Forbidden desire - S01 E04

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

After a long while of drinking in silence, Nathan finally spoke out.

“Caleb, what should I do?” He asked with sadness in his tone.

“I don’t understand. What should you do about what exactly?” Caleb asked staring confusedly at him.

“My marriage” Nathan responded drinking from his glass cup.

“What happened to your marriage? Or, did something happen to your wife?” Caleb asked with curiosity.

Then slowly, Nathan shook his head, and responded,

“I wish that was the case. Then maybe there would have been a solution to the problem” Nathan said.

“Are you being serious right now? What could be worse than your wife getting into one problem or the other?” Caleb asked.

“Caleb, it’s been five years since I and Daniella got married. And yet, we don’t have a child of our own. This whole thing is beginning to get to my wife who has been so emotional these few days” Nathan said with sadness in his eyes.

“That’s quite understandable. But I believe God will remember your wife in due time. I mean, this is one of the things you can’t stress or force and you know it” Caleb said.

“You don’t understand,” Nathan said with a scoff that came from a place of sorrow. “Caleb, I’m afraid that, that won’t be happening anytime soon”

“And what do you mean by that? Why will you even say such a thing?” Caleb asked.

“Caleb you don’t get it. I am suffering from secondary infertility. As it stands now, I won’t be able to impregnate my wife or any woman at all” Nathan revealed.

Hearing this, Caleb’s jaw dropped immediately in shock.

“What! That’s ridiculous. Since when?” Caleb asked in shock and disbelief.

“I found out a few months after my wedding. And for the past five years now, I have been working on restoring my fertility but all to no avail” Nathan revealed.

“Oh my goodness! This is really bad. How about your wife? Is she aware of this?” Caleb asked.

Then shaking his head, Nathan responded.

“Not yet. I told the doctor to keep it from her till I’m ready to tell her about it. But it hurts me to see her cry and blame herself for her inability to conceive for me all these years. Honestly, Daniella does not deserve any of this and it really hurts” Nathan said fighting back tears.

Caleb who was dumbfounded sat there searching for the right words to say to Nathan. And all he could say was,

“Wow! this is serious,” He said looking confused.

Then quietly, he reached for his drink and began gulping it down his throat when Nathan gazed at him and said,

“But since I can’t father a child, for now, I was thinking, how about you impregnate my wife?” Nathan asked staring at Caleb who almost choked on his drink.

He quickly dropped his drink and sat staring at Nathan with his eyes widened in shock.

“What!” Caleb finally managed to exclaim with shock and disbelief on his features.

“Yes, Caleb. Help me get my wife pregnant” Nathan said with a stern face.
