Chapter 14

WRITTEN IN THE STARS: SEASON 2 14

SBANISENKOSI

My heart stops glaring at the mini black box infront of me, he opens it and I forget about each and every pain within me.

“Marry me..” He whispers, I try speaking but words fail me. I feel my lower belly getting more heavier and my vagina opening up.

“I don't have much to say but all I know is that I want to be with you for the rest of time. If your name is written in the very same stars I stare at every night then, you're the one I've been waiting for all this while.” He says, I breathe heavily. I suddenly feel the urge to push.

“Marry me, please..” He says, I gasp for air and slowly nod head.

“I'll marry you..” I say, his hands are shaking. My body is shaking.. he takes out the ring out of the box, even though my vision is blurry as of now. This is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen. He slowly slides the ring onto my finger, I'm shaking..

“Oh my God..” Luyanda says, I try speaking but suddenly feel my vagina opening up. What's going on..

“Something's wrong..” I say, my vagina is open.. more like stretched.

“I think she's ready to push, place her on the bed please..” Dr Mthembu says, Christopher stands up and picks me up, he places me on the bed and I feel my heart beating fast. Wait.

“Hold on, what do you mean I'm ready to push?” I ask her, she nods.

“You're ready..” She says, I shake my head. She must be joking, I'm not ready...no.

“No..” I say.

“Relax, you just push a few times and your baby will be born.” She says, my throat dries out. I really have to do this? Christopher stands besides me and kisses my forehead.

“Remember what I said..” He says, I glare at my mother and she nods. A sheet is being placed on my legs.

“Please widen your lega for us so we can start..” She says, I spread my legs placing them on the leg support thingie. I'm literally exposing my vagina...

“You have a really cute vagina..” Mbali says, Christopher glares at her and she looks down. I would've long laughed but I'm shaking out of fear.

“Need anyone to hold your hand?” She asks, I glare at Christopher and nod. He holds my hand tightly so.

“okay so we're going to start pushing neh? you push for me with all the energy you have.” She says, Mrs Biyela places the oxygen mask on me giving me some of it. I'm about to lose my breath.

“Please push..” She says, I close my eyes and tightly hold Christopher's hand. I start pushing, how's a head gonna be able to come out of my small vagina? come on..

“She was ready to come out shame, the head is already getting out.” My mother says, I breath out.

“You're doing good, carry on..” She says, I push again grunting my teeth and shutting my eyes.

“Oh she has a lot of hair..” Luyanda says. I feel my vagina walls opening up more, it's stretching. I breath out and open my eyes, I glare at Christopher who's crying..

“The head is almost out, try pushing with all your strength.” The doctor says, I heave a sigh and push again. Why do babies come out of your vagina again? I'll never understand.

“Oh God..” Mbali says stepping away, I breath out and push again. I hear my own mother sobbing..

“And the head is out! now push but not alot. It's just the rest of the body now..” She says, I nod and take a deep breath before pushing again. I feel Christopher's lips on my forehead.

“Baby..” He whispers, I push and feel my body lightening up. My ears begin twitching as soon as I hear... her cries?

“Congratulations!” The doctor says lifting the baby up, I breath out in relief but instead of glaring at my own baby, I cry..

“Haa, scam? she's this tiny kanti?” Nkanyiso says from afar, I wipe off my tears and glare at her, she places her on my chest and I feel my heart beating more and more faster. I'm surely dreaming, right?

“Oh she is so cute! please give him the scissors so he can cut the umbilical cord.” Mrs Biyela says, I'm not looking at them but I'm looking at this tiny human being who's in my arms.

“Here..” Doctor Mthembu says handing Nkanyezi the scissors, I remove my arm and let him cut the umbilical cord.

“Well done..” She says. I glare at my baby again..

“Hey..” I whisper, so this is the person that almost drove me crazy? the one that almost sent me to my own deathbed? what now?

“Uhm..doctor can we be the one to bath her?” My mom asks.

“Of course of course, she's all yours now.” The doctor replies, I heave a sigh and glare at Nkanyezi.

“Here's the person you were panicking over..” I say, he smiles a bit.

“Can I??” He asks, I nod & he slowly takes the baby from me. I wipe off my tears and watch the cute daddy-daughter moment. He's really crying..

“She looks like a little squirrel in his arms...” Luyanda says, I heave a huge sigh. It's over? the whole crying and body shaking thing? It's over?

“Nkanyezi come place her over here so we can bath her, Mbali please take out her stuff so she can be warm.” Mrs Biyela says, I watch everyone gushing over my baby? goshh I have a baby? how's that possible?

“Wait, what's her name? you never told us her name.” My mon says.

“Sphephelosethu Isemihle Analeia..” He says, she has three gorgeous names and I hope they were the suitable names.

“Ncoo, cute..” Mbali says, my mother starts bathing. More like wiping her, once she's done. She applies some gentle fragrance oil and a diaper cream as well, they put the diaper on her.

“You dress her up..” My mom says to Nkanyezi, he nods and grabs the bodysuit from the bag. He carefully dresses her up and my heart pounds excitedly, this is me? tf do you mean? Once he's done, he wraps her in the mini fleece and carries her in his arms. He walks to me and hands her to me, sizani? nantsi ingane ifana nam..

“You see that's you? in the flesh..” My mom, I stare at her for a while and she slowly opens her eyes.

“I'm freaking out..” I say glaring at her, my heart is pounding fast and if it stops.. it's gonna be because of her cuteness.

“She's beautiful..” Nkanyezi says, I'm about to speak when she starts crying. Hmm?

“So the drama was all for this tiny person? you're lying..” I say, they all laugh. I fail to understand.

“Breastfeed her baby..” He says, ohh.. I almost forgot that these are no longer his.. they belong to a very cute human being who's about to turn my life around.
