Zenzele
Yesterday when I was looking at the photo I really couldn’t believe that Emily’s mother is alive so I left her shopping alone and returned home only to find that hell has broken lose the mother is missing and no one really knows where she is. I thought about telling Fadz when but then I am not sure maybe that’s just Emily’s look alike. Now today when I saw the mother I almost fainted and well my brothers were not really cooperating as to what’s happening. No one was in a good mood and father… I had never seen him talk more than five sentences but today he was the one making all the noise. A little while later i saw henry running downstairs with Trisha in his hands without a t-shirt and he looked like shit, I wondered what happened to him until I saw father looking like he was in a wrestling stage. I stopped thinking about it immediately because I don’t want to think about what might happened. Finally Fadz’s sister walked alone to the garden then I got a chance to actually speak to her.
Me: excuse me sister, Stella right
Stella: yes… and you are
Me: Zenzele… I am henry’s brother
Stella: oh
She rolled her eyes
Stella: what do you want?
Me: I want to make sure of some few facts please don’t take this the wrong way
Stella: sure what
Me: Emily is your child
Stella: yes
Me: Fadzai Zanindi is your sister
Stella: yes… How do you know that?
Me: I don’t know how you are going to react to this but…
My phone rang and it was Fadz. I quickly remembered that I have not seen her this morning.
Me: your sister is my girlfriend
Stella: what!
Me: and she is calling me right now
I took my call.
Me: hello
Fadz: hey… how are you
Me: um… I am fine
Fadz: why do you sound tense… where are you I thought you would be here in the morning to take me to work.
Me: I am sorry sweetheart I am on my way to meet you right now, we have to talk
Fadz: okay… are you sure you are okay
Me: trust me…. I am coming.
I hang up and looked at Stella who was still confused. I have to go. Stella held my hand as I was about to turn away
Stella: are you going to break up with her
Me: what… no
Stella: but that would have been the best decision
Me: are you nuts, go and take your meds
I left her and headed to Fadz’s work place. When I arrived I found the shop closed and she looked nervous and worried.
Me: why is the shop closed?
Fadz: don’t worry.
I gave her a kiss on the cheek
Fadz: are you breaking up with me
Me: what!
Fadz: do you have another older girl
Me: Fadz… why are you being so negative, I am not breaking up with you and no I don’t have any other girlfriend apart from you okay… I love you
Fadz; then what’s wrong
Me: I can’t believe you thought I was breaking up with you…
Fadz: you just left me yesterday and then you didn’t come in the morning you didn’t call last night and you didn’t show up for lunch, today you said we need to talk in a very serious tone then you peck my cheek when normally you sweep me off my feet and leave me breathless with your kisses.
I slightly laughed. It’s so adorable to know that she worries
Me: we do need to talk though, we are going to have some bumps in our relationships okay
Fadz: what do you mean?
Me: have you seen the father of your sister’s child
Fadz: no… my sister barely talks about her
Me: I happen to know who it is
Fadz: oh no… is it you
She turned pale in a split second
Me: Fadz: I will take you across my knee and spank you right now… stop thinking like that.
She swallowed hard and looked down at her knuckles. I don’t know what’s wrong with her but she looks so cute like this. I gave her one of my kisses that apparently sweeps her off her feet and leaves her breathless
Me: are you feeling better
She tried to hide her shy smile
Me: okay back to reality, Trisha’s husband is Stella’s baby daddy
Fadz: what!
Me: yeah… she is at my house right now and it’s a little bit of havoc
Fadz: oh my god…
Me: yeah
Fadz: I can’t believe this
Me: but don’t worry it’s not our battle to fight okay, I know it’s going to cause some hiccups here and there but we are going to remain strong
Fadz: my sister… I haven’t seen her this year
Me: I talked with her this morning
Fadz: what did she say
Me: don’t worry.
Trisha
I hear soft distorted voices around me but I can’t make out who is talking. “Trisha…. Trisha I am so sorry” “don’t you think you are disturbing her, she can’t hear you know” “yes you are right I am disturbing her but…” the voices fade and the darkness swallows me a while later I feel a bit lighter.
“Good news… are you fu-Ckin kidding me doctor…” after that angry voice I hear a few people calling henry and the door slamming. Someone gets which I suspect is the doctor gets angry and threatens to throw them out. I drift back into my darkness.
I wake up with Chloe and Rena by my side. Which actually surprises me, who is with the kids at home. Rena stands to call the doctor
Shit!
Henry… henry… Were the hell is he?
Chloe: you are awake, am I glad to see that
Me: Chloe… where is henry? Is he okay?
Chloe: it’s okay relax…
Me: no it’s not okay… it’s not okay
I stand up just as the doctor enters
Doctor: Mrs. Tyson relax
Me: no, where is my husband
What if his father killed him?
Rena: Trisha… henry is at home okay
Me: I want to talk to him.
Chloe: okay fine I will call him
Me: are you sure he is okay…
Chloe: he is fine, relax
I take a deep breath and sit back. The doctor takes my blood pressure and temperature
Doctor: Mrs. Tyson
Me: please call me Trisha
Doctor: okay Trisha you have to start taking care of yourself… the amount of tension shown in your body is not healthy for both of you
Me: you mean for me
Doctor: uh… yes and your babies
Me: excuse me
Doctor: oh, I am sorry I didn’t tell you… you are pregnant Trisha… and according to our scan you are going to have triplets
I felt bile rise up to my throat… I am pregnant with triplets… at a time like this, I quickly remember how my last pregnancy didn’t even last a second because of the wrong timing. I have a desperate wish to faint again
Me: are you sure
Doctor: yes…. You are 14 weeks pregnant
Me: oh jeez
The doctor regards my reaction
Doctor: are you happy…
Am I happy…? I look at Chloe and Rena and they look tensed at hell
Me: I am carrying three babies?
Doctor: yes, how do you feel about that?
Me: I don’t believe it… you are mistaken I can’t be pregnant
Doctor: why is that?
Me: I have been taking the pill
Doctor: those are sometimes ineffective
Me: then why the f--k do you sell them
I am freaking out right now,
Doctor: I will prescribe some pills for you, your blood pressure is low as well as your temperature
Me: is there any chance that you are mistaken
Doctor: we can do an ultra sound scan if you want
Do I want that? Do I want to confirm if I am really pregnant? No I would rather stick to assuming that I am not pregnant because somehow I know that I can’t be pregnant
Me: no I am not doing your stupid ultra sounds, I am not pregnant. I mean having pregnant for 14 weeks with triplets then I am sure that I should be gaining weight right… 14 weeks is close to three months
Rena: honestly Trisha… you are gaining weight
I give her a look.
Doctor: Trisha… I am sorry if this news are not such good news for you but you have to start knowing that you are expecting and take care of yourself… it seem your body and mind been subjected to a lot of stress that’s why you fainted in the first place.
Me: I am not pregnant
Chloe: Trisha
Me: I want to talk to henry and I don’t want to hear anyone talking about me being pregnant because I am not.
