Chapter 3: Chapter 3

"Cynthia" she called her friend. "Hmmm.." she said without staring at her. "Cynthia..." she called again.

"Is there a problem?" Cynthia asked her friend without giving her a glance. "Yes" her shaky voice said.

"Uhm.. What's the problem" she asked, still staring at her phone.

"Cynthia, I think I am pregnant" she said. "You're what?!" Cynthia asked her.

"I don't know... I just don't feel so good," she told her.

"Hmmm.. Sarah, what are you even saying?" Cynthia asked and dropped her phone by her side to get a good look at Sarah's stomach.

"I don't understand my body system and I.." she said but got interrupted by Cynthia.

"OK wait... You mean to tell me that you're feeling awkward, when last did you see your period?.." she asked Sarah.

"I swear I can't remember.." Sarah said and began to sober.

"At first I just thought it was supposed to be normal but as time went on, It just slipped my mind.." she said.

" it just slipped your mind?.." she asked rhetorically. "Have you told your mother about this?" Cynthia asked. "What?.. I mean no!.." she told her.

"And why is that?" she asked.

"I don't know where to start from, what do I even tell her?" she asked.

"Well.. We really need to be sure that you're pregnant, we can't just sit here and assume that you're pregnant" Cynthia said.

"Okay.." she said sobbing.

"Calm down Sarah, so.. I wanted to ask you who the father of the baby is?" she asked. "I think.." she said.

"You think?" she asked Sarah.

"No.. I mean I feel it's Collins" she confessed.

"Okay.. That's a good one, I mean he's your boyfriend, he can't deny the fact that he is the owner of the baby, that's if you're even pregnant" Cynthia said.

Few days after, Cynthia and Sarah had gone to the pharmacy and found that she was truly expecting a baby, Sarah cried her eyes out, she seeked Cynthia's advice and she told her to get rid of the baby, Sarah was too scared to do an abortion, she suggested she tell Collins and see his reaction, Cynthia was against it at first but trying won't hurt they said.

"Baby.." a fine young boy of about 19 or so, laying on the bed with Sarah in his arms. "babe..." she called him.

"Yes baby" he answered.

"There's something I would like us to talk about," she told him.

"Hmm.. What's the problem baby, you know you can talk to be about anything" he said. "I know.." Sarah's shaky voice said.

"Talk to me baby, you're getting all worked up, is there a problem" he asked. "Collins am pregnant" she told him.

"What!" he said.

"You're what?!" he asked.

"Am pregnant for you babe" she told him.

"Oh My Goodness Sarah" he said covering his face with his hands. "I don't believe it," he said.

"But Collins you were my first and you know I've never been with anyone else except from you and you.." she told him but before another word could leave her lips, Collins grabbed her waist and pulled her closer and gave her a rough kiss on the lips.

" Oh My Goodness baby, when did this happen?!.. Why didn't you tell me?!.. Oh my God! Am going to be a father!" he said, jumping out of excitement.

"I.. I... I didn't know how the news was going to make you feel" she told him.

"Sarah I love you and we are keeping this baby" he said and bent over to kiss her stomach. "So.. You're not mad that I am pregnant?" she asked him.

"Why should I be Sarah, I'm gonna be a father, I've always wanted to spend the rest of my life with you and here you are telling me you are expecting a baby for me" he said and kissed her forehead.

"I love you so much Sarah" he told her.

"I love you too baby" she said and he kissed her temples.

Sarah was more than glad that she and Collins were going to settle down and have a baby together, she was only 15 and for her, her life was starting off real quick.

"I told him girl and he was so happy that he was going to be a father," sard told Cynthia over the phone.

"Oh.. Really!.. That is a great news Sarah, I am so happy for you girl" Cynthia told her. "Yes I know, at first he was acting like he was upset and boom!.. He started kissing me and

telling me how happy he was to actually be an expecting dad" Sarah continued, she talked to

Cynthia over the phone for more than an hour, they laughed and gisted about how Sarah's upcoming wedding was going to be like, it was indeed very dreamy.

Sarah wasn't yet sure if she wanted to let her mother know she was pregnant, she had just finished high school and was trying to get herself to college but right now she was about to be a wife and a mother, nothing else mattered.

On several occasions Sarah had come home to meet Collins, she felt he was trying to get close to her mother as an aspirant in law, she was glad Collins was always around the house, whenever he mother wasn't around, they made wild love and she was madly in love with the male being.

Sarah felt her life was in order, two months have past and the constant visits of Collins when or not she was around was beginning to make her feel uncomfortable, she confronted him but every time she did, he made her look like a fool and that made her really sad, she complained it to her friend Cynthia, Cynthia advised that she might just be over thinking due to her state.

She knew she was pregnant but she wasn't blind to see how her mother looked at Collins every time he was around.

Sarah was more than determined to know what was going on between the both of them.
