"How long do you think it will take you to get my brother?" Frank asked laying lazily on the bed.
" To be honest, I can't say for sure. He doesn't even look at me at all" Miranda said struggling to bottom up her blouse.
"Oh come on, you need to step up your game. I am running out of time" Frank said irritated
" Wait! I forgot to tell you something" Miranda suddenly remembered she hasn't told Frank about Naomi.
"What?" Frank asked
"Your brother came back with a woman, a pregnant woman" Miranda said.
Frank was stunned
" What the heck are you saying? How could you forget such an important thing?" Frank said throwing the pillows at her.
"I am sorry, I had it in mind to tell you but, we had to do that thing...."
" Fuck yourself up bitch! How can I have so many dumb people around me" Frank bursted
Miranda quivered at a corner. She was very scared.
"Tell me, do you think my brother is responsible for the pregnancy? Like we're they very close?" Frank asked"
"He was... carrying... her in his arms and...they looked like a couple." Miranda stammered"
"Fuck! Fuck!" Frank said beating the bed in anger.
" Just leave now before I tear you into pieces" Frank shouted
Miranda quickly picked her stuff and didn't bother to dress properly before running out of the room.
"Kelvin!" Frank called.
"Yes boss" Kelvin rushed inside the room
" Didn't I asked you to keep an eye on my brother? How come I don't know he brought a pregnant woman back? What have I been paying you for?" Frank fired.
Kelvin fell on his knees " Boss, I am so sorry. I have been following him up but I never saw any pregnant woman. Maybe he brought her back from his field work. And, you know we can only watch him from a distance so that we won't blow our cover" Kelvin said fidgeting.
" Is that so?" Frank asked smirking. He walked up to Frank and rubs his head. "It seems your mother has been doing well lately at the hospital. I wonder what will happen if her Oxygen is suddenly plugged out? Hmmm, will she suffocate or will a miracle happen?" Frank said without expression
" No please, boss, please spare my mother. She knows nothing" Kelvin begged with tears.
" Oh okay, let's leave the innocent woman" Frank said in sacarsm. " But my crocs has been too hungry for a long time, what part of your body should I give them to have a taste?" Frank asked
" Ahhhh, boss, please I beg you, I am the only one my mother has to take care of her." Kelvin begged sweating.
" No baby boy, you have to pay for making me upset. Okay, how about I put you in a cage with the crocs, if you are able to climb to safety before they get to you, then you are free but if not, it means the devil will have to welcome you in hell" Frank said laughing
" Boss please..., Please spare me, please"
" Boys" Frank called
A group of bodyguards came inside
"Boss" they choursed
"Take him to the crocs" Frank ordered.
Kelvin was dragged out amid his shouts.
"Bunch of losers" Frank exclaimed.
Looks like he will have to pay his brother a visit to see things for himself.
Jane led Naomi out of the doctor's office after they were done doing ultrasound.
"You should sit here while I go check on the results" Jane said
" Okay, I will wait for you" Naomi said smiling.
Jane quickly walked down the corridor. She has successfully gotten Naomi's saliva specimen. She walks into a room and handed the stuffs to a nurse.
"I want the results to be accurate and I want it fast. Here is something to hasten your works" Jane said handling an envelope. The nurse nodded and left.
Jane breaths in deeply before leaving the room.
Naomi sat down waiting for Jane. She was also lost in her thoughts. She was battling if she should tell Eric her story or keep it. Honestly, she feels safe around him like she has known him for a long time. She really wanted to let out what has been in her mind for months. And, she needed all the help she can get for her baby and herself. She didn't know how much influence Eric has, but with the little she has seen, he seems to hold power. She could attest to that with the kind of attention they received in this hospital. Eric didn't take her to his hospital because he said he didn't want to expose her to his life yet. He referred them to another hospital but the reaction of the doctor when his name was mentioned, was enough to tell her that Eric was a reputable figure. She was still busy thinking when some kid ran into her.
"Hey, easy baby" Naomi said saving the kid from getting hurt.
"Johnson" a dark skin lady with glasses called. She was the kid's mother.
"Sorry miss, hope he didn't bump into you?" The lady asked.
" Not at all" Naomi said smiling
"Oh okay, I am Sarah" Sarah said introducing herself.
" I am Naomi" Naomi said taking her hands
" First time mom, I guess?" Sarah asked
" Yeah and I guess you are a first time mom too" Naomi said chuckling
" Is that very obvious? Considering the fact we are very young" Sarah said laughing
" You have a very cute son. You and his father are very lucky parents" Naomi said. Sarah stiffened for a moment before smiling.
"I guess we are" she said
" Oh my darling! Sorry for wasting time" Jane said coming back from her mission.
"No problem Jane. This is Sarah and Sarah meet Jane, my...my aunty" Naomi concluded. Jane felt ripples in her heart as Naomi called her 'aunty'
"Oh yeah, nice meeting you, young lady" Jane said warmly.
" The pleasure is mine ma'am" Sarah replied.
" Sorry honey but we have to go now. We still have some other places to go to" Jane said
" No problem, we would meet again some other time" Sarah said
" Well, you know, let's just exchange contacts to keep in touch" Naomi suggested. They exchanged contacts and they left the hospital premises.
They went to mall to get cloths and other necessary things Naomi will be needing before heading home.
