”Im so sorry this happened to you Lydia, if I hadn invited you and left you hunging, all this wouldn have happened ” Maria sobbed after she found out about what happened to Lydia at the event.

”No don say that, it wasn your fault. This happened because I wasn careful at the party. ” Lydia said to Maria, squeezing her hand gently to stop her from bursting into tears.

” This news is bitter sweet ”. Mama Zimbi said after a long silence.

”This child won have a father. But don worry , it will have a loving grandmother. Im going to be a grandmother ”! Mama Zimbi said enthusiastically.

”You
e right mother, someone will be addressing me as aunt very soon ” Maria said excitedly.

The mother and daughter hugged each other leaving Lydia downfounded.

This wasn the reaction she expected from those two . She had prepared herself incase she was to leave the house after rejecting their ideas like , ”Abort the baby. ”, but nothing like that sort came from them. Her respect for them sored up.

It wasn like she would do such thing . She would never do that no matter what the situation. Her mother thought and raised her better than that. The faithful day she found out about her pregnancy, she vowed to keep the baby no matter what comes her way. If her mother could raise her all by herself, why can she do same for her baby? She can bring herself to kill an innocent baby, HER baby. Besides, she won be alone in this world if her baby is out.

She placed her hand on her flat tummy and smiled.
