Married to Mr Right - Season 1 - Episode 74

“you have to sign the papers” I tell Brian even though I was hurting inside. “I don’t want to sign those papers Ciara.”
“So what do you want to achieve by being so stubborn” I ask not expecting a reply.
“Just do as she tells you Brian. you don’t want to live with the regret of loosing your only child” she says through gritted teeth.
“I’m not the father of that d--n thing. yes I admit that we’ve slept together countless times but what if the baby isn’t mine, that is if you’re really pregnant as you claim.” he says and walks to Janelle.

” Don’t come close to me Brian” she yells but he didn’t listen. she struggles with him until he manages to pull the knife off her hands.

“You’re pregnant right?” he ask but she doesn’t respond
“we’ll see about that” he says and drags her towards the door.
“where are you taking me?” she asks hitting and screaming at the same time.
I didn’t say much but I simply followed.
“let me go Brian” I say cursing at him.
He held her hands and walked outside then opened the car and shoved her inside. she winced like someone in pain.

He took one look at me before opening the door to the front seat.

I gulped before getting in.
he turned round and opened the door to take the wheel.

I was feeling nervous.
he held my hand when he was fully balanced on his seat and glanced at my direction.
I could tell he noticed the confused look on my face, but he gave me a reassuring smile as if to tell me, that it’s okay.

He started the engines and drove off.

All through the drive, everyone remained silent. no one uttered a single word.

The atmosphere was a calm and tensed one.
I was tensed cause I had zero idea about where he was taking us.

We drove for about twenty minutes before arriving at a building. I looked around before I realized that we were at a hospital.
“A hospital?” Janelle blurts out “what are we doing here Brian” she asks but he doesn’t respond. instead he stepped down from the car and opened the door for her to come down as well.

I came down and we all went inside the building.
“Brian what are we doing here?” I manage to ask

“We’re here to find out if truly Janelle here is pregnant with my child” he reply
We waited for our turn until we we’re attended to by a nurse.
.

After some minutes, we we’re told to see the doctor and we did just that.

After stating the purpose of our mission. The doctor concluded that they conduct a test to see if Janelle was really pregnant.
we agreed and she was led away by a nurse.
We sat down for hours, waiting for what could possibly be the outcome of the test. All through, my heart thudded against my chest.
I was beyond scared.

“what if it comes out positive?” I ask Brian who was lost in his own thoughts. he turned to look at me.

“Why would you say that?”
“Because it might. I’m scared Brian. For all we know, she could be pregnant”
“For all we know, she could also be lying”
“And what if she isn’t?” I ask, tears trickling down my cheeks.
“let’s not think about that for now Ciara.”
“I’m trying to but it’s difficult. do you even understand what is going to happen if she really is pregnant? we’re going to be separated, forever” I tell him
“It won’t come to that Ciara. trust me”
trust? is he being serious?
“She’s right you know. you’re the only guy she’s ever slept with”I say. he sighs and slumps to the chair.
” I’m sorry ” was all he managed to say after some minutes of silence
“For being the worst husband you could possibly have. I don’t deserve you Ciara and I don’t know why I got stuck with a woman like you despite all the things I’ve done” he said. I notice his eyes turn red. he was trying to hide the pain but somehow, deep down, I felt it.

I sat down next to him and took his hands in mine.

“If it comes out positive, you’ll just have to be with her Brian. For your baby. I know it’s going to be hard… ” I said sniffing. I was already crying. I felt so broken “but that’s what right. I just wish all of this is just a dream and that I’ll wake up soon”
“Me too”
