"What? Haven't you brought enough disgrace? You still want to go ahead to tell David you're pregnant with a bastard"
"Dad my child is not a bastard. He has a father". She was bitter
"I've spoilt you for too long that you no longer respect me. Well your mum and I has decided well keep your pregnancy a secret from the world and when you give birth your mum would take him as our child and he'll bear our name then you can go ahead to marry David . It's also a blessing cause I'll have the son I'll have always wanted ". He smiled.
" That won't happen daddy, never, I'm keeping this baby, I'll tell David and of he refuses the baby I'll call of the engagement". She walked to towards her room.
"Come back here, I'm not done with you. You must do as I say you're my daughter. You just walked out of your father. I said stop there ". There was no response which made John angry.
In Vanessa's room..
" Hello, why are you calling me at this hour? Its late good night". She sounded sleepy.
"I wanted to know how you and baby are faring. Why are you still awake? You should be asleep ".
" What baby? I've told you many times and I'm still saying it, my child is not yours. I was asleep but your call woke me up".
"I can't help it. I miss you so much ".
" You always want to have sex with me you're such a sex frick, you're a pervert" . Vanessa was angry she hang up.
Her phone rang again...
"Hello, I miss you but that doesn't mean it's about sex. I.... ". He cut short his statement.
" OK then, I need to go to bed now, good night ". She was calm.
" Good night ". He hung up.
Morning....
The doctor came by to check on her.
" Both of you are doing perfectly fine but there's something you have to be careful about ".
" Which is?" Her face became pale as she thought something was wrong.
"Don't stress it too much when you're having sex". She smiled.
"Oh ok". She blushed when she heard the doctor's words.
"She had sex? Does this mean she knows the father of her child and she's trying to keep it a secret?" Nanny Rita thought.
Doctor left and Nanny Rita was in Vanessa's room.
"Vanessa, I know I'm just your maid and not your mother. But because I'm elder to you and I take you as my own child, I'm concerned about you ". She holds Vanessa's hands sitting beside her.
" Nanny what's wrong? "
" Who really is your child's father? ". Vanessa was silent. "it's important for your child to grow up with a father. You really didn't do any insemination, did you my child? "
"No Nanny, I didn't. I lied that I did". She continued as she told her Nanny everything and the identity of the father.
"Then tell him, what are you waiting for? You want someone else to marry you while you are carrying another man's child? "
" That's not the issue Nanny, the thing is he sees me as a sex object and I don't think he'll marry me. And as for David I'll tell him about the pregnancy as an insemination ".
" Vanessa you're concluding too fast. Tell him about his baby and hear him out ". Nanny rubbed her hand.
" OK I'll tell him "
" Promise? "She smoothen Vanessa's messy hair.
" Yeah I promise." Vanessa smiled.
At the park...
"Hello, Vanessa I'm waiting at the park". David smiled.
"I'm almost there"
After a few minutes..
"Hi David you're looking good ". She smiled.
" Your ain't looking bad yourself". David smirked. "I remember how we always came to play here.We were young and radiant and nothing to worry about ". The walk side by side as they talk.
"Yeah you're right. Now we work on daily basis and think about our future, about a right partner to spend the rest of our life with".
"Hmm, so what did you want to talk to me about?". He held her hand.
"I'm pregnant "
.....
" Who's responsible, is Kim the one?" He looked at her curiously
"No, it's through insemination "
" Why would you do that?"
" I didn't think I was ready for marriage. At least not until I met you". He smiled hearing her last statement.
"Hmm, I thought he was responding, I'd have buried him alive for deceiving you ". They walked towards a bench but stopped.
" What do you mean by that? "
" I investigated him after I saw him last night and I discovered he's getting married next week and... "
" Wait, what?" She fell of her feet as David supported her to sit on the bench.
"Are you OK? "
" Yes, I'm fine, I guess it's the effect of the pregnancy ". She lied.
" Let me take you home ".
