The president welcomed us like a king. He invited
my favourite band and they woahed us with their
beautiful performance. He hugged me for a long
time and later his hand on my Tommy before he
started his prayer session. Kelvin was exactly like
his father. The father and son did nothing to hide
their joy as they pampered me and turned my
Tommy into a mirror. My mother in-law also could
not stop asking after my health. She practically
wanted me to tell her all the food I had eaten
ever since we left Abuja. She went on and on to
give me the full list of all the nutritious food best
for pregnant women. I was eventually saved from
the long chat with my mother in-law by Loretta.
She was all over me and wanted to be alone with
me. I immediately knew that loads of gist was
waiting for me. I excused myself and made to
leave with Loretta when the president called me
back.
He walked up to us and said “Nancy my dear, I
have decided to throw a welcome party for you.
It’s won’t be an elaborate one but I will try my
best to make it special. All you have to do is to
go shopping and rest. At exactly 8:00pm, I want
you fully ready for the event. I will personally
walk you down to the party”
I smiled and looked at Kelvin for a clue about the
unannounced party, instead of giving me an
answer, he only stared at the ceiling to avoid my
gaze. I thanked the president for his kind gesture
and went into the house with Loretta.
Loretta Welcomed me with lots of gist. Everything
she talked about revolved around Jordan. Without
been told, I knew she was madly in love with him
but I wasn’t sure Jordan felt the same way for
her. I shared in her joy and gave her candid
advice before we decided to go shopping.
The rest of the day was filled with nutritious talk
with my mother in-law, relationship talk with
Loretta and kids talk with Kelvin. The whole Smith
family made my day exceptional fun.
**********************************
At exactly 8:00pm, I was beautifully dressed in a
cream dinner gown. Everyone had been busy with
one thing and the other but I was left out of the
whole surprise package. I sat in front of the mirror
and admired myself as I await the president to
walk me to the party as he had promised. My
heart skipped a bit when I heard a soft knock on
the door, I loudly said “come in” and Kelvin
walked in. I did nothing to hide my
disappointment. I frowned my face and looked
into the mirror without sparing Kelvin a glance.
“looks like someone is disappointed to see me.
So it’s my dad you want to see? I think someone
has been cheating on me, I need to contact my
lawyer” Kelvin said and made a funny face. I
burst into laughter and told him to go ahead.
Kelvin helped me up and made my eyes meet. He
rubbed my hands gently and said “I promise to
love you, no matter what baby”
His beautiful promise made me blush and I ended
up in his shoulder. I was still enjoying the sweet
scent of his perfume when the president walked
in.
He cleared his throat loudly and said “son, I’m
ready to take the mother of my grandchildren.
Please make way”
Kelvin smiled and said “dad, want to be alone
with the mother of my children. Please stay away”
I could not help but laugh at the father and son
jokes. I kissed Kelvin lightly and walked up to the
president. He offered me a hand and walked me
out of the room while Kelvin followed closely from
behind.
*********
I was surprised to meet a dark room when we
arrived the large livingroom. I could hear the
underground sound of music but I could not see
where the music was coming from. Funny enough,
the president had left my side and I could not
locate Kelvin in the dark.
“Kelvin?. ……. Dad?. ……. Mom?.. ….. Loretta?……”
I called out to everybody. I was about reaching
for my phone when the whole place was light up.
“WFT!!!!” was the only statement I could scream
out as I saw a full house.
“how did you pull this off? ” I asked Kelvin as I
stared at everyone in surprise. Everybody that
mattered to me was present. My foster parent,
Khloe,Josh, my dad, his wife,their daughter, uncle
Mike, aunty Nike, Lizzy, her son and Jordan.
I was lost on who to hug first, I wanted to hold all
of them at a time. I rushed at my foster parent
first and then my dad before I went into Liz arms
and then Khloe and Jordan. Everyone was
glowing and their presence made me feel like the
happiest woman on earth. They all treated me
like a queen and took turn to congratulate me.
After the surprise prank, the president made a
toast to safe delivery and we all held our glasses
to the sky. We all talked and laughed like one big
family. Theres no fun without family!
I was hosting with Khloe and Josh when I felt a
tape on my shoulder. I turned back and it was
Jordan. He looked at me with surprise and I
teased him by asking if he would love to take me
back regardless of my condition. Jordan laughed
and held my hand. I was lost on what he was up
to but I allowed him have his way. Jordan stared
at me for awhile before he suddenly went on his
knees right In front of me. I looked down at him
with a “what are you doing” look and he smiled.
Jordan joined his hands together and said
“Nancy, I want to use this medium to apologize to
you for all the pains I caused you. I know you’ve
forgiven me a long time ago but I still want to
apologize properly. I heard about the video your
mom left behind and I realized, I had caused you
more pain than happiness. About coming in
between you and Nelly, I’m so sorry. About trying
trying to come in between you and Kelvin, I’m so
sorry and about breaking your heart severally,
please forgive me”
Jordan said looked down at my feet. I was left in
shock with his words. I could not help but feel
lucky. I looked around and saw all eyes on us,
though I was a bit shy, I took Jordan’s hand and
helped him up. I smiled and said “I have forgiven
you a long time ago”
He took me into his arms and said “thank you”
repeatedly. Everyone clapped and praised Jordan
for doing the right thing, I eventually released
myself when I saw the look on Kelvin’s face.
Jordan hugged everybody in the house and
stopped right in front of Loretta after the all round
hug. He stared at her for awhile before he went
on one knee and pulled out a shinning ring from
his b—-t pocket.
The whole room was silent as everybody looked
at the love Birds with surprise. Jordan held the
ring out and said “without minding the number of
people here and without considering the fact that
I might be rejected again. I want to use this
medium to tell you that I love you from the bottom
of my heart and my life is incomplete without you.
Don’t make me ask the popular question before
you will scream yes baby! ”
Loretta scan the whole room before she brought
her finger forward and said “yes” to Jordan. The
whole room was filled with excitement as the love
birds kissed. they were congratulated by
everybody, and Jordan was welcomed into the
family. I also walked up to Kelvin and gave him a
quick kiss before we were interrupted by Josh.
“looks like today is world surprise day” I said as
Josh walked to the center of the room. He held
his glass up and said
“ehm…. I want to say I’m super grateful for the
family I married into. I see the way you all come
together and celebrate and I wish for nothing but
a great family like this. Without a long speech, I
want to use this medium to inform you all that my
wife and I are expecting our bundle of joy as
well”
“yes oo” Khloe shouted in addition to Josh’s
speech as he walked up to him. They shared a
hug and fed each other with drink. There was
shout of excitement everywhere. The day was so
perfect and fulfilling.
We all hugged and celebrated each other as we
danced and partied. Everybody was filled with
excitement. Nothing could be more excited than
have a family filled with laughter and joy. The
party continued till late at night when everybody
was sleepy.
That very day was a day to remembered by the
Smiths, the Stanleys and the Williams.
