Their eyes locked and her heartbeat increased as she shook her head slowly with her mouth agape."I know, Natasha, these are part of the symptoms," he pointed out."No..um, I'm not pregnant, I'm fine! The stench smell of alcohol in this room is driving me nuts," she lied as she chuckled while walking closer to him.She stopped as she saw his countenance become mean and she held her breath for a second."You should visit the hospital," he said in a commanding tone."Adrian, I'm fine, I don't need a check-up!" She explained."I insist!" He yelled."What is it, Adrian?! You can't tell me how to run my life! And what if I'm pregnant, uh? You'll scold me like a teenage girl who got pregnant out of wedlock?!" She asked angrily.He chuckled and looked into her eyes."I won't scold you, but it should better not be what I'm thinking," he said with a smirk before walking out of the bathroom.Her heart cringed at his words and she hastened out of his room immediately. She headed to her room and

He laid on the couch with his arm across his head as he watched the boys play video games in his apartment that afternoon. In the house with him was Ben, Derrick and Chris who were all making loud noises as they argued over the game.He sighed and looked away from them. Nothing seemed to interest him these days and he knew where the problem lies. He had hurt Natasha and right now, he felt regret for reacting so rash to the news of her pregnancy.She wouldn't give him rooms to speak any further and she had black listed his line so he couldn't reach her anymore. If only she could understand how scared he was to have a baby. Would he be a good father? Would he be able to stay committed if they both ever get married? He thought as he heaved a sigh.She was right about him. Adrian is not the only problem he was having. The real problem is himself; how to take up responsibilities. He was still deep in thoughts when his phone rang. He picked up the phone from the floor and he sighed, seeing

Mateo's testimony threw the court into an uproar and she couldn't help but smile as her eyes met with her mother who was staring at her in utter dismay. She could hear murmurings amongst the boys and she knew they must all be surprised about Mateo being hale and hearty when everyone thought he was still on his sickbed.She looked at Amos and he pulled a surprised face like one demanding an explanation. Her eyes met with Madison and she smiled. They should wait for the bigger surprise, she said to herself as she looked away from Madison.She could hear the prosecution lawyer requesting to bring in another witness which drew everyone's interest."What other witness? Isn't father the only witness we have for now?" Adrian asked in surprise, staring at her face."Be calm,.brother," she urged as she patted his shoulders."I present to you all, Mrs Alex's Steel," the prosecution lawyer announced and there was an uproar in court as everyone rose to their feet immediately."What is he talking

Their eyes bulged as they saw Alex walking to meet them. She was wearing a white nightie and her face beamed with a smile as she caught sight of them."Alex," they both called.She smiled and took the baby from Natasha. He was asleep already and she made him rest on her shoulder."What?" She asked as she saw the anxious look on their faces."I checked on you in your room but there was no response," she said to her."Look who wants to ruin her brother's beautiful moment," Alex said with a chuckle and they both smiled wryly."What's wrong?" She asked, looking at their nervous faces."We are planning to tell Adrian about the pregnancy tonight," Amos revealed."Opps!" She exclaimed."Whatever way, he has to know. We really need to tell him now that he is still in a happy mood. Inform the boys, and we will make it appealing to him," she added and they both nodded.Watching Alex walk to the garden, they both trailed behind her slowly. Stepping into the garden, they were welcomed by the cheer

"This is a joke, right? You're going to marry Kelvin?!" Alex's eyes bulged as she looked at the couch where Natasha was sitting with her legs crossed stylishly."It would save me a lot, it would save my family's reputation from humiliation," she said with a sigh.Alex scoffed and placed her arms akimbo."You weren't bothered about your family's reputation when you thought of raising the baby alone; what changed now?" She asked in surprise."Alex, Kelvin's love for me is sincere," she said softly with her gaze on the floor."And your love for him?" She asked.She didn't reply and she kept on counting her fingers slowly."You love Amos, don't you?" Alex continued."I can't love a man that pushed me out with my baby! You can imagine the pain he caused me by his actions!" She cried out loud."No man is perfect! No one is perfect including you! You've made bad decisions that hurt Amos in the past and he didn't take it to be the end of the road for you both," Alex explained, walking to the c
