Episode 3

Leo couldn’t sleep that night, the constant complaints and nagging and crying from his wife Rachael were so discomforting to him. At a point he shouted from his sleep

“Oh oh God! Why are you doing this? Why won’t you let me sleep in peace?”

“Sleep in peace, sleep in peace and rest in peace. How can you sleep in peace? You’ve been sleeping in peace for years now and you still want to continue sleeping. Sleep, sleep Leo, sleep”. She increased her crying

Reverend Leo who was already confused put his hands on his head as he sat down watching his wife.

“Since you don’t want me to sleep, what then do you want me to do? I have told you that God will bless us with a child in His time, what else do you want me to do? He asked.

“When is His time going to come? When? Tell me! She cried out.

“Okay honey, stop crying. Stop crying,” he held her close and tried to cheer her up. “Doctor Wale and nine other doctors that you’ve asked us to see have assured us that we are fine and nothing is wrong with us and we will have our own kids. Why not relax and let’s wait and you will be surprised how God will bless us.”

Rachael: I’ve been waiting, I can’t wait anymore, I can’t wait any longer.

“All this stress is not even good for you, it can prevent you from even getting pregnant. Why not relax and rest and soon…….

Before he could finish his statement, Rachael interrupted him

“Relax what? Rest what? Relax till when? How old am I? Which stress? I’m asking you which stress?”

Leo: oh k, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Okay, since it has gotten to this stage, let’s go to an orphanage and adopt a little baby, few months or even weeks old, the child will be ours while we wait on the Lord to bless us.

Rachael: Don’t Tell me that, don’t mention adoption to my ears. I am fertile, I know I am and I can carry my own child. I do not need to adopt any child. I want the experience too, I want to know the feelings of being pregnant. So just kill that adoption thought completely. It’s not for me.

“So what do you want me to say, what do you want me to do? I’m not the manufacturer of children. What do you want ? I say this you say no, I say that you say no. What then do you want me to say or do? I’m tired and I need to sleep abeg”

Reverend Leo drew the blankets over his head and laid down to sleep, turning his back on her. Rachael looked at her husband for sometime and then finally spoke up.

“I want you to speak with Mr Alfred”.

Leo was not looking at her but he wasn’t sleeping either, he just laid motionless staring at the wall. He heard what his wife had said but he didn’t say anything because he didn’t understand her point. Rachael continued.

Rachael: Are you sleeping?

Leo said nothing.

Rachael: Did you hear what I said?

Leo remained silent.

Rachael: I know you are awake so answer me, (This time she hit him strongly on his back)

Leo:oh my God, what is it? What do you want from me? Why can’t you just let me sleep?

Rachael: I said I need you to speak with Mr Alfred.

Leo: I heard you the first time, what am I speaking with Alfred for?

Rachael: I need you to beg him for me.

Leo: Beg him for what? (He asked not understanding what she was trying to say)

Rachael: I need you to beg him to sleep with me and get me pregnant.

Leo was surprised and shocked.

“What??” He shouted!
