Didn't you hear me? I said I am pregnant, I said bursting into tears. It's a good thing, why are you crying? No its not, you know what happened before.
Nothing's going to happen, calm down, but his words had zero effect. Knowing he would be worried I faked it. I'll be fine, I said knowing I wouldn't be.
I'll be back as soon as we wrap this up, until then, get a grip and take care of yourself okay? Okay bye.
I hanged up and burst into tears again. It's not like I didn't want kids, I had two miscarriages in the past, I was scared of losing this one too.
I shouldn't have stopped taking birth control pills but this wasn't about me alone, Leon wanted kids and the least I could do was give him kids
Weeks turned into months and my stomach was getting bigger day by day
Today marked the third month Leon left, we talk almost every day and he always say encouraging words, but I couldn't shake off the feeling.
I couldn't eat my favorite food or drink alcohol. Pregnancy really is something. I called Leon earlier today but he didn't pick, is he that busy he even ignores his pregnant wife?
I was about to go sleep when I heard a car honk. I rushed outside to open the gate and was super excited to see Leon. He came out and I instantly wrapped my arms around him, my belly making it difficult.
My happiness was short-lived when an unknown woman stepped out of his car. She was a stunning beauty but I couldn't care less.
Who is she? She a friend and will be staying with us for a while, Leon said. You have a knack of bringing uninvited guest I muttered going in.
The girl was very rude and arrogant and kept talking to Leon like they knew each other for eternity.
I later got to know her name was Julie and she was the one Leon got paired with.
She kept talking while we were eating dinner and she had this annoying high pitched voice which was damaging my ear drums. So sorry guys, I won't be able to finish dinner, I said standing up.
Thank goodness, I heard her mutter. I wasn't in the mood to fight so I pretended I didn't hear and went straight to bed.
I heard arguments downstairs and got curious. Tiptoeing down the stairs, I heard Leon going ballistic on her about how she was rude to me.
Should I tell her then? She said and he instantly calmed down. I was confused, tell me what? I quickly went upstairs when I heard footsteps approaching
I pretended I was asleep when Leon entered the
room. He covered me with the sheets looming over me.
Sighing he lay next to me.
Olivia, he said lowly too low I almost missed it. I know I can't say this to your face but I'll keep saying it to you while you are asleep, I am so sorry, I really didn't mean to, I don't know what….I'm sorry so sorry.
I was so confused now, what was he talking about? What was he saying sorry for? I felt his hand on my back, caressing my skin. I hope you forgive me, he said, his voice fading into the background as I fell asleep.
I woke up very early in the morning, turning on my side Leon was nowhere to be seen. I heard voices coming from the other side of the house.
Opening the door quietly, I tiptoed to the guest room where the voices were coming from.
It was Julie and Leon, they were arguing over something. Why did you call me here early in the morning? I heard Leon say. I want more, she said.
I was confused again, more of what exactly?
"This is my house, my wife is upstairs", Leon said. Okay since you won't agree, then I will have to tell her, she said back.
I went back to our bedroom feeling disturbed. I wished my guts were wrong.
