"Congratulations ma'am, the results came out positive", the doctor said looking at me. I shivered. Fear wrapped me up and i was freezing."You mean she is pregnant?", ms zoe asked boldly.She was obviously seeking assurance."She is 3 months pregnant to be exact", the doctor said smiling at me sheepishly.I looked at ms zoe and then at the doctor. I faked a smile, i didn't know what to do or say."Thank you sir, we should be on our way now", she said and shaked good bye to the doctor.We walked towards the car parking lot. Ms zoe's mood n face changed instantly."Ma'am, actually.......""DON'T!, I'm trying so hard to be nice to you right now", ms zoe said harshly. "Let's do the talking when we get home"We got into her car and we started off for home.She drove home silently. By the way, ms zoe is never silent, she is always talking about everything; her day, her workmates, her favorite crush, her work worst enemy. We got home, she banged ther car door. I got out calmly. We got into the the house. Michael and Alexis were on the living room watching football. My zoe threw herself on the sofa"Is everything okay, mom?""Shut up, mike!" Said ms Zoe angrily. "Both of you go to your room, now!""Mum, we are watching football" Mike said"Mike, Alex....to your room right now!" Ms Zoe said in a very serious toneMike and Alex looked at me. I faced down ignoring them both."Mom, we are going nowhere. Tell is what happened or go discuss whatever you wanna discuss somewhere else" alex said increasing the volume.Ms Zoe grabbed the remote and dropped the volume."Uhm, Kira here is pregnant, the doctor confirmed it" She explained. "We are yet to find out who the father is, so that she can be going to stay with the father of her baby" she added.I had chills. So ms Zoe will drive me out of the house? Where will i go? And what will happen when she finds out the real father of my unborn child?These questions raced in my mind, i started sweating heavily as if i just finished running a marathon."Mom, what does it matter who the father is? She can continue working here if she wants to. I mean you can't forcefully make her leave if she doesn't want" Alex said"This is the exact reason I said you guys should go to your room" Ms zoe said calmy. "You are only 21 and you can't get it. A pregnant is not just a small thing" she explained "Who is father?, Kira, let's not waste time, tell me who the father is. At least i can talk to him and let him know that you're pregnant and you can't continue working here, he has to come get you" she explainedI looked at mike speechlessly and my eyes were wet. I was shaking. Hot tears dropped down my cheeks."Kira, you're not a child anymore, look you are pregnant and you will be a mother soon, just speak up" ms zoe shouted"Mum, stop it! She is crying already. Don't you know stress is bad for pregnant women? Its gonna affect her baby" Mike said"Stay out of this" ms Zoe shouted"Mom, come on...let her be. Its her choice either she wants to stay here or leave" alex said. Ms. Zoe received a call from her office and she left instantly.Mike dragged me to her room."I told you a hundred times but you're just selfish and stubborn and now what will i do? Where will i go?" I said sobbing continuously."Hey calm down, we will sort this out together" mike said. " i will make my mom understand" he assured me."You don't get it, Mike. We are WORLDS APART" i cried uncontrollably "I know ms. Zoe, i promise i will make her under and she will accept you" Soon Ms. zoe got back.I prepared dinner. I set the dinning table and I served them. After dinner, Ms. zoe invited me to the sitting room. Mike and alex were present."Hmmmm" Ms. zoe cleared her throat. My heart pounded."Y'all get this straight, am not pressurizing anyone to do anything. All i want to know is who the father of the child kira is carrying is. I'm a mother and kira has been like a daughter to me since she started working here. So i wanna know the father n talk to him" Ms. zoe explained calmly."Ma'am.......the father....""I don't want to hear anymore nonsense and stupid excuses, so lets just be straightforward" ms zoe interupted me"Yes ma'am.......he...... he is......" i stammered"I am the father, mom" Mike said boldly."Mike, this is no time for your foolish jokes, please behave" ms zoe gave mike an owl look. "Now back to you, who is the father?" She looked at me"I'm not joking mom, i am the father. I have been having an affair with kira for 8 months now and I'm the father" Mike said, now with fear.Ms. zoe looked at me and i faced down sobbing." will you just stop it kira?, you trapped my son into all this and now these crocodile tears?" Ms zoe shouted.We were all quiet.
