Married to Mr Right - Season 1 - Episode 78

“Ciara you’re pregnant” mom announced again and that’s when I realized that I wasn’t dreaming.
I’m carrying Brian’s baby.
But what’s the essence of being happy when the person who’s supposed to share in this happiness, is not here with me but with another woman.

“Are you okay Ciara?” The doctor asked me. she must have noticed how worried I looked.
“aren’t you happy?”mom asked and I raised my head to meet her gaze. she could see the tears glistening in my eyes.
“Hey it’s okay. this is good news and you’re not going to ruin it by being such a cry baby” mom said using her face towel to wipe the tears that were already forming at the corner of my eyes.

I immediately stood up from my chair and walked out of the office. I was hastily towards the exit when I heard mom yelling my name from behind.

I turned to see her gaining on me so I quickened my steps.

I pushed the door to leave the building when mom grabbed my hands.
“What are you doing Ciara? tell me what’s going through that mind of yours?” she asked and I broke down.
“I don’t want to carry this baby mom. Brian isn’t with me anymore and this baby will only remind me of him and what happened between us. He’s never going to come back mom. so why should I keep it” I ask
“So you want to have it aborted?” she asked but I couldn’t respond
“Answer me Ciara. do you want to have this baby aborted?”

I closed my eyes but couldn’t utter a single word
“Fine then” she said and dragged me inside the building. she led me to the doctor’s office.
“We want to have an abortion” mom announced the minute we walked in.
I looked at me and the doctor. the doctor seemed confused just like I was. Mom was very serious and it made me scared.
“mom what are you doing?” I ask amidst sobs
“the same thing you also want, getting rid of the baby” she snapped
“No… I won’t do it mom. I can’t kill my baby. it’ll make me just as worse as my parents” I tell her and she became sad.
“Ciara, I know you must be having problems but you’ve just got to get a hold of yourself cause abortion isn’t really the answer. your baby needs you now, all the strength and energy you can offer” the doctor tells me “I’ll prescribe some meds for you to take that’ll help OK” she said and I nod.
She left the office.

“Ciara my child, you’re going to be a Mom very soon and I just can’t express how happy I am right now” mom smiles “this baby could be the bridge between your marriage”

Just then I thought of Brian’s mom. she made that exact statement when we had dinner at their house that evening.
“just wait till Brian hears the news” mom said and my eyes flew open
“no mom, we cannot tell Brian” I countered “He doesn’t have to know. I don’t want to add to what he’s going through now. please you cannot tell Brian. just let him be for now”
“You think he won’t accept the baby?”
“no mom, he will.. I just” I shut my eyes then opened them again “he can’t find out and even if anyone has to tell him then it must come from me”
“Your choice”
“thanks mom.”

I’ll try my best to raise the baby on my own. I’ll look for a job so that I don’t depend on Brian for everything.

Maybe it’s best if Brian doesn’t find out.
The doctor arrived with my meds and encouraged me to bring me to the hospital every week for check up so I don’t run into any complications regarding pregnancy.
mom agreed and that’s when we left the hospital for home.
.

We arrived and mom couldn’t wait for a second to give everyone the news that I was pregnant.

Everyone was happy for me especially Dad, mom and Ben.

Mom quickly served me my dinner and gave me my meds. I hated being treated like a child and that’s what everyone is doing to me now.

“You need to get some shut eye Ciara. it’ll help” dad tells me immediately he noticed me perfectly rested on the couch.
“but I want to watch a movie” I whined
“Alright but don’t stay up late. remember there’s more of you now” he teased
“oh dad”
he laughs and I switched on the television when I noticed him enter his room.

I tried to watch but then the movie was kinda boring, I became agitated when they arrived at a sex scene which reminded me of Brian. I switched off the TV and retired to my room.

I lay on the bed and at that moment, everything I could think about was just Brian, Brian, Brian. it’s like he’s a part of my being.

I stared at the ceiling and before I knew it, I was already in Dreamland.
