SUPPORT

TEE WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE. HE WAS EVERYTHING I EVER DREAMED OF IN A MAN, APART FROM A FEW SETBACKS. BUT, HEY NOBODY IS PERFECT IT IS NOT LIKE I WAS THE BEST GIRLFRIEND. BUT OUR RELATIONSHIP DID ALRIGHT.
FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS HE DID NOT ALLOW ME TO LIFT A FINGER IN CASE SUCH AN ATTACK HAPPENED AGAIN. HE ALSO INSISTED THAT WE SHOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL BUT I REFUSED, I GUESS ITS CAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT THEY WERE GONNA TELL ME AND I HATE HOSPITALS AND THEY NEVER ALWAYS DELIVER GOOD NEWS.
THE WEEK WENT BY, AND I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR THE PREGNANCY TEST AGAIN. SO I WENT AND BOUGHT THE KIT AND WENT BACK HOME. DEEP DOWN I KNEW WHAT THE RESULT WOULD BE BUT I JUST HOPED MY THINKING WAS WRONG. TEE WAS WITH ME OF COURSE, HE WOULD NOT LET ME BE ALONE.
I TOOK THE TEST AND WAITED, MOST EXCRUCIATING THIRTY MINUTES OF MY LIFE. I CHECKED THE RESULT AND THIS TIME IT WAS A VERY STRONG POSITIVE. IT FELT LIKE A HEART ATTACK, DESPITE MY HAVING KNOWING THE TRUTH THE REALITY WAS STILL A PAIN TO SWALLOW.
"IT'S POSITIVE, AGAIN," I TOLD TEE
"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" HE ASKED ME
"IT MEANS I AM PREGNANT"
"I KNOW THAT, WHAT AM ASKING IS HOW? WE HAVENT HAD SEX SINCE..."
HE COULDNT BRING HIMSELF TO SAY THE WORD
"ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF CHEATING?" I ASKED HIM
"BABE PLEASE RELAX, I THINK YOU ARE IN SHOCK. STOP JUMPING INTO CONCLUSIONS"
"OKAY FINE, I NEED TO BE ALONE RIGHT NOW"
"I AM NOT LEAVING YOU LIKE THIS"
"PLEASE BABE, I JUST NEED A MOMENT"
"I WILL GO GET US SOME SUPPER, IS THAT A MOMENT ENOUGH?"
"YES IT IS"
"IN CASE OF ANYTHING JUST CALL ME. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?"
"SOME FRUITS"
"I'M LEAVING AND TRY TO RELAX, DONT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT"
"OKAY, NOW PLEASE LEAVE"
HE GAVE ME A KISS AND LEFT.
I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON, I COULD NOT TELL HIM UNTIL I WAS SURE AND I WAS NOT YET READY TO FACE ANOTHER REALITY.
