“How are you feeling now? Mrs DeMarcus ask as Charmaine was done eating
” Better, Charmaine replied with a small smile
” That’s a relief, Mrs DeMarcus sigh nudging
“You should take care of yourself,he said not knowing what to say
” Thank you sir and am sorry for getting you worried
“It’s not a problem, actually we have something to tell you” he said and Mrs DeMarcus gave him the look ” WE”?
” What is that? Charmaine asked
“Charmaine I hope you will be able to take in what you are about to hear” he said which scared her a little
“Stop scaring me, is something wrong with me? She ask trying hard not to panic
” No! Nothing is wrong with you
” Then tell me what is going on? She ask aloud already losing her cool
“You are pregnant” he drop the bombshell and everywhere became silent at once
” Pre… Pre… Pregnant
“No it’s can’t be” she muttered in disbelief
” It’s true Charmaine, you are carrying a life inside you” Mrs DeMarcus chirped in
“Am carrying a baby” she said with a gasp
” Yes,he replied and they both stared at each other, Mrs DeMarcus saw this and cleared her throat
“I’ll excuse you both, she said and walk out
Moment fell among the two of them, none was ready to say anything but
” We need to talk,
“I know what you want to say, I just want to know that am never aborting my baby!! Charmaine uttered before he could say anything
“But_
” I understand that you don’t want a baby and don’t worry, I’ll disappear from your life and never show up” she ranted and Vincenzo was at the edge of losing his cool
“Will you keep quiet and let me talk!
“Who said you are aborting the baby?? He asked aloud
“I thought you don’t want the baby” she muttered and he sigh before moving closer to her
“Trust me Charmaine, am happy that you are carrying my baby
“You mean, you aren’t angry? She asked slowly
” No am not and why will I be angry, little Nick needs a sister” he added and she frown
” Who said it’s a boy?
“Of course it’s a girl, am 100% sure of that” he replied
” In your dreams, it’s a boy not a girl! She argued
“Am the one that plant the seed in you and I know the gender” he said
“Am the one carrying the child and am telling you that it’s a boy! She snapped
” Ok, it’s a boy” he raised his hand in surrender and she giggled
” You know we don’t know much about each other so let’s start with our names”Vincenzo suggested
“You are right, am Charmaine Spencer
” Vincenzo DeMarcus, Nice to meet you Miss Charmaine” he brought his hand for handshake
” Same here Mr Vincenzo” she replied taking his hand and they both smile
“Welcome to the family, Charm” he said confusing her
“Charm? Who is charm? she asked in confusion
” You,I shortened your name” he replied and she mouthed an O
“That’s nice, then I’ll call you Enzo as well” she said with a smile
“No problem, as you wish” he replied with a smile staring at her
Just then the door burst open revealing Shana
” Bestie! Shana shouted running to Charmaine
“Bestie?? Vincenzo muttered
Shana rushed to her side pushing Vincenzo out of the way
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? What made you pass out? I thought you to see the doctor but you refuse? Shana rushed her words
“Am fine Shana and moreso Mrs DeMarcus and Vincenzo is here with me” Charmaine replied
“Vincenzo?. She repeated in shock,it was then she saw Vincenzo beside her
” Yes me, Vincenzo replied mischievously and she gulped down nothing
” Hey Bro…” She muttered nervously
