By: Faith Lucky.
Bethel’s Pov:
The sun rays glinted on my face as I opened my eyes slowly and yawned.
Gosh! I still felt so dizzy.
I looked at Ryan who was still fast asleep, his hand wrapped around my waist.
I smiled and planted a kiss on his forehead.
Suddenly, the ugly feeling came again. Oh, God
I jumped out of bed and and ran into the toilet, throwing up immediately.
It made my stomach rumble and I felt like passing out. What the he.ll is this?
Oh, goodness. What could be wrong? Am I really falling sick?
I washed my mouth and face before returning to the bedroom. I felt so weak.
Ryan was already awake but was still lying on the bed.
“Hey love, are you okay? I saw you…rush into the toilet” he said and I panted and moved my hair backwards.
“I’m fine…just needed to do something” I replied frazzledly.
“Um…I’ll get breakfast ready” I added as I took my phone from the bed and left the room.
I took the stairs and went into the kitchen before dialing Nicole’s number. I was beginning to have a cranky feeling.
“Girlfriend!” She screamed as usual.
“Awwn. I feel so lucky you’re the first to call me this morning” she chuckled, but I didn’t have time for jokes.
“Um…Nicole, your…your mum works as a nurse right?” I asked.
“Yeah, of course. She’s a medical nurse. Why? Who’s sick?” She asked curiously.
“No one. Um…would you happen to know the early signs of pregnancy?” I asked and she gasped immediately.
“Bethel!!” She screamed my name,making me pull the phone from my ear immediately.
Oh, God!
“Oh, my geeeee! Bethel!! You’re pregnant!!”
“Will you stop it, Nicole? Stop adding to my problems. I didn’t say I’m pregnant. I’m just…” .
I sighed and itched my hair.
“I’ve been having strange signs lately. I…keep throwing up, I’m always feeling dizzy, I…get hungry easily”
I paused and scoffed.
“I don’t know, Nicole, but they’re just weird and I’m kinda scared. And the worst part is, I haven’t seen my period for the month”. I grouse.
“Oh! Little girlfriend; you’re pregnant, I swear!” She squeaked.
“But….” I shook my head, running out of words.
“I…I wasn’t expecting it, Nicole. What do I do?” I asked, perturbed.
“What do you mean you weren’t expecting it? Did you and Ryan ever used protection?”
“No! But…I’ve seen other married women who doesn’t get pregnant as soon as they get married.”
“Oh! Bethel, grow up. That only happens when the woman is infertile and the man is impotent.
Besides, this should be great news. You’re pregnant for Ryan Winthrop!! Do you know what that means?”
“And that’s the point, Nicole. What if Ryan’s not ready to father a child?”
“What?”
“Yes. I mean, he’s still very young and…we didn’t even talk about it.”
“Stop being childish, Bethel, please. Anyway, we’re not even sure yet. It’s possible it might just be a normal illness.
Why don’t you come over to my house later in the day so we can carry out a blood test? You know, my mum’s hospital is close by” she suggested.
I covered my face with my palm and sighed
“Bethel?” She called.
“Alright. I’ll call you when I’m coming” I replied and ended the call.
I turned around and leaned my back on the kitchen table.
I could feel horse racing going on in my heart. I was so scared.
What if I’m really pregnant? What if there’s a child in me? Am I going to be a mother at this young age?
Oh, God! Am I ready for it?
I was totally scared – of the pains and everything..
It should be great news, but I don’t know why I was really scared. Maybe, its because it’s my first time.
Anyway, just like Nicole said, we might actually be wrong.
Wait!!
An idea suddenly hit at me. Yes! I remembered something.
I rushed out of the kitchen and took the stairs headed back for the room.
Luckily, Ryan wasn’t in anymore and I went straight for my bags and riffled through them till I found it.
The test strip!!
I held it up and panted lightly.
Mum had given it to me two weeks back when she wanted me to run a HPT on myself, but I had refused.
I had hidden the strip in my bag and luckily, it was still here!
I took in a deep breath and went into the toilet with it.
I didn’t even know how to use it. So, I followed the instructions and according to it, I was expected to wee in a bowl or something.
I did and inserted the strip into it – following the instructions.
According to it, one red line meant negative, while two meant positive.
I held the strip and watched it work.
The first red line showed up and I started breathing heavily – vacuously.
Almost immediately, the second red line came up and I gasped and covered my mouth with my palm to prevent me from screaming.
Oh my God!
They were two red lines!!
Does this mean…does this mean it’s positive? Oh my God!
Am I really pregnant?
I leaned on the wall and batted my lashes as I breathed heavily.
I could feel my lungs drying up
Oh, goodness. I couldn’t believe motherhood was staring at me in the face. Could this be possible?
“Bethel’s?” I heard Ryan’s voice from the room and my heart skipped.
Oh, my! What do I do with this?
I quickly rushed to the toilet seat and threw the strip into it and made sure I flushed it down.
“Bethel? Are you there?” He called again.
“Yes. I’m…I’m coming” I replied dazily as I washed my hands.
Nicole’s right. We couldn’t be sure yet. I still needed to run a blood test.
I dried my hands with a napkin before before returning to the room.
There I met Ryan with a cup of coffee.
“Hey, where have you been? I thought you were making breakfast?” He asked as he sipped from the cup.
“Y…Yeah. I just…had to make urgent use of the toilet” I replied, wishing my nervousness wasn’t too obvious.
“Okay then. Anyway, I just got a call from my manager and I need to meet up with him immediately. But, I promise to be back as soon as we’re done, okay?” He said and I just nodded in agreement.
He gulped down the last coffee in the cup. Then, kissed me before going into the toilet.

I stood in front of the mirror as I brushed my hair. My pale image was reflecting back at me.
The two lines on the test strip replayed in my head and made me shiver.
I had no idea what motherhood looked like and now it was staring at me in the face, I couldn’t help but ponder.
I placed my hand on my tummy and sighed. Could there be a life inside of me? Am I really pregnant?
I stared keenly at it and a light smile crept into my lips. It was going to be a beautiful thing – perhaps. I was going to become a mother
Well, I needed to carry out the blood test to be sure.
I brushed my lengthy hair and let it fall freely on my shoulders.
Then, I took my bag and walked out of the room.
I got out to the parking lot and made use of my white Porsche. The driver opened the door for me and one of the guards sat in the front seat with the driver
Ryan had instructed him to always accompany me.
The driver took off and I brought out my phone and texted Nicole:
?I’m on my way.
Then, I exhaled deeply and leaned my back on the car seat.
I guess a new chapter of my life was about to begin.
If really I’m pregnant, I wonder what Ryan’s reaction would be when he gets to know. I just hope he accepts it.
Of course! He will.
I smiled and closed my eyes.
The drive was cool and sweet, but not until the car suddenly screeched to a halt
I jerked my eyes open to see what was going on.
The driver seemed to be struggling with the keys
“What is it?” I asked, perplexed.
“I don’t know, ma’am. I think its a flat tyre” he replied and opened the door, going out of the car.
What the hell? A flat tyre? Now of all times?
I grumbled and itched my head.
Why does this have to happen now?
“Just stay calm, ma’am. We’ll rectify it” the guard said to me and also left the car.
Suddenly, a black van drove on a high speed and parked in front of us
I could see everything clearly from the window and armed boys came out of the van – boys with black mask.
What?
Like a flash, they shot my driver and the guard.
“Arghhhh” I screamed in fright.
Oh my God!!
They came to my door and opened it, dragging me out of the car.
“No! Let me go!!! No!” I screamed, transfixed with fear.
I looked at my driver and guard on the floor. They were both shot on the legs.
Oh, my God! What’s happening?
“Please, let me go! Please” I cried as the boys dragged me towards the van.
Suddenly, they stopped and someone else came out of the van..
My jaws dropped immediately as my eyes dilated in shock
“Jackson?” I called in bewilderment, my voice wavering
It was the greatest shock of my life .
He smiled at me.
“Hello Bethel”.
I stared at him in shock and confusion.
What’s going on? What’s he doing here? I…I haven’t seen him in weeks.
Is he behind this???
“Jackson…” I quivered.
“Don’t worry, Bethel. Its time to sleep” he said calmly and signalled one of the boys beside me and immediately, they placed a napkin over my nose and I passed out.
