The News
Diego
What is it Sophia(Packing his bag)
Diego looked at her shocked
Diego
Wow Sophi, it's a very good and exciting news!
Sophia
Are you happy about it?
Sophia asked feeling unsure
Diego
Yes, why not? isn't it something to be happy about?
Sophia
My mum just called, I will leave now
Diego
Take care of yourself and of course take care of my baby
They both smiled, he hugged her and she left
Diego
Mum, Sophi is pregnant
Diego
Actually, it was a mistake mum
Lois
No, I won't accept it, you can't accept it
Lois said with anger mixed with range sounding vividly well in her voice
Lois
I told you when you talked to me about getting married to her at first, and do you remember what I told you?
Diego
Mum, but why are you doing this?
Lois
Because this girl you want to get married to carries an AS genotype and you yourself also carries an AS genotype, so what do you want to reproduce a sicke cell?
Diego
But mum, our first child might not be a sicke cell patient
Lois
So are you trying to tell me that you have decided to birth only a child?
Diego
That's not what I mean mum, am just trying......
Lois
You are just trying to remind me that I gave birth to only you so you also want to do the same after all that's what your parents did right?
Diego
No mum, please try and understand Sophi is pregnant already
Lois
Then she should abort it, because I won't allow you be a father to a Sickle Cell child never!
Diego
Mum(he knelt down) am begging of you please don't do this
He says as tears rushed down his cheecks
Lois
No Diego, no going back in my word and you know that. What's wrong with you, look at Amelia she has been your childhood friend, why don't you want to get married to her?
Diego
Sophia is my choice not Amelia
Lois
You better start preparing to get married to Amelia
Sarah
I have a very strange feeling about Lois
Sophia
Don't worry mum, Diego will talk to his parents
Sarah
Sophia am not happy about this, I wasn't expecting you to get pregnant before your marriage
Sophia
It was a mistake mum, am sorry
Sarah
And you know the type of family Diego comes from before making this mistake
Sophia
No need to worry mom, I promise things will turn out for the better
Sarah
Alright, it's fine I will go too see Lois tomorrow
Sophia
Really? Like Seriously?
Sarah
No no no no, no jumping Sophi, you are carrying my grandchild

DISAPPOINTMENT
Sophia
You shouldn't be tickling me
Diego
Yeah I know, you are now double
Sophia
So what did your parents say?
Diego
She has a lot of reasons and....
Sophia
I had a bad feeling about this especially when she stopped our wedding plans and told us to go and check our genotypes. Am scared Diego
Diego
You don't need to, remember your condition, I will try talking to her. She's against it because of our genotype
Sophia
Am so worried, I can't even think straight
Diego
Just calm down, I will still talk to her
Diego
I haven't told him yet
Sophia
Am scared that he might also disagree and if the both of them doesn't agree then it's over for us,
Diego
Don't cry Sophi, I trust my dad, I will tell him to convince mum then the rest will be minor
Sophia
The baby in my womb is so sad after hearing this
Diego
If you are worried, then my baby will also be, just calm down and let me do the rest
Diego
Yes, I will do all I have to just for you and my unborn baby
He kissed her on the forehead. His phone rings and it is Amelia's call
Sophia
But you didn't even take anything
Grace
I saw Diego leaving in an hurry hope no problem
Grace
Are you sure. They are tears in your eyes
Sophia
Grace, am dead am in big trouble
Grace
What do you mean Sophia?
Grace
For who, how come, when?
Sophia
You know I see no one else but Diego
Grace
What, he is the father?
Grace
It's kind of a mix feeling, good and bad
Grace
Sophia, you know the type of person his mum is?
Grace
Have you guys told her? What did she say?
Sophia
She..... She.... She..... Didn't agree
Grace
No, don't say that you aren't, why do you think she didn't agree
Sophia
Because she believes we are going to give birth to a Sickle Cell patient
Grace
Honestly, that woman is just too wicked
Sophia
Am really confused Grace, I already told my mum even though she wasn't happy about it, she still agreed
Grace
That's just how a patient and an understanding mother behaves. Don't think too much you know I will soon be an aunty so don't stress yourself
She said comforting Sophia
Sarah
Am also very disappointed but what can we do the deed has been done
Joseph
Well, I hope the guy's family has accepted her?
Sarah
The guy didn't deny the pregnancy, but his mum is the only problem
Sarah
When I told you am disappointed, my disappointment is not really on the fact that she got pregnant out of wedlock, but the fact that she fully knows that her genotype and the guy's genotype doesn't fit and she still went ahead and got pregnant for him.
Joseph
This is really serious. We have no other option and we can't tell her to abort the pregnancy
Joseph
That's why his mum is against it
Joseph
I think you should see the guy's mum so you both can decide on what to do
Sarah
You have a point, I will work on that
Sarah
Have been hiding this secret for years now and now it as bounced back to me. I hid this secret for 25 years
Sarah said staring at her dead husband's picture in tears
