Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Sandra

Its been a week since we came from the birthday party and trust me, I really stressed myself out. I know I shouldn't with my condition and even Amanda was yelling at me throughout the organization of the party. Even iyke told me but I wouldn't listen.

This back pain wouldn't go. And I've been using the medications prescribed by the midwife when I went to complain. I never knew it would be so worrisome for me and I even had not gotten a good sleep in 3days.

"Iyke darling, I don't know what I'm feeling" I yelled from the couch I was sitting.

"What is.... Jesus you are bleeding and" she had fainted before I completed whatever I was going to say.

*******

Iyke

She hasn't still recovered from the shock and fact she had a miscarriage. She still hadn't eaten yet and her cold features has been worrisome for me too.

I was told she had stressed the baby so much and that's why most likely her body rejected the baby. I warned her but she wouldn't listen, now see what she has done for her sister's sake.

Her sister, everything was about the sister and see where it has landed us. Its been more than a week and I don't know what to say... We are about getting discharged from the hospital and then she ordered another ultrasound.she didn't even look at the screen during the scan and every question asked about her health was ignored.

"But..." My love was about saying something but only tears cane, they traveled freely from both eyes like it was stored somewhere.

"I'm here, it happened for a reason" I told her holding her hands and trying to remain strong but I felt it too, my heart was also heavy.

She was wheeled back to the room, which I actually requested for so she would be secluded from other patients and probably get more privacy while we mourn our baby.

I sure wasn't allow her go near that toxic sister of her's.

********

"But it was never their fault" I still begged Iyke

He has told me not to reveal to anyone about our loss for now but yet he has taken so many mighty steps like,

One: Not to speak with my sister and family because he feels they caused the miscarriage. Two: He forcefully went to take our son David from Mandy's house. Even tho I did not accompany him, I'm sure he created a scene over there. Three: I don't know how he did it but he connected our phones, so he gets knowledge of whosoever calls me and I'm not permitted to pick up calls... Especially my sister. Four: We were leaving Lagos to Port-Harcourt this weekend. Five: Arrrrgghhhh...... Its just ME and David in the hotel room whenever he is not around.

" During our own David birthday, you weren't stressed, there was a party planner and it wasn't as huge as.... Yet you went to sacrifice our child for the birthday of the 'Trinity' Madam Savior" he said with bitterness and anger.

I wasn't the only one affected by the loss. Looking at him this few days, he had been looking so unkempt and didn't even care about his looks but was rallying round for us to get settled and me being happy. But it's too severe.

" This is too much Iyke, I suffer loss and instead of the ones I have to come comfort me you take them away.... Darling see"

"I see nothing, you have me and David and if you think we are not enough then comfort yourself" he shouted

" What?"

" It's either ME or your sister and don't think you are taking my SON along with you " he said walking away.
