Chapter 1 - Introduction!!!!

The day was bright as the sun was shining, Mr. 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 was set for work. Mr. Freeman was a Lalanian Ambassador to Osborne . He kissed his wife on her forehead and said , "take care of yourself and the baby." 𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 the Ambassador's wife replied, "you also take care of yourself for me and our unborn baby." Mrs.Freeman was pregnant and she was in her final stage of pregnancy. "I will Sadiya," Fabio replied as he walked to go and meet the chariot which was waiting for him at the front door.

Sadiya was a curvy woman with red brown hair , bright eyes and also had a beautiful smile which we should say that it might have attracted Fabio at first sight. Now Sadiya was left home alone with some few servants. Sadiya as a materialistic housewife was left with the task of taking care of the home and also do the house chores. Sadiya usually did the house chores herself although she had the servants who would do that for her. As a good housewife, she found it more better if she did the house work herself even if she was heavily pregnant. "Oliver... Oliver...?, could you please help me water the flowers," she requested. Mr. Oliver was one of the servants they had with them in the Freeman Mansion. Oliver was a tall giantic young man. Oliver replied, "let me go and do as you wish" as he quickly rushed to go and do as he had been asked.

When Sadiya was done with the house work, she did some knitting and later took a walk around town. Mrs. Freeman decided to go and attend classes for pregnant women which she had to. "How old is it?" the class instructor asked. "It's 34 weeks old," she replied. Then the instructor said, "that means it's only 2 weeks from now, you can join the class because it had already started." She went and sat down as the class proceeded. They were taught how to take care of themselves especially during these heavy times they were going through and also taught how to take care of themselves after delivery so that they would not lose shape during breastfeeding.

When the class was done, Sadiya headed to the market to buy some household necessities. As she was still shopping, Fabio was on his way back home when he saw his wife heavily on the market street. "Stop the chariot," he ordered as he quickly he quickly got off to go and meet his pregnant wife. "Sadiya," he called as he moved closer. Sadiya was surprised to hear Fabio's voice. She then turned around only to see that it was her husband approaching and she quickly went and hugged him. "Why didn't you order one of the servants to come and get them for you,"he asked as he hugged her tightly. "You are carrying our child and I don't want anything to happen to you and the baby," he added on. "I was bored at home and so decided to take a walk. I also had maternity classes to attend today and when they were done, I decided to pass by and buy some household commodities before going back home." she replied. "It's ok, let's go home because it's getting late," Fabio said and they headed for the chariot and set off for home.

They were having dinner when Fabio said, I think it would be better if I take a leave from work so that I can concentrate on taking care of you in your final stage of pregnancy." "Fabio, the people of Lalania need you and your service," she replied. "I'm happy with the time I get to spend with you," she added. "Sadiya, it's decided and can't be undone. And the fact is that we are leaving tomorrow for an eight days vacation. he said. The following morning, they set out for the vacation in an unknown location because Fabio kept it all to himself.

After the eight days vacation, Fabio and Sadiya came back very refreshed. Very early the following morning, they all went back to their usual routines. Fabio was to go to office while Sadiya takes care of the house. Sadiya was in the kitchen when she felt the baby kick. "It's time..... its time," she shouted. She called one of the servants and told him to go and get the midwife and also instructed Oliver to go and inform Fabio that she was experiencing labor pain while her house help helped her to the room where she was going to deliver from. "Prepare all the necessities," she ordered the house help. A few minutes later, the midwife arrived and was directed to the room where Sadiya was and the delivery process had to begin.

Later, Fabio also arrived home. He was heading to the room but he was told not to enter. He was walking from one end of the house to another restlessly as he was hearing sounds from the delivery room where his wife was. "push," he over heard the midwife say. After sometime, he heard, "it's coming.... continue pushing," the midwife lamented and then he heard cries of a baby.

"Congratulations Mr. Freeman, it's a baby girl," the midwife said when she got out of the room. "Thanks for your service madam, can I go and see the two ladies?" he asked. "Yes you can go ahead," the midwife said as she packed her belongings so that she could depart the Freeman Mansion. Fabio quickly rushed into the room so that she could see his wife and their newly born baby. "Congratulations wife," he said as soon as he set his eyes on his wife. Sadiya said, "it's a congratulation to us because we went through this pregnancy time together till today when our baby is born." Fabio went and lifted the baby in his arms and said, "she really looks like her mother." Sadiya replied, "don't lie to the world, the baby looks like her father." "Putting that aside, Wife do you have a name for her?" Fabio asked. "Yes we shall name her Ashanti meaning a humble and lovable soul," she replied. " Wow that's a beautiful name," he praised it and said, "our baby is 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶 𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻."
