TEN MONTHS LATER... LEONAWe just arrived home and I am awed to see the entire family in the decorated living room upstanding in anticipation of our arrival.I was carrying my new baby boy in my arms while Dave carried the girl. Yes, I delivered a boy and a girl twin and it's been a month but we're now returning from the by-force vacation Dave took me a month before my delivery. Everyone couldn't wait to see us and here we are now. Petals of different colors showered on us as we walked into the living room."Aww. They're so adorable and the girl is so cute." Kim squealed and took my baby boy from me.I sat down and everyone took turns to congratulate us, me especially. My mind went back to the day I told Dave that I was pregnant in his office. It's been ten months but I can't forget that astonishing look and his priceless smile when I told him the news. I keep replaying it and anytime I do, I find myself smiling. I've never seen him that happy before...it was so ama

In between his tight gripping suspense.My heart hammered furiously against my ribcage as I exchanged looks with my best friend. She smiled nervously at me then her gaze went back to the man at the podium who in no tim
_________________________________ RHODAHearing Leona's name being called out as the best student, I wasn't surprised as I had expected it. What I didn't expect was her sudden fall when she got on the stage. The college authorities called for the first aid team and she got rushed to the school's clinic."I guess our new Valedictorian is overexcited and must've passed out due to that." The chancellor began.It better be the reason. She can't fall sick all of a sudden.
______________________________ ~RHODA~"Then how's this possible! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't done the test myself." I told her."Trust me, Rhoda, I never had sex! I didn't do anything." She wailed."I trust you completely Leo, in fact, more than myself but you know one can never get pregnant without having sex. I mean is not like Jesus is visiting the world again through you!" I reason with her."Shut up already! You're only making this worse." She chided. "I'm sure there's a mix-up somewhere other than that, how can I be pregnant?.""Alright but I think we should do a virginity test to prove that you still are.""Does that mean you don't believe what I am saying?" She sounds disappointed."Not that. I trust you. This is going to prove your innocence and th

You don't need to worry." He replied and paused for a minute." How's this possible, Leona? I know you wouldn't go and do something that will hurt our family so what happened?""I'm just as clueless, Ray. Although everything seems to be working against me now, I am certain about one thing.""Which is?" His brows raised curiously."I'm not pregnant and I'll prove it tomorrow.""Great! I'm glad there's a way. Come let's go home.""Which home?" Tasha has warned me not to go because my dad won't be happy."Our h
~LEONA~I dragged it till it reached my knees before I peeped."OMG!" There's actually blood.Oh Lord, I'm not pregnant. I just knew it."Ray..." I almost screamed but covered my mouth hastily.I got out of the washroom and shuffled through my bag and took a pad out.I went to the bathroom and had a quick bath and after that, I wore the pad happily.I once heard a group of girls discussing their fear anytime they have sex and their period delays.And when they think their period will never come but it finally appears, their happiness always knows no bounds. I didn't understand them then but now I do even though my circumstance is different from theirs.My happiness was inexplicable. I didn't plan on combing my hair but I suddenly loses it from its bondage.
~LEONA~ "Sister Leo, please help me with my assignment." Vera walked into my home office with her workbook. "I'm busy Vee. We'll do that later." I replied without taking my focus off my computer. "No no no!" She protested stubbornly. I sighed. "Okay fine. I will have a look." I took the book and looked through it. "This is simple, Vee." I looked up at the little blonde. "Here, I'll teach you." It was just simple algebra so I took some time and taught her. "Wow Leo, you teach so perfectly more than our teacher. Why didn't you become a teacher too?" She grinned at me happily. "But I'm already a teacher," I replied smilingly, looking at the youngest child among us. I love them all but I love her more. "Wow? Really? Where do you teach? And who do you teach?" She asked innocently. I chuckled. "I teach at home. Meaning, I'm your personal teach
LeonaThe security guards released me after the doctor had left and I just stood in the corridor as people stared at me strangely as if I was a new creature.Nevertheless, I waited. Waited to see the doctor again when he came out.His eyes met me when he came out of the ward he had disappeared to earlier. When he saw me, he motioned for me to follow him.Thank goodness.I followed him with hope as we entered the office."How can I help you ?" He sat down, staring at me."I'm pregnant," I stated.He raised a furrowed brow with a look that says. 'How's that my problem?'Nevertheless, he nodded for me to continue."I'm pregnant but I don't know who the father of my baby is," I added.He straightened up in the chair as if by interest but he looked bored."Were you raped? If you were raped, then you should be at the police station and not here." He said with a frown."I wasn't r
