Baby comforts me
LILLIAN
I sat in a bus for three hours,I spent three hours thinking about Mark and me,if I was ready for a divorce but that wasn't even a question neither was it an answer because I know that I wasn't ready to leave Mark. Jemima waved at me,she looked fatter,she stood afar from me in the park. The moment I saw Jemima, I wanted to run and hug her tightly, I wanted to be lost in her chubby body,to hide from everyone. But instead of doing that,I walked briskly to her. "Lillian, I've missed you""I've missed my rare gem too,I said" she smiled. I knew Jemima knew that I was burdened with something, the way she looked at me and smiled.
"Why didn't you bring baby,I thought I would see her here" I said.
"I left baby with my neighbor,this park is too crowded,I don't have have the energy to carry her or drag her in such

JUST MESSY JEMIMA I've know Lillian for long,she was and still is a friend I always can rely on. That day she called me,and said she was visiting me,happiness visited me that morning. Ever since I moved here,I always missed her. Even with her,sitting in front of me,I'm still missing her. "What ya thinking?" Lillian asked me. "Don't let those fried plantains get burnt o,how can you be cooking and still yet you're lost in your thoughts,this girl" Lillian cracked the eggs. "I'm sorry that we have to eat plantain and eggs instead of melon soup" I pleaded with Lillian. "I'm okay, Jemima" I know she understands but that answer was for another question, she answered a question that she knew I would ask her. "Are you really okay" I asked
NO HARM It binds us
IT BINDS US "Lillian,where's your wedding band?" Jemima asked "I dropped it at home,it wasn't on purpose, just a mistake. " Lillian told Jemima and searched around the living room for baby. "Where's baby?""She's asleep,I guess you didn't noticed when she went to her room" "She can do that by herself now" Lillian asked,adjusting her self to sit properly. "I told you, she is no longer a baby" Jemima told Lillian. "I told him I wanted a divorce,but it's probably a mini charade I acted. I don't want to. I don't want to be known as the first wife who can't have a baby. You know,the one that loses her husband's love when the second wife gives birth to a child" Lillian laughed and continues "Just like in the movie" "I've heard movies are scripted life s
NO HARM Can I keep it?
CAN I KEEP IT? "I'm tired of staying at home,are you not bored? We stay at home all day". Jemima stood in front of the mirror checking her hips and tummy,her hips were wider and her tummy fatter. " Why are you suddenly complaining? You're a stay at home wife/mom, you are used to it. By the ways,you pick baby from school right? Oh,wait, the school bus does that job. " She looks at Jemima who is rather more curious about her chubby self. "And why do you care if you are fatter or not,you look perfect just the way you are" "Let's enjoy ourselves" she puts this devious smile on her face and smirks. "What kind of enjoyment?" Lillian asked "Let's go for pregnancy check up" Lillian's sighs and sits comfortably on the couch,crossing her legs like a celebrity in a talk show. "Come on,it's just for fun" Je
NO HARM Wishing for the sky
WISHING FOR THE SKY "Are you really leaving now?Lillian calm down. You can't leave like this,I mean you're crying and you're in a state of confusion. You need to relax" Jemima's attempt to stop Lillian wasn't working. "I need to see my doctor, I don't get it. Why am I pregnant? The doctor said it would be very difficult for me to get pregnant,why am I......." "Lillian please! Isn't this what matters? The fact that you're pregnant,why does it seem like you never wanted a baby. I mean, for me this is a wonderful miracle" Jemima didn't have the patient to hear what Lillian was about to say before cutting in. "Why should I be happy when this baby is still going to die?why should I be given something that I can't keep? Who am I to wish for the sky?" Her words and emotions were not moving in the same boat. She couldn't just understand why she was pregnant but she really wanted to keep it,s
NO HARM A crack in the wall
A SMALL CRACKMARK I got tired of my mom pressuring me for grand children. After she found out that Lillian couldn't have a child, she let her be. I thought it was peace at last but she started disturbing me to get a wife or divorce my wife. I couldn't bring myself to tell my wife about what my mom said,I mean,it wasn't her fault. Then Kemi came into the picture,she was the perfect bride for me according to my mom. If marrying Kemi would make my Mom stop bothering me and my wife, I decided to agree. But Lillian is a tough nut to crack,I know she wouldn't just allow me marry a woman because I wanted to end my mom's war so I played "falling for Kemi" but if only she knew that I didn't fight for our love for so long just to divert my heart to another woman later. * &nbs
