it from my weekly allowance"

"You want ice cream? Are you still a kid"

"It is not me. It's what the baby is craving" she said giving him a puppy look.

I didn't move.

"If you don't but me that ice cream, I will make a scene here. Trust me I would"

I shaked my head, brought out some cash and gave to her.

She collected it gleefully, rushed to the ice cream shop and purchased an ice cream.

I stood there looking at her, all smiling and licking her ice cream like a kid.

I had to admit, she's beautiful.

"Well thank God the mother to my child is beautiful"

Wait, did he just admit he is the father.

"Am going to be a father" he said slowly as the realization dawned on him and he didn't know when he smiled. ❤️
