~I am not infertile after all~
It was a quiet Tuesday morning at the state’s judiciary that Lucy’s final verdict was to be held amidst three other drug king pin. Accompanied with a party of armed police detectives the two sons of the dead oldie, and Lucy arrived the court looking shabby and unkempt; her hair had lost its lushness and dried up as chaff in the sun; her face housed disinterest , which was traceable to her dark eyes. Few weeks under the custody of the police she had lost annoying pounds so much that she felt herself flying whenever the fresh air blew across her body.
In all of this she wasn’t bothered about herself. She knew her ill fate was guaranteed the moment she was rounded up by the police and nothing on earth could change the fact that she was going to spend the declining part of her life in jail, even with or without the jury she had known her fate . The only thing that bothered her now was the fate of her man, her heartthrob; the only man she could kill; for her Fanny.
Some days ago she had imagined her brother and his hostile dare-devil bullies pummel their fist into his face and stomach until he coughed out blood; if really Fanny was still alive till this moment. She had given up on seeing her lover again. She knew her brother too well and he was the type of man that shed blood whenever his money was stolen or taken from him mysteriously ; even he shed the blood of the innocent just to get back on his offenders. One million dollars was enough to skin Fanny to death.
While she was standing and awaiting trial at the court, one of the sons of the oldie , the eldest one, drifted to her side and mumbled, “I know you want to tell me what you buried in that valley.” He shot an inquisitive stare at her. “We have been there to scavenge the whole place without finding your ass. So tell me what is in that bag and which spot did you bury it?” He held a generous smile.
Lucy smiled briefly and molded a grinned face. “You want to know what is in the bag?” she asked and the young man nodded in the affirmative, “OK, she said, “The destiny of your generation is in that bag and I buried it in the earth. Are you satisfied now?” she asked smiling tauntingly.
“You bitch, you will rot in jail.” About hitting her, a couple of police men held his hands and dragged him away.

Teddy was the happiest man on the surface of California ever since Mrs. Fanny paid him a one month visit in his mansion with the twin babies. Every day he visited the grocery and children’s’ playground with the twin babies. His joy knew no bounds as he showed his pals and associates the twin babies that God blessed him with after his ex-wife divorced him for another man because he was infertile.
“I am not infertile after all. Look at my gorgeous twin babies. Can an infertile man pull this through?” he asked one of his pals who came around to visit the twins.
Mrs. Fanny had noticed these days Teddy had avoided her body like plaque. Shocked to her bone marrows, she was over whelmed when she realized that in the thirty one days she had spent under the roof of Teddy , he didn’t touch her neither did he make passes at her. All his attention had been on his twin babies. She was just a name that existed under his roof. Worse of it was Teddy spending the night in a separate room with the twins and leaving her to the cold, crisp, winter that hung across her bedroom. Now she realized what had been pulling Teddy to her body and his reason for monitoring her all along.
In one of the nights she walked up to Teddy who was busy playing with the twins in their cradle bed.
“I will be leaving with the twin babies in two days,” she said to Teddy.
And he paused , dimmed his eyes at her and snorted, “I didn’t hear you right,” he replied and about to continue playing with the babies when he was interrupted yet again.
“I said I will be leaving with the twins in two days. My husband Ken has been worried about our absence.
He raised a brow, “Ok , you are good to go alone. The twins remain with me. You are his property. These,” he pointed at the twins, “Are my property…”
She interrupted him, “That wasn’t our agreement, Teddy. You demanded I bring the twin babies to spend some time with you , which I believe I have done. Your friends and associates have seen that you are not infertile. You have proven your ex-wife wrong. Please can I have the twins back so that I can secure my marriage?”
Teddy snapped, “I said no! This is the end of us!. You are free to use the door. You can return to your husband, your Ken while I keep my twin babies. Right now I can kill for these twins so please stay off my path!” he snorted at the top of his voice.
Mrs. Fanny went down on her knees, “Please Teddy I beg of you , put the twins under my care. They are are still yours… if I return to Ken empty handed, how do I tell him that the twin babies he believed to be his are somewhere with another man. How do I justify that?” she cried, went on her knees and crawled to Teddy and wept on his feet…”
