THE BIRTH OF MY BABY Chapter 1

THE BIRTH OF MY BABY

Chapter 1

The birth of my baby was a unique but yet a painful one. Got pregnant at the age of 18 and you could literally understand the situation especially the fact that my mother was a single mother since we lost mu dad.

I got pregnant for a guy who wasn’t doing well financially and we both decided to keep it.

We were clueless about what the future holds for us but either way, we stood on our decision.

I personally decided not to abort it because of the love I have for my guy while also wanting to keep him to myself.

“If I give birth to his child, he won’t look outside again” I said to myself because even though he loves me, he began to drift little by little even before I got pregnant.

I loved that guy 1000% and it was literally written on my face. I couldn’t breath without him. He was my all in all.

I was happy when he agreed for us to keep the child. He wanted me to tell my family but I refused and that was how we kept it between us.

As time went by, the community began to suspect. His own mother too began to suspect but we kept debunking whatever question that was thrown at us.

We were happy together, planning what to do in worst case scenarios not knowing that a lot awaits both of us.

Of cause, we couldn’t hide the pregnancy for long because after a while, the stomach began to protrude but my mother didn’t notice anything u till when the pregnancy was 5 months old.

We were together that night at home, gisting as usual and I was also shirtless as usual and then she kept looking at my stomach.

“Cynthia, what is that black line on your stomach and why is it a little bit bigger than normal?” my mother asked but I kept quiet

“Cynthia, you are pregnant?” She asked again with a worried tone

Amazingly, I was expecting her to ask for the person responsible for it but she didn’t.

All my family knew it was my guy, Benjamin and so my elder sister picked her phone to call Benjamin that night.
