Juanita went to the washroom's basin 3 times. She had been feeling sick and nauseous lately. Her period had come on time I'm these two months but she was still afraid to visit the gynaecologist. The only man she had been in loved with was Jerry, Henry's brother. Jerry had promised to help her come close to Henry but it failed on that one occasion. She thought she could play the victim card and go to Henry to force pregnancy on him but no matter how she did it with Jerry, she couldn't conceive so she threw off her original plan of getting pregnant to lure Henry. She also gave up on pursuing Henry and decided to stick with Jerry. She threw up again in the wash basin and sighed to herself. She comforted herself and went to her toilet drawer. She drew it open and picked up a pregnancy kit. She wished she wasn't pregnant and did the usual procedure with the test kit. After few minutes of waiting, it showed, "Hi, congrats, you are pregnant!" That news hit Juanita hard as she slowly dropped to the floor. She felt her tummy. After 2 years the pregnancy came but it was not for Henry. She remembered how she mocked Jenny at the hotel. This was a great face slap. She covered her face with her hands and screamed.
.............
The table kept turning infront of Jerry. It refused to stop. He wondered what went wrong. The rule of his magic was never to get any one pregnant. He had lost half of his power to see what is recently going on in Henry's home. He thought it would be easier to subdue Henry by planting in Patty the spirit of lust and greed but another power seemed to be fighting against him and he lost most of the times. He tried stopping the table but it refused to bulge. It kept turning. He was angry and knew he had messed up by having it with no protection last two months.
Why did he lose? One, Jenny also implanted in him the spirit of low self control two months ago. She found one of the rule to his power. That day he had wanted it so much and couldn't wait to get another one when the one he had had finished. He kept doing it and poured it in Juanita several times before he got himself. He couldn't do anything about it as it was also against the rule to kill an unborn child. He was stuck and could only pray that nothing happened but now, it just showed that indeed something has happened. He sighed and regretted his actions. He called Juanita who picked up on the first ring.
.....
Juanita sat on the chair in the parlour. She held her phone contemplating whether to call Jerry or not. Immediately the phone rang, she picked. She confirmed the news over the phone, "let's have an abortion," she suggested.
"Never, don't try it. That's our baby we are talking about," he told her calmly.
"But Jerry, we have no properties to take care of our child or become parents," she said to him over the phone, one hand subconsciously feeling her stomach.
" I-I will do something, I will try," he said frustrated. He had almost everything planned out but those people kept fighting him. No matter how he tried to fight them he ends up loosing. How he tried to know who they were but something always blocked and covered them. He had everything planned out. Patty was the perfect pawn since Juanita stopped showing interest in Henry.
" Jerry," Juanita called, "please try your best to look for a solution."
" I-I-I will try," he consoled and hung up.
Juanita cried. She didn't know why she was crying but the tears flowed.
