#OMNISCIENT_POV

News of Angelina’s pregnancy had reached to the ears of their family and friends, All of them are excited for her fortune but there are two individuals who aren’t nearly as excited as the others about this news, and these individuals are none other than the architects of the pregnancy themselves, Peter and Angelina.

It’s not that they don’t want to have kids together, it’s just that they’re not ready to start a family yet.

Here in the House of Peter’s parents, Peter sits down gloomily thinking about the fruit of his labour which is about to be harvested in 9 months time, While he was busy brooding over the matter, His mother notices his expression and asks what’s happening.

.

Jessica ➡ Peter.. Are you alright?

.

Peter ➡ No mom.. I’m worried about the pregnancy.

.

Jessica ➡ Don’t worry, Angelina will be fine. She’s a strong woman, not a weakling like you.?

.

Peter ➡ ? Mom.. If this is a joke.. It’s not funny.

.

Jessica ➡ Okay.. What’s wrong? Why are you worried about the pregnancy?

.

Peter ➡ It’s just.. I’m not ready to become a father.. There are some things that I want to do at this stage of my life.

.

Jessica ➡ Is that all? ?

.

Peter ➡ Yes.. I don’t know what to do.

.

Jessica ➡ Well.. I’ll tell you what to do but first of all… You’re very stupid for saying that.

.

Peter ➡ Mom! What’s this?

.

Jessica ➡ (mimicking peter) I’m not ready to a father … Did you just really say that? I should have slapped you. Nonsense.

.

Peter ➡ But mom..

.

Jessica ➡ SHUT UP! Don’t even dare say that in front of Angelina’s father.. He’ll snap you in half. Tell me, if you didn’t want to be a father, why didn’t you wear a CD when you were f-cking the lovely girl?

.

Peter ➡ Mom.. You don’t have to go that far.

.

Jessica ➡ You’d better take responsibility.

.

Peter ➡ MOM! I didn’t deny the pregnancy and I’m happy that I’m going to have a child with the love of my life.. It’s just that I’m not ready to raise a family yet.

.

Jessica ➡ Oh Please.. Shut up.. There’s no turning back from this now and drop this talk about not being ready to become a father.. As far as I’m concerned you’re ready and fully responsible… You have a house of your own, no rent, and you also have a well paying job.. What else? You were ready to become a father when you filled your c-m in Angelina’s w-mb. Please don’t come and disappointed us all because I won’t forgive you if you ditch this girl after popping her cherry.

.

Peter ➡ I’m honestly disappointed that you’d think I’ll do that.. I’m not that kind of man and I will never ditch Angelina.. I love her with all my heart. The real reason why I wasn’t too excited about this pregnancy is because Angelina and I are both busy people… I don’t want us to have issues raising our child ?, You and dad raised me the best way you could and you both gave me attention when I needed one.. I’m afraid I won’t be able to give that same attention to my child.

.

Feeling touched by her son’s words, Jessica sits down next to Peter, holding his hand, She pats his back gently giving him an advice and words of encouragement.

.

Jessica ➡ Look.. I’ve been there with your father and it’s not easy but you can’t change what has already been done. Your girlfriend is pregnant and you’re soon going to be a father whether you like it or not.. The fairest thing you can do to your child is be the parent he/she deserves and for that to work, you’ll have to make some sacrifices.

.

Peter ➡ Sacrifices?

.

Jessica ➡ Yes.. We make sacrifices for the ones we love right!?… Back before I met your father, I owned a booming club!

.

Peter ➡ You ran a club back in the day??

.

Jessica ➡ Yes and it was very successful one too.. It was also where I met your father, he came with his friends to celebrate his promotion.

.

Peter ➡ How did you guys meet!?

.

Jessica ➡ Well, we met at the parking garage.. I was about to go home when your father approached me. He wasn’t really a smooth talker.. He was a shy person like you.. He wanted to tell me how beautiful I was but the words couldn’t come out. So I did want any lady would do. I rejected him politely.

.

Peter ➡ That was cruel! ?

.

Jessica ➡ No.. That was a feminine strategy. If you want a man to keep chasing after you.. Play hard to get. And it worked.. It always works.

.

Peter ➡ Well, Playing hard to get doesn’t work anymore in this era.. Any chick that plays hard to get.. She’s going to be the loser in the end. Men becoming extinct. (Laughs)

.

Jessica ➡ As I was saying.. I rejected him and went home, he came back to the club the next day and he tried his luck, I rejected him again, and again and again and again. Until I finally granted him access.

.

Peter ➡ Why did you do that? Why give him your attention on the last minute?

.

Jessica ➡ Well the answer is simple… His love for me was genuine.. If he could keep coming back to me after being rejected so many times.. He’s definitely a man worth being with.

.

Peter ➡ So what happened after you guys met?

.

Jessica ➡ We made love.

.

Peter ➡ JESUS!… and what happened after that?

.

Jessica ➡ We got married 3 months later.. I was pregnant with you at the time.

.

Peter ➡ So? What happened? Where was your club?

.

Jessica ➡ I sold it.

.

Peter ➡ Why?

.

Jessica ➡ Because I was married to your father.. You see once you’re married… Everything changes.. You enter a stage in life that’s very complicated. There was no way I could run a club while I have a family to attend to.. Plus, I was no longer a single lady anymore. I miss my old life but nothing lasts forever.

.

Peter ➡ The sacrifices you made, was it worth it?

.

Jessica ➡ Of course.. Things may not be what they use to be when I was going but I don’t have any regrets. Having your father as my husband and you as my son is the best thing I could ever possibly have, after all this is all what women dream of, a happy family.

Don’t worry yourself son, Just try your best and be the best parent for you child.. One of the reasons why I love your father is that he always gives me the attention I want, no matter how busy he is, he always finds a way to spend a quality time with you and me. He’s always there when he’s needed. I want you to do that for your child. Just pray and think positively, everything will be alright.. Don’t count your chicks before they hatch.

.

Peter ➡ Thanks for the advice mom!

.

Jessica ➡ You’re welcome my son.

.

Just as Peter is talking with his mom in their house, Angelina is having the same conversation with her mother Alice.

.

Angelina ➡ Mom.. I really don’t want to be a parent at this age!

.

Alice ➡ Really? If you didn’t want that to happen, you should have told Peter to wear a CD or better yet, denied him the access between your legs.. What’s done is done.

.

Angelina ➡ Mom.. I’m serious.

.

Alice ➡ See me see wahala. Tell me, why don’t you want to be a parent? Tell me.

.

Angelina ➡ It’s not that I don’t want to be a parent.. It’s just that I’m not ready yet.. Peter and I are both busy adults.. If this child comes into this world I doubt we’ll have time to raise him or her and I don’t want that.

.

Alice ➡ Busy adults? Tell me.. What’s your purpose in life?.. Money? Fame? Glamour? Which one?

.

Angelina ➡ I just want to be happy.. That’s what every wants right.

.

Alice ➡ Yes but that’s not the answer! The answers are two:

First, the purpose of life is to be grateful to God in whatever situation you’re in.. That is why many people are suffering, almost everyone in this world is not grateful.. Everyone want the easy life , they want enjoyment.. Who do they think they are? The only enjoyment you get is in paradise but this world is a prison. And the only way out of it is to be grateful for what you have or the situation you’re in, God tests us to see if we can cope and be patient but unfortunately most people don’t pass that test.
