"Am sorry but if you need children, go and look for them to adopt elsewhere. Good day!" Helen swallowed hard, her twins mean the world to her."It's okay ma'am Helen. It's totally fine if you don't want to let them go. They are your kids anyway, we understand that you are bonded and you have motherly love for them. We can't force you to do what you don't want to do that you will regret in the future. If you don't want us to adopt your kids it's fine but Incase you change your mind, you can call me, am sure you still have my number. Please, do give it a thought. Meanwhile, it was nice meeting you, thanks for everything, the encouragement and the drinks. Have a lovely day." He said and turned to leave, feeling disappointed. He pulled his wife along with him. "Bye, Helen." Mrs Wellspring waved and followed her husband. They left the house.Hearing the door slammed, Helen knew Mr Wellspring and his wife had left her house. She slumped hard on a chair with her head tilted

Helen's best friend chuckled, she wasn't interested in Helen's long motivational talk, all she wanted was for Helen to take care if her kids when she was gone. Deep down, she knew she wasn't going to make it, she had so many dreams about it, she was scared of childbirth, she was scared of the pain and the gradual painful healing after childbirth, though her husband opted for a cesarean section for her, she was still scared, she knew she was going to die but she wanted her babies to live so her husband won't be lonely. After several thoughts, she concluded that Helen, her best friend was going to marry her husband and take care of her children when she was gone. "Come on bestie." Helen went on, "Don't tell me you are bored already, you will be there when your kids are celebrating their second birthday, seventh birthday, tenth birthday, thirteenth birthday, sweet sixteenth birthday, elegant eighteenth birthday, twentieth birthday, thirteenth birthday, twenty fifth birthday, t

"Blood is dripping from your nose!" Helen screamed and pointed at her best friend's nose and jumped in fear, "What is happening to you?""Oh, that? It's as a result of my blood pressure. I think it has increased again." Her best friend said and wiped the blood away with the  back of her hand. Helen rushed to get her best friend's blood pressure suppressing drugs. She dashed into the kitchen, got a glass cup of water and ran to her. Her best friend swallowed the drugs and gulped down the water. Helen sat beside her and made her best friend lay her head on her laps, rubbing her hair and tummy at intervals. "So high blood pressure can cause nose bleeding? I never heard of that." "The thing is, nose bleeding isn't really a symptom of high blood pressure." She explained."But when you were bleeding from the nose, you told me to get you your blood pressure suppressing drugs that your blood pressure has increased. I don't understand what you are saying." Helen

Helen's husband kept shaking his wife vigorously hoping she will talk to him."Sir please stop it. it's of no use, she is already dead." The doctor told him and signed, he felt sorry for him. Helen stopped wailing and looked at her best friend's husband, she remembered what her  best friend told her about marrying her husband, she imagined how it will be like being his wife. Many thoughts ran through her mind. What is he doesn't like me? She thought and frowned, what if he hated me? What if he doesn't he sends me away without giving me his children children? What would I tell my best friend? What uf my best friend's spirit haunt me? What if her spirit kill me? A terrified look flashed through her face, she imagined being his wife. Though she would love to grant her late best friend's last wish but she wasn't comfortable with the idea. She shrugged her shoulders, she couldn't imagine, she will accept to marry a man she doesn't love? Or even have a crush on? That's weird! &nbs

Helen wiped the tears and stated at the babies in the cot, it was a boy and a girl. The boy had green eyes while there was nothing special about the girl but they were very beautiful and looked like Helen and her husband. Finally, she was happy wasn't going to marry out of pity. She would marry whom she loved and take care of the twins with the last drop of his blood. She hoped her future husband will love her and accept her and the twins. She carried the twins and played with them a little, they looked hungry, they wanted breast milk, they wanted to be breastfed with the first milk from their mother's breast, colostrum but they were bottle-fed . The nurse attended to the twins, she bottle-fed them each. Suddenly, there was strong wind everywhere in the ward, it surrounded Helen and the twins. Helen got scared, she knew it was her best friend and her husband's ghost that surrounded them. She froze for sometime, she wanted to run out of fear but her legs seemed to be glued to the flo
