Diary of a pastor's wife (part 12)

Abigail's face had softened, her eyes misted over and for a moment, she was calm.
"I am going to be a real aunty for the first time in my life Ekom." she said tearily and smiled brightly at the same time.


"You are an aunty already mbok, don't let the kids hear that."

Lizzy called at that moment.

"Ekom, I am very close to your house, I had a long day already at work, so I decided to just come give you the injection at home and then tell you about something I discovered at the hospital."

"I hope all is well Lizzy?"

"very well, don't be scared." I ended the call.

few minutes later, I heard the horn of Lizzy's Car.

"She is here." Abigail said and immediately stood up to fix the throw pillows in place.

Not Long Lizzy walked in, smelling of vanilla body spray. she was wearing jeans, a boot and huge cream colored sweater that came halfway down her thighs.

She frantically looked around.

"Good evening ma." Abigail greeted.

"Evening darling, you look so much like Ekom."
"She is my elder sister."

"oh nice meeting you." Lizzy said as she nodded at her without quite smiling, a little sheepish.
"You look tired." I said.

"My day was hectic. David came to the clinic to get his son's test result. He came with Ifeoma and the little
baby, you should have seen the look on his face when he discovered the boy is SS and he is AA."

"What?" Abigail screamed.

I stared at Lizzy in disbelief.

"When he asked Ifeoma who the real father of the baby was, she started speaking gibberish. smh, give me ice water jare before my throat will burst."

Abigail rushes to the kitchen and runs out in a second with a bottle of water and a glass cup. Lizzy pours the
water in the glass hastily and gulps it in her stomach.

"I hope you didn't tell him that I expecting a baby?"

"God forbid! am I mad? that idiotic human being called David doesn't deserve you." she said and sipped the water lightly this time.



"nawa o, this God is the biggest game player. Ekom you always said this." Abigail said looking at me amazingly.

"when God said I will make a table before you, in the presence of thy enemies. you thought he was talking to the devil? he was talking to us! You and I." I said, and became totally unfazed.

"Who did she say is the real father of the baby?" Abigail asked desperately.
Lizzy breathed an audible sigh of relief before she replied.

"She mention one Usman. She said he was pastor's former driver who used to live at the boys quarters."
"What?" Abigail and I screamed unbelievably in unison.

Abigail laughed out loud, she laughed and fell on the floor. The sound of her laughter stayed in my head ever since then, it giggles me.
