Lizzy: mom please help me beg Henry.. this is the time I need him most..

Mom: sigh....
Samuel: I'll go and prepare her room for her..
Lizzy: thank you..
Mom: thanks my dear...
Henry I'm warning you.. nothing should happen to this girl here.. I'll will back next week to check on her.

Then the mother left...
Lizzy: I'm sorry babe..

Lizzy: forgive me please I'm carrying your baby..
Henry: mstww.. the first one you gave birth to did you ever take him as your son.. now you claim another one is mine..?
Lizzy: I'm sorry..
About 10 minutes later Samuel came back to the living room..
Your room is ready ma... you should go in and rest.. what will you like to eat so I can prepare it for you..
Lizzy: Samuel I'm sorry for everything I have done.. please forgive me
Samuel: its fine..
Lizzy: thank you.. she said and left for the room..
Henry: mommy! He called Samuel calmly...
Samuel: we can talk later Henry... not now please.. .he said and left for his room..
Henry sat on the bed looking so pissed and confuse..
What if this baby is actually mine? What do I do? What will happen to me and Samuel? I know her family will insist i marry her now.. but I don't want that.. infact I can't do that.. no way..
But what do I do? How do I settle this? Hmmm he said as he rested his head on the couch while staring at the TV...
Some minutes later.. Samuel went to the kitchen to prepare some stuffs for Lizzy... while inside the kitchen Henry walked in..
Henry: baby...
Samuel: howfer.. what are you doing here?
Henry: I'm not fine mommy... im not
Samuel: what is wrong..
Henry: you know what I'm talking about please...
Samuel: hmmm so? What do you want me to do? Should I tell you not to allow her in? You know I can never say that..
Henry: but you're not leaving right? You will stay here with me right? Eeh baby? You won't leave right?
Samuel: hmmm... I won't! I will stay!
Henry: thank you.. he said and hugged Samuel warmly..
Samuel: faked his smile...
Henry: so what are you cooking?
Samuel: I'm making pepper soup for her.. pregnant ladies loves that..
Henry: hmmm... okay..
I'll go check on her too..
From what she said in the next 2 months she will put to bed..
Samuel: yeah sure... you're happy right?
Henry: hmm I don't really know..
I'm happy I'm having a baby again.. but not happy it's coming from her..
I wish it was you..
Samuel: smiles... you know its not possible..
Henry: hmmm yeah... but babe is it OK by you if she moves to my room?
I don't want her to stay alone..
Samuel: yeah sure.. its fine.. I even wanted to tell you that..
Henry: okay let me go and talk to her..
Samuel: yeah..
Then Henry left immediately..
Samuel: i know it will soon get more intense than this.. just the first day you already letting move to your room..
Hmmm... I know I don't have a place a here again.. the moment she came with pregnancy... its better I leave here as soon as possible for my own sanìty... he said while getting emotional already...
After he was done cooking he carried the food to their room... on getting to the door.. he was hearing thier conversation
Henry: you should go and apologise to that boy again... what you did there is not apology...
Lizzy: yeah I will do so... I just want things to calm down...
Henry: good... you should call me if you need anything ok..
Lizzy: where are you going?
Henry: living room
Lizzy: no.. please stay here with me.. I need you here..
Henry: okay.. he said and sat down back...
Then Samuel shifted away from their door then he dialed Henry's number..
It rang twice but he didn't respond..
Then he waited for some time before going back to the door to knock again..
Then Henry came and opened the door..
Henry: hey.. howfer..he said and smiled..
Samuel: give it lizzy... make sure she eats it.. Good night
Henry: hmmmm... what is wrong why the good night? Why are you angrry?
Samuel: you didn't see my call?
Henry: I was in the toilet.. I wanted calling you back before you knock the door
Samuel: liar... he said in his mind while watching how Henry has began to change in few hours..
Ok its fine then..
Henry: we will talk tomorrow ok...
Samuel: alright.. bye
Henry: bye..
Samuel got back to his room and began to think about everything... hmmm I can't do this... I need to leave..
I guess he just have to put his family back together.. I don't want to be assunder to this.. maybe Lizzy has truly repented as she claim.. she need her man now..and it will be foolish.. of me to still wanna hang around..
Let me call my mom... and start making preparations...he said as he picked his phone and call his mom..
On call..
Samuel: good evening mom
Mom: my dear..
Samuel: yes ma..
Mom: how are you?
Samuel: fine..
Mom: why calling this late..
Samuel: you people should start packing your things.. we are leaving
Mom: leaving? How? To where?
Samuel: I'll call you back tomorrow.. please don't tell anybody this..
Mom : okay
Call ended...
Scene 2... 3 days later...
Samuel was in the kitchen cooking while Henry and lizzy was watching movie in the living room...
They were both laughing and looking happy together..
Samuel was staring at them and was obviously jealous... since lizzy came back to the house Henry hardly have his time... even though Henry do come to him and ask how he's doing but the affection wasn't showing again..
Then he walked up to them and told them the food was ready..
Lizzy: thank you so much Samuel..
I wonder what I would have done if you weren't here working for us..
Samuel: faked a smile...
Henry: he's not working for us.. he's helping us.. he's a family now.. not worker
Lizzy: oh sorry to use that word ok..
You're now our family help..
Samuel: smiled...
Henry: hmmm lizzy what is wrong with you?
Lizzy: did I say anything wrong? Oh my bad im sorry sam..
Samuel: ignored her and left for his room..
Henry: immediately stood up to follow Samuel since he noticed he wasn't looking happy..
Lizzy: babe where are you going?
Henry: I'm coming let me talk to him..
Lizzy: baby come let eat together.. I don't want the food to get cold..
Henry: hmm go and eat first I will join you soon..
Lizzy: no oo... let eat together 🥺🥺
Henry: hmm then he stooped and turned back..
Samuel: heard the whole conversation as he was going to his room..
He entered his room and felt bad...I know it will get to this.. and more his coming self if I don't leave right away...
I guess they happy together now..
He said as he called his mom..
On call...
Samuel; hello mom... have you guys finished packing everything?....
Mom: yes, I was waiting for your call since for the house location..
Samuel:its at bla bla bla...housing estate..
Called ended..
Samuel gave Henry the grace 9f few more days hoping Henry will eventually learn to balance things between them... but lizzy wasn't taking it easy as she was clinging on Henry every seconds of the day...
Scene 3( the day Samuel was planning to leave the house)
Around Early morning hours.. After making the breaks fast.. Henry came out of his room and met Samuel..
Henry: baby..

Scene 4.... ( same day after Henry got back from work).
Around late night hour.. Samuel went to their room to check on Henry so they can talk.. he has been calling his number but he wasn't responding...
He got to the door and met the both 9f them laughing and playing..
Then he wanted to turned back and leave.. but gave it another thought..
Then he knocked on the door..
Lizzy: yes who is there?
Samuel: its me..
Lizzy: what do you want? Its late already...
Henry: sam... howfer should I come?
Samuel: yes please
Henry: stood up and was baput leaving..
Lizzy: babe.. how can you leave only me here.. im scarred.. you both can talk later tomorrow na.. let continue with what we were doing...
Henry: hmmm... no let me talk to him
Then lizzy began to pretend she was feeling pain in her stomach so that Henry won't leave the room..
Henry: what is wrong ? Are you ok?
Lizzy: my belly.. the baby is kickìñg..
Henry: oh... sorry.. let me tell Samuel we will talk tomorrow ok..
Then he went to the door..
Howfer... is like her stomach is paining her..
Samuel: just few minutes we're done... I won't take time..
Henry: you know I can't leave her here alone...
Samuel: but we agreed we will talk about this this evening..
Henry: hmmm... im sorry.. he said with a soft voice..
Samuel: nodding his head. Its ok.. go and attend to her.. bye!
Henry: bye? Why the bye? Not good night?
Samuel: smiles... Good night then..
He said calmly and left..
Henry: felt quilt in him... he could see that everything wasn't right with sam..
He went back to Lizzy.. and they continue talking... he couldn't continue what he was doing with lizzy as he became uncomfortable... some hours later luzzy slept off..
Henry couldn't sleep as he was waiting for day to break so he can go meet Samuel as early as possible...
Around 5am... he got a text message from Samuel..
" hi Henry I dropped something for you on my bed kindly check it"
Henry: hmmm... then he stood up and rush to the room...
He knocked several times but no response... he opened the door and met kelvin sleeping calmly then he checked and saw a paper on the bed..
He opened it slowly and saw a long hand written note.. which says
" hi Henry, I know doing this is wrong and might look selfish to you but I feel this is the best thing to do, I can't continue hanging on something that is not mine.. we have shared some beautiful memories together which I will forever remember.. but lizzy has always been our assunder.. anytime she shows up you loose control... this last time she came back to take you away finally. And I don't think I can win you over with just me.. I mean what do I have to offer.. you have been the one helping I and my family since I get to know you. I guess this where things will end.. and I'm sorry it has to end this way.. this is beyond me! I love you much and I'll continue to do so. Hopefully till when I get another person that will show me love like you did! Please don't bother looking for me, take things as a man and move on too.
Lastly please take good care of my baby kelvin, I will miss him so much! And tell him I love him so much. Wishing you the best with your new family.
Hopefully you get to understand all what I wrote well.. sorry I'm not good with writing.. bye! Thank you."
Henry: sat on the bed.. then quickly dialed samuel number.. but it was saying switched off..
He continues to try over and over again..
Then he went to his room in a rush to get the car keys..
He drove off to Samuel old house and met everywhere empty...
Henry: hmmm he actually did left!
I told him to be patient with me.. I have my own plans too sam!.. he said in his mind as he walks back to his car, shut the door and rested his head and eventually slept off...

Henry: my boy! How was school today?
Kelvin : fine daddy..
Henry: did they give you assignments?

Kelvin: I want to play with my friends..
Henry: no.. sit here.. I don't have strength to be looking for you.. and I know once you go out this other two will want to follow you..
He was still cautioning kelvin when he turned and saw someone making use of his car side mirrors to check him self..
The person didn't know that someone was inside the car because the car main glass where tinted... (someone can only see you from inside, you can see what is inside)
Henry: smiled and was looking at the person..
Then the person turned and faced the main door glass.. adjusting himself..
Henry: 🤨🤨🤨 hmmm...
