THE FEMALE MECHANIC

The Birth

Mrs Michelle Osazee just confirmed her pregnancy at St. John's hospital after 3 years of marriage. Her joy knew no bound and she couldn't just wait for her husband Mr. Alex Osazee to get back from work before breaking the news to him. After collecting the test result from the family doctor, Dr. Steve, she went into her BMW M5 which was one of the latest model as at that time. Her husband was a successful business man and the CEO of a Multi-million naira company. She drove off to the company and went straight in to the reception

"Is my husband in his office?" she asked the receptionist, "Yes ma". She climbed up the stairs and walked down the lobby. When she got to the door of his office, she brought out the envelope containing the test result out from her bag and held it firmly, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes as if she was a bit anxious "hello baby" she said to her husband as she opened the door and walked towards him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The couple loved each other so much and was very romantic, that was one major reason Mr Alex didn't succumb to the pressure coming from His parents to marry another wife and forget about Michelle.

"I hope I'm safe? What's up honey?" Mr Alex asked surprised "Ah ah baby, there's nothing wrong if I visit you in your office most especially now that I came with a surprise" she said as she handed him the envelope. Mr Alex with enthusiasm opened the envelope and brought out the paper containing the test result. He carefully read it and jumped up from his seat in excitement " I knew it baby, I knew you were not a barren woman, I knew you were not just beautiful outside but beautiful and also fruitful within, I knew it" said Mr Alex and he hugged his wife and carried her up like a little child whose weight is oblivious to the mother.

"I am going to a father", "I'm so happy the reproach is gone, thank you Jesus" Mrs Alex said as she knelt down and sang

"Doghe doghe, ese no osarumen

Doghe, ese no osarumen

Ese no osarumen, erha mwen ma setin wē

Doghe doghe, ese no osarumen"

Mr and Mrs Osazee are Nigerians from the Ancient city of Benin.

"Honey, let's go out, I'm taking you out" said Mr Alex as he takes his wife out of the office.

It was already 14 weeks down the pregnancy and Mr and Mrs Alex went for scan. During the Ultrasound scan, Dr. Steve said that the couple were expecting a set of twin and they needed to prepare towards it. The couple's joy knew no bound and they just couldn't cover it up. Mr Alex went on more shopping as well as Mrs Alex, they bought everything buyable both the useful ones and the useless ones and the things were ones with extremely good quality.

It was delivery time and Mr Alex already took his wife to the family hospital. Mrs Alex couldn't stop shouting out of pain while the doctors and nurses were all running Helter skelter

"Mr Alex, please follow me to my office" Dr Steve beckoned. They walked into the office "Sit down Mr Alex" the doctor said

"I hope there's no problem?" asked Mr Alex with a worry some face

" Congratulations, your wife delivered successfully"

"Yes, Osa wese o" Mr Alex said excited

"But there is a problem"

"What"

"We lost one of your babies"

"How? What do you mean?"

"Your wife delivered a boy and a girl and out of some complications, the boy couldn't make it. we are deeply sorry" Dr. Steve pleaded

Mr Alex slowly got up from the chair staring at Dr. Steve in confusion and then shouted in pain

"please calm down sir" pleaded Dr. Steve and other nurses that came into the office as a result of the shout.

After Mr Alex has put himself together, he went into the ward to meet his wife and daughter only to see her crying

"Honey, calm down ok. God knows the best and thank God we still have a daughter. it isn't healthy for you to be crying in this state" Mr Alex said petting his wife

"Baby, but why me?" She asked in tears

"It's ok, God knows best. You will get pregnant again" said Mr Alex as he wiped away the tears from his wife's cheeks.

"The doctor said you will be able to go home tomorrow" Mr Alex said

"okay"

"Hello my little princess" said Mr Alex as he walked towards his daughter.
